Chapter 55 Receipt of Materials
In Qinghuabei, Zhang Bei led his troops to be stationed at the place where Chen Ning signed an armistice agreement with Buting Mountain.
"Chairman Zhang!" Chen Ning stepped forward and shook hands with Zhang Bei, he was referring to the other party's position in the Military Commission, and the other party is now the vice chairman of the Military Commission and the commander of the Qinghua Military Region.
Zhang Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly, stepped forward to shake hands, the chairman sounded much more majestic than the commander, but the essence was still the same.
"Don't make fun of me, sir, you're the chairman...... The gathering place has long been cut off from my food, and the group of people from Buting Mountain have been here for several days, and they are treated with good wine and meat, so I can only let the soldiers take turns to go out to hunt. To tell you the truth, I can't make ends meet now......"
"Just the matter of the past few days, hold on a little longer, wait for the materials they sent to receive and count, and the prisoners will be returned and get out, it is really difficult to support the gathering place, I will go back and know the life of the people."
"Hmmm......"
"After you go back, you have a heavier burden, several small gathering places south of Qinghua have been explored, take that batch of compensation materials, we can completely afford to fight a war without blood transfusion from our people, take those small gathering places first, and don't have to be so stretched after the stalls are spread."
Zhang Bei smiled when he heard this: "I thought that the adults were going to reinvest this batch of materials and feed them back to Qinghua......
"I can still figure out which is more important. The population under control is small, the scale of production is small, and our chips are light, so we will be passive...... Okay, don't talk about it, you can take me to find the gang in Bi Nan, and you can rest assured when you finish your work early. ”
............
"Brush-" The tent door was opened, and Chen Ning and Zhang Bei walked in one after the other.
Bu Tingshan and a few of his men were sitting at the table, concentrating on dealing with a whole roast chicken the size of a ploughing ox before the end of the world, when they heard the sound and turned their heads, they saw the two people.
Chen Ning silently stepped forward and patted Bu Tingshan's shoulder, and said bluntly: "What's the matter, the things have arrived?" ”
After all, this is compensation for defeat, not a glorious thing, Bu Tingshan rolled his eyes at him, and then reluctantly said: "Not bad......"
"Sure enough, it's about credit."
“...... Is it okay not to be trustworthy, I have so many people betting on you," he wiped his greasy hands that had torn the roast chicken on his clothes and took out a piece of paper, "This is the list, you go and order, there is no problem to change people back." ”
Then he nodded a few times as if he suddenly remembered something: "I almost forgot, there is this." ”
As he spoke, he took out a black box and slapped it on Chen Ning's shoulder.
Chen Ning took these two things, handed the list to Zhang Bei, and made a look, Zhang Bei took it out of the tent, and he himself played with the black box.
"This is your club's satellite phone?"
"Yes...... yes, our club...... Fresh blood is very welcome to join...... After all, this means another step in the growth of human power......"
Chen Ning watched him turn around and tear off a piece of roast chicken to gnaw, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated, and asked tentatively: "Don't you have any meat to eat there, how can you be an A-level ability, the leader of hundreds of thousands of human beings, why don't you know how to be reserved......
"Too ...... It's delicious, the system is different, you know, in our place...... The food is just to fill the stomach, and it doesn't pay attention to that...... Now that we have it, of course, we must seize the opportunity......"
Chen Ning had some guesses in his heart, didn't say anything anymore, put away the black box, turned his head and walked out of the tent.
Zhang Bei and a few soldiers stood aside, carefully checking the contract that had been signed at the beginning and the number of items on the list that Bu Tingshan was now providing.
"3,500 tons of aluminum, correct!"
"60,000 tons of steel, correct!"
“......”
After checking that it was correct, Chen Ning told a warrior to bring a letter to the barbarian king, asking him to bring the prisoners from the camp on the hill over there, while he and Zhang Bei went to count the materials transported from Buting Mountain.
It was also very troublesome for them to transport such a large number of high-weight, inconvenient base metal materials, and this time it was a full 80 large trucks with 12 wheels. The technology of manufacturing this kind of car is simple, but you must know that the current Qinghua can't save a single one.
The manufacturing cost of this means of transportation itself will not be low, not to mention that if it ignites a fire, the oil and gas reserves of the entire Qinghua gathering place may not be enough for it to burn a car in a day.
Buting Mountain brought these big trucks, in addition to the fact that the amount of materials it needed to transport was too large, it also had the idea of showing off its strength.
And the truck travel is actually very safe, firstly, the soldiers who are responsible for escorting are all elites brought out by Buting Mountain, and secondly, Qinghua's geographical location is really unique - for various reasons, there are not many xenomorphs that have evolved within a radius of tens of kilometers, and none of them are A-level or higher, which can be said to be a paradise in the last days.
Of course, these Buting Mountains didn't know, but when he led the team on a trip last time, he already remembered that there were no powerful xenomorphs in the vicinity, and that was enough.
This kind of improved twelve-wheeled cargo, each of which has a cargo carrying capacity of nearly 1,000 tons and outstanding off-road ability, really makes Chen Ning very greedy.
"Dut...... Bang! "The back doors of the trucks opened, and the white metal blocks inside were dazzling. Zhang Bei waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed forward, moving things, measuring and measuring, and everyone wasted half a day to finally point out the materials, and it was really the same.
At this time, the barbarian king finally escorted the captives back, and the hard life of more than a month, although they had food and clothing, but those old soldiers were still tortured enough, but the Qinghua soldiers who were guarding them and their food and accommodation were all on the same condition, which made them even more difficult to understand, and there was no way to protest.
The next day, the two sides found another vacant lot, formally exchanged the prisoners and supplies they had ordered, confirmed the completion of the agreement, shook hands, and then Bu Tingshan took his men to the big goods, and left here with two bags of cooked food in their hands.
Bi Nan can't leave him for too long, he must go back to preside over affairs as soon as possible, just on the matter of disbanding the gang as soon as possible, he reached a rare consensus with Chen Ning and Zhang Bei.
In fact, Bu Tingshan felt that he would come back here one day, and he keenly saw the shortage of Qinghua's resources from Chen Ning's undisguised desire for supplies, such a gathering place did not have much potential, and he was ready to receive this place at any time.
What he didn't know was that after today, it all became a fantasy.
Before leaving, unlike Jiao Ding, who was happily dancing and losing his temper of happiness beside him, He Niu in the prisoner queue looked at Chen Ning deeply, as if he wanted to engrave him into his heart.
In the past month or so, in the camp where more than 3,000 of their captives were held, He Niu did not sink after suffering a great blow, but slowly corrected his attitude, and finally made up his mind to change his past and change his mind.
If Homer was allowed to come and see, he would not dare to easily recognize this person as his former commanding brother.
In the camp, he had a heated fight with the guards who were guarding them, and listened to them talk a lot about the things in their gathering place.
It is a completely different system from Binan, where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone's creativity will explode, and everyone is equal in the true sense, including equality between occupations, equality between capable people and ordinary people...... It's unbelievable that all of these things are made by this bald young man in front of him!
Compared with the cold Billet Nan, who was not taken seriously just because of his low ability level, He Niu, who had completely woken up from his own dream, actually found that he still liked Qinghua more.
But before I could experience it, I was leaving...... It's a pity......
