"Aunt Shi, these are all with me, aren't there four rooms? only three...... That's all there is to it. ”

This time, Han Qi was both the captain of the personnel of the relevant departments and the guide of the White Flag grocery store. Every time she came to Dark Earth, she stayed for more than three months, and this was the seventeenth time she had visited. Among the various hot towns, she has stayed in Dayuan for nearly 30% of the time, and she is already quite familiar with the people here. So she can hold Aunt Shi's hand and shake it back and forth like a coquette.

Aunt Shi shook her head: "There are not many rooms, there are really only three left." You're not the only visitors, there's a caravan that arrived five days ago, and they've used some of the rooms. However, I heard that they will leave in four days, and then they will be free. ”

"If all goes well, we probably won't be that long. Qi Ming said while taking off his armor: "Teacher Ma, can you do me a favor, my pants seem to be stuck." ”

"You, don't say a word, and do your own thing first. Ma Jianye stacked his heated spacesuit on the floor and went over to help. This dress is too bulky, and the more anxious you are, the more you can't take it off.

Aunt Shi handed over the three sets of keys to Han Qi, and Han Qi walked over: "Store Manager Laisha, there are six of us, and we can only divide three rooms." Each room was for two people, and it was already cramped to live in. Can you do it here?"

Obviously, there are two men and two women in the relevant departments, one for Han Qi and Feng Guyu, and one for Qi Ming and Ma Jianye. Then the ghost doesn't take up space, and she can even float in the air to sleep. Qian Jing didn't mind, but the last time he wanted to have the same room, he was rejected, and he felt that this time it was enough.

"I'll go to the car. Qian Jing took the initiative to say: "There are still a lot of things in the car, it's not good to be stolen, someone has to watch it." ”

"That'...... You're on duty and the rest of the time you're watching the ghosts. The two of you take a key. Raisa left one and gave the other to the ghost. Maybe Lasha forgot a fact, or maybe she didn't: ghosts can pass through walls, and she doesn't need a key. "Here, let's put on the thermal suit first and experience this thing for yourself. ”

There is no need for Raisa to remind her, Qian Jing has long been eyeing the thermal energy suit. It was a slightly pressed leather jacket that integrated the design of a tactical vest. The vertical and horizontal straps can be adjusted in size, elastically fastened the attachment, and a thermal circulation port is reserved.

There are three heating devices in the suit, each slightly larger than the palm of your hand, located on the sides of your abdomen and at the back of your neck, which are the three places that are less touched when doing various movements - unless you've heard of tumbling over or hitting the back of your neck. As long as two of the three systems are still working, the energy produced is enough to withstand most cold environments. Each core is individually replaceable and can even be carried out while the other two are working, so most people will bring an extra one just in case.

The system uses a specially processed pulverized coal as fuel, the formula of which is absolutely secret, but it is generally believed that there are components of a matrix battery. The thermal suits that gave them were second-hand, and the fuel in them was less than one-third, but the price was charged according to the full amount. "Our people work hard and contribute to society, so they deserve a welfare price. You guys are the normal price. Don't forget, leave your clothes behind before you go. Stealing is a death sentence and is carried out immediately. ”

Although the words are different, the plastic pieces left in the pockets of the thermal suits probably mean this. Aunt Shi of the Burning Stone Restaurant also said: "Every set of thermal energy clothes is registered, you must return it, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain here." Ugly words are said earlier, if someone accidentally dies, don't forget to tell me, I have to report it. ”

"Is it easy to die here?" Qi Ming couldn't help but say.

"Ah, you have frostbite on your back, I'll get you some ointment. Aunt Shi didn't answer the stupid question before. The rest of the team is safe and sound, and the wound on this one is already telling.

Qian Jing took off his other clothes, leaving only the vest that the "Magic Apprentice Robe" turned into inside, and then put on the thermal suit. One pair is a little baggy, but it's much better with a few tighter straps, which is a good design.

"It's less than twenty pounds, which is good. "You can also jump after wearing clothes on the Qian Jing boat, which is much better than the previous spacesuit. The hats, masks, gloves, pants, shoes and socks that are matched with the thermal suits add up to six or seven pounds, which are still within the range of bearing. Qian Jing just checked from the inside to the outside, if the heating, temperature insulation, and windproof parts are removed, only the power system is left, which can save more than half of the load.

In other words, the things to be done this time are a series of things such as thermal power plants, special power coal, and maintenance. Qian Jing looked at Laisha, can she handle it? From the fact that the thermal suit must be returned, it can be known that the locals attach great importance to it, and what kind of conditions can be used to impress the people here?

"Captain Han, when are we going to start moving?" Raisa also put on a thermal suit, but the ratio of the straps between the chest and waist was not very well-adjusted, the top was still tight, and the bottom looked loose.

"There was still more than an hour left before the scheduled time. I don't think it hurts to go early, so let's go as soon as we get dressed. Han Qi distributed the communication headsets of the relevant departments to everyone, including a headset and a watch: "You can talk when you wear a headset, and the watch is an integrated computer." It's just that its cold resistance is not good, so don't take it out of your pocket when you usually put it in your pocket. ”

"Do you want to return this thing too?" Qian Jing winked at Han Qi vigorously, looking like he was ready to play tricks.

"It's okay if you don't. It has a remote control self-destruct function inside, and it can only be connected to the data network of the relevant departments, so it's useless for you to hold it. Han Qi also replied with a smile: "Okay, everyone is almost there, let's go!"

Everyone changed into light thermal suits, Han Qi showed the way, Raisa drove, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Ohara House. Due to the climatic conditions, there are no high halls, no wide corridors, and no large offices where you can play golf. Mayor Zhuangxing's office barely fits ten people, and everyone sits around the central stove. This separate heating node also becomes a benefit for the mayor.

"It's very punctual, saying that it is arriving today is arriving today. Mayor Zhuang and Han Qi shook hands vigorously, and then motioned for everyone to sit down. He wears a thermal suit like everyone else, but with a gold "Mayor Ohara" badge on his chest. "How's it going, it's going well this time, right?"

"We came by car this time thanks to the manager of the White Flag grocery store, Raisa, and Qian Jing. Han Qi smiled and introduced everyone: "The White Flag Grocery Store is a cross-world commercial organization of the Origin Earth, and it ......"

"Oh, what's your relationship with the Eagle Business Group?"

Han Qi's words were interrupted only halfway, and Mayor Zhuang asked Raisa directly. "White Flag Grocery is not related to Falcon Business Group, at most it is a competitor. Our headquarters is located on the origin earth, and the headquarters of the Eagle Group is in a parallel world ...... earth"

"Competing with friends? There are never friends in competition. Mayor Zhuang shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with Raisa's answer. He asked, "What are your chances of winning if you were to go to war with the Falcon Business Group?"

What the hell is this, why is the White Flag Grocery Store at war with the Burning Eagle Business Group, isn't this obviously stirring up trouble? Raisa looked down at her right hand, rubbing her thumb on her index and middle fingers. "Mayor Zhuang, starting a war requires resources and sacrifices. How many chances we have of winning depends on how many resources and sacrifices Ohara can provide here. Why don't you quote the number and I'll do the math for you?"

"Before you report the number, I'll give you a list of numbers. I don't count the cost of presumptuously destroying the peace, just the Eagle Group. Its turnover last year was 20 billion Destiny Gold Coins, and its net profit was about 1 billion, and I believe it should still have something to hide. Mayor Zhuang, in business, I don't take the project if I don't have the capital to talk about it. Raisa kicked the ball back first, and then still kept a smile and said: "However, I see that Ohara is thriving here, there must be a lot of good projects, and we are still very interested in those!"

"Okay, as long as you don't keep the white flag, then there is still something to talk about. Mayor Zhuang rubbed his hands on the fire and said slowly: "Captain Han, did you come this time on behalf of the relevant departments to agree to the request of building a power station?"

"Agreed in principle, but the load you want is too large, far more than the demand of Ohara City, or any hot town. Our leaders want to ask, why set such a high requirement?"

"Because I want all the ice in the world to melt. Zhuang Xing snorted: "You don't understand." There are big benefits. When an ice storm comes, people never think that the power supply station is too big. ”

"The more power a nuclear power plant has, the more space it needs and the longer it will take to build. The materials, equipment, installation, and training are even more complex. Mayor Zhuang, we really hope that you will choose a small (nuclear) reactor on a ship, so that it can be transported as a whole, and only four to six units can meet the requirements of a city. ”

"I'm going to have a big pile, preferably a huge pile. Mayor Zhuang insisted very much on his point of view: "You don't have to worry about the land, what's so difficult to dig a big hole in the ice, we do this kind of thing every day!"

"That'...... Mr. Ma and Xiao Qi, experts in structural engineering and urban planning, respectively, had to assess the feasibility of building a large pile, and safety came first. ”

"Didn't you say these things last time?" Mayor Zhuang waved his hand and said with a big grin: "When a large pile starts to be built, the automatic robot will start to be transported." Everyone is happy, happy cooperation!"

"This time, the equipment used in the construction and the transportation of the products delivered by the autonomous robot will be handled by the White Flag Grocery Store. For Mayor Zhuang, you don't need to pay extra fees, and it will be more convenient to receive and pay. ”

"It doesn't matter. All I care about is when you guys start work. ”

"If you can send someone to take us to the construction site, we can get to work right away. ”

So, Mayor Zhuang called someone and took four people from the relevant departments to the future installation site of the nuclear power plant to check, but Raisa and Qian Jing did not get up. Zhuang Xing glanced at the two of them, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until the others had left and the door was closed that he said, "White Flag grocery store, I haven't heard that name before." What is your relationship with the authorities?"

"Partnership. We are a neutral business organization across the world, part of the Business Alliance under the Alliance of the Rings, and the only store in the Earth World with the qualification of Origin Power. We specialize in commodity trading and can guarantee regular, continuous, and high-volume transactions. ”

"Ah...... If I want a thousand tons of rice......"

"Yes, as long as the price is right. ”

"10,000 tons of steel ......"

"If it's crude steel, now is the period when the price of crude steel is relatively low, and you can count it as earning. The price of specific steel varieties varies greatly, and the output is also different, which needs to be calculated in detail. ”

"What if I need a fighter?"

"Fighter jets on Earth can't fly on Earth in the dark sun. Even for aircraft from other worlds, the range of options is too small due to environmental constraints, and the price is too expensive and outweighs the losses when it involves technology transfer across world rules. Raisa kept smiling and answered every question quickly and confidently.

"Fighter jets can't solve nothing, food and steel are the important things. But what do you want in the White Flag grocery store? I'd love to give you a plum ticket, but I don't think you're short of coal. ”

"The energy system of the thermal suit, we need this. We can provide raw materials and hand them over to Ohara City for processing, and we will take all the finished products. To put it simply, we exchange grain and steel for heat and energy clothing. ”

"If there is no technology transfer involved, it can be discussed. How much do you want?"

"One hundred thousand, the first year. Depending on the situation in the future, it may grow. ”

Zhuang Xing waved his hand: "We can't do so much, we don't have so many people." Let everyone participate in making clothes, do not farm land, do not dig coal, do not make steel, then our lifeblood is in your hands, this is absolutely impossible, no matter how high the profit is. ”

"I need 100,000 thermal suits, and it makes no difference to me to spread these orders among the hot towns, or to hand them all over to one hot town. ”

Mayor Zhuang slapped his thigh: "Yes, you can also hand it over to other hot towns to do a part, and we can put it away." Well, I think this business can be done. The exact price needs to be discussed in detail, but the agreement can be reached now. I have one more thing to attend to, and I've already made an appointment. So, we'll talk about it in more detail tomorrow at this time?"

Raisa stretched out her hand and shook Mayor Zhuang's hand: "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”

Qian Jing was a little dazed, walked out of the council and looked at no one on the left and right, and asked, "Raisa, are we done?"

"It's basically done, the key is to see what the price is, and whether we can get as much technical design as possible for thermal energy suits, after all, we still have to do modifications. It's just ......" Raisa muttered for a few seconds: "Qian Jing, do you think Mayor Zhuang is strange when he talks about the Burning Eagle Group." Why did he mention this all of a sudden?"

"I don't know. Do you think there's something wrong with this Eagle Group?"

"It's not just Lieying, I also think there's something wrong with this Zhuang Xing......" Laisha stood still, and seemed to have made a decision with a lot of determination: "Qian Jing, I'll give you a day off." You go to check Lieying, and by the way, ask what kind of person Mayor Zhuang is in everyone's hearts. Belch...... Just don't get into trouble. ”

"I didn't actually cause anything, it was all things that caused me. Qian Jing saw that Raisa's eyebrows were about to stand up, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, I will pay attention, and I will never mess up this business." ”
