Three power armors remained at the north entrance.

As for their captain, Lu Yang, followed Chu Guang into the outpost.

It can be seen that he is very confident in his own strength, and he is not worried about any accidents at all.

Of course, Chu Guang had no intention of making trouble for himself.

Invited Lu Yang to the reception room of the sanatorium, Chu Guang wanted to bring something to entertain him, but when he took out his wine glass, Lu Yang hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"I appreciate your kindness! But I'm still on a mission right now and can't drink. ”

"What about milk?"

"Not really, we have reserves of fresh water and liquid food on our armor, and during the mission we can only eat our own things, this is discipline."

"The stool—"

"No need, I'm going to sit down."

"Okay."

I didn't expect to encounter disciplined troops in the wasteland.

Of course, it may also be out of caution.

Chu Guang didn't insist anymore and put things away.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious about what your SC-500 tracked transport platform looks like and what it means when put together...... Can you satisfy my curiosity? ”

Lu Yang nodded.

"Absolutely."

As he spoke, he reached out and tapped it on his helmet, a button-sized integrated lamp at the neckline that cast a light on the burning brazier.

On closer inspection, the light consisted of many beams as thin as cilia, and soon those "cilia" swung slightly, interweaving a transparent three-dimensional hologram above the flames.

"Holographic projection?"

"Yes," Lu Yang nodded, his face proud, "this is our Trailblazer!" Isn't it grandiose? ”

Four tracks, nearly 20 meters long, carry a square platform with a length and width of 50 meters. On the platform, there are cuboid modules, which are spliced and stacked like containers, looking like jagged Rubik's cubes or three-dimensional mosaics from a distance.

There are four of the same platform, distributed in four corners in a matrix, connected by pipelines in the middle, and it seems that they can be separated.

Not so much a cruiser that sailed onto land.

It's more of a four-legged fortress!

"Grandiose enough...... Do you have a photo? I mean, that kind of photographic photograph, not this kind of skeleton-like hologram. ”

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Photos? Yes, yes...... If you need it, I can send it to your VM. ”

"Please send me one!"

Although he was puzzled about what was the use of Chu Guang asking for a photo, Lu Yang still picked a less sensitive photo and passed it to him.

Hiding the joy on his face, Chu Guang coughed lightly, looked at Lu Yang with a serious expression and continued.

"Thanks, great help. In addition, I have a general understanding of your demands, to put it simply...... You need 100 laborers to gather resources and move materials, right? ”

Lu Yang nodded earnestly.

"Yes, it would be nice if there were more people! We need a lot of people to collect vehicle wreckage and other metal waste, haul it to our production workshop for refurnace, re-smelting, and production into the steel and other alloys we need. ”

"As for the technical problems, you don't have to worry about them, our engineers will take care of them! You guys just need to do some simple jobs. ”

"And as a reward, we are willing to provide food and accommodation for each worker, and pay them 1cr per hour, settled on a daily basis."

Chu Guang asked.

"What is 10cr?"

“…… I almost forgot, this is it! Lu Yang patted his head, took out a 100cr banknote from his waist, showed it to Chu Guang, and explained with a smile, "The bonds issued by enterprises, which are also used as currency, are full names are credit points, referred to as CR!" You can use it at any of the survivor strongholds on the East Coast to buy anything you want...... As long as they have. ”

"Plus, all caravans from the East Coast recognize its value, and you can exchange this bill for everything in their hands. A banknote like this is enough for a week's expenses for an employee of a company, and it is enough to save a little money for two weeks! ”

Chu Guang joked with a smile.

"So 1cr per hour is the minimum wage for the enterprise?"

"We don't have a minimum wage, but basic manual labor is at this price, and 1cr of an hourly wage for 12 hours a day is 12cr, isn't it enough? We will provide room and board for your workers! ”

"This is the province of the river valley, not the east coast. Well, do you guys have chips? ”

Lu Yang looked dazed.

“…… Chip? ”

"Yes, the generation of Qingquan City mainly uses this kind of plastic sheet as currency, and the merchants who come here know it, I thought you knew a little bit better." As he spoke, Chu Guang took out a white chip from his pocket and shook it lightly in front of Lu Yang.

The security paint printed on the chips shows no signs of fading even after two centuries, as if they are one with the material itself.

Lu Yang's face was a little embarrassed.

"It's a shame we're not businessmen...... Frankly, we're on a very important mission to the west, and the fate of everyone on this planet is at stake. Can we be accommodating for the sake of the future of civilization? As far as I know, the province of Valle is also within the scope of the business, and I use my reputation score to vouch you that these banknotes are all working! ”

"For the sake of the future of civilization, these words were chewed up a century ago. It's 211 years after the Wasteland Era, and nothing has changed. ”

Putting away the chips in his hand, Chu Guang looked at Lu Yang and continued.

"You must have something to trade, right? Are you all living on the air all this way? Whether it's food, weapons, or production tools and methods, we need them all on our side. It doesn't make sense for you to give me this piece of paper, and God knows when your caravans on the east coast will pass by us. And what's the use of just being able to use it, even if 100cr can buy a set of power armor on the east coast, it may not be able to buy a cow here! ”

Even in a civilized society with convenient logistics, the purchasing power of different currencies is different in different regions, let alone wasteland.

A caravan arrived here over a practical distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, just to exchange the goods in hand for a pile of scraps of paper that could not be spent locally?

They are in business, not couriers.

You've got to get some stuff back!

Lu Yang coughed lightly and said, "...... No matter where you are, it is impossible to buy a power armor with 100cr, even if it is scrapped. But I kind of get what you mean, you need food, weapons, and production tools, right? ”

"Quite right!" Chu Guang looked at him with blazing eyes and continued, "If you want to hire my people, you have to give them silver and copper coins. If you want credits, exchange them for what we need! ”

Lujan nodded.

"Understood, this is a reasonable demand. I'm not good at that, though, and I'll have someone from the logistics department come and talk to you about the deal, and he'll be here tomorrow morning. In addition, if it is convenient, I would like to set up an office with you so that we can communicate in a timely manner. The size of this office will not be very large, and the staffing should be two people, how? ”

Chu Guang nodded happily.

"That's exactly what I expected!"

Lu Yang's face finally stretched a smile.

Communicating with civilized people is always much more refreshing than communicating with indigenous people. Although the transaction is a little more troublesome, it can be thrown to the people in the logistics department to give it a headache.

The Pioneer is not short of food and fresh water, and it can produce its own daily necessities, except for mine and electricity. With the working laborers, the problem of the mine has been solved, and now there is one last problem.

“…… Then the next thing is the guide. ”

Chu Guang looked at him and said, "No problem, my people know this area very well, the key is what you are looking for." ”

Lujan: "Controlled fusion fuel rods!" Of course, I'm not talking about fusion batteries for power armor, tanks or small workshops, but fuel rods with helium-triple reserves of more than 5 kg and an output power of between 100MW~1GW that can make the Trailblazer move! The model of this fuel rod is a bit special, but our people can recognize it. ”

Chu Guang: "Then do you know where to find this thing?" ”

Lu Yan nodded confidently.

"Of course, according to our analysis of pre-war map data, there is a carbon dioxide collection station located near the 5th Ring Road in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. This type of public facility is common in densely populated cities, and its main role is to absorb the carbon dioxide accumulated in the urban agglomeration by using the electricity generated during the off-peak period, which is the so-called carbon balance. ”

"The backup generators in the CO2 capture station, the fuel rods are similar to ours, but the trouble is that they are usually not marked separately on the civilian map, but are merged with some high-rise buildings such as office buildings and apartments, usually between the 20th and 30th floors, and we can only guess its approximate location based on limited information."

Hearing this, Chu Guang couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Are you sure it hasn't been searched?"

"We're not sure, so we need a local guide to work with our Marines to find something that hasn't been looted yet."

After a pause, Lujan offered the terms of exchange.

"If we're lucky enough to find it, we'll just have controlled fusion fuel rods there, and as for other by-products, like long-chain alkanes, olefins, or ketones and fats, you can take whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you use them as firewood or make them for something else. ”

It shouldn't be burned yet.

Chu Guang felt that he should not do such a violent thing.

This kind of high-quality industrial raw material, even if it is not used for the time being, can be sold. A survivor stronghold with industrial power, such as Boulder City, should be happy to buy it.

Chu Guang remembered that old Luca had said that every year, a caravan from Boulder City would come to Brown Farm to buy the oil and resin produced by the camu tree.

Looking at Lu Yang, Chu Guang nodded.

"No problem."

"I'm glad we reached a consensus, that's all," Luka smiled pleasantly and held out his right hand, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

Holding his outstretched right hand and shaking it, Chu Guang also had a smile on his face.

"Happy working together!"

……

Looking at the captain who came out of the wall, the nervous several Marines standing at the north gate finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The curious gaze around them made them feel uncomfortable.

Haven't these hillbillies seen power armor?

Fortunately, these people were quite restrained and did not come up to move their hands and feet.

"It's not too early, let's go back first!" Walking to his teammate's side and stopping, Lu Yang looked at Chu Guang and said with a smile, "Our people will come again tomorrow!" ”

Chu Guang nodded.

"Then I won't send you."

Lujan prepared to leave with his men.

However, at this moment, the voice of a teammate was heard in the communication channel.

"Captain, there are explosions and gunfire to the east of yours...... I don't have a good view here, but it looks like it's a firefight. ”

Lu Yang was slightly stunned, looked at Chu Guang and asked.

"You're at war?"

Guessing that it was probably the big brother they left outside who saw it, Chu Guang said calmly.

"You mean the east? If that's a war, our people are really fighting mutants. ”

"Mutants?" Lu Yang's face changed slightly, "There are mutants here?" ”

"Where is it? Those green-skinned guys are everywhere," Chu Guang smiled, "Of course, I'm not sure if the mutants in the River Valley Province are the same as the mutants on your east coast, I've heard that dark green and light green are not the same kind. ”

"Either way, they're a bunch of disgusting guys! This group of human-dog-like beasts is like a tumor, which cannot be killed completely, it is simply a cancer of civilization! ”

Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said, with a jealous and hateful expression, Chu Guang always felt that there was a story.

With a move in his heart, Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"Would you like to help us out of this problem? For the future of civilization. ”

Lu Yang was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said.

"This ...... Not well, our discipline does not allow us to get involved in the strife of the locals. ”

If you get involved in the disputes of the locals, there will be one troublesome thing after another, and he is too experienced in this.

It's okay not to get involved in the disputes of the locals.

Why didn't you say that when you asked us for help?

"Mutants can't be considered human," Chu Guang didn't give up, and said patiently, "And when you reach out to us, you're actually helping yourself." ”

Luyan: "What does that mean......"

Chu Guang: "Think about it, if we have to deal with the harassment of mutants, how can we do our best to help you?" I promise you that if you solve the mutant problems for us, we can double the number of workers supporting you...... That's two hundred. Isn't it a violation of your discipline to make a reasonable deal? ”

Two hundred workers......

It seems that alpha 0.7 has to be brought forward.

Chu Guang thought in his heart, the new version just opened a new map and sent the players over to move bricks. Of course, nominally, this is not a "labor dispatch", but a limited-time event within the game.

There are limited-time events in the closed beta phase, and you can get rewards without kryptonite, where can you find such a conscientious game company?

Chu Guang himself was almost touched by his conscience.

And Lu Yang, who was standing opposite him, was stunned.

Two hundred?!

Are there two hundred people in this survivor settlement?

If you count the village outside, maybe there should be, but what he needs is strong laborers, not old and weak women and children.

However, it is also possible that there are still people who have not come up underground.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Lu Yang finally nodded reluctantly.

"I hope you keep your word."

A little more people to help out, and their progress will be a little faster. If he could, he didn't want to waste too much time here, and they were already walking slowly enough after entering the River Valley Province!

"Of course, I'm the most trustworthy!"

When he said this, Chu Guang smiled very cheerfully.

He knows.

From the moment the man in front of him lowered his head, the group of mutants who stayed on 76th Street were dead......
