[Frost Snow at the front desk of the merchant union: Recently, the trading price of copper ore in Honghe Town has fluctuated sharply, affected by the increase in supply, the copper ore and sulfur reserves of the new alliance have approached the upper limit of reserves, and the purchase price has been reduced by 10% compared with the benchmark value, and the supply price has been reduced by 6%, please pay attention to the risks. 】

[Charlie, President of the Merchants' Guild: Reminder, the Merchants' Guild provides mercenary NPCs with trading level 3 or higher, which can get you a better price in the transaction.] If you are not confident enough in your negotiation and language skills, it is recommended that players hire 1~2 NPC followers.

[The NPC followers with VMs will be good helpers on your journey, some of them are good at fighting, some are good at hunting or healing, and their abilities can grow with you on the journey.] However, serious injuries and deaths can result in their permanent departure, so be sure to keep them safe! 】

Official website forum.

Today is as lively as ever.

The first caravans to return to Red River Town have returned one after another, and thanks to the strategy written by Brother Mole, these little players who were the first to eat crabs have made a lot of money.

Due to the early time of the transaction, they did not even feel the price fluctuations, and they had already exchanged the goods shipped back for silver coins.

Tail: "Huh??? Has the price of copper gone up? ”

Siss: "emmm...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, and when you discuss the price increase, we're already on our way back. ”

In fact, she expected that this might happen, so she kept urging Tail to hurry up, although in the end it was delayed for some time because of the name of the team.

But fortunately, they went at the right time, just in time to complete the delivery before the copper price rose, and the price rose directly when they woke up the next day.

Thinking of this now, Si Si couldn't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, she insisted on spot settlement at the beginning, if she was given a ticket at that time, or waited until tomorrow to settle, they would have to make at least one or two percent less on this trip to Honghe Town.

Makabazi: "Tell me honestly! How much did you earn! ”

Tail: "Not much, not much, just hundreds of thousands!" Uh-huh, it's a big step forward from the mercenary union's dream! (proud)"

As soon as the message came out.

The post exploded in an instant.

Silver Daddy: "Hiss ......"

Quit smoking: "Hundreds of thousands?!" Is this talking about soft girl coins or silver coins?! ”

Siss: "Ahem...... Don't believe what your tail says. ”

Edge paddling: "I couldn't tell which was more outrageous for a while. ”

The mole in the canyon is on the run: "Wait, where did the tail get so many silver coins!?" ”

Tail: "Hey, here's a girl's secret!" (ゝω·) ☆”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Hey, what a ghost! Tell me the truth! (Crazy)"

Debt big eyes: "I'm afraid there is not an ulterior PY transaction behind this!" ”

Less: "PY deal?!" Where is it? “

Makabazi: "Pass it on!" The tail is not clean! ”

Lost and new: "Woo woo, the rich woman is hungry, I don't mind!" ”

Tail: "?!" Σ(ﾟДﾟ; )”

In the end, no one has figured out where the tail coin came from.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this guy is just an ordinary sand sculpture netizen, and he doesn't have the temperament of a player with money ability at all.

Sisi, Sesame Paste and Meat knew some truths, but they didn't spread it everywhere, and Tail himself slipped away from the post aggrievedly after being educated by his girlfriend's private chat.

Compared to the luck of the first batch of players, who almost picked up money, the second group of players was a little uncomfortable.

By the time many people arrived in Honghe Town, the price of copper had already begun to go on a roller coaster, and many people spent more than 1,000 blue tickets for a ton of copper in just one day's work.

But there are also people who are very lucky, just in time to catch up with the crazy shipments in the major mining areas.

As of the official website announcement, almost all trading posts except for the trading post in Horseshoe Town can buy copper ore at almost the same price as cabbage.

Investment needs to be cautious, and many fledgling rookies have been taught a lesson by NPCs.

The economic system of "Wasteland Online" is not just sloppy as buying low and selling high, especially when the price of copper suddenly falls later, many people feel that an invisible hand is affecting all this.

Canyon on the Run: "Actually, I've always suspected that someone was taking advantage of the expansion before it started, and I thought that if there was to be a war, the price of copper ore and sulfur would definitely rise. ”

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "Why didn't you buy some buddy?" (bared teeth)"

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Hey, I thought, but this business can't be played without tens of millions of silver coins." ”

Copper is almost ten times more expensive than iron, and it's not hard to find in the wasteland because it's better suited to bullets than steel.

The market price for a 100 kg steel cuirass is 100 silver, and if it is copper, it costs 1000 silver...... Although no one made armor out of brass.

According to this algorithm, one ton of copper costs 10,000 silver coins, and the NPC warehouse reserve often starts at 100 tons, and now it is said that it has reached thousands of tons.

10,000,000 credits!

The total number of silver coins in the pockets of all players on the server does not add up to that much!

This game has a loan function, but it can only apply for a loan in the name of the enterprise for "production and business purposes", once it is judged that the use of funds is illegal, or there is a suspicion of benefit transfer in the accounts, it will be punished to bankruptcy in minutes.

Unprofessional anti-steamed buns: ", you say so, this price is fried by NPC?" ”

Irena: "The NPCs in this game have something, and they know how to cut the player's leeks. (Funny)"

Although the fluctuation of copper ore trading prices is only a small episode on the eve of the expansion film, many wealth myths are really envied by many people.

Especially now that there is an official silver coin consignment platform, not only players can participate in trading, but even cloud players can participate.

Looking at the posts of the entire gossip section predicting whether the silver price of the new expansion will rise or fall, Ye Wei, who was sitting in the classroom playing with his mobile phone, had a helpless expression on his face.

The main reason is that these people are talking about more and more esoteric topics, and he can't understand it a little.

"Are you tired of discussing this on the forum every day?"

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "You don't understand! It's also a pleasure! (proud)"

Ye Wei: ......

Boy.

This is completely unaware that he was treated as a leek by Ah Guang.

I heard that there is a cloud player called "Part-time Soldier", although he has not yet entered the game, he already has 10,000 silver coins in his account.

However, what makes this guy smarter than other cloud players is that he flexibly uses the rule that "any form of virtual asset can be traded".

He contacted players with closed beta qualifications through the trading platform to register a company, paid for his own technology, and asked players with closed beta qualifications to help hold shares and produce inverters from DC to AC, and he was stunned to play "Wasteland Online" into a simulated business game.

Although it is not a high-tech thing, it sold unexpectedly quite well, and it has received orders from many downstream manufacturers.

The official website recognizes the right to dispose of "non-binding" assets in the game, and although people cannot enter the game, the legitimate rights and interests in the game can be protected.

As long as you don't take advantage of the loopholes in the rules, you don't maliciously farm money.

Ye Wei thought about it carefully, although Ah Guang often drew cakes with them, he was actually very friendly to the players.

Other game manufacturers treat players as family members, and only Brother Guang treats players as brothers, never cutting their leeks, not to mention, and even cutting the leeks of cloud players to give them benefits.

Thinking of this, Ye Wei couldn't help but burst into tears.

Such a plan is too conscientious!

……

"Ahh

Chu Guang sneezed.

"Got a cold?"

Xia Yan, who was standing aside, glanced at him.

"No, I guess someone is complimenting me on being handsome behind my back." Chu Guang rubbed his nose and muttered something in his mouth.

Presumably a pollen problem.

Xia Yan glanced at him, and when he saw that it wasn't a cold, he didn't care anymore.

Today is the first weekend of April and her first day of vacation of the month.

As the number of players gradually increased and the work of the weapon shop became busier, a certain black-hearted boss finally found out and arranged a few more people for her to help, and she finally got a day off a week.

You don't have to go to work on this day, you can fish openly.

In his rare leisure, Xia Yan originally planned to sit on the sofa in the browsing room and watch for a day, but was fooled by Chu Guang with the sentence "I'll take you to see a baby".

For the first time, this guy didn't wear the iconic azure power armor, not even the blue jacket, and went out very low-key.

Xia Yan was quite embarrassed, thinking that this guy was secretly planning to take him to see what kind of treasure, but he was stunned when he arrived at his destination.

Next to the homeless village, a tall red brick mill swells, and behind the muddy ridges not far away, endless verdant greenery is swaying.

Nearby residents are busy in the fields, with two-headed oxen with thick shoulders and round waists, and a few sudden tractors running along the road, pulling cargo boxes stuffed with bulging sacks.

This is the north of Dawning City, on the west side of Changchang Farm.

The view is not bad, but ......

That's what he said about baby?

Xia Yan blinked, his expression a little cloudy.

All right.

She admits that this endless farmland is indeed quite spectacular when viewed.

It's just a little different from the tryst she imagined.

She had expected this guy to take her for a walk by the lake, or to dig for birds' eggs in the woods.

But at this moment, Xia Yan suddenly remembered that just three months ago, this place seemed to be a wasteland full of shrubs and rubble.

It's incredible to be able to become like this in just three months.

Following behind Chu Guang, Xiao Yu, who had been looking around curiously, had an expression on his face as if he had discovered a new continent, and pointed forward excitedly.

"That's a lot of barley!"

"Hahaha!"

Chu Guang rubbed her hair with a smile and explained with a pleasant face.

"It's not called green barley, it's wheat. Baked bread with wheat flour is much more fragrant than dry green wheat cakes! ”

Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva unconsciously and looked up at him expectantly.

"Really?"

Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"A must! Not only pancakes, but also flour from wheat can be used to make bread, steamed buns, buns and noodles...... In short, there are too many ways to eat. ”

After entering April, the wheat will enter the heading and flowering stage. At this stage, the young ears of wheat will begin to differentiate and grow rapidly.

At this time, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough water in the field, and it is also necessary to top dressing the field to control pests.

If these problems are not dealt with well, the wheat field will not only lose the yellow leaves, the leaf tips will be dry, and it may even be prematurely senescent.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether the work at this stage can be done in place directly determines the grain output in July ~ August this year.

Currently, whether it is a homeless or a player, whether it is a contracted field, a resettlement field, or a collective farm, all seeds cultivated by the Vault Plantation are used.

Although the genes of these seeds are already excellent, they still need to be taken care of in order to achieve a larger yield.

Chu Guang allocated at least half of the pot camel machine purchased from Boulder City to the irrigation canal in order to solve the water supply problem.

The matter of fertilizer is slightly easier to solve, there is a large amount of bird and beast manure on the edge of Linghu Lake, these are natural high-quality fertilizers, and they can be used directly after a little treatment.

As for pesticides, the most widely used type of organophosphorus is currently produced by a chemical plant in a nearby industrial area.

It is said that the large-scale plantations of the Prosperous Era used integrated planting technology with an infrasonic killing device.

Although long-term violent. Exposure to high-intensity infrasonic conditions can have a serious impact on people's health, but farmers in that era did not have to work in the fields like farmers in the New Alliance, they all used smart wearable devices to sow seeds with one click, so there was no problem of affecting health.

The new alliance does not have this condition.

At present, only more primitive pesticides can be selected to control insect pests.

"Where's that over there?" The little fish tiptoed excitedly, looking at another field not far away.

Chu Guang glanced at her line of sight and said with a smile.

"Over there, it's a leek."

Leeks are also a good thing, unlike other vegetables, other vegetables are only grown once or two a year, but leeks are eaten all year round.

And the most important thing is that leeks grow fast and can ripen in more than 20 days, especially the leeks in early spring are the most tender and fragrant.

When he found leek seeds from Vault 117, he had them planted.

Thinking of scrambled eggs with leeks and dumplings stuffed with pork leeks, Chu Guang swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and began to think about the recommended recipes on the official website tomorrow.

Just as his thoughts drifted away, the head of the farm, Luca Sr., walked up to him and looked at him with a surprised expression.

"Your Excellency? How did you get here? ”

In the past few days, he has been busy with the farm, and he has been in the field almost every day, and he almost moved the bed over.

Chu Guang looked at old Luca and said with a smile.

"I'll just take a look and don't care about me. By the way, how was the farm harvest this month? ”

As soon as he said this, old Luca's face suddenly brightened with joy.

"3,000 acres of vegetable fields and 5,000 acres of early-maturing potato fields are already being harvested!"

"Thanks to the harvester that you residents have come up with, we hung the machine in front of the tractor and watched it push forward in a few moments, and in a moment the crops were all in the basket!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but admire.

"That harvester was so good that it not only harvested the crops, but also turned over the land along the way! We don't even have to re-turn the soil, we just sow new seeds and plant them! ”

Listening to Old Luca's excited expression, Chu Guang's face also showed a happy expression.

"Great!"

There are a wide range of varieties in the vegetable field, mainly cabbage, cabbage, which are relatively fast-ripening leafy vegetables, which can be matured in 20~30 days.

The only drawback is that none of these vegetables can be kept for a long time and are mainly used to improve the diet.

However, that potato is too useful, not only is it nutritious, it can be eaten as a meal, and the yield is not low.

Although they planted 60-day-ripening early-maturing varieties, and they were planted in time for the tail of January, there was still a yield of two or three thousand catties per acre.

Counting 5,000 acres of land, 5,000 tons of potatoes can be produced!

These 5,000 tons of potatoes can be said to solve the urgent needs of the new alliance.

Players eat a lot, and the Awakened Power Department of Animals eat a lot, and the amount of food in one meal can be enough for three or four adult residents, and even up to 5 people if they are not human.

With these 5,000 tons of potatoes, regardless of whether his little players were steamed, fried or eaten in different ways, Chu Guang no longer had to worry about looking at the list of food stocks.

Potatoes are good for everything, the only drawback is that the water content is too high, 70% is water, and if you want to store it on a large scale for a long time, you must either dehydrate it or make it into flour.

But in this way, it will not be able to make seeds.

Coupled with the debuff of continuous cropping reduction, few countries will treat it as a staple food.

However, when there is not enough food to eat, it is still very good to rely on potatoes for emergencies.

Using high-yield potatoes and vegetable crops with short growth cycles to meet the nutritional needs of the residents of the New Alliance in spring and summer, and sustaining the harvest of wheat, rice, corn and other staple grains in July and August, is the highest priority task assigned by Chu Guang to the Logistics Department of the New Alliance.

Only when the granaries of the new alliance are full of grain can he absorb more NPCs and recruit more players.

At that time, life can really get better.

“…… You must remember what I told you before, don't keep staring at one crop in the same field, you can plant spring corn in the field after planting potatoes, and you can replace leafy vegetables with rice after planting, and rotate crops with water and drought. ”

Although Chu Guang knew that Old Luca had written everything he said in a small notebook, he couldn't help but tell him again.

Old Lukka replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not forget what you have explained! In fact, when we used to work at Brown Farm, we would usually sow a handful of barley seeds after planting a round of crops, and the kind that would ripen in a month or two. Half of the harvest is kept for ourselves, half is kept for the livestock to be fed, and the rest of the straw is burned to ashes and turned into the soil to be used as fertilizer. ”

"This should be considered a rotation!"

Chu Guang coughed lightly and said.

"Green Wheat...... Don't plant it on a large scale in the future, although the thing grows fast, the yield is too low, and it will affect the yield of the wheat field, which is only a disadvantage for us at this stage, and the benefits are not visible. ”

The most important thing is that it is unpalatable.

The sour smell of grass could not be removed no matter how long it was cooked, and the baked cake was also dry, Chu Guang had always suspected that it might have been neutralized with the alkali used for making noodles, and calcium salt or something else was formed.

Since there is enough arable land, Chu Guang is still more inclined to let his residents and players eat better things.

Wasteland crops such as barley and croissants are good pastures for displaced people, prisoner of war camps, and tribal people.

He heard from the Frostspear tribe that two-headed cows fed with barley not only grew faster, but also produced more milk than grass.

It's okay to plant a little bit in the pasture.

Old Lukka nodded earnestly.

"I'll remember!"

After not interfering with Old Luca's work and letting him busy with his own affairs, Chu Guang walked around the side of the ridge.

Admiring the lush leek seedlings in the field, the corners of Chu Guang's mouth unconsciously turned upward.

It's a thriving scene that I never get tired of seeing.

If only it could be autumn sooner.

By that time, Linghu. The scenery on the North Shore is sure to be even more spectacular.

Having been following behind Chu Guang, Xia Yan asked curiously.

"Is this how you spend your vacation?"

Chu Guang smiled and joked.

"Where did I get my vacation, is there still someone to rotate with me?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him with some concern.

"Brother Chu should also pay attention to rest, don't be too tired."

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Don't worry, although I don't have a holiday, I don't work 24 hours a day, and I can still squeeze out the time for rest and materials."

However, it's true that he's been very busy lately, and he's been here for a walk.

The days of the Northern Expedition are getting closer.

On the one hand, he had to negotiate with the staff to develop a specific offensive plan, and on the other hand, he had to coordinate the production of the industrial zone and develop the economy of the new alliance.

Although Xiaoqi helped him a lot, it was impossible to do everything for him.

Using AI to assist management is the municipal experience of the era of the People's Union, but completely leaving it to AI to make decisions is an unimagined path.

Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang in surprise and didn't speak.

Seeing Boss Xia staring at his face motionless, Chu Guang subconsciously touched the tip of his nose.

"Is there anything on my face?"

Xia Yan shook her head.

"No, I just thought it was a bit of a surprise...... How long are we going to stay here? ”

Chu Guang estimated that she was not interested in farming, so he said with a smile.

"It's just a drop by to see here...... Let's go, I'm going to show you the good things, on the north street of Long Farm. ”

"Speaking of which, it's bigger than the market at the north gate of our base, so let's go there."

As soon as he heard about shopping, Xia Yan was suddenly excited, and the exhaustion of his whole body was swept away.

"I want to buy clothes!"

"Buy!"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Anyway, the salary is paid to you."

"Don't ask me how you want to spend it."

……

“…… We found copper in the town of Far Creek to the south? And it's a megaton vein? ”

A department store in Qingshi County.

Liontooth, who was sitting on the chair, listened to the report of his subordinates, and his face with thick eyebrows and big eyes was instantly full of surprise.

Copper ore?

Far Creek Town?

Is there such a thing?

"Are you sure the information is accurate?"

In the heavy snowfall last year, he stayed in Yuanxi Town for several months and didn't find any copper mines, why did those blue coats find it as soon as they passed?

That's a coincidence!

Of course, it could also be that his subordinates don't have that eyesight.

As for how stupid his subordinates are, he, the boss, knows best.

The marauder kneeling on one knee at the foot of the steps bowed his head and hesitated for a moment.

"Small uncertainties...... But I heard that the whole of Dawn City was talking about it, and it even spread to Red River Town. ”

Hearing this, the expression on the lion's face did not calm down.

Copper ore.

That's a copper mine.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that copper bullets were better than iron bullets, whether it was an iron tube rifle or an automatic rifle.

And, most importantly, copper is much easier to smelt than steel.

The steel production capacity has always been a problem for the Chewing Bone Tribe, although it has taken over a large number of legions, but it is definitely not okay to always eat other people's leftovers.

The equipment is enough at the moment, but at least the bullets have to be made yourself, right?

In fact, it is not that the Chewing Bone tribe has not tried to solve the problem of supply on their own, but there are too few literate people in the tribe.

Even if there are some capable people among the marauders, degenerate mercenaries, and bounty hunters who have come to join them from neighboring provinces, the development of industry cannot be solved by a few people and a few maps.

The carrier of technology is people, and the basis of industrialization is also people, and they are educated people, but coincidentally, this itself conflicts with the "organizational philosophy" of the chewing bone tribe.

They want to establish a kingdom of marauders, not a kingdom of civilized men, and it is for this purpose that other marauders run to them.

That's why.

Whether it is the Tooth Clan, the Snake Clan, or any other clan, they have done a rather deformed job of developing industry.

They managed the factories in the same way that they managed slaves, making steel in large furnaces on the one hand, and beating them on anvils using primitive forging techniques on the other, using quantity to compensate for the disadvantage in quality.

Lionfang didn't bother to think about how bullets were made, but he knew the tribe needed copper.

A copper mine with million-ton reserves, and it was discovered so quickly, is not too difficult to mine.

Thinking of this, a hint of greed appeared in Lionfang's eyes.

The plunderer's disposition of the spoils of war has always belonged to whoever shoots it down, and if he can occupy the copper mine to the south, he will not only be able to become a captain with this merit, but also have his own clan banner.

Seeing the greed in the lion's tooth eyes, Bernie, the staff officer standing on the side, frowned and reminded him in a low voice.

"It's a trap."

Lionfang frowned.

"Trap?"

Bernie nodded.

"This possibility is not ruled out...... Those blue coats deliberately released a message to lure us out of Qingshi County. ”

Lionfang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Just those blue coats? What if they lead us out? ”

Bernie shook his head.

"It's clear that they're not the same people they were a few months ago. Didn't you listen to the gods from the Dead Coast, they even had planes? ”

After a pause, he continued in a serious tone.

"A few months ago, they didn't have those things to defeat the Black Snake, so it's better for us to be cautious."

Hearing this, Lionfang calmed down.

He is greedy, but he is not stupid.

Black Snake was much better equipped than him, and even had a powerful tank, but it didn't even pull out the nail nailed to the north of Qingquan City.

But that being said......

But it's a copper mine!

Seeing that the lion's tooth still couldn't let go of the copper mine, Bernie said in a deep voice.

"The top priority now is to find out whether the information is true or false, and I suggest sending a team of scouts over to find out."

"In any case, we have to determine if there is, and if so, where it is, before we can make the next step."

"That's right! Let's get to the bottom of the situation first! ”

Nodding in agreement, Liontooth glanced around at several of his subordinates, and casually pointed to the strong man with a big face and a round waist on the left.

"Copper furnace, you have a copper in your name, you should know this better, you take someone there to have a look, and if you find anything, come back and report to me immediately!"

The man called the copper furnace was stunned, and his face was full of confusion.

Although he has a copper in his name, he knows a ghost copper mine.

What does a copper mine look like?

But after all, it was an order personally given by the elder Qianfu, and he didn't dare to ask, let alone say more, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Yes, sir!"

It's the New Year, and book friends with spiritual roots use this app to read aloud and listen to books on the road!
