Steel is the foundation of all modern technology.

But any larger force needs a lot of steel to ensure its own infrastructure.

The wilderness outside the city is not only scattered by displaced people, but also by the kind of "oasis" that Kild came from, which is a little more liberal than the city.

Organizations that are unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the city but have a little more influence will often break away from the city and establish their own base areas.

If you are unlucky, you will be taken away by a natural disaster, and if you are lucky, you may be able to slowly develop into the prototype of the city.

And this kind of organization is often inextricably linked to the existing city.

The demand for steel is not difficult to understand.

But steel is going to be on their heads......

The steel I took out was still piled up in the warehouse and not exposed, and there were not many facilities in the black street that used a large amount of steel, how could the other party throw the order to such an inconspicuous force?

"The benefits of the order are very lucrative, and if it can be completed, everyone's life will be much better...... Moreover, we also have money. ”

Kild stared at Baie intensely.

He can only achieve basic unified jurisdiction, and decisions in the general direction need to be decided by adults.

It may be difficult to set up a steel production line, but it may not be a big deal for adults, and if such a stable trade relationship can really be established, it will undoubtedly be a qualitative leap for Heijie.

In his current position, that's all he can focus on.

"......" Bai Er groaned slightly, and asked softly, "Is it an order?" Or is it long-term? ”

"If it can, the other party hopes to be long-term, and there is no limit to the purchase, and the purchase price will also rise in stages according to the monthly shipments."

Then you can't use your own inventory of drops.

If it's just a one-shot deal, exchanging the resources that are temporarily unusable for a while can actually improve the living standards of the black street is undoubtedly a bit of a bargain.

However, if you want to establish a long-term trading relationship, you will definitely not be able to meet the needs of the other party by relying on the existing steel on your own.

Need to build your own steel production line?

The black street is not good at this place...... The mining and refining of ores, as well as ironmaking and steelmaking, require super-large-scale sites, which can also cause considerable movement.

To do this around the city, either because there is a background to the sky, or because of the institutions of the city itself.

So then again, on what basis did the other party think that Black Street could provide steel?

"Your Excellency?" Kild asked tentatively.

"Give them a batch first." Bai Er squinted his eyes and made a decision.

It's the mule, it's the horse that comes out and slips.

It is not necessarily a development direction to trade a batch first to see the composition of the other party, so as to take advantage of possible powerful external forces.

What's more, setting up your own steel manufacturing plant is also a must.

Maybe after controlling Blackwater City, the acquisition of these things can be a matter of course, but Blackwater City can be controlled by itself because he wants to obtain those resources?

No! It is because of that strength and those accumulations that Blackwater City can be in charge for itself.

If the other party is really reliable, then ...... The ruins of the small town I saw last time may really be on the development agenda.

"Yes! My lord! Kild looked excited.

Really!

Worthy of an adult!

["Lucky Strike" Charge +5.] 】

……

"Doctor, the other party agrees to the deal."

"Really?"

The doctor, who had found an opportunity to sneak out of the dark streets, narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the report from his men.

Sure enough, the gathering place was not as simple as it seemed. ’

In this era, being able to bypass the city's sovereign institutions to provide steel means that it has a background to the sky, or at least has its own absolute armed forces.

The black street is just a disguise for the other party, and the main body of their influence is still elsewhere!

That's how it should be!

The existence of being able to abduct the first number should not be so shallow.

"First deal, give them a little sweetness." The doctor makes a decision.

Do you really think that the independent so-called "warlords" in the wilderness are free people?

Many of them are also secretly supported by the city's sovereign institutions, just to deal with some things that are difficult for the city to deal with on the surface.

He is now in the name of a field warlord he supports in the Gray Iron City.

"Yes!" The expressionless adjutant replied in an instant like a cold, merciless machine.

Glancing at the doctor's angular face, the adjutant didn't dare to say more.

Faced with an unknown force rooted in Blackwater City, he didn't feel the need to spend so much effort.

No matter how powerful the power is, since it has to rely on the city, it is not as good as the city after all.

With the strength of the same level as the city, it is enough to directly crush the past, where does it take so much trouble to find a "first number"?

The only ...... that can be explained Maybe it's because of the doctor's special feelings for the "first number".

It's the doctor's choice.

The adjutant lowered his head and wiped away the thoughtful look in his eyes.

……

"The deal went well, and the other party didn't seem to have any special ideas." On the third day, when he saw Bai E again, Kild returned with some excitement.

Steel is the core resource in the world, and the price given by the other party is very considerable, and with this batch of money, it is enough for them to purchase a lot of equipment and resources needed to develop the black street.

"Hmm......" Bai E nodded slightly.

The location of the warehouse was not revealed, he just piled the steel around the Black Forest and asked the Black Street to transport it back.

There are no problems with the first transaction, and it is natural to try to develop a long-term relationship.

You have your own resources, but you need to monetize, and it is not easy to have a stable and trustworthy monetization channel.

The other party needs resources, and this kind of resources belongs to the core reserves, which is a matter of mutual benefit.

"Their follow-up order ......"

"You can give them another part later, but later...... Just wait for news. ”

Even if you have so many on hand, you can't deliver them continuously.

The first trade paid 2,000 steels, and the total number of shares he dropped last time was 8,000.

Later, you can provide another 2,000 copies next time, and then you have to consider the establishment of a steel production plant, and you have to keep the remaining 4,000 copies in case you need them.

There are many more things to consider when you need to develop your power than when you are alone.

"Understood! My lord! ”

"There's another thing I want to tell you, I probably won't be here for the next few days or even longer, the Black Street...... It's up to you. ”

According to the instructors, tomorrow they will need to carry out sortie missions.

This is the first initiative they launched against the Zerg after becoming a regular pilot, and the outcome of the battle will directly determine the gold content of this group of new divisions in the eyes of the military bosses and their own personal plans.

If you are really able to perform well in the battle, as the instructor said, you may be able to ask to continue to fulfill the obligations of your special team, so that you can follow Minister Eric's itinerary and contact with the "legacy" that may be left behind by the electronic demon.

And you have the highest authority on the server hosting group, so you should have more opportunities than anyone else.

"Got it, sir."

……

The morning sun gently shone on the earth.

The warm winter sun shone softly but not blindly, and the combined forces of the infantry began to slowly drive out of the barracks.

"Buzz~Buzz~"

The tall mechs fell at the back of the troops, striding far behind.

From the perspective of the mecha from above, even those main battle tanks are as cute as larger toys in the eyes.

It was also the first time that Bai Er really realized all the equipment required for the formation of mecha to go out on an expedition - not only the mecha itself, but also the formation called "mecha", which followed behind him in some kind of armored vehicle with almost no attack ability.

These servants, theoretically also belong to the establishment of the mecha battalion, are often served by artificial people and natural people with no background and no ability, and they often need to have some knowledge about mecha maintenance, which is used to quickly repair the small broken mech's body on the battlefield to maintain the combat effectiveness of the mecha.

As for the armored vehicles they were driving, they were loaded with ammunition for the weapons that the mechs needed to use in combat.

Although the mecha is large, the real loading space is limited, and if it is not replenished in time, it will soon lose the output of thermal weapons and can only use the original combat knife to fight.

Behind each combat mech, at least five armored vehicles followed.

The armored vehicles used by the servants to supplement logistics, plus the mecha itself, is a complete mecha combat unit.

The voice of the Shangguan sitting in the command vehicle was heard from the cockpit speakers of each mech, "Although this sortie is mainly to hone your skills, our joint forces also have a strategic goal that must be achieved - our scouts recently discovered their expansion in the west of the hive. ”

Bugs are some kind of alien invasive species, and they invade more than just physical devouring.

The biochemical modification of the entire natural environment is the more basic form of their invasion of a planet.

The city's defense against insect nests is not only to prevent them from invading the city in various forms, but also to prevent them from expanding their influence in the natural world so that they can obtain more biomass and increase their strength.

"The insect species that have been monitored include common cannon bugs, worker bugs, bee bugs and a few praying mantises, as well as visible traces of sand worm activity. The mysterious Juggernaut can't pinpoint their tracks, and it's also difficult for us to accurately detect their sneak underground, so we can't be sure how many enemies we'll end up facing. The expansion intentions of the Zerg this time are obvious, and the protection force dispatched is only a lot more, and the battle situation we need to face may be quite difficult. You are the final pillar of this joint force, and I want you to be as good as your instructors say. Captain White, what are the questions? ”
