Chapter 25 High-end talents
On the 3rd floor of the base, in a private reception room in Lyon.
Amy specially instructed the chef in the base to open a small stove and prepare a very hearty lunch.
Amlin accepted the invitation with his two children.
Halfway through the meal, both men were a little drunk, and Amy sensibly took the children to the activity room next door to play.
Leon shook a glass of red wine a few times, took a sip, and said:
"Professor Amrin, after a day here, do you have any thoughts on our base?"
Amlin smiled gently, and after a day of recuperation, he changed into a clean suit, shaved off the messy stubble on his face, and regained the elegance that belonged to an intellectual.
He coughed lightly, and his tone was steady, neither fast nor slow, with a little flattery to the strong, and said:
"It's safe, the conditions are good, everyone in the base is very united, very hardworking, and it is already God's gift to us to find such a safe shelter in the apocalyptic world."
"Of course, I appreciate your kindness even more."
"Mr. Custer, as an ordinary technician, I can't advise you on the construction of the base or the future of the organization."
"However, based on what I've learned during this time, I've found a place where I can contribute to the organization."
Leon was immediately interested, and he heard some professional confidence in Amlin's modest tone.
"Still, Mr. Amrin, I am a generous boss and will not hesitate to reward anyone who contributes."
With a modest smile on his face, Amlin said:
"My research direction is electronic engineering and software design, and I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and I basically have involved this knowledge."
"I can think of the first one is our currency payment system, and when I picked up the supplies yesterday, I noticed that the staff in the logistics department were still using manual records, which was very inefficient and prone to errors."
"I think I can design a proprietary money management system for the company, a magnetic card payment system, similar to a miniature version of modern banks and supermarkets, all data is transmitted to a central smart computer, only a magnetic card, which is both a proof of identity and a bank card for everyone, which will be very convenient to use and manage."
Leon's eyes lit up, and he felt that such a payment method was worthy of a tall organization like the umbrella company, and he asked with some joy:
"What about materials and equipment?"
Amlin felt the attention of the boss of the organization, and his confidence doubled, and he replied:
"I have inquired in advance, Ms. Quinn, who is in charge of managing the warehouse, found a lot of blank magnetic cards and corresponding magnetic card entry machines, credit card machines, the number of which is enough for hundreds of people to use, these are very common office supplies, as long as the software is designed and entered into the computer, it can be used normally."
Leon was slightly surprised, and glanced at the university professor in front of him with some meaningful eyes.
It turns out that he was prepared in advance, and it seems that this Professor Amlin is really a smart person, who knows how to show his abilities to the superiors, and understands that valuable people can live better in this world.
He bowed his head slightly, smiled and said:
"Very well, Professor Amrin, when this is done, I will give you a credit, do you have any other suggestions?"
The smile on Amrin's face was even worse, and he continued as he pondered his tone:
"You know, Mr. Custer, I used to be the chief engineering consultant for Delta Air Lines, and Atlanta is the headquarters of Delta Air Lines, and I know a lot about Delta Air Lines."
"It includes several aircraft fuel warehouses with huge reserves, private jet warehouses and a variety of advanced equipment from Delta Air Lines, as well as various supplies for a large number of employees."
"I estimate that there are about 100,000 tons of fuel reserves there, and there are nearly 100 brand new ones. Small private machines. ”
"100,000 tons of fuel? And private jets? ”
Leon grinned at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and couldn't help but show a bright smile.
I feel that my electricity consumption is guaranteed for the next few years.
Delta Air Lines is one of America's largest airlines and the busiest airline in the United States, with more than 4,000 daily flights, 19 airports, hundreds of routes, and tens of thousands of jobs in Atlanta.
Atlanta can become a transportation hub in the southern United States, and this airline plays an irreplaceable role.
If Amrin's intelligence is true, his estimated resources must still be a conservative estimate.
Leon was overjoyed in his heart, but with a look of pity on his face, he said:
"Good, your intel is useful, Professor Amrin."
"Unfortunately, our current strength is not enough to capture those large bases surrounded by zombies."
"However, your intelligence provides a visible path for our future, and I will take credit for you."
"Do you have any other proposals?"
The smile on Amrin's face was still so modest, he coughed lightly and said:
"Last year, I worked on the programming of a drone production base in the military, designing the operation program for the reconnaissance drones there."
"It's about a hundred kilometers away from us, I still remember that location, I guess there should still be a large number of reconnaissance drones stored there, there are not many soldiers, and a small amount of military equipment."
"Now there is a high probability that it has fallen."
"If we can get them, it will give us a significant improvement in our detection capabilities."
Receiving another astonishing piece of good news, Leon was already a little numb, and he kept the smile on his face and asked again:
"Any other proposals? Professor Amrin. ”
"Now that the satellite communication system is paralyzed, if Mr. Custer can find a high-power radio station or similar radio transmission equipment, I am confident that I will build a communication system with a wide range for the base."
The corners of Leon's mouth twitched, but he still asked:
"Anything else?"
Amlin thought for a few seconds and said:
"I remember that Georgia Tech had a well-developed disaster response system, and if the survivors had handled it properly, it would have been just over a month now, and there would have been quite a few survivors."
"By the way, if Mr. Custer is interested in going to the Polytechnic Institute, I hope you can bring back as many books as possible from the library, which are the crystallization of human wisdom and the spark of human revival, and we can learn a lot of knowledge and re-establish human civilization."
"Is there anything else you'd like to say? Professor. ”
"Not for the time being, the time is too short, I only think about this, if I think of something else later, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Leon took a deep breath, looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him with a slightly admiring look, and said:
"Professor Amrin, your advice is very, very valuable, and exactly what we need at the moment."
"However, we have limited strength now, and we can't do it overnight, we can only do it step by step."
"You can go back and get a good rest for a few days and then join the work."
Amlin shook his head with some silence and said:
"No rest, Mr. Custer, I want to work right away."
"When I was waiting to die in the basement, I thought a lot, I had to rest for too long, and now is an extraordinary time, and I need to work harder to contribute to humanity."
Leon looked at the university professor in silence and said:
"Okay, Professor Amrin, in the afternoon, I will ask Amy to arrange your work place, you can ask her for any needs, you have to pay attention to your body, a worthy good person, deserves a better life."
