Wow!The explosion rate is really high

Chapter 385 Trading and Expedition

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 refugees, but also an "oasis" that Kielder was born in, which is freer than the city.

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

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

And such organizations are often inextricably linked with existing cities.

The need for steel is not difficult to understand.

But the steel is coming to the head of their black street...

The steel that I took out is still piled up in the warehouse without exposure, and there are not many facilities that use a large amount of steel in the black street. How could the other party throw the order to such an inconspicuous force?
"The benefits of the order are very generous. If it can be completed, everyone's life will be much better...and we will also have money."

Kild stared at Baie closely.

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

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

In his current position, this is all he can focus on.

"..." Bai E pondered for a moment, then asked softly: "Is it a one-time deal? Or is it long-term?"

"If possible, the other party hopes for a long-term, unlimited purchase, and the purchase price will rise in stages according to the monthly shipments."

Then you can't use the drops from your own inventory.

If it's just a one-shot deal, it is undoubtedly a bonus to exchange temporarily unavailable resources for a batch of resources that can actually improve the living standards of the underworld.

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

Need to build your own steel production line?
The black street is not good either... The collection, refining, and even iron and steel smelting of ore require a super-large-scale site, which will also cause quite a lot of commotion.

To do this around the city, either has the background of Tongtian, or is the institution of the city itself.

So then again, why does the other party believe that Black Street can provide steel?
"My lord?" Gilder asked tentatively.

"Provide them with a batch first." Baie narrowed his eyes and made a decision.

It's a mule or a horse that comes out to yo.

It may not be a development direction to trade a batch first to see what the other party's composition is, so as to catch up with possible strong external forces.

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

Perhaps after controlling Heishui City, the acquisition of these things can be done naturally, but is Heishui City able to be controlled by oneself because he wants to obtain those resources?

No!It is because I have that strength and those accumulations that Blackwater City can be controlled by myself.

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

"Yes! Your Excellency!" Kielder looked excited.

Really!

As expected of an adult!
["Lucky Strike" charge +5. 】

……

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

"Really?"

The doctor who found an opportunity to sneak out of the black street narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard his subordinate's report.

'Sure enough, this gathering place is not as simple as it appears on the surface. '

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

The black street is just a disguise for the other party, and the main body of their power is still elsewhere!
That's how it should be!
An existence that can abduct Number One shouldn't be so shallow.

"For the first transaction, give them a little sweetness." The doctor made a decision.

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

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 handle on the surface.

The name he is using now is a wild warlord he supports in Gray Iron City.

"Yes!" The expressionless adjutant replied instantly like a cold and heartless machine.

Glancing at the doctor's sharp side face, the adjutant dared not say much.

Facing an unknown force rooted in Heishui City, he didn't think it would take such a big effort.

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

With the power of the same level as the city, it is enough to directly crush the past. How can it take such a lot of trouble to find a "first number"?

The only thing that can be explained...maybe lies in the doctor's special feelings for "Number One".

This is the choice of Dr.

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

……

"The transaction went well, and the other party doesn't seem to have any special ideas." When he saw Baie again on the third day, Kielder replied with some excitement.

Steel is the most core resource in this world, and the price offered by the other party is very considerable. With this batch of money, they are enough to purchase a lot of equipment and resources needed to develop the black street.

"Hmm..." Bai E nodded lightly.

The location of the warehouse was not revealed, he just piled up the steel around the Black Forest, and then let someone from Black Street transport it back.

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

I have resources, but I need to monetize them. It is not easy to find a stable and trustworthy monetization channel.

The other party needs resources, and such resources belong to the core reserve, which is a matter of mutual benefit.

"Their follow-up orders..."

"We can give them some more later, but in the future... we have to wait for news."

Even if there are so many in hand, they cannot be delivered continuously.

The first transaction paid 2000 pieces of steel, and the last time I dropped a total of 8000 pieces.

You can provide 2000 more copies next time if it's a little later, and then you have to consider setting up a steel production plant. You have to keep the remaining 4000 copies for emergencies.

Need to develop power, there are many more aspects to consider than when you are alone.

"Understood! My lord!"

"There is another thing I want to tell you. I may not come here for the next few days or even longer. The matter of the black street...you can handle it yourself."

According to the instructor, they will need to carry out the sortie mission tomorrow.

This was their first active attack on the Zerg since they became regular pilots. The result of the battle would directly determine the gold content of these new pilots in the eyes of the military chiefs and their own personal plans.

If he can perform well in battle as the instructor said, maybe he can ask to continue to fulfill his special team obligations, so as to follow Minister Eric's itinerary, and go to contact with him who may be left by the electronic demon. down the "legacy".

Moreover, owning the highest authority of the server host group should have more opportunities than anyone else.

"I know, my lord."

……

The morning sun shines gently on the earth.

The warm winter sun bloomed with a soft but not glaring brilliance, and the joint troops coordinated by Bu Tan began to slowly move out of the barracks.

"Om~Om~"

The tall mecha fell at the end of the troop, striding far to keep up.

From the high-altitude perspective of the mecha, even the main battle tanks are as cute as bigger toys.

It was also the first time for Baier to truly understand all the configurations needed for the mecha organization to go out on an expedition - not only the mecha itself, but also a kind of organization called "machine servants" driving some kind of armored vehicles with almost no attack capabilities. follow behind.

These mecha servitors, in theory, also belong to the mecha battalion. They are often manned by artificial people and natural persons with no background and ability. They often also need to learn some knowledge about mecha maintenance, so that they can be used to deal with small units on the battlefield. Quickly repair the broken body to maintain the combat effectiveness of the mecha.

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

Although the mech is huge in size, its real loading space is limited. If it is not replenished in time, it will soon lose its thermal weapon output and can only use the original sword to fight.

Behind each combat mecha, there are at least five armored vehicles following it.

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

The voice of the Shangguan sitting in the command vehicle came from the cockpit speakers of each mech, "Although this attack is mainly to hone your skills, our joint forces also have strategic goals that must be achieved. —A few days ago, our scouts spotted their expansion in the west of the hive."

Insects are some kind of invasive species from extraterrestrials, and their way of invasion is not just pure physical devouring.

Accompanied by the spore colonies spread by some of their smaller worker insect variants, the biochemical transformation of the entire natural environment is the more basic form of their invasion of a planet.

The city's defense against the insect nest is not only to prevent them from invading the city in various forms, but also to prevent them from expanding their influence in nature to obtain more biomass and increase their strength.

"The types of bugs that have been monitored include common cannon bugs, worker bugs, bee bugs and a few praying mantis bugs. In addition, there are visible traces of sandworm activity. The mysterious 'master' can't determine the track, and their sneaking underground It is also difficult for us to accurately detect, so we cannot be sure how many enemies we will eventually have to face. The expansion intention of the Zerg this time is obvious, and the protection force dispatched is only a lot. The battle situation we need to face may be quite difficult. You are the last pillar of this joint force, I hope you can perform as good as your instructor said. Captain Bai, do you have any questions?"
