Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 123 Level Control Equipment
After leaving Wuxue Town, Chen Jian's team quickly returned to Huangshi City.

When they arrived, Wang Lizi, the representative of the Ring Merchants, was already waiting in the city.

I have to say, their response was quick.

Perhaps this is why they can be called the strongest intelligence dealers in the wasteland.

Without too much nonsense, Chen Jian provided them with information about the monsters in Huadu and Wuxue Town as agreed, but deliberately concealed the key information of "using drugs to control monsters" and "the specific ingredients of the drugs".

He originally thought that the other party would be very interested in this and wanted to sell these two key pieces of information for a good price.

But when we talked about it, hey, they didn't care at all.

Chen Jian didn't know whether they couldn't understand the importance of these two pieces of information or they simply didn't need such detailed information.

In short, after the final discussion, they only increased the number of level 1 control technology and level control equipment from to based on their original psychological expectations.

But Chen Jian doesn't need their so-called skills.

Half of the national map is stored in 7025's terminal. If the situation had not been completely stable, he would have mobilized the residents of Yellowstone City to start climbing the technology tree.

Therefore, he decisively converted all his "technology" into equipment.

In other words, he can choose a total of 4 types of equipment from the Ring Merchant's inventory.

After making this decision, a hint of regret flashed in Wang Lizi's eyes.

He probably thought that Chen Jian's decision was too short-sighted.

However, considering the current situation in Yellowstone City, he could understand it.

So, he showed the list to Chen Jian as promised and allowed Chen Jian to choose equipment from the list.

As a result, after seeing the thin piece of paper in Wang Lizi's hand, Chen Jian was stunned.

"That's it?"

He thought that the other party had a huge inventory. Even if it could not be compared with the more than 7025 major disaster recovery warehouses in the country, it should at least reach the level of , right?

But in fact, there are less than 50 pieces of equipment on this page, not even a hair's breadth of 7025.

Facing his question, Wang Lizi answered frankly:
"This is just part of the Level 3 control equipment, and it's something we can hand over to you right away."

"Of course we can't reveal all the lists to you at once, because the information itself is valuable."

"But you can rest assured that this list is the result of our careful screening. I guarantee that most of the things in it can be used by you."

“It’s just that you need to make some trade-offs.”

“I suggest you give priority.”

"I'll see for myself."

Chen Jian interrupted Wang Lizi and then looked down at the list in his hand.

Although the list is not long, the items listed are quite fragmented. They include not only weapons such as guns and rocket launchers, but also production tools such as simple generators and steam engines, as well as a small amount of materials, including metals and fuel.

Chen Jian looked at them one by one, frowned slightly and said:

"Not bad, there are automatic weapons - but these weapons are not listed by model, so how can I choose?"

"The model doesn't matter, you can tell them apart by the bullet."

Wang Lizi answered lightly.

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
"The difference between models is huge. For example, this one is both 7.62 caliber and has a 30-round magazine, but can the 191 and Type be the same?"

"For the next transaction, you'd better take us directly to the warehouse where you store the goods to pick them out."

"These things should be all the goods you brought with you on this business trip. You must have stored them in a warehouse in Jiujiang or Wuxue, right?"

"Yes, the stuff is in Jiujiang. If you think it's more convenient, we can ship it directly to Huangshi City next time."

Wang Lizi agreed quite readily. Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction and continued to look at the list in his hand.

After a quick look and eliminating most of the weapons that were not needed for the time being and the equipment already in the 7025 fortification, Chen Jian began to focus on those "unknown equipment" that had no names but listed their functions.

"It's a water purification tool, but it has a short lifespan - probably because the activated carbon in the filter has worn out, and the thing is completely useless."

"Portable lighting equipment probably refers to flashlights, which are pretty useless and can't be used for the time being."

"Protective suits to block poison gas? Not very useful."

“These things may be useful to other people, but they are not useful to us at the moment.”

"Can you let us choose next time? We'll put forward our requirements first, and you can provide them based on our goods."

"This way, you don't have to bring things that are unlikely to sell, which is good for both of us."

"can."

Wang Lizi nodded again and said:

"I admit that our preparations were indeed hasty this time."

"The reason is simple. The caravan had already set out from Guangzhou and Shenzhen before we were sure to reach a cooperation agreement with you."

"But the goods we provide are definitely not worthless. If you are not interested in other goods, you can convert all your rewards into bullets."

"This shipment contains more than 7.62 rounds of mm ammunition, consistent with the weapons you are using."

"Okay."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jian answered:

"Then exchange them all for bullets."

"At least we can still use it."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then added as if he remembered something:

"Oh, give us this too."

"This batch of metal pipes? How many are there in total?"

Wang Lizi looked at the item Chen Jian pointed to, thought for a moment and replied:

"There are dozens of them in different sizes, and they are very heavy."

"This batch of metal pipes was originally to be shipped to Jinling. It was an order from the Mechanicus. They would melt them and reuse them to cast cannons."

"We can also delay their orders if you need." "Then give it to us."

Chen Jian said decisively:

"Although it won't do us much good, I don't want to give them anything that the Mechanicus wants."

"can."

A smile appeared on Wang Lizi's face. He shook his head slightly and then said:

"It seems that you are really very fussy about certain aspects."

"Then our deal is done - about 12,000 rounds of ammunition, all left to you."

"Plus these metal pipes."

"No problem, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Chen Jian stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Lizi, who promised to deliver everything within two days, then turned around and led his men away from Huangshi.

After he left, Lei Jie walked over to Chen Jian and said faintly:

"I thought you didn't see it."

Chen Jian laughed and replied:
"How could I not have seen it? It's just that I couldn't show it so obviously."

"Look, if you put what you really want at the end and tell them what you really want, they won't bargain."

"Anyway, we have got this batch of pipes."

"If it's just an ordinary steel pipe, it's worth using it as material."

"But if there are thick-walled seamless steel pipes in it, then we will make a lot of money."

"For a long time in the future, we will not be able to process seamless steel pipes. With this batch of goods, we may be able to manufacture the 105mm cannon ourselves using the mother machine."

"Although the caliber is not large, the range of 10 kilometers is enough to defeat all forces in this wasteland."

"So what other materials do we need?"

"It's mostly shell material."

Lei Jie hooked his fingers and counted them one by one:

"Fulminate mercury for the primer, nitrocellulose-based propellant, CL-20 charge, and spring for the fuze. In fact, the fuze problem is not difficult to solve. At worst, we can use the Russian Ka-2 or Lu-3 fuze instead of a complicated one."

"These two types of fuses are not complicated to manufacture, and I can make them myself. The only problem is that it is difficult for me to achieve standardized production by myself, and I cannot mass-produce them in the short term."

"You don't think the 105mm cannon can be mass-produced in the short term, do you?"

Chen Jian said with a smile:
"Let alone the 105mm cannon, we can't even mass-produce bullets. Otherwise, why would I need to change bullets? This is urgent."

"Making our own weapons is only a long-term goal. We haven't even laid a solid foundation for industrialization yet, so how can we talk about making our own weapons?"

"The most urgent task is to build the electricity and power system in Yellowstone City as soon as possible."

"Whether it is food production, infrastructure, or industrial manufacturing in the future, they all need to be based on these two systems."

"Anyway, we're about to leave for Jinling."

"During this trip, we took all the gold bars with us and tried to buy everything we could."

"If it's something that can't be bought, we have to find it somehow!"

"clear."

Lei Jie nodded and said:

"The basic training for the city's combatants has already begun. I have also taught Huang Yu how to use computers and monitors. For subsequent training, let them learn by following the video."

"Our round trip won't take too long. After we come back, we'll make targeted corrections to their training."

"Okay. Have you arranged your work plan?"

"arranged."

Shen Yue on the side interrupted and replied:
"Winter is about to arrive, and food production will basically stop. As you said before, the residents of Yellowstone will focus on reconstruction work in the next few months."

"So our plan basically involves storing firewood, fishing, building houses, and constructing water and sanitation facilities."

"The relevant information is already below. It's all very detailed text. Just follow what's above. There won't be any major problems."

"When we come back, this town should have taken shape."

"Our subsequent 'industry upgrading' work can also be carried out."

"no problem."

Chen Jian let out a long sigh and nodded slightly.

Nearly a week had passed since the siege, and Yellowstone City was finally getting back on track.

This is a good sign.

After all, no matter what, it is impossible for the four members of their team to put too much energy on the so-called "farming" and "management". If they do so, it will definitely be a loss for the entire force.

Therefore, the subjective initiative of the residents of Yellowstone City is very important.

They must be able to run the city on their own, and what the four members of the team have to do is to provide them with direction, technology and resource support on key issues.

And now it seems that they are doing a good job.

Chen Jian walked out of the activity hall and looked at the Yellowstone City in the sun, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

It is so full of vitality and everything is flourishing!
The advantage is mine!

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed two dark shadows appearing on the other side of the lake.

are people.

And he is not from the Circle Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Jian frowned slightly, raised the telescope to look, and then he was shocked to find that it was a man and a woman.

The man had been tied up.

In the woman's hand
Holding a white flag.
