My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 947: Times change, “useless” technology!

  Chapter 950 Times change, "useless" technology!

  No one expected that this kind of thing would happen when the Starscream Caravan received the biggest order since its establishment.

  The three of them felt a little heavy, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

  Each industrial core is a treasure of human wisdom integrated in the pre-war era.

  Its function is somewhat similar to that of a modular device. After the level of industrial manufacturing reaches a certain level, tasks that should have been completed by several devices are concentrated on one machine.

  The operation method is also simple. According to the core requirements, input materials in a fool-like manner, connect to the energy source, and wait for a while to take out the finished product.

  However, the difference is that the modular device is more advanced. Even if some modules are damaged, the functions of other modules will not be affected, and tasks can still be performed. And once there is a problem inside the industrial core, even if a small part is damaged, it will cause the entire process to stop and it can no longer be used.

  Of course, compared to the fact that a damaged module cannot be repaired or even disassembled, the industrial core has considered subsequent maintenance issues from the very beginning, and has set up an excellent self-inspection system.

  When internal damage occurs, the self-inspection program will not only mark the specific location, but also give the corresponding different maintenance methods for the user's reference.

   Therefore, the industrial core is also divided into several standard levels in Blue Star.

  Not much to say if it is complete.

  The damage degree below 30% is called semi-abandoned state, which has a very high maintenance value.

  If the damage degree is higher than 50%, it is called a completely abandoned state, and the difficulty of maintenance can be called rebuilding one.

  The Red Spider caravan traveled with a large sum of money this time, and before departure, they specially purchased two Star Spider chariots and installed combination modules to strengthen their transportation and defense capabilities. The semi-abandoned industrial core that had been there for two years.

  In the past two years, they have collected the purchase channels for replacement parts in advance, and they have also purchased a piece of land around the foundation.

  Just go back to the Foundation headquarters, purchase parts and repair the industrial core.

  The Red Spider caravan can gradually transform from a wandering land caravan to a semi-industrial caravan, relying on the core products to obtain a steady stream of income.

   But now, the dream seems to be shattered.

   Coming to this strange world, it is still unknown how much of the previously negotiated channels can be retained.

  But what is certain is that this semi-abandoned industrial core will definitely become a hot potato right now.

  Sell it out?

  According to the foundation's acquisition standards, at least two-thirds of the blood loss will be invested, which is equivalent to the caravan's work for nothing in the past few years.

  Don’t take it out and sell it?

  It cannot be repaired in your hand, and you have to bear the risk of being watched in vain.

  Ye Yu is concerned.

  Sometimes silence is the best language.

  Sean took out his hand from under the table, lightly placed it on the car window, and moved down following the trajectory of the raindrops.

  Crack.

  Crack.

  The wind is blowing and the raindrops are beating randomly.

  Just like his mood, it is also unstable like this raindrop.

  For a long while, Xiao En didn't know what he had figured out, and his wandering eyes suddenly became firm.

  He turned his head to look at Luke and Joseph who were still outside the fugue, and said firmly:

  "The industrial core cannot be sold for the time being. This is our re-emerging capital, no matter whether it can be repaired or not."

  "In addition, even if the channels collected before are gone now, we can continue to collect, at most it will take some time."

   "But... if we want to collect parts, isn't that the same as telling others that we have a core?" Joseph said with a slightly hesitant expression, and couldn't help but glanced at the patrol team passing by not far from the car window.

  It's already two o'clock in the middle of the night.

  Compared to the lazy guards of the caravan, they all retracted into the car to rest when it rained.

  The soldiers in this strange refuge are simply dedicated perverts, and they are still meticulously patrolling the border.

  If the weapons in their hands were not too backward, the gap between the two sides would be huge.

  Joseph asked himself, he absolutely couldn't maintain his current attitude towards strangers wandering around the caravan.

  "Don't worry, didn't we always do this when we inquired about channels?"

  "Besides, compared with other caravans this time, we are not unlucky."

  "At least before we set off, we upgraded all our weapons and prepared enough armaments and logistics for several tough battles."

  Sean's tone was mixed with comfort, but his attitude was still firm.

  "We can go to a gathering place like Tianyuan Refuge and ask them to help find them. They don't know the industrial core, and they don't know the purpose of our search for repair parts."

  “Go to a few more places, there will always be gains.”

  "I hope."

   Seeing that Sean had said so, Joseph stopped expressing contradictory opinions and made a gesture of support.

   Luke, who was injured, has no other opinions. Besides, he has been able to survive until now with a gunshot wound, and his scalp is already numb from sleepiness.

  The three of them hastily agreed on the deployment situation for the next few days, and then returned to their respective bedrooms to sleep deeply.

  The following day.

  After a rainy night, a rare sunny day.

  Of course, there is a Myriad Illusory Fog that spreads across the entire New World, and the presence of the sun just makes the temperature rise a bit.

   Physically, it is still sticky.

  The efficiency of the Starscream Caravan was very high, and soon someone sent a list full of items that could be traded.

  The person in charge of negotiating with the refuge is Walter, the procurement manager of the Red Spider Caravan.

  He is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall.

  But the figure is close to one hundred and eighty kilograms, and it looks like a round ball when walking on the road.

  "Dear Tianyuan manager, this is all the goods that our caravan can currently sell."

  "Don't worry about the price, you won't be able to find anything cheaper than ours in the entire wasteland."

  Walter smiled modestly, and took out an A4-sized album from his purse.

  "There are so many?"

  Su Mo took it in surprise, and found that there were more than twenty pages in the booklet that recorded the items, and his eyes stared straight away.

  Open and read.

  Each product on the album has a basic text introduction and illustrations.

  Probably the other party discovered that the weapons in Tianyuan Territory are very "old", and also confirmed that the surrounding environment has changed, and weapons and equipment will be the next hot item.

  The first few pages of the album are full of ammunition!

  From the most basic pistols, submachine guns, rifles, to enhanced machine guns, sniper rifles, and grenade guns.

  From shoulder-resistant Rpgs to anti-aircraft artillery that can be installed on the ground.

  Under the words Rare, Su Mo even saw an electromagnetic rifle shining with silver light!

  Although the price is not cheap.

  The string of "9" numbers is obviously released by this group of people to make him greedy.

  But the Red Spider caravan is like a walking arsenal. Even when the Tianyuan Territory had the largest ammunition reserves before, it was not more than one-tenth of the amount that could be traded in this atlas.

  But

  "Only weapons, no ammunition?"

  "Yes, we can sell a batch of weapons to your shelter, but ammunition is currently in short supply, and you need to solve it yourself."

  Walter stubbornly explained:

  "Because we are still not sure how long it will take to return to the Foundation headquarters, so in order to prevent possible risks on the way back, we have to prepare more ammunition, please understand"

  "But as long as we can go back successfully, don't worry, we will definitely bring sufficient ammunition next time."

  Good guy.

  The pancake is so well drawn.

  If there is ammunition to buy, Sumo would like to exchange all the materials that can be traded in the territory now, and then let the madman weapon factory run at full capacity to arm the militia in the territory as much as possible.

   but no ammo.

  Aren’t these guns the same as fire sticks when you buy them?

   Wanting Tianyuan Territory to exchange the existing resources for some useless things, does the Red Spider Caravan think his head is stupid?

  Skipping these "useless" things, Su Mo continued to look back patiently.

  Enter the daily necessities food category.

  Maybe the automatic reaction furnace on the Starscream Chariot can be manufactured locally, and the prices of daily necessities on the list can be called a bargain based on the daily income of the laborers.

  There are not many commodities that can be exchanged for the purchasing power of a mere 1 commodity certificate.

  Can be exchanged for a set of jacket and pants made of polyester fiber, or a dozen of band-aids in packs of ten.

  You can buy some basic condiments, such as salt, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, chicken essence, etc.

  You can also buy some delicate small items, such as screwdrivers, facial swabs, thermos cups, sewing boxes, sockets and so on.

   Now comes the item of food.

  Seeing several best-selling products highlighted on the first page, Su Mo couldn't help being taken aback.

  "Wait, do you have the technology to synthesize starch, protein, and glucose?"

   on the list.

  A commercial coupon can actually buy a full 600g of starch, which is equivalent to about 800g based on the composition of rice.

  The item of protein is even more outrageous, one coupon can buy 300g?

  What is this concept?

  The protein content of chicken is only about 20%, and 100g can extract 20g of protein.

  According to the salary of two business coupons per person per day, the protein that can be bought is equivalent to extracting 3kg of chicken.

  With this price, if it were extracted directly from meat, the Red Spider Caravan might lose money.

  "Yes, we have a complete set of industrial preparation technology. As long as enough raw materials can be collected and the energy supply is sufficient, basically there is no need to worry about food and drink."

  "If you buy these basic ingredients in large quantities, we can also offer discounts on the basis of your purchase."

  Walter explained softly.

  Using carbon dioxide hydrogenation to synthesize starch and carbon monoxide to synthesize protein, it is not uncommon for these technologies to be synthesized through several steps of chemical reactions without using biological systems and only using chemical catalysts.

  As early as the pre-war era of Blue Star, it has been praised in many places, replacing the old farming and animal husbandry.

  For example, the gopher shelters in Qinggang City are equipped with similar production machines. Even after more than two hundred years, they can still guarantee the stable consumption of internal residents.

  Of course, there is a premise that is very important.

   Must have enough energy!

  Hydrogen gas in the synthesis of starch is a very high-energy substance, and it takes a lot of energy to extract hydrogen gas from water.

  If there is not enough cheap and easy-to-use energy, even if you master this technology, it will be difficult to use it.

  For the same reason, the energy of carbon monoxide is much higher than that of carbon dioxide, and the preparation of carbon monoxide also consumes a lot of energy.

   Moreover, its synthesis method is not purely chemical, but uses biological strains, that is, fermentation. In this process, a sufficiently stable environment is required to ensure the growth of the strains, and the energy consumption is huge.

  However, for the Foundation, which has initially mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, energy can be said to be inexhaustible.

  The chariot of the Red Spider Caravan is equipped with a basic entry-level nuclear generator, which contains a 40g helium tri-fuel rod.

  Even if it is limited by the degree of fusion, this thing can output a terrifying electricity of nearly 100,000 kilowatt-hours after it reacts.

  It is a bit too much to say that the manufacturing is open, but at least it is true that there is no need to worry about food and drink.

  “If you need more than these basic ingredients, but the technology to prepare it, we also sell it.”

  "Of course, we don't have any extra production equipment for sale."

  "If you can return to the foundation headquarters and you need it again, we can bring it over for the next transaction."

  Walter's attitude is very enthusiastic, like those door-to-door salesmen in the civilized age.

  In fact, technology is indeed the least valuable thing in Blue Star.

  In times of peace and prosperity, knowledge is a valuable means of production, and knowledge can be exchanged for countless money if mastered.

  But in the wasteland of the last days, for ordinary people, this thing is not as important as a piece of paper to wipe their butt.

  Like jewelry made of gold, what is valuable is not the shape, pattern, or design, but the gold itself.

  Education is a pastime and luxury enjoyed by only a few, even in the gopher's sanctuary.

  For those who don't even have basic theoretical knowledge, even if they are given a detailed explanation of nuclear fusion, so what.

  Could it be that these people can really use the pickaxes, axes, and hands in their hands to rub them out?

  Don't be funny.

  Technical barriers are the naked behavior of the weak, and they are a means of self-protection for fearing that the other party will threaten them.

  The powerful foundation does not restrict the outflow of technology from the very beginning, as long as it is a mature technology, it allows caravans to bring it to the outside world for sale.

  They only need to sell the corresponding devices to harvest a lot of labor and make a lot of money.

  As he said.

  Sumo continued to scroll down, and finally saw these "techniques" listed by category.

  Red Spider Caravan thoughtfully translated the name of the mouth-twister technology, which looks very intuitive~IndoMTL.com~In addition to the three major synthesis technologies of starch, monosaccharide and protein, there are many names that are refreshing when you hear the name high tech.

  "Pipeline Capsule Transportation System", "Holographic Projection Assist", "Brain Enhancement Kit", "Individual Anti-Gravity Flight", "Cold Nuclear Fusion Energy Technology".

  From front to back, dozens of novel technologies with text descriptions seem to be knocking on the door of a new world.

   Paused for a moment, Su Mo suppressed the urge to exchange it.

  It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

  No matter how mature the technology is for the Foundation, it is still a mountain with no top in sight for the Tianyuan Territory, which is still in the Bronze Age.

  It's like cold nuclear fusion. Even if you know the principle, there are still thousands of problems waiting to be created to produce the corresponding device.

  Instead of exchanging these things now, it is better to exchange for something real.

  For example.

  "Hey, is the exoskeleton armor also for sale?"

  "Why does this look familiar?"
