Chapter 246 The caravan from afar
Opposite them.
A huge fleet of vehicles led by a huge eight-wheeled off-road vehicle that is temporarily unseen is slowly slowing down and approaching them.
That off-road vehicle is really huge.
The wheels alone are almost one person taller.
A car almost fills up both lanes of the road.
The heavy and angular body has a strong sci-fi color.
It was like a huge steel beast slowly approaching in the wind and snow.
What''s even more terrifying is.
There is also a turret on its roof.
The dark muzzle was wide enough to reach into two fists at the same time.
It is really unimaginable what kind of earth-shaking scene it will bring when it roars.
Liang Liyang felt fear in his heart when he saw it.
Subconsciously I wanted to retreat.
But at this time.
A new command was refreshed on the screen in front of him.
He wanted to represent Jianghe City and go up to negotiate with the convoy.
"Why me?"
Liang Liyang was a little in tears.
But I didn''t have the courage to refuse.
I could only bite the bullet and walk to the front. He followed the prompts given by artificial intelligence and read the lines without expression.
“This is the boundary of Jianghe City.”
"Please park first to register the origin."
The words fell.
The off-road vehicle opposite did not respond.
He still led the convoy and slowly approached Liang Liyang.
Just when Liang Liyang suspected that the other party had not heard it, he secretly began to accumulate strength and planned to avoid it before being hit.
The off-road vehicle stopped completely one meter away from him.
Then.
A young man, who was about twenty-seven or eight years old in a silver-gray suit, opened the car door and walked down the ladder that automatically popped up.
"You''re the head here?"
The young man glanced around casually.
He didn''t care about deploying weapons in the air and pointing at his dozen drones.
He just turned his eyes to Liang Liyang who was coming out.
"I''m not the leader."
"But it can represent Jianghe City."
Liang Liyang was completely calm at this time.
It was just a dozen seconds after the young man got off the car.
A complete negotiating team was formed in an underground shelter.
Real-time connection with Liang Liyang.
The young man now seems to be talking alone with Liang Liyang, but in fact he is facing a lot of people.
"It''s fine."
The young man speaks politely, but he always gives people a feeling of being arrogant.
"We are a caravan from Changming City."
"I hope to reach some deals with you."
After more than ten minutes.
This huge fleet from Changming City.
He began to slowly drive into an empty square among the ruins of the city.
Set up camp on the spot.
In the center of the fleet, it was as wide as an off-road vehicle as a land warship.
The young man who had just stepped forward to negotiate with Liang Liyang looked for the real manager of the caravan with confusion.
"Supervisor You, there is nothing special here."
"Why do you have to come here specifically?"
"Do you really think this place is very ordinary?"
You Zhixuan, sitting in front of the desk in the car, slowly raised his head. Looking at the young man named Gu Zeyu next to him, who came from a powerful family in Changming City.
There is a hint of school entrance examination in his eyes.
"this?"
Gu Zeyu frowned and began to carefully sort out the details he saw after entering the city.
The result really made him discover something abnormal.
“The city here is completely destroyed.”
“But it seems that there are much less ruins.”
"It seems that I have put a lot of effort into cleaning up."
"What are they doing to clean up the ruins? Are they still planning to rebuild the city on the ground?"
"What they think is hard to say."
"But I know."
“Their mechanization scale is very large.”
You Zhixuan nodded slightly, which was a commendation of Gu Zeyu''s observation ability.
He opened a map that had just been drawn and marked with a large amount of data.
Motion to Gu Zeyu to come and check it out.
"The fleet''s drone just now has completed the preliminary scan of the here."
"In total, about 140,000 workers wearing exoskeleton armor, 70,000 spider-shaped robots, and more than 20,000 vehicles of various types were found."
“Continue to clean up garbage on the surface of this city.”
“And they are extremely efficient in action.”
"There are high probability that supercomputers and artificial intelligence are responsible for the planning."
Gu Zeyu listened to the supervisor''s detailed explanation one by one.
His face changed slightly.
Exoskeleton armor is not a bad thing.
Generally, a city with more than one million people.
The total number of exoskeleton armor equipped by the local security forces will not exceed 3,000 sets.
More than 100,000 sets of exoskeleton armor.
It is even enough to arm two regular armies.
And the robot is even more exaggerated.
He also saw the kind of spider-type robot working among the ruins on the road.
If ordinary people wear exoskeleton armor, they may not be able to exert their combat effectiveness.
Then the robot has no such doubt.
As long as it can still be active.
That means it must have combat power comparable to its size.
In case of conflict.
Seventy thousand spider robots.
Even if it is entirely due to the number of hard piles, they can completely keep their caravan.
"This type of robot has never appeared on the market before."
"If it''s the people here who develop it themselves and make it themselves."
"That''s really a bit amazing."
After facing the strength of Jianghe City.
Gu Zeyu soon discovered the truly terrifying place in Jianghe City.
Not those amazing amounts of mechanized equipment on the surface.
Instead, they can produce their terrible industrial strength.
"That''s right."
"The above is to suspect that Jianghe City may have a complete industrial production system."
"So let''s come and have a look."
You Zhixuan revealed the secret mission that only he knew before departure.
"If that''s true."
"Are we going to occupy this place-"
Gu Zeyu had a hint of desire in his eyes when he heard this.
Anyone who is a young man has fantasized about killing all directions on the battlefield.
"What do you think?"
“If their publicity is true.”
"The population here has reached tens of millions now, so it is not that easy to capture."
You Zhixuan poured a basin of cold water on him in anger.
He gave a serious attitude.
"We''re here to make friends this time."
"If they really have the strength, the superiors hope they can become our allies."
"Or at least, it is also a close-knit trading partner."
At the same time.
Farmhouse courtyard, control center on the first floor of the underground.
Su Wu also received news of a foreign caravan visiting him.
And their secretly scouting behavior in the city.
It was impossible to hide it from Su Wu.
The reconnaissance network spread throughout Jianghe City by Suwu.
Give it clear and clear.
"This caravan."
“Technology looks very advanced everywhere.”
Replayed again.
Video recorded when the entire caravan entered the city. Su Wu vaguely felt the strong strength behind the other party.
I pondered for a moment.
He plans to have a conversation with the other person in person.
But before that.
A little preparation is needed.
A few days ago, because I was in a hurry, I put it aside for the time being, and there was no reinstalled main battle spider robot produced.
At this time, it is time to start production and produce a batch.
Only the suppression array with these heavy weapons.
Only Su Wu has the confidence to contact the opponent.
And ensure that after the contact fails, the other party can be eliminated at the lowest cost as soon as possible.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
November 15th.
The day after the caravan arrived.
In the reception hall of Jingyuan Sanctuary.
Through holographic projection, Su Wu met the head of the caravan from the capital city of Changming Province, Changming City.
"I''m very happy to meet His Excellency Su Wu."
"I am You Zhixuan, the head of Changming Caravan."
Really meet Su Wu.
Whether it is You Zhixuan or the superior birth, it seems that everyone is used to being condescending with Gu Zeyu.
They all acted quite modestly.
This is due to the most basic respect for a supreme ruler who ruled tens of millions of people.
Don’t look at most refugees in the end of the world, you are afraid of refugees.
But that''s mainly because they can''t afford it.
If you have a little more resources in your hands, no one will refuse to raise more people.
Because the basis of rights comes from a sufficient population.
"Changming City is more than 800 kilometers away."
"How did you think of it?"
Compared with You Zhixuan and the others'' formality.
Su Wu seemed much more casual.
I asked directly about the question I care about most.
"Your Jianghe City TV station has covered tens of millions of viewers."
"We have heard of it far away in Changming City."
“Plus, it just takes a lot of electronic equipment.”
"So I plan to come and have a look."
You Zhixuan carefully used the words.
"So that''s the case."
"Then what exchange do you plan to exchange?"
Su Wu did not agree with You Zhixuan''s answer.
But as far as the transaction itself is concerned, he is still quite interested.
“It depends on what you need.”
"This is a list of products we can provide, please check it out."
You Zhixuan passed the product catalog that had been prepared to Su Wu through a tablet computer.
Su Wu opened to check it out.
I found that the two things on the top of the catalog are gold and silver.
Even in the brackets next to it, the exchange ratio between gold and silver is 10:1.
It is consistent with Su Wu''s public exchange ratio.
Obviously, they have investigated this in advance.
Underneath gold and silver.
There are also various other precious metals and rare materials.
Pure water filters, and services that provide purified water quality by ton.
A series of military weapons and equipment including electromagnetic guns, drones, robot dogs, and exoskeleton armor.
Special drugs for the treatment of various chronic diseases and special diseases, common antibiotics, high-quality compressed food, etc.
These things also have price tags based on gold as the currency unit behind them.
And the prices are not cheap.
“A very complete catalogue.”
Su Wu admired it a little.
Except for precious metals that are similar to money.
Other commodities are basically the supplies most likely to be needed by a shelter.
Even if the caravan could arrive a little earlier.
Su Wu was also willing to spend a huge price to buy them that series of military equipment.
But it''s a pity.
They came too late.
Su Wu, who has developed now.
In addition to gold and silver.
For other products, not only is there no demand. Even in turn, he can offer the same goods for sale if necessary.
Scan the sale list.
Behind is their purchase list.
Mobile phones, solid-state batteries, mid-to-high-end chips, electronic screens, etc.
Su Wu is not very interested in selling precision accessories such as chips.
The production requirements for those things are too high and can basically be made by manufacturing centers. It also consumes a lot of rare resources.
If you sell it directly, it is equivalent to working purely on a cool job.
When it comes to selling finished mobile phone products, you can consider it.
There should be a lot of profits in it.
After browsing the list, Su Wu made a general decision in his mind.
He looked up at You Zhixuan.
“Mobile phones can be sold.”
"But you can only exchange it with gold and silver, as well as some special medicines."
"Don''t you think about other things anymore?"
You Zhixuan listened to Su Wu''s words.
His expression suddenly became a little disappointed.
The difference between this and his previous expectations was really big.
Su Wu will not sell any other products you want to purchase except mobile phones.
Among so many things for sale.
Su Wu only chose three.
Among them, gold and silver are not easy to sell in the end of the world.
But it is still a base currency and basic material that can act as an equivalent.
Using them is equivalent to spending real money.
The profit cannot be said to be lacking, but it is not much higher.
As for special medicines.
For some small shelters that happen to be in urgent need, it may be sold at a sky-high price.
But for a super-large force like Su Wu.
Its value is actually not much different from ordinary drugs.
There is no special room for negotiation.
This way.
The profit margin of this transaction is obviously impossible to be much higher.
I guess I can only make some hard money by relying on large-scale procurement.
"no need."
"That''s all."
Su Wu waved his hand and took the initiative to end the meeting.
The remaining specific transactions.
There will be professional business elites under him to discuss with You Zhixuan.
There is no need for Su Wu to come forward in person.
Looking at the sudden closing of the holographic projection.
You Zhixuan sighed helplessly.
He stood up and said to Gu Zeyu who was specially brought over to gain knowledge.
"Let''s go, too."
"Supervisor You, has this negotiation failed?"
"We have brought so many things that people don''t like."
It seems that there are no outsiders.
Gu Zeyu, who has always been a spectator, couldn''t help but raise the questions in his heart.
"Not counting."
"I can only say that I didn''t take advantage."
You Zhixuan shook his head and looked a little puzzled when he saw Gu Zeyu.
Then he took his mind and explained further.
“Those things we brought.”
"In fact, it is mainly because the other party is unable to create it himself and make the profit that monopoly."
“Its real value is not much higher for forces that have the ability to create themselves.”
“It’s obvious now.”
"Whether it is military weapons, medicine, water and food, the other party is not short of it."
"There is no need to spend a big price to deal with us."
"We can only honestly use basic resources to exchange for their finished industrial products."
