After using the materials he had on hand to make the parts he could, and even making an extra half track, Chen Xin ran out of materials on hand.
Although there are still many parts in the storage room, those parts cannot be used in vehicle modifications unless Chen Xin recycles them into raw materials and then reprocesses them.
In order to avoid this unnecessary waste, Chen Xin decided to find someone to get some more resources.
The SWAT team probably won't be able to do it for the time being. After all, the SWAT team also has to avoid suspicion at this time of crisis, so the only ones Chen Xin can find are his friends in the survival group and Li Yulong.
The members of the survival group don't have many resources that they can exchange for, and they mainly focus on survival supplies. They also need to collect the parts needed to modify the car.
Therefore, after Chen Xin mentioned this matter during the daily exchange of messages, he did not place his hopes on how many supplies the group could get him. Instead, he set out to enter the city again to find Li Yulong.
Li Yulong has now moved to the small shelter that will be the location of the plantation and trading market he wants to operate next. However, the project was temporarily suspended by the city government. Although the small shelter has been reactivated, related construction Renovation is still in progress, but it cannot be put into use.
When Chen Xin saw Li Yulong, he was standing in the area originally designated as a plantation and losing his temper at his subordinates.
"What's wrong, Xiaolong? Are you so angry?" Chen Xin asked curiously after being brought to Li Yulong's side and seeing how angry he was.
"I'm really pissed off! Brother Chen, you came just in time!" Li Yulong immediately adjusted his expression when he saw Chen Xin's arrival, but his anger still lingered: "You know the situation, you come to judge the situation. Now the city government If this project is stopped, should the greenhouse be temporarily sealed? Even if it is not sealed, it should be planted with something that is easy to store, right?”
"That's right. What's wrong?" Chen Xin heard Li Yulong ask and turned his attention to the plantation in front of him.
Sowing has already begun in the plantation, but as Li Yulong said, when the city government temporarily suspended the project, crops should not continue to be planted in the plantation.
Because when originally planned, plantations were used to grow crops with relatively high economic value, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, but these things all have a very distinctive feature, that is, they are not easy to preserve.
It is not impossible to freeze it at low temperature, but when it is thawed, it will basically be frozen, so it can only be refrigerated at low temperature, and there is still a storage time limit.
If vegetables are made into freeze-dried or dehydrated vegetables, although the nutritional value will not be a problem, there will undoubtedly be a huge gap in taste compared to fresh vegetables and fruits, and there will also be a big gap in price.
Although Chen Xin didn't know what kind of crops Li Yulong's men were sowing now, judging from the leaves, it was probably some kind of fruit.
"I don't know if these guys are deliberately angry with me? Or they simply didn't understand what I said? They are actually growing strawberries and grapes!" Li Yulong became particularly angry when he mentioned this matter, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with it.
Seeing him angry? Chen Xin couldn't help but laugh.
Li Yulong's men are planting strawberries and grapes. This is certainly not wrong, but in this situation, it is indeed inappropriate for them to do so.
If everything goes according to the original plan, growing strawberries and grapes is of course a good choice. With the opening of the trading market, fresh strawberries and grapes will be directly traded on the market and will undoubtedly become the most marketable commodities.
Even if he can't make a fortune, he can still make Li Yulong a lot of money.
But now that the project has been stopped, we don’t know when it will be opened again. Under such circumstances, there is a question mark as to when the trading market can be opened? Can these fruits that are not resistant to storage be sold in time after they are grown? Going out will raise a huge question mark.
If they cannot be sold in time, all the investment in growing this batch of fruits will be wasted.
Even before the disaster, this would have caused farmers to lose all their money, let alone the current apocalypse where every penny of resources cannot be wasted.
"Don't worry about getting angry, think about how to remedy it." Seeing this, Chen Xin could only persuade Li Yulong not to get angry.
"Repair? How to remedy this? The seeds have sprouted? We can't tear them all apart, right?" Li Yulong still felt a little irritated. Although his family had a lot of crop seeds stored before the disaster, they couldn't afford such a waste.
Chen Xin did have some ideas on how to remedy the situation. In addition, he also had a share in this plantation, so he said: "It takes time for strawberries and grapes to mature? There is no need to worry about this yet? Maybe during this period of time Can the city government find out the result? Then you will naturally lift the ban? These things will be sold naturally. "
"Brother Chen, what you said is the most ideal situation. The question is, considering the big noise made by the city government, how can it be possible to achieve results in a short time." Of course, Li Yulong knew that the situation mentioned by Chen Xin was also possible, but This kind of thing is too idealistic. For Li Yulong, he will not place his hopes on such an idealized situation.
"Of course I know this is the most ideal situation, but you can't say it's impossible, right?" Chen Xin laughed. Seeing that he was no longer so angry, he patted Li Yulong on the shoulder and continued: "And If not, just make strawberry jam or wine. It’s not complicated to make, and it’s more durable. You don’t have to worry too much about it. Maybe jam and wine will sell better?”
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Li Yulong calmed down. After cursing a few more words at his men, he and Chen Xin walked to the cleaned up lounge.
Sitting down in the lounge, Li Yulong poured water for Chen Xin and asked, "Brother Chen, why are you here today?"
"I'm planning to renovate my car recently, so I came to ask if you have any spare car parts. If you have any, I'll give them a batch." Chen Xin did not be polite to Li Yulong and directly told him his purpose.
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Li Yulong frowned and hesitated, then said: "Brother Chen, how do you plan to modify it? I remember your car is an SUV, right? Do you have a list of the parts you need?" I don’t have all the parts in stock right now, so I can’t give you a guarantee, I can only say that I’ll try my best to get them for you.”
"Your words are enough. Basically what I need are some common parts." Chen Xin smiled at Li Yulong. (End of chapter)
