"This is my arms factory. There are hundreds of workers working for me inside, delivering those metal gadgets to the hands of good and bad people. We won't go in. The temperature inside is simply not suitable for humans. ."
I always feel that this sentence is a bit contradictory...
Zhao Chenwu pointed to the bustling military factory that seemed to be in operation, and proudly explained to Jiang Chen that it was not much different from the developers in the world.
"There is also this one, but the products produced here are all expensive gadgets, such as .50-caliber fixed sentry guns. The gadgets equipped on the inner wall are basically from my factory."
When he arrived at a factory that was obviously much smaller than the building just now, Zhao Chenwu pointed with a finger holding a cigarette and continued.
Naturally, things like cigarettes will not be missing in the apocalypse. Alcohol cannot be mass-produced due to food shortages, so cigarettes have become a way for most people to relieve their mental stress. The smell of burning tobacco here has a strong spicy flavor, and not everyone is in the habit of smoking. Radiation has brought uncontrollable mutations to all living things on the earth, but not all mutations are malignant. Just like this special tobacco, it can adapt to the soil of the wasteland like those mutated plants that can be seen everywhere. It can be grown on a large area without high-end cultivation technology, which is why cigarettes are not expensive in the last days. Many survivors will plant a few plants in front of their homes, which can be used both for medicinal purposes and for smoking.
Naturally, Jiang Chen couldn't stand the spicy taste. Seeing this, Zhao Chenwu laughed and said that he could use it and didn't care. He could just throw it away if he couldn't get used to it. In fact, this is all relative. When taking the Chinese food from Jiang Chen, Zhao Chenwu also felt that the taste was too bland and unsatisfactory.
"Oh? I'm also very interested in this kind of automated weapon. I wonder if Boss Zhao can sell me a few of them?" Jiang Chen watched an employee in white overalls use a tablet to debug the half-person-high machine. Control the 360-degree rotating muzzle to aim at the target in the isolation room, pouring ferocious firepower.
"Hahaha, of course there is no problem. But the output of this thing is really low. Recently, the Sixth District has been updating the equipment of the northern checkpoint, and the order has been scheduled for two months. I have to trouble Boss Jiang to wait."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Chen smiled nonchalantly.
The two walked side by side in this high-tech factory. The female secretary named Su Lei followed them, holding Zhao Chenwu's briefcase in her hand. People along the way saluted the three people one after another, and it felt like a leader entering the factory for inspection.
To be honest, after walking around this factory, Jiang Chen became more and more frightened. Including the flying disk-sized magnetic levitation drone, and the half-assembled 2-meter-high power armor...
Although as Zhao Chenwu said, the output of these gadgets is very low, because facilities such as military factories must be the focus of attention during wartime. It may not be difficult to plunder civilian-level assembly lines from the wasteland. But trying to find a complete military production assembly line is simply a joke.
Including the power armor being built, most of the equipment is handmade. Jiang Chen watched a worker holding something like a hammer, hammering the high-temperature armor plate into shape bit by bit. Some workers were carefully assembling tiny electronic components into the interior of the armor... maybe Before the war, these processes were completed through high-precision automatic production lines, but in the end of the world, many things had to be done by hand.
Of course, the lack of manufacturing technology is all for complex equipment. The bullet assembly line and so on are still easy to solve.
But even so, there is no doubt about the firepower that the survivors can possess. No matter how hard a zombie's head is, it's nothing more than a headshot bullet. Even if the Death Claw's blade can tear through the outer shell of power armor, it still has tanks as its mortal enemies.
So the question is, even with such powerful equipment, can humans not conquer those bloodthirsty alien species and zombies
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little silent. He was curious about what kind of existence there was in the city center.
"Part of this equipment will go into my personal armed forces, and some will be sold to the army in the Sixth District or other interested buyers. However, power armor is generally not allowed to be sold outside, and there are also some heavy-duty equipment such as spider tanks. Weapons are also banned from sale. Unless the arms purchase bill is voted by the Sixth District Council, my factory will start producing these difficult-to-serve gadgets." Zhao Chenwu did not notice Jiang Chen's contemplation, but was minding his own business. As he said this, his words seemed to give Jiang Chen a vaccination. If Jiang Chen wanted to buy a power armor, it would be really difficult for him.
"Oh? So Boss Zhao is an arms dealer?" Jiang Chen put the question behind him and asked after smiling.
"Let's count half of it. I also have a pharmaceutical factory and also run some real estate businesses in the inner circle. If Mr. Jiang Chen is interested in buying a house in the inner circle, you might as well come to me, haha." Zhao Chenwu took a puff of cigarette and said very He said with a bold smile, casually took a ring-shaped arm guard from the table and threw it into Jiang Chen's hand.
"Boss Jiang is away from home all year round. Consider this nitrogen armor a gift from me."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Jiang Chen didn't refuse. After taking it, he smiled and put it on his hand, then looked at Zhao Chenwu with questioning eyes.
How to use this thing
Zhao Chenwu waved to the soldier testing equipment on the side. The man immediately saluted and then ran to the center of the isolation room. The soldier unfolded the nitrogen armor on his hand, and the high-density gas ripples spread out in a bowl shape from the ring in the center of the arm guard like viscous water flow.
At this time, a heavy machine gun appeared in front of the soldier, and tongues of fire spurted out from the black hole of the gun.
Because the sound insulation effect was so good, Jiang Chen couldn't hear the sounds in the isolation room, but he was surprised to find that all the bullets were bounced around after contacting the nitrogen barrier. The soldier standing behind the shield still maintained a half-crouched posture, not even able to withstand the impact of the bullet.
Good guy! Just a protective shield
"Through the vortex effect of inert atoms, the nitrogen gas is pulled by the central field to form a high-pressure circulation... Haha, in short, leave the theoretical stuff to the experts. I only look at the effect. Is Boss Jiang satisfied with this thing? ?" Zhao Chenwu waved his hand to signal the end of the test, and then the machine gun lowered.
"Satisfied, very satisfied. I wonder if there are any restrictions on the use of this thing." Jiang Chen played with it for a while and then put it away.
"There are no big restrictions, but the energy consumption is a bit high. The overheating problem of the central scroll device has not been solved yet. One point of sub-crystal is probably enough to start this thing for 1 minute. If it is used continuously for 10 seconds, it will overheat. After using it for a while, I'm afraid that the sub-crystal consumed will be more expensive than the cost of making it. And... it has little effect on optical weapons and particle weapons. Of course, it has a good effect on kinetic energy weapons." Zhao Chenwu blew out a smoke ring and said .
"I didn't expect that Boss Zhao's military factory also has the ability to develop weapons." Jiang Chen sighed.
"Haha, that's natural, but the sales of this thing are not very good. Not many people can afford this thing. But my scientists are studying the application of this thing in power armor to see if partial armor can be used It can be put to some use... Let’s not talk about this anymore, just leave this annoying thing to the experts, haha, again, I only look at the effect.”

After leaving the factory, Zhao Chenwu took Jiang Chen to the pharmaceutical factory for a walk. However, the pharmaceutical factory is very small, so there is not much to visit. It is said that the genetic medicines produced here account for 30% of the market share in Block 6, and some other medicines are also very popular in the wasteland. Such as epinephrine and the like, hematopoietic injections and the like.
After visiting all this, the two came to the door of the slum together.
It was still the talent market manager named Wang Yi. When the balding fat man saw Zhao Chenwu, he ran out like flying, and then bowed in an exaggerated way. This flattering look is indeed a bit funny, but surprisingly it is not annoying. It seems that this fat man is not an ordinary person. He can live so well by flattery in the last days, which is something ordinary people can't do.
Zhao Chenwu didn't talk too much to this little person. He just glanced at the female secretary Su Lei behind him, and then continued to brag with Jiang Chen. Su Lei took out a piece of paper from her briefcase and handed it to Wang Yi's hand ably. After Wang Yi took the document obediently, he immediately nodded and bowed to express that he would get it done, quickly ran back to the office, and quickly took out a stack of documents.
"Pick whatever you want. These are all surplus labor without work. Don't worry about getting into trouble if you touch workers in other factories." Zhao Chenwu waved his hand, and Su Lei stepped forward and handed the stack of documents to Jiang Chen's hand. Jiang Chen has reached an agreement with Zhao Chenwu to transfer these 30 people to Jiang Chen at a price of 20 Yajing per person, and they have already been settled when the goods were delivered just now.
Among them, 1 yajing is the official price for selling criminals, and 19 yajing is the cost of installing the latest insurance system at Jiang Chen's request. Zhao Chenwu didn't earn a penny from Jiang Chen in this process. It was purely a favor and sold to him at cost price. After all, compared with the benefits brought by trade agreements, this petty altruism is really looked down upon.
The latest insurance system is much safer than an electronic collar. It is implemented through nanoscale surgery and a microchip is implanted in the slave's back and neck spine. Once someone betrays someone, Jiang Chen can directly activate the self-destruct program in the microchip, and the traitor's head will fly several meters away like a football... Although it is cruel, Jiang Chen does not intend to take his own. Be safe in showing compassion to people other than those who matter to you.
At the same time, this chip also has functions such as nerve current lie detection, map positioning, optic nerve access, and nerve signal blocking. It can be said that slaves have no privacy and no ability to betray. This is countless times more high-end than that electronic collar. Of course, the price is also N times higher.
However, Jiang Chen is a very open-minded person. As long as these people have no evil intentions, he doesn't mind letting them live a much more comfortable life than here.
"Haha, just tell me whoever you like, and they will be 'expelled' immediately because they are terminally ill." Zhao Chenwu just opened his mouth and decided the fate of this group of people.
I have to say, power is really a good thing.

Jiang Chen took a pile of resume-like things and quickly flipped through them. This kind of resume is not a bunch of nonsense like the past, but it is a very intuitive record of how valuable a person is. How to put it, after passing the special assessment process, the artificial intelligence review program will judge from an objective perspective and then give an intuitive overview of capabilities. For example, if you have computer knowledge, it will give you five levels to which extent you can apply your computer knowledge.
Majors in construction, mechanics, etc., in the Sixth District where there is a surplus of labor, if they don't have an outstanding ability assessment level, they really can't find any jobs. As for the arms factory that Zhao Chenwu himself didn't want to enter, the guys who were playing with bullets on the assembly line were all mechanical experts. Of course... he was able to work there not because of his major in mechanics, but because of his good physical fitness.
But for Jiang Chen, these talents are precious, because he really needs manpower.
Talents in various high-tech majors account for one-third, and applied technical talents such as construction, machinery repair, and chemistry account for two-thirds. Priority will be given to those with special abilities, such as those who can cook or whatever. Jiang Chen will consider them.
Then give priority to those with good physical fitness. After all, renovating a villa requires work.
Then there is the priority of having a family. With a strong sense of family belonging, Jiang Chen didn't have to worry too much about their loyalty. In addition, there is no need to worry about the physical problems of this group of people.
Jiang Chen handed the selected resumes to Su Lei, and then the capable female secretary quickly took the 30 resumes to the door of the slum.
It could be seen that Zhao Chenwu had already greeted the slum manager. After a while, those people were summoned and taken to the isolation room. It was euphemistically called quarantine, but in fact the diagnostic report had been written long ago. All 30 people were labeled with the X1 influenza epidemic, and then were taken to the prison cell to have slave chips implanted.
(human rights? What a joke, in the end of the world are there still people talking about (human) rights
From the moment they receive the nutrition mixture subsidy from the base, their freedom no longer belongs to them.
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to meet these people, but returned to the inner circle with Zhao Chenwu. By the way, Zhao Chenwu helped Jiang Chen register his gene ID in the inner circle's white list. From then on, Jiang Chen did not need to pay the city gate tax of 1 Yajing when entering and leaving the inner circle. Although the city gate tax is not much, it can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.
Those who were bought by Jiang Chen were "put" together with the materials, and were pressed into the sewer entrance by Zhao Chenwu's personal armed forces, and went to the agreed delivery point for the goods, only waiting for Jiang Chen to go back to pick up the goods.
No matter what kind of fearful test those frightened survivors endured, Jiang Chen was accepting Zhao Chenwu's invitation to have dinner with him at this moment. At the dinner table, the boss of the Sixth District frequently toasted to him, which made Jiang Chen feel a little emotional. Sure enough, the power of money is so powerful in any era.
Next, you just need to think about how to develop your strength and work hard to keep the cake in your hands.
