Loli has three good qualities: it is light and flexible and easy to push down.
Of course, Jiang Chen did not eat Yao Yao, although the little animal was already "cooked".
It always felt like eating her at this time was a bit bad in every sense of the word.
Let's raise it first... Uh, at least until the side effects (growth arrest) of the inhibitor are relieved? Or wait for Yao Yao to be fully mentally prepared
So he wiped away the nosebleed, comforted Yao Yao who was in a state of confusion, and left in a hurry.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that he restrained himself and did not act like an animal.

In the evening, Jiang Chen came to the conference room of the community center and started a wireless video call with Zhao Chenwu.
Light blue lines and light particles painted a full-length portrait of Zhao Chenwu. After seeing Jiang Chen, the man with deep eye sockets and a majestic look smiled and extended his right hand to express welcome.
Jiang Chen also smiled, then stretched out his right hand and passed through the right hand of the holographic image.
Of course, this hand cannot be touched. It is just a etiquette similar to a handshake, a future-specific etiquette that will only appear in virtual conference rooms. Before starting the call, Sun Jiao had already informed Jiang Chen about science.
As long as you sit on the chair next to the negotiation table, your holographic image will appear in the opposite position in the other party's conference room. Considering that instant information exchange is important to both parties, Zhao Chenwu sold this set of equipment to Jiang Chen at a 50% discount. I have to praise this hero's strategic vision. In the long run, this is definitely a high-return investment.
What better way to solve problems than to discuss it face to face
Speaking of which, Jiang Chen never thought that there was such a magical thing in this world. He's only seen in some science fiction movies.
"Long time no see, Boss Jiang. To save time, let's get straight to the point." Unlike negotiations in this world, negotiations in the apocalypse are often long stories. Because no one is really tempted by someone's flattery. Even if they are allies who are usually brothers, in the end everyone only cares about their own interests. After all, this is about survival.
In addition, this set of equipment will consume 1 subcrystal point every minute it is turned on. Although there is no shortage of money, the polite words can still be used as little as possible.
"It's okay to just say it." Jiang Chen made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile.
"I hope to increase the trade volume. Especially for canned fruits, the gap on my side is currently more than 1,000." Zhao Chenwu waved his finger, and a holographic data panel appeared in the center of the negotiation table, listing his various needs.
The number of canned meats was raised to 10,000 pieces, canned fruits to 8,000 pieces, compressed biscuits were raised to 100,000 pieces, and instant noodles were given out to 20,000 packs. According to the last pricing, the total trade volume directly reached 450,000 Yajing!
Jiang Chen took a breath of cold air.
Four hundred and fifty thousand... A piece of moderately equipped power armor costs only about ten thousand.
"With all due respect, for such a big order, can you afford so many sub-crystals? Or, in other words, do you have the ability to digest so many goods?" Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.
Although there is a large population in the Sixth District, there are definitely not many people who can afford these "luxuries".
Zhao Chenwu smiled slightly when he heard this, and did not hide anything. He waved his hand directly, and a document composed of holographic projection "slid" from him to Jiang Chen's desk.
"It's not something worth hiding. In order to deal with the recent unusual movements of zombies around the Sixth Block, the ten-person committee voted on an expedition proposal to clean up the two recent sources of the spread of unknown bacteria. The plan is divided into two routes, A and two. The ten-member committee jointly 'invested' to start the project. I participated in the investment project with 31 power armor warriors and a spider tank, and will receive 21% of the dividend from Route A."
"Is there any profit from eradicating the source of proliferation? Dividends?" Jiang Chen laughed.
He remembered that not all zombies would have sub-crystals condensed on the backs of their heads. Even if they transformed into dangerous species like Roshan, their sub-crystal energy would only fluctuate between 40-50.
"Not only are there, but there are a lot of them." Zhao Chenwu smiled mysteriously, and then called up another data, "The total revenue of action route A is estimated to be 1.2 million sub-crystals, and the cost of ammunition consumed is only about ten dozen Compared to Wan Yajing’s income, it is completely negligible.”
1.7 million sub-crystals
This number startled Jiang Chen, but after seeing the documents Zhao Chenwu threw over, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Normal alien species would naturally be unable to compete with a large-scale survivor attack, and no one would let go of the sub-crystals on them. In addition, the zombies enveloped by this mutant bacteria have gained abundant energy and almost all have condensed biological crystals called subcrystals. This is also the reason why their combat effectiveness has increased.
However, under the firepower of thermal weapons, these zombies are still zombies no matter how crazy they are. Let alone a crisis, District 6 could make a lot of money from this operation! Even if each zombie only grows 1 point of sub-crystal, killing 100,000 of them will still result in 100,000 sub-crystals! What's more, the closer to the "bacteria source" location, the higher the energy content of the subcrystals condensed by the zombies. Looking at what is written in that document, the sub-crystal energy limit of a single zombie can even reach 20!
In addition to the alien species encountered on the road, even troublesome things like Roshan are not a problem at all in front of tanks. Unless it was the city center, with the firepower of the 6th Block, there would be no danger at all.
And that's not even the point. When the Sixth District dispatches a large force for an expedition, it will inevitably be followed by a large group of survivor groups or individual armed forces waiting to pick up the pieces. Of course, they would definitely not dare to do things like "rob monsters". However, under the protection of "big brother", it is still tacitly allowed to fight against the autumn wind and dig up some crystals. After all, they are all in the same camp no matter what, and the more monsters that cannot be killed, the better.
If they encounter someone they can't defeat, such as a Deathclaw, they can just hide away from the main force and be done with it. Not to mention whether Deathclaw would dare to come up after seeing so many people. Even if he came up, it would only be a matter of one shot.
The rise in per capita wealth will drive consumption. Even Jiang Chen, who has never studied economics, knows this truth.
"In addition, the consumable materials for this expedition will be converted into sub-crystals and publicly raised from the people in the Sixth District. The yield is estimated to reach 15%, and 1,341 'middle class' are expected to be born. The increase in per capita wealth will definitely drive consumption , consumption will stimulate the originally weak industry in the Sixth District, and the increase in industrial production capacity will definitely increase the relative value of sub-crystals as energy in the Sixth District! This will encourage capable survivors nearby to move closer to us or even settle down! .. ... "
This blueprint is quite good, although talking about the economy in the wasteland sounds a bit inexplicably joyful.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a long time, then suddenly asked.
"You guys are so stupid, why didn't you hit the city center before?"
"Ahem, that is a thankless task, and the situation in the city center is a bit special... But this expedition to the outskirts of the city center will definitely make a profit!"
Looking blankly at Zhao Chenwu who was talking endlessly, Jiang Chen had a wry smile on his face.
Is this the benefit of using energy directly as money
Industrial raw materials and the like can be obtained through waste recycling, but energy has always been a problem restricting the production of various survivor bases.
Pre-war industrial facilities basically relied on thermonuclear reactors using helium-3 as energy. However, not to mention that the helium-3 mining base on the moon had long been bombed into space junk, and there was no trace of it on the ground. A well-maintained nuclear power plant. These things were the focus of attention during wartime.
As a result, lightweight, efficient and "renewable" sub-crystals have become the mainstream energy material and hard currency in the wasteland.
As long as the industry continues to operate, there is no need to consider inflation. The increase in commodities and the passive appreciation of currency will directly drive the survivors' hunting enthusiasm. Hunt for sub-crystals in exchange for goods, increase factory production, passively appreciate sub-crystals, stimulate consumption and hunting, and explore dangerous areas...
What a virtuous cycle.
In the past, no one was interested in wasting bullets and killing zombies without sub-crystals. It's not that they are too hungry, and no one is willing to risk their lives to hunt difficult alien species. However, the current generation of zombies have generally given birth to sub-crystals under the influence of unknown bacteria. Follow the large army and sneak back outside, carrying a backpack full of Yajing, replace it with more reliable equipment, and then the risk of hunting alien species will be greatly reduced.
At that time, even if these zombies that are pregnant with sub-crystals are wiped out, the survivors who have changed their weapons can still obtain sub-crystals by hunting alien species.
It was like a wisp of fire that completely ignited the originally lifeless firewood.
It can be said that after this expedition, Block 6 will undergo earth-shaking changes!
Damn it, Jiang Chen was jealous, and at the same time he was secretly wary.
Although there is still some distance between this place and the Sixth District, no one can say how wide its influence will cover. After all, it was a neutral zone with an open door. Even the survivor groups near Jiang Chen would occasionally send people there to "go to the market."
The equipment upgrades of nearby survivors are not a good thing for the new fish bones.
The bandits who originally carried assault rifles suddenly had the money to buy rocket launchers and even expensive Gauss rifles. This will undoubtedly put huge pressure on the base's defense. The current defense forces in the base only include a few light machine guns, some individual anti-tank weapons, and rifle grenades.
Although Jiang Chen also wanted to buy a tank and put it in the base, he also had that sub-crystal, but it was impossible for him to sell it. After all, heavy firepower equipment such as tanks are basically modified from scraps recovered from the battlefield, and the quantity is pitiful.
Building a powered armor from scratch may not be a big deal, but for a tank, even if you have the technology, you still don't have the conditions.
His eyes flickered slightly, Jiang Chen thought to himself, he had to think of a way to update the base's weapons.
If you can’t buy it in Sixth Street, why not try Liuding Town
However, in Zhao Chenwu's eyes, Jiang Chen's expression was interpreted as showing a strong interest in the benefits brought by the expedition. Zhao Chenwu couldn't help but reveal a smile. In his opinion, Jiang Chen was already moved.
"How about it? Boss Jiang, I believe you should also understand. If we take advantage of this golden period to open up the food market, I believe no one will be interested in something as unpalatable as nutritional mixtures."
