Karl believed that today must be his lucky day. He walked into this town with unlimited hope. The first thing he saw was the neatly planned houses and wide roads, unlike the piles of iron sheets in Diamond City. It is a combination of tatters and wood, but like the city wall, it is made of bright metal, which emits a cool and dazzling light under the hot sunshine.
Moreover, the roads in the town are not the most primitive dirt roads, but a kind of solid concrete road. The term "concrete" is something he heard from other companions. It is the legendary those that humans built before the beginning of the Wasteland Century. A magical material for buildings.
The road in the town is extremely wide, at least thirty feet wide. Carl has never seen such clean and tidy ground, almost spotless. Not only that, Karl even saw the extravagant facilities of sewers to ensure that the town would not be flooded by standing water on rainy days.
Also, the closer you get to the center of the town, the taller the surrounding buildings become. Looking from the edge, the centerpiece is actually a huge fortress that is at least fifty meters high and covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters! There are even many wide platforms on the fortress, and powerful artillery and bird helicopters can be seen set up on the platforms!
This is a well-armed city that can withstand the baptism of war!
The eagerness in Karl's eyes became more intense, but when he thought of his wife and children at home, he forced himself to retract his eager gaze and wandered around the street. He needed to find a grocery store first and sell the goods he didn't even have in his hands. I know what the wreckage is.
It seemed that because the town had just opened, he found that there were very few people on the streets, except for groups of soldiers wearing large armors who often patrolled by to maintain law and order in the town.
Not only that, there were many shops along the streets in the town, so many that Karl was almost dazzled, but they were all closed, obviously because there were no operators.
If I could own a shop in this town, then I would no longer have to run around for survival and food, right
A flash of desire flashed in Karl's eyes, and then he shook his head to get this unrealistic fantasy out of his mind.
Until finally, Karl walked to the center of the town and finally saw an open grocery store on the edge of the fortress.
Karl was overjoyed and ran over, only to see a very clean woman sitting in the center of the counter in the store. The woman looked ordinary, but compared to the unkempt women living in the wasteland world, she was as beautiful as a fairy.
After swallowing, Karl asked nervously, "Excuse me, are the wastelands being purchased here?"
"Everything is collected here, what do you have?" The woman raised her head calmly and walked out of the counter. Karl seemed to be a little inferior and quickly stepped back, fearing that the other party would smell the bad smell on his body.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The woman shook her head, with neither sadness nor happiness in her eyes.
"That's it." Carl's face turned red, and he reached out his hand and quickly handed the wreckage to the other party, then quickly took two steps back, lowering his head and mumbling.
"It turns out to be a nuclear fusion core of a power armor. You are very lucky." The woman said calmly, "It's just that the power of this energy core is not much, and the shell is also somewhat damaged. I will give you an estimate of the value. It is 10,000 Stellar or so, do you want cash or something?”
Karl couldn't help but frowned, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I want to ask, isn't the currency in circulation here bottle caps?"
"No, this is Stellar City. The only currency in circulation here is Stellar Lumens." The woman said in a very normal tone, "And soon, only this currency will be in circulation in the entire Boston and even the entire Federation."
Karl couldn't help but take a breath of spiritual energy. This eternal city is so ambitious!
But these were not what Karl cared about. He just said with some anxiety, "Then I don't want currency, but I want food. Is that okay?"
"Okay." The woman didn't say anything more, just pointed to the food on the counter, "These foods are all priced according to stellar lumens, you can choose what you need."
Karl nodded and glanced at the woman awkwardly. He needs food very much now and will not betray a woman's face for the sake of her, even if she is as beautiful as he has never seen before. Besides, he would not keep the currency of a force that would perish at some point. In the wasteland, Nuka-Cola bottle caps were the only hard currency.
Karl concentrated his mind and looked at the food on the counter. He was a little nervous and didn't pay attention to the food just now. It was only then that he suddenly froze, and then showed a look of shock!
I saw a variety of food on the counters separated by glass on both sides of the store. Among them, the rye bread that I usually eat is just the cheapest one. The one-kilogram rye bread on top , only sold 1 star!
Carl's heart was like lightning and thunder, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Only then did he understand how valuable the so-called core he had obtained was!
You know, one kilogram of bread, which is what he usually earns from scavenging for a week, is only worth 1 star here, while the core he picked up is worth tens of thousands of stars. It's a good thing that he didn't take this thing directly back to Diamond City. Otherwise, given the security of Diamond City, taking out items of that value would only lead to death!
Thinking of this, Karl felt extremely emotional. He had an intuition that only in front of this woman who had no emotions at all, he didn't have to worry about his belongings being swallowed up, and he didn't have to worry about the other party giving him less food because he didn't know the goods.
Thinking of this, Karl suddenly had a bold idea, an opportunity to completely get rid of his low status as a scavenger! His heart beat violently, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble with excitement!
"Please, can I buy a shop here with 10,000 stars?"
"Sorry, there is no project to sell shops in Eternal City." However, the woman shook her head. Just when Karl was disappointed, the woman said again, "But there is a project to rent a store. The price of renting a store is between 1,000 stars to 10,000 stars. It mainly depends on the location. The closer the store is to the center of the town, the more expensive it is. ”
"Do you need to rent?"
…
After more than a month of maintenance, 90% of the college's various instruments and circuits have been repaired, including the college's quantum computer Alpha. The remaining 10% are some that are difficult to repair or are too damaged to repair. Repaired instrument.
Although it is a pity, if given the choice again, Zhang Heng would still use the extremely simple method of dropping electromagnetic bombs to break through the academy.
All the building materials Zhang Heng brought from reality were used in the new city above the college, including cement floors, aluminum alloy houses, and reinforced concrete castles.
Zhang Heng named the new city Stellar City, which contains residential, commercial and entertainment areas. He wanted to gather a group of aborigines here to exchange for the world's rich resources and development through food, daily necessities and other materials. technology, and eventually dominate the entire federation.
With the labor force of synthetic humans, the construction speed of new cities is extremely fast. Even before other forces have recovered, the prototype of the city has been built. Coupled with the more than 200 clone warriors and thirteen tyrants transported by Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng almost has the strength to sweep the federation!
At this moment, Zhang Heng stood on the top of the fortress, looking at the town below. Suddenly, he saw a ragged aboriginal. The aboriginal walked out of the clone shop arranged by Zhang Heng with a happy face, and then the two of them A clone warrior directly drove out of a tank and took him out of the city.
"What's going on?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Sir, that's just a lucky upstart." A male voice sounded out of thin air in the room. If you listen carefully, you can tell that this voice is electronically synthesized, but it seems to have emotions and a human tone. .
"This lucky gentleman picked up a nuclear fusion core and exchanged it for 10,000 star coins. He spent 1,000 to rent a shop, and then used 4,000 to rent two soldiers to protect him for 24 hours. I heard that he was going back to Boston to pick him up. My wife and son." After saying this, a 3D picture flashed in Zhang Heng's room, with countless small lights intertwining to form the shape of a crab in mid-air.
"He is indeed a very lucky guy." Zhang Heng nodded and ignored the topic. "Alfa, have you completed all the scientific and technological information listed by Yuehua? I'm ready to leave."
"Okay sir, I have completed the various technologies listed by Yue Hua and restored them to the most basic data." It turns out that this voice comes from the quantum supercomputer in the academy: Alpha, Radiation Plane Artificial intelligence has long been developed, and Alpha is one of the best. Although it is far from comparable to Yuehua, it still has good abilities.
"Very good. I grant Adam and Gu Zhan the highest authority. After I leave, they will have full authority to manage the academy and Stellar City." Zhang Heng nodded.
However, just when Zhang Heng was about to leave, the 3D image of the Alpha flashed twice in mid-air, and he asked with some hesitation, "Sir, can't you really introduce me to the man named Yuehua?" Computer?"
