Chapter 23 An Order from the Officials

Wang Jianguo sighed.

His steel shelter was neither big nor small. It was basically made up of workers and their families from the steel plant. There were about 2,000 people in total. In the past, it would have been considered a small town.

"By the way, I remember you once said that your shelter uses a geothermal generator."

"Is that thing useful?"

"good."

"A stable supply of 300 degrees of electricity per hour is enough to support the operation of the entire shelter."

This is not a secret, Su Wu answered quite straightforwardly.

His geothermal generator, even the design drawings, were found for free on the Internet. Although it was upgraded later with a survival point, it has a certain amount of black technology. But the basic principle is there, and it is at most an improvement in technology.

Let alone exposing it, even if it is openly sold as a commodity, outsiders will at most praise it for its advanced technology, and will not find anything surprising.

"so much?"

"Three hundred kilowatt-hours of electricity."

"It's almost as big as a small hydroelectric power station."

Su Wu's answer not only amazed Wang Jianguo, but also made other people in the group couldn't help but watch.

Although the name of a small hydropower station is insignificant, its power generation is already a considerable fortune in peacetime. Now, if it is used sparingly, it is enough to maintain hundreds of small and medium-sized shelters and the basic living needs of tens of thousands of people.

It is the most typical symbol of the nouveau riche in the current period.

"Can I buy some electricity from you?"

"I can barely even afford the lighting in my shelter right now. There's a lack of electricity everywhere."

A group member, the shelter owner named Heavy Knight couldn't help but ask.

His shelter, like Su Wu's, was a small private shelter. It was not large in scale, and only he and his family lived in the entire shelter.

The small scale also means low tolerance for errors.

As the only diesel generator in the shelter broke down last night, his shelter was forced into a state of power outage.

Fortunately, the air quality outside was still good, and the poisonous gas produced by the burning had already dissipated a lot. Otherwise, he would have to take his family to seek refuge in an official shelter.

"Yes, it is possible."

"But I'm far away from you. I can't just pull a wire over there."

Su Wu's current shelter can't even use up half of the power generated by the geothermal generator under normal conditions. A lot of excess electricity is wasted every day. If it can be used to exchange for something else, it would be great.

But in the doomsday, the most difficult part of resource exchange is not the resources themselves, but the process of exchange.

If this problem is not resolved, the so-called deal will be nothing but empty talk.

"It's ok."

"I have a lot of battery packs here, anything can be done to charge the battery."

The heavy knight replied hurriedly. With the emergency power in the battery pack, it was almost enough to last until he repaired the generator.

As for how to deliver the battery pack to Su Wu, he had to take the risk himself and drive it there himself in the scorching heat and the extreme heat storm that could come at any time.

"Row."

"Let's chat privately later."

Su Wu sensed more business opportunities from the words of the heavy-armored knight.

For a heavy knight, carrying the battery pack back and forth would be life-threatening. But he didn't have to. With an automatic unmanned medium-sized truck and a construction robot at hand, and the medium-sized truck runs on electricity instead of gasoline, the cost of delivering goods is almost zero as long as it is within the area around Jianghe City.

The difference is enough for him to make a good profit from the shipping fee.

Made a deal with the Armored Knight.

After that, Su Wu never received any more trade requests.

Although many people in the group also envied Su Wu's abundant power, they were not as well-equipped as the heavy knights, who had a large number of batteries that could store power, and their own situation was not yet at the end of its rope.

Just for some electricity that would not affect basic survival, it was far from worth it for them to go through the trouble of making a special transaction.

In the apocalypse, survival is the most important thing, and everything else must give way to it.

I chatted in the group for more than half an hour.

After gaining a lot of useful and useless information and gossip.

Su Wu was just about to quit the game to play for a while when a somewhat unfamiliar group member, Ye Luoshuanghua, sent him a private message.

"Are you selling your geothermal generators to the public?"

"You want to buy?"

Su Wu raised his eyebrows and became interested.

The geothermal generator is a big thing with specifications comparable to a small hydroelectric power station. Although it looks small after the transformation of the survival point, in terms of value, it is true that even if there is a steel shelter for 2,000 people, it may not be able to afford it even if you sell everything you have.

"I've checked the database. In recent years, none of the relevant manufacturers or second-hand equipment on the market have geothermal generators of your model."

"You should have the original design drawings of this generator in your hands."

"If possible, I'd like to buy not only the finished product but also the blueprints."

Ye Luoshuanghua said sincerely.

"You even want the blueprints?"

Su Wu looked a little surprised.

This request is not ordinary. Wanting the blueprint means that the other party is confident that they can completely copy it. This means that they have the most basic machining capabilities and a large number of engineers.

An ordinary shelter, even if its owner was once a billionaire, simply cannot afford such a professional team.

“The finished product can be sold.”

"As for the blueprints, they are actually useless even if you ask for them."

"Many of its core components were not produced by many companies even before the end of the world."

After thinking about it for a while, Su Wu chose to refuse to sell the drawings.

The drawings of his geothermal generator were originally public versions found on the Internet.

If the survival points are not completed later, even if it is reproduced strictly one-to-one according to the drawings, it will not meet the standards of a small hydropower station.

Selling the blueprints to the other party is no different from making an enemy.

“It’s OK if I can sell the finished product.”

"I'd like to order two, and they need installation included. As for transportation, if it's inconvenient for you, I can send a fleet to assist you."

Ye Luoshuanghua didn't argue and placed the order directly and neatly.

He actually didn't care much about the blueprint. It wasn't a particularly high-tech device. As long as he had the finished product, it wouldn't be that difficult to replicate. He only offered to buy it because he still needed Su Wu's installation service.

Manufacturing geothermal generators is not difficult in itself, but during the installation process, if you want to dig pipes ten kilometers underground to truly extract geothermal resources, it is not something that any construction team can do.

"What's the price?"

Looking at Ye Luoshuanghua's attitude, he was just short of having the words "not short of money" written on his face.

Su Wu became more excited.

I had a vague feeling that I seemed to have encountered an opportunity to take off.
