Chapter 69: Tons of Supplies

"The price of a radiation detector is 2500 contribution points."

"One is equivalent to 300kg of discarded circuit boards, or 5 tons of scrap metal. The transportation cost will be 10/, and you will be responsible for the transportation. The reward is % of the total value of the transported materials."

"Various types of metal raw materials, such as gold, silver, copper, lead, etc., as well as various other chemical raw materials and finished products, generally refer to the prices before the end of the world, and then adjust them up or down according to current demand."

"We can provide modification services. The modification fee is tentatively set at 200 contribution points per unit. You can pay with other materials of equivalent value."

"Population resources, no, we don't need population for the time being—"

Dealing with large shelters involves trading huge amounts of supplies.

The process is much more complicated than imagined.

Radiation detectors are already valuable in themselves. A production of 5,000 units a day would mean more than 12 million yuan in contribution value, or more than 20,000 tons of waste metal.

If these materials were fully digested, Su Wu would even be able to build a 10,000-ton ship.

Such a huge amount of supplies.

Just how to carry out land transportation is a huge project involving countless manpower and material resources.

What's more, along with the huge amount of materials come corresponding security, storage and other tasks.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these large shelters appear to be quite gentle and friendly during negotiations; their style of action is almost entirely based on the principles of mutual benefit, reciprocity and fairness.

But as long as they find an opportunity, Su Wu believes that they will not hesitate to expose their brutal claws.

Divide Su Wu's refuge into pieces and eat them.

Fortunately, there are only a few large shelters that use cheap materials such as scrap metal as payment.

Most trading partners choose to exchange through more convenient contribution points, or lightweight precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, etc.

This gave Su Wu a chance to catch his breath and not be too busy.

Of course, even the transportation pressure of trading materials has been greatly reduced.

The entire transaction process is still quite cumbersome.

In this situation where he was unable to handle all of the tasks, Su Wu was forced to put artificial intelligence online to share the responsibility of handling some non-decision-making matters.

In this way, this huge transaction involving tens of millions of contribution points was barely able to proceed smoothly.

The ruins of a farmyard.

The control center on the second underground floor of the shelter.

Su Wu rubbed his forehead tiredly and felt like his head was buzzing.

After finishing negotiating the price with the last large shelter and determining the transportation method.

He finally had some time to rest.

“There are hundreds of materials, and each one has to be priced individually.”

“It’s really too much trouble.”

Also because of the huge transaction amount, many large shelters that are unwilling to use precious contribution points are actually just scraping together enough resources to buy radiation detectors.

And in this patchwork situation, it is naturally impossible for there to be only one or two kinds of supplies.

Most of the time, they pack up some unimportant or excess materials and exchange them together.

And, these different materials.

The prices in the doomsday environment are also significantly different from those in the peaceful times of the past.

Need to negotiate one by one.

Su Wu refused to pay a higher price than the actual value. The negotiation team of the large shelter was also unwilling to give in if the price was lower than the actual value.

The tug of war consumed Su Wu's energy.

This is also the most difficult part of the transaction.

When the negotiations were over, the subsequent processes were much easier with the assistance of artificial intelligence, allowing Su Wu to take the opportunity to free himself.

"Some people are actually proposing to use human trade." "Are we returning to a slave society?"

Thinking of the person in charge of negotiations for a certain large shelter, he secretly told Su Wu that he hoped to use a group of gentle and beautiful young women, talents with professional skills, and healthy and qualified experimental materials to offset the purchase of radiation detectors.

Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little headache, and was also a little shocked by the refreshing of his three views.

It's only been a month or two since we moved into the shelter, how come even the human trafficking has become so sophisticated and open?

“Perhaps human trafficking has always existed.”

"It's just that in the end times, people have become more unscrupulous."

If you think carefully about the performance of the person who was selling to him, it is obvious that he was not a practitioner who temporarily changed his career after the end of the world.

Su Wu had a vague understanding.

This person was most likely doing similar things before the end of the world.

"But then again."

"If there is a chance in the future, it is possible to consider bringing back a batch of docile and beautiful young women."

Well, it’s about getting, not buying.

The other party has openly resumed the business of slave trade.

As for them, of course the profit from the robbers is higher.

Otherwise, it would be a waste for Su Wu to make so many weapons and just leave them there as mascots.

Rested for a while.

Su Wu began to adjust the production plan within the shelter.

The initial plan to expand the size of the engineering team and scavenger fleet was naturally terminated immediately.

Two gravel trucks and two Type I ore transport trucks have been produced.

The former still joined the engineering team and was responsible for continuing to expand the fifth underground space. The latter was pulled back by Su Wu for refitting before leaving the factory.

The open truck bed originally used for loading cargo was re-covered and sealed.

Then a 360mm machine gun that can rotate 20 ​​degrees and two 8-tube rocket launchers are welded on.

Giving it extremely fierce firepower and appearance.

If you ignore the fact that it has a weak hull and almost no real armor and defense capabilities, this is a killing machine that can give people an extremely professional impression in appearance.

"There are these two Ore-1 modified armored vehicles patrolling near the shelter."

"Plus the 120mm howitzer in the small bunker and the four unfolded folding shooting platforms."

"Also dispatch ten construction robots to arm a combat team."

"It should be enough to establish a certain deterrent effect--"

"Forget it, let's be safer."

"Recall the scavenger convoy."

"Refit the two special transport vehicles in the convoy and equip them with machine guns and rocket launchers."

"In addition to the original 30mm rapid-fire cannon on the roof, the large truck also has two 12.7mm heavy machine guns on both sides."

"The carriage should also be modified. Add a drone lifting platform and put two K2 series agricultural drones in it to make it a land drone carrier."

"When necessary, it can be dispatched to carry out bombing missions near urban areas."

"In this case."

"——It should be enough for the time being."

Even after achieving this, Su Wu still felt a little lacking in confidence.

But time and productivity did not allow him to continue to be willful.
