My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1382

[1372. Chapter 1353: Cooperation reached with restless local forces!]

If the materials proposed by the doomsday madman were other types, such as daily necessities, technical information, some things to improve the living standards of the residents of the gathering place, or even help to accelerate the development of the territory, the two parties would have to haggle over the price.

After all, for Tiantie Island and other islands of the Mining Island Alliance at this stage, these things cannot solve the problems they are about to face. In the

wasteland of crisis and turmoil, as long as the natural disasters do not end and the alien races do not disappear, there will never be peace.

At present, the Mining Island Alliance has not been besieged and harassed by other gathering places, because they have not solved the biggest food problem at present, and have not built weapons and ships enough to equip an entire team.

But everyone knows that when the autumn harvest is over and the forces of all parties have recovered, the Mining Island Alliance will face huge challenges.

At that time, without sufficient weapons and defense facilities, they may find it difficult to resist the siege of external forces.

It is in this context that the arms deal proposed by the doomsday madman undoubtedly hits the vital point accurately!

But to be honest, there is really no need to negotiate this thing.

In the peaceful times when wars occasionally occur, the arms business is undoubtedly a seller’s market.

Even if the doomsday madman offers a sky-high price, they can only accept it with a pinch of their nose.

As for whether the other party is lying, Sun Guangmin never doubted it from beginning to end.

First, before coming, he deliberately rushed to the dock to see the other party’s iron boat up close.

The more than ten-meter-long ship is indeed a world apart from the wooden boats of the survivors.

Even if there are no weapons on it and it relies purely on ramming, it can still force its way out of the encirclement of wooden boats.

Second, the demands put forward by the other party also further confirm their strength. They are in urgent need of a large amount of processed ore, and are even willing to take over the ore output of the entire Tiantie Island.

Such a demand cannot be digested in the short term for large gathering places.

So, what do they do with so many raw materials that cannot be eaten or drunk?

The answer is actually obvious.

The gathering place of the other party must have made good industrial development, and may have mastered advanced smelting and production technology, which can transform these ores into various practical tools and machinery.

And the production of weapons, for them, may be just the simplest link in many industrial activities.

The third and most important point.

The two parties trade, one hand pays the money, the other hand delivers the goods.

Under such conditions, if there is no courage to reach a cooperation, the Iron Island will be given away that day.

“There are still 170 tons of inventory in the warehouse, iron ore and copper ore account for up to 70%, and there are still a lot of aluminum, manganese, and tungsten ores.” Sun Guangmin ordered the restaurant to serve another table of dishes. The group chatted while eating: “If you have other needs, such as gold and silver, I can also get a batch, but the price may be much more expensive than ordinary ores.”

Ordinary ores are now pitifully low because of the rare demand.

But the gold and silver mines, which are also in short supply, are still expensive because the survivors inherently believe that they are precious metals.

Of course, this expensiveness is only relatively expensive.

In the eyes of Mala Tiechui, the value is basically the same as the copper mines in Tianyuan territory.

It can be said to be given away for free!

“We want all of them. We want all kinds of minerals you can collect. Don’t worry, in addition to arms, we can also provide some other materials you urgently need, such as”

Spicy Hammer’s eyes flashed a cunning, he put down his chopsticks, and took out a long-prepared list from the backpack behind him, “For example, these are all the materials we can provide now.”

Sun Guangmin took the list with doubts. Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw the lines of text on it.

The first thing to bear the brunt was medicine!

The list listed all kinds of medicines, from common cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs to scarce antibiotics and hemostatics, and even some special medicines for some epidemics that have recently ravaged the wasteland.

In this world, these medicines are simply life-saving treasures. Sun Guangmin couldn’t help but set off a storm in his heart. Under special circumstances, even if a piece of special medicine is worth a hundred gold, it will be snatched up.

Once you can trade these things from the other party, even if you don’t use them, reselling them will be a terrifying income!

Then, his eyes fell on the medical equipment column below the medicines.

The list listed various medical equipment, ranging from simple bandages and disinfectants to complex surgical instruments and electrocardiographs.

For a moment, Sun Guangmin felt suffocated and even thought he was dazzled.

What the hell?

If ordinary medical equipment is still within his understanding, then the large medical equipment that can only be seen in various modern hospitals is a bit beyond the current level of human development.

For their small gathering place of more than 100,000 people, a few medical equipment may not be of much use, and even if they want to use them, they may not be able to find anyone to operate them.

But for those super territories with millions or tens of millions of people, the value of this thing is self-evident, and any one of them can cause a scramble.

“You… This is…” Sun Guangmin paused and swallowed hard.

With his knowledge and understanding, the two items on the list are indeed a bit over the standard, and they are the kind of things that he never even dreamed of.

But when he raised his head, he happened to meet the slightly encouraging eyes of Mala Iron Hammer.

Well, the other party obviously knew that he would have this reaction.

Sun Guangmin had no choice but to lower his head and continue reading. After skipping the medical supplies, the second major category was various agricultural seeds, which were several pages long. They not only covered seeds of various food crops and cash crops, but also some strange wasteland plant seeds that he had never heard of.

“Land flowers can continuously improve the fertility of the land in the area?”

Seeing the description of one of the seeds, Sun Guangmin couldn’t help but feel ecstatic. If the properties of this seed were not false, then they would have soil fertility that was no less than that of the land even on the island, and they could grow food and vegetables on a large scale.

This is of great significance to the long-term development of the Mining Island Alliance. It means that even if they can’t trade food from the outside world in the future, they can still maintain a certain degree of self-sufficiency internally.

“It’s amazing. How can so many things come from a small and unknown territory?”

“No. This doesn’t look like the work of a small territory at all. Could they be the spokespersons of a large territory?”

“It’s possible, very likely”

In a flash, Sun Guangmin thought a lot, but his eyes stayed on the last column of finished equipment.

For many settlements, this part of things is more like a pie in the sky.

For example, although this high-efficiency stone converter can provide a certain amount of energy every day, Tiantie Island does not have many electrical devices and cannot build covering facilities.

There are also large water purifiers, which can be used, but clean water sources are not currently a rigid demand. We have to wait until the settlement becomes wealthy before we can talk about improving our lives.

In addition, the list also lists a lot of production tools.

This part did attract Sun Guangmin’s attention, but unfortunately, the ability to develop industrial machine tools was not included.

“This is only part. When our cooperation is stable, we will provide more of what you want.”

Spicy Hammer smiled and said, “Including anything. We can even help you build a whole factory.”

“Then I’m relieved.” Sun Guangmin expressed his understanding and did not ask again.

It is not realistic to expect to trade everything they want at once.

But then again, the other party is willing to give so many trading items for the first cooperation, which is indeed full of sincerity.

On the spot, the two parties signed a simple cooperation agreement.

As the buyer, “Dream Moon Territory” needs to take the initiative to come to Tiankuang Island for trading within one month with enough supplies, of which the number of weapons and ammunition cannot be less than 70%, and it must also have some after-sales business. As the party that takes the initiative to come to the door, Tiantie Island is willing to reduce the original price by 10% to share the transportation costs of the goods.

As the seller, Tiantie Island needs to prepare the agreed quantity of goods in advance, and there can be no cutting corners. Each finished product must be smelted and purified strictly according to the buyer’s standards. Considering the increase in labor costs, the buyer Mengyue Territory is also willing to increase the original price by 10% as an incentive.

After reaching an agreement, Sun Guangmin was able to remain calm, but others were so happy that they were at a loss on the spot.

Especially Hu Shulin, when he thought that his guards would be able to change to standard weapons soon and no longer be embarrassed before, he was like a chicken blood, and he drank a kettle of tea in a row.

“Dear guests, it’s getting late, why don’t you rest in our Tiantie Island for a night and leave tomorrow, and let us do our best to be a good host!”

“Okay, then we’ll disturb you here for a night and leave tomorrow.”

Spicy Iron Hammer and Doomsday Madman looked at each other, and they actually had this intention.

Compared with the survivors of Mengyue Territory.

The Mining Island Alliance still has continuous communication with the outside world, and it should be able to get a lot of information here.

Moreover, the southern Fire Region now does not look as barren as rumored.

If the trade route here can be opened, there will be no need to rely on the supply from the north for a long time.

After all, it takes nearly two months longer to go to the north than to the south. For the early stage, this is extremely precious time for development!

That afternoon and evening, the two people almost measured Tiantie Island with their feet.

Sun Guangmin did not restrict them from contacting ordinary residents. It seems that he is very confident in his reputation.

This is indeed the case. Sun Guangmin has a good reputation in the Mining Island Alliance.

In addition to the righteous big brother ‘Enkobat’ of Jinyan Island, he is the most principled and rule-abiding.

Of course, the entire Tiantie Island has nearly 300 rules, big and small.

“Most of these rules are actually restricting people with power. It’s strange!” The doomsday madman specially asked for a complete copy of the new Tiantie rules. After reading it, he couldn’t help but sighed.

If this new rule appeared in the gathering place of the wasteland for a year, he would not be surprised.

At that time, humans still had the hope of returning home, and the moral concepts and ideological education of the civilized era remained in their hearts. The nostalgia for the past life and the longing for the future enabled many people to maintain a certain order and moral bottom line in the early stage of the disaster.

However, the wasteland now is not like this. Nearly two years have completely let the survivors go.

In this barren land, more and more people have been liberated from their nature. They began to abandon the shackles of the past and became reckless.

In this disordered world, the dark side of human nature is infinitely magnified, and bad behaviors such as greed, selfishness, and violence are common.

Because of this, managers like Sun Guangmin who can still stick to their original intentions are particularly rare and precious. He not only has to face external survival pressure, but also has to deal with internal human challenges.

In such an environment, it undoubtedly requires great courage and perseverance to keep a clear mind, stick to the moral bottom line, and devote themselves to the long-term and stable development of the gathering place.

“Of course, this is also the main reason why we are willing to follow Lord Sun!”

Hu Shulin nodded confidently.

In fact, he didn’t say another sentence. Only with limited power can it be called real power.

After all, if power is not restrained, it will overflow and easily destroy their fragile gathering place.

When the carrier is gone, what power will he have?

However, some people hold the opposite opinion and believe that power should not restrain oneself, but should be based on the premise of restraining ordinary survivors.

Shuima Island, which is adjacent to Tiantie Island, is one of them.

Night fell.

Lu Guangyin brought a few confidants and came to Shuima Island at night. After paying a lot of materials as the price of introduction, he finally got the qualification to meet.

The lord of Shuima Island is named Wu Jiahao, often called Brother Hao.

Because he is a native of Hong Kong and is loyal, he attracted many brothers in the early days of the wasteland.

Later, he was lucky and more and more people followed him along the way, so he simply formed a gang.

However, those who are willing to follow this brother Hao are not good people. They are either thugs with lives on their hands or people who do not intend to live an honest life.

A group of people traveled north and south, burning, killing and looting countless times, until they came to the territory of the mining island and stopped.

“Brother Hao, the person is here. He said he knows where the people who were on the iron boat this afternoon came from.”

“Let him in.”

Wu Jiahao was about thirty years old, with a ruddy complexion, thick eyebrows slightly raised upwards rebelliously, and a pair of narrow and fierce eyes like a wild wolf under his long and slightly curled eyelashes.

In addition, he was not small in height, just over 1.8 meters, and the muscular blocks under his black jacket were even more threatening.

Most people would feel breathless if they were stared at by him, let alone look at him.
