My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1397
[1387. Chapter 1368 Colluding with outsiders, Manager Sun should also be involved, right?]
There are many people who share the same idea as Danny Koman in the Mining Island Alliance.
As the first gathering place to enter the peaceful development period, the embryonic form of a small society has been initially born here.
Human beings gradually abandoned the barbaric plundering of each other and began to seek a more civilized and rational way of survival, entering the civilized era of barter.
The value of labor has also been re-recognized and affirmed here. People can not only get rewards based on their skills and contributions, but also have anchor points for all kinds of materials produced.
If it weren’t for the sudden outbreak of this chaos, the smelting plants on the major islands would soon serve as the first spring thunder and open the road to the development of the alliance.
It’s a pity that in the current situation, everything seems to have become empty talk.
“Now, everyone should return to their posts temporarily. Our production cannot stop yet.”
Danny Coman raised his hand and waved, “Although the manager died on Shuima Island, our factory has reached the most critical shipping period. As long as we find a suitable seller, I can assure you here that we can sell it at a good price and continue our development.” The
workers actually wanted to ask more questions, but Danny Coman no longer had the heart to answer those stupid questions.
Is Yinsha Island unsafe, so are the other islands safe?
Is there no new chaos tonight after the chaos last night?
Before things really happen, all speculations are empty talk, so it is better to do well in the present.
After instructing several shift leaders to arrange workers to enter the workshop, Danny Coman called Sylvie Harry, the older deputy director of the smelting plant.
As a technical and management old Harry, he has always been Danny Coman’s confidant.
Therefore, after the two entered the office, Danny Coman did not hide anything and said quickly:
“Harry, please help me prepare gifts quickly. I will take the gifts to Tiantie Island.”
“Ah? Are you going to visit those outsiders?”
“Yes, not only are they not dead, but they are alive and well, and are now VIPs of Tiantie Island.”
Danny Coman kept taking out stacks of information from the drawer of his desk.
Since the papermaking technology of the Mining Island Alliance has not yet been upgraded, the paper used for the information is very rough.
But this does not affect the survivors from recording some important data and information on it.
Old Harry stretched his neck and glanced.
“Hey, do you want to show the production data of our factory to those outsiders?”
“Yes.” Danny Coman replied without raising his head:
“Fortunately, I have dealt with Lin Jiafeng of Tiantie Island Smelter several times before, and the relationship is pretty good. I learned from him that these outsiders have a great demand for ore, and there is no problem in taking our output.”
“Ah, what if they don’t plan to pay?”
“Do we have any other options?”
Danny Coman smiled helplessly. If there was a choice, he would not choose to trade with these outsiders at all.
This group of people came to the Mining Island Alliance for one day.
It was only one day!
The alliance fell apart, and only one of the six islands was barely unaffected by the chaos.
If they stayed longer, wouldn’t this place become a chaotic battlefield?
Moreover, the gap in strength between the two parties in the transaction was too large, which would also result in them having no bargaining qualifications during the price negotiation process.
Whatever price the other party said, they could only bite the bullet and agree, even if it meant losing money.
But then again, it is not very realistic to find a force that is weaker than the Mineral Island Alliance to conduct large-scale transactions.
At this stage, the forces that are in urgent need of minerals are basically taking steps in industrial development. Those who
can come from afar to acquire minerals are just like those outsiders yesterday, and their strength is overwhelming them.
Black cat or white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.
Anyway, they are all forces that they can’t afford to offend. There is no choice, so they can only gamble on luck. If
the gamble is wrong, they can only blame their bad luck and their lack of fortune.
But if the gamble is right, it will be like stepping on the right foot with the left foot and going straight to heaven.
“I’ll go prepare it now.” Old Harry nodded and left, but when he walked to the door, he turned back and asked, “Do you want to bring some gifts to Manager Sun?”
“Bring it, anyway, we are going to his territory, so we should have some attitude.” “
Okay.”
There are actually not many things that can be regarded as gifts in the wasteland, and they are mainly civilian supplies.
But Old Harry is undoubtedly a careful person, and he did not follow the crowd in choosing gifts.
The gift he brought to Sun Guangmin was a scientific magazine he had taken out from the material warehouse. It recorded several simple iron smelting methods and the production methods of some small gadgets.
He was even more thoughtful about the gifts he brought to the group of outsiders, and specially prepared some rare goods.
“Where is the metal that was dug out a few days ago? Hurry up and bring it out for me.”
Under the order of Old Harry, several strong workers hurriedly carried out a large piece of khaki ore from the depths of the dim warehouse.
From the outside, the ore presents a deep and warm khaki color. This luster is different from the cold hardness of ordinary metals, but has a warm and deep jade texture.
Moreover, its surface is covered with various strange patterns. These patterns are intricate, like the marks left by the earth after vicissitudes, and like the mysterious symbols of some unknown civilization, which arouses endless reverie.
Under the light, the ore sometimes flashes with a subtle luster, as if the vitality hidden in it is quietly flowing.
What is even more surprising is that some parts of the ore occasionally emit a weak heat, as if it contains a huge amount of energy that may burst out at any time.
This strange phenomenon makes the workers very cautious during the handling process, for fear of touching some unknown mechanism.
“Bring the pickaxe over here and chisel a piece off for me.”
“Oh, this.” Several workers hesitated, looking at each other, but no one dared to do it.
Since this strange stone was dug out from the silver mine, there have been rumors in the factory in the past two days that this is the eye of the devil.
Those strange patterns seal the demonic power inside, and anyone who dares to destroy it will be backfired.
If he does it, they will die.
In the end, it was Old Harry who did it himself, and finally chiseled off a fist-sized piece of ore from the side.
“Take it back, you cowards.”
Old Harry curled his lips.
Ordinary ore naturally could not be used as a gift to attract the attention of the group of outsiders.
Although this piece of yellow ore was unknown, it could still be considered a scarce commodity.
After packing all the gifts in a box, Old Harry returned to the office, and Danny Coman had just prepared the basic production materials for the factory.
Within the Mining Island Alliance, the six islands have different values of the mining islands they occupy due to their respective strengths.
This can be seen from the names.
The strongest Jinyan Island naturally occupies the most precious gold mines, and Huoshi Island occupies a large area of copper mines. These two minerals are undoubtedly the most important and valuable resources in the entire alliance.
Although Shuima Island and Tiantie Island are not as strong as Jinyan Island and Huoshi Island, they have also successfully occupied other valuable mineral deposits with their own strength and strategies, such as veins rich in rare elements or mining points with stable output. However
, for Yinsha Island and Qianshan Island, their situation is a bit embarrassing.
Due to the limitations of strength and geographical location, they can only be forced to accept the least valuable minerals and scattered mining areas at present.
For example, the large area of silver mines on Yinsha Island should have been much more valuable than copper mines.
But because there are not many gathering places that have demand in the short or even medium term, their economic value is greatly reduced.
With the gifts, Danny Coman got on the boat with worry and headed towards Tiantie Island.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the island, they ran into Nevin Bafford, the director of the smelter on the neighboring Qianshan Island.
The two islands are now in the same boat. Danny Coman and Nevin Bafford decided to go on a boat together and visit the outsiders on Tiantie Island. It
was almost noon.
The sun was shining hotly on the river, and the golden light was flickering, as if it was going to burn everything.
But when they boarded the dock of Tiantie Island, they found that it was already crowded with people, and many survivors had gathered.
Most of them were natives of Tiantie Island, hurriedly cleaning up the mess left by the fierce battle last night.
Everywhere you can see the incomplete ships that were bombed, the charred wood and twisted metal are particularly dazzling in the sun.
The wooden piles of the dock are covered with dense bullet holes, as if they had been attacked by countless bee swarms, recording the tragic battle last night.
The air was also filled with a strong smell of blood, which became stronger under the sun, as if it was going to invade every pore of a person.
The breeze from the river blew by, bringing not coolness, but this disgusting smell of blood.
The sun and the smell of blood intertwined to form a suffocating atmosphere, which made Danny Coman squint his eyes to avoid the unpleasant smell and the dazzling sun.
But soon, he found a few acquaintances in his peripheral vision.
“Flint Island, Jinyan Island, Shuima Island, everyone is here.”
In addition to the factory directors of the three island smelting factories, there were also many extra people from Flint Island and Jinyan Island.
There were various handicraft factories that had just been established not long ago, and there were machinery factories that had been established for a long time but had never received much attention.
It is worth mentioning that some family workshops actually sent people here, and I don’t know what they were thinking.
“Fortunately, we came here without hesitation, otherwise we would be in trouble if we came later.”
The chubby Bafford wiped the sweat from his head and tiptoed to look inside Tiantie Island.
Except for the dock, no other place on Tiantie Island was ravaged by the war.
Moreover, this place was not like their island, where the survivors gathered together in a panic. Tiantie Island still maintained a similar order as before.
Not long after, the guards arranged by Hu Shulin led all the visiting guests to the designated location in an orderly manner.
According to the status and level of the factories on each island, except for the people in the family workshops who were arranged to wait in the rest area first, the directors of the other factories of all sizes were politely taken to the small restaurant where Mala Tiechui and the two were entertained before.
As Hu Shulin stepped forward and opened the door of the restaurant, everyone’s eyes were focused on the two tables in the restaurant.
At one of the tables, a group of young people in black uniforms were sitting.
This group of people were tall and straight, with sturdy looks, and shiny pistols were prominently inserted on their waists. There were also several rifles on the ground. Even if they were sitting there quietly, they exuded a frightening aura.
In the middle of another table, Spicy Hammer and Doomsday Madman sat side by side.
Although the two looked ordinary, the temperament revealed in their gestures was completely different from that of ordinary survivors.
At this time, Sun Guangmin, the manager of Tiantie Island, was sitting respectfully beside the two young men.
There was no need for Hu Shulin to introduce more, everyone knew who was the real boss.
“Everyone, find a seat and sit down. Just leave the things at the door.”
Hu Shulin certainly would not let anyone bring gifts in. Who knows what is inside.
And if each family competes with each other because of the gifts, the scene is indeed not very good.
A group of people put down the things in their hands and walked in one by one with their heads down.
Lin Jiafeng stood up and greeted them, smiling at everyone: “All the factory directors are here. We have been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Director Lin!” Lin Jiafeng, who used to have a low status, now everyone has to greet him respectfully.
While greeting each other, everyone was actually looking at Mala Tiechui and the other two with their peripheral vision.
It seems that they don’t have the arrogance that a super territory should have?
Danny Coman at the back of the crowd rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but secretly thought that his luck was not bad.
After Lin Jiafeng finished speaking, Sun Guangmin stood up and said: “I’m sorry that the chaos last night disturbed everyone, but I believe that you can come here now, you should already know what happened.”
“Yes, I have to tell you a bad news first.”
“Due to the instigation of a group of people with ulterior motives, a serious internal conflict occurred in our Mining Island Alliance, resulting in the tragic deaths of two managers of Yinsha Island and Qianshan Island.”
After the voice fell, everyone turned their heads and looked at Danny Coman and Bafford tacitly.
Although the two men were not emotional, they still pretended to be sad and reminisced for a few words to save face.
“In addition, since Wu Jiahao is a serious suspect and we have evidence that he colluded with outsiders, the guards have detained him in prison and will launch a public trial soon.”
Cai Feng, the factory director of Shuima Island, nodded quickly and angrily scolded them for harming people.
“As for Hua Qingyun and Nkobat, they are also suspected of colluding with outsiders and are still under investigation.”
“I don’t think you have any objections, right?”
“No.” The factory directors of several smelters dared not say a word of no to such a sensitive question, and nodded quickly.
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice came from the side:
“I have an objection.”
“Oh?” Subconsciously, everyone turned their heads to look at the place where the voice came from.
The person who spoke was none other than Wu Yuhe, the deputy manager of Huoshi Island.
“If we talk about collusion with outsiders, I think Manager Sun should also be involved, right?”
