My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1466

[1457. Chapter 1434 Special Products, the Way to Take Off!]

The narrowest part of the mountain path can only accommodate four or five people walking side by side. There is a cliff next to it, which makes it a bit dangerous.

Zhao Jun walked in front of the crowd, sweating profusely, but still excitedly shouted,
“Brothers and sisters, the road ahead is the last section to our Giant Stone Territory. Don’t be impatient. The road up the mountain is a bit steep. Be careful not to miss any steps. Don’t squeeze, and be careful not to fall!”

The crowd was in a mess, and everyone was looking around curiously, as if no one could hear what he was saying.

But soon, after all the guards spoke one after another, nearly four hundred people lined up in an orderly manner.

Two people stood in a row, stretching more than a hundred meters away, like a long black dragon.

“very nice!”

Zhao Jun thought secretly in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

He turned his head.

Looking at the bustling crowd around, almost everyone’s face was full of anticipation, just like when they joined the territory.

Looking at the piles of various supplies on the carts, there were heavy bags of rice, grains, flour, and many of the things that were in urgent need of the Stone Territory. This time, a lot of them were exchanged, and the harvest was so rich that it was almost unbelievable.

I have to say, everything that happened today was like a dream.

wrong.

Even if he were dreaming, he would never be able to conceive such a beautiful and fulfilling dream!

Before setting off in the morning, they easily solved the major problem in the village at the foot of the mountain and eliminated the potential threat in one fell swoop.

The trade went smoothly in several surrounding territories. Under the leadership of Lord Ji, there were no ups and downs, and a large number of scarce materials were successfully exchanged.

I didn’t expect there would be a surprise when I was preparing to return.

I don’t know what Lord Ji did, but he actually managed to pry open a group of people from these territories.

Although these few hundred people cannot cause any waves in the territory with a total population of nearly 100,000, and will not even attract anyone’s attention, the hidden meaning behind them is very important to the Giant Stone Territory.

There are actually survivors who are willing to give up the Golden Eagle’s points in the hope of joining a territory that is not on the list.

This is an extremely positive signal.

It not only confirms that their previous choice was correct, but also gives people more fantasies about the future.

“What happened? Why are there so many people? And supplies?”

Lao Zhang and several guards ran down the mountain, panting.

The scene seen through the telescope was far less shocking than what was actually happening before our eyes.

Nearly four hundred people may sound like a small number, but they stretch down the mountain path like a long black dragon.

“I met some people who had given up their dreams on the road. I thought they had nowhere to go, so I brought them back to help develop the territory.” Su Mo looked natural, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

“Give up the fantasy?” Lao Zhang was stunned.

What fantasy did I give up?
The fantasy of joining the Golden Eagle?
“Well, the surrounding territories have very strict arrangements for foreign survivors. Some people are not used to it and can’t stand it. Some people want to seek flexibility and look for new opportunities. I told them about the current situation of the Giant Stone Territory, and they were willing to follow me immediately.”

“hiss”

So they were people pried from those big territories?

Old Zhang took a deep breath, knowing that the matter was definitely not as simple as Su Mo said.

He had personally been to the Golden Eagle Checkpoint to recruit people, and knew how extreme the survivors’ ideas were.

Even if these people gave up the fantasy of joining the Golden Giant Eagle, even if they were not living comfortably in the Territory of Ten Thousand People.

For a boulder territory with only a hundred people, it is certainly not much easier to absorb these people than to recruit people outside the checkpoint.

As expected of him, he is Boss Ji. Old Zhang secretly clicked his tongue but was not in a position to ask any more questions.

On the surface, he is the lord of the Stone Territory, so he must behave calmly and calmly to suit his status.

Besides, these people are already here, and he doesn’t want to ruin the good situation because of his own mistake.

“This is our Lord Zhang. Please open the game panel and submit your application to join the territory.”

The guards began to maintain order and the crowd became noisy.

After handing the stall over to Lao Zhang, Su Mo was happy to have some free time and strolled back to the village along the mountain road.

In just over half a day from this morning till now, the construction of drainage facilities in the village has advanced by almost 10%.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the Niu brothers were still working hard with a group of young and strong men, and the sound of excavation was endless.

At the entrance of the village.

Many women crowded around the watchtower, standing on tiptoe to look down the mountain, wanting to see if their men had returned safely.

In the past, such behavior was strictly prohibited.

However, the current scale of the Stone Territory determines that the established rules are often difficult to strictly enforce. For example, everyone now turns a blind eye to this kind of behavior and lets it go.

but.

Su Mo had just taken two steps when a petite girl with a chubby face emerged from the crowd and blocked his way.

“Um?”

Su Mo looked him up and down.

Most of the girl’s clothes were patched, no different from the survivors outside.

But her eyes were unusually bright, the kind that people could remember at first sight.

“What’s up?”

“Master Ji Ji, may I ask, is my father, Zhao Jun, back safely?” The girl spoke with a trembling voice, as if talking to Su Mo was a very stressful thing.

“Yuanyuan, what are you doing? Don’t stop Lord Ji from going back to rest.” Another woman ran over in a panic. Seeing the girl blocking the way, she was scared to death.

“Master Ji, children are ignorant, please don’t take it to heart.”

Yue Xiang lowered her head and quickly pulled the girl to bend down and bow. Unexpectedly, even after bending down, the girl still stubbornly looked at Su Mo with her peripheral vision.

“Zhao Jun. I don’t know which one it is, but those who went out with me this morning are all back now.”

Su Mo repeated the name in his mouth.

“Thank you, thank you!” The girl laughed in surprise, finally gave up resisting, and was dragged to the side by the woman to “escape”.

Why run away?
Su Mo was speechless. Was he so scary in the eyes of the villagers?
“It’s not that they are afraid of you, it’s that they respect you.” After walking a few steps inside, Luo You, who was watching the fun nearby, finally came over and took out a cup of tea from his arms and handed it to him with a smile.

“This girl is quite talented. There were more than 20 people who took the test today, and only she and another girl passed the test. They will join the pharmaceutical industry next.”

“Really?” Su Mo took a sip of water. “Didn’t they say they were going to choose ten people? Why did they only choose two?”

“There’s no way to force this. We can only choose from the people you brought back today. Some people are really not suitable for this kind of work.”

In order to gain as many survival points as possible, Su Mo is much more concerned about the development of the current Giant Stone Territory than he was about the original Tianyuan Territory.

“Any arrangements?” Luo You raised his eyebrows.

“Well, I went out to trade some materials and tinker with it. There should be a lot of new positions available tomorrow.”

Su Mo told the truth.

Although most of the work is done by the system, the trading materials are real.

Thanks to the huge size of the Golden Giant Eagle, the surrounding territories of tens of thousands of people have received a lot of support. Many basic materials are well-equipped, regardless of whether they can be used or not.

And as far as the price is concerned, because these territories obtained the subsidies for free, the prices they sell to the outside world are not high and are completely within an acceptable range.

Use urgently needed medicines as trading items.

Su Mo successfully replaced a lot of wires, electronic components, and two ordinary motors.

He planned to combine and upgrade these to create a simple assembly line for the Boulder Territory.

In this way, even if the drug trade is no longer violent in the future, the Stone Territory will have other industries to take over as pillars, so that the entire territory will not come to a standstill.

As for what to produce specifically, Su Mo probably had a simple idea in his mind.

It would definitely not work if it was too high-tech, such as the stress protection shield, which would definitely attract the attention of the Golden Giant Eagle and the surrounding territories. At that time, he would inevitably have to reveal his identity.

Moreover, the price of these things is difficult to define. Whether to sell more or less is a problem.

Too low-end ones are not good either. Su Mo took people out today to trade medicines ostensibly, but in fact he was also going to investigate and see the development progress of the territories around the Golden Giant Eagle.

After traveling to several surrounding areas with a population of 10,000, he found that low-end industries were basically saturated.

Small commodities are especially hardest hit.

The production lines of several territories almost completely overlap, and they can only compete with each other by continuously lowering costs.

If the Giant Stone Territory also gets involved, how can it possibly compete with these territories that have support from the Golden Giant Eagle?

“So fast, from which aspect?”

Luo You was shocked. Although he knew Su Mo’s true identity, he still found it difficult to understand some things.

“Well, it can be considered a small commodity route.”

“Doesn’t that overlap with the surrounding territories?” Luo You asked subconsciously.

“Manufacturing is different. I don’t plan to make those popular items. I want to make something that requires technology and can make money. I just have some ideas about what to do.”

As they talked, they walked and almost reached the largest stone house on the first floor platform.

This is the house that Lao Zhang specially reserved for him at the beginning of the construction of the territory. It has the best location.

Looking out from the other side of the stone house, you can see the mountains stretching out behind you, with an extremely broad view.

After opening the door, Su Mo invited Luo You in. The two of them sat on a simple stone table and stone chairs to study for a while.

“The location of the Boulder Territory is still a bit bad. We can’t farm around it, so we have to take the industrial route if we want to develop. However, the industrial route cannot do without the cluster scale effect. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain market advantage.”

Luo You has actually been thinking about the future of the Stone Territory these days.

He knew that when Su Mo decided to build the territory in this location, it was definitely not just for the geographical defensive advantage.

But if you think about it carefully, it is really difficult to develop on a rocky mountain, and there is no way to make money.

The most abundant raw material here is stone. The stones dug out from the construction of the three platforms alone can be piled up to form a short stone mountain.

But there are stones everywhere. Even if there are fewer in some places, they are definitely enough.

After all, we have passed the stage of large-scale infrastructure construction. Even if there is new demand for construction, it will gradually focus on materials such as concrete.

The ancient stone buildings are strong, but they are a thing of the past!
“Architecture. You are right. This is a good direction that everyone knows but no one cares about.”

Luo You’s words reminded Su Mo, allowing him to suddenly grasp a direction that had been overlooked.

Is the current construction demand saturated?
In fact, no, the influx of survivors will still have endless construction needs.

With a house that is enough to live in, there will also be a demand for the size and sturdiness of the house.

With a house and a yard, you will also want a strong wall to protect against enemies.

After the above-ground construction is completed, the underground cannot be neglected either.

Under the endless demand for a sense of security, construction can continue for a very long time.

This also applies to the surrounding territories, which will also need to build continuous defense facilities under the impact of infected bodies.

As long as we can grasp this point, why worry about the Stone Territory not being able to take off?

“When the Red Spider Caravan first traded with the territory, they gave us a construction foam gun.”

Su Mo was in deep thought.

That magical construction foam gun has not been used yet and is placed in the territory’s precious items storage room.

At that time, Lu Kuan was curious and studied it for a while, but finally found out that the solution used in the foam gun was too expensive.

That special solution can dissolve the raw materials into foam and store them.

After being sprayed using a foam gun, the foam will solidify quickly when it encounters oxygen, and eventually return to its original properties.

Compared with traditional construction methods.

The foam gun can create a natural building from scratch according to the user’s ideas in just a few hours.

Its solidity seems like it was formed naturally, and it completely defeats artificially stacked buildings.

There are no restrictions on the architectural form and it can be built according to the user’s wishes.

Moreover, the foam gun itself does not have much technological content, it all relies on the special solution that can dissolve the reducing substance.

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

As long as the cost of the solution can be set at a level that the Golden Eagle finds difficult to scale up after obtaining the specific formula, but still has a certain value, there is no need to worry about it snatching up the market.

With a population of over 100 million nearby, even if the Stone Territory only takes up one ten-thousandth of the market, it will be enough for the Stone Territory to take off.

“I have an idea, but whether it can be realized depends on the system’s support and the rate of return!”

Soma decided.

If the number of special points given in tomorrow morning’s daily report exceeds the estimate, he will use the points without hesitation to upgrade the formula and make a special solution with similar functions as he imagined.

Otherwise, look for other directions and find a more reliable way.
