The Fishbone base's metal resources were imported from the "economic center" of the Sixth Street. Affected by the economic recovery of the Sixth Street last fall, as well as the establishment of the Sixth Street Bank at the end of the year, factories and workshops of all sizes sprang up. The garbage accumulated for many years was swept clean by the major factories. After the hunters who hunted for crystals and the mercenaries who protected the merchant fleet, the professional scavengers became the most popular scavengers in the Sixth Street.
This was unimaginable in the past because no one expected the Sixth Street to develop so many factories at such a rapid rate.
"The base's production is also limited by the raw materials. A lot of scavengers have signed contracts with the Sixth Street factories. Although I suggested to Chu Nan to purchase the resources required by the Fishbone base at a premium, he rejected it. He said that unless you personally order it, he won't interfere with the contract between the private enterprise and the scavengers. "Wang Qin sighed helplessly.
"What he did was right." Jiang Chen smiled.
Chu Nan was interesting. He was only a pilot, but his thoughts coincided with his. Most of the survivors on the wasteland had one thing in common – the first thing they thought of when they saw something good was to rob it. This was why most people lived a life of picking up garbage for the rest of their lives.
Of course, looking at this problem from another angle, most of the survivors' behavior was understandable. Because there were only so many resources, if they didn't rob it, they might not even survive.
Wang Qin looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled. From her perspective, purchasing at a premium was already the best they could do. At least they didn't rob it outright. The Fishbone base was the true controller of the Sixth Street. Did they not have the right to do so?
"Only freedom and openness can inject long-term vitality into the economic development of the Sixth Street. Using the hand of policy to interfere with the economy to support their own industry will only overdraft their credibility. And for a regime, the latter is obviously more important than the former. "
Although she didn't know what the boss was talking about, it sounded impressive. This was the true expression on Wang Qin's face.
"Credibility … What's the use?"
"It's too useful." Jiang Chen laughed. "Let's not talk about this. How much iron ore and bauxite are we lacking? Give me a list. In the future, these two resources won't need to be imported from the Sixth Street. I'll find a way. "
"You, you can get iron?" Wang Qin's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
However, she quickly realized her impoliteness and raised her cuff to her mouth in embarrassment to express her apology.
But Jiang Chen didn't mind and said in a relaxed tone.
"That's right. I'll probably be able to deliver it on the first of next month. As for the rare earths, I can't solve it for the time being. You can see if you have any ideas. "
He pushed up his glasses with his index finger, and a shrewd light flashed on the lenses of the Logistics Department Minister.
"Let the base's scavengers take care of it. Give up on recycling steel and aluminum, and focus on electronic equipment and high-precision instruments, which have a higher content of rare earths. "
"Mhmm, I'll leave this to you." Jiang Chen nodded with trust.
As they spoke, the storage was almost done. Wang Qin saluted Jiang Chen and left.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen stretched and returned to the mansion.
He had to go to Camp 27 tomorrow to bring the nutrient supply to the fallout shelter and ask Han Junhua's opinion in the basement. He had to go to the Sixth Street the day after tomorrow to inspect Chu Nan's work.
He pushed open the door to the living room and saw Yaoyao and Lin Lin lying next to the table. Their heads were together as they mumbled something to each other.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Chen curiously moved closer.
"Ah, big brother is back. Are you done? "Yaoyao turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with a soft smile.
Lin Lin proudly straightened her body and raised her head as she coughed.
"We're researching a great technology. Because it requires a bit of computer knowledge, I have to ask Yao Jiayu classmate —"
Anticipating Lin Lin's usual boasting, Jiang Chen selectively ignored her and looked at the cute Yaoyao.
"Hey! Don't ignore me! "Lin Lin protested, displeased.
"Actually, it's just a matter of converting brainwaves into electrical signal databases. It's not a particularly powerful thing, hehe." Yao Yao smiled shyly.
"Database?" Jiang Chen was confused.
"Sorry, for my matter, it's been hard on you guys."
Sun Xiaorou, in a loose purple dress, walked out from the porch. She lowered her eyes as she apologized.
"No, no, it's not that troublesome." Lin Lin didn't know how to respond to Sun Xiaorou's gratitude as she awkwardly scratched her face.
Although it was Tingting in her body that destroyed the chip and caused Sun Xiaorou to become like this, she also had some responsibility for not being able to control the bug. Even though Rourou had never blamed her, she had always felt apologetic in her heart.
In essence, while Lin Lin usually had a sharp tongue and was a bit arrogant, she was still a very kind person.
"It's not troublesome. Yaoyao also hopes Sister Xiaorou can stand up soon." Yaoyao nodded earnestly.
"Thank you," Sun Xiaorou said gratefully.
[I feel like they have a good relationship. Is it because they lived together for a long time?] Jiang Chen thought as he watched the three of them.
"Thank you as well."
"Eh? Me? "Jiang Chen looked at Xiaorou who was smiling at him in surprise.
"Mhmm. Because of you, I was able to reunite with my sister, meet so many cute friends, and … meet an adorable brother-in-law. "
Her eyes curved into two crescent moons. Her smile was sweet, but Jiang Chen felt that the smile was similar to her sister's.
It was a devilish smile.
Jiang Chen gulped as he shivered involuntarily.
[Fu * k, is she flirting with me?]
…
After dinner, Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao went to the gym on the third floor. There were two virtual reality training chambers there.
Hearing that the virtual reality MMORPG was already developed, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to try it out with Sun Jiao.
was the name of the MMORPG created by Du Yongkang. The content of the game wasn't created by him. A lot of the data and models were already available. What he needed to do was to copy a popular virtual reality MMORPG into the new engine.
Although it sounded simple, the amount of work required was quite large. To complete this project, Du Yongkang specifically asked Jiang Chen for more than ten people who had experience in the game design industry to help.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen increased the difficulty of his work.
To make the MMORPG fit the cultural background of the modern world and the spiritual needs of the people, Jiang Chen downloaded more than ten fantasy web novels and forced them to Du Yongkang so he could design the game as "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
This made things difficult for Du Yongkang. This was the so-called cultural gap. Although Jiang Chen enjoyed reading the novels, Du Yongkang didn't understand the joy in it. He read the millions of words with the mentality of completing the task.
But no matter what, after spending more than half a year's effort, the game's demo version was finally completed. As to whether it was fun or not, Jiang Chen wanted to experience it himself.
