Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 211 Prepare for a rainy day

The sudden changes in Qingyuan City were indeed unexpected.

To be honest, what Zhou Yuanqiang had thought about before was just how to clean up Qingyuan City after he was fully prepared, and blow up the boss that embarrassed him over and over again. But he didn't expect that things would turn out now.

After a change, the number of zombies unknowingly recovered or became even larger.

From the current point of view, there is no abnormality in the gathering of zombies in Qingyuan City, which can be regarded as the reason why this abnormality was discovered relatively early. But who can guarantee that they will not suddenly attack like the last time?

The zombies in Qingyuan City, in Zhou Yuanqiang's opinion, Qingyuan City is like a cup, and the zombies are the water in the cup. As long as the water is full, it will naturally leak out and form an attack against humans. At present, we are not investigating why the zombies change.

There are many reasons, but thinking about how to deal with possible crises.

Weak countries have no diplomacy. This relationship can also be used in settlements.

Think about it, during the Qing Dynasty, the wars between the great powers were always on the mainland. After a war, the people who died the most were not the soldiers on both sides, but the civilians in the war zone. The ones who suffered the most were also not the warring parties.

Both sides, but the people in the war zone.

After a war, villages became no man's land and were leveled. Small towns were destroyed and houses collapsed. People had nowhere to go and nowhere to escape. Their lives and property were under threat at any time. Really

Calculated, the losses in the war zone are often several times, or even more than ten times, that of the warring parties.

The first time the wasteland settlement experienced a zombie attack was at the gate of the settlement. The losses at that time were that the newly built wall was in ruins, and the tents where tens of thousands of people lived were turned into a pile of rags. The food that was not taken away in time,

Contaminated by zombies.

Are these not the additional losses caused by the settlement becoming a war zone?

Now that the wall of the wasteland settlement has been completed, it can stop a wave of millions of zombies. With many long-range weapons and the coordination of fighter planes, there is no need to fear the destructive power of zombies. But Zhou Yuanqiang does not want to put the war zone right in front of the settlement.

Not safe at all.

Why do you have to wait for the zombies to attack? Instead of attacking the zombies yourself?

Zhou Yuanqiang has considered this issue many times. Before, he was not fully prepared and was unable to pose a threat to the zombies in the city. In other words, the casualties required to capture the city were too huge, far beyond what Zhou Yuanqiang could bear. Based on the analysis of the department

According to the analysis results, at least more than 30,000 people must be sacrificed and hundreds of fighter planes must be sacrificed to regain Qingyuan City.

Zhou Yuanqiang could not bear such a heavy loss, so he has been working hard to improve the armed forces of the settlement and try to reserve more strength to reduce the losses.

But from now on, it seems that zombies will not give such a chance to the wasteland settlement. Judging from the way they are surging on the streets, they may break out of the city at any time, gather outside and rush towards the settlement. Therefore, it is not possible at all.

Would give the wasteland settlement too much time to prepare.

Although I didn't want to put the war zone around the settlement, I had to guard against zombie raids, so after holding a meeting with the ministers, the arsenal began to produce a large number of landmines, which are simple to produce but very effective for defense.

Weapons. To this end, Zhou Yuanqiang flew to the United States and signed another contract with DuPont for the purchase of gunpowder.

The production of landmines is really simple. With the capabilities of the arsenal, tens of thousands of mines can be produced a day with full strength.

It is impossible to bury landmines around settlements. It would be too troublesome to clean them up later. Therefore, when the landmines were produced, a few minor changes were made and they were left exposed on the ground.

Zombies have no consciousness. They don't know what they are. They will just keep moving forward and forward. Even the mines placed just like this can be used to defend against them. And there is another

The advantage is that the mines can be easily removed in the future and can also be recycled.

The lesson learned last time was indeed a big one. No one wanted to suffer the pain of long-range firepower again. So when the arsenal produced more than 200,000, they began to turn to pursuit guns and recoilless rifles, and used them in large quantities.

Equip it to the troops and install it on the wall of the fence.

As for howitzers, cannons, and self-propelled guns that are more powerful and have longer range, they are still trying to be manufactured. However, with the technical strength of the arsenal, it will take some time to overcome some of these difficulties.

With the modern rear area, it is convenient. Like artillery, there is no need for research at all, and there is no need for knowledgeable researchers. In modern times, you only need to go online and look for information. These old-fashioned artillery design drawings are very popular on the Internet.

Easy to find. Even the main artillery design drawings from the 1980s are collected by many military fans, so it is not difficult to find them.

Therefore, what the arsenal needs to overcome is to understand the design drawings thoroughly and try to manufacture them.

But the manufacturing of artillery is not simple. For many key parts, the arsenal sometimes cannot meet the accuracy, which always leads to failure. However, compared to manufacturing missiles, artillery is still much simpler. You can win even missiles, as long as you give more

It won't be too far away for various types of artillery to be manufactured and put into service in a short time.

Speaking of artillery, armor strength is also involved.

Like manufacturing a tank, the most critical thing is its fire control system. This is not a problem that can be overcome in the wasteland settlement. Zhou Yuanqiang deliberately obtained the older fire control system design drawings from modern times, but the fire control system will be subdivided.

There are several functional systems, and each functional system involves more subdivided electronic equipment. It is not an easy task to find all these confidential design drawings. At least Zhou Yuanqiang has not yet completed the collection.

Zhou Yuanqiang was thinking a little. If it didn't work out, he would go to a developing country and buy a complete set of design drawings with money. Many small countries or individual researchers would be very happy to sell old-fashioned fire control systems like this and spend some money on them.

.Anyway, the old fire control system is not a top secret.

On the other hand, tanks are definitely monsters made of steel.

The demand for steel in the settlement has always been the highest. No matter how hard Zhou Yuanqiang tried, it was not enough. Think about it, at this time, who dares to build this war machine made entirely of steel? The aluminum alloy of the fighter is already

Zhou Yuanqiang was so tired that he wanted to die. If he were to build a tank... Oh my God, one tank would be made of thirty or forty tons of steel. How would he do it?

It is for this reason that the settlement did not put tanks and armored vehicles on the development plan until it had a stable source of steel.

If this is simply the case, it is not very safe, at least that's what Zhou Yuanqiang thinks. With the abilities of special infected people, who knows whether there will be more powerful ones? Especially the jet monster. If he is determined to regain Qingyuan City, he must face it.

For this kind of zombie, the long-range type that is most lethal to humans.

At this time, Zhou Yuanqiang was sitting in a coffee shop in City S. After taking a sip of the coffee that he didn't like very much, he asked: "Dr. Du, do you think it is possible to design this kind of bulletproof vest?"

?The price is not a problem, and once the sample test passes, I will place an order for 20,000 sets. And your design fee will not be a problem."

Sitting in front of Zhou Yuanqiang was a man in his fifties, whom Zhou Yuanqiang called Dr. Du. He was looking down at the information Zhou Yuanqiang handed him. Hearing Zhou Yuanqiang's words, he raised his head with a smile and said:

"To be honest, this design requirement is very unreasonable, but as an internationally renowned security manufacturing company, I think it is nothing more than turning the body armor into a waterproof jacket, covering the whole body except the head.

That’s it, it’s not difficult.”

Dr. Du hesitated for a moment and said: "But you should understand that if you want body armor to be able to protect against corrosion of this intensity, I am afraid that some materials will be added to the traditional body armor. And the coverage area is like this.

Such a large body armor will be three times the size of a traditional body armor in terms of area alone. Therefore, if it is really designed, the final price may be seven to eight times more expensive than an ordinary body armor."

An ordinary bulletproof vest may cost around US$500 for a domestic one, while it will cost around US$800 for a foreign one.

According to Dr. Du's analysis, in terms of materials alone, the materials used for body armor that can protect against knives and bullets will be different. Moreover, the area covered is too wide. Except for the head, almost the whole body is covered by the body armor.

Under protection. Calculated, the price of this specially requested body armor has reached an astonishing US$6,000 for 20,000 pieces, which is a large order of more than US$100 million.

But Zhou Yuanqiang had no choice. For the lives of more soldiers, he had to pay even if the price doubled.

Zhou Yuanqiang's plan is very simple. When zombies fight with the crowd, the most worrying thing for humans is infection. Once you are scratched by a zombie, it is equivalent to having your life marked by the God of Death. It only takes a few hours.

After a certain amount of infection time, it will turn into a zombie.

And a battle with zombies cannot be without casualties. Many times if you are not careful, you will be injured by the claws of zombies. When zombies attacked settlements before, half of the tens of thousands of people who died were injured.

After being infected, before actually turning into a zombie, he was painfully shot in the head one by one by the soldiers, ending his life.

At that time, Zhou Yuanqiang saw that his former comrade had to cry and beg his comrades to kill him because his skin was slightly scratched by zombies. This cruel method made Zhou Yuanqiang almost afraid to watch it at the time.

, but from his position, he had to look at it.

Thousands of soldiers, just like this, closed their eyes in relief under the gunpoints of their teammates and comrades.

In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, Zhou Yuanqiang used his own steel armor to think of the defense issues of soldiers. Naturally, body armor came into Zhou Yuanqiang's sight. However, body armor only protects the upper body and chest area, and does not protect the chest at all.

It does not meet the requirements of the end of the world.

And this kind of order of tens of thousands of sets is obviously impossible to be completed by domestic bulletproof vest manufacturers. Because of domestic regulations, Zhou Yuanqiang is not an approved unit. Of course, no one can produce it for him. Some private manufacturers

They had no way to overcome the problem of server-wide defense, and Zhou Yuanqiang was not reassured by the materials used, so they had to find a French company.

What's more, when compared with the income from conquering the entire Qingyuan City, more than 100 million U.S. dollars is nothing. Think about it, just the gold in the bank, the raw materials in the entire city, and various commodities, etc. It is simply not enough.

There is no way to calculate it. Even if the gold is collected, it will be enough to recoup the investment of more than 100 million US dollars. It is definitely a good deal.

After thinking about this, Zhou Yuanqiang did not hesitate and said: "Dr. Du, I will leave it to you to help me handle this matter. Don't worry, this is just the first design fee. If this matter is completed, you will get it when you get it."

When the goods are shipped, another design remuneration will not disappoint you, Dr. Du."

As he spoke, he gently pushed a check for one million US dollars in front of Dr. Du.

Of course, Dr. Du would not refuse such a good thing. The commission from this order alone is worth millions of dollars. What’s more, the young man in front of him is also generous, with one million dollars. In fact, an order like this

, as long as you submit it to the company, you don’t need to design it yourself. The company will naturally design and manufacture it according to the customer’s requirements. After all, this is an order of more than 100 million US dollars.

As for the fact that this customer is an individual rather than an organization approved by the mainland government, Dr. Du has no control over this. For a security manufacturing company in France, these are also outside the scope of their consideration.

Just thinking about the problem of picking up the goods, Dr. Du frowned slightly and said: "The mainland has controls on this. It is impossible to transport tens of thousands of sets of these bulletproof vests." He said: "Mr. Zhou, you also know that we

The company is a powerful security manufacturing company and has some influence in France. But it is impossible to influence the government just for this order. You should understand the meaning of this."

In this world, if Zhou Yuanqiang was asked to break into Area 51 in the United States, he believed that he did not have the ability. But when it came to transportation, Zhou Yuanqiang laughed and said: "Dr. Du, don't worry about this. The transportation problem will be solved by

I will take care of it. You only need to be responsible for manufacturing these body armors, and I will personally go to France to pick them up."

Dr. Du looked at Zhou Yuanqiang with some surprise. He couldn't understand why he was such a big shot since he had such customs capabilities, but why didn't he just order it directly in the country, instead of going to his own company with a lot of trouble?

But thinking about the commission he had received and the reward after the work was completed, Dr. Du put the check on the table into his pocket, took a sip of coffee and said: "The coffee is good. If it goes according to Mr. Zhou's wishes, then, Mr. Zhou, although

Don’t worry, just wait to pick up the goods, I will definitely keep an eye on them personally and there won’t be any quality issues.”

Zhou Yuanqiang smiled and said, "Excuse me, Dr. Du."
