Central Desert Oasis, New Steel City

The beast tide will not attack only one place. The reason why Auto City is the main attack direction is because it is too close to the urban area and can enter the radiation beast's base camp at any time.

But in addition to the Auto City, there are three oases, all within the attack range of this beast wave.

Once these four oases are breached, the beast tide will attack the surrounding eight oases next time, and the next time it will attack the entire central desert.

Just like the spread of cancer cells, if it can be blocked in the early stage, a life can be saved. But once it cannot be blocked, it will be difficult to save it in the late stage.

If the entire central part is turned into a genetic territory, it goes without saying that the two A-level radiation beasts will definitely be upgraded to S-level.

At that time, our Major General Xiao Tong can only take a plane and run away as he did in the normal timeline.

…

The difference between New Steel City and other oases is that other oases have place names, with landmark buildings at most added; but New Steel City is a standard city.

It is not a quick-fire building complex printed by 3D printing technology, but a small steel fortress from the civilized era.

This fortress is the legacy of the empire, and within the fortress is the arsenal of the empire.

In front of a helipad in the fortress, Dong Li and a bunch of oasis officials were waiting, all with complicated expressions.

At this time, a nuclear-powered helicopter was slowly falling into the apron.

As the cabin slowly opened, a man and two women walked out. The man was very aura, and his eyes swept over them. Everyone felt that they were being targeted by some kind of wild beast, and it seemed that their lives would be in danger at any time.

The last time it gave them this feeling was the Magic Mountain.

Dong Li greeted him with a complicated look on his face, "You are welcome to come and inspect, Mr. Advisor."

That's right, the senior engineer was promoted again, from an ordinary military advisor to a senior military advisor, directly promoted to a special military advisor with the rank of brigadier general.

To put it simply, the position of Magic Mountain back then is the position of Gao Gong now.

"Chief of Staff Dong, we meet again," the senior engineer led the ponytailed girl down in a very gentlemanly manner, and then said.

"Yes, we meet again," Dong Li said with emotion.

Youdao is a scholar who has been separated for three days, and looks at each other with admiration. The other party has done this perfectly.

When they met for the first time, he only thought that the other party was young. After the second meeting, he felt that the other party had great potential. After the third meeting, he became his boss.

The senior engineer smiled and pushed Du Zhaodi out, "From now on, Director Du will be my plenipotentiary representative. She will be responsible for all defense work in the new steel city, including military production."

Du Zhaodi also said unceremoniously: "I will transfer some technical backbones from the Equipment Research Institute to help. I have to say that compared to the factory, your production efficiency is really too low."

Dong Li was slightly startled.

The first thing a new official does when he takes office is that he asks someone to supervise the work. This is not surprising.

But judging from what the other party means, does he not intend to stay here?

As if he understood what the other party was thinking, the senior engineer said directly: "I will go to another oasis to inspect in a while, and I don't have time to stay in one place for a long time."

"What, do you have any objections?"

"No, I don't dare."

What followed was a series of inspections. Du Zhaodi's eyes were fierce and full of firepower. Not to mention making small moves, these middle and high-level officials were gradually unable to answer even many technical questions.

As one of the few oases with weapons production capabilities, New Steel City inherited the imperial military industry. However, the standards of military industry back then were not the same as today's weapons standards, which caused many machines to stop working directly, resulting in huge production waste.

Dong Li's face gradually turned ugly.

According to Director Du, even if you just put more thought into reusing these devices, you can at least double your production capacity.

So stupid!

Dong Li completely ignored it. He was also part of the stupidity, and he was the biggest part of it.

Looking at the managers being trained like grandsons by Du Zhaodi, the senior engineer quietly pulled the Chief of Staff Dong, and the two came to a place where they could communicate quietly.

"Sir Dong, how are you using the two new pieces of equipment?"

"Very good," Dong Li was full of praise for the two pieces of equipment, the [Open Version Virtual Projection] and the [Manual Nerve Disruptor], even though he had complex senses for senior engineers.

"I still have a lot of equipment information of this type. Have you considered cooperating?" Senior Engineer paused. "I mean, would you be interested in cooperating privately?"

Dong Li's spirits immediately rose and he said quickly: "I'm interested, very interested. Please tell me in detail."

Working for others is not as good as being your own boss.

The reason why the military production in New Steel City is so poor is that, firstly, the management level is indeed not high, and secondly, Chief Dong is too busy making money for his family and has basically no management.

The senior engineer has a lot of high-quality blueprints on his hands, such as [Quadruped Robot], [Microcomputer Finger Tiger], and [Feeling Nerve Accelerator]. Such weapons and equipment can no longer keep up with his pace.

There is also a type of equipment with a unique style, such as [Happy Rocker], [Advanced Neuro Massage Chair], and [Human Pleasure Operator].

Although their names are weird, the technical content is actually not low, and if these equipments can be sold in the city that never sleeps, they can even make more money than the weapon blueprints.

No matter how big the weapons market is, it is only a niche. No one likes to fight every day. The LSP market is the kingly route.

The senior engineers plan to outsource these decommissioned and informal equipment and invest the money earned in the development of high-tech products.

After all, even if the bet is a high-level drawing, it cannot be made without the corresponding high-end equipment and advanced production lines.

In his opinion, New Steel City is a good outsourcing target.

As for sales channels, he plans to use the dark web.

A certain philosopher once said that the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

When Dong Li and Gao Gong returned hand in hand, Commander Dong felt like a spring breeze, with relaxed steps and a happy mood. Those who didn't know it thought he had gone to a major health care hospital.

And his attitude towards senior engineers has changed again. He is no longer jealous but fearful, too diligent to be diligent, like a licking dog.

This surprised other senior officials. You know, Chief Dong is a person with a temper and is known for being strict.

Du Zhaodi didn't notice the strange behavior of the two men. She was changing her indifference and chatting cordially with an old worker.

Judging from his appearance, this machinist is at least 60 years old. His right hand is an old-fashioned manipulator with no fingers. It is replaced by more than a dozen implanted precision processing tools.

This would be a worker from the Imperial Age, as much of the factory's precision machining has been replaced by unmanned robotic arms.

Judging from Du Zhaodi's attitude, this old worker's technical level should be very high.

The old worker has a straight back, neither humble nor arrogant, and has a very special temperament of a civilized person.

This kind of temperament is rare in the crazy and cruel radiation zone.

"It's that old stubborn again. If they weren't the only ones who knew how to manipulate those old guys, they would have been fired," a manager complained dissatisfied.

"Are there many such stubborn old men?" Gao Gong touched his chin, suddenly becoming very interested.

"The consultant is not trying to recruit them," the middle-level manager was startled. "These people are all stubborn. They rely on their skills and are so arrogant that even we can't talk about them."

"Is it."

Ordinary people can't be convinced, but what about myself, the 'descendant of the empire'?

It makes sense that he is of the blood of the late emperor and is determined to restore the country and recruit some technical personnel to complete the great cause.

By the way, what was the late emperor's name?

…

Time was in a hurry, so the senior engineer just made a brief inspection and was ready to leave.

The real work still has to be done by the ponytail girl.

On the tarmac, the senior engineer looked at Du Zhaodi, then at Desila, and said seriously: "Protect her."

"Unless I die first!" Desila said solemnly.

The nuclear-powered helicopter soon turned into a small black dot in mid-air.

And Du Zhaodi rolled up her sleeves heroically.

"Come on, Desila, we're going to get to work."

…

Gao Gong's next goal is an oasis called "Entertainment City". This name sounds inappropriate to many people. Its predecessor was a red light district in the civilized era.

Just like the new steel city, the senior engineer only inspected it once and then left. Instead of staying to learn foreign languages, he requisitioned a large amount of simulated equipment.

The equipment will be sent to where he is going.

This place isn't the last horse farm oasis.

As a rare oasis where a tribe of scavengers and mechanical hunters could live in harmony, Gao Gong felt that sending tribal elders like little women would be more convincing.

Cowboy Apu will help her. He is the son of a large rancher on the horse farm and is well-known in the local area.

Their job is also very simple, recruiting soldiers.

Fighting against the beast tide is one thing, but in the name of fighting against the beast tide, Gao Gong is even more concerned about expanding his team.

Soon, Gao Gong arrived at his destination.

A very ordinary motel, surrounded by barbed wire, about the size of five football fields, with a gas station in front and a flea market in the back

There were five dirty trucks parked in the parking space at the door, with blood stains on their tires.

The footholds between these oases are usually independently contracted by force providers. The better ones include weapons shops, bars, and prosthetic modification workshops. The last one is jokingly called a shampoo room by the mechanical hunters.

The worse ones only provide food and drink services.

This 'Wilde Motel' is a mid-range hotel, with a car repair shop and a weapons shop, but no entertainment facilities.

Since the beginning of the war, a large number of remains of radioactive beasts have been stored here.

Those crazy biological warriors were also transported here after the war.

Including members of the Biological Mutations Society, they arrived earlier than Senior Engineer.

Oh, yes, there is also a big orange.

Daju is even fatter than when we met before.

Ever since the news came that Gao Gong had killed Mo Shan, Daju felt like the sky was falling.

How could a wealthy person like her turn around and become a rebel?

He hasn't paid yet! !

Feeling that there was no hope in her life, she turned her grief into appetite and ate and drank heavily. In just a few days, she gained more than ten pounds.

It walked tremblingly and with rippling fat in front of Gao Gong. Thousands of words finally converged into one word.

"Meow~~"
