Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Producing a 35mm grenade requires 150 grams each of metal and gunpowder. With the current raw materials on hand, we're short about a ton of metal, which means we can produce around six thousand six hundred grenades.

Production efficiency is about two hundred grenades per hour, so we can produce four thousand eight hundred per day. No need to worry about delivery.

After Lin Feng finished introducing his product, the heads of Dawn Village present all showed expressions of shock.

Unlike the dozens of grenades in their backpacks, the quantity of ammunition Lin Feng described was in the thousands!

A few dozen grenades are only good for personal self-defense.

But thousands of grenades could arm a small to medium-sized force, enough firepower for a company of a hundred men.

Although it's only a one-time use, given the current volatile situation in Oasis Town and the lack of strength in Dawn Village, it's the best way to save themselves.

As long as they have enough grenades, even if they can't win the final victory, they can at least defend against enemies and minimize the losses caused by the unrest.

Moreover, if the Li family wins afterward, everyone will be happy. If they ultimately fail and flee, it's another question whether Dawn Village will follow them.

In fact, the three villages that launched the rebellion are not monolithic.

Besides the Li family in Farm Village, who are staunch rebels, only Motorcycle Village is willing to join this long-standing rebellion.

But before he left, he instructed his trusted subordinates not to participate too deeply in this rebellion.

Dawn Village, without the power to protect itself, could face the disaster of annihilation regardless of victory or defeat if it gets involved.

That's why Cheng Shan directly knelt down after being threatened and enticed by Lin Feng, choosing to pay to avoid trouble.

But now, Lin Feng has given them a way to safely survive the crisis.

Calming down, Cheng Shan handed the shotgun he was holding to his subordinate, then walked forward empty-handed and looked up at the two-meter-tall giant:

"May I ask, Mr. Lin, what do you need in exchange?"

"Points, or the photovoltaic panels and brushless motors we developed?"

Lin Feng reached into his backpack with a large hand, grabbed several grenades, and threw them to the man in front of him:

"The bottom level of the Vault-Tec Workshop ruins is a sealed environment. I've tested them. They're all intact and powerful enough to kill a Tier 1 mid-stage evolver. Even those wearing power armor can be breached, and they can also inflict some damage on late-stage evolvers."

"But you also know that all grenades are restricted items. Even in the Guild, only internally registered hunters are qualified to exchange for a limited amount of grenades."

"From the Guild's limited-sale list, a grenade of roughly the same power costs one hundred points. Mine is a 35mm general-purpose grenade, with an effective kill range of within two meters and a range of up to a hundred meters. I'm only selling it to you for two hundred points each, isn't that reasonable?"

After listening to Lin Feng's simple analysis and price, Cheng Shan pondered to himself.

The production of grenade launchers is very simple. The village also has a small solar furnace that can melt iron at high temperatures, forging a batch of steel pipes of the same caliber, plus a firing device and a recoil spring, and you can make a simple automatic grenade launcher.

This kind of area-of-effect weapon doesn't require much shooting accuracy or service life. Like shotguns, anyone with a little technical knowledge can make it by hand.

Moreover, many large-caliber rifles in the village also have grenade launcher attachments.

In this way, the problem of use doesn't need to be considered, leaving only the most difficult problem to solve: ammunition reserves.

And the price Lin Feng offered was two hundred points.

If you calculate carefully, a thousand grenades would require two hundred thousand points. The price is indeed a bit expensive, equivalent to a Tier 20 Rockhorn Horse primal source.

When Cheng Shan was young, he took a pilgrimage caravan to the Holy City and saw the price of 35mm standard grenades in the weapon shops there, selling for only one hundred and fifty points each, and with quantity discounts.

For a large order of a thousand grenades, the price could be reduced to just over a hundred, which is quite cheap.

Of course, you must have a Tier 2 evolved identity registered on file to be eligible to purchase grenades.

Because of this, the price of small grenades on the black market actually has a very high premium, far exceeding the listed price.

Now, two hundred points each is not considered expensive.

In addition, with the arrival of the rebellion, the prices of evolved meat and weapons and equipment are rising…

Spending two hundred thousand points to buy peace of mind that you can hold in your own hands is actually very necessary.

Under the same circumstances, spending two hundred thousand to hire a Tier 2 early-stage evolver for protection may not be as effective as a thousand grenades.

After all, the former is unable to be everywhere, unable to take care of all aspects of the entire Dawn Camp, and is not subject to the employer's control and arrangement, while the latter is real lethality.

Oasis Town, a remote and poor place, is full of unruly people. The dark muzzle of a cannon is more deterrent than the identity of a Tier 2 expert.

Although Dawn Village has been earning only average money in recent years, not as much as the Li family in Farm Village, it is much better than Motorcycle Village and has some assets in hand.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shan held the grenade he had received in his hand, gritted his teeth, and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, two hundred it is. We need a thousand, but can the payment wait? We have to sell a batch of goods to the Guild first to collect two hundred thousand points."

A thousand grenades would require at least fifty grenade launchers, and Dawn Village would have to buy a batch from the Guild.

At the same time, there are not two hundred thousand points in the account, and a batch of photovoltaic panels and motors must be sold at a low price to collect the transaction price.

Lin Feng smiled:

"Why let the Guild earn a double profit? If you don't have enough points, just pay with photovoltaic panels and motors."

"In addition to the sixty photovoltaic panels and four motor systems previously compensated, I also need two hundred photovoltaic panels, twenty motors, and four hundred sets of batteries."

"Photovoltaic panels are forty thousand points, motors are twenty thousand, plus forty thousand for the batteries, which is one hundred thousand points."

"For the remaining one hundred thousand points, you can use a heavy-duty truck and five transport vehicles to deduct the amount."

"This leaves a balance of twenty-five thousand."

"If possible, I would like to use them to exchange for ten members from your village, engineers and mechanics, to be responsible for the daily maintenance of my fleet."

Hearing this, Cheng Shan's pupils shrank, and the sun behind the armor became dazzling.

As the village chief of Dawn Village, in order to ensure the development of the village's industries, he has recruited a large number of technical personnel over the years. He even hired several employees who had been laid off from large factories in Holy City, as well as various means of production.

This was to ensure that the village's industries would not be eliminated.

At the very least, the various parts transported to Holy City could have some competitiveness. The city dwellers might not look favorably upon them, but the surrounding small factions and towns, as well as settlements in other regions, would still be willing to purchase Oasis products at lower prices.

The reason for this was that Oasis Town's labor costs were lower. A meager profit and a bite to eat were enough to hire a large number of skilled workers.

Another point was that these technical personnel had no way to escape Oasis Town. Without the ability to survive outside the oasis, they would have to flee alone to Holy City, thousands of kilometers away, to find a place to live.

For hundreds of years, through a closed environment, knowledge and technology have been continuously passed down and iterated, enabling industries to flourish, which in turn has created new ways for Dawn Village to make money.

In the form of labor dispatch, skilled technicians were sent to Holy City to earn points or advanced electrical technology.

Although nominally it was labor dispatch, in reality it was human trafficking, equivalent to the buying and selling of high-level slaves.

Moreover, as the market demand in Oasis Town approached saturation and the overall industrial scale reached its limit, the money earned from labor export was growing even faster than manufacturing production.

In recent years, during internal high-level meetings, the calls to shift the main business direction from producing electric vehicle parts to cultivating skilled technical trades have become increasingly loud.

The transaction request made by the Tier 2 powerhouse in front of him at this moment made Cheng Shan even more convinced that exporting technical trades was the future path for Dawn Village.

After all, in addition to factories, from the royal cities of first-class forces to convoys of hundreds of people, all needed repairmen for their transportation vehicles.

The latest and most complete novels are at Six/Nine/Book/Bar!

This will be a brand new blue ocean market.

So he immediately said:

"Lord Lin, the remaining 25,000 points are only enough to buy five ninth-level enhanced repairmen."

"It takes at least two years to train a skilled repairman. The food expenses alone are as high as 2,000 points. Adding the teacher's lessons and repair materials, the cost must be at least 4,000 points…"

"We divide technicians into three levels according to their ability. Level 3 is a two-year apprentice who can repair the solar panels, motors, and batteries of electric vehicles, ensuring that the electric vehicle can be driven. The price is only 5,000 points."

"Level 2 is a skilled worker with more than six years of experience. Not only can they repair electric vehicles, but they can also repair other parts, such as car air conditioners and refrigerators. They have strong hands-on skills and can also assemble new motor systems and debug machines. The price is 20,000 points."

"The highest level, Level 1, are all old employees with thirty years of experience, and they are also Tier 1 evolvers with a lifespan of up to 200 years. They have the strongest technical skills and can repair most electrical appliances, even build mobile castles, and develop some electric weapons and equipment, with a wide range of knowledge."

"However, at this level, we don't force them to leave. If they voluntarily go to other forces, we only charge a symbolic transfer fee of 50,000 points."

After listening to Cheng Shan's introduction, Lin Feng realized that Dawn Village had established a mature technical worker export industry with a clear division of value.

The lowest level, Level 3 apprentices, are ordinary repairmen who only know how to repair basic electric vehicles and have no other experience. They will be sold to some production or repair factories, or small convoys with only a dozen vehicles. They are equivalent to cheap, mass-produced, quick products.

Just like the pigs in the vocational and technical schools in his previous life.

Level 2 skilled workers have been in Dawn Village for more than six years, which is a whole wasteland year. They already have rich repair experience. The problems of electric vehicles are no longer difficult for them, and they have begun to expand their technical scope.

But the price is also expensive, selling for 20,000 points, which is four times that of an ordinary Level 3 apprentice.

However, it is the most cost-effective.

As for the Level 1 master craftsmen, they have 30 years of repair experience, plus the identity of an evolver, which is equivalent to the professor level in Dawn Village. They are all objects supported by the village.

This level is equivalent to a formal villager, with certain independent rights and interests, and naturally will not be sold as pigs.

If you want to impress them, unless you offer a satisfactory condition, you must also pay a transfer fee of 50,000 points.

But this price is actually not high.

A master craftsman with 30 years of experience and a remaining lifespan of hundreds of years can at least bring out hundreds of Level 3 apprentices and a large number of skilled workers.

So if you have to make a choice, you must choose a Level 1 master craftsman to join the team to lay the technical foundation for a future first-class force.

For example, another Tier 2 evolver in the Salvation Army, a tall woman named Marie, is the team's mechanical repairer, and her status is extremely high, second only to Bai Ye.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately said:

"About how many Level 1 workers are there in the village?"

Cheng Shan hesitated for a moment, facing the pressure of the Tier 2 powerhouse, and slowly said:

"Not many, about thirty or forty people."

Lin Feng nodded silently. It was a little less than he expected, but it didn't matter.

Then he looked up at the crowd at the gate and said loudly to them:

"Level 1 master craftsmen, as long as they are willing to come, I will help them rise three levels on the spot, and guarantee promotion to Tier 2 evolver within six years."

"Please rest assured, I have more than one copy of the Level 20 source quality in my hand, and following a gun-wielding esper under the age of thirty, as long as you wholeheartedly contribute to the team, the power, status, and technical knowledge you can obtain in the future are not comparable to shrinking in Oasis Town."

"And I have a plan to build a mobile fortress within three years, whoever is willing to come can be fully responsible!"

After Lin Feng said this, there was an uproar.

Whether it is the improvement of strength, or power and status, or even technology and reputation, they all hit their hearts.

Especially the latter, for a technical expert with pursuits, is more attractive than the evolution level.

The lost alien technology from the Old Earth period…

A fortress city built with one's own hands…

This is an honor that will last forever, which in their opinion is more important than a thousand years of life.

Before Lin Feng and Cheng Shan could continue to discuss the details of the transaction, several members of Dawn Village behind him stood up and wanted to join Lin Feng's command.

Lin Feng smiled and held out a finger:

"Sorry, funds are limited, I only recruit one person, so please let the member with the strongest technical ability among those who are willing to come over, or you are willing to redeem yourself and pay a transfer fee of 50,000 points."

Saying that, Lin Feng, who completed the pie in the sky in a few words and realized the change of status, said to Cheng Shan:

"Other requirements remain unchanged. The heavy truck transport vehicle exchanged for 50,000 points will be exchanged for the transfer fee of a Level 1 worker."

"With the remaining 25,000 points, I want five apprentices. The specific personnel arrangements will be made by the Level 1 worker after he comes."

Lin Feng patted the shoulder of the village chief of Dawn Village:

"I will send you a thousand grenades in five hours."

"As for now, send back my motor and battery, including the compensation promised before."
