Chapter 689 Spending money like running water
In the laboratory, when she saw the message conveyed by the petty intelligent brain, Ji Ya smiled and said, "Head, you really think about it." Then she left the laboratory directly and went to the command room. Zero was a little surprised. Ji Yaming, who pushed the door in, was just an ordinary capable person, but the momentum at this moment was enough to stand side by side with the high level. Dr. Ji Ya's eyes were shining and said, "It's really a crazy idea to mass produce the eighth order, but I like it. But now these things are not enough to support this level of development. I need a complete set of bio modulation systems and assistants! Give me enough resources and I will give you an army!"
"I'll figure it out." Zero-pointed.
A summoner ran in and said, "Report, Lord Oran of Ista is coming."
"Oh, it's so fast." This is another place that makes zero surprises.
Ji Ya went down knowingly and didn't forget to remind Zero what she needed before leaving. A moment later, Oran was led by the soldiers to the command room. This Ista's watchman still looked like an office girl. She entered the room alone. When the soldiers closed the door, there were only her and zero left in the room.
Zero and Oran shook hands to show their friendship. After a moment of greeting, Oran said directly, "It's surprising that after more than a month, the place where we met was in the Cannon Fortress. Lord Zero, I have to say that you are indeed a miracle person.
"It's just luck." Zero smiled perfectly and pointed to the front of the fortress in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Look at the wall components we are replacing now. These things were supposed to be used to upgrade the fortress next year. The papal chamber is not full of useless people, and they have also noticed that Cannon's defense system is even less than the changes of the times. If we don't attack now, we will face a real steel fortress.
"Luck is also a kind of strength, and when you hit Cannon at this time, the time is also very accurate." Oran straightened his body slightly and said, "According to the information we got, Sauron is already mobilized the army to fight. However, from the mobilization and assembly of the army to the equipment of various supplies and logistics, by the time they cross this bloody road, I'm afraid it will be winter. Winter should be more favorable for you in terms of climate in this season.
"Maybe." Zero looked at Oran and wanted to see something from this beautiful woman. Oran seems to say a piece of information casually, but it contains a lot of meanings. The counterattack of the papal chamber is not surprising. It is surprising that Oran still has time to master their movements so accurately, so it is certain that the person standing behind Ista, or the organization, should be in the papal chamber, otherwise how could there be such accurate information flowing out.
"Well, don't look at me like this. The adult who sponsored us is a big man in the Pope's Hall. He has seen the premise of cooperation between the two sides for you to win Ista in such a short time. One month later, ten days later, he will secretly come to talk to you in detail. Oran smiled.
Zero frowned and said, "If it's slow, it's a month? This time is not appropriate. In case this adult comes and happens to catch up with the counterattack of the Pope's Hall, I can't guarantee his safety.
"Don't worry, it will take two months for the Pope's Hall to arrive here as soon as possible. The time just now was only theoretical, but in fact, people always have accidents like this and that, don't they? Oran has a deep understanding.
Zero showed a relieved expression: "Are you also going to participate?"
Olan was surprised that it was her turn. She sighed softly, "Lord Zero, I'm very glad that we are friends rather than enemies. Otherwise, we will be very distressed. Yes, we have secretly entered the mainland. Soon, Jesse will cause some trouble for the Pope's Hall. Since they want to transfer from the army, we don't care about such a delicious cake, don't we?
"I can expect that Sauron will probably be furious." Zero laughed softly.
"I'd like to see it with my own eyes, but unfortunately I can't do it." Oran said.
Zero shook his head and said, "There will be a day when we enter Rome, you can enjoy it slowly."
seemed to say a joke, but from this sentence, Riolan heard a plain but unquestionable confidence. Oran returned to normal after a while. She lowered her head to hide the unnatural expression on her face. When she raised her head again, she was still the Oran. But Zero took all this in his eyes, and he sighed in his heart. Although standing on the opposite side of the Pope's Hall, in the face of the huge thing of Rome, Oran and others are actually not confident enough to attack Rome. Especially after Ulson's death, if it hadn't been for his arrival, and if he hadn't won two beautiful battles, the Ista rebels might have found a place to hide. No one knows when he will regain the courage to come out to fight against Rome.
"After talking about business, let's talk about the deal now." Oran showed a charming smile. At this moment, she was no longer the three giants of Ista, but more like a shrewd businesswoman.
Zero was also stunned. To be honest, now Oran is much more charming than when he met on Ista. It seems that when it comes to trading, her whole body will shine. Zero laughed in his heart and nodded and said, "I'm very happy. I happen to have a batch of things here that I want to change into money or equipment as soon as possible."
The following afternoon, Zero and Oran fought a life-and-death war on the resources and prices of the transaction, and finally achieved a relatively satisfactory result.
The main resource produced by Zero is the nearly 100 tons of crude oil, which plays a limited role in the hands of Zero. However, Ista could be directly used in his own secret factory, so Oran took it at a price slightly higher than the market price for 550,000 gold coins. The extra 50,000 yuan is used as a little fund to support zero.
Originally, Oran thought that the most ** to take out zero was crude oil, but in fact it was the same. In the following list, from the special machine guns for paladin mecha to the iron of cloud iron and the emerald forest produced in the Eternal Mountains are general goods. There are many categories and a large number of things in this part. But the total is only about 300,000 gold coins.
But when Ling Sui threw out the parts of the Griffin Knight and the mecha of the empty angel, Oran was really shocked. At this time, she learned that these things came from the military base in Tucson Town. They had also investigated the military base before. There was indeed an arsenal in it, but the information Ista received was that they mainly produced all kinds of firearms and ammunition for the Cannon fortress.
Unexpectedly, the arsenal also secretly produced the parts of the Griffin Knight, and there were a large number of them. As for the outer mecha of those empty angels, it was an accidental accident. Ista knew that the Pope's Hall was conducting research on these four generations of mecha, but he didn't expect that they could carry out small-scale mass production. Whether it is scientific and technological information or strategic intelligence, the significance of these foreign mecha representatives is not simple.
Although Tucson produces only a zero component of the Griffin Knight, it is not strange to this kind of mecha Ista. In those secret factories in Ista, the structure of the Griffin Knight has been studied and analyzed for a long time. Oran did not hesitate to sweep away the zero parts of all the griffin knights. After bringing these things back, as long as he assembles and installs the control system by himself, it means that Ista also has his own griffin knights.
Olan, the outer mecha of those empty angels, does not miss it. From the outer mecha, Ista can reversely interpret the production process of these mecha, so as to infer the performance of some empty angels. This will have a great effect on the countermeasure research against empty angels in the future. What's more, these outer mecha are light and thin, and if they are properly processed, they can also be made into excellent tactical armor.
So Olan bought these two parts for 1.3 million. The price far beyond crude oil also surprised Zero. After that, he said that Tucson's arsenal could continue to produce these two things, as long as there are raw materials. Oran immediately said that they could provide raw materials, but the purchase price of the Griffin Knight part could only be traded at 70% of the acquisition. As for the outer mecha of the empty angel, after their technical team confirmed whether it was necessary to notify Zero, and Zero agreed.
Next, Zero also received an order for crude oil and Griffin Knight parts next month. With this order alone, the fiscal revenue can get no less than 1 million in the next month. Oran can pay a deposit of 200,000 yuan first, so after summarizing, 2.35 million yuan was recorded in one afternoon. But soon, most of the money flowed into Oran's pocket.
Olan just threw a smart brain to zero, with a list of tradable equipment. On this list, Zero saw many powerful and moderately priced weapons. And these things were not mentioned in Oran of the Sea House last time. It can be seen that at that time, Ista was only a tentative cooperation, and now he has really opened some really powerful equipment to him.
Ista has been established for more than ten years. Although they can't compete with the Pope's Hall, they have developed extreme force. This force comes from the study of weapons and equipment. Unlike the Pope's Office's full-scale mecha route, Ista pays more attention to the extreme of individual equipment. Of course, a soldier can't fight against a mecha, even the most backward paladin mecha.
But according to this list on Oran's brain, if matched properly, ten soldiers can basically deal with a Paladin mecha. What is important is that the number of soldiers is much larger than that of mecha. Even the largest number of paladin mecha at present cannot make up for this distance.
This is the way of Ista's struggle.
There are many weapons open to zero this time. Zero read it carefully and adjust it according to your immediate needs to find the most suitable equipment for your army.
First of all, it is a special machine gun, which is like a reduced version of a rotary turbine gun. It is about the same size as an ordinary rifle, but three times the weight of a rifle. It's a little heavy, but it's not impossible to carry. Six pocket shells are embedded on a metal*. When the trigger is pulled, the metal* will move a pocket barrel to the magazine at a frequency of one-sixth of a second. At this time, the impact needle will hit the bullet in the magazine and shoot it from the barrel.
It only takes one second to turn the metal disk. In other words, this pocket-sized six-tube machine gun can fire six bullets in one second. This kind of machine gun has no particularly stringent requirements for bullets, from standard bullets to electric pulse bombs that can interfere with Paladin's mecha. As a result, its generality has been greatly improved.
However, in the instructions next to this weapon, it is suggested that their main function is to deal with griffin knights. The Griffin Knight is famous for its low-altitude cruise ability and high-speed movement. Although the electromagnetic guns previously purchased from Ista can also pose a threat to the Griffin Knight, this threat is very limited. And because of the advantages of range and speed of fire, once the fire network is formed, it will pose a serious air threat to the Griffin Knight.
This kind of machine gun is called Anqila six-bard linkage gun, which is referred to as Anqila gun. Named after its inventor, the price of each Angira machine gun is 5,000 gold coins, and 50 guns were ordered in one breath, a total of 250,000 gold coins. Each machine gun comes with an electromagnetic bullet ammunition box, which is Ista's support for zero.
In addition to the 50 ammunition boxes included, Zero asked for 50 more by the way, so the gold coins spent another 50,000.
Then there is a kind of equipment called guardian wrist, which is an energy shield device that can be stimulated three times a day. It can last for 10 minutes each time, and the energy shield will form an energy field in front of the user, which has a certain defense for ordinary rifles, laser beams and even sniper guns and abilities below the eighth level. Of course, it is impossible to defend a large-caliber rotating gun like the Paladin Mecha, which has exceeded the maximum defense value that can be provided by the energy shield.
A kind of equipment like this costs 500 gold coins each. The service life is one year, and the built-in high-energy battery can be used 100 times, which means that if it is used every day, the battery must be replaced after a month. 1,000 sets of this equipment were ordered, with a total of 500,000 gold coins, and Ista gave away an additional 2,000 special batteries, so that even if zero soldiers use it every day, it can be used continuously for three months.
The defense of the energy shield is not so strong, but it is enough for ordinary soldiers. It can be stimulated three times a day for 10 minutes each time, which totals half an hour of use time. If it is used well, it is enough to save their lives.
Although soldiers are consumables, the roles of a veteran and a recruit are completely different. If possible, Zero doesn't want his army to change blood too often. He hopes to train these soldiers through war and meet each other. As the war heats up, he will have more and more soldiers. At this time, those veterans who survived the war will be promoted to captains and various officers, and these guardianships are assigned for these officers.
An experienced officer must be worth more than a soldier.
In the end, Zero looked at a disposable consumable equipment, which Ista named as a predator. The shape of the predator is a *, which is activated and thrown out when needed. The predator will split into four components, and a laser grid will be formed between the components. The power grid will have a discharge effect when covering the target. Once the power grid is released, the explosive devices in the four components will be activated.
The power of the explosion will be superimposed in a limited range, resulting in a violent blasting impact. According to Ista's experiment, a predator can bomb two Paladin mecha, after all, their grid coverage reaches an exaggerated 30 meters square. Similarly, if it is a dense array, such a grid is enough to pull 50 soldiers to hell, which has not yet calculated the power bonus after the explosion of the predator, but it is not a big problem to blow hundreds of soldiers to pieces.
And more importantly, its price is that such a weapon only needs 500 gold coins each, which is much cheaper than an electromagnetic bomb. Oran also admitted that the predator is actually an upgraded version of the electromagnetic bomb, and its application is wider, and with the improvement of technology, its cost has been reduced.
Like this predator, 1,000 pieces in one breath, a total of 500,000 gold coins.
In this way, these three kinds of equipment alone cost 1.3 million in one go. He comes and spends money as fast. As for the other equipment listed above in Ista, the performance is quite good, but it is only conventional equipment. Zero now owns an arsenal in Tucson, and the inventory and production capacity of the factory are enough to supply an army of 3,000 people.
Therefore, the demand for conventional equipment is not large.
After an equipment order was finalized, Zero asked again, "I still need two things. I don't know if you can get it?"
"Just talk about it." Oran said in a low voice.
"First of all, I need a biological modulation system and about 20 special assistants. They don't have to be as talented as a doctor, but they must be involved in biological research.
Olan's eyes lit up: "Lord Zero, you are very ambitious. Just after playing a new Cannon, are you going to get involved in the development of biological weapons?
"It's just that there are such talents in this field, so I don't want to waste it. How about it? Can you get it? Of course, Zero will not disclose the situation of thunder.
Olan nodded: "It's a little difficult, but there's nothing I can do. Give me half a month. I can only provide the basic biological deployment system, which requires one million gold coins. If you need to upgrade and expand the equipment, you need to pay separately.
"It's fair."
"As for talent, I can find it for you. But you need to talk to them about the remuneration. According to the standards of the Pope's Hall, their monthly salary is about 100 gold coins.
"I'll give them 300." Zero price increase in one breath.
This time it's Oran's turn to nod: "It's fair. After all, it's still a little dangerous to work for you."
So the second thing is that I need to build a private network that requires me. I hope that its main function is to coordinate computing, and the scope of application tends to be logistics registration. Importantly, it is foreseeable that with the expansion of the fortress, there will be more and more people here. If I use gold coins to settle their salaries, the circulation of gold coins alone will become very cumbersome.
"I hope to replace the income and expenditure of gold coins with a system, such as the number of gold coins for each person. In the fortress, even within the sphere of influence I will control in the future, they can trade whatever they need with scores. Of course, this score can also be exchanged for gold coins. However, a redemption baseline must be set, which is above the baseline before it can be exchanged. Another condition is that they need to leave for more than three months and can't provide any more services for me, they can unconditionally exchange all points for gold coins.
"I see, a mechanism similar to *." Oran nodded.
