Chapter 390
Gold Shortage
Beidu, command room.
Lin Liye and several leaders all looked solemn.
There was a glass jar on the table, and inside the jar was the arm of a zombie.
“According to laboratory analysis…”
“The virus contained in this arm is very similar to what Team Lin brought back from the opening.”
“It can be inferred that these zombies killed from the southwest are inseparable from the ones Team Lin fought in the pyramid before.”
A researcher reported.
“Fuck! Did you let these viruses leak out!”
Lin Liye thumped the table violently.
The table is broken again.
This is already the third table changed during this period.
He and Wang Ran and others experienced so many dangers in Africa before, and finally killed all those monsters, and even blew up the pyramids. Unexpectedly, an ancient virus still leaked out.
“Has the outpost in our southwest region been wiped out?”
The veins on Lin Liye’s forehead were throbbing.
“The soldier who risked his life to bring this arm back also died just now.”
“The outposts in the southwest region are all destroyed…”
A soldier choked up and said.
Everyone present was silent.
There is a fifth-level awakened person sitting in the southwestern outpost.
I didn’t expect to lose so quickly.
“Now is not the time to be sad.”
“According to the report, the zombies killed from the southwest are powerful and large in number, threatening far more than the previous zombie tide.”
“We should prepare defensive measures as soon as possible.”
Director Li reminded.
“Director Li said…”
Lin Liye nodded and quickly calmed down.
“If these mutated zombies are killed along the way, the cities that have just come back to life along the way will suffer.”
“We have to rush to the front to stop them.”
“How is the production progress of our mechanical exoskeleton?”
Lin Liye asked.
“There is no problem in terms of production. From the perspective of production capacity, the D-level mechanical exoskeleton for the first and second level awakeners can produce 200 sets per day.”
“The only problem is…the shortage of materials…”
Director Li sighed.
“Gold is the core material of the mechanical exoskeleton.”
“It takes 10 kilograms of gold to make a set of D-grade mechanical exoskeleton.”
“Your set of A-level exoskeleton needs to use at least 50 kilograms.”
“Our gold is almost running out…”
Director Li frowned.
Ever since it was known that gold can enhance the strength of awakened people, awakened people from all over the world frantically searched for all kinds of reserve gold.
The treasury was basically robbed.
Even the survivors in the northern capital hoarded a lot of gold in private.
Originally, the gold reserves in Beidu were not bad, but since the production of mechanical exoskeletons, the gold reserves have become a bit insufficient.
“How about we mobilize the masses and ask them to hand over a little gold?”
Lin Liye suggested.
“I find it difficult…”
“Human nature… hey…”
Director Li sighed.
The longer this period is, the tighter people will pinch important resources.
Relying on mobilization will have little effect…
“Gold… Ah!”
Lin Liye’s eyes suddenly lit up.
If you want to say that the one with the most gold reserves is his son-in-law Wang Ran!
He heard Wang Ran mention before that the gold reserves in N City have exceeded 100 tons.
Coupled with the fact that Wang Ran’s men went out to raid the surrounding cities from time to time, and Wang Ran’s trade line, the speed at which he could earn gold was unimaginable.
If you can get some gold from Wang Ran, the production of mechanical exoskeletons will not be stagnant!
However, Lin Liye also knew that no matter how good the relationship was, he couldn’t ask others for such important resources for nothing.
You can’t let Wang Ran suffer, you have to exchange things.
After thinking for a while, Lin Liye looked at Director Li.
“Director Li, I know someone who has a lot of gold in his hands.”
“He should be willing to provide it to us, but we need to exchange it with something of corresponding value.”
Lin Liye said seriously.
“Is it the awakened leader of City N that you mentioned earlier?”
Director Li’s eyes lit up.
Lin Liye would praise N City and Wang Ran frequently, and Director Li was tired of listening to it.
“But, what can we exchange for gold in the north?”
“You said before that they basically have no shortage of supplies, right?”
Director Li asked.
“They really don’t lack ordinary supplies, but…”
“What if we replace it with a mechanical exoskeleton?”
Lin Liye smiled slightly.
“Mechanical exoskeleton???”
“This……”
Everyone present was stunned.
“Think about it, for us, restricting ourWhat is productive is gold. ”
“If there is no gold, we simply cannot continue to make exoskeletons.”
“We exchange a part of the exoskeleton for gold. Not only will it not limit our strength, but it will also allow us to obtain a steady stream of gold.”
“This is a good thing for both parties!”
“Moreover, the core technology of the mechanical exoskeleton is in our hands, and we don’t have to worry about being imitated by others after it goes out.”
“For example, the cost of manufacturing a D-level mechanical exoskeleton is 10 kilograms of gold and other materials of similar value, plus production costs and research and development costs.”
“We can sell it to them for 50 kilograms of gold.”
“This price is quite suitable for both parties. What do you think?”
Lin Liye looked around at the people present.
“I think it’s okay.”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
The people present expressed their opinions one after another.
“Okay, this plan, let’s do as you said.”
“However, there is one thing to note. We must at least ensure that half of the mechanical exoskeletons are reserved for Beidu’s own use.”
“Now that the zombies are attacking, our army needs these equipments very much.”
Director Li instructed.
“Don’t worry, I have a measure in this regard.”
“I’ll contact the people in City N later.”
Lin Liye nodded.
Great, the gold shortage issue has finally been resolved.
Right now, it’s about the zombies.
“How do you deal with the large number of zombies coming this time?”
Director Li asked.
“The northern capital is still the last hurdle we need to hold on to.”
“However, there are still a large number of survivors in many cities along the way. If the zombies are allowed to kill all the way, those survivors may…”
“I think it’s necessary for us to send troops out to stop the zombies.”
“For one thing, it can slow down the zombie invasion and give the survivors in the rear cities enough time to evacuate.”
“Secondly, with more time, we can produce more mechanical exoskeletons, so that our strength will be stronger.”
Lin Liye thought for a while and said.
