Rebirth in the end times: Amazing the world with billions of supplies
Chapter 230: Shortage of Raw Materials
After a few days of calm, the head of the production department complained at a meeting: "Base Director, we need to increase the production of anti-corrosion coatings used in acid rain, but the supply of raw metal for the coating is insufficient, and the production of anti-corrosion coatings is greatly restricted."
There is a huge demand for anti-corrosion coatings. Now not only the Anping base needs this kind of coating, but external bases also want to buy it.
According to previous experience, acid rain is unlikely to occur just once, and everyone wants to apply this anti-corrosion coating on important buildings, vehicles, etc., and it would be best if they could apply several layers.
It is impossible to rely solely on Gu Zisu to replicate something of this magnitude that requires huge amounts of usage and long-term production.
There is a large gap in the original metal corresponding to this kind of paint. In the past, this kind of metal was not widely used, and there are not many of them stored in the Anping base. The ones that were previously stored have been processed into anti-corrosion paint by gold-type psychics.
Mo Qingxue turned to look at another staff member and asked, "Have you found out where this metal was produced before the end of the world?"
The staff handed over a pile of information, marked several places on a map with serial numbers, and said, "The places in the country that have this kind of metal mines are mainly these four cities."
Mo Qingxue nodded and asked Shi Weiming: "What is the current situation of these four cities?"
Shi Weiming had an impression of these cities and said, "According to the feedback from the caravans and intelligence traders, no one goes there to trade. They should be full of zombies and occupied areas."
Mo Qingxue tapped the table with her fingers, not very surprised by the answer.
Since the acid rain, their Anping base has raised the purchase price of this metal, but so much time has passed and the supply has not increased.
It is unreasonable that no caravans would bring metals to trade with such generous rewards. It is very likely that the place where the metals are produced is very dangerous and no caravans can successfully bring the metals back.
Mo Qingxue said: "Let's follow our previous steps, collect relevant information first, and send advance troops to investigate the current situation of these four cities. We will then decide which city to attack first."
All relevant personnel took action to perform their tasks.
Before the advance team sent back any news, Shi Weiming had already handed over the locations of the metal mines corresponding to the four cities and the materials before the end of the world to Mo Qingxue.
Mo Qingxue suddenly remembered that Zhou Xuanbei’s special ability could plan the safest route. Couldn’t he be used at this time?
She thought about it and sent someone to take Zhou Xuanbei to the capital of Jiangzhou.
Zhou Xuanbei had been severely tortured by Shi Nanxing before. His hand was already shattered and his legs were broken countless times. It was no longer possible for him to recover through surgery.
He was already a cripple, and all the people he could trust had been killed by Shi Nanxing, so he could no longer cause any trouble.
Not to mention making a comeback, even recovering your health is not an easy task.
All the valid information he provided before was converted into contribution points, which were not enough for him to ask the healing psychic to help him recover completely.
For him, the only way to accumulate enough contribution points to get treatment as soon as possible was to perform well in front of Mo Qingxue.
When Zhou Xuanbei heard the people from the Anping branch base asking him if he was willing to go to the capital of Jiangzhou to use his supernatural powers to carry out missions, he agreed immediately and flew to the capital of Jiangzhou in a flying vehicle.
Zhou Xuanbei spent several days, using up his supernatural powers every day, and finally planned a rough route forward.
Unexpectedly, the route he gave was to City No. 1, which has the largest mineral production.
After Xiao Xu used his special powers to confirm, he reported to Mo Qingxue, "Base Commander, Zhou Xuanbei is telling the truth and is not lying or doing anything bad."
Mo Qingxue nodded: "Okay, I understand."
She synchronized the route given by Zhou Xuanbei to the advance team and asked them to try this route first.
The advance team set out along this route, and few of the drones they sent out broke down, and they actually successfully reached the metal mine.
After information from other cities was gradually transmitted back, Mo Qingxue also understood why Zhou Xuanbei's ability determined that the mine in City No. 1 was the easiest to recover.
The situation has developed to the point where the entire city has fallen. It goes without saying that there are zombie kings in these four cities. The zombie king in city 4 is level 1, the lowest level. The zombie kings in the other three cities are all above level 9.
After measurement, it was found that the concentration of supernatural energy in the four cities was higher than that in ordinary cities in Jiangzhou.
Gu Zisu looked at the information he had collected, and said with his chin in his hand: "It's not difficult to take over the metal mine, but we need to transport it later. We have to clear the road, and the zombie king and zombies in this city must be killed, otherwise the mine cannot be transported out."
Mo Qingxue said: "We are short of this metal now, and we may be short of other raw materials tomorrow. If the material production area is in the occupied area, we will have to carry out another large-scale cleanup operation. A lot of materials will be consumed in one operation. One or two times is enough, but what about so many times in the future?"
Gu Zisu nodded in agreement: "It's different now than before. Before the end of the world, we had a complete supply chain to buy any materials we needed. Now we have to get them ourselves. If we want to maintain a long-term supply, we have to clear out the transportation lines as well."
This is the case with many materials. Some cities may not look very impressive, but once the city becomes a zombie-infested area, certain raw materials will no longer be available.
What is in short supply now is not just the metal for anti-corrosion coatings. Various project teams in the laboratory have also put forward the materials they need, and the origins of those materials are all on the recovery list of the Anping base.
Now they have many cities to recapture, so they have to work out a plan to recapture the target cities quickly and well with the least consumption.
The hunting team has been recruiting people, but branch bases have also been opening all the time, swallowing up a large number of well-trained talents like a bottomless pit.
They have just been trained to become experienced and have some centripetal force towards Anping Base. They may be sent to garrison at the branch base.
Even though it hurts, this step has to be taken.
The advantage of doing this is that they can sell what they produce and exchange it for more of the supplies they need.
Without the support of this circulation system, they would not be able to produce so many special-energy aircraft, crystal core pulse guns, etc. with the strength of their Anping base alone, nor could they support the entire research system to continue climbing the technology tree.
In short, no matter from which perspective, the material problem must be solved.
The other cities can be put aside for the time being, and we should solve the metal mine problem of city No. 1 first.
The people in the think tank of Anping Base have recently been thinking about how to take over City No. 1 with relatively less consumption without sending out Mo Qingxue, and after regaining the metal mine, how to defend this isolated little city with relatively fewer people.
Taking it down is the first problem; holding it is the second.
When Mo Qingxue woke up one morning, he had some inspiration.
Now she can use many different superpowers through the crystal cores of zombies. She has tried most of the attacking and strange superpowers.
However, every zombie king crystal core has a special ability that she has never tried, which is the ability to control zombies!
