Doomsday foresight

The third day after Jinxi and the others arrived was the beginning of the fellowship. From this day on, the leaders of all the bases would gather together to study the affairs of the Northern Alliance, while the others would really have fellowship.

The fraternity is not as simple as Jinxi and the others think. At the fraternity, all the bases will take out special materials from their bases to exchange with others. Now that the end of the world has passed a few years, because of Jinxi's foreseeing ability and their loss There are few, but there are few reservations in other places, especially in major cities, because of frequent earthquakes, many cities have various pipelines underground, and some cities have been hollowed out underground. When the earthquake comes, these cities cannot be preserved at all. 80.00% of them are buried in the ruins. The bigger the city, the more serious the situation, and only villages, towns and small cities can be preserved.Therefore, most of the current bases are newly established.There are not many high-tech items left, and the biggest impact on the entire human civilization is the lack of electricity.

When the disaster just came, people in many places got some small engines like Jinxi and others, and some people even got engine sets. When the world stabilized, the bases near the power plant wanted to use the previous sets to generate electricity again. But they were all unsuccessful, and it was not known whether it was due to the earth's magnetic field or the new substances in the air. The power plant had no way to generate electricity again, and some electronic equipment was damaged when it was turned on rashly.

Apart from traditional power plants, the most dangerous thing is the nuclear power plant. There are several nuclear power plants in the north. Let alone start-up, there is a special poisonous gas around the nuclear power plant. These poisonous gases seem to be caused by nuclear energy leakage and air reaction, or other reasons. Because there are no suitable instruments to be sure, the nuclear power plant is surrounded by dead creatures that cannot be approached for tens of miles, and some people who returned from the investigation found that the plants in that area are all gray-green, and the creatures will be poisoned when touched, so even if the nuclear power plant is still intact No one dared to approach them anymore. After several years of plant erosion, those places could no longer see their original appearance.

Some of the generators that can be used now are extremely simple solar cells and hydroelectric generators, and those that are slightly more complicated cannot be used. Without electricity, the technological level of human beings will go back hundreds of years. The new world seems to reject technological things. There are very few high-tech products that humans can retain over time.

With the passage of time mankind has entered a new era.

Jinxi didn't attend the brain meeting at the base. Jin Qi discovered that some bases already knew Jinxi's name, so it's better for him to keep a low profile, because he doesn't like such occasions.

At the fraternity meeting, Jinxi discovered many novel things, among which he was most interested in new plants. The person who sent the letter to Yecheng did not tell them too much. They know more, just by looking at the things they brought, there are all kinds of strange things, compared with them, Ye Cheng is obviously less prepared.But Jinxi doesn't care too much. The sorority can place orders first and then trade like the previous trade fairs, but they can't show their products. Think about their specialties, grains and vegetables. It caused covetousness, not to mention the fact that there was a division of the territory this time. If their hole cards were exposed too much, it would not be good for them.

"What kind of melon is this?" Jinxi was wearing a hooded suede coat, and the fur collar was half covered. Now Jinxi's body is much better because of the evolutionary agent, although it can't catch up with other people who use the evolutionary agent in Yecheng, but The ability to resist cold has also increased due to the improvement of one's own quality, so you don't need to wear so bloated clothes, but in order to prevent accidents, you still have some coverings on your face.

"This is a crispy melon grown in our base. It tastes a bit like cantaloupe but is crisper than apples. This melon is easy to store and can be stored for a whole winter, not to mention it's cold or frozen." The stall owner asked when someone asked. Sell ​​quickly.

"Which base are you from?" Jin Xi asked.

"We are from the Xijiang base, and the fruit from our place cannot be grown here." The man was a little proud.

Jinxi took off her gloves and took a melon. It looked small and heavy. It was orange in color with milky white ripples on it. It was the size of a football. Jinxi felt that this melon might be a mutated cantaloupe, but it looked fresh. Buy one and try it.

"What do you want to change?"

"It's not easy to transport my melons. These melons are about the same size, about two kilograms. You give three catties of bacon or six catties of fresh meat, and three catties of bacon."

Meat is now easier to obtain than food. There are more and more wild animals this year, but food is difficult to grow because of the environment. The price has been rising, and few people have exchanged food.As for bacon and bacon, salt is needed when making it, so it is more popular.

"It's a bit expensive, I'll give you five catties of fresh meat." Ye Ke shook his head, "You won't be hungry after eating this melon."

"Two catties of bacon." The stall owner said.

Ye Ke thought for a long time and nodded, took a piece of bacon from the bag he was carrying, then took out another bag and picked up a piece of bacon and handed it over. "This is five catties and six taels, exchange for two melons." After speaking, he reached out to the stall to pick and choose, picked two relatively heavy ones, and put them in his pocket.

Jinxi saw which stall owner first squeezed the dryness of the bacon, checked it, and then weighed the bacon with a small scale, but the result was not more than a little bit, and after walking out, he smiled and said, "You are very skilled, why do you still have meat?" Changes?" He knew that meat was traded, but it was interesting to see Ye Ke's movements, as if the bacon had become coins and brought change.

"Hehe, I don't know if you went to the castle. I went to several trade fairs in the bases last summer. There were a lot of tricks in bartering. I was cheated if I was not careful. Some bases like to exchange bacon for a long time. Like the Xijiang base, there are not as many animals as ours, and there are wolves. It is not easy to hunt, but there used to be fruits there, and now it is easier to grow fruits. They need bacon more, and bacon saves time like this Long, every base has what they need. If we take the bacon to Xijiang to trade, it is estimated that one catty of bacon can be exchanged for five catties of fruit. The price is fair now, after all, it is not easy to transport. But there are not many If you dare to trade with them, the people there are capable of fighting, and this time the competition for the territory will be fierce. Although these people don’t hunt much, they need to be good at hunting wolves from time to time.”

Jinxi nodded.

"As for the fraction, if you don't prepare for it, he can take advantage of you with a knife. Although meat is good with our ability, but if you are generous, others will miss you."

Jinxi also understands this truth. At this time, they are all poor people. If you pretend to be generous, you will be remembered.

Afterwards, the two of Jinxi strolled around again, but they didn't exchange anything. The rest of the material exchange was a bulk exchange, and those who had a special presence didn't need him.

"Hey, what's this?" Jinxi looked at a big booth. There was only one kind of thing on this booth, bundles, half a meter long, like a feather with many shapes on a thread, and she touched it with her hands. Very soft.

"This is a special product of our Dahebei. It grows in the field, but it is very good for making clothes. Look at my clothes." The stall owner was a woman who said this, pointing to her cotton-padded jacket, and then turned her sleeves Turning the button over, Jinxi saw that it was indeed woven with this kind of long hair, and the hair was all inside. Judging from the cuffs, this woman wore at least four clothes made of this kind of long hair.

Jin Xi touched the long hair, it was very soft.But just looking at women wearing so many pieces, this material is not so warm.

They Yecheng have already obtained cotton seeds. They exchanged vegetable seeds with the Changyuan base. They have already planted them on the east hillside. I don’t know what they will grow next year. It’s good to be able to harvest cotton, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t. They There is no problem with thick fur and wool to keep warm. The rest can be exchanged with the Changyuan base.So they don't need this warm item.

Before leaving the booth, Jinxi heard a few people place an order, asking for hundreds of catties of long-haired fabrics.Obviously not every base gets a lot of pelts.

After shopping back, Jiang Chen has not come back yet, Jin Xi is going to make dinner, he and Jiang Chen share a tent for dinner on weekdays and he cooks it himself, Jiang Chen often has something to do, the time of his return is uncertain, so he doesn’t eat with the guards .

Just about to stew the remaining piece of beef, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Jinlin came in from the outside with a piece of frozen meat in his hand, "Today we killed a wild donkey, and I'll send you one over here .”

Jin Xi took it over with a smile, "Heh, today's harvest is quite big?"

Jin Lin nodded and leaned over and whispered, "Today we ran into people from Jingxi base, and those people are now using crossbows, not as arrogant as before and using hot weapons, I guess they have no bullets."

"How long has it been, how many bullets should be used up?"

"But I checked quietly, and their strength is very good, stronger than before we used the evolutionary agent."

Jin Xi frowned, "Then what about the comparison now?"

"Of course we are the best now, they are still far behind."

"Don't be careless, maybe they still have the strength to hide."

Although Jinlin didn't realize how strong they were, she still nodded in agreement. The people in Jingxi Base are cunning, so it's not a big mistake to be careful.

Sending Jin Lin away, Jin Xi put the donkey meat in the pot to stew, and the pot simmered for more than an hour. When the meat was ready, he took it out and cut it into slices.

"Why is it so long? You're hungry, go wash your face, I warmed up the pancakes." Jin Xi took the hot kettle from the stove and gave Jiang Chen face-washing water.

"It's so easy to disagree." Jiang Chen took off his coat, went to wash his face, and told Jin Xi while washing.

Jinxi steamed the dry food prepared at home in a pot, took out the donkey meat and sliced ​​it, and then mixed it with the sauce at home, "Don't you have an idea for the Jingxi base and the other big bases?"

"Oh, it's useless for them to have ideas. Their bases are big, but some small bases are not afraid of them if they are not next to them. Besides, these bases still want to be the leaders, so naturally they won't make it so ugly." Jiang Chen rubbed Wiping his face, "It's just that no matter how much you argue, it's the same result. I think we can almost settle it tomorrow."

"How is it?" Jinxi asked.

"Competition for territory." Jiang Chen said while sitting on the blanket, "It should be divided by territory, as long as it is in any area, it can be contested. We are in trouble in the south, and we must face the big base."
