June 7, eighth year of the last calendar year, sunny.

This was a big day for the college entrance examination in the civilized era, but nine years after humans traveled to the wasteland, not many people mentioned it anymore.

Very few people even remember these days, they just live them one day at a time.

As the sun rises from the sky, it brings a ray of warm sunlight.

Sangtian Town, which had been silent for five days, finally ushered in the much-anticipated "revival".

Those migrant workers who had rested for a few days walked out of the door in high spirits and began to look for work and consumption.

Those shops that were closed because there was no traffic opened their curtains early in the morning and announced their reopening.

Including outside the town, those high-powered cars that came and went also started a business, and began to bring waves of outsiders into the town.

Everything seemed to be back before the heavy rain.

harmonious.

peaceful.

"Xiaojuan, I'm leaving"

"By the way, you should stay at home these days. Don't rush to work. Wait until this storm has passed."

After getting up early and having breakfast, after giving Huang Xiaojuan a few instructions, Sumo picked up his backpack and went out.

Currently, a total of six families have moved in next to my courtyard, and all of them are skilled hands sent by Feng Tianmin.

With their protection and Oreo's vigilance, as long as Huang Xiaojuan stays at home, she will basically not encounter any trouble that is difficult to deal with.

But on the contrary, it is.

"Sure enough, the survivors who have survived in the wasteland for so long may not be sensitive to the prices of other consumer goods."

"But food is different. Even if it's moved a little bit, it's enough to cause a fight."

Wandering all the way to the place where food was sold last night, Somo could smell a hint of chaos as soon as he walked out of Gutian Third Street.

The flow of people in Sangtian Town is too mixed!

In the past, there were restraints by rules and suppression by escorts. Even if the foreign population, which was ten times and dozens of times more than the permanent population, caused trouble, it would only be a small-scale commotion and it would end immediately.

But now.

These five days of heavy rain have resulted in zero income and rising food prices.

This directly caused the savings of those migrant workers who stayed in rented houses to be greatly reduced.

If you have some savings, you may be able to hold on for a while.

For those without savings, food prices may become a problem as food prices rise.

With such a huge cost of living.

Obviously, these people are no longer as well-behaved as before and have other ideas in their minds.

"Brother, do you have money? Can you lend me a little?"

"I really have no money to eat. Lend me some and I'll pay you twice as much after the summer harvest."

Sumo was still thinking about possible solutions to this wave of territory, but as he just turned a corner, several sudden sounds rang in his ears.

Looking up, Sumo couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps it was because he was alone and "skinny".

Or maybe it was because he saw that his face was shiny and he looked like he had no worries about food and clothing.

Three middle-aged men with red faces stuttered out of the shadows in the corner, looking embarrassed.

"You have no money?"

"It's really gone. If you don't believe it, we can show you the game board." One of the shorter middle-aged men quickly joined.

"The consumption in the territory is too high. We need a survival point for three meals a day. There are still more than ten days before the summer harvest. We"

Seeing that Sumo had the idea of ​​borrowing money, the three people quickly complained.

But Sumo, who was standing opposite and had been listening, was smiling more and more.

"No way, I remember seeing you guys drinking and bragging at the food stall the day before yesterday?"

"There's no money left?"

Although Soma's strong memory does not allow him to remember everything in his mind.

But it's only been two or three days, so he hasn't forgotten everything.

This time, after being exposed.

The three big men struggled for a few seconds and finally made their choice.

"Borrow some, we know you have money. If you don't borrow, we won't be able to survive."

"That's it, just give us some, and we'll help you settle things when you encounter them in the future."

"I, brother Liu, need to give face to all the gangsters in Sangtian Town. Boy, please lend some to your brothers."

As they spoke, the three of them secretly moved and surrounded Somo.

He looked skilled, and it was obviously not the first time he had done something like this.

"Huh, if you can't deceive me, then you can rob it by force, right?"

"Why, aren't you afraid of being caught by the territorial law enforcement team? Or are you planning to run away after finishing this job?"

Seeing that the expressions on the three people's faces were a little strange, their eyes began to wander.

Sumo shook his head, chuckled and walked forward.

He wanted to go ahead and let the three of them taste the taste of failed robbery, but then he thought about it.

If it hadn't been for this sudden disaster and the malicious competition among the grain banks in Sangtian Town, all other grain banks that could provide jobs would have closed down.

It's not like now, all these influx of foreign people are in chaos, doing nothing all day long.

"It's still a management problem. In such a big town, no one regulates employment opportunities."

"well"

It was unclear what the mayor of Sangtian Town was up to. Being disturbed like this, Sumo lost interest in observing the grand scene in front of the grain shop.

After taking a detour, he soon came to the point where he usually met with Sun Quan.

"Brother Su, you are finally here"

"Fuck, it's so chaotic outside now. The escort team arrested two to three hundred people this morning."

Sun Quan, who was hiding in the corner, jumped out when he saw Somo's voice and shadow appearing in the distance.

It can be seen from his much faster pace that everyone will inevitably be affected by this chaos.

"Without anything to do, no money, and no money to eat, these people must be in chaos."

When we arrived at the main road, there were already more patrol patrols.

The two of them walked side by side to Liangfang, but they did not encounter the same "robber" as before.

He hurriedly took out the breakfast prepared by Huang Xiaojuan and gave it to Sun Quan.

Sumo didn't waste a moment and sat in the studio and continued to work.

In four or five days, about 60% of the armor's blueprints have been dismantled, and more than half of the manufacturing process has been familiarized.

As long as all the blueprints are dismantled and a few more important components are collected, Sumo can control this miniature development platform and start manufacturing version 1.0 of the Daily War Armor.

But unfortunately, after sitting down today, he had to stuff the armor drawings in the cabinet and take out a new piece of white paper to start drawing.

"If the summer harvest only lasts for ten days, the harvest will definitely not be completed just by relying on the powerful stone tools made by Zhang Bowen."

"It will be a trivial matter for Liangfang to lose money at that time. It would be really bad if he goes bankrupt and sells off all the instruments and materials."

Warframe manufacturing requires the use of precision integration platforms.

This nearly 40,000 platform and 50,000 materials will be liquidated once it is bankrupt.

Even if Sumo can still find a store to provide it in the future, the progress will probably be slowed down a lot.

So, for the sake of stability.

Based on Zhang Bowen's work, Sumo decided to continue iterative development, striving to develop a harvesting machine that could directly target these special plants and complete innovations several times faster than energy stone tools.

In this way, even if time is tight, some fish that slip through the net are still confiscated, and Zizailiangfang will not suffer a direct loss.

"The Xinghuo 3 wheat is relatively fragile, which means that the fully automatic machine must be light and gentle enough during the harvesting process."

“In this way, we can ensure output.”

While sketching the drawing, Sumo soon had an idea in his mind.

It's easy to say, there are still a large number of migrant workers in Sangtian Town.

These people have not found jobs, and the prices they are asking for are low enough.

If they are excluded from the production process, more energy will inevitably be spent on research and development to make up for it.

But if you use some semi-automatic tools for them to use, it will also take a lot of time to train these people to ensure the efficiency of harvesting and ensure that the summer harvest can be completed within ten days.

And this is exactly the current pain point.

No time!

"If you don't do one thing and don't stop doing the other, just cut off the harvesting link."

"As long as we develop a tool that can pass the most difficult level and return the remaining particles to the warehouse, even if it is all done by human beings!"

How to ensure that the wheat growing on the ears of wheat falls safely to the ground and will not break and return to the field.

It's a big problem.

But after thinking about the design of the Sun-Chasing Armor in the cabinet under his feet, Sumo gritted his teeth and began to move his hands.
To be continued...
