Doomsday Commander: Chapter 102 enriched uranium
Chapter 102 Enriched Uranium
Tang Zheng returned to Chasing Light City by helicopter.
Over the past few days, Zhuguang City has begun to take on the appearance of a city.
Dozens of buildings are under construction, some of which have already been capped.
The engineers and soldiers worked in rotation almost 24 hours a day, and the construction speed far exceeded the normal speed of the people.
At this time, the road of Nanmen Street is already very lively.
Especially the lines of the Public Security Department, the Ministry of the Interior, and the registration and trading halls are almost overcrowded.
Where there are people, there is commerce, and many vendors with stalls began to gather around here, forming a medium-sized market.
Although the City of Chasing Light has not yet issued currency, the survivors still have their trading methods.
In addition to the traditional barter, bullets, gold, and even the points cards of the City of Chasing Light have all become tradable things.
Moreover, when Tang Zheng came back, he found that at the intersection of Nanmen Avenue and Dongmen Avenue, someone had already bought a piece of land, planning to open a big hotel here.
The intersection of these two roads can be said to be the golden location in the golden location. Someone who wins it first is also very discerning.
After Tang Zheng came back, he led the guard platoon to the south city gate.
It is already past 9:40 in the morning, and the tax collector of the alliance is about to arrive.
Before today, Tang Zheng hadn't figured out what to do, but after seeing that terrifyingly huge group of corpses, Tang Zheng had a plan in mind.
They stood in front of the door, and people passing by all looked sideways, knowing that they were members of the Light Chasing Army, and they didn't come to bother them.
At 9:50, the convoy appeared in Tang Zheng's field of vision.
On the temporarily paved road in the distance, a convoy of three off-road jeeps and about ten trucks was heading towards the City of Chasing Light.
"The battle is not small, with so many big trucks, how much material are you planning to collect from me?"
Tang Zheng complained, and then waited for the convoy to arrive with a smile on his face.
A few minutes later, the convoy stopped in front of the gate of Chasing Light City.
A hot woman in her thirties jumped out of a jeep.
Tang Zheng met this person when he went to the University City Base, the third member of the Alliance Council, and also the leader of the Jingwen County Logging Base, Lian Na.
It can be seen that Lianna is a mutant, and the strength and posture of her actions are different from ordinary people.
Tang Zheng walked over and greeted with a smile: "Welcome Senator Lian Na coming from afar, your arrival will make the City of Chasing Light flourish."
Lianna also shook hands with Tang Zheng: "I'm an unwelcome person, let's talk ugly first, and when I collect taxes according to the law, don't blame me, Chief Tang."
"Hehe, how could it be, although Zhuguang City is not rich, but a little material can still be obtained, let's go, let's go into the city and have a look."
The security platoon drove Tang Zheng's Hummer Jeep over, opened the carport, and Tang Zheng invited Lian Na to get in the car.
The people brought by Lianna, except for the bodyguards, were invited by people from the internal affairs department. They wanted to do statistical work.
"Member Lianna, let the people below do those cumbersome statistics, how about we transfer to Guangcheng?"
"Okay, let me tell you the truth, Chief Tang, I am shocked by your city now, I will take a good look around if you don't tell me."
The motorcycle of the Public Security Department cleared the way in front of the Hummer, Xu Liu drove, and Director Ji Yuntian sat in the sidecar, shouting with a loudspeaker.
"Leave a way! Make a way!"
"Stand aside, that bun seller, where is your stall?"
"Winning in front, what about you, those mercenaries with guns!"
"What are you staring at? When you come to the city of Chasing Light, you will be coiled by a dragon, and you will also be coiled by a tiger. If you dare to make trouble here, you will be sent to the dungeon of the Public Security Bureau!"
Under the clearing of the Public Security Department, the convoy passed through the crowded South Street and arrived at the registration and trading hall.
"Member Lianna, take a look at our trading floor, how is it different from the base in the university town?"
"Okay, I just want to see it too, maybe I can try to accept a task."
Lianna smiled, but she was secretly thinking.
She has a wealth of experience in tax collection, and has her own criteria for judging whether a person will cooperate with tax payment.
Generally speaking, it is relatively easy for medium-sized bases to pay taxes, because they have supplies and do not have a particularly strong force against the alliance, so they can only pay taxes obediently.
Small bases are difficult because they are relatively poor, but as long as some pressure is applied, they can generally only cooperate.
On the contrary, large-scale bases are the most difficult to collect taxes. They have things, but no one is willing to pay them out, and they are strong enough, and the alliance has no good way to take them.
A base as big as the City of Chasing Light should be the hardest bone to crack.
Ever since she saw the walls of Chasing Light City, Lian Na gave up on the threat of force.
Not to mention anything else, just the defenders inside the watchtower on the city wall, she can't handle it, if Tang Zheng doesn't cooperate, she won't be able to get anything.
Once the gate of the city is closed, the local alliance will probably not be able to defeat it if it does not mobilize all forces.
And this is also based on the fact that Tang Zheng's armed forces are not large in number.
After entering the city, Lian Na carefully observed the situation of the defenders on the city wall.
According to her preliminary judgment, the defenders guarding the city are between three hundred and four hundred.
This reminded her of the information that Tang Zheng registered at the University City base, which indeed said that there were 300 armed forces.
"It seems that during this period of time, he has not had time to expand the army on a large scale, but this situation will not last long. When the situation in the city is stabilized, Tang Zheng's army expansion is imperative."
"I absolutely can't let this kind of thing happen, at least before expanding the army, I want him to agree to let the alliance station troops here."
"As long as the alliance can garrison troops here, as long as the city gates are controlled, this city can become ours at any time."
"I believe that the speaker will agree with me when he sees this city. Perhaps this is more suitable as the headquarters of the alliance."
In a very short time, Lian Na determined her thinking for coming this time.
Taxation needs to be levied, but that is no longer the main thing. The most important thing is to sign a protection agreement, and then make it public on the radio, creating a fait accompli, and then let the alliance garrison here to occupy the magpie's nest.
But it is not easy to complete this matter. Before that, she must do whatever it takes to gain Tang Zheng's trust.
With dirty thoughts in mind, the two walked into the registration and trading hall under the protection of the guards.
After entering the door, I saw a large electronic screen.
This electronic screen was erected the day before yesterday, and Tang Zheng specially sent people out to collect it, in order to make the trading hall look more stylish.
The blackboard a few days ago has completed its mission and is dead.
On the electronic screen, subtitles are scrolling.
A lot of news here is released by the Ministry of Interior of Zhuguang City.
Most of them are news of acquisitions, because now the large forces of Zhuguang City are fighting outside, there is a shortage of manpower, and there is no way to collect many materials, so I will post the news here. As long as the team or individual can complete the task, they can exchange weapons and vehicles here. Even mutated animal meat.
【Purchase building materials, such as cement, steel bars, paint, wood, etc., if there is a large demand, you can pay with weapons. If you have goods, contact the Ministry of the Interior. 】
【Buy tons of diesel oil, weapons and vehicles can be settled. 】
【Purchasing salt, monosodium glutamate, and spices can be exchanged for points from the City of Light. 】
【Large purchases of gold, platinum, silver, diamonds, emeralds, natural pearls, rubies, sapphires, etc. can be settled with weapon points. 】
【Purchase uranium ore, enriched uranium, bullet settlement. 】
The subtitles are constantly scrolling, and the City of Chasing Light is now in need of a lot of things, and there are many things in need.
Lian Na glanced at Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng also glanced at her.
Lianna saw what Tang Zheng meant, she wanted to help him complete a few tasks first.
If this cannot be done, I am afraid that there is no way to talk about the next thing.
Lianna smiled: "Since you're here, you can't leave empty-handed. Chief Tang will urge your Ministry of the Interior later, don't give me an IOU."
Tang Zheng laughed: "Of course not."
"Okay, then I will accept the task of fifty kilograms of gold and a task of enriching uranium. I can't accept other tasks. After all, my logging camp base and the university city base of the headquarters have a demand for ordinary materials. The amount is also very large, I hope Chief Tang can understand."
Tang Zheng was not too surprised when he heard fifty kilograms of gold.
Fifty kilograms of gold, converted into system funds, that is, 50,000 gold.
This number is not too big for Tang Zheng now, after all, the soldiers on the front line can collect about 20,000 gold every day, and now they have accumulated more than a hundred thousand gold, and Tang Zheng has not gone to collect it yet.
But a task of enriching uranium made Tang Zheng's eyes light up.
During this period of time, He Xue pestered herself every day, asking Tang Zheng to get some uranium ore or enriched uranium as soon as possible.
But Tang Zheng didn't have a clue for a while, this kind of thing is too difficult to get, if you ask him to find it for ordinary people, he doesn't even know where to find it.
Unexpectedly, today, Lian Na actually gave herself a surprise.
Tang Zheng calmed down, and asked with a smile: "Leader Lianna was able to get something like enriched uranium, amazing."
Lianna waved her hand: "It's not too bad, but when the tax was collected, there were survivors who came from Mobei. Back then, there was an empire's nuclear power plant there. Someone got a bottle by chance. It is said that the purity reached More than 85% of it was confiscated by me, but to be honest, this thing is useless at all, without using a lot of scientific and technological talents, that kind of weapon can't be made at all, so I borrowed flowers to present Buddha to Chief Tang today."
"However, I guess Chief Tang needs low-purity enriched uranium, probably because he wants to do some research on nuclear power. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to use my bottle of high-purity uranium."
As she spoke, Lian Na asked someone to pick up the task, and then delivered the task directly.
Fifty kilograms of gold, and a silver-white solid in a sealed glass box.
Tang Zheng didn't know enriched uranium either, so he handed it to He Xue beside him.
When He Xue saw this thing, her eyes lit up, and she immediately took it, the joy on her face could not be concealed.
"General, it's really high-purity enriched uranium, it's done! Just look at it."
