Chapter 380： gold shortage

Beidu, the command room.

Lin Liye and several leaders all looked solemn.

There is a glass jar on the table, and inside the jar is the arm of a zombie.

"According to laboratory analytical studies..."

"The virus contained in this arm is very similar to what Team Lin brought back from the opening ceremony."

"It can be inferred that these zombies killed from the southwest are inseparable from those that Lin team killed in the pyramid before."

A researcher reports.

"Grass! Or let these viruses leak out!"

Lin Liye slammed the desktop hard.

The table is broken again.

This is the third table that has been changed during this time.

He and Wang Ran and others had gone through so many dangers in Africa before. They finally killed all those monsters and blew up the pyramid. Unexpectedly, there was still an ancient virus leaked out.

"Have our outposts in the southwest region been wiped out?"

The veins on Lin Liye's forehead jumped.

"The warrior who risked his life to send this arm back, also swallowed his breath just now."

"The outposts in the southwest region, all destroyed..."

A soldier choked and said.

Everyone present was silent.

Southwest outpost, but there is a fifth-level awakener sitting in town.

Did not expect to lose so quickly.

"Now is not the time to be sad."

"According to the report, the zombies killed in the southwest are powerful and large in number, and the threat far exceeds the previous corpse tide."

"We should prepare defensive measures as soon as possible."

Instructor Li reminded.

"Director Li said..."

Lin Liye nodded and quickly calmed down.

"If these mutant zombies are killed all the way, the cities that have just come back to life along the way will suffer."

"We have to get 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 exoskeletons equipped 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 for mechanical exoskeletons."

"To make a set of D-level mechanical exoskeletons requires 10 kilograms of gold."

"You have to use at least 50 kilograms for your Class A exoskeleton."

"Our gold is about to run out..."

Director Li frowned.

Ever since they knew that gold can enhance the strength of the Awakened, the Awakened all over the place frantically searched for all kinds of gold reserves.

The vaults were basically looted.

Even the survivors inside the northern capital have hoarded a lot of gold in private.

Originally, the gold reserves in Beidu were okay, but since the production of mechanical exoskeletons, the gold reserves have been a bit insufficient.

"How about we mobilize the masses and let them hand in some gold?"

Lin Liye suggested.

"I find it difficult..."

"Humanity is such a thing...hey..."

Director Li sighed.

The more this period is, the tighter people will squeeze important resources.

Relying on mobilization has little effect...

"Gold... ah!"

Lin Liye's eyes suddenly lit up.

To say that the one with the most gold reserves is his prospective son-in-law Wang Ran!

He had heard Wang Ran mention before that the gold reserves in City N had exceeded 100 tons.

Coupled with Wang Ran's people who go out from time to time to sweep the surrounding cities, and Wang Ran's trade line, the speed of earning gold is unimaginable.

If you can get a little gold from Wang Ran, the production of mechanical exoskeletons will not stop!

However, Lin Liye also knew that no matter how good the relationship was, he couldn't ask people to ask for such an important resource for nothing.

Wang Ran couldn't be at a disadvantage, he had to exchange things for it.

After thinking for a while, Lin Liye looked at Director Li.

"Guide Li, I know there is a person who has a lot of gold in his hand."

"He should also be willing to provide it to us, but we need to exchange it for something of corresponding value."

Lin Liye said seriously.

"Did you mention it before, the leader of the Awakened in N City?"

Director Li's eyes lit up.

Lin Liye would compliment N City and Wang Ran every three days, and Director Li was tired of listening.

"But, what can we exchange for gold in the north?"

"You said before that they basically have no shortage of supplies, right?"

Instructor Li asked.

"Ordinary materials, they are indeed not lacking, but..."

"What if we replace it with a mechanical exoskeleton?"

Lin Liye smiled slightly.

"Mechanical exoskeleton???"

"This......"

Everyone present was stunned.

"You think about it, for us, it's gold that limits our capacity."

"Without gold, we simply wouldn't be able to continue making exoskeletons."

"We exchange 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."

"It's 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 copied by others after it flows out."

"For example, the cost of making a Class D mechanical exoskeleton is 10 kilograms of gold and some other materials of similar value, plus productivity costs and R&D costs."

"We can sell 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 so."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The people present expressed their opinions.

"Okay, this plan, just do as you said."

"However, it is important to note that we must ensure that at least half of the mechanical exoskeletons are reserved for Beidu's own use."

"Now that the zombies are attacking, our army needs these equipment."

Instructor Li instructed.

"Don't worry, I have some measure in this regard."

"I'll contact the people in N City later."

Lin Liye nodded.

Great, the gold shortage thing is finally resolved.

Right now, it's a matter of zombies.

"What do you have to do with the large number of zombies that attacked this time?"

Instructor Li asked.

"Northern Capital is still the last hurdle we need to stick to."

"But there are 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."

"As a result, it can slow down the speed of the zombie invasion and give the survivors in the rear cities enough time to evacuate."

"Secondly, by buying more time, we can produce more mechanical exoskeletons, so that our strength will be stronger."

Lin Liye thought about it and said it.
