Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 159 Dead Sea Depression
Da da da da da!
A burst of gunfire destroyed the stone target on the roof.

Zhou Yi held the Gatling cannon in one hand, with white smoke coming out of the muzzle.

This weapon also has a manual control mode.

So he asked Qiansu to remove the machine gun so that he could hold it and fire.

The arms dealers did exactly that.

She was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't it be tiring to hold it like this? Or would it be easier to fix it to the car and operate it with one button?"

Zhou Yi said: "Sometimes we also need to do some mobile shooting, so we have to take various situations into consideration."

Qian Su suddenly realized: "That makes sense."

Zhou Yi planned to carry this gun as a personal weapon.

Who would want to use telescopic punches when you have a Gatling gun?

It has both rate of fire and range. It can fire as long as the light box is installed, and it also has built-in target locking.

This is the weapon that should be used in the wasteland era!

Now there are berserk and fatal strike at close range, and Gatling fire suppression at long distance.

Finally the basic configuration is completed.

Zhou Yi placed the weapon in the warehouse next to him.

Hong Jian said at this time: "Over at Coral Mouth, Qiansu has already started to recruit a mechatronic life form to be responsible for various local affairs of Wasteland Express. It has also established a signal channel with us and can obtain real-time data at any time."

"It's just that the current order volume far exceeds the expected peak. According to the demand of Coral Bay and Recursive City, there are more than 100 small-item deliveries between these two cities every month."

"From Coral Mouth to Emerald City and then to Recursive City, the round trip distance is 3800 kilometers, and it takes eight days to complete the transportation. We currently have six couriers, and according to the work-four-day-rest-one system, it is difficult for them to run this distance."

“Although both Coral Mouth and Recursive City have agreed to increase the freight sharing ratio based on the actual distance, and to increase additional subsidies in bad weather conditions—this subsidy of course also comes from the buyers—the workload is still beyond the capacity of the express delivery center.”

"Do you want to hold off for a while? Reject some of the orders?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Didn't Qian Su say that? As long as there is an order, she will find ways to get it. We have to trust her, unless she thinks it's really not possible, then we can make other plans."

Before, Zhou Yi also told Qian Su not to be too anxious, because the training of couriers needs to be gradual, and these bone fish need time to grow and train.

Qian Su was very determined: "Chairman, we can't slow down. We must act quickly. We must strive to monopolize the express delivery orders in the vicinity! No matter what, we must take the lead in this business as soon as possible."

“Mission and I will also be involved in deliveries when necessary.”

“As long as we can control the small-package delivery on the trade route from Coral Mouth to Recursion City, even if there are newcomers, they will not be able to shake our regional dominance.”

“We need to quickly establish our company as the industry standard for small package deliveries to the Dead Sea,” she explains.

"Now there are excellent weapons dealers everywhere, but they can no longer shake the first few giants. Because they have basically monopolized the market, industry evaluation has become A or even A+, representing the best standards and answers. Just establishing standards is enough for them to obtain continuous profits."

The girl said enthusiastically: "Although this is only a niche industry, it is very profitable. We have a unique bonefish express delivery model, and we need to accumulate more orders as soon as possible to obtain the industry rating of the mechanical and electrical city."

"It's not that there were no small-scale deliveries before, but they were only sporadic orders. Mechanical and Electrical City has credit assessment requirements for the client and will not look for partners below level C, which are basically major organizations or some powerful players. So delivery has become a waste."

"Now that the company has officially taken over this part of the business, it's an opportunity to show our talents! I want to move Wasteland Express forward as quickly as possible and establish our own standards."

Although he speaks ambitiously, Qiansu is actually very pragmatic in his actions.

She admitted that she knew the business volume had exceeded the current labor limit, so she adjusted the routes. Long-distance routes only go directly to Luxi City and Coral Mouth, while the coverage of the nine medium and short-distance cities remains unchanged.

Qian Su also invited the Sheng Snakes to help. Two Sheng Snakes and the Bone Fish Courier formed a courier team. Sheng Snakes can attach to the Bone Fish as accelerators and protect the safety of freight.

For some small goods that are not afraid of contact with the Dead Sea, the victorious snakes can also help transport them directly.

"Chairman, I want to recruit couriers from Shengshe. I will give you generous remuneration according to market conditions."

Zhou Yi asked Dr. Da Vinci to help her coordinate.

Qiansu also customized a batch of special translation machines so that creatures like the Sheng snakes, which communicate through smell, can also communicate with humans without obstacles.

Zhou Yi saw that every day the couriers Guyu and Shengshe carried the goods and shuttled back and forth in the sea of clouds.

The express delivery center runs at high speed like clockwork.

The number of orders in the first month was 67, and after deducting the dividends from the express delivery center, there were still 1876 light seeds in the account. By the second month, the number of orders had doubled to 215, and the income reached an astonishing 6020 light seeds! Zhou Yi was shocked.

This already exceeds the benefits of the Mushroom Forest's sedimentary zone.

As expected, you still have to establish a monopoly, and you can make a lot of money.

Hong Jian brought good news: "The company's "Wasteland Express" has passed the industry rating and is currently rated B, which is a very high initial rating."

In the field of small-parcel delivery, Wasteland Express currently has no competitors.

When the express delivery industry was developing in full swing, an emergency occurred outside the Emerald City.

Hong Jian said: "The latest news is that the Dead Sea depression on the eastern coast has collapsed. The surrounding residents have been evacuated. Many gerbils have died as a result. The casualties are still being counted."

……

Zhou Yi hurried to the scene of the accident.

The so-called Dead Sea Depression is an area designated for gerbils, where they dig holes under the Dead Sea and attempt to migrate across the sea.

There were flashes of lightning in the big hole in the depression, and a large amount of stones and sand were sucked into it, forming a small strong airflow.

At Zhou Yi's command, the warrior crabs began to push the surrounding buildings to seal the hole.

Fortunately, the cave was not very large, wide outside and narrow inside, and it was soon completely blocked, and peace finally returned outside.

Zhou Yi then looked at Nemo: "The rapids have appeared, what is going on?"

The eyes of the mechanical mouse glowed yellow: "Chairman, I made the wrong decision. I accept all punishments."

Sun Chonglai, a skeleton wearing a sun hat and a jacket, also stood up and said, "I asked Nemo for help, Chairman, this is my fault..."

They explain the cause and effect.

Gerbils dig holes and migrate toward the Dead Sea, an ancient tradition that has been carried out since their numbers exploded.

Based on this, Sun Chonglai proposed to expand the hole in the depression, drain some of the Dead Sea material, and then plant mushrooms around it.

"Because the core area of the mushroom forest cannot be expanded, the number of explosive mushrooms is locked. So I thought, since the sedimentary belt is the product of dead light, then if we introduce the Dead Sea into the land for sedimentation, can we artificially create a similar environment?"

The skeleton took off his hat and his voice became much lower.

"It turns out that this was just my fantasy. Not only did the depression fail to grow the explosive mushrooms, but it also caused a collapse due to its expansion... This is all my fault, and I take responsibility for it..."

Nemo said on the side: "Chairman, the essence of this matter is that I did not manage the external tunnel digging project well, and I have to bear the main responsibility. I focused all my energy on the underground water pipeline and ignored the safety supervision here."

Zhou Yi frowned: "We'll talk about the punishment later. Under normal circumstances, would this kind of underground excavation cause a collapse?"

"No, it shouldn't."

Nemo explained: "In the past, gerbils dug holes to migrate, and more often they died under the Dead Sea outside. The high-intensity death light radiation is also fatal to gerbils. But this time there is a special situation."

"According to the surviving gerbils, they encountered a warrior crab underground, which blocked them and crushed the passage."

Warrior crab?
Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "So it was this that caused the collapse?"

He looked at the sealed cave again.

The warrior crab must be quite powerful to be able to destroy such a passage by itself.

It looks like he should be a little elite in the wild.

“It is indeed an important external factor.”

Nemo said: "The warrior crab was as big as a house, and its shape was very different from the company's warrior crab guards... It blocked the passage under the sea, causing the Dead Sea to flow back into the cave."

A warrior crab as big as a house?
Zhou Yi was curious.

Is it a new species or a variant?

As a veteran crab lover, I had to go and see the situation this time.
