A box of cigarettes was deliberately flattened and some sand was sprinkled on it to make it look like it was found from a corner.
I actually exchanged more than 500 points at the trading center. It seems to be quite valuable.
Of course, it is far from enough to exchange for a deep-sea lifeboat. It requires millions of points.
In fact, the base exchanges these with private individuals because it wants rare metals, because rare metals are needed for important parts of any means of transportation, whether by sea, land or air.
The more submarines you build, the greater your power will be in protecting the seeds of civilization.
After redeeming the points, Yang Qing quietly asked the staff, "Do you want any medical devices that have been soaked in water?"
"You have?" the staff was surprised.
"Well, I'm from Xia City. I collected some when I was there before, but I was worried they were useless after being soaked in water, so I didn't bring them here. I don't know if the base can repair them, but if they can, they might still be usable."
"So I'll go to Xia City and see if I can find it again, and exchange it for some points."
The staff member nodded. "We have a dedicated mechanical maintenance engineer at our base, and they've repaired quite a few submerged machines before. However, whether you can exchange it for points depends on the engineer's evaluation. If they think the repair is worthwhile, then you can exchange it for points. If it's usable, the points will be quite high."
Yang Qing raised an eyebrow, "Then I can go and try."
The staff member said, "I heard that Xia City was hit by another tsunami. Can it still be found?"
"Let's see. There's nothing we can do if there really isn't anything." Yang Qing smiled.
After the two of them left the trading center, Leng Yi asked Yang Qing, "Do you want to take out those medical devices that were soaked in water?"
At that time, he and Yang Qing swept through all the major hospitals in Xia City. At first, they only took good medical equipment. Later, they thought that those that had been soaked in water might be repairable, so they dived into the water and found a lot of them, and put them all in the space.
Yang Qing nodded. "They won't be able to function properly if they're kept in space, and we don't know how to repair them. We might as well take them out. The military maintenance personnel might be able to fix them, and this way they won't be wasted."
"The military must have very excellent maintenance engineers. Even if they don't, they will recruit them specially. Such talents are very needed at this time." Leng Yi said.
The two went back to the yard to rest first.
He went out again the next day to continue exchanging antique paintings and books. He went into the space to rest at night. He returned to the base three days later, pretending to have returned from Xia City.
We drove a mud-covered truck covered with a tarpaulin to the trading center.
Yang Qing found the staff member he had consulted before, because since he had already told him once, there was no need to explain it again.
"Comrade, do you remember me? I said I was going to Xia City to look for medical equipment. I really found it. Can you send someone to take a look?"
"Did they really find it?" The staff were very surprised. Xia City had experienced a volcanic eruption and a tsunami, so one could imagine what it was like. Who would have thought it could still be found?
"Okay, I'll call the engineer right away and have him come over."
The engineer arrived not long after. Yang Qing asked Leng Yi to lift the tarpaulin on the truck, and saw a truck full of medical equipment, all in good condition.
The engineer was surprised. He thought that since it was found in Xia City, it must be muddy and rusty. He didn't expect it to be so intact and it didn't even look old.
"Are these really found by Xia Shi?"
"Yes, we fished it out of the water a while ago." Leng Yi explained, "It was not long after the apocalypse, and the hospital was flooded. We fished it out from underwater."
"It was raining heavily at the time, and there was no backflow of seawater, so it was just rainwater, and there was no corrosion from the seawater."
If it were now, Xia City would be different after the tsunami. The sea water flooded the entire Xia City and everything was damaged by the sea water.
"Where are you hiding?" The engineer was very curious. He was not drowned by the sea water.
"Hidden in the mountains." Leng Yi made up an excuse. There was no way to obtain evidence anyway.
"It should still be useful." The engineer quickly called people to unload all the medical equipment.
Many people came to watch the fun. This was the first time someone had found so many medical devices. These two people were no ordinary people.
The engineers first conducted the most basic power-on experiment, and as you can imagine, most of them were unusable.
In this case, we can only disassemble the machine to see what went wrong, and see if the base has spare parts that can be replaced for the problematic parts, and whether it can be used after it is repaired.
"It won't be that fast. It will take at least a week to get the results," said the engineer.
"It's okay, we can wait." Yang Qing said.
The engineer registered all the equipment and had people pull them into the warehouse to test each machine one by one.
Seeing that there was no result, everyone dispersed. They thought that they would get a lot of points by pulling such a large truck of things over. Now it seems that it is useless and may only be sold as scrap.
However, someone still came up and asked Leng Yi, "Brother, where did you get this stuff in your car?"
"Xia City." Leng Yi did not hide it.
"Anything else?" The man was very interested. "Brother, take us with you and we'll make some money together."
"No more." Leng Yi shook his head, thinking, this is my own thing, why should I help you get rich?
"This is what we hid before. It's just this one truckload. You'll have to dig underground."
The man's face changed, thinking that he was being fooled.
Xia City was hit by a volcanic eruption and a tsunami, and the buildings collapsed. No matter how we dig, the entire Xia City will be turned upside down.
Leng Yi sneered. These people just want to get something for nothing. How could such a good thing happen?
In the end, they didn't leave so quickly, and the two drove the truck back home first.
The next day, he drove the pickup truck out to exchange the goods again.
Soon after leaving the base, Leng Yi discovered that someone was following them.
"Someone is following us."
"Huh?" Yang Qing looked back and saw a small truck following slowly behind them. "Is it really following us?"
"Yes, I caught up with him shortly after leaving the base." Leng Yi nodded.
"Could it be that they also want to get a piece of the pie after bringing back so much cargo yesterday?" Yang Qing asked.
"It should be." Leng Yi sneered, but they would be disappointed.
Driving the car to the barter market, the two of them were still looking for books and paintings to exchange, and then wandered around the city.
This went on for three days, and the people behind followed for three days as well.
They didn't find anything, and those people didn't see any benefit and they wasted several days' gasoline in vain, so they stopped following and cursed.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi did not go out again.
Entered the space.
There are too many rabbits, pigs, cows and sheep in the space, and we need to kill a batch of them.
These livestock will not grow any further when they grow to a certain size, and they will not die, so they just waste food.
It’s better to kill it. It won’t go bad if you keep it in space.
Only a dozen rabbits were left and more than a hundred were killed.
The main reason is that rabbits reproduce too quickly and give birth to so many rabbits in each litter that they are almost overcrowding.
After killing the rabbit, some of it is kept, and some is made into semi-finished products such as smoked rabbit. When you want to eat it, you can take it out and cook it as you like. (End of this chapter)
