Chapter 182: Lack of Gold Coins
Looking at the childish expression that Xu Sichen occasionally showed, everyone couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
The base commander's usual stern expression almost made them forget that the person in front of them was just a girl in her early twenties.
Chen Youhui smiled and assured, "The base commander's request must be met."
The construction of the city wall officially began. The bricks used were exchanged from the space mall. The quantity was so large that a lot of gold coins were consumed.
In order to earn gold coins, Xu Sichen not only sold all the garbage he cleared from the surrounding area to the mall, but also sold some temporarily unused items in the space to the mall.
Whenever the mall receives an item that it does not have, it will copy a new item with exactly the same properties in the mall the next day.
This made Xu Sichen not feel reluctant at all when he exchanged his inventory for gold coins.
Anyway, even if she sold all the items of a certain type, she could buy them back from the mall when she earned enough gold coins.
What surprised her the most was that when she sold the dishes in her space to the mall, the mall would copy the same dishes.
And when she bought it again from the mall, the taste was even better than the original one, especially the dishes that were based on the original flavor of the food, which made her feel familiar.
If you think about it carefully, isn’t this the taste of food in the island space?
Except for food, after careful comparison, the basic properties of the items outside after being copied by the mall are much superior.
Food has become more delicious, clothes have become more comfortable, electrical appliances have improved in performance, and even the solar energy conversion rate has increased, directly from the original 60% to 80%.
This abnormal conversion rate made Xu Sichen wish she could just ask someone to take back all the installed solar energy so that she could upgrade them all.
In the end, reason overcame impulse. After all, installing it back and forth requires a lot of manpower. It is better to wait until it breaks before replacing it.
After this discovery, Xu Sichen spent most of her time in the space, busy upgrading in the mall. If she had enough gold coins, she would have wanted to sell everything in the space to the mall for a major upgrade.
Now that building materials are needed, she sent all the building materials in the space to the mall and upgraded them.
The upgraded building is earthquake-proof, fire-proof, wind-proof and waterproof, giving you an extremely safe feeling.
After she gathered all the materials for the city wall, she found that her space was missing nearly one-third of the stock, which made her heart aching with distress.
Damn, if there weren't hundreds of kinds of goods in the mall, she might have fainted from the heartache.
These were the supplies she had collected after traveling all over the world, and they were all used up in just two days.
With sufficient building materials, the progress of the entire wall construction is very encouraging.
In just two days, a city wall of five to six hundred meters was built.
The entire city wall is about six kilometers long. At this rate of progress, does it mean that it can be completed within ten days?
Chen Youhui said confidently, "If we don't count the bunkers, turrets and other facilities that need to be built on the city wall, ten days will be enough."
United manpower, sufficient supplies, and almost perfect logistics.
This is almost the most satisfying project Chen Youhui has ever done in his life.
Xu Sichen stood under the completed section of the city wall, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
"Base commander, how many bricks and cement do we have left in stock? Is it enough for us to build the entire city wall? After the city wall is built, will there be any extra to build other buildings?" Chen Youhui came to Xu Sichen eagerly with a brick in his hand.
"Base Captain, you know what? These bricks are the best building material I've ever seen in all my years of work. Not only are they incredibly hard, they're also incredibly tough. It's unbelievable. Hardness and toughness are two opposing properties: increasing hardness reduces toughness, and vice versa. I never imagined the bricks we're using could possess both. If our base were entirely made of these bricks, we could withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 6."
Listening to Chen Youhui muttering in her ear, Xu Sichen's face slowly fell.
This brick and other building materials stored in her space were all exchanged from the mall, and their specific properties were detailed in the mall.
Earthquake-proof, fire-proof, wind-proof and waterproof, how precious it is in these disaster-ridden end times.
And precisely because she knows the superior properties of these building materials better than anyone else, she naturally wants to use these building materials in every corner of the base more than anyone else.
But she is short of gold coins!
It took nearly half of the space's supplies to buy building materials for the city wall. If all the materials in the base were replaced, the remaining materials would probably be lost.
She couldn't bear to sell it again.
The only solution is to find another way to earn gold coins.
"I have to go out in the next two days. It will probably take two to three days."
Xu Sichen found Wang Anjun and explained to him that he had temporarily handed over the management of the base to him.
As always, Wang Anjun suggested that someone go with her to protect her safety.
But Xu Sichen still refused: "Don't worry, I can protect myself and will be back in three days at most. The safety of the base is in your hands."
When talking about base security, Wang Anjun mentioned Wang Jinyang and his team.
"In the past few days, six of Wang Jinyang's group have surrendered to us. They hope we can help them rescue their families trapped in the Haichuan base."
"Wang Jinyang would leave the base every day to meet with people outside. According to your suggestion, we didn't go to stop him."
"The information conveyed was basically about the base's layout, the number of guards, firearms and equipment, etc., and Wang Jinyang seemed to have intentionally exaggerated the armed strength of our base in the information he conveyed."
As he said this he handed over a few notes.
It describes the situation of the base, and it is quite consistent.
One of the notes listed the base's armed forces.
There are thousands of powerful special forces in the guard team, equipped with weapons and equipment such as GR-37, H148M light machine guns, H305 sniper rifles, F67 sniper rifles, etc. Drones are also installed around the base, providing 360-degree surveillance without blind spots.
Xu Sichen couldn't help but almost laughed out loud when he saw it.
This Wang Jinyang, I wonder if he has watched L drama.
Wang Anjun couldn't help but grumble, "Oh, this guy is quite sensible. He knows that if a fight really breaks out, his undercover agent will definitely suffer. So he deliberately exaggerated our strength in order to scare the Haichuan base. Why didn't he write down the tanks for me?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sichen couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The content above is not exaggerated. After all, the large amount of weapons in the space is much more exaggerated than what Wang Jinyang wrote. As for tanks, she really has them.
