379: Chapter 379 Zong Zhengyue is 3 times happier

“Let me tell you, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce is promoting rat breeding technology in various cities along the Yangtze River. But you know, this requires a large number of breeding rats, you understand what I mean, right?” Zongzheng Yue deliberately lowered his voice, creating a sense of mystery.

“Holy crap! You mean Old Yan sold the breeding rats to the Settlement at a high price?” Suo Tonghua understood immediately.

“Smart! That guy sells one rat for two crystalss. Calculate it, how many crystalss can he earn out of thin air?” Zongzheng Yue continued to guide him.

“But the problem is, where does the Settlement get crystalss to buy his rats?” It was obvious Suo Tonghua wasn't cut out for business.

“Tsk! I just praised you, and you're already confused. Old Yan has a gun, who dares to owe him crystalss? As long as the rats are distributed, won't he be able to collect payment after a while?” Zongzheng Yue said.

“That’s true. Hey! Wait a minute. Why aren't you doing such a good business yourself? Why are you so kind as to inform me?” Suo Tonghua discovered the problem.

“Do you think I don't want to? But I don't have the goods! If you have goods, sell them quickly. After a while, there will be too many rats on the market, and this business won't be viable anymore.” Zongzheng Yue had already dug the pit for him.

Suo Tonghua didn't say anything.

“Hey! Speaking of Old Yan, he’s truly a shrewd one. He's caught all the good opportunities. It's said that he earned several million crystalss in just 3 days. Goodness, that's several million! How many Combat Suits can that buy!” Zongzheng Yue continued to fan the flames.

He was sure Suo Tonghua was already feeling sour and secretly delighted.

“I don't have rats either. But it's a good business, I should get things going.” Suo Tonghua pondered for a long time before speaking.

“What? You don't have any either? Then what are you getting going for?!” Zongzheng Yue started to mock him.

“I don't have rats, but I have rebar. Don't they need rebar to weld cages? Alright, I won't talk to you anymore, I need to act quickly!” Suo Tonghua felt like he had seized a huge business opportunity and was extremely excited.

On the other end of the phone, Zongzheng Yue was completely petrified.

Instead of making the other party sour, he himself felt doubly sour.

“Oh, right, thanks! Zong Si Yan, I have to say, you're a good person!” After that, Suo Tonghua hung up the phone.

“To hell with being a good person!” Zongzheng Yue was furious.

“No, Shentu Fu doesn't have rats or rebar, I have to go make him sour!” Zongzheng Yue was already a bit possessed at this point, his mind extremely unbalanced.

He made the call and repeated the same words.

Shen Tu Zheng Hao didn't like to chat, he went straight to the point.

“I know about Old Yan's business. When I came back from Ulan Country last time, I brought back a lot of steel. Except for a portion I kept for myself, I sold most of it to him.” Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.

“…” Zongzheng Yue was speechless.

At this moment, he felt like dying.

After all that, only he experienced triple the “joy”…

…

To express his gratitude to Left Wen Shan for handing over the letter, Niu Xingwang specially provided him with a fishing aircraft. Of course, Merlin also received one.

Thus, many Settlements along the Yangtze River have already joined the large-scale rat breeding effort.

A month passed in a flash.

Now all the cabins on the Space Station have been upgraded to Level 5.

The next step is to build a large Space Station centered around the new core cabin.

For this purpose, Xiao Lin arranged for the base's production bay to create new equipment for Oriental Chen: a holographic projection table.

This holographic projection table looked like a huge table when turned off. But the surface of this “table” was not an ordinary flat surface, but integrated with dense point light sources.

When the equipment was activated, these point light sources would perform 3D imaging above the table.

This way, the Space Station's three-dimensional structure could be displayed very intuitively.

Of course, in addition to that, it could also be used as a tactical sandbox.

“Xiao Lin, based on the current number of Worker Bee Robots, how long will it take to fully build the annular cabin?” Oriental Chen asked.

The new cabin would no longer expand through the mounting ports on the cabin as before, but would instead build a huge annular cabin around the core cabin.

Although it was called an annular cabin, it was not a complete ring.

The entire ring was divided into six independent cabins, with safety doors connecting every two adjacent cabins. The advantage of this was that if one cabin was damaged, it would not affect the normal operation of the other cabins.

Another point was that this huge annular cabin would deploy a complete ecosystem, which could support people living in it long-term.

“It will take at least 5 Blue Star years.” Xiao Lin replied.

“Now that the new core cabin has been activated, can the number of Worker Bee Robots be increased?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Yes, Commander.” Xiao Lin replied.

“How many can be expanded to?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Currently, the biggest limiting factor for the number of Worker Bee Robots is the number of material transfer halls and mounting bays. Each additional material transfer hall can add 1600 Worker Bee Robots. At the current stage, it is recommended to mount a maximum of 3 material transfer halls.” Xiao Lin replied.
