154. Trade, or trade
It takes a subway to Nomorigen from the Star Gate Front Base. The straight line distance is about 2,000 kilometers, which takes an hour and a half.
Muladin and others were good at drinking, but their alcohol tolerance was really limited. They were too excited on the subway and sang their traditional folk songs, which made Karami and others very uncomfortable. In contrast, although Karami and others spoke long-winded, their words were not meaningful, and their logic was chaotic, they were indeed more cultivating.
Zheng Ran sat alone in front of the subway porthole, with a hard copy spread on his legs, and he could vaguely see that it was covered with formulas and various strange graphics.
Duda quickly turned his eyes back and listened quietly to Muladin's bragging about his hometown Tieluburg and Karami's complaints. Of course, green leafy vegetables are indispensable in the topic. This specialty is very popular among the locals. Even when Fu Yiguo returned to the moon, many people's eyes were filled with tears of reluctance.
The journey of one and a half hours passed quickly. The subway slowed down in the tunnel, and the strong light signal lights in the tunnel shot into the porthole, forming spots of different colors.
When the local iron gate opened, Duda felt the spirit of the so-called main city.
Unlike the front line base, after getting off the subway at Nomoregan, you have to pass through the long corridor before you can enter the main body of the city through the Black Gate. This city is closer to Duda's understanding of the city, and is an open plan city rather than a circular strip city.
In contrast, the Star Gate Base is actually not a city, it is just a residential point established by the subway tunnel.
Karami took a deep breath and sighed: "I finally returned to my dear hometown."
Duda looked up at the smooth dome dot decorated with twinkle minerals, as if he was back under the real night sky. He took a deep breath and found that there was a strange fragrance in the air.
"It smells like some kind of barbecue." Feihu twitched his nose and pointed his finger. "On there!"
"Normoregan's specialty, barbecue rat skewers." Karami smiled. "Don't worry, there are arrangements for treating you to dinner during the itinerary, and there will definitely be no missing on the table. Only Normoregan's fresh rat meat makes this delicious!"
Duda asked meat questions at the front line of Star Gate, but did not involve specific livestock breeds. He had some bad premonition and asked, "Your main meat... isn't it rats, right?"
"Is there any problem?" Karami noticed Duda's concern, "The meat of these mice is very tender and delicious."
"Don't you eat mice?" Feihu looked at Duda in surprise. "That kind of small animals is difficult to catch and cannot be kept in captivity. But the taste is really good!"
Duda looked at Feihu with a twitching corner of her mouth.
"Is there any other meat besides mice?" Duda asked.
"There are also rock fish in the sea and thunderbirds in the rift." Karami said helplessly. "After entering the underground world, we have much fewer choices."
"We need the latter two kinds of meat." Duda said decisively.
"The yield of rock fish and thunderbirds is very low..." Karami said, "and it is still a fishing ban period, and it may be available in June next year."
"Do you need meat?" Muladin came over, "We have a large area of wild boar farming. There are bears, deer, and all over the mountains. Why don't you ask me?"
"Why can you raise livestock on the ground?" Duda pointed to Karami, "They can only eat mice!"
"Except for a few insect hunting, other insects will not have any effect on livestock. As for eating rats..." Muladin said inexplicably, "Since ancient times, rats were our staple food. Don't you eat them?"
"Not to eat..." Duda glanced at Feihu, "That is the cat's staple food."
"We have enough mice, why waste time raising other animals..." Karami said. "Our life is short, but there are always too many problems."
Duda could understand the enthusiasm of these scientists in his heart, and believed that they did not mind whether the food was single.
but……
As an alien visitor, Duda tried not to think about the meat he ate on the front line of the Star Gate... Fortunately, Huo Jia had a big appetite and ate most of the barbecue... Duda felt a little grateful. He turned to look at Huo Jia and found that the big man didn't mind what he ate.
As for Song Yun and Duda found that it was also a kind of happiness to not understand what others said at some point.
Muladin remakes on Duda's waist: "Don't worry, my friend, I can sell you any number of things I want! The old rules, the same weight of green vegetables! Or half weight of wine is the kind we drink."
Fortunately, the wine is brewed by our own home, but if it is Maotai, it will be a loss.
Duda thought to himself.
"Trade!" Duda slapped Muladin's hand with ease, "Maybe we can reach more deals."
"This is a good start!" Muladin grinned.
Karami was not happy to see her friends become friends of rude dwarves, and kept urging everyone to go quickly so that they could catch the shuttle bus to the House.
The steam-squirting bus drove over along the tracks laid on the ground, but slowed down and did not stop. Karami shouted and called Duda and his group to jump into the car, but finally no one fell down.
There are no seats in the bus, only iron bars with high and low levels. Duda, Feihu and Song Yun can only bow and stand in the carriage for people to watch. Huo Jia, who is like a giant, has to stand directly on the top of the carriage, making people worried whether it will crush this poor bus.
"Where is Zheng Ran?" Du Da asked.
"Well, when you were talking about the deal just now, the people from the Science Committee had already taken him away." Karami felt a little thrill of revenge, and Duda didn't stand in the right direction.
This can be regarded as a feather flock of birds of a feather flocking, and scientists have a common language wherever they go.
Well, Zheng Ran and they really have a common language now.
Thinking of this, Duda was too lazy to care about that guy. What he was more concerned about now was the situation of the army soldiers, which were guns, vehicles, exoskeleton armor, and it could be said that it was the first pot of gold that the mercenary group started.
After Zheng Ran mastered the alien language ability, Duda felt somewhat urgency. If the military had its own translation, it would probably not be his turn to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Duda couldn't help but worry about the efficiency of Karami and his group of people. If they were as chaotic as they were, then would it take the year of the monkey and horse to finish the work?
"Look! That's the flag of our Iron Fort!" Muladin shouted suddenly at a building not far away.
Duda looked in the direction of his finger and saw a dome building, with a crimson curtain hanging beside the tall cylinder, with patterns painted on it - the crossing of the hammer and the battle axe.
"We're going to get off!" Muladin shouted loudly in an exotic accent, and the bus really slowed down.
Duda also jumped down, followed by Feihu and Huo Jia.
When Song Yun wanted to jump, the steam bus had already accelerated. She looked at Karami beside her, who was also looking at her with grievance.
Muladin was obviously tall and burly among the locals. With his domineering armor, he was like a human-shaped tank along the way, which scared passers-by to dodge and look sideways. Duda was half taller than the locals, and followed Muladin without any effort, his ears filled with praises: "Oh my God, this person is so tall..."
When Huo Jia slowly followed the team, all the praise was strangled in his throat, and no one dared to look up at the giant like a hill.
The Iron Fort Ambassador who received the news welcomed Muladin at the gate.
The two equally strong men seemed very familiar, hugging each other, patting their backs, and touching their cheeks. Duda felt that she had goose bumps, and forced herself to turn her face away and observe the majestic embassy.
The entire building is full of round vaults, 3 meters high, which is completely impossible for Huo Jia to enter, and for Duda and Feihu, it is just the height of an ordinary residence... It is indeed a very majestic building for the locals.
"This is my friend," Muladin introduced, "they saved me under the siege of millions of tank bugs. At that time, there were hundreds of dragon insects in the sky! Countless spherical lightning flashes were flying all over the sky... You would never imagine the scene at that time! Dear Teklin!"
Duda was extremely speechless and had to smile slightly, indicating that some of the content was in line with the facts.
"You saved my friend!" The ambassador named Teklin stepped forward and held Duda's hand, "That is, my friend! May our friendship last forever!"
"Friendship lasts forever," Duda smiled, "so let's talk about the serious business first."
"Yes, Teklin, they want to buy a large batch of meat from us... Uh, what meat do you want?" Muladin turned to Duda.
"I want any kind of meat, but what I'm talking about is about my fellow countrymen's suspected robbery." Duda said.
Teklin took a step back and said, "If it were this... the law cannot be traded."
"There must be a remedy in your law, right?" Duda asked. "We need to fight the bugs together, why not quickly turn this unpleasant page over?"
Teklin began to remain silent, paced back and forth, as if he was in a fierce psychological struggle. Finally, he firmly said: "Fighting against the Zerg is the highest mission of all human beings. Under this banner, any crime has a reason to be redeemed. I can contact you His Highness, but you have to give me a sure letter, how much you are willing to pay."
"Green vegetables, wait for weight." Duda offered the previous offer from Muladin.
"No, this must be Muladin's offer." Teklin glanced at Muladin who said nothing and said bluntly, "Madoran is a wise leader. He will not only value those small profits like Muladin. You must be generous, generous, and focus on the overall situation!"
Duda suddenly felt like he was being educated, but he could not deny that the ambassador did make sense.
Not only makes sense, it is simply wise! ()
