After buying three impact plates, he became a pauper again. Ma Tao only had less than 400 grams left in his hand. Apart from buying some daily necessities, he basically didn't have to think about anything. He looked through his backpack and saw that When they arrived, there were a lot of gold items inside. They were some of the gold objects found before, as well as some golden ant corpses. Ma Tao's eyes lit up, and he thought that there was also a turtle shell of an armored cannon on the No. 3 minibus. , After asking, I learned that they really accepted these things, so Ma Tao decided to sell them all. Keeping these yellow and white things was really of no use to Ma Tao, and they were not as affordable as a piece of bread.
All the items were sold for a total of more than 4,000g. The turtle shell of the armored cannon was sold for 2,000g. The rest was just enough to hold a turtle shell.
With money in hand, although it was not much, Xiao Jinzi suggested going to the side to look at special artillery shells. Ma Tao agreed, thinking about how painful it would have been for them to fight armored cannon without steel shells. If there are steel bullets for sale, I will definitely buy more. Of course, there are also iron bullets and the like. These three main battle tanks must all use special artillery shells.
According to what the earring man said, the house next door sells special artillery shells. Not far away, Ma Tao and the others drove straight over in their chariot.
When we got here, this wasn't a house, it was just a place like a big car shop. It was surrounded by walls and didn't even have a roof. The partitions were actually made of stacks of oil drums. You could actually see a few vending machines. The ground is sandy, with weeds growing in some places. There is no one to clean it up at all. Except for a place that should be a regular parking place, it is relatively flat. Some dark corners still emit this stinky smell, which is obviously being used as a pawn. Combined with the rusty smell of the abandoned oil barrels and the buttery smell of the cannonballs, plus the faint smell of gunpowder, the air in this place is simply indescribable. In short, it is very uncomfortable.
"Bah! What the hell! Profiteers, take out everything in the vending machine and sell it!"
Ma Tao and the others had just parked the tank and got out of the car when they saw a guy coming out of the oil drum enclosure with a curse. He glanced at Ma Tao and the others, turned around and climbed onto the gray Panther tank on the side, and then With the roar of the engine, the gray Panther drove directly away from here.
"Tch! If you can't afford it, don't buy it. A poor guy who rents a car really thinks he is a hero! Bah!"
As soon as the gray tank left, another man in overalls came out of the oil drum fence. He looked at the direction of the tank with a stern face, yelled and spit in confusion, but soon, he Then I found business coming to my door again.
"Hey! You two! Are you looking at the cannonballs? Come in and take a look, I have them all!!!"
His work clothes turned against him faster than turning over a book. One second he was so angry, but the next second he suddenly changed into a smile on his face and started greeting Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi.
Because he disliked the bad environment here, Gao Han didn't get out of the car at all. His sister also stayed in the car. The only people who got out of the car were Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi.
"Oh! You can't clean up this place..."
Ma Tao was speechless when he saw a lump of excrement that had turned dark brown and solidified where he parked his chariot. He almost vomited out all the food he had eaten yesterday.
"Hey, it's a small business and I don't have any money."
The overalls glanced at the black-brown biological weapon, then kicked it twice with his feet and covered it with sand on the spot, completely turning it into a pile of landmines. It would depend on who was unlucky enough to step on it.
This guy is skilled in laying mines and does it in one go. He has obviously done this a lot. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi looked at each other and were convinced. In this environment, if it weren't for selling cannonballs, they wouldn't want to stay for a second longer. I don't know. How this guy survives here is also a god.
"Please come inside"
The overalls stretched out his hands and began to invite the two people into the enclosure. As they came in, he asked, "Do you want to buy ordinary artillery shells or special artillery shells?"
"Nonsense, ordinary artillery shells are still used for you."
Xiao Jinzi said.
"That means special artillery shells, please take a look!"
As he spoke, he moved his work clothes to the counter in a few steps. He pointed at the four special bombs on the counter and began to introduce them in a routine manner: "Let me state in advance that this store does not accept credit. Gasoline bombs, 50g each, stink bombs , 5g each, steel bullet 50g each, bomb 40g each, please choose."
"This stink bomb? What kind of shell is it? Does it have any effect?"
The four types of special shells were placed there. Looking at the stink bombs on the counter that were basically the same as ordinary shells, and only cost 5g, they were so cheap, let alone a small amount of gold, that Ma Tao was curious.
"It has no effect. There is a chance that it is a dumb bomb, and there is a possibility of the barrel exploding. It is just an ordinary artillery shell that has exceeded its useful life."
The smile on the work clothes' face was very bright. He smiled and gave an explanation. When the two of them heard it, they said, good guys, stay away quickly.
"Holy crap! It can also explode! How dare you sell this! Why don't you just label it as a suicide bomb!!!"
Xiao Jinzi pointed at the stink bomb and didn't know what to say.
"Why can't you sell it? It's so cheap. There's a high probability that it can still be used normally. Out of ten rounds, at most four are unusable, and they sell very well."
Work clothes said disapprovingly.
Four out of ten are unusable, a two-fifth probability, and they sell well... Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi were completely speechless. These days, everyone really has one. In order to save some money, This is OK.
"Other cannonballs won't work and won't work."
Facing such a businessman, Ma Tao doubted that this guy would sell other low-quality shells at a high price.
"Don't worry, I guarantee there will be no problem."
The man in work clothes patted his chest in assurance, but the gold content of his words really made people uneasy.
"You can check"
Overalls continued.
Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi looked at each other. To be on the safe side, Ma Tao decided to buy a few fewer coins.
In the end, Ma Tao's original plan to replenish the three main battle tanks with more special artillery shells was rejected by himself. He only purchased five steel shells for each tank, spending more than 700g. In this way, three tanks One round of the chariot's attack, three steel bullets
Even if there are unusable ammunition in it, other tanks will not be inoperable, and major problems will not occur at critical moments.
When leaving, Ma Tao saw that the steel bullets in the two rusty vending machines were only 25g each. Good guy, they were twice as expensive, but they showed that they were out of stock. Obviously They are all monopolized by the work clothes there, so I just buy them anyway.
“Dear guest, please go slowly and welcome your next visit.”
The work clothes were smiling at each other at the door, watching the four tanks drive out, and then happily returned to the counter to pick up the more than 700 grams they had just earned, and couldn't stop having fun.
When they returned to the hotel, the boss greeted them very politely, letting everyone feel the VIP treatment again. Moreover, the hotel also prepared food for them. Although the food was not good, luckily it was free. , and everyone is not picky about food.
After Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi returned to their room and had something to eat, Ma Tao used his communication watch to contact Su Lanxi, who told him that his sister had rested and that they had already eaten.
After calling Su Lanxi out, Ma Tao handed her two sets of silver-clad mechas, steel boots, rocket launchers and swords. There were a lot of things, so Ma Tao sent them to the door for her and watched her put them all away. Taking it into the room, looking at Su Lanxi's beautiful face, it suddenly occurred to me that I had forgotten one piece of equipment, that is, I hadn't bought a helmet for Su Lanxi yet.
The head has no defense at all. A bullet will kill someone. However, Ma Tao has not seen helmet-type protective items for sale in human weapons stores before, but this is not a problem for him. He has heard of it before. , in the residential area behind the town, there are some people who like to live in tents.
Like living in a tent, it is such a familiar thing. There is no doubt about the identity of those guys. They must be businessmen. All Ma Tao has to do is to find the tents of these businessmen and buy a helmet.
In Tazhen, such a tent is easy to find. Braving the scorching sun and enduring the sweltering heat brought by the high temperature, Ma Tao inquired all the way and finally found the location of the tent.
This is a giant tent covered by a rather large tarpaulin. When you open the door curtain, a cool breeze blows on your face. There is actually air-conditioning and cold wind inside. Good guy, you are a businessman after all. Although your accommodation here is simple, it is really luxurious. , but Ma Tao still underestimated how luxurious a businessman can be.
The area of the tent is definitely about two hundred square meters. The ground is covered with a very soft Persian carpet, and it is golden yellow. The patterns are also very gorgeous and beautiful. It is full of rich gold. There are tables, chairs, benches, bed cabinets and sinks, everything inside. Ma Tao even saw the refrigerator, which was simply a status symbol in the hot Tower Town.
"anything?"
As soon as you enter the door, you are blocked by three display cabinets covered with cloth. There are also a large pile of materials piled on the ground, but they are all covered and you can't see what is inside. One of them has a turban on his head. The man looked at Ma Tao who was alone and said.
"Is this a merchant camp?"
Although Ma Tao had already confirmed that he was in the right place when he saw the covered display cabinets.
"What do you want to buy? I don't have much left."
Seeing that Ma Tao's equipment was good, the man in the turban did not deny his identity. He stretched out his hand and pulled open the curtains on the three display cabinets, revealing the items inside.
"Is there a silver helmet? I just want a silver helmet. It's okay if the price is higher."
Ma Tao took a look and found that they were mainly weapons. Compared to the human equipment store in Tower Town, the things here were a little bit junk. All the equipment sold were equipment that Ma Tao had eliminated before, such as flame cannons, flying dragon fire, etc. , now I can only barely defeat the weaker monsters, and I have to pray that I don’t encounter mechanical or large ones, and protective ones, such as semi-wrapped mechas such as copper-clad mechas and steel-clad mechas. , Ma Tao asked this question because he didn't see the silver helmet.
"You're lucky, there's only one left, and I put it away."
As he spoke, the man in the turban leaned over and took out a silver helmet from under the counter, without any change in expression on his face. He stretched his hand forward and continued: "860g, pay first."
"certainly"
Ma Tao came here to buy this thing. Why didn't he bring any money? After paying, he got the silver helmet.
"Husband, they said there will be a small oasis if you go northeast along the mountain and through the desert..."
Just when Ma Tao lowered his head to check the silver helmet in his hand, a door curtain inside was opened. A woman in a pink dress came out with some equipment in her hand and spoke. Suddenly she saw Ma Tao outside. Tao was stunned for a moment and was glared hard by the turbaned man. He quickly shut up, then turned around, opened the curtain and went back inside.
"Do you want to buy anything else? If you don't want to buy anything, you can leave."
The man in the turban spoke in a somewhat impatient tone, with a hint of warmth and anger on his face. He was obviously angry with his woman.
Ma Tao knew that profit-seeking businessmen like them would sell anything. If Ma Tao overheard any useful news, it would be a big loss for him.
Ma Tao knew it was time to leave. He had not gone far after saying goodbye when he heard a woman's cry and begging for mercy coming from the tent.
Along the mountains and through the desert to the northeast... there are oasis...
Shaking his head, Ma Tao recalled what the woman had just said and remembered it secretly.
Returning to the hotel with the silver helmet, as soon as he opened the door, Ma Tao smelled the pungent smell of something burning. He subconsciously thought it was on fire. Just when he was about to call for fire, he saw Xiao Jinzi concentrating on the fire. There was something on the big table, and the welding pen in his hand that emitted dazzling light from time to time was tapping on something.
"What are you doing?"
When he saw that he had made it, Ma Tao was worried that the cigarette would bring the boss downstairs to come to him, so he quickly closed the door and looked at Xiao Jinzi's table full of electronic parts with a confused look on his face.
There were some things on the table that Ma Tao knew, such as the radar they disassembled on the Radar Flower Tree, and the equipment 'map' that Ma Tao found in Longitude Tana.
"I'm connecting to the satellite."
Xiao Jinzi, who was very focused on welding electronics, didn't even glance at Ma Tao. He was immersed in his own world and opened his mouth to reply.
replied.
"Connect...satellite..."
Ma Tao was still a little confused.
Xiao Jinzi stopped what he was doing, put down the welding pen, and then looked up at Ma Tao. Seeing that he didn't understand at all, he sighed helplessly and continued: "Don't we lack satellite signal receiving equipment? Now we have There happens to be a radar, and if it can be regarded as a receiver, if I can get this done, let alone connect it to a miniature, I can transport the cosmic rail gun in the sky, and then I will be invincible in the world."
The more Xiao Jinzi talked, the more excited he became, and later on, he was almost dancing.
"What the hell? Are you going to use monster parts to connect to the satellite? Are you not afraid of connecting to Noah?"
Ma Tao was also convinced. This kid dared to think and do anything.
"How will you know if you don't try it? Besides, this is a radar part. Noah can use it. Why can't I use it after studying it?"
Xiao Jinzi curled his lips and replied.
"So how is your research going now?"
Ma Tao asked back.
"There are still two solder joints left, and we are basically done!"
Mentioning this, Xiao Jinzi looked very proud and proud.
"Then you try and let me see"
Seeing that he was so confident, Ma Tao's curiosity was aroused by him. To be honest, to be honest, if he could connect to the satellite and activate the orbital gun, he would be close to invincible. Ma Tao was also looking forward to it.
"Just watch it!"
After Xiao Jinzi finished speaking, he picked up a pair of sunglasses from the side and began to continue welding the electrofusion point.
Ten minutes later, what was placed in front of Ma Tao was a piece of equipment that was so ugly that it looked like a mess.
"It's done! My radar locator is finished and it is quite practical."
Xiao Jinzi clapped his hands, looking very satisfied with this ugly device he had worked so hard to research.
“Next, it’s time to witness the miracle!!!”
Xiao Jinzi clicked the power switch with a hand that was trembling with excitement, and then waited quietly.
As the power was turned on, this ugly radar locator started running. First, the power light came on, then the motor fan rotated, and the map instrument screen lit up. There was a "whining" sound of the equipment running, and then the connected radar It began to rotate clockwise, and the current location was instantly displayed on the map screen. As soon as the horizontal line reached the screen, it kept rotating, scanning the area displayed on the map, and the two people suddenly became excited.
"Success!!! I succeeded!!!!"
Xiao Jinzi stood up excitedly for a second.
Phew~
Zi~~~
The fan's rotating motor started to fail first, and then a spark burst out from the various power cords connected like a mess of wires, and a ball of flames ignited. All equipment shut down instantly. Ma Tao quickly picked up the side. He rounded up the torn rag on his arm and started to whip out the fire, but the electronic fire became more and more intense. Xiao Jinzi had quick eyesight and quick hands and unplugged the power source directly, but the fire was still spreading. Just when Ma Tao was anxious, along with There was a puff of white smoke, and Xiao Jinzi put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.
"Fortunately, you brought the fire extinguisher, otherwise you would have set the hotel on fire."
Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi, whose face was darkened by smoke and holding the car fire extinguisher he had bought before, looking like he was crying without tears. It was hard to say anything to him.
"How could this happen...it shouldn't be...everything is obviously right..."
The open flame was extinguished, but Xiao Jinzi was still there. Looking at the pile of burnt wires and white smoke, he muttered to himself, unable to understand what went wrong.
"Forget it, we have time to study together, you can clean up this pile first."
Ma Tao was really afraid that this kid would really set the house on fire, so he quickly helped him clean up the pile of electronic parts on the table. He didn't know where the kid got all these.
Suddenly he saw a radiator from a monster chariot on the table. Suddenly, Ma Tao understood. Good guy, this guy took it apart from the inside of those mechanical monsters. I'm saving some. Maybe this guy can still You can use this pile of parts to assemble a mechanical monster.
"What went wrong..."
Xiao Jinzi, whose consciousness was a little dull, didn't care about Ma Tao packing up the pile of things. He just stood there and repeated this sentence with his eyes straight. Suddenly, the kid's eyes flashed, and then he stopped Ma Tao who was packing up. The thing's arm exclaimed: "I understand! It's the processor! It's the processor that can't run!!!"
Xiao Jinzi's sudden action startled Ma Tao, but he was really happy for him when he heard that he had thought of the problem. But within two seconds of being happy, he heard another sentence in his ears, which instantly made him fall into rock bottom. Just when he thought A few words of encouragement were instantly swallowed into my stomach.
"No, it's the motor. The motor doesn't have enough horsepower to drive it?"
Xiao Jinzi hugged Ma Tao's arm and muttered.
The latter slowly pulled his hand back, understanding that the results would not be seen in a short time. This kid didn't even figure out what was wrong. He wanted to continue cleaning up, but this kid hugged him again. With his arms, he suddenly understood that it was impossible to make this kid give up. He had already turned into the corner of the bull, and there was no way to pull him back now.
"That thing, you do it first, I'll watch from the side and cheer you on."
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he sat on the chair across from him, found a comfortable position, and watched him move the pile of wires and electronic accessories over and over again. In fact, Ma Tao mainly wanted to continue putting out the fire, but Ma Tao Thao really underestimated the destructive power of this kid.
Phew~ A thick and pungent white smoke rose into the sky.
Ma Tao quickly opened the window.
Click! An electronic accessory flew out, shot far away, and was firmly nailed to the wall. It was as powerful as a bullet.
Ma Tao quickly found something stronger to use as a shield.
Phew~ Another ball of flames burst out.
Ma Tao, who had been on guard for a long time, quickly put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.
Boom! The battery exploded.
Ma Tao......
"Fuck..."
