Chapter 9, How many devices is free worth?
Old Butch had mixed feelings.
He is old, has experienced many hardships, and has been shouldering the safety of the entire Abandoned Cave Club on his shoulders, so he will inevitably be overthinking and suspicious about everything.
In his opinion, the hundreds of people from the Waste Cave Club report to the regiment to keep warm in the dangerous wasteland, and what they are looking for is survival.No matter what the situation is, think more and be more stable, even if you miss a lot of opportunities, it is better than taking a wrong step and losing everything.
Of course, he was extremely fortunate that the Governor had brought troops to rescue him.Without foreign aid, all of them would die.
But to be honest, what he expected most was for the governor to bring troops to kill those robbers, and then leave.Even if they have to pay a little more, that's fine.He thought about the worst situation, that is, the tax will be doubled after two years, which may starve half of the people in the Waste Hole Society, but it is better than all deaths.
But now, not only did the Governor not ask them to pay anything, but he was willing to give them more, which made Old Butch very worried.
No cost at all, and that could mean the greatest cost.
After listening to Gu Hang's speech, he couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, and he also cheered and performed along with the crowd.
What the governor said was of course what he expected, what he dreamed of.
but……
Is it really possible?
The people of the Waste Cave Club have nothing but a handful of strength.There is no technology, no equipment, and even resources such as mines are abandoned mines before the war, with small reserves and very difficult to mine.If the veins are of good quality, how could they fall into their hands?
How can they pursue a better life like this?
Old Butch couldn't imagine it.
He didn't hope so, but he couldn't help but think the worst, and felt that Gu Hang's words were all to fool them, and he might pack them up and sell them as slaves in the future.
But he is no longer the leader of the Waste Cave Society.
The current leader, Patel, seems to have been brainwashed, fanatically trusting the words of the Governor.After the governor's speech, the kid was so excited that he went away as soon as he waved his hand, saying that he wanted to discuss the future development plan of the Abandoned Cave Society.
"I was sold and paid for it!"
Old Butch could only go back to his cramped, musty-smelling little space, secretly depressed.
It didn't take long for him to be depressed, and there was a knock on his door.
Opening the door, Patel walked in.
The room was pitch black, and Patel asked, "Why didn't you turn on the lights?"
"Save a little."
"According to what the governor said, a happy life cannot be achieved by saving energy."
"Hehe, your mouth is full of the governor now."
"He saved us."
"I never denied that."
"He will bring us a bright future."
"Hmm." Old Butch was a little perfunctory, he had given up persuading Patel.
This is the end of the matter, what else could it be?
To be honest, the Waste Cave Society has no strength.Even if Patel listened to him, so what?Can you still resist the governor?
Thinking of this, he became even more disheartened.He asked without interest: "Why don't you discuss the big plan with the governor, why are you looking for me, a bad old man?"
"The discussion is over, and I'm here to ask you for help."
"So fast?"
"The governor is very particular about efficiency."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Lead our people to the surface and build settlements. We can no longer live in mines for a long time. The poor living environment will make diseases come to us."
"but……"
Old Butch hesitated.
It is of course very good to be able to live on the surface, but who would choose to live in a mine?In fact, the Waste Cave Club had plans to develop on the surface before, and they had a camp on the surface.
Then, he was beaten by the 'dead prisoner'.The dozens of people who were taken away were also taken from the surface camp.
The surface is too dangerous, and with the ability of the Abandoned Tunshe, it is impossible to defend it.
"I know what you're worried about." Patel said, "but we have the power to protect ourselves. The Governor will leave a hundred machine servants here to take charge of the security work. At the same time, we will also deliver a hundred sets Soldiers and equipment, choose people from the waste hole society, and arm a company!"
Now the old Butch was surprised.
He felt that the governor was fooling people, but he didn't expect that what he promised would be done immediately.
No, it should be two pieces.
It is one thing to arm the soldiers of the Abandoned Cave Society so that they can protect themselves; it is another thing to build houses on the surface and improve living conditions.
Change is immediate.
In this matter, Old Butch had no way to shirk.
But he was curious about another point: "You want me to help with the construction of the surface camp, so what are you doing yourself?"
It will never be military training.For this kind of thing, the governor will definitely send someone to take charge.Not to mention military power or something, even if the Feidong Society were to come by themselves, none of them would be able to do it.
"I..." Patel smiled mysteriously, and stopped playing tricks, "I want to build our own production line. New mining machines will be delivered, and there will also be alloy smelting furnaces. The Governor will not only help us improve our mineral production For the efficiency of excavation, we must directly establish a production line for the production of alloy plastic steel!"
Hearing this, Old Butch was really surprised and speechless.
Building an army and returning to the surface to live is of course very good, but to put it bluntly, it is all a fantasy.Relying on the waste hole society itself, how can it support a decent army?Don't you still have to rely on the governor's blood transfusion?
This is the core reason for Old Butch's pessimistic attitude. To live a good life, the Waste Hole Society must have sufficient value.He never expects others to give free and unlimited blood transfusions to Feidongshe, which is impossible.
Even if it is to buy people's hearts for a while, it is for the greater good.Whether it's for the sake of establishing a memorial archway to gain fame, or there are more shady plans, it's not a good thing.
But now, he knew that he was wrong, very wrong.
It is true that Gu Hang will not transfuse blood for Wudongshe without limit and free of charge, he does have something for Wudongshe.It's just that what he needs is something that the Wudong Society is far from being able to provide now.
But it doesn't matter, Gu Hang can make the waste hole society develop.When their productivity increases and their own value increases, they can afford the price Gu Hang wants.
Of course, at that time, the debt owed by the Waste Cave Club to Gu Hang may be far more than just a life-saving grace.
But Old Butch was happy with it.
Such an opportunity was what he dreamed of.
He has already fully braced himself, and the previous worries have long been thrown out of the sky: "When will it start?"
Patel teased and asked, "You said earlier that it was a misfortune rather than a blessing? What did you say that you would lose your freedom?"
Old Butch blushed, and said stubbornly: "You brat, you know nothing! Our freedom, is the equipment bought by the governor worth it?"
"Hahahaha!" Watching the old man's attitude turn 180 degrees, Patel also laughed out loud.
This is not mocking the old uncle, this is rejoicing for the future fate of all of them.
