Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Not to mention that Nanding’s current manufacturing level is only fake, which is not much better than the lowest-grade garbage that is completely unusable.

The economical prosthetic series, even if it is of the highest quality, will cause a large amount of related attribute reduction to the person being transformed.

In severe cases, the percentage can reach 90%.

It’s like if Huang Xiang had replaced his legs with two economical ones, let alone making great achievements in action and moving freely, he would probably have difficulty even standing up and taking two steps, and he would definitely not be able to run away.

——But no matter what, it’s better to have it than not to have it.

After all, no matter what, there is a difference between having and not having.

If the patient receiving treatment and reconstruction only has one of his limbs missing, he can use it with confidence. Even if he doesn't get much improvement, it is better than his previous condition.

"My current level is not good enough, so I have to use skeleton muscles," Nan Ding said. The so-called skeleton 'muscle' mechanics have been studied clearly. It is actually a special hydraulic system. However, whether it is skeletons or other mechanical creatures, they do rely on this system to move. Some even burst out with power far beyond the limit. "Now it's just practice. If it's just to make this level of prosthesis, such high-end accessories should not be used in the future. They can be recycled when the time comes."

Her words were full of longing.

The Economy Series is just as its name suggests, not only is it cheap, economical and environmentally friendly... more importantly, it is also cheap to produce.

If this technology is fully mastered, even with the current production capacity of Shandi, mass production can be carried out.

The cost would be worse than making a good all-steel knife for the warrior.

She also gained a deeper understanding of the extent of the profiteers of the orthodox Hive Clan.

And just as Nan Ding had discussed with Su Cheng, the more wars there are in a place, the more likely it is that there will be soldiers and civilians who need them... Just this one in her hand might be able to restore the productivity of the pillar of a family.

This is the case with the land of Shem, which was once plagued by beasts.

The same is true in other places on the mainland.

Lu Meng understood what Nan Ding meant.

She wants to stay and study further.

This female doctor has accumulated enough experience with the human body in the Flash Land and the Swamp. She brought her intern, Dr. Zhong, with her and was a ruthless person who directly restored the organ transplant technology.

Now it's shared by Wolfe.

If you concentrate on studying, it is possible to make further breakthroughs on this route; as one of the largest relay stations, the Depression Lagoon Town has sufficient equipment and spare parts.

The fundamental reason why the economical series is not good is that the Hive Clan is stingy. This can be used as a mass-produced and low-end product, focusing on "cost-effectiveness"; but if various ancient components recycled from security spiders and technology hunters are used, and the design concept remains unchanged, just by piling up the materials, perhaps a new series of mechanical prostheses that are usable can be produced.

The quantity won’t be too many, probably about a hundred or eighty sets.

But this is a great boost to the morale and faith of the Order of Ashes.

You know, there are only 20 to 30 warrior guards among them, who are called "Iron Hand" because the original member Huang Jie's right hand was modified. They are already elite.

Lu Meng had no reason to disagree.

First of all, Wolfe's attitude was very clear. Because Lu Meng shared the news about the scholar, he had already repaid enough goodwill.

For them, the biggest transactions are not worldly money trade, but knowledge for knowledge, information for information.

It was just to help the mechanic and his apprentice. For others, or even most technology hunters, guarding against possible attacks by the human skin bandits might still be troublesome, but Lu Meng didn't care.

Don't worry about having too much debt.

On the other hand.

If Nandin stays to study, who will take care of his Embers Iron Guards once their prosthetic limbs wear out?

Lu Dai: “…”

You must have calculated it in advance!
She had long seen that her teacher admired Nanning's talent and had even extended an olive branch to her. Now she had "got what she wanted". On the contrary, she, the genuine disciple, seemed to have been driven out in disgust.

But it’s still that woman!
Of course, this is not the case.

But reason is reason. If it were the person involved, no one could stop Lu Dai from having such a sense of déjà vu, which made her even more crazy.

Protection starts very early.

But she is like a salted fish.

He followed behind Lu Meng, not even bothering to turn over.

Shi Cha was also going crazy.

Unlike Lu Dai's complex feelings, his emotions are much simpler.

Damn, sad mining town!

Although Lu Dai was born in Lake Town and had heard many legends about Ai Mine Town, to be honest, her emotions were more about her reluctance to leave home.

I had no idea what I was about to encounter.

Maybe I'm even a little excited deep down.

Shi Cha was different. As a traveling merchant, his understanding of regions and routes was his specialty.

An accidental move.

It is really possible to be buried on the spot.

After the reunion, the young noble of the Shi family forgot his previous awe and fear of the mystery, and chased after Lu Meng: "Lord Lu, are you sure? You have to think this through..."

"That place is a place where you can't even buy coins."

He couldn't help but issue the most serious threat and warning within the Merchant Guild.

Sad mining town.

It was once the leader of the mining industry and the old imperial capital.

Now it has become a burden that even the neighboring South United City and the Technology Hunters are blaming each other and no one is willing to get involved too much.

They were not unaware that many relics of the old times might be buried in this abandoned city. The Mine Town was destroyed by rebellion rather than natural decline, and its resources needed to be reused.

But, as the saying goes in Aikuan Town.

There are also differences between mines.

Some are open-pit mines and natural treasures. As long as you bend down, you can pick up gold. The mining difficulty is extremely low.

For example, the copper mine at the hub station, and in Ai Mine Town is the royal mine, which belongs to the lords and nobles and Emperor Anxi himself.

The remaining poor and rotten ores were often found deep in the mountains and forests, thousands of feet underground. The rugged mine tunnels created by thousands of years of excavation were enough to make outsiders get lost. Even if they were found, it was impossible for people to transport the ores themselves. It was too heavy and laborious. They could only smelt them into refined metals on the spot and hand them over to professional transportation teams.

It is illegal to privately found a furnace, and the smelting machines are in the hands of tax officials.

——That’s all in the past.

In fact, Hui once said that when the Bloody Rebellion broke out, the reason why the rebels were able to attack the imperial city without being noticed was because of the mine tunnels that had changed to the point that even the guards in the city could not identify them. Many members of the rebel army were miners whose families had lived in the mines for more than a dozen generations.

But it was suppressed with the Bloody Rebellion.

The city-state itself has become a "waste mine" that is difficult to excavate.

"Forget about the mines and coins... the order there has completely changed." Shi Cha said sincerely, looking nervous. "Master Lu, can you imagine the consequences of a city-state with a population of hundreds of thousands suddenly losing all its income one day and being completely isolated from the world?"

The rebellion was called bloody because it was stained with the blood of the rebels and nobles. The later suppression by the united army was mainly fought in the streets of the town of Mine. The opponents were those warriors who were unwilling to give up their achievements and retreat, such as the former Mine Watch and Gray.

But just like the environment of Ai Mining Town, even they themselves are not sure whether there are still threats in the mines and deep mountains, let alone foreign coalition forces.

This is also the reason why they did not choose to accept the takeover of the mining capital, but instead withdrew with the prisoners after clearing out the rebels on the streets.

What’s even more cruel is that they directly ordered a blockade.

Ai Mine Town was famous for its mining industry. It was also the imperial capital of the United Cities at that time, a dual center of industry and administration... It could be said that there was almost no agricultural population, and all food was imported from outside.

The few farmlands in the suburbs had already been trampled by the coalition forces, and the farmers were abducted as slaves.

With famine looming throughout the entire Southern United City at the time, not to mention that there was no surplus food at the center of the rebellion, the coalition forces themselves would probably be trapped and starved to death if they stayed any longer.

After the rebellion was quelled.

The guild's grain transport team was late, but no one blamed them, or dared to do so.

Because at that time they had already controlled the lifeline of food and grass that was enough to support the entire Southern Union, so that the nobles of the major city-states could agree to elect the northern lord Tengu to the throne; but this supply did not include the Ai Mine. In order to ensure the blockade, the Merchant Guild, with the tacit consent of the nobles, swallowed up and merged several original trade routes in the surrounding area, completely completing the unification of the trade network.

As a result, Aikuang Town ran out of ammunition and food.

It is hard to say whether all the Bloody Remnants were starved to death, because later it became a label that was arbitrarily applied to wanted criminals and political opponents within the United City, until the emergence of "anti-labor elements" such as anti-slavery activists replaced this status.

But the original hundreds of thousands of citizens... Shi Cha couldn't imagine what they had been through, but he knew that the "order" that had allowed the remaining people to survive until now was also operating in the Ai Mine Town at this moment.

In comparison, the bandits on the road are like little white rabbits, friendly and polite.

It is absolutely not something that those of them who live in a 'peaceful' environment can interfere with.

When Shi Cha said this to Lu Meng, a tech hunter was sitting next to him, leaning on the table and cracking melon seeds - to be precise, he can no longer be called a tech hunter, because after the battle in the lower city, Chad had officially withdrawn from the tech hunter organization.

The Black Claw brought by Lin Ji had taken over the management at that time. Some of them even recognized Chad, which made many people surprised and regretful.

But Chad didn't care.

He admitted that what Shi Cha said was right.

If not for this, Ji Hai, who was originally the young master of the White Eyebrow Clan, would not have changed his mind and joined the ranks of the 'Bloody Remnants' just after visiting Ai Mine Town.

It is also conceivable why Lukin, who was born in Ai Mining Town and is a true descendant of slaves, would have such a great hatred for the noble lords of the United Cities.

Because what they saw was real hell on earth.

Completely different from the outside world.

Chad considered himself lucky because he had the opportunity to escape from that sea of ​​suffering like other Mine Hunters instead of sinking into it.

The reason why he dared to go deep into the secrets of those continents instead of staying in the depressions and lagoons to perform some simpler tasks was because he could feel more relaxed in those environments.

It reminds him of the town of Mine.

It can be said that it is a concentrated wasteland.

——How could he not be moved when his two good friends were like this?

It's just that I can suppress it better.

Chad joined the Tech Hunters simply because it was the only way out for the people of Mine Town, but after experiencing the battle of the Lowland Lagoon, he seemed to see different possibilities.

So, just like when Bo met Hui and learned about the anti-slavers, Chad finally understood the other party's mood when he left the organization.

So, I dared to be like her.

Leave everything behind and follow Lu Meng back to the old place.

On the other side, Shi Cha was still persuading.

He certainly wouldn't be in the same state of mind as Chad.

After all, this noble family was not a fool. The reason why he was willing to follow this group of people was not only because he was forced by the situation, but also because he wanted to use their identity and status to help the Shi family regain a foothold in Kaidun City.

Unexpectedly.

According to what Lord Lu said, they were not just passing through Ai Mine Town on their way to Kaiton City - the former was their only destination!

After hearing Shi Cha's words, Lu Meng was not surprised or impatient, because he already knew it.

"I suddenly remembered why you bid for that collection in the store. It was an 'ancient staff'. It might be a bit old, but the quality was average. Not many people would be interested in it." He said slowly as if chatting, "At least, you are definitely not one of them."

The merchant aristocrats are quite smart.

"You figured it out," Shi Cha paused. He didn't expect the other party to bring it up again. "That was the gift I was planning to prepare."

There are people who need to be pleased in Kaiton City.

He is also interested in ancient weapons.

It has the style of an aristocratic family.

That is……

"Your information is a little late," Lu Meng patted his shoulder and stood up. Shi Cha wanted to follow, but Lu Meng's next sentence made him freeze in place:

"Tian Xin Li Zheng has arrived at Ai Mine Town, a place that everyone avoids."

"Fortunately, your gift has not been given away." The young man smiled, leaving the young noble alone to think, "His vision is very accurate."
