Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded

This street still has its original appearance.

It should be two spacious research institutes. After You Wuchang announced the addition, the surrounding areas were crowded with other superpowers' residences.

In addition to the weapons sold by the research institute, it is extremely crowded here.

Although other shops are also selling weapons.

But most of them are second-hand dealers.

In the past, the research institute rarely sold itself, but wholesaled in batches to the shops below, which has achieved a rapid return of funds.

And now, there is another one in You Wuchang's new policy, superpowers can get a 30% discount on the original price.

Those individual bosses and shops will naturally not honor You Wuchang's orders.

Isn't this taking your own wool and giving preferential treatment to others?

Moreover, You Wuchang does not give any subsidies, which is a real robbery from individual bosses.

Individual bosses naturally don't do it.

You Wuchang has no energy to intervene or no reason to force individual bosses to execute his orders, but as a research institute directly under the shelter, the orders must still be executed.

Therefore, this has caused the research institute to "produce and sell in one go" and not all superpowers consume here.

And those individual bosses have completely lost the free market.

For You Wuchang, the economy has not lost its vitality.

But the authorities are confused, while the bystanders are clear. From a God's perspective, this is undoubtedly a landmine.

At this time, Song You has entered the gate of the institute.

He found that a group of people were gathered outside the temporary shop opened by the institute. From time to time, people exclaimed and heard the sizzling sound of weapons being quenched.

Song You couldn't help but look over curiously.

After some understanding, he realized.

They were gambling on swords.

The shapers will sell their own sword blanks that have not been ground and quenched at a relatively low price to those who are willing to take a gamble.

After the buyer selects the sword blank, they will grind the sword blank into a sharp edge and quench it.

The properties of mutant metals will be greatly different due to different radiation levels and proportions.

The buyer does not have an advanced ion chromatograph to measure the composition of the steel. He can only rely on experience to make rough estimates and guesses, and the error depends entirely on his face.

The shapers will not have any problems when forging sword blanks. However, when grinding, it is very likely to find inclusions in the sword body, which are particles, usually mutated metal oxides and sulfides caused by improper handling.

They will seriously damage the performance of the sword body and even cause the long sword to break when it collides.

Quenching is a step with a very high elimination rate, because the melting points of various mutated metals are different, and it is very difficult to judge the appropriate temperature.

If the shaping ability is not good enough, the mutated metal in the sword body will also be unevenly distributed. These situations will cause the sword body to twist and crack during quenching.

If the casting fails, the loss of the shaping ability is very large. The number of times the mutated metal can be recast is limited. If it is melted at high temperature too many times, the degradation effect will occur, and it is very easy to lose the mutated properties caused by radiation and degenerate into ordinary metal again.

In order to avoid these risks, they will select some sword embryos that are not sure, mark the name of the shaping ability, and let the buyer choose, so as to share the risk with the buyer.

The loser might get a completely unusable scrap iron, or a sword that can cut through iron like mud.

And the possibility of scrap iron is much higher than that of a sword, but the human nature of loving gambling, especially these predator leaders who make money quickly, have spent a lot of money on gambling swords.

A middle-aged strong man with a gold chain as thick as a finger and gold teeth confidently took out a black sword blank and handed it to the shaper who forged it.

This shaper's surname is Zhou Tian, ​​and he is one of the most outstanding shapers in the entire institute. He took out the sword blanks for gambling swords. Among the twenty sword blanks, there will be three or four usable long swords, and occasionally there will be a sharp sword with excellent performance.

He picked up the grinding wheel and ground out the rough edge of the sword blank. In this step, the sword blank performed very perfectly, the material was very uniform, there were no fatal inclusions, and even beautiful patterns could be seen.

The strong man had a proud smile on his face, which meant that he had won half of it.

Zhou Tian also breathed a sigh of relief. He clamped the sword with pliers and inserted it into the gas furnace. Then he turned the knob of the gas tank next to it to the maximum. The blazing flames produced by the burning propane quickly heated the sword blank and emitted a red-hot light.

The reason why he took out this sword blank for the sword bet was because the raw material of the sword was a section of steel cable sawed off from the ruins of the suspension bridge.

He could not determine the quality of nickel, iron and hard chromium in these steel cables, so he took out this hard-forged sword blank for the sword bet.

After estimating the temperature of the sword body, Zhou Tian clamped the hilt with pliers and directly inserted the whole sword into the quenching oil. This quenching oil was made from the corpse of a corpse ghost, and sodium chloride, barium chloride and other salts were added. It can improve the physical and chemical properties of the weapon during quenching.

Zhou Tian pulled out the sword, and the high temperature of the steel ignited the quenching oil. The blazing flames burned on the sword body. Everyone present focused on the sword body, waiting for the result.

Anything could happen during the quenching process, but at least there was no tragic incident of the sword bending.

"Bang!"

A voice made Zhou Tian's face change. He blew out the flame on the sword and found a long crack on the gray-black sword. The crack almost penetrated the sword, which was quite fatal to a sword.

This sword is useless.

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, but he adjusted himself. A sword only had three high-level crystal cores. He only needed to walk around the wilderness and the money would come back.

Song You looked at the sword embryos with interest. He was also ready to gamble.

Although the crystal cores obtained from Rock and Niu Liu have not been used yet, most of them have to be kept for Shen Bei's high-intensity combat. ,

There is also a part to replenish Shen Bei's special bullets. He does not have much cash flow at his disposal. If he buys a sword directly, I am afraid there will be little left, which exceeds the budget.

Moreover, it is also a very eye-catching thing to take out a large number of crystal cores in such a chaotic and unreliable shelter No. 36. Even just now, someone was tempted by the money and was thrown away by himself.

But Song You was a little reluctant to buy those mediocre swords.

Especially after seeing Shen Bei's "Shining" with a completely different style

Every man wants it.

It's not that the mediocre sword is not worthy of Song You, but Song You feels that as Shen Bei's teammate, his style cannot be too low.

He must get a decent sword.

He can't lose face.

In this case, gambling on the sword is his best choice, and Song You is also very confident in his eyesight.
