Chapter 1101 (1/2)

”The east coast of North America has formed a loose separatist force, mainly concentrated in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The beluga fleet anchored off the coast of Los Angeles and sent out boats to take our men to the North American continent

”After landing on the North American continent, our men set up outposts on the west coast and sent soldiers to explore the direction of Los Angeles. In the suburbs of Los Angeles, we encountered a mutant lizard. They move in groups and are very aggressive, but fortunately our people have discovered them first. After we got rid of them, our men made it to Los Angeles. ”

”The whole of Los Angeles is ruins, similar to Wanghai, but with a much smaller population. According to the local people, there are large and small settlements of survivors along the west coast, including the National Guard, the militia ”one minute man”, the cannibal tribe ”blood clan” and the mutant tribe ”destruction.”

”The local animal husbandry is very developed, and our people have found large-scale double headed cattle herds in the desert fringe of California. Their two headed cattle are one circle larger than us because they eat a fern that can reduce the radiation value. The radiation level of these two headed cattle is not high, and the meat quality is relatively delicious. In addition to the fact that the survivors mainly trade in sub crystalline and xeno skins, there is another interesting thing... ”

With that, Chu Nan took out a thing from his pocket and threw it on the table gently.

“…… We found this locally, brought back from the returning beluga station

”This is Bottle cap? ” Looking at the bottle cap on the table, Jiang Chen is stunned.

”To be precise, it's the limited edition bottle cap that Coca Cola released after 2168. It has a nickel plated anti-counterfeiting logo from Coca Cola company. Each bottle of coke has a specific number, which is stored in the database of coke factory in California At this point, Chunan grinned. ”At present, this coke factory is controlled by the California National Guard as their money printing machine.”

”Use bottle caps as money?” Jiang Chen asked curiously.

”Yes, it's hard to fake. Every bottle cap that comes out of the factory is automatically entered into the database. It is said that the currency is used all over the west coast and even some inland states. However, it seems that the inflation of this kind of bottle cap is very serious. It is said that a slightly better rifle needs a 10000 bottle cap, an adult double headed cow is worth 100000, and a national guard power armor needs to wait for the bottle cap is an astronomical number, which is said to be 10 million? I'm not sure

”Where do they get so much nickel?” Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.

Although nickel is not rare earth, it is more scarce than rare earth in waste soil, let alone North America, which is poor in nickel. There is no other reason, because the demand is too large, from power armor to tanks, there is nothing less than it. The amount of waste recycling is not enough, that is, NAC can be free from nickel shortage.

In order to smuggle some nickel back from NAC, the northern United States has racked its brains. However, survivors on the west coast of North America actually cast nickel into bottle caps?

”Of course they don't have that much nickel.” Chunan shrugged and said with a smile, ”so when our people offered trade to the California National Guard, the first thing they asked for was,” do you have nickel? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen already understood. For the survivors on the west coast of North America, nickel is the equivalent of gold. But what is the standard currency? Nickel standard? Or ”security code” standard?

In addition, from what he said in chunankou, Jiang Chen also heard some other information. For example, since the survivors have used nickel for coinage, they must not have a high level of industry. At most, as on sixth block four years ago, everything from rifles to powered armor was hand-made.

Chu Nan looked at Jiang Chen. He had already guessed what his boss was thinking, so he asked tentatively, ”what is your plan?”

His biggest worry now is that his boss patted his head and decided to send thousands of soldiers to California to liberate America. This is not a question of whether we can do it or not. He believes that with NAC's strength, at least there is no problem in crushing the west coast.

However, there is no point in doing so.

Now NAC's strength ranges from Wanghai to Wushi. There are too many places that can be expanded to the south. Several survivors in Fuzhou are so rich that they can colonize on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

However, he thought too much about it. Jiang Chen didn't understand this truth.
