Chapter 62: Chain Tasks

Hearing Xu Zhengyang's voice, the one who had called himself, and then glancing at the car he drove...

Kou Dongsheng felt a chill in his heart; he knew he was likely going to make a wasted trip.

Although Kou Dongsheng felt a bit disheartened upon seeing Xu Zhengyang, he forced a smile for the sake of his son, stepped forward to offer Xu Zhengyang a cigarette, and invited him into the factory, saying, "Are you Boss Xu? Come in, it's warmer inside!"

"Okay." Xu Zhengyang readily agreed.

The Dongsheng Rebar Factory was built from the ground up by Kou Dongsheng himself.

Because of this, he was intimately familiar with every detail of the factory!

As he led Xu Zhengyang, he began to introduce, "Let me tell you about my factory, Boss Xu.

Here, I..."

In fact, Xu Zhengyang had already hacked into the Dongsheng Rebar Factory's surveillance through Da Bai and had seen all the equipment inside beforehand.

In a way, Xu Zhengyang understood the factory even better than Kou Dongsheng did.

So, as soon as Kou Dongsheng brought Xu Zhengyang into his office, Xu Zhengyang took out four contracts from his briefcase.

Xu Zhengyang handed the contracts to Kou Dongsheng and said, "Alright, Boss Kou, I already know about your factory.

It's a flat price of one million.

If you agree, we can sign the contract right now, and I'll transfer the money to you immediately!"

Generally speaking, for a small rebar processing factory like Kou Dongsheng's, even building a new one would only cost around a hundred thousand.

Although Kou Dongsheng's lease still had fifteen years left, his equipment was already five years old.

Logically, he would be satisfied with selling it for seventy to eighty thousand, or even...

Fifty to sixty thousand would be acceptable.

But he never expected Xu Zhengyang would offer him one million!

So Kou Dongsheng was momentarily stunned, and after a long pause, he incredulously asked, "What? How much?"

"One million."

Xu Zhengyang spread the contract out and handed it to Kou Dongsheng.

The contract written by Xu Zhengyang was simple and straightforward, with no traps.

After reading it, Kou Dongsheng quickly said, "Boss Xu, you really...

Have helped me a lot!"

By the end, Kou Dongsheng's voice was so excited it was slightly distorted.

He hurried to his desk to grab a pen and seal to sign and stamp the contract.

There were four copies of the contract.

Xu and Kou each kept one, and the transfer and notarization of the factory required one each as well.

Once the transfer contract was signed, Xu Zhengyang did not delay and immediately transferred the money to Kou Dongsheng.

...

Ten minutes later.

Xu Zhengyang saw off the grateful Kou Dongsheng.

Then he promptly called for two semi-trailers and a crane to come over and dismantle all the equipment from the Dongsheng Rebar Factory, transporting it to his shelter.

*The next day.

Once the newly built rebar production workshop at the shelter was completed, Xu Zhengyang moved all the equipment down from the ground and installed it in the workshop.

Immediately after.

A series of system subtitles appeared before Xu Zhengyang, and a fist-sized black and red glass ball appeared in his hand.

[Main Task: Rebar Production Workshop (Completed)]

[Reward: Oddity · Small Ore Vein Seed (Iron)]

...

[Oddity · Small Ore Vein Seed (Iron)]

[Effect: After use, generates an iron ore vein with a total reserve of no less than 32 million tons centered on the usage location]

(Warning: The ore vein seed must be used below 50 meters underground) [Evaluation: A cosmic oddity containing concentrated iron elements!]

Seeing the properties of the glass ball in his hand, Xu Zhengyang's heart raced!

Generally speaking.

One ton of iron ore can yield about 400 to 600 pounds of steel.

This 32 million tons of iron ore vein, even at the lowest iron yield rate, could produce at least over 1,200 tons of steel! If all this steel were made into rebar...

Even if Xu Zhengyang expanded his shelter ten or twenty times, it would be more than enough!

So Xu Zhengyang immediately ordered Da Bai, "Da Bai, dig a 50-meter mine tunnel to the east from the shelter's center.

Then build a transfer station there, and dig a 300-meter tunnel at a 45-degree angle downwards!"

Xu Zhengyang planned to plant this small iron ore vein seed to the east of his shelter! Once Da Bai started working on that.

Xu Zhengyang then stored this oddity in the Dimensional Space Pocket, opened his task list, and checked the latest main task:

[Main Task: Silicate Cement Production Workshop]

[As the area of your shelter expands, your demand for cement grows.

To ensure the speed of your shelter's expansion, please build a silicate cement production workshop within the shelter.]

[Task Objective: Silicate Cement Production Workshop

(The workshop area must be no less than 100 square meters; minimum daily output must be no less than 1,000 tons)]

[Task Reward: Oddity · Small Ore Vein Seed (Limestone)]

After reading the task details, Xu Zhengyang was extremely excited! The main components of cement are limestone, clay, iron ore, and coal.

He already had coal; the iron ore was in his Dimensional Space Pocket, ready to be planted; clay was everywhere;

As for limestone...

As long as Xu Zhengyang built the silicate cement production workshop, he could soon have that small limestone ore vein seed in hand!

"The system's tasks are all interconnected!"

Xu Zhengyang said excitedly, then turned to Da Bai, "First, let the Engineering Robot carve out an 80-square-meter silicate cement production workshop in the shelter, and then go dig the mine tunnel!

Oh, and help me list the machinery needed for cement production!"

"Yes, Master."

Da Bai faithfully executed Xu Zhengyang's orders.

In the next moment.

Xu Zhengyang's phone displayed a series of links, all of which were materials needed for cement production:

The cement production line has no technical complexity; there is even a cement equipment manufacturing factory locally in Baicheng.

So Xu Zhengyang did not hesitate.

He drove directly to that cement equipment manufacturing factory to purchase all the various equipment needed for cement production.

*Cement rotary kiln, cyclone preheater, cooler, crusher, vertical mill, roller press, cement mill, coal mill, dryer, dust collector, packaging machine...

Xu Zhengyang toured the cement equipment manufacturing factory, inspected their production workshop, and confirmed that their equipment was fine.

He then promptly paid a deposit and bought a complete set of their highest quality production equipment! The sales manager, seeing the payment come through, smiled broadly and complimented Xu Zhengyang, "Boss Xu is truly a young achiever!"

"Not at all."

Xu Zhengyang exchanged a few pleasantries, arranged the delivery time and location, and then drove back to the shelter.
