He silently complained about the psychopath Xiao Huang in his heart, and Xingci continued to talk about the topic just now and said: "Compared with other more substantive jobs, in fact, guarding the garment machine is a very pragmatic job in the Holy Sword District. What if someone really destroys the garment machine? This is not completely impossible..."

Lu Yang quickly interrupted, "Wait, if you don't have a machine, can't you make clothes? Taking a few strips of cloth and doing some art by hand is better than this same-sized look!"

Xingci glanced at Lu Yang and confirmed that he was not joking. Then he popularized the science for these guys who had no common sense in life: "Do you think this is a pre-war period with great material richness? After the end of the World War, the material resources in the entire Holy Sword Area became increasingly scarce, and even waste fabrics were precious non-renewable resources. Our daily clothes, even if a thread was scraped off, must be carefully put away and wait for recycled in the future. I have never seen such a luxury as cutting clothes by myself since I was a child!"

Xue Feng lifted the big package behind him with one hand, then pointed the tights Xingci had just changed with the other hand and asked, "What about this dress? It looks different from other ordinary clothes. Could it be that this dress was also produced by your garment machine?"

Xue Feng's reckless behavior was so scared that Xingci was shocked.

She rushed forward with a quick step, closed the large package in Xuefeng's hand again, and carefully put it back into the distance.

After doing all this quickly, Xingci quietly looked around and confirmed that no one noticed the abnormality on his side, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

She whispered to Lu Yang: "You are really scaring me to death! The parts in this big pocket must not be seen by outsiders. Although most residents of the Holy Sword District do not meddle in other people's business, if you really show these things in public, the consequences will be unimaginable. According to the armistice agreement signed by the Kingdom of God and the Holy Sword District, these parts in the non-armed neutral zone are all the highest-level contraband items. Even if the residents of the Holy Sword District are numb, they will never turn a blind eye to such things!"

After giving these instructions, she pointed to the big package and said, "The clothes I wore before were exactly the clothing produced by the Kingdom of God. Don't look at it as thin as a layer, but it can keep warm and cold and be extremely tough. Even the high elves of the Kingdom of God are not qualified to wear them! I also spent a lot of money to exchange this tights from others from the black market!"

As a scavenger who illegally smuggled into the Neutral District to pick up garbage, Xingci must have his own channel for selling stolen goods in the Holy Sword District. Now it seems that this channel for selling stolen goods should be the black market she mentioned.

There seem to be many treasures in this black market, and even this Galaxy Federation-style clothing can be found!

So Lu Yang secretly asked, "Chenxi, is that tight suit really the creation of the Galaxy Federation?"

Hearing Lu Yang's inquiry, Chenxi hesitated for a moment before giving the final conclusion: "The clothing has some characteristics of the Galaxy Federation clothing, but it should not be a standard Galaxy Federation creation!"

This conclusion made Lu Yang interested: "How do you say this?"

"The material of this clothing is indeed a kind of common fabric for Galaxy Federation clothing. This fabric not only combines comfort, aesthetics and high protection, but it is even a smart material that can be equipped with various functional modules. However, according to the information observed by this machine, the fabric of the clothing is not equipped with any smart modules, but is just a product made of purely high-performance fabrics. Even the lowest-end clothing of Galaxy Federation will not happen."

The Galactic Federation materials were used, but the craftsmanship of the Galaxy Federation was not used. The relationship between the Kingdom of God and the Galaxy Federation can be said to be quite suspicious!

It seems that no more information can be collected from the clothing aspect, so Lu Yang asked Xingci another thing: "What are standard parts? I think the goods sold here seem to be priced with standard parts!"

Xingci did not answer this question directly, but instead fumbled in the big package behind Xuefeng for a while, and then took out an ordinary screw.

She held the screw and explained to Lu Yang: "This is the standard parts made by the Kingdom of God, which can be used to assemble or repair various more complex mechanical equipment. They are also the most solid hard currency in our Holy Sword Zone. The standard parts in the mouths of these vendors generally refer to this type of D-level standard parts."

"Class D standard parts?"

Xingci nodded and said, "This is the official classification standard formulated by the Kingdom of God. There are 1215,571 standard parts in total, divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to their value, and are reduced in sequence according to their structural complexity."

Lu Yang couldn't help but wonder: "How is the Kingdom of God defined this structure complexity?"

Xingci patiently explained: "Class D parts are the simplest structural parts. The thing in my hand is a D-class screw, worth half a standard part. The reason why it is not a complete standard part is mainly because the nuts that match it cannot be found. C-class parts are special modules that can realize certain basic functions, such as heating function modules, discharge function modules, magnetic field generation modules, etc.; B-class parts are modules that can realize certain advanced functions, such as the garment machine just mentioned; A-class parts refer to special functional modules that can directly utilize the energy of the Galaxy standard. Generally speaking, the value of A-class parts is 10 times that of B-class parts, the value of B-class parts is 10 times that of C-class parts, and C-class parts is 10 times that of D-class parts."

After introducing the parts classification, Xingci pointed to his own large package and said: "The standardization level of Shenguo technology products is extremely high. The higher the components, the more complex the functions it implements. For our native elves, even the D-level parts are equivalent to technical black boxes. All the Holy Sword Zone mechanical equipment we rely on for survival are larger technical black boxes composed of these small technical black boxes. For example, the electromagnetic propulsion device I used when maneuvering in the neutral zone. Each small electromagnetic propulsion unit and small power control unit inside are a separate B-level or C-level parts. I have no idea about their principles at all, but it can piece together mechanical equipment with more complex functions based on their actual functions."

This is modular and standardized assembly!

No wonder this elf girl has such a cyberpunk style.

To put it bluntly, these native elves technicians are a group of Lego players who only know how to assemble parts. They must have ready-made parts on hand to do things, and if they don’t have parts, they can only catch things blindly.

It’s no wonder that the high elves can hang up and beat native elves!

After all, the technology of assembling Lego toys can be learned in a few days of class, and the factory that produces Lego toys is the real high technology!

Lu Yang pointed to the screw in Xingci's hand and asked, "So, if there is no technical assistance from the Kingdom of God, will the parts in your Holy Sword Area be broken and one less?"

Xingci said helplessly: "That's true. This is why I say that the situation in the Holy Sword Zone is getting worse day by day. Even if the parts made by pre-war technology are quite durable, as time goes by, various parts are still inevitably damaged. Many years ago, scavengers like me were able to bring back many available parts from the unarmed neutral zone to make up for this part of the loss. But as there are fewer equipment left in the neutral zone for disassembly, and the frequency of parts in the Holy Sword Zone is getting higher and higher, this fragile balance has gradually been broken..."

To be fair, although mechanical parts that can be used for more than 6,000 years of damage are not as good as the immortal black technology products of the ancient Galaxy Federation, they are enough to crush the most durable mechanical equipment that Earth civilization can produce.

In Lu Yang's view, it is an absolute engineering miracle that the native elves, the "Lego civilization", can last for more than 6,000 years without destruction.

Xingci touched his cheek and couldn't help but sigh: "At present, even the survival system on which the native elves relies on is inevitably aging. Not only is the frequency of shutdown and maintenance getting higher and higher, even if the original parts are barely replaced with parts that do not meet the standards and restarted, some functional modules are still permanently damaged."

Xingci explained while opening his mouth and blew out a cold mist: "For example, the temperature maintenance module in the Holy Sword Zone has now been unable to start. Even under the normal operation of the life-saving system, the temperature in the Holy Sword Zone is close to the freezing point, much colder than when I was a child. Once a major maintenance system is undergoing maintenance, I am afraid that many people will be frozen to death!"

Looking at the ice fog that Xingci Had, Lu Yang comforted: "You have done well enough. Few people can smuggle so many parts from the non-armed neutral zone like you! Then again, how much is the approximate value of your big bag of parts to standard parts?"

"Priceless treasure!"

Xingci directly gave the conclusion of four words.

Seeing that Lu Yang seemed to be asking, Xingci introduced in detail, "Most of these parts were removed from the core life-saving system of the Neutral Zone, and each one is extremely precious special parts. Even if you search through the entire Holy Sword Zone, you may not find the same thing. They can even be used to repair the life-saving system of the Holy Sword Zone. In the Holy Sword Zone where all supplies are extremely lacking, these things are simply priceless and normal people do not even have the qualification to quote."

"Normal person?" Lu Yang noticed very keenly that the elf girl seemed to have something in her words.

"That's right, so this time we made a special trip to find some abnormal people to ship, which is the black market merchant I mentioned before!"

While the two were talking, Xingci had already led everyone through the bustling square and into an alley next to the square.

Similar to the Neutral Zone, the architectural structure of the Holy Sword Zone is also complex, comparable to a super-large maze. Following Xingci, Lu Yang and others finally came to a secluded steel corridor.

The location of this corridor is very hidden. Lu Yang hardly saw a native elf throughout the whole process, as if he had returned to the previous non-armed neutral area.

Looking at the large iron doors that were completely closed on both sides of the corridor, Xingci walked directly to one of the fans, and knocked them rhythmically three times as if he was typing a secret code.

"Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-Dong-

Three knocks on the door seemed unusually abrupt in the quiet alley.

After completing all this, Xingci did not move any other things and stood quietly at the door, as if waiting for something.

Just as Lu Yang and others were a little impatient to wait, the large iron door like an anti-theft door in front of them slowly opened.

A male native elf wearing a gray-white cloak poked out his head and asked, "Xingci, why have you brought so many strangers? If you weren't our old customer, I wouldn't have dared to open the door for you!"

"These are all my friends!" Seeing that the person in front of me seemed a little hesitant, Xingci added with a expressionless expression: "They are other scavengers I accidentally encountered during the process of picking up the scavengers. If it weren't for their help, I would almost never come back this time!"

Hearing Xingci's introduction, Lu Yang and others nodded politely, saying hello.

The male native elves' eyes suddenly softened: "You guys are actually scavengers who are active in the non-armed neutral zone. This is the first time I have seen so many newcomers joining in so many years!"

"Where is there any fake?" Xingci is not good at lying, and his tone is obviously filled with an impatient tone. "Qingguang, if you hesitate so much, I will turn around and leave! The black market businessman who wants to do business with me Xingci is not inferior to you."

The male native elf named Chongguang quickly stopped him and said, "If you have something to say, I don't mean that! There are not many scavengers in the Holy Sword District now. This time, four new faces suddenly appeared. I always have to ask a little. Forget it, since you have made a guarantee for them, then come in and speak first!"

As he said that, he quickly welcomed Lu Yang and his group of five into the door.

Behind the iron gate is a room similar to an entrance. After passing by the entrance, Lu Yang's vision suddenly became clear.

Behind this inconspicuous alley, there is a spacious hall with a total area of ​​hundreds of square meters hidden!

Although the hall in front of Lu Yang is spacious, it is as messy as the automobile repair shop on the earth. The large number of metal parts placed densely are almost piled up into hills. Among the parts, there seem to be some processing equipment such as simple machine tools.

Noting Lu Yang's surprised eyes, Chongguang proudly introduced: "It's your first time to come to me! This is one of the largest equipment manufacturing centers in the entire Holy Sword Area. This room is stuck in the dead corner between several core pipelines. Even if you look up any map of the Holy Sword Area, you can't find it here. And because of the protection of the core pipeline system manufactured by pre-war technology, even if the people in the embassy of the Kingdom of Gods hold radar, they would never have found it. If Xingci had not worked with us for decades, we would never have let you in so easily."

However, Xingci said unhappily: "To put it bluntly, you are just a black market businessman! Since we have been working together for decades, why do you still have to push back and forth like this?"

Chongguang quickly explained: "You may not know yet. Just two days ago, the embassy of the Kingdom of God and the Holy Sword District Government conducted a formal negotiation. These damn high elves not only asked the Holy Sword District Government to severely investigate the entire waste picking industry chain, but even proposed that if they find evidence of the waste picking industry chain, the Kingdom of God will form a special anti-smuggling armed dispatch team to replace the Holy Sword District Government and enter the internal law enforcement of the Holy Sword District Government to crack down on the waste picking industry chain of our native elves..."

"It's so damning!" Xingci couldn't help but slap the table and said, "If the Kingdom of God sends a team to enter the Holy Sword area openly, it would be like slashing the high elves! If they really destroy the Frozen Sword Sword, everything will be over! How could the Holy Sword District Government compromise on such a critical issue?"

Chongguang curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Haha, is our Holy Sword District Government still less compromise? Now there are dozens of fully armed high elves soldiers in the embassy of the Kingdom of God. This armed force is almost equivalent to half a God's dispatch team! Xingci, you are one of the top scavengers in our Holy Sword District. I suggest you join us! The Holy Sword District Government is not reliable at all, and only we are the only hope for native elves!"

"impossible!"

Without thinking, Xingci flatly rejected Chongguang's invitation.
Chapter completed!
