Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 6 Drone Aerial Transactions

"There is a red liquid on these toy airplanes, which should be blood."

"Perhaps these mosquitoes attacked the toy factory, and then the factory used a remote-controlled airplane covered in blood to lure the mosquitoes away!"

Wang Ce's eyes lit up. There really was someone talented who could lure away the giant mosquitoes using this method.

Such a big mosquito, if you get bitten, you'll definitely get anemia.

"Brother Ce, Brother Ce, look! This is amazing! So exciting!"

Huang Feihong pulled Wang Ce aside and pointed to the fifth-floor office of Xinke Plastics Factory across the street.

A still-attractive woman, barely clothed, was pressed against the window, her beautiful face against the glass, revealing an expression of pain.

His hands were raised high, bracing against the glass frame, as if trying to break free from the restraints.

Behind the beautiful woman stood Zhao Erde, the workshop supervisor of Xinke Plastics Factory.

"Isn't that the owner's wife from Xinke Plastics Factory? Where's their boss?"

He didn't even draw the curtains. If this had happened before he time-traveled, he would have taken a picture of it and then used it to blackmail someone.

"Dirty!"

Zhang Luoyan blushed and immediately turned around.

Zhao Erde, sitting opposite them, had clearly noticed the three of them, a sickly grin on his lips.

A minute later, two figures slid down and disappeared by the window.

"You two take these supplies down and give everyone an extra meal in the morning. They'll need to be well-fed to have the energy to work."

She could barely manage a bowl of instant noodles and a ham a day, let alone the virile men downstairs.

Saving food isn't done this way; only by ensuring your own survival can you unlock greater benefits.

The two of them couldn't carry all these things down there, so they had to call a few workers to help them move them.

Wang Ce noticed that before leaving the office, Zhang Luoyan seemed to put some snacks into her pocket and then locked the door.

It's not that they don't mind the trouble; they insist on keeping the supplies upstairs and making a daily round trip.

Since mosquitoes the size of watermelons can appear on lower floors, it's easier for them to attract snakes, rats, insects, and ants. It's definitely safer to keep supplies upstairs.

"Buzz—"

Drones are flying overhead. After yesterday's chaos, many factories have now regained their composure and are beginning to explore their surroundings.

It wasn't that they were brave, but that there was really no food left in the factory. If they didn't go out to find food, everyone in the factory would starve to death, and there was even a possibility that they would have to eat white meat.

Not everyone is as quick-witted as Zhang Luoyan, able to rush to the supermarket and grab food in the first place.

"That's a drone, probably from Big Gun Electronics. What's the meaning of it flying overhead? Is it trying to attract mosquitoes?"

There are only ten people working on the downstairs security, and most of them are involved in installing steel bars on the windows.

After the steel wire was installed, it became very difficult for outsiders to quickly break in.

Therefore, Zhang Luoyan directly arranged for more people to install windows to avoid potential bird or drone attacks.

In addition, Wang Ce had Liu Defei machine-cut aluminum pipes. Steel pipes were too heavy and not very convenient to use as spears, while aluminum pipes were much more handy.

"The drone is flying downwards, everyone be careful! If it dares to fly downwards again, we'll shoot it down!"

The workers downstairs just saw it too: someone was using a remote-controlled airplane to attract giant mosquitoes. So when they see drones with even greater mobility, they are all wary and suspicious.

"Sizzle—"

"Brothers at Shenghong Precision, I heard you guys stole a lot of food from the supermarket last night. Could you share some with us?"

"Don't worry, we won't take it for nothing. We'll trade you drones."

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the drone; judging from his tone, he was probably the boss.

"We only ate one bowl of instant noodles all day yesterday, where would we get any extra for you?"

"Exactly, if we give it to you, what will we eat?"

"Aren't there so many giant wolves outside? If we're really hungry, we can just go out and kill and eat them."

Several workers standing guard downstairs started talking amongst themselves. Although they had eaten one meal in the morning, it was barely enough to stave off hunger. Now that they had experienced hunger, they knew all too well the importance of food.

At times like this, anyone who dares to act like a saint will get their face slapped to pieces by everyone around them.

"We've really been forced into a corner. We're now arming our able-bodied men and preparing to go out and fight them head-on."

"I am the factory manager of Daqiang Electronics Technology. The food I'm asking you for is definitely not for myself, but for those who are preparing to go out to fight."

"Even if they're going out to their deaths, they should be fed before they go out."

Wang Ce, Zhang Luoyan, and the other two were currently directing the production of steel knives and daggers next to the processing center on the first floor.

Long-range weapons could be replaced by sharpened aluminum tubes, but equipment for medium and very close ranges lagged behind. At Wang Ce's suggestion, Tang swords were adopted for medium range and military bayonets for close range.

The machined parts are machined in one piece, so there's no need for grinding.

All three of them heard the conversation from the drone outside perfectly, but both Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan remained expressionless and ignored it.

Huang Feipeng glanced outside every now and then, and seeing that the two didn't react, he didn't say anything.

Drones are indeed a great thing; they can conduct remote reconnaissance, and even the cheapest one costs several thousand yuan before the expedition.

But for now, food is more important.

"I can give you ten drones, and I can also get you ten meters of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene from Jingmao Luggage. You guys do machining, you must need to make bows and arrows, right? This material is excellent for making bowstrings."

"Your food will eventually run out, and you'll have to go out hunting every morning and evening. Having a bow and arrow, a ranged weapon, will greatly increase your chances of survival."

Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan exchanged a glance, then finally got up and walked outside.

"Let's go out and talk to him. First, chew some gum to freshen your breath."

Zhang Luoyan pulled a piece of chewing gum out of her pocket and handed it to Wang Ce. It turned out that she had put chewing gum in her pocket before going downstairs.

Huang Feipeng had to keep an eye on production, so he didn't go out with them.

"Drones still play a significant role; it's just a matter of how they are exchanged. Right now, we have the initiative."

As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher, and the factory manager of Daqiang Technology had a perfect grasp of the negotiation rhythm.

First, they appealed to emotions, playing the sympathy card by using a hunting trip as an excuse to put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture and gain sympathy.

After failing to achieve their goal, they then appealed to the interests of the target by negotiating with increased leverage from the perspective of the target's own interests.

None of the bosses are easy to deal with.

Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan walked out of the factory side by side and came to the open space in front of the retractable roller shutter door. They looked at the drone above their heads and casually prepared to open their chewing gum.

The next second, he felt something was wrong with the feel of the hand, looked down, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

"This isn't chewing gum, it's clearly Durex!"

Zhang Luoyan walked to the open space outside, brushed her hair aside, and casually stuffed the "chewing gum" in her hand into her pocket, saying in an unquestionable manner:

"You two factories, each of you gets six packs of instant noodles, and I need twenty drones and fifty meters of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene."

"Fixed price, delivery upon receipt of goods!"

There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the drone, followed by a brief pause before it spoke again:

"Could we add two more packs?"

Zhang Luoyan walked towards the machine station on the first floor without turning her head. Immediately, an urgent sound came from the other end of the drone:

"I'll arrange it right now and have it shipped over to you immediately!"

Upon entering the workshop, Zhang Luoyan immediately arranged for the production workers to start producing metal arrows. The arrow shafts could only be made of elastic steel, and they would be replaced with suitable wood once they found it in the wild.

Taking that step of exploration is something you have to do; the only difference is when you take that step and whether you are adequately prepared.

"Buzzing—"

Soon, more than a dozen drones flew over, each carrying an unopened drone underneath.

High molecular weight polyethylene was transported by air using six drones.

The group that received the supplies did not immediately send them out as promised, but instead focused on familiarizing themselves with how to operate the drones.

As it was getting dark, Wang Ce and his team took off with the drones and delivered supplies to Daqiang Electronics Technology and Jingmao Luggage respectively.

"Hey!"

With a sharp cry, a huge shadow descended from the sky.

"Damn it, the giant wolves attacked, and now even birds of prey are joining in. Are they treating our industrial park like a buffet? Shoot!"

The six bows and arrows that were just assembled were originally intended to prevent others from using drones to intercept them, but now they are used to deter the giant birds in the sky.

The workers' archery skills were completely inaccurate, but with the giant bird's wingspan of over ten meters, as long as they weren't blind, they could always hit a few arrows.

"Hey!"

Two out of six shots hit the target. The giant bird, in pain, instantly rose higher and disappeared into the vast forest in a few breaths.

Zhang Luoyan reached into her pocket again, where she kept her chewing gum. Wang Ce's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
