Chapter 25 High-end Talents

　　On the 3rd floor of the base, in Lyon's private reception room.

　　Amy specifically asked the chef at the base to cook a special meal and prepare a very sumptuous lunch.

　　Amrin accepted the invitation with his two children.

　　Halfway through the meal, both men were a little tipsy, and Amy sensibly took the children to the activity room next door to play.

　　Leon shook a glass of red wine a few times, took a sip, and said:

　　"Professor Amlin, after spending a day here, what do you think of our base?"

　　Amlin smiled gently. After a day of grooming, he changed into a clean suit, shaved off the messy stubble on his face, and regained the elegance of an intellectual.

　　He coughed lightly, and said in a steady tone, neither fast nor slow, with a bit of flattery to the strong:

　　"It's very safe, and the conditions are excellent. Everyone in the base is very united and hardworking. It is a gift from God to us to find such a safe shelter in the doomsday world."

　　"Of course, I am more grateful for your kindness."

　　"Mr. Custer, as an ordinary technician, I cannot give you advice on base construction or the future of the organization."

　　"However, based on what I have learned during this time, I have found a place where I can contribute to the organization."

　　Lyon immediately became interested. He heard some professional confidence in Amlin's humble tone.

　　"Although, Mr. Amrin, I am a generous boss and will not hesitate to reward any talent who makes contributions."

　　Amlin said with a modest smile on his face:

　　"My research interests are electronic engineering and software design. I have been in this field for more than 20 years and have learned almost everything in this field."

　　"The first thing I can think of is our currency payment system. When I was collecting supplies yesterday, I noticed that the staff of the logistics department were still using manual recording, which was very inefficient and prone to errors."

　　"I think I can design a proprietary currency management system for the company, a magnetic card payment system, similar to a smaller version of modern banks and supermarkets. All data is transmitted to a central smart computer. Only one magnetic card is needed, which is both an identity certificate and everyone's bank card. It will be very convenient to use and manage."

　　Leon's eyes lit up, thinking that this payment method was worthy of an organization as prestigious as the Umbrella Company. He asked with some joy:

　　"What about materials and equipment?"

　　Amlin felt the importance of the organization's leader, and his confidence increased. He replied:

　　"I have already asked Ms. Quinn, who is in charge of the warehouse, and found a lot of blank magnetic cards and corresponding magnetic card recorders and card swipe machines. There are enough for hundreds of people to use. These are very common office supplies. As long as the software is designed and entered into the computer, they can be used normally."

　　Leon was slightly surprised and looked at the university professor in front of him with a meaningful look.

　　It turned out that he had made preparations in advance. It seems that Professor Amlin is really a smart man. He knows how to show his abilities to his superiors and understands that only valuable people can live better in this world.

　　He nodded slightly, smiled and said:

　　"Very good, Professor Amlin. Once this is done, I will give you a credit. Do you have any other suggestions?"

　　Amlin's smile widened. He considered his tone and continued:

　　"You know, Mr. Custer, I used to be the chief engineering consultant for Delta Air Lines. Atlanta is the headquarters of Delta Air Lines. I know a lot of intelligence about Delta Air Lines."

　　"It includes several huge aircraft fuel warehouses, private aircraft warehouses, various advanced equipment of Delta Airlines, and various supplies for a large number of employees."

　　"I estimate that the fuel reserves there are more than 100,000 tons, and there are nearly a hundred brand new small private jets."

　　"100,000 tons of fuel? And a private jet?"

　　Leon's mouth curled up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

　　I feel like my electricity consumption for the next few years is guaranteed.

　　Delta Air Lines is one of the largest airlines in the United States and is known as the busiest airline in the United States. It has more than 4,000 flights a day, 19 airports, hundreds of routes, and provides tens of thousands of jobs in Atlanta.

　　This airline has played an irreplaceable role in making Atlanta a transportation hub in the southern United States.

　　If Amlin's intelligence was true, his estimate of resources must have been a conservative estimate.

　　Leon was delighted in his heart, but a look of regret appeared on his face, and he said:

　　"Very good, your information is very useful, Professor Amlin."

　　"Unfortunately, our current strength is not enough to capture those large bases surrounded by zombies."

　　"However, your intelligence provides a visible path for our future. I will give you a credit for it."

　　"Do you have any other suggestions?"

　　Amlin's smile was still as modest as ever. He coughed lightly and said:

　　"Last year, I worked as a programmer at a UAV production base of the military, designing operating programs for the reconnaissance UAVs there."

　　"It's about a hundred kilometers away from here. I still remember the location. I guess there should be a large number of reconnaissance drones stored there, a small number of soldiers, and a small amount of military equipment."

　　"Now it has probably fallen."

　　"If we can get them, our detection capabilities will be significantly improved."

　　After receiving another piece of amazing good news, Leon was already a little numb. He maintained a smile on his face and asked again:

　　"Any other suggestions, Professor Amlin?"

　　"The current satellite communication system has been paralyzed. If Mr. Custer can find a high-power radio station or similar radio transmission equipment, I am confident that we can build a communication system with a wide coverage for the base."

　　The corners of Leon's mouth twitched, but he still asked:

　　"Anything else?"

　　Amlin thought for a few seconds and said:

　　"I remember that Georgia Tech had a complete disaster emergency response system. If the survivors at the time had handled it properly, we should still be able to find many survivors after only a month."

　　"By the way, if Mr. Custer is interested in visiting the Polytechnic Institute, I hope you can bring back as many books as possible from the library. It is the crystallization of human wisdom and the spark of human revival. We can learn a lot of knowledge and rebuild human civilization."

　　"Do you have anything else to say, Professor?"

　　"Not yet. The time is too short. These are all I can think of. If I think of anything else later, I will tell you as soon as possible."

　　Leon took a deep breath, looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him with a slightly admiring look, and said:

　　"Professor Amlin, your advice is very, very valuable and exactly what we need right now."

　　"However, we are currently limited in our power and cannot accomplish everything in one go. We can only do it step by step."

　　"You can go back and have a good rest for a few days, then join the work."

　　Amlin shook his head in silence and said:

　　"No need to rest, Mr. Custer, I want to work immediately."

　　"While I was waiting to die in the basement, I thought a lot. I had rested for too long. Now is an extraordinary period. I need to work harder to contribute to mankind."

　　Leon looked at the university professor in silence for a few seconds and said:

　　"Okay, Professor Amlin, I'll let Amy arrange your work location this afternoon. You can ask her for anything you need. You need to take care of your body. You are a good and valuable person who deserves a better life."
