Now that everything that needed to be explained was done, it was time to leave. Suddenly, Dali saw Serio next to him with an expectant expression on his face.
Ouch! Only then did Dali think that he had only been talking to Muradin for a long time, and had left Serio aside for a long time! Isn't this good? Let's compare our feelings. It's him who is the acting lord.
, but the top leader didn’t talk to him for a long time and only talked to others. Isn’t this chilling? If it were my brother, I must be feeling depressed. Well, there were too many times in my previous life that I felt depressed.
.
Dali quickly turned to Serio and said meaningfully: "Lord Serio, do you have anything to add?"
Serio shook his head and coughed dryly and said: "Lord, you are more knowledgeable about engineering than me. I have nothing to add. I just want to tell you that there may be a special resource underground here."
Do you have resources? Dali was refreshed: "What resources?"
Serio said: "It's probably crude oil!"
Crude oil! Boom! There was thunder in the xiong! Oh my god, I always thought that this desert can only be used for tourism, but it turns out that it is actually very rich! It is indeed high risk and high reward!
At such a moment, I was so happy that I almost fainted!
Of course, this game is about gods and demons with a mythical and magical background after all, rather than an interstellar cruise in the United States. The role of crude oil is far from rising to the level of "black gold" and "industrial blood", but as a kind of fuel and a kind of military supplies, the market is still
Some, for example, when defending the city. How did you defend your fifth mining area at that time? You just kept buying it from the underground. When the pirates attacked the town of Nasaiyan, Orles was alive.
The beautiful firewall defense line commanded was all filled with crude oil. And for a territory, having resources and not having resources are completely different concepts. I had no choice but to move vigorously!
When talking about crude oil, we have to mention the Earthlings. The Earthlings are the only force that can refine crude oil. The Earthlings' various unreliable mechanical battleships and mechanical Megatrons are all powered by refined crude oil!
Dali couldn't help but confirm: "Are you sure there is crude oil here?"
Of course, what I said is nonsense. If the NPC says it exists, it must exist. And it’s normal for crude oil to be produced in the desert!
Serio nodded: "Silithus was still a vast forest ten thousand years ago. After that divine war, huge power changed the climate and landform of Silithus. At the same time, huge earthquakes formed
Silithus Mountains, and right here along the Silithus Mountains, the huge geothermal high pressure makes the existence of crude oil possible! After so many days of careful investigation, this possibility is very large!"
Ha! Wow hahahaha! Maybe if you have a big personality, then you have it! No wonder the first NPC the system gave to my territory was a geologist. It really has a profound meaning. Think about it, if it were replaced by another NPC, what would the brother really be like?
I will die of poverty staying in Jinshan!
Serio added: "Preliminary estimates indicate that this crude oil may be nearly a thousand meters below the rock layer, and the difficulty of extraction is quite high."
Dali laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, let's occupy the land first. There will always be a way to mine it later!" The several thousand meters of trench on Liming Island didn't scare me. Let alone the mere thousand meters of land in the desert. However,
Speaking of which, my brother's Dawn Island has not started construction. This problem should be solved properly. Now Ninissa seems to be doing well in Beihai. How about cooperating with her to open a mine? Well, you can consider it, but the prerequisite is to defeat Naga.
.In short, the future is very bright!
By the way, since I have a bright future, I don’t care about adding another crude oil mine. Why do I need to wait until later to exploit this crude oil mine? Why don’t I just open it up now and find cooperation with big forces? Just like how I did with the geological company?
Um, wait a minute! If you are cooperating, please don't rush in advance. I'm really scared! Just one Dawn Island will lead to the disaster of seizing the island. This matter is not over yet, it is still fermenting behind the scenes. I have to be on guard at all times.
What if another crude oil mine pops up? It’s simply unforgivable! God knows what some shady NPCs will do if they take the risk? Especially in this desert border, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they can kill me at any time.
No help can be found.
So, just to be on the safe side, keep the secret of crude oil!
Even if we need to cooperate in the future if we are short of money, we still have to build Brother's Thunder Oasis into a strong and strong city so that no force dares to covet it. When the time comes, we must first strengthen ourselves!
He vigorously said: "Very good, this is really a blessing for our territory, but in order to prevent some enemies from plotting evil, we must first keep the secret of crude oil and seize the time to build the city!"
Everyone said: "Okay!"
This time I have fully explained everything, it’s time to go back to the city to recruit workers and make large purchases!
The city of Silithus.
At this time, the entire city of Silithus was decorated with lights and colorful flags, and loud music was played to celebrate the victory of the just-concluded campaign against the Zerg.
Yes, the battle just ended last night. The Zerg will not be able to recover within a few days. The entire Silithus desert area should be quite safe, just like the refreshing scene that I saw when I took the flying dragon over in the morning. Why don’t I take advantage of this?
Is this a precious opportunity for a large-scale transportation? After all, air transportation like Feilong can only be used in emergencies. The transportation capacity is really insufficient, and it can only be transported three times a day. The real solution to the problem is a large fleet! At the very least, it can
It has to be three times the size of the circus!
Yes, this time, I set up a large fleet to transport food, tools, and workers in one go! I don’t hesitate to spend 10 to 20 million gold coins! I have so much money that I can’t spend it. I am lonely as snow and hungry and thirsty.
It’s so unbearable!
Of course, it is absolutely nonsense to rely on one player to run around as a buyer for such a big deal. The best way is to start from the upper level of NPC and organize it from top to bottom!
He went straight to the military headquarters in the city hall. I must have just won the battle yesterday, and everyone gathered together to drink and celebrate today? Then we would just take this opportunity to catch all the big guys in one go and do something big!
Sure enough, luxury carriages gathered in front of the City Hall Square, recreating the grand occasion of the Nasaiyan Town reception. Of course, the scale was different. After all, it was a city level and a town level. Although Silithus had just taken off the
The title of town-level city has not been around for a long time.
The city hall was decorated as a large cocktail party, and the scene was full of joy. Various civil servants, military officers, men, guests, family members, and female singers were lively and laughing.
Dali's heart skipped a beat, wouldn't he have encountered Ningshuangxue? After doing such a big job, they should be qualified to enter and exit the city hall to attend the reception? Dali hid in the crowd for a long time. It was true that he had not encountered Ningshuangxue. Don't tell me.
Neither she nor any player. Speaking of which, except for players in the quest stream, most players just kill monsters, level up and grind dungeons, and are not too keen on participating in the red tape of NPCs? It would be better if there are no players.
Indeed, Ningshuangxue is very busy right now. She was so busy that she had to leave the battlefield yesterday to go to the Lonely City to do other things. Of course, she has no time to appear here.
Silithus Mayor Tigana and Grand Elder Cablansa attended the speech and delivered a speech: "With the efforts of all officials and all soldiers, we have won a great victory. We have dealt a heavy blow to the Zerg, but we cannot take it lightly. We must always
We are actively preparing for the upcoming Zerg attack. At the same time, our victory has greatly encouraged the kingdom. In future preparations, we will get help from the kingdom and even our allies."
Crackling, thunderous applause erupted in the hall. Yes, yes, the NPCs are also very understanding. From the central yang to the local government, they have already established the later war preparation policy. The big policy is here, and my actions will be more confident.
!
After their speeches, the mayor and elders smiled and toasted and clinked glasses with the attendees. Hahahaha, this is the opportunity I have been waiting for.
Finally, the mayor and elders came to Dali.
Dali took the initiative to greet him: "Long time no see, Mr. Mayor, hello, Great Elder!"
Mayor Tigana said in surprise: "Mr. Dali has come to me many times, why don't you come to see me?"
Dali smiled and said: "I'm afraid of disturbing the mayor's office."
"Mr. Dali is too kind!"
The great elder smiled and said: "Little friend, I heard that the Cabrada students you brought this time are very active, and the Feilong Station has also been built."
Dali said sternly: "Elder, these are all small things. The mayor and the elder are both here today, and I want to do a big thing!"
The mayor and the chief elder were surprised: "What's the big deal?"
Dali said seriously: "Cabrada has installed illusion barrier equipment in my Thunder Oasis. Now my Thunder Oasis is safer than ever. Therefore, I want to organize a large-scale transportation before the war has just ended and the Zerg vitality has not recovered.
, we need to transport workers, food, and tools in one step, and race against time to build with all our strength. This precious opportunity is fleeting, so I can only ask the mayor and elders to shout for me and organize the vehicles and camels. I will pay for it!
As long as the speed is faster, the better! As long as the territory below is built, it can become an outpost on the border, firmly containing the Zerg, and reducing the pressure on Silithus!"
Hum hum, my last sentence is to offer my loyalty and serve as a pawn! Are you still so moved that you are pissed off? Although the original purpose of the kingdom giving the land was indeed to let me serve as a pawn.
The elder was suddenly startled: "What a good time, little friend!"
The mayor clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Take this opportunity to build up Mr. Dali's territory, and we will have a solid station at the border! This will be more conducive to our future battles against the Zerg!"
Dali was overjoyed: "The mayor is wise!"
The great elder smiled and said: "Since Mr. Mayor also agrees, then we will announce this operation in the presence of all the city officials, no, the Kingdom's special commissioner?"
Dali said happily: "There are also Kingdom commissioners? That means I might still be able to get help from the Kingdom!"
The great elder smiled and said: "It's best if you can get it. In fact, our city of Silithus is enough."
Mayor Tigana walked to the podium again: "All officials and colleagues from all walks of life, now I have to issue an important task."
As soon as the mayor finished speaking, the whole audience was shocked!
After the mayor finished speaking, the great elder continued: "All soldiers, this transportation will determine whether we can quickly establish a stable outpost at the border. It will have a profound impact on the entire pattern of Silithus. Therefore, we must attach great importance to it.
The specifications of this escort must be in place, so we have to thank the soldiers again..."
The mayor said: "This matter is running against time and must be carried out vigorously and resolutely. Today's celebration banquet will be suspended here. It won't be too late to celebrate when the transportation is completed - officials from all departments and all walks of life are in their places! The banquet is dismissed!"
The audience burst into applause.
Looking at the flow of people exiting the hall, Dali feels so good! Sure enough, a few words from a high-ranking official are enough to kill me! My upper-level route is indeed on the right track! No, no, no, this is called a drinking bureau! In this world,
Is there anything that the wine bureau can't handle? Ha, ha ha ha ha!
Just then, a familiar voice shouted: "Friend! See you again!"
Dali turned around and saw that it was not Gimli! Yes, there is a dwarf quarry craftsman! There is also wine, I have to ask him for this! What a good time to meet him here!
Dali smiled and said: "General, why are you here!"
Gimli laughed loudly: "Of course I am attending the reception as a representative of the Dwarf Kingdom Allied Forces. Do you need my help?"
Dali was overjoyed; "The general is such a friendly and cheerful person! I just need the general's help for something big."
After hearing Dali's request, Gimli laughed loudly: "It's just recruiting workers and buying wine, it's not a big deal. I will return home immediately and post job advertisements in various cities! It will be done in half a day! As for the wine, I will start loading the truck right away!"
He vigorously said: "Thank you, General! The General said directly that everything is bad except for the salary and remuneration! We will avoid going on strike at some point!"
Gimli laughed loudly: "Don't worry, my friend, I will personally recruit workers for my friends, who dares to go on strike and argue!"
Oh! This guy is getting better and better in China! Good! Friends have face and brother also has face! Sure enough, there are multiple friends and multiple paths!
However, although I said that I would pay for the money, neither the mayor nor the chief elder told me about the money just now? They didn’t even sign the minimum contract! Damn it, it’s not another flying eagle.
Fortress mode, the NPC investor thinks too much...
The entire city of Silithus began to be busy again. The streets of Silithus were busy with traffic. Porters were carrying materials from warehouses and granaries to cars. The teleportation array was flashing with white light, and there were constantly dwarf NPCs carrying backpacks and carrying their own tools.
Teleported to Silithus, they gathered in the square, some spread out mats and fell asleep, some played cards and drank in small groups. Various high and middle-level druid patrols had already flown out of the city and started to set up defenses along the line...
Players' puzzled voices came from the World Channel and Regional Channel: "The war isn't over yet? Did the system declare it over last night?"
"All our vehicles in Shihavana City are heading towards Silithus."
"Has a new battle begun again?"
"It must be done. I heard that NPCs are going to set up stations on the border and attack the Zerg nests!"
Dali was shocked to find that the scale of this transportation operation far exceeded his expectations! Oh my god! This is such a big deal! You can’t get away with it? Ha, hahahahahaha!!.
