Chapter 110 What is the most important thing in the 21st century?
110.What is most important in the 21st century?
"So, what's going on with the Black Wolf tribe?" Chunyu Yan took a sip of water and asked the old lady who had been talking about blabla for a long time. It could be seen that she was also frustrated when facing Luo Cheng, his unworthy grandson.
"The Black Wolf Tribe was once part of Nod, but it was just a mining force before. During the last war, a GDI force also attacked here. After a fierce battle between the two sides, both sides suffered losses. The surviving Nod commanders surrounded
People from several settlements gathered together and re-formed a motley army, which is the Black Wolf Tribe. After the last war, the Black Wolf Tribe actually cut off its connection with Nod and became a native here.
Overlord."
The old lady also took a sip of water, and then continued: "The current boss of the Black Wolf tribe, Qi Wei, is the son of the Nod commander. He is even more cruel because the mining center was destroyed in the battle and he only has the refinery in his hands, so
He forced us to manually mine Tiberium for him, and also asked us to provide him with food and women."
After saying this, the old lady sighed, "But what can we do? Life still has to go on, right... Young people in several surrounding settlements all dream of joining the Black Wolf tribe and becoming a member of the exploiters.
The same is true for Luo Cheng. It is precisely because of this mentality that the Black Wolf Tribe rules here, and no one can shake it."
…
The ion storm lasted all night, and the thunder outside also rang all night. Chun Yuyan made a rough estimate, and there were probably tens of thousands of lightning strikes that night. This was only the number in this area. It can be imagined that this
This kind of ion storm is so terrifying. Within the coverage of this ion storm, all instruments and equipment malfunctioned, all planes crashed, and communications could not be maintained. It was simply the destroyer of human civilization.
The old lady said that the ion storm caused the separation of the connection between national power and local governments and was one of the main culprits in the disappearance of the country. Chunyu Yan thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but now he completely believes it.
Chun Yuyan woke up from his sleep. He was very alert even in his sleep state, but nothing happened last night. He heard a clanking sound in the kitchen. After a while, the old lady brought out a bowl of porridge for him.
He said, "Let's have a drink and regain some strength."
Chunyu Yan smiled, took the porridge and took a sip. The thick bowl of porridge was very fragrant, which also showed that there was no shortage of food in this settlement. He asked: "You all have the food here."
Planted?”
"Yes. This used to be a residential area, and there was a park next to it. Later, after the disaster, we transformed the park to grow food. We cleared away all the Tiberium mines around it, and then used greenhouses to grow the crops.
Cover it, so that normal food can grow. In addition, there are many ruins of high-rise buildings around us, which also blocked most of the ion storm lightning for us, so our life here was originally good." Old Man
said the wife.
"original?"
"Haha, that was before the Black Wolf tribe took over this place." The old lady smiled bitterly, "Now, most of our food needs to be handed over to them, and the young and middle-aged people are either pulled to be their thugs or to dig.
Mine, now most of these crops are taken care of by us old people. Not to mention that young girls are always called to serve by the people of the Black Wolf tribe. Every time they come back, they are lost and bruised... Oh, what a miserable life.
children……"
Chunyu Yan thought for a while and asked: "The Black Wolf tribe has a refinery?"
The old lady nodded and said: "Yes, special technology must be used to turn Tiberium into liquid before the various elements can be separated from it."
"is it hard?"
"It's difficult. That's why Nod can make unimaginable money through this technology. In fact, before the two parties officially started fighting, GDI's mining and refining technology was also purchased from Nod." The old lady replied,
"That's why the Black Wolf Tribe can gain a foothold here. Because there is a large area around it, and only they control a refining site that can liquefy Tiberium ore."
"Who are those liquefied Tiberium being transported to?" Chunyu Yan asked.
"This thing is very precious. Someone will take it. I don't know who it will be given to. Anyway, most of the weapons and equipment of the Black Wolf tribe are exchanged for liquefied Tiberium ore," the old lady said.
"By the way, the Black Wolf Tribe just took over you? Haven't you thought about resisting?" Chunyu Yan asked.
The old lady shook her head, "There is no way... They came to us first and said they could provide us with electricity in exchange for food. We were also very happy, and finally had electricity! So almost everyone was willing
Support them. But later, they made more and more demands, taking away our young people to serve as soldiers and mine for them, and they came regularly to collect grain, leaving us with only the most basic rations."
"But we can't help it, because some of them have guns, and they are all good guns produced in the factory. After killing a few of the leaders, there will be no more resistance. On the contrary, now our young people here are thinking
He could be attracted by the people of the Black Wolf Tribe and join them!" The old lady sighed again, "That's what Luo Cheng thinks... He is not a bad person in nature, but... the Black Wolf Tribe is too scary...
"
"They use Tiberium to generate electricity, right?" Chun Yuyan suddenly asked a question.
"right."
Chun Yuyan's eyes narrowed. The Black Wolf Tribe has a refinery and a Tiberium power plant! And if they regularly let villagers go there to mine, then they must also control a piece of Tiberium.
A very dense area of sub-crystals! These are the things he is most in need of!
To say that his Infinite Base is lacking everything now. But what is lacking most? Energy! The alien power station now provides 50,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy, and the manufacturing center provides 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. In addition,
He has no other means to increase electrical energy.
Of the 60,000 kilowatt-hours of power generation, 40,000 kilowatt-hours are occupied by the underground base. Now he has not had time to investigate what the energy is used for. The remaining 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity are vacant, of which the worker ant drone factory is occupied.
He spent 1,000, and the three Cerberus production lines occupied 1,800. In other words, there was simply not enough energy space for him to expand the building.
In addition, there are less and less Tiberium crystals around the ruins of the hotel building, and the supply of Tiberium crystals required by the alien power station will become increasingly difficult. And next, he will need at least 10 tons of Tiberium crystals.
Only by developing 4 first-level technologies and building corresponding buildings can we meet the upgrading needs of the manufacturing center.
But the limitations of energy and resources make it impossible for him to meet this requirement now!
It seems that the key to further development lies in this Black Wolf tribe!! A combat force of 200 people, and it is also entrenched in a base that must be heavily guarded... In fact, it is not difficult to kill them,
Just use a little T-virus.
But...people are also a very important resource now!
The door opened and Luo Cheng walked out. He looked at Chun Yuyan with an unkind expression and said, "Why are you still here? It's only for one night as promised! You can leave now!"
But Chunyu Yan stared at Luo Cheng, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes, as if the person standing in front of him was not a foolish young man, but a gem!
