My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1478
[1469. Chapter 1446: First meeting, desperate Salvador!]
If everything in front of him was what he saw yesterday, he would have to spend the entire night reviewing all the information about the Giant Stone Territory.
“I don’t know. I didn’t come here yesterday. I was just outside the dock communicating with them.”
Guo Buluo lowered his voice and shook his head secretly.
The neat stone masonry technique is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the huge amount of work involved.
A rough calculation shows that the road to the mountain village is at least two kilometers long, which is not something that a territory of a few thousand people can build.
What’s more, according to the original version of the information, there were only a few hundred people in the Stone Territory, so it was a fantasy to want to build these stone walls.
“Find an excuse to stay for a while so I can take a closer look at these stone structures.” After Musk gave his instructions, he coughed to himself, paused, and retreated to the back of the team.
This is his personality. He always follows his heart and does whatever he thinks of immediately.
This also gives him strong execution ability, enabling him to accomplish things that ordinary people cannot accomplish.
“Mr. Luo, it must have taken you a lot of effort to build this place, right?” Guo Buluo bent down and touched the corners of the steps.
It is hard to imagine that the edges and corners of the steps have been processed by someone, and they feel extremely smooth and not cutting at all.
“It took some thought. The road up the mountain is very narrow at the beginning. In some places, only three or five people can pass through.”
“Then how did you accomplish all this?” Guo Buluo asked in surprise.
However, Luo You did not answer his question. He just smiled and said nothing, looking mysterious.
“Okay, let me ask you another question. You have such great infrastructure capabilities, why don’t you build your territory in a better place?”
“A better place?” Luo You still had a smile on his face. “Mr. Guobuluo, why don’t you speak frankly? The quality of a territory can be measured by whether it has expanded a lot of farmland.”
“Um, Mr. Luo, that’s not what I meant.”
Guo Buluo was a little embarrassed and shook his head quickly.
Some things are unspoken rules, and it would be impolite to bring them up openly.
The reason why the Golden Giant Eagle supports these territories of all sizes is to exploit the labor force in the future and exchange cheap small industrial products for food of several times the value in order to achieve the purpose of exploitation.
Apart from this, can we expect these small territories to make any technological breakthroughs?
The only value is farming. If you can’t farm, it’s no different from seeking death.
This is also understood by the survivors and lords who joined in helping the territory.
However, the survivors originally wanted to accumulate enough points to enter the Golden Giant Eagle territory, so they naturally didn’t care about the future development of the territory they were in.
The lords basically just gave up and didn’t care how much benefit the development of their territories could bring to them.
They are just pawns supported by the federal territory for use in the struggle. If they dare to have their own ideas, it will not be surprising to change their lord the next day.
The sun rises as usual, and the territory continues to function healthily.
But this megalithic territory is completely different. Guobuluo saw signs of “self-development” here.
It sounds a bit strange, but being able to stay sober in an environment where everyone is like this is definitely not as easy as you imagine.
“What I mean is that if you move to a better place, your income will be more diversified, and then it won’t be as easy for them to sanction you in foreign trade as it is now.”
“It seems that Mr. Guobuluo has a deep understanding of our Giant Stone Territory?”
Luo You sighed, “But have you ever thought about one thing, why are there foreign trade sanctions?”
Most of the guards who came with Tesla Territory were Westerners and could not understand Chinese.
Of course, even if they understand Chinese, they cannot understand the implicit meaning of Chinese words.
The fundamental reason why the Stone Territory was subject to foreign trade sanctions is that the pharmaceutical business is too profitable.
They are jealous and envious, which is why they organize themselves together to launch sanctions.
Even if the Stone Territory has arable land at this time, they can still find excuses to sanction it.
He even moved out of the federal territory behind him, using his power to pressure the stone to hand over its production method.
“Forehead”
Guo Buluo was speechless again, and he looked at the man in front of him.
Although he had a limp, he spoke very sharply, totally unlike those idiots in Tyrael’s territory.
Fortunately, Musk finally got the result he wanted and rushed over from behind.
Guo Buluo raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly found a topic to change the subject. The group continued to walk along the stairs towards the mountain village.
“Something is wrong. The raw materials of these stones are different from those of the stone mountains. The hardness is much higher than that of ordinary stones. Moreover,” Musk’s eyes were full of doubts, “it doesn’t feel like it was built by humans, but formed naturally.”
“Naturally formed? How is that possible?”
“Of course I know it’s impossible, so I’m curious, did you ask how they built these stone walls?” Musk looked at him as if he was an idiot.
Artificial construction always leaves traces, even if there are only a few traces, there are still traces to follow.
But at this moment, he could not find any traces of human excavation on the stone steps under his feet.
This does not conform to the principles of stone construction, unless the material of the steps under your feet is not stone.
“They didn’t ask, so they still remain wary of us.”
Guo Buluo hinted, “Perhaps they think we are bandits hired by Tyrael Territory, who want to steal the technology that reduces the cost of drug manufacturing.”
“Oh, hell.”
The haunting Tyrael Territory made Musk look up and cover his forehead.
Luo You noticed these actions out of the corner of his eye, his face remained calm, but he was laughing secretly in his heart.
All the way to the village, Guobuluo and Musk didn’t say anything and seemed quite silent.
Only when they saw the ordinary wooden gate and defensive facilities did they regain some spirits.
It finally looks a little normal here. I’ve seen a lot of this in other territories.
The most important thing is that the workload of building the village gate and defense facilities is not large and is completely understandable.
“We have built three villages, namely: Tianzhai, Dizhai, and Renzhai. However, due to population constraints, the two rear villages have not yet been opened. Only Tianzhai is in operation.”
“Everyone, please come in!”
Having said that, Luo You still ordered someone to bring out the official meeting document.
There are two copies, and the visiting procedures are completed only when the two copies are combined with the one in Guobuluo’s hand.
“The air here is very comfortable.”
The ventilation conditions on the mountain are much better than those on the plains at the foot of the mountain, and the perceived temperature is also slightly lower.
When we entered the village gate, it was breakfast time and a strong smell of fireworks wafted over with the wind.
He raised his head and looked at the entire village built on the mountain together with Guo Buluo, facing the unusually soft light of the rising sun.
It is truly a paradise on earth!
The village is cleverly built on this rocky mountain, almost blending in with the surrounding environment.
The sunlight shines through the gauze-like mist and onto the staggered stone houses. Every brick and tile seems to be coated with a thin layer of golden light, shining with a quiet and peaceful glow.
There are many residents coming and going in the village, most of them with warm smiles, greetings between each other one after another, filled with a simple and sincere atmosphere of life.
Guobuluo subconsciously thought that this was a deliberate gesture by the Giant Stone Territory to welcome them.
But he soon realized his own prejudice and realized that it would be impossible to fake such harmony.
This is a kind of harmony that makes people feel calm and at peace.
“I think we can change the target of our support. This place is obviously much better than Tyrael’s territory!”
Musk muttered, raising his hand to touch his nose.
He had clearly just finished his meal, but when he smelled the scent floating in the air, he actually felt a little greedy again.
This alone is enough to prove that the living standards of the villagers in this Big Stone Territory should be quite good. They are far from being on the verge of running out of food as speculated by those territories outside.
A stone house near the village gate.
Seeing people coming, Lao Zhang gave a questioning look, and when Su Mo nodded, the group walked out.
Although the current game has released many version functions, the translation function has not been restored online because there will be a war between humans and aliens.
Not understanding English, Lao Zhang could only say a few polite words, then laughed and made an excuse to leave.
Su Mo stayed aside, looking at this legendary gentleman who was very famous both in modern times and in the wasteland.
If you simply judge a person by his appearance, there isn’t much to praise about this legendary man.
A slightly bloated figure, an oily face and a somewhat bald forehead.
Even his eyes looked hazy, like an internet cafe expert who had been working all night for several days without a good night’s sleep.
But when their eyes met inexplicably, Su Mo felt a strong sense of being spied on.
His eyes were very aggressive. When he looked at people, it was as if he was sizing up goods, repeatedly weighing their value.
In just three seconds, Su Mo could clearly feel that Musk was looking at him from head to toe seven or eight times.
“Who is this gentleman?” Musk turned his head and looked at Luo You.
“He is the technical consultant of our Giant Stone Territory, Mr. Ji.” Luo You said so, but he couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
Old ginger is still spicy.
When he first met Su Mo, he didn’t find anything different about Su Mo.
But Musk’s eyes were sharp and he immediately spotted the completely different temperament in Su Mo among the crowd.
Of course, it may also be related to the different environments that everyone is in at the moment.
Su Mo’s temperament is too outstanding compared to ordinary people, and that sense of indifference cannot be faked.
“Technical consultant?” Musk showed interest. “I like to communicate with people who work in technology!”
After he finished speaking, he simply walked over, following his heart as always.
“Hello, Mr. Ji, um. You can speak English, right?”
“Of course.” Su Mo nodded slightly.
Musk smiled a little more, and after organizing his words, he quickly said, “On the way up the mountain, I found that your stonework is very good and very natural. Is there any unique technology in it?”
“Yes, Mr. Ma, you guessed it right.”
More than 20 kilometers away from the Boulder Territory.
Tyrell Territory.
Two figures hurried through the narrow path, their steps quick and flustered, running towards the center of the territory in panic.
Compared to the clean and tidy Stone Territory, Tyrael is like a corner forgotten in the end of the world, with an atmosphere of depression and desolation everywhere.
Before its construction, this place was a material transfer station set up by the Golden Eagle.
Therefore, the streets between the buildings are narrow and winding, and the buildings on both sides appear somewhat dilapidated. Some walls have collapsed due to the rush to complete the project, and some roofs have also collapsed, revealing black gaps.
The roads, walls, and even the air are filled with dirt and garbage left behind by humans.
Walking into the territory, food scraps can be seen everywhere, some of which have already rotted and become smelly, while others have been blown away by the wind.
It is worth mentioning that the toilet conditions here are quite good, with a public toilet every 500 meters.
But unfortunately, the people living in Tyrell’s territory obviously have their own ideas.
They do not like to crowd into narrow public toilets to relieve themselves, but are accustomed to using small basins at home and then dumping their excrement into a simple drainage ditch no deeper than 50 centimeters.
This results in a foul smell floating in the air at all times, and most people who come in probably can’t even open their eyes.
However, the residents inside seemed to have gotten used to this dirty and messy environment. They walked among the garbage and dirt with expressionless faces, as if all this was so natural and normal.
Even two figures passing by did not attract any attention.
“Mr. Salvador, something bad has happened.” Two figures passed through many buildings and finally came to a courtyard that was obviously cleaner. They pushed open the door and rushed in.
“People from Tesla’s territory are already contacting the Monolith’s territory, and the spies we sent out discovered that Mr. Musk is also there!”
“What!?” Salvador stood up and paced back and forth in the hall anxiously.
The worst happened.
“Where are the people from the Giant Wave Territory? Didn’t they promise us that Musk would never find out about this? Even if they did, they would be able to handle it. Where are they now?”
“We couldn’t get in touch with him.” Another figure looked up and spoke, with hot sweat pouring down his forehead.
Salvador is very bold in reselling materials provided by the federal territory.
And the reason why he dared to make this decision.
One reason is that the assistance provided by Tesla Territory is all work that will not earn you any material money in the short term, may generate profits in the medium to long term, but may also result in huge losses.
Second, the aiding territory behind the Giant Wave Territory is the Golden Eagle Territory, the largest federal territory of the Golden Giant Eagle.
The combination of the two gave Salvador the courage to say one thing in public and another in private.
“What should we do now? We can’t just sit and watch them cooperate, right?”
“Without the aid from Tesla Territory, no, if they kick our Tyrell Territory off the aid list, then everything will be over.”
