Chapter 351 The Americans’ Purpose
I brought the eggs to Chen Peiqiong's house. Chen Peiqiong was already prepared and went out with a sharpened machete.
"Let's go to the edge of the camp! There are more snow vines there, and they are larger. If we can dig up a whole vine, then we can do it. If not, we can collect the cut vines. Whether it's broken vines or whole vines, the purchase price at the trading point is the same."
Xia Xiaoman had no objection, "Okay, let's go to the edge of the garrison!" After that, she asked, "Did you go out and ask around yesterday to find out why the trading point wants to buy these snow vines at such a high price?"
Chen Peiqiong looked around and lowered her voice and said, "I found out. In addition to this, I also found out other news. You may not believe it when I tell you."
Chen Peiqiong put her arm around Xia Xiaoman's shoulders like a thief and whispered, "These snow vines are good stuff from the inside out."
"The outer coat is waterproof and cold-resistant, and has a tough texture. The trading point purchased the snow vine in order to try to make waterproof and cold-resistant clothes with the snow vine coat."
Xia Xiaoman was not surprised by this. In such a cold day, the jelly substance in the core of the snow vine was not frozen into ice, which showed that the outer coat of the snow vine had the function of isolating the cold.
Chen Peiqiong continued: "In addition, the substance in the inner core of the snow vine was tested above, and gasoline-like components can be extracted from those substances, which can be used as a substitute for gasoline."
Xia Xiaoman was stunned. She guessed that snow vine could be used as fuel, but she didn't expect that it could be a substitute for gasoline. "No wonder the trading point would buy snow vine at a high price. It can replace gasoline, so no matter how expensive it is, it's not expensive."
Chen Peiqiong nodded in agreement, "Yes! We have to thank the Americans for this. Without them, we would not have the opportunity to obtain good things like snow vines."
"Americans? What does this have to do with Americans?" Xia Xiaoman looked confused.
"These snow vines were brought here by Americans." Chen Peiqiong said with some gloating, "These snow vines have become rampant in the United States and killed many people. In the eyes of Americans, these vines are demons, so they deliberately brought them to our Xia country, wanting us to have a taste of being strangled by the vines."
Xia Xiaoman asked curiously, "Isn't there anyone in the United States who has studied the effects of these snow vines?"
Chen Peiqiong curled her lips and said, "Even if they knew the function of snow vine, they might not collect it. The US has much more supplies than us."
In some respects, Xia Country had to admit that the United States had certain advantages. For the United States, taking the risk of collecting snow vines for a little gasoline substitute and cold-proof clothing was simply a waste of life.
The United States dealt with the snow vines in a very rough way, burning them directly. However, the snow vines reproduced quickly, and new snow vines grew out within less than a month after they were burned. Therefore, the United States was deeply troubled by the snow vines, believing that the snow vines were the minions of the devil, and deliberately collected snow vine seeds and brought them to Xia.
Xia Xiaoman frowned. "These Americans are more annoying than flies. Why do they keep targeting our Xia country?"
Chen Peiqiong said quietly, "Because they want to find someone with space, and our Xia country is well-known internationally for having a large population, so they went to great lengths to come to Xia country."
Xia Xiaoman was shocked, "Someone who owns space? What does that mean?"
Chen Peiqiong looked at Xia Xiaoman, "Are you shocked? I was also shocked when I heard the news yesterday."
There are also spacers in the United States, but their number is very small. So far, they have only found two spacers.
In order to get more spacers, the United States sent people to several populous countries in an attempt to lure spacers from other countries to their own country. The Americans who appeared in Yunhai City some time ago came to Xia Country specifically to look for spacers.
Their primary mission was to find the spaceman. Their secondary mission was to find out how Xia Country could avoid the asteroid debris that would land in half a year.
"Asteroid fragments landing? What does that mean?" Xia Xiaoman frowned.
Chen Peiqiong explained: "I'm not sure either. I heard that it's because the trajectory of the Blue Planet has shifted. The Blue Planet is currently heading towards the asteroid debris cloud area."
Asteroid fragments, also known as meteorites, are formed when asteroids collide with each other for various reasons, forming planetary fragments of varying sizes.
The planetary fragments float in space and gradually become a debris cloud area. When the blue star passes through the debris cloud area, some planetary fragments may be affected by the blue star's gravity and fall into the blue star.
Some planetary fragments are too small to burn up when they come into contact with the atmosphere of the blue planet, which is what people often call meteors. Some planetary fragments are hard and large, and they pass through the atmosphere and fall to the ground of the blue planet, becoming what people often call meteorites.
"The United States has conducted investigations and estimates that in half a year, the Blue Planet will enter the debris cloud area."
Chen Peiqiong said in a heavy tone: "If it was in the past, it would not be a big deal if Blue Planet entered the debris cloud area. At most, there would be a magnificent meteor shower. But now the geomagnetic field of Blue Planet has changed. The United States speculates that in half a year, a large number of meteorites will fall to the ground."
"If we still haven't entered the underground city by then, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xia Xiaoman's face darkened. "Half a year, that is when the eternal night will be over."
Chen Peiqiong nodded, "Yes. At present, we don't know the progress of the construction of the underground city, nor do we know whether the underground city can be built before the meteorite lands."
Xia Xiaoman was not sure either, but she couldn't get discouraged at this time, so she comforted him dryly: "It should be possible. We must believe in the power of the country."
Chen Peiqiong sighed, "I hope it can be built!"
Xia Xiaoman didn't want to continue this despairing topic, so she asked, "How do you know these secrets? They shouldn't be allowed to be spread out, right?"
"Uncle Fei told me." Chen Peiqiong said, "Uncle Fei knows someone in Yunhai City. This information was obtained from the Americans who were arrested."
"They said that their primary purpose in coming to Xia Country is to capture space users, and their secondary purpose is to find out how Xia Country will deal with the meteor shower in half a year, and it would be best if they could destroy Xia Country's plan. That's why they brought those problematic pills and snow vine seeds here, just to cause trouble."
"By the way, they also brought snow mice, I don't know if they released them."
"Snow mouse? What is that?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Chen Peiqiong with confusion.
