A few hours later.
Thousands of meters below the ground in Yuanshan Town's mineral vein.
The man in black robes reported to Qianzu with a look of surprise, "Sir, another elite appeared today, and it broke through on its own without the guidance of divine blood."
Qianzu turned around with interest and said, "Oh? Really? Bring it here and let me see it."
"yes!"
The man in black robe picked up a bone flute made of an unknown insect, put it to his lips and blew hard.
At this moment, a line of prompts appeared in front of Chen Wangping, who was sitting far away in the base:
[Unknown soul force attempts to control your tamed creatures]
[Whether to grant control authority]
"yes."
After returning to the base, Chen Wangping had been waiting for relevant prompts. As soon as he saw one, he immediately agreed.
After all, we can't let the secret show, so we should let others control it for a while.
After granting permission, he could see a connection icon on the icon of the fourth-level giant millipede, and he could feel that as long as he thought about it, he could immediately disconnect this connection icon.
Perfect.
Underground, the black robe was still a little confused when he first started to control it. He muttered to himself, confused, "Strange, why is the bone flute not working properly?"
Qianzu waved his hand and said, "After your strength increases, the bone flute needs to be re-adapted to the frequency. Please play it again."
The man in black robe quickly obeyed the order and blew again. This time, he immediately felt that he could control the fourth-level giant millipede. He smiled apologetically and said, "Your Excellency is still clear. You see, it was only a third-level peak large millipede before, but now it has been promoted. However, it seems to have devoured many soldiers, even eating up the corpses."
Qianzu squatted down and looked at the Level 4 giant millipede, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, I see that its mental fluctuations are very strong. Perhaps it is awakening some special talent. Ordinary soldiers will eat it, but only the elites are the most important. Where is it kept?"
The black robe replied, "The coal mine in Fangshan Town was just sent there last year. Now the squad of soldiers there has been devoured. The mine should be empty at the moment."
Qianzu thought for a moment and said, "Then don't send the rest of the bugs over for now. Let the people from Fangshan Town go in and dig for the coal. There might be some treasures in the coal mine. Just pay attention to the fluctuations of the treasures."
The black robe nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir."
"Well, go ahead."
In the Fangshan Town base.
Chen Wangping calculated that the current output of iron ore and coal mines was barely equal to half of the base's production capacity.
After all, the oil refinery and chemical plant have not been put into operation yet. Once they are opened, the coal output will definitely not be enough.
"There's not much oil left. We have to hurry and find oil reserves. If we can't find any, we can only restart the oil extraction machine in the Black Oil Ruins and have the Golden Eagle go back regularly to fetch it."
As for the mining of uranium and the deployment of uranium enrichment equipment.
He did neither of these things.
Firstly, the uranium ore on hand has not been used up, and mining more will just save it. Secondly, mining uranium also requires sulfuric acid.
We must find oil first. The uranium mine is there and it won’t run away.
After organizing his thoughts, Chen Wangping said to Tang Xihe, "Let's go to Leilong City tomorrow and find out what's going on."
Tang Xihe also had the same idea. "Okay, it's a good opportunity to look for ways to make money. We don't have much gold coins on hand, so we can't just sit back and eat it all."
Chen Wangping nodded. He brought out more than 1,500 gold coins in total. He would know its purchasing power tomorrow.
The night is still spent in cultivation.
The next day.
Chen Wangping walked out of the room and saw snowflakes slowly falling outside with a high density.
According to yesterday's weather forecast, there will be moderate snow today. Fortunately, the wind is not very strong, and the snowflakes are spinning and falling to the ground.
Many children in the town were playing on the snow, very happy.
Tang Xihe came out and said, "Good morning, the temperature has dropped a bit today. It looks like this year might be a cold winter."
Chen Wangping nodded. "Whether it's a cold winter or not depends on whether enough coal has been dug. Let's go, have something to eat, and then we'll set off."
Today's breakfast is beef porridge with egg, which uses two-star yellow eggs, paired with beef tenderloin and black rice. The softness of the egg liquid is matched with the aroma of rice. It is fragrant and tender in one bite, and it warms the body instantly. It is very comfortable.
While drinking his porridge, Chen Wangping turned on the radio and listened:
Weather forecast
The temperature near Fangshan Town will continue to drop tomorrow, with light snow and wind speeds of three to four.
【Wasteland Tips】
Money can solve many problems.
【Unspeakable Tips】
Trade brings vitality.
The sound of the wind
[Dialogue between Black Robe and Qianzu (omitted)]
After listening to the radio, Chen Wangping nodded with satisfaction.
I didn't expect that the casual move I made yesterday would have such a big impact.
Not only did we drive a nail into the enemy's interior, but we also won precious time for the coal mine to fully develop.
You want the treasure, right? Then you can forge one and lure out the so-called Qianzu.
"Thousand-legged? Millipede is also called millipede. Could it be that the thousand-legged is the millipede spirit?"
Chen Wangping shook his head and ignored them for the time being. He asked Tang Xihe to wait at home for a while, and he took the Golden Eagle to the coal mine to add five electric mining machines and twenty batteries.
Looking at the huge battery array, he thought that this was not a solution and he had to provide electricity to the coal mine as well.
Either build a power generation area or use telephone poles to pull electricity over.
Let’s take a look again.
After returning to the base, Chen Wangping picked up Tang Xihe and flew towards Leilong City together.
At the golden eagle's current speed, it will arrive in about an hour.
As he flew over the town, he saw that the effects of the work-for-relief program were already becoming apparent.
The refugees from Yuanshan Town were holding various tools at this time. Some were building walls, some were leveling the ground, and some were smart and ran to help the townspeople repair their houses in exchange for rewards.
As long as there are job opportunities, they don't want to be refugees who rely on others.
Although they have not met the mayor of Fangshan Town yet, they are already full of gratitude to the mayor for giving them a chance.
Especially Mr. Fang, who kept repeating various words, "This is all the measures specially thought up by the mayor because he cares about you. You are one family now. Work hard and everything will be yours."
After leaving the town, we happened to pass through Yuanshan Town.
Chen Wangping specifically called out to the Golden Eagle to slow down. Looking carefully, the town was covered in blood and looked miserable. Buildings had collapsed and all valuables had been looted. The town, which was once bustling with people, was now reduced to ruins.
Tang Xihe couldn't bear to see this and held Chen Wangping's hand tightly. "Brother Ping, our base won't be like this, right?"
Chen Wangping smiled firmly, "Don't worry, our base will definitely become the safest place on this planet."
