Far in the air, Chen Wangping observed the geographical conditions of Firebird City.
The core areas of the Land of Fire are all located on volcanoes, and the most central volcanic city is built directly on an active volcano. In addition, the quality of cities, large and small, is judged according to their distance from the volcano.
The Firebird City is about 500 miles away from the Volcano City. There is no active volcano nearby, and the only cultivated land is saline-alkali land. Next to it is a saltwater river with sparse vegetation. The only thing worth mentioning is the large number of mines.
From the situation in Fire Bird City, it can be seen that Tang Xi and the others’ situation in the Fire Source Land is not very good, and can only be considered safe enough.
Before landing, Chen Wangping glanced at the radar and observed the situation nearby.
Looking at the radar, he suddenly found a large red dot composed of many small red dots, whose strength was about mid-level four.
"What's going on?"
Chen Wangping secretly descended from the golden eagle and followed the radar to find the target. He found that the target was a strong man with a resolute appearance. He seemed to be out for shopping. He smiled when he met other people. There was nothing unusual and he seemed to have a good temper.
He followed for a while and found that the man was actually walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After confirming that the man had entered the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Wangping also entered the Mansion from the side. After a quick look, he found that Tang Xihe was in the study.
He flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Tang Xihe.
Tang Xihe sensed a powerful aura and was about to activate the elements in his body to attack, but when he looked up, all his energy suddenly dropped its guard and he happily threw himself into Chen Wangping's arms: "Brother Ping! You're finally back! How come you've already reached the peak of level six?"
Chen Wangping patted Tang Xihe, hugged her and told her the story of his journey.
The two reminisced for a long time, and Tang Xihe's stomach began to growl.
Chen Wangping smiled and took out some seafood specialties from the source of the water from his space device. He filled the table with them and asked Tang Xihe to eat and chat. He asked, "Xihe, where are those power generation and mining equipment? What are the resources like around here?"
Tang Xihe snorted complacently, but didn't answer. He picked up a plate of shrimp and ate heartily. He said with a grin, "Grandpa gave me three cities to choose from, and I specifically chose Firebird City because there's black oil underground here! And there's rich iron and copper mines. Those mining machines are all in the mines, digging day and night. They've accumulated a lot of minerals now. I'll take you there to see it after we finish eating."
Chen Wangping nodded and said, "By the way, don't tell anyone about my visit yet. Just pretend I haven't returned yet. I spotted someone who seemed suspicious when I came here. Let me investigate further."
Tang Xihe nodded, "There are many spies in this Firebird City. After Tang Huohu knew that I was at the peak of level 5, he had already torn his relationship with me a little bit, and tried every means to prevent me from reaching level 6."
Chen Wangping smiled and shook his head. "He can't stop it." He then took out the spring water core Li Wei had given him and said, "Use this first. I'll go investigate the two situations you mentioned earlier. Don't advance to level six yet. Conflicts are escalating too quickly, and we'll be running out of time."
Tang Xihe nodded and said, "I understand. Grandpa said the same thing. We are not well prepared now. If I advance to level six and intensify the conflict, the Fire Source Land will be in chaos."
Chen Wangping said, "That's right. Don't tell Grandpa about my return. First, withdraw all the people near the device. I'll go and study it myself."
After eating and drinking, the two of them went their separate ways.
A moment later, Chen Wangping found the mine where the base was located according to the map.
After not being maintained for so long, the equipment in the base was covered with a thick layer of dust and its durability had decreased a lot. The cleaning robots and maintenance robots nearby were too busy to clean it up. Some mining machines were even completely broken.
Of course, after all these efforts, the rewards are also considerable.
Chen Wangping made a quick count and found that over such a long period of time, more than 6,000 units of crude oil had been dug out, and there were tens of thousands of units of coal and copper mines!
Now I'm rich.
In addition to these, the base itself is also quietly accumulating the production of secondary mechanical crystals, and has currently produced more than 1,500.
You can upgrade the technology to the top level technology again.
Chen Wangping was not in a hurry to upgrade. He first took out the war elephant, soaked it in water, and then used the war elephant's perspective to observe the surrounding situation and look for uranium mines that could release radiation.
In the next wave of upgrades, nuclear reactors are expected to appear, which also means that the base is about to enter a new era.
We have to find enough uranium first.
From the perspective of the war elephant, there was a lot of radiation in the mine. After careful identification, he found some uranium radiation.
After searching along the mine tunnel, Chen Wangping discovered uranium radiation and some other fiery red radiation in an abandoned mine three miles away.
He felt something was wrong, so he put away his war elephant and quietly moved over to find out what was going on.
After getting closer, before entering, Chen Wangping felt that many things seemed to be crawling on the opening of his shoes. He looked down and saw countless large red fire ants with transparent tails crawling out from the ground at some point, and some of them were about to bite him.
Of course, this bite will definitely not work, and Chen Wangping’s own body-protecting lightning energy will counterattack.
But in order not to disturb the situation inside, Chen Wangping took the initiative to control the lightning energy, only knocking out the red fire ants, and then continued to move forward.
The closer you get, the more red fire ants there are, and the bigger they are.
Chen Wangping opened his solar hood and concealed his breath all the way, following the mine tunnel to the deepest part, which was where the uranium radiation and fiery red radiation were the most.
After turning the corner, he finally saw a few standing humanoids.
They stood on many scattered fiery red transparent minerals, with many red fire ants wandering around.
Chen Wangping observed for a while and found that the red fire ants on the ore seemed to be receiving radiation from the ore. The longer they stayed, the more their size changed. At first, they were only the size of rice grains, but if they could hold on to the end, they could become the size of a palm.
During this process, not many red fire ants can resist to the end. Most of them explode on the spot after a while, turning into a pool of body fluid and gradually drying up.
But even if there is only a one percent chance of survival, based on the huge number of red fire ants, a terrifying army can be cultivated.
Chen Wangping thought to himself, "No wonder there are fire-resistant red fire ants. They were bred here to absorb radiation, right? I'll turn you back to your original form."
