Chapter 405 The invisible killer on the grassland


Chapter 405 The Invisible Killer on the Grassland

In southern Tanzania, the tropical grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. Wild animals walk on the slightly undulating land, and the sun rises high.

The sounds of various birds are heard one after another in the sky, and the eagle is hovering in the sky, watching the ground keenly, looking for prey.

The sun shines on this land, the early morning dew has been evaporated by the sun, and the temperature is gradually rising.

Zebras and giraffes are looking for breakfast in the open grassland, and lions are also watching the foraging herbivores in the distance, but it is not the time to hunt yet.

The best way to keep food fresh is not to kill it for a while.

A breeze blew by, and the flowers and leaves were floating in the wind.

The grassland is another natural landscape that is about to be forgotten by the cyberpunk world. It is too small compared to the endless and rough sea; compared with the coast, it lacks the delicacy of the beach and the frivolous tranquility of the waves.

But the wild animals here are extremely rich. Groups of animals run freely in this uninhabited land, and the wilderness and the sky are the same color.

[V: It’s such a dry place, but these weird things are quite interesting]

Grassland was also recorded as Mewtwo.

Compared to the first two Mewtwos, the scenery here is very special: its beauty often comes from the various animals on the grassland.

The animals keep their distance and live together on the same land, even though some may only have a few hours left to live.

The number of humans in the cyberpunk world has dropped sharply, and the number of animals has dropped sharply due to large-scale environmental destruction. Maybe there will still be such a grassland somewhere in Africa. But certainly almost no one will pay for this kind of Mewtwo.

The dynamic system attracts V's attention. Some people can stare at animals all day long, and V has also entered this state now.

[Lille: Most of the wild animals are extinct. Did you see that? rhino. 】

[V: How to say it. 】

[Lille: Some rich people like to decorate prosthetics with their horns as a symbol of status, and now there are basically no rhinos in the wild. 】

The fourth generation of prosthetics also includes this type: decorated with rare natural handicrafts, which has no other meaning except high cost.

[V: Tsk, if you have money, spend it on fun. 】

This time, Mewtwo is much more autonomous. V can wander around the grassland at will, rhinos, lions, lizards, cats

and even go up to the sky to see what birds are there.

Because this time Mewtwo was not taken by a human, but by a drone.

The drone dispersed the birds, and the beast stopped what it was doing and looked into the distance warily:

The steel vehicle was moving.

Atlas Group's electric cars appeared on the grassland, and Lear was immersed in commanding the scene through the remote network, while also editing Super Dream.

In addition to the Atlas Group vehicles, the African Union law enforcement team composed of the Tanzanian government army and the Wakanda Guard is moving forward.

"So now we are heading to a nuclear weapons raw material mine?"

Captain Carter asked the robot in the back row while admiring the grassland.

To be precise, this was originally a set of exoskeletons. Through remote control, some parts of engineering equipment were assembled into a robot body with a flexibility close to that of humans.

But it is a bit difficult to move flexibly like a human being. This is more of an upgraded application of human-machine coordination technology.

"Yes, but nuclear energy technology can now be used for civilian use. We can use you can understand it as using nuclear energy to generate electricity."

"That's really" Carter didn't know how to describe it.

Carter never saw the atomic bomb explode, but only heard the legend about nuclear energy from his friend Howard Stark.

Humanity has mastered the power of self-destruction, but it has also found the key to unlimited energy——

These are Howard's exact words.

So she suddenly asked: "So now we have unlimited energy? But I heard that there seems to be an energy crisis now?"

Frank laughed, because the energy crisis is The word was spoken by him.

“What are you laughing at?” Carter asked inexplicably, “Howard said that as long as we can use nuclear energy for civilian purposes, we will have endless electricity and endless energy.

We can develop this energy together, why must we compete for it?”

"If something is infinite, it won't be sold at a good price." Frank shrugged, "Although I have no education, I still understand this truth.

If the world finds infinite energy "How can traditional energy companies survive?" "You mean Roxon Energy?" The group will definitely block this technology?”

“Isn’t it like this now?”

In just two minutes, Lille received a message from uranium. Company Ten’s response: They rejected Atlas Group’s $180 million offer.

As expected.

Lille in the back row sighed: "Uranium Ten Company rejected the offer."

Atlas Group's offer was US$180 million, which was far higher than that of Kumuri Valuation of river deposits.

This is not a small amount of money. If you continue to add more money, it would be a bit deceptive to say that this is normal commercial use -

Commercial use requires cost consideration, and only companies that are striving for monopoly Only then would he do such a thing regardless of the cost.

Captain Carter asked:

"Then what? We just grab it head-on? With all due respect, maybe their behavior is unkind, but what's wrong with the one who bids the highest?"

Lille Reply: "If they break the law there's a problem, Captain."

[Moss: Mr. Li, the Mukuju River is just ahead, but it still belongs to Uranium 10 Company. In order to avoid possible problems, we hope that you can use the gentlest way possible to inspect]
< br>[Lille: Okay, stop for a moment, that’s it. 】

Moss is the minister of mining in Tanzania and is responsible for dealing with these industries. He served as our guide this time.

The Mukuju River deposit is just in the distance, located near a wildlife reserve.

Lille originally wanted the Tanzanian government to take back the purchasing rights on the grounds that the mining volume was not up to standard, but that would indeed be a bit of a bandit.

After all, although the contract stipulates the mining volume, it also states that both parties should consider each other's situation and communicate and resolve disputes in the spirit of win-win cooperation.

The low price of uranium ore is a market factor. If we really communicate with this "friendly" mentality, it is not impossible to understand each other.

Now his relationship with the African Union is in the honeymoon period. Implanting prosthetics can quickly help these backward countries establish industrial systems. It is certain that they will prefer Atlas.

But if this kind of thing is done, it will inevitably leave hidden wounds in the hearts of both parties.

But things have changed now.

The footage returned by the drone shows that there are no specially built roads around, and there are no signs of cars frequently passing by.

This is a little unusual:

Uranium mining, like other mineral mining, produces a lot of waste: tailings that cannot be used normally, waste rock produced by excavation, and wastewater used to produce and maintain equipment.

Unlike other minerals, radioactive mineral veins The waste produced by mining is also reflective, which is a nuclear pollutant.

Liel was familiar with what all types of radioactive mineral mining looked like. He had checked the available data on this deposit before coming

So he found something was wrong. So right.

The predicted resource volume of the Mukuju River deposit is almost 50,000 tons, but the news associated with the mining of Uranium 10 Company is too small.

Whether it's the flow of equipment and people, or the amount of waste transported.

It doesn't match up.

The convoy stopped under the control of Lille, and the drone began to approach the mining site from the forest——

However, the drone controlled by the wireless terminal had just approached the camp, and the equipment became abnormal. flashed.

Others might have thought that the signal might be bad, but Lille suddenly became vigilant: radioactive substances might affect communication signals.

But before Lille could think about it carefully, he quickly determined that there was something wrong with the mine.

Because the drone saw several black workers wearing only thin work clothes walking out of the mine, dragging a small cart of crushed ore behind them.

[Lille: No offense, but Mr. Moss, do you think this is normal? 】

The picture was transmitted to Moss's eyes, and when he saw this scene, his face instantly turned livid.

In the Noda mining area, the workers were all laughing and looking very happy.

But this is radioactive mineral mining, and spiritual happiness cannot withstand radiation.

The workers are uneducated, but this official who has studied abroad still understands.

[Moss: We’re going to seal this place down! Shut down these Americans! 】
