Chapter 1072 Want asylum? Then it's better to build the base in the alliance's territory!
The original purpose of the shelter built before the nuclear war was to preserve the last fire of mankind.
The purpose of all the original managers is to wait until the impact of the war has passed before leading humans to return to life on the surface.
However, over a long period of time, countless inheritances have inevitably caused changes in the minds of underground humans.
Some people are addicted to power and are no longer willing to return the residents of the shelter to the surface and come into contact with more novel things to shake the rule.
Some people are afraid of danger. They are extremely afraid that danger will come overnight and destroy everything they have worked hard for.
Some people are afraid of other shelters that are also gophers, and some are worried about the predators who have no human form to speak of.
In short, even if the conditions are met for returning to the surface, not many shelters will choose to return immediately.
However, the above are basically for wandering shelters.
The main thing of a family-heritage shelter like Horsens Shelter is to not forget the original intention.
Seeing the young manager in front of him actually asking straight to the point, Kevin felt happy and continued to speak calmly.
“We need soldiers from the alliance to station on the protective ground for reconstruction. We don’t need too many people, but we need a clear attitude from the alliance to protect them. In addition, we also need certain technical guidance, you know, underground Not everyone can adapt quickly to returning to the ground after staying for a long time. We need the alliance's engineers to help formulate some reasonable reconstruction plans to build defense facilities on the ground."
"Yes. , we also need to open up a trade route between alliances. Just like the flat plains and the giant city shelters, we also need those fresh green plants and various gadgets, and we also need an enclave outside the city to build a sub-base. This is to let residents see the benefits of returning to the ground.”
Although the former sounds important, it is not actually important.
Sunny Harbor Shelter has withdrawn the Ranger Legion. The disintegration of the Southern Suburban Alliance will also put everyone in a period of isolation. Coupled with the destruction of modern weapons, the threats encountered on the ground are actually It's not much, and the Horsens Shelter's strength can completely handle it.
And what follows is the real purpose of Kevin's trip.
The complete plan to return to the ground was formulated by the first generation of managers as early as two hundred years ago.
The disappearance of the threat of nuclear radiation on the ground and the end of the nuclear war are only one of the most basic conditions.
Back on the ground, how and where to develop and whether there is a sustainable resource cycle are more important indicators.
Affected by the recent metal strike, all the starch and protein generating machines in the shelter are running almost 24 hours a day.
No one can guarantee that there will be a sudden change at any time that will cause these machines to stop working.
Therefore, a piece of land that can be planted suddenly became important.
"Well, it doesn't sound like these demands are too much, but..." Sumo shook his head: "The Alliance is not a charity. We need to know what we can get back after paying for it?"
< br>What do you get back?
Kevin was still thinking about how to negotiate more conditions. When he heard this, he suddenly became anxious and said quickly.
"There are as many elite soldiers in Horsens Shelter as there are in the Flat Beach Army. If we join, we will definitely bring a lot of help to the Western Suburbs Alliance!"
"At least Sunny Harbor Shelter, yes, They will definitely be afraid of us joining forces!"
"Oh, no less than the Pingtan Army."
This time it was not Sumo's turn to speak, and the hunting tiger who had been 'disguising' the sculpture finally endured. Can't stand it anymore.
“Boy, don’t think that the Tianyuan manager in front of you is young just because you want to fool him!”
“Not only will the addition of Horsens Refuge not scare Qinggang, but it will also bring a lot of trouble to our western suburbs.”
“I don’t want to wait until the battle breaks out and take people thousands of miles to help. Your sanctuary wipes your butt.”
Wiping your butt is okay.
Hearing Yehu’s arrogant speech, Kevin felt a tightness in his chest.
I wouldn’t have compared Pingtan Army if I had known earlier.
Liehu values the combat effectiveness of his army the most, and this guy also knows that the expansion of the Western Suburbs Alliance is not a good thing in some cases, especially now at this juncture, the purpose of extending its hands and feet to the southern suburbs is too obvious.
But when I turned around, I saw the half-smiling expression on Sumo’s face.
Does this young manager also know this?
No.
To be able to suppress Hunter Tiger and Aldrich, this man must also know the twists and turns involved.
Slowly negotiating terms from the bottom up no longer seems feasible.
Kevin couldn't help but frown, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Sumo, Mr. Hunter Tiger, I admit that Horsens Sanctuary does need the alliance's protection now, but at this juncture we can give it There are not many things, a lot of resources need to be used for construction on the ground, and the rest we have to prepare for emergency plans.”
“I can make the decision and agree to any conditions that are not excessive, and I can even give them. The alliance will issue an IOU first, and then slowly repay the debt after getting through this most difficult period. We are really in a difficult situation, and I hope you can understand.”
“Of course, I can understand. "Facing Kevin's humiliation, Su Mo couldn't help but smile more: "IOUs are a bit too hurtful to the feelings between allies, so let's do this. As the first shelter in the southern suburbs that wants to join the alliance, we do It should be given some extra care.”
The turning point is quite abrupt.
Kevin originally thought that he would need to make a few begging words in a low voice and push some excessive conditions back and forth before the other party would offer the real price.
Now I didn’t expect Sumo to be so straightforward, and he quickly said in surprise:
“Tell me, I am the manager of Horsens Shelter, and I have 100% decision-making power. "
Sumo nodded and said slowly.
"You just said that Horsens Shelter wants an enclave outside the city, right, and wants to build a sub-base. In this case, do you think this will work? The location is in our western suburbs Here, choose my refuge area.”
"The distance is relatively close. My soldiers can send troops to protect each other at any time, and they can also take care of each other's development."
Kevin couldn't help but be stunned.
“Behind this wall?”
“That’s right.” Sumo continued with a smile: “If you build the branch base on the land outside the southern suburbs, it will be far away from us The Western Suburbs Alliance's control area is too far away, and no one can guarantee when support will arrive in the event of danger. But if it is built in our Western Suburbs, it will not only make trade more convenient, but also ensure safety, so why not. Why not? "
The construction here is convenient for you, but it is not convenient for us?
Kevin was a little confused.
I feel that what the other party said makes sense, but at the same time I feel that I have overlooked something important.
But to put it this way, it is indeed not very reliable to set up the branch base on the land outside the southern suburbs.
Although it is close to my own shelter, it is too far away from the alliance's shelter.
Once there is real danger, the base will probably be completely destroyed by the time support arrives.
Thinking of this, Kevin lowered his head hesitantly, coughed slightly and said:
“But this place is too far from the Horsens shelter. Even with the alliance’s shelter, we have to consider going back and forth. Risk."
Sumo nodded immediately.
"That's true, but isn't the reason for establishing the sub-base to share the risk? The residents who are moved here to be responsible for the construction do not need to travel back and forth every day, they only need to build the base step by step. We There are soldiers from the alliance who will be responsible for protecting the material delivery."
Kevin was even more confused when he heard this.
If the distance between the two sides is ignored, the manager's proposal is indeed a better choice.
But if the branch base is really chosen here, it means that he cannot come here anytime and anywhere to check on the progress.
From the beginning of its construction, Horsens Refuge has prepared a complete set of material reserves and technologies for returning to the ground. Over the long years, it has also purchased many new things from the foundation.
But these are only enough for one construction, not enough for him to waste again and again.
Once it is wasted due to his hasty use, he will directly become the sinner of the entire sanctuary.
"Sorry, we have prepared a lot of resources for the construction of sub-bases, and there is only one chance. If you choose to build far away from the shelter, the risk is really too high." "Okay, look. Our new ally is still a little confused about the situation.”
Sumo smiled and turned his head. The hunting tiger next to him was already a little annoyed.
He didn’t like Kevin’s formal back-and-forth at all.
Especially compared with his allies, the gap is not too obvious.
However, upon hearing these words, Hunter Tiger suddenly felt a little happy, and nodded quickly and added:
"It's normal, just like those gopher guys in the southern suburbs saw us resuming ground construction on the flat beach, and thought we were Crazy.”
? ?
Kevin was a little confused.
Is this mocking his short-sightedness? Who thought that one day an illiterate like Yehu would be able to mock others?
But just when he wanted to retort, he saw Somo waving to the side.
Four guards walked up in standard goose steps and stood in front of a few people.
"Although it is already late at night, I think Mr. Kevin will not mind staying up late."
"Go and show Mr. Kevin a good tour of our plantation and Industrial area.”
If you rush here to attend the meeting, you will definitely not risk the risk of returning to the shelter overnight.
Kevin originally planned to set up camp on the edge of the city after discussing the alliance and wait for dawn before going back.
Now I suddenly heard that Sumo wanted someone to take him to visit plantations and industrial areas?
Have the northern suburbs developed to this point?
Kevin was a little confused, but in the end he didn't say any words of rejection.
In fact, he had this plan before he came, and he came anyway.
Even if we can't form an alliance with the shelter in the western suburbs in the end, we still have to see how far they have developed now.
"Don't worry about anything. Although Mr. Hunter Tiger is a violent person, he will never attack his allies."
"Go and find answers to your questions. ”
Kevin really couldn’t find any reason to refuse Sumo’s gentle suggestion.
Especially when he walked under the city wall and saw the lizard car parked not far away, he even suspected that the manager had predicted everything that would happen in advance.
"Mr. Kevin, I am your tour guide today. My name is Lu Zhou."
Since we were communicating with Blue Star people, the person in charge of leading the tour was Lu Zhou, who has now been promoted to the captain of the security team.
Among all the guards, he learned the Blue Star language very quickly, and he could hardly recognize many foreign accents.
"Except for the guards, our car can only carry four people with you. Please understand."
"We will definitely ensure your safety in the name of the alliance."< br>
The meaning of bringing four people is actually the same as bringing forty people.
Having entered someone else's territory, Kevin doesn't think that he can make any qualitative changes by bringing more people with him.
So, he only named ‘Geng Changtian’, the security captain responsible for the safety of this trip, and ‘Price’, who was about to be promoted to the main manager of the sub-base.
The three of them quickly got on the Lizard Car and headed towards Hope Village along the road that had been poured with a thin layer of cement.
Honestly, a coolie lizard pulling a cart is not a very good choice.
Although this guy's stamina is much stronger than that of a horse, it is difficult to achieve coordination among multiple horses. It is easy for chaos and bumps to occur when pulling the cart.
But no matter what, it is much more comfortable than walking all the way here.
Darkness is shrouded everywhere, and the wasteland without light pollution is almost invisible at night.
It didn’t take long for Kevin, who was already a little tired, to lean against the car and doze off.
The car went all the way west.
I don’t know how long it took, but in my daze, I felt a slight pushing sensation.
"Master Kevin, wake up, we are almost there!"
The security captain with an oriental face, Geng Changtian, whispered, startling Kevin away from his remaining drowsiness.
Arrived? !
Kevin subconsciously sat up straight, lifted the curtains on the side of the carriage, and looked out through the small window.
The sky is still dark, and the stars can be seen twinkling in the sky, casting a little light.
But looking in the distance along the horizon, there are several lighthouses more than ten meters high that are casting light and sweeping the ground.
Any place illuminated by light will instantly be reflected with touches of green.
Blowed by the night wind, these plants swayed back and forth, giving off a refreshing smell of the wilderness.
"Here.!"
Kevin's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The neat field ridges stretch as far as the eye can see, like an artist's work, straight and flat.
The seedlings are still growing vigorously in patches, but the progress is not uniform. It is obvious that they are not temporarily planted.
"Stop the car quickly, stop the car quickly!"
I wonder if I haven't woken up yet and am still dreaming.
Kevin roared, waiting for the lizard car to stop, and rushed in impatiently.
He rushed into the field like a madman, lay down on the ground, picked up the flashlight on his waist and shot it at the roots of the plants.
According to the information left in the refuge, there is a comparison of the relationship between land fertility and plant growth.
“My God, the land here is so fertile!”
No plants can be grown on the land irradiated by nuclear radiation. Even if it is planted two hundred years later, it will be burned by the radiation. die.
Many experiments have been done in the Horsens shelter, and Kevin, the manager, has been to the ground hundreds of times.
However, the results every time are disappointing. Because Qinggang City is close to the port, the nuclear radiation dissipates too slowly!
And as long as the radiation in the seawater cannot be processed, the land will be continuously affected.
There is no other way, the shelter can only try soilless cultivation or purified soil cultivation.
But those costs are too high, the cost is almost a hundred times that of machine starch.
Therefore, the most important factor in getting rid of machines is to find fertile land on which plants can grow.
The land in front of you is one of the top choices in the data!
"Mr. Kevin, the plantation here has just been opened not long ago, and the crops in it have not been cultivated for a long time. If you are very interested in plants, there are many plantations ahead, and the crops there are It should be almost mature!”
The first time he saw someone lying on the ground and howling, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and politely stepped forward to remind him.
But before he finished speaking, he was startled by Kevin's reaction.
The man who had just been lying on the ground bounced up from the ground as if there were springs under his butt.
He looked excited, showing a shocked look as if he had heard a fantasy.
"What? Is there anyone else who is about to mature?"
