Chapter 1438: Food harvesting encounters obstacles, divine power fluctuation detector!
It is September 10th in the second year of the wasteland calendar.
Yin.
There is more rain in the New World, which is about to enter autumn. It will rain briefly in twos and threes. Although it brings a little bit of coolness to soothe fatigue, it also makes the major territories tense at all times. Don't dare to slack off at all.
At this juncture, everyone is afraid that all their efforts will be in vain.
In order to prevent the rain situation from expanding and causing immeasurable losses to crops that are about to mature, thus affecting the harvest of the year.
Even if it rains sporadicly, territorial managers will frequently organize disaster relief work.
Everyone didn’t have to do anything. They just stayed in the wooden house next to the field, waiting for the rain to fall and stop.
It’s boring and makes people dare not relax at all.
Viewed from a high altitude.
Large tracts of fields have been cultivated by industrious humans, and most of them are wheat with strong cold resistance.
Moistened by the rain, these wheat seedlings grew extremely luxuriantly. They were now golden and golden, like golden carpets spread out on the ground. It was really beautiful.
In addition, after experiencing the freeze disaster, corn has also been favored by most survivors.
This type of crop, which has strong resistance to harsh environments and does not require much land fertility, is most suitable for wasteland environments.
Even though most of the territory was planted a little later due to seeds, the fields have reached a certain scale at this time.
Many plants are tall and straight, with wide and thick leaves, and the corn cobs hanging on them have gradually become full.
It is foreseeable that the autumn harvest is over and mankind will open a new chapter in the wasteland!
Seven o'clock in the morning.
The door to the external checkpoint of the Golden Eagle Territory opened on time, and ships transporting supplies rowed out.
It mainly sells industrial products that are in high demand. From time to time, when the wind lifts a corner, you can see brand-new machines wrapped in tarpaulins.
Guards guarding the checkpoint will inspect the ship from time to time to verify the delivery note and the quantity of the goods.
But in fact, most of them just show up and go through the basic process without detailed inspection at all.
The few who were stopped were either because the two federal territories did not deal with each other and arranged for people to disgust each other.
Either there is friction between the outside helping territories, and they use this method to fight.
Now that the level had just opened, six or seven ships almost collided with each other. The people escorting the ships suddenly stood on the bow of the ship and began to curse each other in the distance.
"What happened ahead? There won't be another commotion, right?"
Still stuck in a large ship on the way out of the customs, Musk raised his head tiredly and took a look.
In the past, when natural disasters were frequent and threats abounded, the relationship between the federal territories was still relatively harmonious.
But as the death wave approaches and the situation gradually stabilizes, some unnecessary disputes inevitably break out.
Thirty-six federal territories.
Each territory has a large demand for talents and resources, and no one is willing to give up their share.
Every time a dispute occurs, it becomes a big deal.
In order to avoid the aberration from spreading, each federal territory has secretly reached a rule.
If anything happens, just use the territory you support outside to speak, and don't fight internally.
Only the size of the territory supported by the outside world is different, so how to conduct a fair gambling battle.
Such a confused approach made the dispute even more confusing, and even affected some territories that had no intention of participating in the war.
"It seems, I'll go out and have a look."
Guo Bulo frowned and walked out, and brought back the news after a while.
The Golden Eagle Territory, the largest federal territory of the Golden Giant Eagle, the Julang Territory supported by the federal lord Frutus, and the Mountain Eagle Territory supported by the Golden Horse Federation, the second largest, are quarreling.
Golden Eagle believes that among the support materials brought by Golden Horse, there are some important machinery that are expressly stipulated not to be leaked.
Once this kind of machinery is allowed to wander outside, it will easily cause the entire federation to lose its technological leadership, and the industrial products produced will have no market.
Jinma fought back, believing that Jinying had already shared some important technologies with Julang Territory.
They are only providing finished products now, and the materials produced will also be recycled. How could this happen?
Moreover.
Important machinery that cannot be leaked is the rule of the Golden Eagle Territory itself, not the rule of the Golden Eagle Federation Territory.
Can you control me?
You won’t let me have two territories, and I won’t let you. No one can leave the entire river.
This scene is rare.
Usually, the lower-ranked federal territories use this method to compete with each other.
Now that it has branched out between the first and second places, one can’t help but have some other ideas.
"Shet. It seems that the competition among these guys is getting more and more intense. I wonder how many of the thirty-six territories of the Federation will be left in a month or two."
Musk shrugged , feeling extremely helpless about this situation.
Under the cover of the nest, there are no eggs left.
His territory is one of the few that does not participate in competition, but sooner or later this trend will spread.
It’s just the ‘Tyrrell Territory’ supported by the Tesla Territory, which is incomparable to Julang and Mountain Eagle.
If we really talk about the external support territory, I am afraid that we will not be able to compete for any share.
Not long after.
The people behind were impatient and joined the fight one after another, pointing at the two men who were guarding the ship and yelling angrily.
The person in charge of Golden Eagle and Golden Horse snorted coldly and reluctantly ordered his men to sail away.
Their goal has been achieved.
Thirty-six federal territories are too many for the Golden Eagle, which needs to enter a period of rapid development.
The quantity must be reduced immediately in order to allocate resources more rationally.
The battle between the Golden Eagle and the Golden Horse was the prelude to this split and merger.
It’s just that many people present didn’t realize it.
“Let’s go quickly, don’t delay any more.”
Seeing that the dark clouds brewing in the sky seemed to be getting thicker, the fleets from each territory rushed out at full speed.
All electric drives.
The oil resources in the New World are staggeringly scarce. Even if the Golden Eagle arranged nearly a hundred experienced exploration teams, after a long search, they could only barely discover two oil fields with limited reserves.
However, the cost of extracting this oil is so high that it is simply prohibitive.
In contrast, the New World is extremely rich in solar energy resources, especially in the southern plate. Sunlight has become an almost inexhaustible energy treasure.
And battery technology, after years of development, is no longer an out-of-reach high-tech technology.
This enables even the smallest federal territories to build semi-automated battery flow factories to convert sunlight into electricity for daily use.
Although the production of batteries is no longer a problem, for ordinary residents, the consumption of this new energy source still seems a bit expensive.
Most people would rather go to bed as soon as the sun sets than continue to "stay up late" with the lamp on.
The four ships with the Tesla logo left the level, adjusted their direction, and headed towards Tyrell's territory.
They are all large ships with deep drafts, which shows that the things on board are heavy.
Occasionally, the river wind lifts the tarpaulin. If there is someone who knows the goods, they will surely find that the ‘T-1’ battery production process module newly developed by Tesla is loaded on the ship.
From pulp mixing to coating, to roller slitting, winding, assembly, and liquid injection. As long as sufficient raw materials are provided, this process module on the ship can produce a continuous stream of high-quality batteries.
Putting it in the Golden Eagle territory can definitely be counted as contraband. This is why Musk personally brought people over to escort it.
But when he went out today, his purpose was obviously not just to deliver the machine.
As soon as he exited the checkpoint, Guo Bulo led people to lift out a huge machine half a man high from the cabin.
The top of the machine is filled with densely packed antennas, a bit like the radio stations used for communication in the last century.
The operation method is also extremely retro, using purely mechanical buttons.
After a burst of clicks, Guo Bulo put on his headphones and began to listen carefully to the sound transmitted back by the machine.
Musk stood aside, a little anxious and a little uneasy.
The full name of this set of equipment is ‘Divine Power Wave Detector’. It sounds a bit anti-scientific, but its principle can form its own set of explainable logic.
After research, those mysterious items collected from the outside world that humans cannot understand are all contaminated with a special energy wave.
Although the energy fluctuations of each item are different, what humans are best at is finding similarities in differences.
In the future ruins, Guo Bulo, the 'Father of the Gods', used this special fluctuation to study the rules of the ruins and find the ruins hiding the godhead, thus paving the way for mankind to move towards the gods. The beginning of the road.
Now that time has advanced a lot, things still haven't changed much.
With the tireless support of the Tesla Territory, the detector was successfully manufactured, nearly two years ahead of schedule.
Dip.
Dip.
The detector emits a uniform beeping sound and does not detect any energy fluctuations in the surrounding area.
"Why no response?"
Musk pursed his lips and looked very serious.
The maximum detection range of the detector is sixty kilometers, and it can detect fluctuation reactions by sending and receiving signals.
If it works normally, you should be able to hear the signals from the special items inside the golden eagle, instead of being unresponsive like now.
But just after he finished speaking, the even beeping sound changed.
Beep, beep, beep.
The beep sound became rapid and began to sound regularly.
After listening for a while, Guo Bulo couldn't help but smile happily.
"Mr. Musk, we succeeded. I deliberately adjusted the sensitivity of the wave detection to very low, and buried the items that sent the signal underground, just to maximize the ultimate capability of the divine detector.
Now we don’t need to receive a large number of signals to respond, so even if something is buried very deep or there is an obstacle in the middle, we can still calculate the position through weak signals!”
"Is that so?" Musk was stunned and finally smiled.
Finally there is good news.
Although the principle of the detector is very simple, it does not mean that making the detector is easy.
The fluctuations contained in those special items are not released all the time, but fleeting. There are only a few special time periods every day when information is transmitted to the outside world, and the information cannot stay in the air for a long time. Stay.
This means that the detector must capture this information at the first time among the mixed signals in order to form a sufficient response.
Then based on the strength of the beeping sound, the strength of the mysterious item is judged.
The stronger the beeping sound, the stronger the mysterious item detected.
"Well, it disappeared. There is some discrepancy with our previous data. It seems that the fluctuation will indeed attenuate according to the distance."
After about half a minute, the signal received in the detector slowly disappear.
The current detection object is a spear that will send out a fluctuating signal at eight o'clock every day.
If it is detected at close range, the signal will last for nearly ten minutes before disappearing.
But it only lasted seven minutes at this time, which means that the increase in distance will indeed affect the fluctuation residence time.
Beep, beep, beep.
Guo Bulo did not take off his headphones, and immediately there was another rapid sound.
This is a special item hidden in the Golden Eagle territory, which will emit fluctuations regularly at 8:10.
Compared to the spear in Tesla's territory, the reaction of this particular item was much stronger, forcing him to turn down the volume of his headphones slightly to make it less harsh.
“The results are very good. It seems that we will be able to set off soon to explore other places in the southern plate to find some good things!”
Musk was a little excited.
Since obtaining the route, he has often been so excited that he cannot sleep, obsessed with studying the source of this power.
He knew that as long as it could be analyzed, humans would almost be able to gain strength comparable to alien gods.
"Yes, the detector is already very complete. We just need to adjust the accuracy again and it will be put into mass production immediately!"
Guo Bulo was also extremely excited, but still did not take off his headphones. , still listening for reactions.
He is a very careful and dedicated person, which is why he can find that special items will fluctuate regularly.
The fluctuation of each item is different and fleeting.
You need to listen patiently to find the differences and then mark them, so that you can follow up and study the secret of this special power.
Time of concentration always flies by.
The territory of Tyrael has arrived.
A burst of noisy voices came from the pier, as if someone was quarreling. The sound was so loud that it completely suppressed the echo in the headphones.
Irritated, Musk and Guo Bulo could only take off their headphones and look at the dock sullenly.
It was two groups of people arguing.
"We have agreed three days in advance to trade at this price. You suddenly changed the price today. Isn't this inconsistent with the agreement we reached?"
The man on the left has a loud voice and is holding a cloth bag in his hand. , the contents inside should be trading items.
"The price changes every day. We only ordered the quantity three days ago, but we didn't clearly explain the price, right?"
The man who responded to him was not far behind, and his voice was also covered.
“Why didn’t you tell me? Not only did we discuss the quantity with Director Liu, but we also specifically said that the price will be 90% of the market price.”
"Did Director Liu negotiate with you? Then why don't you just go to Director Liu?"
"Hey, you are acting rogue, aren't you? The price we gave you is already so low, and you still want to lower the price? Even if it’s half the market price, I won’t trade this to you just to feed the dogs.”
“Haha, whatever, it’s not us who are short of food anyway, you can sell it to whoever you want. Who?"
The two groups quarreled for a while and broke up unhappy.
Musk didn’t understand what was being said, but Guo Bulo did, and called the boss who escorted the ship over to ask a few questions.
Just listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that Tyrell’s behavior was not very honorable.
The boss of the boat went ashore and quickly asked about the general situation.
“It’s a trade. The Tyrell Territory and the surrounding Boulder Territory are trading, exchanging food for medicine, but there seems to be some issues with the price, and the deal cannot be completed.”
“ Change medicine?" Musk asked with a frown. He was somewhat familiar with the name Boulder Territory, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.
“Aren’t we supporting them with a lot of medicines? Why do we still need to buy them from outside parties?”
"The medicines in the Boulder Territory are cheaper and more effective. I asked about the price and they were nearly half cheaper than those sold in our territory."
"Half cheaper?" Musk was surprised.
"Then why didn't the deal be made?"
"It should be that the Boulder territory is short of food. They don't know what they think. They built the territory on the stone mountain and didn't cultivate the land. , they can only trade food with the outside world. The people in the Tyrell Territory have noticed this and want to bargain temporarily. "
A territory built on a stone mountain?
Musk suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen information about this boulder territory at the previous support meeting.
Hey, did that information say that this boulder territory can produce medicines?
