Chapter 154 Past and present life
——Ceasefire?
Song Shi thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of Chakoluo and the space carrier?"
When he heard the other party calling the commander-in-chief by his name, Ma Chico felt strangely He glanced at it, but immediately disagreed, and nodded and admitted: "Yes, did someone tell you in advance?"
He paused, but did not say "Then I won't talk too much". Instead, he took the initiative to introduce further.
Four years ago, under the leadership of "Chakro Vaughn", the current commander-in-chief of the Enlightened and the undisputed leader, a large number of Enlightened members were mobilized and settled in Forge Light City. Different from previous covert actions, this time the Enlightened Ones showed a rare tough stance.
——Because the "Rebel", Chacoro Vaughn, is here in person!
Even if he has almost never taken action, a fifth-level psyker's mere "existence" can change many things.
After a series of various forms of struggle, today, the Enlightened Ones have essentially controlled one-fifth of the Light Casting City area, and six months ago, they secretly successfully deployed a "geothermal "Power Plant", which has achieved self-supply to a great extent.
With Chakoluo personally present, the three giant companies headed by [Fubo Energy] can tolerate the Enlightenment controlling part of the Casting Light City area. After all, the latter controls most of the outer city area, and its value is not the same. Not too high.
In fact, they could use this to trap Chakoluo, turning this territory into a "cage", forcing the other party not to act rashly.
But a "geothermal power plant" is different. Different from the new energy technology in the old era that had the same name but was far less developed, today this geothermal energy supply facility rooted in the earth's mantle is enough to satisfy hundreds of Medium energy use by 10,000 people.
This is denying the foundation of Zhuguang City, and it is an attempt to challenge the field of [Fubo Energy].
——So, a new round of war begins.
Fubo Energy directly dispatched the aerospace carrier "Groden Glory", and Southern Region Heavy Industry and Zero Degree Network also dispatched corresponding personnel and equipment support, showing sufficient attention. Even the city government of Cast Light City reported the matter to the Security Bureau, which urgently mobilized a group of riot control peacekeeping troops and ace agents, ready to enter the scene at any time.
However, a month ago, Chakoluo ascended into the sky and intercepted the Groden Glory fifty miles outside the city. After a nearly three-hour confrontation between the two sides, all the above stopped overnight.
As if nothing happened.
But everyone understands that the real war never stops, it is just accumulating, waiting for the moment when it explodes.
When mentioning "Chakoro", Machiko's tone unconsciously slowed down. The colors of admiration, respect, admiration, and yearning were mixed together, dyeing his pupils with a different color.
“It’s been a good month this month.” He said: “There is a geothermal power plant here, it’s a lot warmer now, and the company dog doesn’t come to bother you. It seems like you’ve come at a good time. As luck would have it, I guess I can enjoy it for a while.”
"Really?" Song Shi raised his eyebrows and then smiled: "Then I'm looking forward to it."
As the two of them moved forward, the surrounding scene gradually changed.
The most obvious is "temperature".
As Dayuan who has arrived at the second ring, Song Shi can clearly feel that under the guidance of Ma Qike, the temperature of the nearby environment begins to slowly rise - it is still cold in the conventional sense. , but it is no longer enough to be called cool.
What are the effects of geothermal power plants?
The thermal energy in the mantle is extracted, part of it is converted into electricity and input into the circuit network, and part of it is directly supplied to the surface. If Fubo Energy has monopolized the sun, then the Enlightened Ones have stolen fire from the mantle.
The scale of this geothermal power plant is not small.
Song Shi made an assessment.
He even sensed the general location of the geothermal power plant - such a huge heat source could not be hidden from his senses.
Besides the temperature, the area controlled by the Enlightened Ones also looks a lot cleaner. At least there are no remains of severed limbs hanging inexplicably in the corners that have been frozen into the ice.
"How's it going? It doesn't look bad." Looking around at the scene around him, Machiko said with a little pride: "I am the second batch to come to Casting Light City. You have never seen this place before."
Machico was chattering, but Song Shi's eyes were already looking into the distance.
The outer city area of Zhuguang City does not have an official name. Instead, it is directly divided into six outer city areas in a fan shape. At this moment, Song Shi is located in the [Third Area], which is also one of the areas completely controlled by the Enlightened One. Song Shi raised his head.
At this moment, in the third district where there are supposed to be building height restrictions and it is difficult to see high-rise buildings, within the eyes of the young man, there is a brand new building nearly three hundred meters high. .
On the outer wall of one side of the building, the LOGO fonts of [Chunguang Beverage Industry] and [Denglan] are arranged vertically, and combined with the light golden holographic projection, the building shines brightly.
Aware of the gaze of the person beside him, Machiko also stopped.
"It seems that you have discovered it."
Looking at the building in the distance, he smiled proudly.
“This is our headquarters.”
·······
After finishing the employee ID card, Ma Chiko opened a temporary pass, handed it to Song Shi, and warned: "This is a temporary pass. You haven't gone through the adaptation training here. I don’t think the official pass will be issued for a while, so you can use this first.”
Song Shi stuffed the temporary communication pass into his pocket and looked around.
At this moment, they have entered the building.
From the outside, the decoration here is no different from an ordinary company office building. There are holographic posters of new products, videos introducing the company's development history, and the front desk with a delicate smile - in fact, it is exactly the same.
Yes, the Enlightened Ones have their own company.
[Chunguang Beverage Industry], which sells soft drinks, and [Denglan], which mainly deals in sports and outdoor equipment, are the two most important companies of Qimingshi. First, they earn money for enlightened people, and second, they serve as a propaganda tool to enhance their own influence.
Ma Chico took Song Shi into the elevator and pressed the button for the negative nine floor.
"The building on the ground is part of a regular company, and the underground is our real base." He smiled: "Don't worry, this doesn't need to be kept secret. Everyone in Zhuguang City knows this now. "
"Haha, so what if those company dogs know?" Machko's eyes were bright, and his tone was almost pious, just like the name also carries power: "Commander in Chief? Right here, who dares to do anything?”
Song Shi had seen this look many times before or now.
——Ding.
Obviously "Nine Floors Minus" was displayed on the side, but the elevator did not stop, but continued to descend.
"Um?" Ma Chiko was stunned for a moment, and quickly went up and pressed it again, but there was still no response: "The elevator is broken? Haven't you heard of any problems?"
At this moment , the elevator finally stopped.
——Minus thirteenth floor.
As the elevator door moved open, a figure stood in front of it, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the other party, Ma Chiko was surprised: "Director Gwenlin?"
Although the other party may not necessarily know him, he certainly knows the other party, but this person is responsible for situation analysis and coordination, Why did a member of the decision-making team with several levels of authority higher than him suddenly appear here?
The woman called "Director Gwenlin" nodded to him, and then turned her gaze to the person beside him.
"You are Song Shi."
"On behalf of the Enlightened Ones, I welcome your arrival." Under Machiko's surprised gaze, she said, "Please come with me, Chakoluo is waiting for you. ”
