Leaders of Rhode Island held cordial and friendly talks remotely with Covenant survivors.

The two sides conducted in-depth discussions on the cooperation policy and general direction of Terra's political, military and economic aspects, and reached a consensus.

At the meeting, the two sides fully exchanged views on future aerospace engineering, immigration and technical cooperation.

This meeting is beneficial and has laid a solid foundation for future cooperation.

Next, the two sides will carry out further development in personnel exchanges, economic mutual assistance and military cooperation.

An important step has been taken towards building a peaceful Terra.

Chapter 67 Human life is worthless

Helium flash is something that will happen 200 years later, but hunger is something that will happen tomorrow. After the summit meeting and a consensus on the next first stage is reached, the topic will inevitably change from the grand universe, the life and death of stars and civilization to the Come up on the ground and discuss it from a practical point of view.

In Rhodes Island, all operators and personnel do not exceed 1000, and the combat input force does not exceed 200. The only resources are the network of contacts and the declaration of the devil;

The Xia Group, an agricultural product group, is expanding very rapidly. It has unimaginable agricultural productivity and industrial productivity that is no less than that of any large company. The combat force exceeds four digits, and the main combat method is advanced mechanized combat mode.

However, the flaw is the lack of sufficient management personnel, and it is in a state where it can quickly attack the city but cannot establish effective rule. If a war is launched at this time, the good result will be an incomplete revolution, and the bad result will be a northern expedition. War, where the fruits of victory are stolen, is pointless.

In addition, there is still a lack of a program as a political party, no written laws and a series of related social systems. It is never easy to build a new society. It must be gradually improved from the most basic place and step by step. , rather than expecting quick success and quick profit.

Therefore, discussing how to save the world at this time, whether it is the doctor or Lao Xia thinks it is too early, Lao Xia will still carry out the original plan and start the construction of Kazdale Agriculture step by step. No matter what you want to do, first ensure that everyone Being able to eat is the first step.

As for the doctor, he needs to talk to Tallulah to reorganize the power of the Tower of Babel, reconstruct the past network of contacts, and start to formulate a new plan. Although the two sides have not signed any agreement, they are in a tacit understanding start their respective coordination activities.

Just as the stars in the sky can't stop Xia Lin's plan to dig ice to get water, they can't stop the looting and attack of the nomadic alliance. The outermost farm stations were pulled out almost instantly, and the proud warriors galloped in the fields. , Indulge the mounts to eat young crops, destroy irrigation and water conservancy facilities, and plunder those civilians who have a little savings.

And similarly, some distance away from them, the farm guards finally waited for the reinforcements to arrive. The leader was a modified Titan chariot, which replaced the original Originium rail gun with a double-linked rotary machine gun. Load a 25-kilogram shell, and then shoot at a high speed for about 2 seconds-a real metal storm generator.

The best strategy against nomadic cavalry, if it were not for the need for this modification, reinforcements would have arrived before their attack, and several hectares of fields and future harvests would not have been lost.

This is followed by an off-road vehicle with a reinforced frame and welded armor. A heavy machine gun with a bulletproof shield is mounted on the roof, and there is a simple fragmentation grenade launcher next to it, which is also a sharp weapon for chasing death and north.

"Are you all here?" Yelena jumped out of the vehicle. She was wearing a cool vest and cropped pants, with a scarf around her neck pulled up slightly to cover half of her face. The magazine, at first glance, looks like the kind of hero who is suitable for appearing in places like Afghanistan.

"It's here, I'll wait for you." Muyan nodded. The Sarkaz mercenaries under her were in a full set of heavy equipment. They were surrounded by well-dressed horses. The guns were hung on one side of the saddle, and the other side was A simple dual launch tube, you only need to step on the launch plate, and 4 simple mortar shells will fly out, which looks full of wild flavor.

"Let's go, while those guys are celebrating, wipe them all out!" Yelena was not in a good mood at all. not so good.

The troops set off, carrying billowing smoke and dust, and headed straight for the other side's large troops, and such a movement naturally couldn't be concealed from the Sarkaz people, "It seems that the shepherd dogs have arrived, let the boys calm down and get their weapons ,Ready to fight!"

With [-] elite riders and tens of thousands of slaves as auxiliary soldiers, there are at least [-] people who can shoot arrows, which is enough for military leaders to have the confidence to meet any troops.

Of course, his confidence was right. If it wasn't like this, they wouldn't be able to rush in at all, and the Sarkaz mercenaries under Mudyan would put their heads on the fence as decorations.

There were too many people, even if they collapsed, they would still be a large number of routs. The damage caused by routs was much more terrifying than that of an organized army, so Muyan and the others insisted on waiting until the reinforcements arrived before starting to act.

As for the job of defending against these guys who can't make a detour, it is handed over to another group of heavyweight reinforcements, which I believe will give those Rangers a big surprise.

"..." Patriot squatted down and crushed the broken young crops on the ground, his expression was very ugly, not to mention Ursus, even Kazdel still had at least half of the infected people starving, and these bastards How dare you trample on the farmland?Even the inspectors of Ursus wouldn't dare do that!

"Kill them all, put their heads on the tip of the halberd, we don't need prisoners in this battle." The shield guards have formed a defensive formation, and the accompanying auxiliary troops have also occupied the water pumping station and other buildings on the border of the farmland , Defense equipment is being erected.

The billowing smoke and dust quickly approached the camp, and the riders from the tribal union also got on their mounts and began to charge. However, what emerged from the smoke and dust was not another group of cavalrymen as imagined, but a heavyweight chariot, such a huge and solid Armor is definitely not something the scimitar in hand can deal with.

The blasting arrows can only create scratches on the steel plate. Except for the painters in the logistics department, no one was injured. "Reload and tear them apart!"

The two bullet discs were sent, and the rider at the forefront was instantly shattered, as if hitting an invisible wall, turning into blood-red waves splashing, the vehicles on both wings were firing briskly, restraining the enemy's formation, and The Sarkaz mercenaries equipped with lances bypassed the main force in front and slashed straight into the queue of auxiliary soldiers.

It is really inconvenient for the chariot troops to capture prisoners. The fate of those warriors can only be completely wiped out, because they are nobles, leaders, and organizers. Shepherds are good laborers.

Collapse at one touch, literally collapsing at one touch, as if throwing a balloon filled with red ink on the wall, blood-red things splashed in all directions, and the crowd seemed to be red ink flowing along the wall, leaving a scarlet trace. At the same time, outline all kinds of strange routes.

Some surrendered on the spot, some tried to ride their horses into the farmland area, and were slaughtered by farmers and shield guards, and some immediately turned their blades and slashed at the heads of their comrades in the rear and those nobles who supervised the battle as soon as they changed their minds. Nimblely, he headed towards the camp, preparing to loot it himself before the powerful enemy came.

It fully explained how, in a war, the formation of the phenomenon that the joint damage caused by the formed troops did not even break half of the troops.

The battle lasted only a short time, and the king's account hadn't been looted by the rout for a long time, and the Sarkaz mercenaries followed him in. The nomadic tribe has a good habit, that is, the leaders and nobles of the tribe will not Staying in the king's tent to "strategize", but will appear on the front line of the battle, and now they probably can't find the complete fragments.

The 15mm Gatling thermal energy machine gun will not leave any complete corpse fragments, because the ammunition of this caliber can already hold Longyan warheads in it, and there is no problem with claiming to be a thermal energy version of the explosive machine gun. In other words, each shot hitting the human body is equivalent to detonating a lamb's volcanic spell inside.

This ammunition was improved by Lamb. Tallulah's origin stone skill is burning instead of exploding. It is suitable as propellant and incendiary bomb, but as a bomb, it needs enough charge to form a cloud explosion effect.

The lamb's origin stone skill is like a burning explosion. The improved Dragon Flame Bullet uses both of the origin stone skills. Of course, the lamb didn't use the wetware, but an improved spell Pulse crystals to do it.

The penetration force is basically zero, and the personnel lethality is full. The cavity of the gel bionics test result is 1.1 meters in diameter, that is to say, unless it hits the end of the limbs or any part of the body, the whole person will be shattered. That's it.

And as for being fired at a rate of fire of 6000 rounds per minute... It may require a high-pressure water gun to clean it up. Of course, the desert of Kazdale does not need to be cleaned up. Such a thorough fragmentation seems to be It's like putting a basal fertilizer on the land, just call a tractor to cover it with a layer of artificial soil.

The disadvantage is that the price is astonishingly expensive. It needs to use synthetic jade to make spell pulse crystals, and the burn rate is about 2 to pure source stones per second. Even a local tycoon like Shi Huaiya thinks it is a bit too wasteful.

And the rest in the king's tent are the old, weak, women and children. The old people and the teenagers who are taller than the wheels are all eliminated. Lao Xia can't bear it, but the mercenaries who are familiar with the laws of the desert are not so kind. Where are the nomadic tribes? What kind of productivity came to feed the ordinary old people. These old people are former nobles. If they don’t clean them up, they will bury hidden dangers for rebellion and restoration.

The teenagers who are above the wheels are already sensible and have begun to know what hatred is, and it is also a hidden danger in the future. These two groups must be eliminated.

The remaining children and women don’t matter, one can still be educated, the other is a kind of living goods, traded from this tribe to another tribe, and now the treatment of the new tribe is obviously better, except for some nobles Except for the noble lady, the rest will quickly accept their fate.

As for the accumulated wealth being collected together and waiting for distribution after the war, Muyan’s troops are already quite disciplined, not to mention the high salaries that everyone receives from the group, for this point the spoils of war will be distributed fairly. To be hanged on the gallows is too unfair.

The Patriots also suffered some attacks. It seems that the other party is planning to send out a group of people to plunder the rear, cut off supplies, burn, kill, loot and destroy. This is also a common tactic and form of the North Casdale War.

Then they smashed into pieces on the black city wall. These shield guards, who have even seen the demons, are not afraid of the strange screams and spells in their mouths. Their large shields cannot be shaken by the demons, let alone this weak counterattack .

The shield guards transferred by Lao Xia have all seen demons before, and the reason why they don’t stay in the snowfield is that they can’t face the demons again, otherwise the back door in their hearts will make them instantly overwhelmed by fear—the anti-demon forces are all One-off——After the fight, you can either be executed, or transferred, or you can choose to perish with the demons.

Coincidentally, I took it here to fight with the Sarkaz people here. The consequence of seeing the demons is that they can no longer face the demons, and the advantage is that they will no longer be afraid of other enemies, and they will only feel boring.

And the brave Sarkaz fighters trained here happened to be sent to the snowfield, and there happened to be a large number of brave men to fight the demons there, and they would be pulled back after the fight to deal with the local forces, forming a cycle.

The battle ended in less than 3 hours. About 6000 people died, including those who were executed in the king's tent. The remaining slightly injured were close to 2000 people. About 2 people were captured, mainly shepherds. And women and children, and the rest all ran away, and the snow monster team was leading people to chase.

Presumably their ending is either completely collapsed into many small tribes, or dying of thirst in the desert-again, everyone thinks that the "leaf-cold air conditioner" is Lao Xia's greatest invention-a person who is under the sun under the hot and cold Thirsty running, one enjoying the cold wind and cold soda in the car, the physical strength and water consumption are completely different.

Shepherd slaves were originally slaves. They were slaves in any tribe, and they were part of the "trophy". They were rarely killed, and they did not have any rebellious spirit. Most of the rebellious slaves died at the hands of other slaves.

"I need a lot of manpower to send it to the snow mountain construction site, and it is not suitable for mechanized operations." It is mainly the section from the water intake point to the mountain slope, and the subsequent Karez pruning can be carried out by mechanized work. A deep ditch deep enough, then covered with a cover plate with an airgel insulation layer, and covered with soil, an underground culvert is formed.

Shaft construction can also be completed with a professional well drilling rack. If you are lucky enough to drill brine, install a water purification station to filter the brine, inject fresh water under high pressure again, and squeeze out more brine, and so on. .

Salt is also an important hard currency of Kazdel. Salt can marinate meat, so that when livestock are slaughtered in autumn, there will not be too much waste, so that people will starve to death in winter, and the supply of salt on the farm is unlimited. There are even excess portion outlets.

Salt became the first product of Kazdel's pioneering project, and when the shepherds faced the salted bread, they all burst into tears. They thought it was a beheading meal—have you ever seen it Do slaves eat salted snow and whole wheat bread?

They once firmly believed that they would be sacrificed alive. Those derricks and water purification stations looked like some kind of altar to evil gods. The former was a gallows, the latter was a fire rack, and those erected to process metal minerals The electronic furnace roared like a devil.

"Everyone take a tool and dig the ground, hurry up, don't make me say it a second time!" The slaves here are different from those infected in Ursus, they are the ones who have become slaves, and only the whip can make them Be obedient, at least for now only the whip can make them obedient, or more precisely, if you don’t give them two whips, they will still think you are joking or planning to kill them.

As for the emancipation of the slaves later, their minds must first be liberated, but it will take time for them to realize that they are no longer slaves, but hired workers who can earn a living by labor.

To be honest, Lao Xia has already worked hard to exploit. At the beginning, the infected workers on the snow field had nutrition cream, jam, and chicken to eat, while these serfs in Kazdel only had bread slices and salt pipes. Not at all.

And Longmen's wages are less than half of ordinary people's, and the canteen doesn't have any hard dishes. Basically, the nearby chicken farms and Lao Xia's farm have unsold unsold goods, so the canteen does what they want.

However, it is really unbearable that his productivity is too much beyond Terra, even though he has been working very hard to adjust his thinking to exploit with the maximum satisfaction of capital and industrial expansion, it still gives people a kind of—— Where did this guy come from, the illusion of a great benevolent person.

The cafeteria only has leftovers, that is, dishes made from things that don’t look good and fail to pass the quality inspection, but the problem is Lao Xia’s farm leftovers, which refer to hundreds of tons of brown sugar that failed to decolorize, and mountains of tomatoes , Potatoes, concentrated farming that cannot satisfy the taste of Soul Eater, chicken overused with antibiotics, insects raised for industrial protein production, soda water blended with corn syrup, flavors and fruit flavored powder...

Basically, the materials are complete and rich, no less than any farmer's market, and for most of the low-level salaried workers in Longmen - the dishes in this cafeteria are already very rich, even if Lao Xia really tried his best Cut off all the extravagant dishes, and manage and produce them with the highest efficiency.

And the canteen that the salaried workers in Longmen are satisfied with has been brought to Kazdel, except for the snow monsters who have been a little tricked by Ursus, the rest of the people are almost flattered——Question: A fruit platter in the desert what does it feel like?To be reasonable, this is something that only tribal leaders can afford.

However, Lao Xia's place is basically enough, because the orchard and fruit canning factory in Usas have been put into production, and all the fruits that fail the quality inspection are made into cans and sent over for use here and the Longmen Canteen.

Tallulah was even trying to get tens of thousands of tons of apples and oranges. The fruits rotted quickly, thanks to the cold climate in Ursas, otherwise they would rot even faster, and it took a lot of effort to arrange transportation and markets.

In the end, the major wineries in the northern city-state bravely stood up to save Tallulah from the fire and water, and bought all the slightly rotten fruits. Going up, in short, vacate the warehouse first, because summer is coming soon-summer harvest is coming soon, let's vacate the warehouse first!

There is sugar water, bread, fruits and vegetables, and occasionally a little "mystery meat" (insect protein seasoning cubes). The slaves are integrated into the farm life at a rapid speed, and there is a more serious problem that follows: men and women Gender imbalanced.

Those left are women and children, which means that the Sarkaz women on the farm now account for 7%, and there are too few adult men. If it weren't for these women, they could at least support half of the men. Lao Xia should have done this for this matter Headache.

However, it also solved another problem by the way. If it doesn’t work, send people to Ursas. The farms there happen to lack women and there are too many men. As for the unstable warlocks like Chimera and Saka in future generations He can no longer take care of the infection of Zizi people.

At the same time, Rhodes Island broke anchor and began to move towards Kazdel, accompanied by Tallulah's integration movement cadres, an outstanding talent who had just joined the integration movement but was not an infected person, Lyudmila (King Killer) author), recommended by Herag, the daughter of Conscience Scientist Ilya.

Different from the original road of rebels and avengers, this version of Lyudmila is an idealistic girl who is deeply influenced by her father and determined to become a scientist, learn farm technology, and completely change the harsh environment of Ursus .

Although his father was betrayed by Miguel, he did not die because of this. The main reason was...the agreement between the farm and the emperor caused the Ursus government to stop the pursuit of these conscientious factions, and the Black Snake also I don't know why this kind of assassination was stopped-maybe he was afraid that Lao Xia would do the same to him.

Rhodes Island is going to rebuild the Tower of Babel and re-attempt to integrate Kazdel, which happens to need the help of the integration movement, one to unite ordinary people, one to unite the infected, Lao Xia provides supplies and production support and unites those enlightened nobles and emerging Bourgeois, then it is only a matter of time before Kazdel is integrated.

However, even so, it is not a good thing that depends on the spread of the war. At least several battles will be fought, and the time will be at least several years. People will die piece by piece like weeds in the wilderness, but nothing can be done Prevent the final result from coming.

Chapter 68 Not Yesterday

In North Kasdale, on the Longnan desert, the endless gray desert soil field was gradually eroded by a touch of greenery. Groups of laborers walked through the loess, digging field ridges, covering soil, spreading grass seeds, and digging irrigation canals.

Behind them, there is a vast land after reclamation. Two drones hover over the field, spraying pesticides and herbicides. The plants on the desert have strong vitality, and may even die due to a heavy rain In a few days it turns into a meadow full of flowers.

If no herbicides were sprayed, it would be difficult to say whether the crops or the weeds would grow taller after Laoxia's irrigation water conservancy was repaired.

In a further place, under the tall derrick and the pressurized water pumping station, the verdant and floating green field extends to the oasis. A huge white egg-shaped structure covers the entire core area of ​​the oasis. Tall Populus euphratica and sand Compared with it, jujube is like a circle of low shrubs.

Inside the giant egg, circle after circle of spiral hydroponic tanks are coiled along the inner wall, and the carbon nanotube cables suspend disc-shaped aerial platforms. The center of the platform is either a pool or a garden. This is the oasis nursery center. It is also the first Star Alliance standard agricultural giant facility officially built by Lao Xia - the desert ecological dome.

The spiral planting groove closest to the inner wall is used to grow climbing plants and vines. The green ones are gradually closed towards the sky along the grid on the inner wall. The bottom layer is pumpkin and eggplant, and the top layer is guarana fruit. After the dome is closed, the evaporated water vapor accumulates on the top, and the sunlight and hot air closest to the zenith accumulate, which is the closest to the rainforest environment it needs.

In addition to planting edible plants, Lao Xia’s ecological agriculture is also an important part of medicinal and ornamental plants. In addition, there is another plant that is indispensable in his agricultural structure, that is, the suspended platform Algae and aquatic plants in the pool.

Now it is in the flowering period, pale pink and lavender lotus flowers bloom in the center of the pond, and colorful morning glory spreads on the inner wall, flowing down from the central zenith like colorful waterfalls.

The artificial rain dish sprays water mist regularly, and under the light collection system and the internal sunlight-like lighting system, it maps out regular iridescence. Under the water mist, there are densely packed crop seedlings planted on the ground.

Slightly away from the inner wall, there are circles of hydroponic tanks containing seedlings of rice, wheat, green pepper, pepper, soybeans, etc., which will develop in this circle of hydroponic tanks that look like rails. When planting, move it to the field outside.

Of course, the seedlings of rice and wheat are mainly planted around the oasis, and the output is used to supply the newly built primary food processing factory. The products will not be sold locally, but sent to the nearest Longmen for further processing.

Perfect ecological adjustment equipment, colorful ornamental plants, and large and small suspended platforms are like gardens in the sky. At night, the luminous plants and fungi planted on the edge of the suspended dish shine with faint cold light. Under the reflection of the street lights, this place is more like some kind of dreamland that should appear in a fantasy world.

It makes people suspect that among the shadows of flowers and street lamps, under the dreamlike cold light, a few elves will jump out at any time.

"The artificial paradise is worthy of the name." The patriot reached out to pick a lotus for Yelena, but after thinking about it, he put it down. "It's very beautiful, what a pity."

It's a pity that this artificial paradise cannot be reproduced on a large scale, and it looks beautiful. It is just a by-product of industrial art design. In fact, it is still a standard production facility, although it is really necessary to build a large park ecological dome and ornamental botanical garden Well, it's not that Lao Xia can't do it, but it consumes too many resources, and it doesn't have practical significance in the current state.

"Where is this?" Xia Lin complained, "The ornamental seeds are not even half of the regular park. If you have visited our real tourist attractions, it can only be said to be at the level of garden nurseries."

"Will there be elves?" Yelena asked curiously.
