Chapter 1380: Incorporated Into Tianyuan, Incredible Mineral Reserves!
If there were other better options, Su Mo was actually unwilling to rely on face recognition to achieve his goal.
But there was no way. At this stage, any other means could not achieve the same effect as face recognition, or even half of the effect of face recognition.
At this moment, standing on the deck, he looked down at the large crowd gathered at the dock and landing point below.
Compared with the survivors who joined Tianyuan recently, the survivors here were obviously in much better spirits.
Perhaps because the Mining Island Alliance entered a state of peaceful development ahead of time, many people's eyes flashed with love for life, expectations for the future, and the kind of perseverance that humans have in difficult situations.
If it weren't for the intrusion of disasters and other external factors, it would be just around the corner for the Mining Island Alliance to develop into a gathering place for millions of people.
Of course, the current result seems to be not much different.
After a brief silence, the crowd of thousands of people suddenly erupted in a tsunami-like vibration, and all kinds of incomprehensible shouts rang out.
Bafford was almost knocked down by the surging waves behind him, and his whole head was confused.
That, is that the human Su Shen?
He couldn't believe his eyes, or he didn't believe that he could see the legendary human Su God on such an ordinary afternoon.
How to describe this feeling?
It's like a group of people living in a slum, and unfortunately a big fire broke out yesterday and burned most of everyone's belongings.
Just when everyone was still worried about how to survive tomorrow, they suddenly picked up an unredeemed lottery ticket on the ground.
When they took it to the lottery shop and asked, it turned out to be five million!
"This is not a dream, this is not a dream, right?"
Bafford was like a seaweed, completely caught in the crowd and swaying back and forth.
Danny Coman, who was standing with him, had a similar reaction, and the whole person completely lost the ability to think.
As for the defense team responsible for maintaining order?
It can only be said that they are not as good as those ordinary survivors who were excited and screaming.
At the moment when Su Mo's figure appeared at the bow, Hu Shulin, who had always remained calm in the crowd, also showed an unbelievable look in his eyes. He stood there, just looking up at the huge ship woodenly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Fate seemed to have played a big joke on them.
Just when everyone was full of hope and expected the alliance to develop steadily and move towards a more prosperous tomorrow, the sudden war almost destroyed their dreams.
The war between the six major islands left only their Tiantie Island alone.
Hu Shulin asked himself, he knew that he could not shoulder the responsibility of leading the defense force of the entire Mining Island Alliance.
There are more than 100,000 miners here, with large areas of high-value exposed minerals, which are undoubtedly tempting fat in the eyes of those gathering places outside.
What's more, powerful forces like the Green River Territory are still eyeing them covetously.
Under such internal and external troubles, they can only rely on this mysterious outsider.
Hu Shulin has actually thought about it. If these outsiders can't solve the covetousness of other gathering places, then he will simply persuade Sun Guangmin to take people away from the Mining Island Alliance.
After all, compared with the completely unequal benefits of risks, life is obviously more important.
However, now, his mental activities seemed a bit redundant.
Su Shen is here?
His Tianyuan territory is here?
Hu Shulin's thoughts exploded in his mind, and all kinds of complicated emotions were completely intertwined.
He looked up at where Sun Guangmin was standing, but saw that this elegant manager was not much better, and he kept muttering something as if he was possessed.
After a long while, until the command ship began to dock, Sun Guangmin finally accepted what he saw.
"So... you are from..."
He turned his head and looked at Mala Tiechui with a complicated expression, rubbing his face hard with his dusty right hand.
He made many guesses about the ownership of this fleet and the origins of these outsiders.
He compared and guessed all the gathering places with tens of millions of people, such as the Black Island Alliance, the Mechanical Kingdom... He compared and guessed one by one.
He secretly speculated in his heart about the Dragon Flag, the Golden Eagle, the Northern Alliance, and the three royal families with hundreds of millions of people, but he was not sure.
However, among all his guesses, the only one he did not dare to imagine was Tianyuan.
The mysterious territory established by the human Su Shen has always been like a layer of fog shrouding everyone's heart.
It is so mysterious that the name of Tianyuan is often mentioned in the world channel, but there are few news about it.
It is just like their Black Island Alliance, which restricts the ability of ordinary people to communicate with the outside world, resulting in no information being able to flow out.
So much so that happiness came a little too suddenly, and now he still can't believe that all this really happened.
"Yes, we are from Tianyuan, and Su Mo is our lord."
Mala Iron Hammer smiled apologetically: "I think Lord Sun can understand our difficulties now. Sometimes it is not that we deliberately hide our identities, but it will indeed cause a lot of unnecessary trouble after being exposed."
"Understand, how can I not understand?"
Sun Guangmin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just looking at the fanatical crowd on the dock now, you can know the influence of Tianyuan.
It can be said that if Mala Iron Hammer came here with the sign of Tianyuan, there would be no extra nonsense, and he could directly package and incorporate the entire Mining Island Alliance on the spot.
No matter Enkobat, Hua Qingyun, or even the unruly Wu Jiahao, none of them would say no.
Of course, the result is obvious.
A group of survivors with questionable quality joined Su Shen's territory so easily, just like burying a hidden mine.
Although there will be no impact at present, there will always be a day when it will explode.
Sun Guangmin silently calculated in his heart that the current result seems to be the best result. Those who stay do not need to be cleaned up again.
Moreover, after more than half a year of development, the Mining Island Alliance has a relatively mature mining system.
The only difficulty is how to transport and sell the mined ore in a reasonable and efficient way, and then invest the proceeds from the sale into the development of the alliance to form a cycle.
Now it's good, after being incorporated into the human Su Shen, all problems will be solved.
The Mining Island Alliance no longer has to worry about its own development, and it is much better than expected before.
And he, the only surviving manager in the alliance...
"There has never been such a wonderful start!"
Sun Guangmin, who finally came to his senses, was so excited that he couldn't help himself, but this was not the time for him to vent. The crowd at the dock below was obviously out of control.
"Don't worry, I'll go and maintain order!"
Rolling up his sleeves and pulling out the pistol from his waist, Sun Guangmin threw away his usual elegance and rushed into the crowd with a shout.
Mala Tiechui looked at the receding figure in astonishment, feeling full of strangeness.
But after turning his head and looking at the doomsday madman, the two of them laughed at each other.
Perhaps, this is why the Tianyuan Territory named the first gathering place "Hope".
...
It took nearly an hour to evacuate the crowd that surrounded them.
After being excited, the survivors on the dock were very cooperative, and they left immediately after hearing the order.
However, it was the departure of these people that led to the fact that even in the evening, there were still survivors rushing to the six islands by boat, all of whom were howling and wanted to see the honor of the human Su God.
Of course, the members of the escort team could not violently drive these people back. They could only explain over and over again that Su Shen would meet with everyone one by one in the next few days, and the Mining Island Alliance would soon be included in Tianyuan's sphere of influence after Sun Guangmin and Su Shen negotiated.
Wait, you said negotiation?
A group of survivors were very dissatisfied with this, and even a large-scale riot broke out in protest.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the shore and shouted. In their opinion, being able to join Tianyuan was a dream, so why negotiate?
The protest was so loud that it could be heard clearly even in the conference room nearly two kilometers away.
"So, what do we need to negotiate?"
Sun Guangmin raised his head from time to time, his face flushed, and he was numb when he heard the protest outside.
Good guy, you are protesting, I want to protest too!
While they maintained order and evacuated the crowd, Su Mo left behind the instructions to meet in the evening to negotiate the inclusion of the Mining Island Alliance into Tianyuan, and directly took people to those large and small mining islands on a guerrilla boat to inspect the situation.
This also led to a group of people staying in this conference room, silently enduring the "artillery" bombardment from the outside world.
Lin Jiafeng, who was in charge of sorting out the production materials, even speculated that if the alliance could not be merged into Tianyuan tonight, the angry 100,000 miners might flatten Tiantie Island.
At this moment, a burst of dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the door of the conference room.
A few seconds later, Hu Shulin's deep voice sounded outside: "Lord Su, please come this way!"
Finally here!
More than a dozen people who were sorting out the materials in the room suddenly got a start, and all stood up and looked up at the half-open door.
It's not nervous, but more of an expectation.
After all, whether it was what the survivors saw in the live broadcast or learned through various channels, this human Su Shen had long been a legend among the survivors.
The door opened, and Hu Shulin walked in first, with a respectful look on his face.
Then a figure appeared in everyone's sight, and the familiar face made everyone breathless.
Although he was a little too young, his calm temperament seemed to make the whole world focus on him.
"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Su Mo nodded gently, walked into the meeting room slowly, and locked his eyes on Sun Guangmin.
"This should be Lord Sun, right?"
"It's me, Lord Su, hello..." Sun Guangmin said nervously, but his overall performance was not humble or arrogant.
Su Mo gave him a look of approval, and simply took the lead and arranged: "Find a place to sit, don't be nervous."
After an afternoon of inspection, Su Mo had a general understanding of the situation of the Mining Island Alliance.
It is no exaggeration to say that the mineral reserves here have reached an incredible level. Just the basic minerals that can be mined on the ground are enough to renovate the entire Qinggang City five times.
And if you add those that can be detected underground at the first time, let alone five times, ten times are enough.
This is outrageous.
From all the information collected from the future ruins, Su Mo had never seen any record of where there were such mineral reserves.
Could it be that in order to save trouble, the game also increased the number of minerals in proportion when expanding the area of the new continent?
"Let's talk about the first thing first."
After everyone was seated, Su Mo did not hesitate and continued to speak in a gentle tone.
"After tonight, the Mining Island Alliance will be officially incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Tianyuan Territory. Is that okay?"
Sun Guangmin was stunned for a moment, then nodded decisively and immediately stood up to respond.
"No problem at all, Lord Su, you must not know how long we have been waiting for this day. Not only me, but everyone is willing to unconditionally cooperate with any plan of the Tianyuan Territory. In fact, if I dare to say no now, the group of people outside will definitely rush in and tear me apart immediately!"
"Haha, I believe that."
Su Mo smiled and nodded. Before returning, he deliberately wandered around the dock, where there were protesting crowds everywhere.
Now that a consensus has been reached, it is believed that not only Sun Guangmin, but everyone else present can also breathe a sigh of relief.
"Then, the second thing."
"The fleet you see now is the advance fleet we sent to the southern fire region. The main purpose is to explore the current situation in the southern fire region. The construction location of Tianyuan territory is in the central plate, which is at least nearly 10,000 kilometers away from here, so it is definitely impossible to help the mining island develop rapidly in a short period of time, which means that you still need to work hard on your own."
The time for water freight is about one month. When the shipyard repeats the cargo ship structure twice, the cargo ship is faster and familiar with the route, it will be reduced by three to five days at most.
This is the limitation of water transportation, which is destined to be unable to balance speed and efficiency.
As for the more efficient air transportation, it is indeed difficult to achieve at the current development speed of Tianyuan. Without special opportunities, it will be difficult to popularize air transportation even in the next few years.
This means that although the mining island has joined Tianyuan, it cannot enjoy too many development dividends.
At most, it has a trading partner that can eat up all the mineral mining volume.
Sun Guangmin thought about it in a daze, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said uncertainly.
"So what you mean is... the mining island can have a certain degree of autonomy?"
"Of course, the mining island has a high degree of autonomy. Whether it is the direction of development or external expansion, Tianyuan will not impose too many restrictions, and will try to provide support in terms of resources." Su Mo glanced at Hu Shulin, then turned to look at Sun Guangmin and continued:
"In fact, before coming here, I planned to appoint someone in the territory to manage the mining island. This would be more reassuring and less likely to cause unexpected situations.
But in the afternoon, when Captain Hu took me to visit the surrounding mining islands, I learned a lot from him. For the mining island, you are indeed a suitable manager, so I am willing to give you a chance to prove yourself, continue to serve as the manager of the mining island, and be responsible for the development plan of Tianyuan Territory in the southern fire area in the future."
"Me?"
Sun Guangmin stood up stupidly, pointed at himself, and opened his mouth in astonishment.
...
