Chapter 1446: Obstacles in Grain Collection, Divine Power Fluctuation Detector!

September 10th, Year 2 of Wasteland Calendar.

Cloudy.

The New World, which is about to enter autumn, has more rain. It will rain briefly every few days. Although it brings a little coolness to soothe fatigue, it also makes the major territories tense all the time and dare not slack off.

At this juncture, everyone is afraid that all efforts will fail.

In order to prevent the rain situation from expanding, causing immeasurable losses to crops that are about to mature, and thus affecting the harvest of the year.

Even if it is just a sporadic rain, the territory managers will frequently organize disaster relief work.

Everyone doesn't have to do anything, just stay in the wooden house next to the field, waiting for the rain to fall and wait for the rain to stop.

It's boring, but people dare not relax at all.

Looking down from a high altitude.

Large tracts of fields have been reclaimed by hardworking humans, and most of them are wheat with strong cold resistance.

Under the nourishment of rain, these wheat seedlings grow particularly luxuriantly. Now they are golden yellow, like golden carpets spread on the ground, which is very beautiful.

In addition, after experiencing the frost disaster, corn has also been favored by most survivors.

This crop, which has strong resistance to harsh environments and does not require too much soil fertility, is most suitable for wasteland environments.

Even though most territories planted it a little later due to seeds, the fields have reached a certain scale at this time.

Many plants are tall and straight, with broad and thick leaves, and the corn cobs hanging on them are gradually full.

It is foreseeable that after the autumn harvest, humans will open a new chapter in the wasteland!

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The door of the external checkpoint of the Golden Giant Eagle Territory was opened on time, and ships carrying supplies rowed out.

Mainly in short supply industrial products, from time to time, after a corner was lifted by the wind, brand new machines wrapped in tarpaulins could be seen.

The guards at the checkpoint would check the ships from time to time to check the delivery orders and the quantity of goods.

But in fact, most of them are just pretending to go through the basic process, and there is no detailed inspection at all.

The few that were stopped were either because the two federal territories did not get along with each other, and each arranged people to disgust the other.

Or there was friction between the territories that helped from outside, and they used this method to confront each other.

At the moment when the checkpoint was just opened, six or seven ships almost collided with each other, and the people guarding the ships immediately stood on the bow and cursed at each other.

"What happened in front? Will there be trouble again?"

Still stuck in a large ship on the way out of the customs, Musk raised his head a little tiredly and looked around.

In the past, when natural disasters were frequent and threats were rampant, the relationship between the federal territories was still harmonious.

But with the arrival of the dead tide, the situation gradually stabilized, and some unnecessary disputes inevitably broke 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.

Often, disputes will become a mess.

In order to avoid the escalation of the situation, the federal territories have secretly reached a rule.

If there is anything, use the territories you support outside to speak, and don't fight inside.

However, the scales of the territories supported outside are different, so how can you have a fair fight?

Such a confused approach has made the dispute more chaotic, and even some territories that did not intend to participate in the war have been affected.

"It seems so, I'll go out and take a look."

Guo Buluo frowned and walked out, and soon brought back news.

It was the Golden Eagle Territory, the largest federal territory of the Golden Giant Eagle, the Giant Wave Territory supported by the federal lord Frutos, and the Mountain Eagle Territory supported by the second largest Golden Horse Federation.

The Golden Eagle believes that there are some important machines in the support materials brought out by the Golden Horse that are explicitly stipulated not to be leaked.

Once such machines are allowed to drift outside, it is easy for the entire federation to lose its technological leadership and the industrial products produced will have no market.

The Golden Horse fought back, believing that Jin Ying had already shared some important technologies with the Giant Wave Territory.

They are only providing finished products now, and the materials produced will be recycled, so how could there be such a consequence.

Besides.

Important machinery that cannot be leaked is the rule of the Golden Eagle Territory itself, not the rule of the Golden Giant Eagle Federation Territory.

What do you care about me?

The two territories, you don't let me, I don't let you, and no one can get away if the entire river is blocked.

This scene is very rare.

In the past, the lower-ranked federal territories would use this method to disgust each other in competition.

Now that it has evolved to the first and second, people can't help but have some other ideas.

"Shit... It seems that the competition among these guys is getting more and more intense. I wonder how many of the thirty-six federal territories will be left in a month or two..."

Musk shrugged, feeling helpless about this situation.

When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left.

His territory is one of the few territories that do not participate in the competition, but sooner or later this trend will spread.

It's just that the 'Tyrell Territory' supported by Tesla Territory is nothing compared to Giant Wave and Mountain Eagle.

If we really talk about external support for the territory, I'm afraid we won't be able to compete for even a tiny share.

Not long after.

Just as the people behind got impatient, they joined the battle and pointed at the two territories' escorting boats and cursed.

The person in charge of the Golden Eagle and Golden Horse snorted coldly and reluctantly ordered his men to sail away.

Their goal had 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.

"Come on, don't delay any more."

Seeing that the dark clouds brewing on the horizon 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 though 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 prohibitive.

In contrast, the New World's solar energy resources are extremely rich, 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 makes it possible for even the smallest federal territories to build semi-automated battery flow factories to convert sunlight into electricity for daily use.

But although battery production 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 goes down than stay up late with the lights on.

The four ships with the Tesla logo left the level, adjusted their direction, and headed towards Tyrell's territory.

They are all big ships with deep drafts, which shows that the things on board are heavy.

Occasionally, the river wind lifts the tarpaulin. If there is anyone who knows the goods, he will definitely find that the ‘T-1’ battery production process module newly developed by Tesla territory 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.

If placed in the Golden Eagle territory, it would definitely be considered contraband. This is why Musk would personally bring someone 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's height 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 Buloh 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 device is ‘Divine Power Wave Detector’, which sounds a bit anti-scientific, but its principle is that it can form its own set of explainable logic.

After research, it was found that 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 ruins of the future, 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.

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.

drop...

drop...

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 serious.

The detector has a maximum detection range of sixty kilometers and is able to detect wave reactions by sending and receiving signals.

If it was operating normally, you should be able to hear the signals coming from the special items inside the golden eagle, instead of being completely unresponsive like now.

But just after he finished speaking, the even beeping sound changed.

Drip, drip, drip...

The beeping became more rapid and began to sound regularly.

After listening to it 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 power 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.

This requires the detector to capture this information in the mixed signals at the first time 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 fluctuations will indeed attenuate based on distance."

After about half a minute, the signal received by the detector slowly disappeared.

The current detection object is a spear that will send out a wave signal on time at eight o'clock every day.

If it is a close-range detection, the signal will last for nearly ten minutes before disappearing.

But this time it only lasted for seven minutes, which means that the increase in distance will indeed affect the wave residence time.

Beep, beep, beep...

Guo Buluo did not take off his headphones, and immediately another urgent sound rang out.

This is a special item hidden in the Golden Eagle territory, which will send out waves regularly at eight ten.

Compared with the spear in Tesla's territory, the reaction of this special item is much stronger, forcing him to slightly lower the volume of the headphones to make it less harsh.

"The effect is very good. It seems that we will be able to set off soon and go to other places in the southern plate to explore and find some good things!"

Musk was a little excited.

Since he got the route, he often got so excited that he couldn't sleep, and was obsessed with studying the source of this power.

He knew that as long as he could analyze it, it would almost allow humans to gain the strength comparable to that of alien gods.

"Yes, the detector is already complete. We just need to adjust the accuracy and it will be put into mass production immediately!"

Guobuluo was also very excited, but he still did not take off his headphones and was still listening to the reaction.

He is a very careful and dedicated person, which is why he can find that special items will produce fluctuations at regular intervals.

The fluctuations of each item are different and fleeting.

You need to listen patiently to find the differences and mark them, so that you can follow up and study the secrets of this special power.

The time of concentration always passes quickly.

We have arrived at Tyrell's territory.

A noisy voice came from the dock, as if someone was arguing, and the sound was so loud that it completely suppressed the echo in the headphones.

Annoyed Musk and Guobuluo could only take off their headphones and look at the dock with anger.

It was two groups of people arguing.

"We have agreed to trade at this price three days in advance. You suddenly changed the price today. This is not in line with the agreement we reached, right?"

The man on the left had a loud voice and was holding a cloth bag in his hand, which should be the transaction item.

"The price changes every day. We only booked the quantity three days ago, but didn't tell you the price, right?"

The man who responded to him was not to be outdone, and his voice was equally overwhelming.

"Why didn't you tell us? We not only agreed on the quantity with Manager Liu, but also specifically said that the price would be 90% of the market price."

"Manager Liu talked to you? Then why don't you go find Manager Liu?"

"Fuck, you are playing rogue, right? The price we gave you is already so low, and you still want to lower the price, even to half of the market price. I would rather feed this thing to dogs than trade it to you."

"Haha, whatever, anyway, we are not the ones who are short of food, you can sell it to whoever you want."

The two groups quarreled for a few words and left unhappily.

Musk didn't understand what they were arguing about, but Guobuluo did, and called the captain of the escort ship over to ask a few questions.

Just listening to the conversation between the two, the behavior of the Tyrell Territory seemed not very glorious.

The captain of the ship went ashore and quickly asked about the general situation.

"It was a deal. Tyrell Territory traded with the surrounding Stone Territory, exchanging food for medicine, but the price seemed to be a problem, so the deal failed."

"Exchange for medicine?" Musk frowned and asked. He was somewhat familiar with the name of the Stone Territory, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Didn't we provide them with a lot of medicine? Why do they need to buy from the outside world?"

"The medicine in the Stone Territory is cheaper and more effective. I asked about the price, and it's nearly half cheaper than what we sell in our territory."

"Half cheaper?" Musk was surprised.

"Then why didn't the deal happen?"

"It should be that the Stone Territory is short of food. I don't know what they were thinking. They built the territory on a stone mountain and didn't cultivate the land. They could only trade food with the outside world. The people in Tyrell Territory saw this and wanted to bargain at the last minute."

A territory built on a stone mountain?

Musk suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen the information about the Stone Territory at the previous assistance meeting.

Hey, did that information say that the Stone Territory could make medicine?

...
