Chapter 1454: First Meeting, Desperate Salvador!

"Before this place... was this what we see now?"

Musk tilted his head and asked Guo Bulao.

If what he saw in front of him was what he saw yesterday, he would have spent a whole night going through all the information on the Boulder Territory.

"I don't know. I didn't come here yesterday. I just communicated with them outside the pier."

Guo Bulo lowered his voice and shook his head secretly.

The technical difficulty of this neat stone masonry is not high, but the difficulty is such a huge amount of work.

A rough calculation shows that the road to the village is at least nearly two kilometers, which cannot be built by a territory of several thousand people.

What's more, according to the original version of the information, there were only a few hundred people in the Boulder Territory, so it would be impossible to build these stone masonry.

"You find an excuse to stay for a while, and I will take a closer look at these stone masonry." After Musk finished explaining, he coughed to himself and retreated to the back of the team.

Such is his character, he always follows his heart and does whatever he thinks of immediately.

This also gives him strong execution ability and can accomplish things that ordinary people cannot accomplish.

"Mr. Luo, you must have spent a lot of effort building this place, right?" Guo Bulo lowered his body and touched the corners of the steps.

It is hard to imagine that the edges and corners of this step have been processed, making it feel extremely smooth and smooth to the touch.

"It took a lot of effort. The road up the mountain was very narrow at the beginning. In some places, only three or five people could pass."

"Then how did you accomplish all this?" Guo Bulao asked in surprise.

However, Luo You did not answer his question. He smiled and said nothing, looking unfathomable.

"Okay, let's change the question. You have such great infrastructure capabilities, why don't you find a better place to build your territory?"

"A better place?" Luo You was still smiling, "Mr. Guo Buloh, why don't you say it bluntly? To measure the quality of a territory, it depends on whether it has expanded a lot of farmland."

"Well, Mr. Luo, that's not what I meant."

Guo Bulo was a little embarrassed and shook his head quickly.

Some things are unspoken rules, and it would be impolite to mention them on the table.

The reason why the Golden Eagle supports these large and small territories outside is to exploit labor in the future and exchange food with several times the value of cheap small industrial products to achieve the purpose of exploitation.

In addition, can we expect these small territories to make any technological breakthroughs?

The only value is farming. If you can't farm, it's no different than seeking death.

This is also understood by the survivors and lords who joined the aid territory.

However, the survivors were just trying to accumulate enough points to enter the territory of the Golden Eagle, and naturally they did not care about the future development of the territory they were currently in.

The lords basically just mess around and don't care how much benefit the territory can provide them with when it develops.

They are just pawns supported by the federal territory and used in the struggle. If they dare to have their own ideas, it would not be surprising to change the lord the next day.

The sun still rises, and the territory can still operate healthily.

But this boulder territory is completely different. Guo Bulao saw traces of ‘self-development’ here.

It sounds strange, but staying awake in an environment where everyone is like this is definitely not as simple as imagined.

"What I mean is... if you move to a better place, your income can be diversified, so that if they want to sanction you in foreign trade, it will not be as simple as it is now."

"It seems that Mr. Guo Bulo has an in-depth understanding of our Boulder territory?"

Luo You sighed, "But have you ever thought about one thing, why are there foreign trade sanctions?"

Most of the guards who came with Tesla Territory were Westerners and could not understand Chinese communication.

Of course, even if they understand Chinese, they will not understand the insinuations in Chinese words.

The fundamental reason why Jushi Territory was sanctioned by foreign trade was that the pharmaceutical business was too profitable.

They are jealous and hot-tempered, so they organize together to launch sanctions together.

So what if the Boulder Territory had farmland at this time, they could still find excuses to impose sanctions.

He even... moved out of the federal territory behind him and used his power to force the stone to hand over its production method.

"Forehead..."

Guo Bulo was speechless again. He looked at the man in front of him.

Although his legs are a little lame, his speech is really sharp, completely unlike those idiots in Tyrell's territory.

Fortunately, Musk finally got the result he wanted and rushed over from behind.

Guo Bulao raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his head, quickly found a topic to change, and the group continued to walk along the steps towards the cottage.

"Something's not right. The raw materials of these stone masonry are not the same as those of stone mountains. The hardness is much higher than that of ordinary stones, and..." Musk's eyes were full of doubts. "It doesn't feel like it was built by man, but like It’s formed naturally.”

"Natural formation? How is this possible?"

"Of course I know it's impossible, so I'm surprised, did you ask how they built these stone masonry?" Musk looked like an idiot.

Artificial construction will always leave traces, even if there are only a few traces, there are traces to follow.

But at this time, he could not find any trace of artificial excavation on the stone steps under his feet.

This is not in line with the construction principle of stone masonry, unless the material of the steps under the feet is not stone.

"We didn't ask. They were still wary of us."

Guo Bulo hinted: "Perhaps they think we are bandits invited by Tyrell's territory and want to seize the technology that lowers the cost of drug manufacturing."

"Oh, hell..."

The lingering ghost of Tyrell's territory made Musk raise his head and cover his forehead.

Luo You noticed these actions with his peripheral vision, his face was calm, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.

All the way to the village, Guo Bulo and Musk didn't speak again, appearing quite silent.

It wasn't until they saw the ordinary wooden village gates and defense facilities that the two of them regained some energy.

It finally looks a bit normal here, and I have seen quite a few of them in other territories.

The most important thing is that the amount of work to build the village gate and defense facilities is not large, and it is completely within the scope of understanding.

"We have built three villages, namely: Tianzhai, Dizhai, and Human Village. However, due to population constraints, the two villages at the back are not yet open. Only Tianzhai is in operation."

"Everyone, please come inside!"

Having said that, Luo You still ordered someone to bring out the official meeting document.

There are two copies, and when they are combined with the one in Guo Bulao's hand, the visit formalities are completed.

"The air here...is very comfortable."

The ventilation conditions in the mountains are much better than in the plains at the foot of the mountains, and the body temperature is also slightly lower.

Entering the village gate, it was breakfast time, and a strong smell of fireworks drifted over in the wind.

Musk took a deep sniff, and suddenly felt tired and refreshed.

He raised his head and, together with Guo Bulao, looked at the entire village built on the mountain in the unusually soft light of the morning sun.

It really is a paradise!

The village is cleverly built on this rocky mountain, almost blending in with the surrounding environment.

The sun shines through the gauze-like mist and shines on the well-proportioned stone houses. Every brick and tile seems to be coated with a thin layer of golden light, shining with a quiet and peaceful brilliance.

There are many residents coming and going in the village, most of them with warm smiles and greetings to each other one after another, permeating a simple and sincere atmosphere of life.

Guo Bulao subconsciously thought that this was a deliberate gesture by the Boulder Territory to welcome them.

But soon he realized his prejudice, and he could never pretend to be such a harmonious person.

This is a kind of harmony that makes people feel anxious and calm down involuntarily.

"I think it's time to change the target of support. This place is obviously much better than Tyrell's territory!"

Musk muttered, raising his hand to touch his nose.

It was obvious that he had just finished eating, but when he smelled the smell wafting in the air, he felt a little bit greedy again.

This alone is enough to prove that the living standards of the villagers in this boulder territory should be good, and they are far from being on the verge of running out of food as predicted by those outside the territory.

The stone house on one side near the village gate.

Seeing someone coming, Lao Zhang looked inquiringly. When Somo nodded, the group walked out.

Although many version functions have been released in the current game, due to the upcoming war between humans and aliens, the translation function has not been restored online.

Not understanding English, Lao Zhang could only say a few simple words about the situation, and then made an excuse to leave.

Sumo stayed aside, sizing up this legendary gentleman who was famous both in modern times and in the wasteland.

If you purely judge people by their appearance, this legendary gentleman does not have much to praise.

Slightly bloated figure, shiny face, and somewhat bald forehead.

Even his eyes looked blurry, like an Internet cafe master who had stayed up all night without a good night's sleep for several days.

But when the two people's eyes met inexplicably, a strong feeling of being spied on came to Somo's heart.

His eyes are very aggressive, and when he looks at people, he looks like he is looking at goods, repeatedly weighing the value.

In just three seconds, Sumo could clearly feel himself being looked at from head to toe by Musk for seven or eight times.

"Who is this gentleman?" Musk tilted his head and looked at Luo You.

"He is the technical consultant of our Boulder Territory, Mr. Ji." Luo You said, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Ginger is still spicy.

When he first met Soma, he didn't notice anything unusual about Soma.

But Musk's eyes were venomous, and he immediately spotted Sumo's very different temperament in the crowd.

Of course, it may also be related to the different environments everyone is in at the moment.

The temperament of Somo was much more outstanding than that of ordinary people, and it was impossible to fake that sense of indifference.

"Technical consultant?" Musk became interested, "I like to communicate with people who do technology!"

After he finished speaking, he simply walked over, as sincere as ever.

"Hello, Mr. Ji, uh... you know English, right?"

"Of course." Sumo nodded lightly.

There was a smile on Musk's face. After organizing his speech, he quickly said: "I discovered on the way up the mountain that your stone masonry workmanship is very good and very natural. Is there any unique technology in it? "

"Yes, Mr. Ma, you guessed it right."

...

More than 20 kilometers away from the boulder territory.

Tyrael territory.

Two figures hurried through the narrow path, running in a hurry and panic towards the center of the territory.

Compared to the clean and tidy Monolith Territory, Tyrell is like a corner forgotten in the end of the world, with a depressing and dilapidated atmosphere everywhere.

Before the construction, this place was a material transfer station set up by the Golden Giant Eagle.

Therefore, the streets between the buildings are narrow and tortuous, and the buildings on both sides also look a bit shabby. Some walls have collapsed due to rush work, and some roofs have collapsed, revealing black holes.

The roads, walls, and even the air are full of dirt and garbage left by humans.

Walking into the territory, food residues can be seen everywhere, some of which have rotted and stank, and some are blown around by the wind.

It is worth mentioning that the toilet conditions here are not bad, with a public toilet every 500 meters.

But unfortunately, the people living in Tyrell's territory obviously have their own ideas.

They don't like to crowd into narrow public toilets to solve the problem, but are used to using small basins at home to solve the problem, and then dump the excrement into a simple drainage ditch with a depth of no more than 50 cm.

This caused a foul smell to float in the air all the time, and most people would not even be able to open their eyes when they came in.

However, the residents inside seemed to be accustomed to this dirty and messy environment. They shuttled between the garbage and dirt with expressionless faces, as if everything was so natural and normal.

Even the two figures passing by did not attract any attention.

"Mr. Salvador, it's not good..." The two figures passed through a layer of buildings and finally came to a courtyard that was obviously cleaner, pushed open the door and broke in.

"The people of Tesla Territory are already in contact with the Boulder Territory. The spies we sent out found that Mr. Musk was also there!"

"What!?" Salvador stood up and paced back and forth in the hall anxiously.

The worst happened.

"Where are the people of Julang Territory? Didn't they promise us that Musk would not find out about this matter? Even if they found out, they would be able to solve it. Where are they now?"

"No... I couldn't contact them." Another figure raised his head and spoke, with hot sweat pouring down his forehead.

Salvadore was very bold in reselling the materials aided by the federal territory.

And the reason why he dared to make this decision.

First, the aid provided by Tesla Territory was not profitable in the short term, but might make profits in the medium and long term, or might even lose money.

Second, the aiding territory behind Giant Wave Territory was Golden Eagle Territory, the largest federal territory of Golden Giant Eagle.

The combination of the two gave Salvadore the courage to say one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.

"What should we do now? We can't just watch them cooperate, right?"

"Without the materials aided by Tesla Territory... No, if they kick our Territory of Tyrell out of the aid list, it will be all over."

...
