Chapter 155 Mining Area
All six people looked at the middle-aged man with a serious look on their faces.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. It was obvious that the group of people now are essentially different from the refugees they encountered on the road. They were very united. If the robbery plan was implemented, no one could predict the consequences.
The middle-aged man stared in the direction of the hover car. Around the hover car, there were more than a dozen men watching, and they looked around with vigilant eyes. These were all people arranged by Jisang.
There was a person sitting in the bonfire near the direction of the hover car. This person was Lin Yuntian, a master of level 4 mental power.
After a long silence, the middle-aged man finally spoke.
"Wait first."
Inexplicably, everyone's mood relaxed. The fat man gave them a huge mental pressure. They all witnessed the immense momentum of the fat man killing the colorful shell insects. The overwhelming murderous aura made them feel scared now. Even though they had been dancing on the tip of the knife for a long time, they felt the extremely sharp murderous intent.
Moreover, the level 4 mental master is not a good character to mess with. For them, a mental master is more terrifying than a martial arts master. In the human world, a master who can reach level 4 mental power is like a crossing the river. In fact, this is just an illusion. Calculated from the total number of nearly 100 billion humans, level 4 mental masters are already very rare...
"Will we follow them?" Watie asked.
"Their target is also the capital, and following them may be a way."
...
Zou Zichuan, who was entering an ethereal state in the cab, had no idea that the surviving humans of the entire Riddle planet are heading towards the capital of the Riddle Empire, because when the peripheral signals of Skynet were not destroyed by the colorful shellworms, Skynet had issued an order to let all humans arrive at the Riddle capital to gather.
Even after Skynet's network was destroyed, this news still spread among humans.
Among the surviving humans, there is a rumor that the only place in the entire planet Riddle can leave now is in the capital. In fact, this rumor has a certain basis, because the consciousness at the beginning of Skynet said so.
On the planet Riddle, the number of surviving humans is very large. People use various means to head towards the planet Riddle. During the journey, countless humans gathered in teams of all sizes. It seems that only when humans gather together can they find a sense of security...
After the outbreak of the insect scourge, the seven musketeers trapped on the planet Riddle robbed countless people, and in their luggage were all priceless rare metals.
The Seven Swordsmen now disdained ordinary property at all. They didn't take it seriously even if it was gold, jewelry and other things. They wanted rare metals.
In the great era of the outbreak of cosmic technology, countless large amounts of metals were discovered in the universe, and more and more rare metals and unknown metals were discovered. Many metals are still an unsolved mystery to humans, and the value of these metals is even more terrifying.
Someone once discovered an ore. There is a memory metal in it. This memory metal is different from the memory metal used by humans. The powerful compounding ability of this memory metal almost exceeds the growth rate of any animal and plant. If the armor made of this memory metal cannot penetrate at one time, it is almost impossible to destroy the objects inside, because this metal can automatically repair the damaged area in just a few seconds. Unfortunately, this metal has discovered this piece from beginning to end. A shield made of this piece of metal was purchased by a wealthy man with a hidden identity as a collection. For hundreds of years, this shield that can be automatically repaired quickly has never appeared in people's sight again...
Memory metal is not the most precious metal. There is also an energy metal. It only has a larger size in its fingers. The energy released is greater than the energy generated by an advanced nuclear reactor. Moreover, it is very stable. As long as the most ordinary excitation device is used, this metal can release energy. Such a small piece of metal can provide a space mothership with energy for nearly a thousand years, which shows the degree of cherishing this metal.
Through thousands of years of development, energy is actually no longer a scarce material. Now, humans’ requirements for energy have become environmentally friendly, efficient and lasting, and the level of environmentally friendly and efficient technology has basically been achieved. However, the durability of energy has always been an unsolvable scientific research problem.
The most durable energy that humans have mastered now are nuclear energy and antimatter energy. These two energy sources are the safest and lasting energy technology so far. However, whether it is nuclear energy or antimatter energy, the two energy manufacturing platforms need very large places. Antimatter energy, which is more advanced than nuclear energy, is the cleanest and lasting energy supply system. However, this kind of equipment occupies a very large place. For example, a space ship uses an antimatter engine, and this engine requires thousands of cubic meters of space, which is why some spacecraft are getting bigger and bigger.
Theoretically, antimatter can also be used as a weapon, such as antimatter cannons. However, the actual situation is that this weapon is quite expensive, and its indiscriminate devastating blow is unbearable to both the enemy and us. At present, this weapon is only a development trend and cannot form practical combat capabilities.
In fact, hundreds of years ago, humans invented nuclear batteries, which are mainly provided for mechas and suspension vehicles. However, if this small nuclear battery is damaged, it is easy to explode strongly due to loss of its stability. The consequences of the explosion will not only damage the enemy, but also cause a catastrophe to itself.
With the gradual development of human civilization, a stable and clean energy comb has replaced nuclear energy batteries. Although the durability of the energy comb cannot be compared with nuclear energy batteries at all, its better stability has been favored by humans. Now, except for some large heavy industrial bases that use some small nuclear energy, most of the energy usage is replaced by energy combs...
Of course, in addition to the metals that contain energy, there are many wonderful stones in nature that directly contain huge and stable energy. They are like a giant nuclear energy factory compressed to the size of a fist, and some are even similar to a tear. The energy contained in these strange stones is incredible.
Someone once found an ore called "Tear Stone". This ore is shaped like a teardrop. It is incredible that a stone like this can provide a city with a population of millions for one hundred and fifty years of energy...
...
The main purpose of the Seven Swordsmen is to collect these rare metal box ores. These things are the real wealth. There are only two ways to collect these things. The first is to search in the vast universe. However, the possibility of finding the metals and ores in the purposeless search is very low. Most of these things are hard to come by, and the risks are very high. Except for those adventure groups, it is not suitable for bandits like the Seven Swordsmen who make a living by robbing.
Another way is to search in the human world, and then snatch it directly after finding it.
In the world of hundreds of billions of humans, countless good things are hidden among these people. It is very likely that a family living in a slum is descended from a very famous adventure group leader hundreds of years ago. Generally, there are more or less valuable things in this kind of family.
In addition to some descendants of the adventure group, there is another type of person who is the target of the seven swordsmen's robbery, that is, some ruined ancient families on the ancient earth. These families have a long history, and even the hidden treasures are not comparable to ordinary big families. The so-called lean camels are bigger than horses. This is the truth.
In the universe, there are countless clubs and associations, such as the Mecha Club, which is one of them, as well as the Metal Club, Energy Stone Club, Pet Club, etc.
There are some strange people and things in every club. Some people collect their favorite things throughout their lives, even if they are poor, they are willing to do so. Once, the Seven Swordsmen robbed a strange pet he didn't know and sold it. In a club, they actually saw a person who actually used Tyrannosaurus Rex as a pet. It goes without saying that the danger of raising a Tyrannosaurus Rex is unimaginable, even the cost is unimaginable.
When selling a calligraphy work on ancient Earth, Seven Swordsmen once saw a middle-aged man dressed in a rags and bought a fake...
After the golden sunlight rose in the morning, the bonfire was still burning very vigorously. They slept well that night, and the people on duty also took turns on duty. When they woke up in the morning, they were full of energy.
In the morning, Zou Zichuan had already determined a route through a holographic map, and the detour was about 30 kilometers.
Although this canyon is not deep, it is very steep, and there are rivers below the canyon. If Zou Zichuan had gone in the past, it would be no problem, but it is obviously impossible to take away hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people to cross the canyon.
There is a bridge with a history of hundreds of years thirty kilometers downstream. The steel and concrete bridge was built by the first emperor of the Redell Empire six hundred years ago. It was a very important transportation mouthpiece at that time. Later, with the popularization of suspended vehicles and the need for environmental protection, the roads around the bridge were abandoned, and the bridge was preserved as a witness of history...
Time passed slowly, and Zou Zichuan could not have imagined that they had been away from the capital of the Redel Empire for half a month.
The journey is getting harder and harder, and you will often encounter harassment from colorful shellworms, and every battle will cause a large number of casualties.
Zou Zichuan had killed no less than ten colorful shell insects. Even the Seven Swordsmen and Lin Yuntian and others also cooperated to kill several colorful shell insects. People became more and more skillful in resisting the hunting of colorful shell insects.
However, although people are constantly being killed by colorful shell insects, the population has not only not decreased, but has increased exponentially. Now the number of people has reached more than 3,000.
Food and medicines are becoming increasingly nervous.
The conflict also began to arouse. At the beginning, the people who followed Zou Zichuan naturally refused to share their things with the people behind, which led to many fights.
Faced with the increasingly deteriorating internal environment, even Zou Zichuan is willing but not capable. When facing hunger, people will become crazy. Fortunately, people are self-control, and anyone knows the fact that no one can live a destination without unity.
The only way is to keep looking for food. Sometimes, in order to get close to a city, you have to take a detour for dozens of kilometers. There are basically colorful shell bugs wandering around the city. Every action requires avoiding the sniping of colorful shell bugs, which is also the main reason for the slow speed.
On the 20th day, there is still forty kilometers in a straight line distance from the Reeder Empire.
Forty kilometers is a very short distance, but now, forty kilometers is a distance that can make countless lives disappear.
Because forty kilometers are likely to be one hundred kilometers, and the holographic maps are marked with straight-line distances. In fact, this straight-line distance will encounter countless mountains, rivers and canyons, and there will be gathering places for colorful shell insects. In order to avoid these obstacles, it is necessary to take a long way to go.
In fact, the holographic map from Meilan Town to the Redel Empire is 150 kilometers, but in fact, Zou Zichuan has walked 250 kilometers so far. Now, they are still 40 kilometers away from the capital, which means that the road they are taking is more than twice as far away than the standard distance on the holographic map.
The hover car was abandoned as early as the eighteenth day. Not only the energy comb has been consumed, but the engine has basically been scrapped. There is no possibility of repair. When the hover car was abandoned, every member of the Great Universe Tornado band had a sad expression on his face.
Now, a huge team of more than 3,000 people is camping in a swamp area of tens of thousands of acres. Zou Zichuan stands on the edge of the swamp area. He must find the nearest road to bypass this swamp area.
"Sir, sir..." Jisang and his son shouted and ran over dozens of meters away, rolling and crawling all the way.
Looking at the panicked expressions of the two, Zou Zichuan's heart couldn't help but tighten because Jisang and his son were responsible for intelligence investigation.
"Sir..." Ji Sang ran to Zou Zichuan with a dirt-faced look on his face, with a look of fear on his face.
"explain!"
"We just went looking for food three kilometers in front of the left, because there was a small town there, which was originally a mining area of the empire. Later, after mining was strictly prohibited by Star, the capital of the Redel Empire, the mining area was closed. However, there was also a small town in that place, which lived in tens of thousands of people..."
"Tell me the point!" Zou Zichuan frowned immediately.
"Where... there are many mechas there..." After Zou Zichuan frowned, Jisang, who was originally speaking smoothly, suddenly became a little stuttering. The pressure emitted by Zou Zichuan made him feel a little difficult to breathe.
"Mecha?!"
Zou Zichuan was immediately excited. Having a mecha means that someone is fighting with a colorful shellworm.
"Yeah yeah... no...but..."
"But what?" Zou Zichuan's eyes became fierce.
"There are many, many colorful shell bugs..."
"How many?" Zou Zichuan asked.
"It is impossible to estimate specifically, at least a few thousand, densely spreading for several kilometers..."
