Chapter 743 Small Theater: Another Story Line 4

Chen Yan quickly discovered the suspicious points in the strange past events described by Cyborg Quinn:

"After you were captured by the Northern Bureau and had your frontal lobe cut off by a magpie, how did your consciousness on the phone investigate the subsequent events?"

In the three years since Cyborg Quinn was captured by the North Bureau and underwent prefrontal lobotomy, the consciousness on the phone - the Cyborg Quinn who is currently talking to Chen Yan, should

The IP address has already been blocked. How to investigate what happened next?

Chen Yan was alert at this moment. The former Chief of the Inspection Section of the Northern Bureau was obviously not an honest person, and it would take a lot of effort to have a conversation with him to find out the truth.

Chen Yan asked the question in the second person, which made the other party feel respected and recognized. This may be the first time that his self-awareness as a "person" has been recognized by others, so the pleasure made the answer appear quickly:

"After my frontal lobe was removed, my IP was blocked.

Maybe it's because I still have value, maybe because they still have a need for me, maybe because they feel there's no need to be on guard against a fool... In any case, they didn't take away my phone."

Texts continued to appear on the screen. Chen Yan stared at these words, and the sound of the ship's bow parting the water as the ship moved at full speed echoed in his ears. His nose was filled with the fresh, cold smell of the sea, and he felt inexplicably happy.

'At least I've got things figured out.'

he told himself.

'At least [The Executor] is not invincible - it's just a matter of a shotgun - like most extraordinary beings, there is no way to survive under hot weapons.'

Everything that gradually appeared on the yellow screen of Cyborg Quinn's mobile phone connected what happened next:

"After my IP was blocked by the Northern Bureau, I couldn't connect to the Internet."

"Actually, this is not a big deal, because the Internet was still very small at that time - there were not even lighthouses at that time. To access the Internet, you still need to enter a specific account and password in a place with a particularly good mobile phone signal to connect. That ghost underground

Local signals...you understand.》

"Also, in the decades since I became an agent, I have used the Internet so little that I don't rely on it."

He seemed to be bragging about himself.

"Really useful information does not come from the Internet. Really useful things come from people's mouths, specific people, specific things. You may not need to contact people with particularly high status, because there will always be people doing miscellaneous work, and any careful plan will fail."

A large number of peripheral personnel are needed to complete the details, and these people are the breakthrough point of the plan."

"To be honest, when you are underground, instead of counting on the Internet, you might as well count on Mr. Liang - at least Mr. Liang is a good businessman. Just give him what he wants and he will tell you everything."

The rest of Cyborg Quinn's life became increasingly difficult.

After having his frontal lobe cut off, Cyborg Quinn became confused and confused. He was thrown underground like garbage by the North Bureau and survived the month-long riot.

God knows where he found food and how he survived for a month.

A month later, when he climbed out of the ruins of Black Paradise, the lifting device of the Omega Sector had been opened again, and the underground mining operations gradually began to return to normal.

When Cyborg Quinn, the Cyborg Quinn on the mobile phone, was connected to Liang Baye again, Liang Baye told him that everything ended in a bloody conflict.

Spyro Industries paid the price of being invaded by an outside force and holding the key;

The Omega Sector has paid for the development prospects that may give birth to civilization;

The miners sacrificed everything - the new immigrants who were forced into the Smokey Lake, the dreamers who came to Yanan City from all over the world, and the poor people who could only exchange their lives for a chance to survive.

, they can no longer enjoy a normal life underground. The black paradise that represents hope is destroyed, the industrial chain that can give birth to civilization is destroyed, and everything about them is destroyed.

It is worth mentioning that Spyro Industries - this sad company is composed of a group of illiterate pirates. They were unable to do anything in the face of interference from other forces during this riot. They watched the mining area being destroyed.

Divided and unable to resist.

They can only exchange their most precious things for the end of everything - they have reached a deal with some forces - the largest of which is the Yanan City Council - and these forces will help them regain their underground positions at a price

It is the transfer of a portion of permanent power from now on.

Chen Yan remained skeptical:

"As far as I know, Sparrow Industries itself served the ground during its past operations."

Cyborg Quinn immediately understood what Chen Yan meant - the purpose of Sparrow Industries' mining of Snake Rock is to supply supplies to the ground, and its position is naturally suppressed by the forces on the ground. The financial means are enough for them to drink a pot, and underground

The deformed monetary system is the best proof of this - in this case, what reason does the above-ground forces have to be at odds with the underground?

Facts have proven that war means can never be as good as financial means backed by violence.

"Because of electricity."

Cyborg Quinn answered briefly without hesitation.

Listening to his simple answer, Chen Yan suddenly realized that things had developed to the beginning of this long conversation——

All contradictions originate from electricity, end with electricity, and are extended by electricity.

"Society is developing, Mr. Chen. Society has been developing continuously. The era of internal combustion engines has even passed suddenly. When Sparrow Industry provided 80% of the electricity in the entire Northern Federation and maintained it for a long time, this

Society—even the places where this society extends—overseas colonies are inseparable from the electricity generated by Snake Rock."

"As far as you know, the underground snake-nose rock mining area is actually constantly expanding - those strange snakes are multiplying like crazy and keep moving towards the center of the earth, turning everything they come into contact into snakes

Kiss Rock.》

"How long can the Snake Rock be mined? As far as I know, just three years ago, the ore reserves of the Snake Rock in the four underground mining areas were discovered, which was enough for the society at that time to use it for more than 1,500 years."

Huge electricity - abundant energy, promotes social progress and promotes the development of science and technology, allowing the Northern Federation to establish in just a few years starting from Yanan City, spreading among the various island chains in the empire, and on the seabed and crust.

The submarine cables above allowed the empire to establish a large number of light and heavy industry foundries in overseas colonies in just a few years, allowing the first spacecraft to enter space some time ago.

"None of this was accomplished overnight."

The pursuit of electricity led to the establishment of Sparrow Industries. The power provided by the Snake Rock discovered by Sparrow Industries became the prerequisite for all future development. After the emerging technology industries based on electricity flourished, more

Electricity demand arises.

A certain amount of resources can never satisfy everyone. The reserves of Snake Rock are very large, but the production capacity is very low. Especially after the Black Paradise riots, there was even a serious productivity degradation underground - the miners were in the riots

The casualties were huge.

Fortunately, an endless stream of new immigrants soon supplemented this, and the mining team continued to expand.

"Resources at any fixed point in time are limited. If you use them, I won't have them."

Disputes arise from this.

The emergence of the Black Paradise Riots is the same reason.

There are always people who are in urgent need of Snake Rock, and there are always forces on the ground that have trouble with the distribution of underground minerals, so invaders appear.

It's just that this time - the riot in Black Heaven - ended with the victory of the local forces in Yanan City - and this group of victorious forces were not the same group that originally controlled the supply chain of Spyro Industries' Snake Rock.

》

Cyborg Quinn was careless here because he didn't explain exactly who these forces were - he obviously didn't plan to let Chen Yan know.

And Cyborg Quinn also obviously knew that Chen Yan had heard what he was hiding. This was obviously a very embarrassing thing, especially after the cooperation between the two has reached the point where it is now very harmonious - between the two

The cooperation has obviously made great progress after Chen Yan came back, but Cyborg Quinn's concealment will destroy the little trust that was just established.

In order to compensate for his concealment, Cyborg Quinn said something else - something not so secret, rarely noticed, but very crucial:

"After everything happened, the defeated left the city of Yharnam.

Without the blessing of energy, they would not be able to gain a foothold in Yanan City, or even the Northern Federation—or even the Empire.

They need new markets, new worlds, new...everything.

So the empire's overseas colonization plan came into being. The defeated people fled the empire's territory and went overseas to find new opportunities and new energy sources that could replace electricity... You know, that is almost impossible,

Electricity is the most suitable energy source that people can use.》

"It is worth mentioning that although they are said to be "losers", they themselves are not weak. There are too many factors for victory in the war, and it is not necessarily the strong who win the war."

"If you are lucky enough... maybe we will soon meet the losers in the underground mining area."

Chen Yan thought the news was useful, so the cooperative relationship between the two was repaired to a certain extent.

"Speaking of which, the third phase of cooperation between Byron Weiss, the Mechanical Society, and the temporary North Bureau joining included the armed separatist control of the underground mining area.

If you have read that document, you should already know everything."

Chen Yan did not type this time because he had indeed seen it very clearly. The details involved in the agreement document basically made their original plan underground very clear.

But that part of the agreement only mentioned the [White Snake], and the language was very unclear. This was the fundamental reason why Chen Yan came to ask Cyborg Quinn.

"Similarly, the third phase of the cooperation also includes the part about [White Snake], but the confidentiality level of that part is too high. According to the rules of the North Bureau - just the rules of the North Bureau, it is not Byron Weiss or the Machinery Training Society. I am not

I don’t know the rules between the two - according to the rules of the North Bureau, plans with a high confidentiality level will not be explained in writing, and information will only be circulated among relevant investigators with a high priority. 》

No new text appears on the dim screen.

Chen Yan smelled the sea breeze and thought in his heart.

Things have developed to this point, and White Snake has disappeared. She must exist in a corner of the Internet. Judging from the way she left, her location should be very safe.

Her hometown is in a certain part of the [Wilderness], but there are too few passages to the [Wilderness] in this world. Chen Yan does have one, but the White Snake has already left, and he has no chance to tell the White Snake about it.

Already.

And when is the "next dawn" that White Snake mentioned?

Is it...tomorrow morning?
