Chapter 1072 Want shelter? Why not build the base in the alliance?
The original purpose of the shelter built before the nuclear war was to preserve the last fire of mankind.
The purpose of all the original managers is to wait until the impact of the war has passed before leading humans to return to life on the surface.
However, over a long period of time, countless inheritances inevitably caused changes in the minds of underground humans.
Some people are addicted to power and are no longer willing to return the residents of the shelter to the surface and come into contact with more novel things to shake their rule.
Some people are afraid of danger. They are extremely afraid that danger will come overnight and destroy everything they have worked hard for.
Some people are afraid of other refuges where they are also gophers, and some are worried about predators who have no human form to speak of.
In short, even if the conditions for returning to the surface are met, not many shelters will choose to return immediately.
However, the above are basically for wandering shelters.
A true family heritage shelter like the Horsens Shelter focuses on not forgetting the original intention.
Seeing the young manager in front of him actually asking straight to the point, Kevin felt happy and continued to speak calmly.
"We need soldiers from the alliance to be stationed on the protective ground for reconstruction. We don't need too many people, but we need a clear attitude of protection from the alliance. In addition, we also need certain technical guidance. You know, after staying underground for a long time, we need to return to the ground.
Not everyone can adapt quickly to the situation on the ground. We need engineers from the alliance to help formulate some reasonable reconstruction plans to build defense facilities on the ground."
"Yes, we still need to open up a trade route between alliances. Just like the flat plains and the giant city shelters, we also need those fresh green plants and various gadgets, and we also need an enclave outside the city to build a branch.
base to help residents see the benefits of returning to the ground."
Although the former sounds important, it is not actually important.
Clear Harbor Shelter has already withdrawn the Ranger Legion. The disintegration of the Southern Suburban Alliance will also put everyone in a period of isolation. Coupled with the damage of modern weapons, there are actually not many threats on the ground. In order to Huo
The strength of Sens Shelter can fully cope with it.
And what follows is the real purpose of Kevin's trip.
The complete plan to return to the ground was formulated by the first generation of managers as early as two hundred years ago.
The disappearance of the threat of nuclear radiation on the ground and the end of the nuclear war are only one of the most basic conditions.
Back on the ground, how and where to develop and whether there is a sustainable resource cycle are more important indicators.
Affected by the recent metal strike, all the starch and protein generating machines in the shelter are running almost 24 hours a day.
No one can guarantee that there will be a sudden change at any time that will cause these machines to stop working.
Therefore, a piece of land that can be planted suddenly becomes important.
"Well, it doesn't sound like these demands are excessive, but..." Sumo shook his head: "The alliance is not a charity. We need to know what we can get back after paying for it?"
What to get back?
Kevin was still thinking about how to negotiate more conditions, but when he heard this, he suddenly became anxious and said quickly.
"There are elite soldiers in Horsens Refuge that are no less than the Pingtan Army. If we join, we will definitely bring a lot of help to the Western Suburbs Alliance!"
"At least Sunny Harbor Shelter, yes, they will definitely be afraid of us joining forces!"
"Oh, no less than the Pingtan Army."
This time it wasn't Sumo's turn to speak, and Yehu, who had been 'disguising' the sculpture, finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Boy, don't think that the Tianyuan manager in front of you is young just because you want to fool him!"
"The addition of Horsens Refuge will not only not scare Sunny Harbor, but will actually bring a lot of trouble to our western suburbs."
"I don't want to wait until the war breaks out and take people all the way to wipe the butt of your shelter."
Wiping your butt is okay.
Hearing Yehu's arrogant speech, Kevin felt a tightness in his chest.
If I had known earlier, I would not have compared Pingtan Army.
Liehu values the combat effectiveness of his army the most, and he also knows that the expansion of the Western Suburbs Alliance is not a good thing in some cases, especially now at this juncture, the purpose of extending its hands and feet to the southern suburbs is too obvious.
But when I turned around, I saw the half-smiling expression on Sumo's face.
Does this young manager also know this?
wrong.
To be able to suppress Hunting Tiger and Aldrich, this man must also know the twists and turns involved.
Slowly negotiating terms from the bottom up no longer seems feasible.
Kevin couldn't help but frown, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Sumo, Mr. Hunting Tiger, I admit that the Horsens Sanctuary does need the alliance's protection now, but at this juncture, there are not many things we can give. There are a lot of things.
All resources need to be used for construction on the ground, and the remaining resources must be used for emergency plan preparation."
"I can make the decision and agree to any conditions that are not excessive. I can even write an IOU to the alliance first, and then slowly repay the debt after we get through this most difficult period. It is really difficult for us. I hope you can understand."
"Of course, of course I can understand." Faced with Kevin's humiliation, Su Mo couldn't help but smile more: "IOUs are a bit too hurtful to the feelings between allies. How about this? As the first person in the southern suburbs who wants to
By joining the Alliance's sanctuary, we should indeed give it some extra care."
The turning point was quite abrupt.
Kevin originally thought that he would need to make a few begging words in a low voice and push some excessive conditions back and forth before the other party would offer the real price.
Now I didn't expect Sumo to be so straightforward, so he quickly said in surprise:
"You tell me, I am the manager of Horsens Shelter and I have 100% decision-making power."
Sumo nodded and said slowly.
"You just said that Horsens Shelter wants an enclave outside the city, right? You want to build a sub-base. In that case, do you think this is feasible? The location is in our western suburbs, choose mine
Around the shelter.”
"The distance is relatively close. My soldiers can send troops to protect us at any time, and we can also take care of each other's development."
Kevin couldn't help but be stunned.
"Behind this wall?"
"That's right." Sumo continued with a smile: "If you build the sub-base on the land outside the southern suburbs, it will be too far away from the control of our western suburbs alliance, and no one can guarantee support in case of danger.
When will it arrive? But if it is built here in our western suburbs, it will not only make trade more convenient, but also ensure safety, why not?"
It's convenient for you to build here, but it's not convenient for us?
Kevin was a little confused.
I felt that what the other party said was very reasonable, but at the same time I felt that I had overlooked something important.
But to put it this way, it is indeed not very reliable to set up the branch base on the land outside the southern suburbs.
Although it was close to my own shelter, it was too far away from the alliance's shelter.
Once there is real danger, the base will probably be completely destroyed by the time support arrives.
Thinking of this, Kevin lowered his head hesitantly, coughed lightly and said:
"But this place is too far from the Horsens shelter. Even with the alliance's shelter, we still have to consider the risk of going back and forth."
Sumo nodded immediately.
"That's true, but isn't the reason why the sub-base was established to share the risk? The residents who are moved here to be responsible for the construction do not need to travel back and forth every day, they only need to build the base step by step. We have alliance soldiers who will
Responsible for protecting material delivery."
These words made Kevin even more confused.
If the distance between the two sides is ignored, the manager's proposal is indeed a better choice.
But if he really chooses the branch base here, it means that he can't come here anytime and anywhere to check on the progress.
From the beginning of its construction, Horsens Refuge has prepared a complete set of material reserves and technologies for returning to the ground. Over the long years, it has also purchased many new things from the foundation.
But these are only enough for one construction, not enough for him to waste again and again.
Once it is wasted due to his hasty use, he will directly become the sinner of the entire sanctuary.
"Sorry, we have prepared a lot of resources for the construction of the sub-base, and there is only one chance. If you choose to build it far away from the shelter, the risk is really too high."
"Well, it seems that our new ally still doesn't understand the situation."
Sumo smiled and turned his head. The hunting tiger next to him was already a little annoyed.
He didn't like Kevin's formal back-and-forth at all.
Especially when compared with his allies, the gap is not too obvious.
However, after hearing these words, Yehu suddenly felt a little happy, and quickly nodded and added:
"It's normal. Just like those gopher guys in the southern suburbs saw us resuming ground construction on the flat beach, they thought we were crazy."
??
Kevin was a little confused.
Is this a mockery of his short-sightedness? I never thought that one day an illiterate like Yehu would be able to mock others?
But just when he wanted to retort, he saw Somo waving to the side.
Four guards walked up in standard goose steps and stood in front of a few people.
"Although it's late at night now, I think Mr. Kevin won't mind staying up late."
"Go and take Mr. Kevin to have a good tour of our plantations and industrial areas."
If I rush here to attend the meeting, I will definitely not take the risk of returning to the shelter overnight.
Kevin originally planned to set up camp on the edge of the city after discussing the alliance and wait for dawn before going back.
Now I suddenly heard Sumo saying that he wanted someone to take him to visit plantations and industrial areas?
Has the northern suburbs developed to this point?
Kevin was a little confused, but in the end he didn't say any words of rejection.
In fact, he had this plan before he came, and he came anyway.
Even if we can't form an alliance with the shelter in the western suburbs in the end, we still have to see how far they have developed now.
"Don't worry about anything. Although Mr. Yehu is a violent person, he never attacks his allies."
"Go ahead and take your questions and find the answers."
Kevin really couldn't find any reason to refuse Somo's gentle suggestion.
Especially when he walked under the city wall and saw the Lizard Car parked not far away, he even suspected that the manager had predicted everything that would happen.
"Mr. Kevin, I am your tour guide today. My name is Lu Zhou."
Since he was communicating with the Blue Star people, the person responsible for leading the tour was Lu Zhou, who had now been promoted to the captain of the guard brigade.
Among all the guards, he learned the Blue Star language very quickly, and he could hardly recognize many foreign accents anymore.
"Except for the guards, our car can only carry four people with you. Please understand."
"We will definitely ensure your safety, in the name of the alliance."
The meaning of bringing four people is actually the same as bringing forty people.
Having already entered someone else's territory, Kevin doesn't think that he can make any qualitative changes by bringing more people with him.
So, he only named 'Geng Changtian', the security captain who was responsible for the safety of this trip, and 'Price', who was about to be promoted to the main manager of the sub-base.
The three of them quickly got on the Lizard Car and headed towards Hope Village along the road that had been poured with a thin layer of cement.
To be honest, a coolie lizard pulling a cart is not a very good choice.
Although this guy's stamina is much stronger than that of a horse, it is difficult to achieve coordination among multiple horses. It is easy for confusion and bumps to occur when pulling the cart.
But no matter what, it is much more comfortable than walking all the way.
Darkness shrouds everywhere, and the wasteland without light pollution is almost invisible at night.
It didn't take long for Kevin, who was already a little tired, to lean on the car and doze off.
The car went all the way west.
I don’t know how long it took, but in my daze, I felt a slight pushing sensation.
"Master Kevin, wake up, we are almost there!"
Geng Changtian, the security captain with an oriental face, whispered, startling Kevin's remaining sleepiness away.
arrive?!
Kevin subconsciously sat up straight, opened the curtains on the side of the carriage, and looked out through the small window.
The sky is still dark, and you can see the stars twinkling in the sky, casting a little light.
But looking far away along the horizon, there are several lighthouses more than ten meters high that are casting light and sweeping the ground.
Anywhere illuminated by the light will instantly be illuminated with touches of green.
Blown by the night wind, these plants swayed back and forth, giving off a refreshing scent of wilderness.
"here.!"
Kevin's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The neat field ridges stretch as far as the eye can see, just like an artist's work, straight and flat.
There are patches of seedlings that are still growing vigorously, but their progress is not uniform. They are obviously not meant to be planted temporarily.
"Stop the car quickly, stop the car quickly!"
Some people wonder if they haven't woken up yet and are still dreaming.
Kevin yelled, waiting for the Lizard Car to stop, and rushed in impatiently.
He rushed into the field like a madman, lay down on the ground, picked up the flashlight on his waist and shot it at the roots of the plants.
According to the information left in the refuge, the relationship between land fertility and plant growth is compared.
"My God, the land here is so fertile!"
No plants can be grown on land irradiated by nuclear radiation. Even if they are planted two hundred years later, they will be burned to death by the radiation.
Many experiments have been done in the Horsens shelter, and Kevin, the manager, has been to the surface hundreds of times.
However, the results every time were disappointing. Because Qinggang City is close to the port, the dissipation of nuclear radiation is too slow!
And as long as the radiation in the seawater cannot be processed, the land will be continuously affected.
There is no other way, the shelter can only try soilless cultivation or purified soil cultivation.
But those costs are too high, the cost is almost a hundred times that of machine starch.
Therefore, the most important factor in getting rid of machines is to find fertile land for plant growth.
And the land in front of us is one of the top choices in the data!
"Mr. Kevin, the plantation here has just been opened, and the crops in it have not been cultivated for a long time. If you are very interested in plants, there are many plantations ahead, and the crops there should be almost mature.
!”
The first time he saw someone lying in the ground howling and screaming, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and politely stepped forward to remind him.
But before he finished speaking, he was startled by Kevin's reaction.
The man who had just been lying on the ground bounced up from the ground as if there were springs under his butt.
He looked excited and looked shocked as if he had heard a fantasy.
