Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

After that, a few people completely finalized the plan to mine minerals, especially the source stone mine, even though they already knew what the nature of the source stone was.

Yes, the essence of the source stone is indeed so terrifying, but the source stone, as the most extensive and basic energy source in this land, already has an almost unbreakable system.

Uprooting the system, which neither Rankopel nor the PhDs can do right now, means that temporary compromises are necessary.

Genshi is indeed a monster at heart, and every hunt comes with inevitable risks – however, this hunt has been going on for thousands of years, providing people with the opportunity to survive.

In the continent of Terra, natural disasters are frequent, and most people live in mobile cities - even smaller mobile cities can accommodate tens of thousands of ordinary residents.

Once a natural disaster occurs, the entire mobile city will inevitably have to be moved.

However, to make the behemoth of the mobile city move, only the energy contained in the source stone can do it, and no other energy source that has been discovered can do it.

This dooms the irreplaceable nature of source stone as an energy source.

After all, when natural disasters come, mountains collapse, fires and rains fall from the sky, rivers and waves are discharged, hurricanes are swept away, and in that case, the people who survive will firmly grasp it even if they have a floating branch at hand.

And as for whether there are barbs and thorns on that branch ... Who could think so much about survival, at least not at the time.

Maybe those thorns and barbs will stick people's hands to the ground and bloody - but until you can find harmless branches, you can only hold on and hold on.

Of course, the use of source stones can also lead to natural disasters - but before the source stones are widely exploited and the idea of mobile cities is not yet completed, because there are too many people who have died in natural disasters.

So in order to survive, people grit their teeth and seek a path of sacrifice and survival to destruction itself - and this is the source stone.

...... Therefore, the source stone mine still has to continue to be mined, continue to mine, and continue to bring financial supplements to the development of Rhode Island and Chernoberg.

Just like the doctor, even if Fika they don't dig, Rem Bituo and even other countries have people to dig these source stone mines, and it will be difficult to get a piece of the pie at that time.

Instead of giving it to other forces, especially those whose understanding of the source stone mine is still at the inherent level, it is better to give it to themselves and others who have a deeper understanding for more rational control.

Alas, after all, it is the source stone, and if you want to shake the foundation that supports this land, whether it is the current doctor or Rankopel and others, it can be called self-sufficient.

Of course, this is only for now.

One of the goals Rhode Island is now exploring is to find a cure for ore disease, and to fundamentally isolate the dangerous energy system of source stone.

Look for the "harmless branch".

Of course, this is even more distant than the former, but thankfully, there are still people who work tirelessly to achieve this.

......

The next discussion with Fika also focused on what he had come to Rem to do at the beginning - obtaining funds, and in mining and geology, Fika showed great literary literacy.

No matter what kind of questions Amia asks about this area, Fika can always quickly answer Amia's questions in a very simple and understandable way.

Even the Doctor nodded frequently.

Indeed, Fika has picked up the part of the knowledge that has fallen behind in a short time since Chernnoberg, and although it is still not as good as Fick, it is no exaggeration to call him a true scholar.

"Leaders ... I have a request.

Towards the end of the discussion, Fika said to Rankopel with some uncertainty.

"But it doesn't hurt to say. Rankopel

, of course, motioned for him to continue.

“...... Well, Leader, I arrived at the Rhode Island Safe House after the battle began, and learned a lot about Rhode Island from talking to the Rhode Island operators.

"There was talk about a range of benefits and benefits for Rhode Island Operators, but most importantly, we have been very much in tune with you and me along the way."

"So I wanted to be like Lilith and be an operator in Rhode Island while juggling some Rhode Island jobs and continuing to study at Rhode Island."

"But... I must first obtain your approval.

Fika finally finished speaking, his tone was still a little nervous, but there was obviously a hint of expectation under his eyes.

"This ah, little thing.

Rankopel thought it was something, and replied without thinking

, "Do you think of me as some old society slave owner, Fika?"

"At that time I was also very encouraged by Lilith going to Rhode Island to become a doctor, and now Rhode Island and we are extremely close allies,

and there is no difference between you helping them and helping me."

Amia also cheerfully said to Fica:

"Well, you can also become a high-authority supernumerary like Rankopel and Miss Lilith, Rhode Island has a specific operator manual, which will be distributed to you when the time comes."

Fika let out a long breath and said to Rankopel:

"I know, leader, thank you for your support, whether it is for you or for Rhode Island, I will definitely find my place and then do my best to make a difference."

Rankopel patted Fika on the shoulder affectionately and said

, "You've done a good job, Fita, actually, you're a surprise boy who keeps surprising us,

but don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Fika naturally nodded very seriously.

......

After some more homely exchanges and pleasantries, the discussion ended.

And after hearing Fika say that he knew that he could see Rankopel the next day and stayed up all night, Rankopel naturally sent Fika to his room to rest.

Rankopel came to the bridge deck of the White Sands alone, standing on the edge, holding the guardrail in his hand, feeling the night breeze brush through his hair.

Recalling the scene of coming to Rembito, it seems that it has not yet dispersed behind him, what a thrilling journey... But I still want to go back to Chernoberg to see what's going on over there.

"I don't know how well Gumi and Truth are preparing for the Usas-flavored street they plan to build in Chernoberg, maybe it has been completed, or it may be completed.

Rankopel said to himself in a complicated tone:

"I don't know how the Chernoberg militarized city-state transformation plan is progressing, just think that the Raytheon Industries Group's naval guns are covering the walls of Chernoberg, it must be a spectacular sight."

And at this moment

, Amia's voice came from the side:

"Mr. Rankopel, aren't you going to rest yet?" It

turned out that Amia also came to the deck, and she acted as a bedkeeper for the Rhode Island operators for a while after the discussion, and only after the list was completed did she plan to go to rest.

Unexpectedly, she finally came to the deck, but found Rankopel who was still not resting, alone on the edge of the bridge blowing the evening breeze.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and everyone on the deck except for a few rescue team members who were on duty in the monitoring room rested, and two figures, one large and one small, were lined up one after the other.

"Actually, I'm going to rest for quite a while, Amia.

Rankopel let out a short sigh and turned sideways to Amia who came next to him.

"Mr. Rankopel, you mean your body...?"

Amia immediately asked with concern in her tone becoming a little worried.

"Yes, after all, if you don't sleep again, something terrible may happen on this speeding boat." Rankopel

said to Amia:

"Actually, my physical state is still not optimistic... Although your rain has pulled me back from the boundary of death, this body is now desperately in need of a lot of nutrients and rest.

"I'll only do the latter for the time being, and I'll lie dormant for about a month, waiting for Rhode Island to arrive."

Amia nodded and said to Rankopel in a firm tone:

"Well, I see, Mr. Rankopel. "

As soon as the ship arrives, we will immediately take Mr. Rankopel into the medical compartment for nutrient injections and a series of examinations, so that you can get the best conditioning on the ship." "

I assure you in my capacity as the leader of Rhode Island. Rankopel

smiled and nodded gently to Amia, handed her the spare key to his room, and then said goodbye to Amia and went all the way back to his room.

Syllable.

Rankopel fell on his back on the bed, the bed in the lounge of the speeding boat was obviously not comparable to Rhode Island, and he could directly feel the vacancy spliced by wood through the mattress when he fell down.

"Do I have to buy a coffin as my own bed like the book says? Rankopel

on the bed lifted one arm and then rested his forearm on his eye.

"It's still weird to think about, but it's a novelty to experience it once in a while." "

Hum -

the igneous rock and blood condensed armor made by the source stone technique on Rankopel's body suddenly disintegrated, and then the blood began to multiply, and the free iron in the air was also being rapidly extracted.

Buzz -

the coffin is not something difficult to build, to put it bluntly, it is just a box for people, and I don't need the flashy decorations on the surface of the coffin.

So in about two minutes, Rankopel was lying in a coffin made of iron, blood, and igneous rock, which was just the right size and very comfortable.

But the coffin made by Rankopel is not so much the kind of coffin in the West as it is the coffin of the East - boxy angular, not a coffin or something.

"Whew... Rested. Rankopel

casually put the lid on the top of the coffin on his hand, and the surrounding area fell into a calm darkness, and he did not feel flustered, but felt that this undisturbed environment was really fantastic.

However, this is not just a personal personality, but also a factor that the blood demon itself loves dark and quiet environments.

"See you in a month. Rankopel

closed his eyes, and in this so-called [Blood Demon's Bed], like many people in this land, he fell asleep, but this time, he had to stay in his sleep for a month.

Of course, before leaving, he also specifically told Amia not to let others disturb him during this time - disturbing the sleep of a blood demon is actually an extremely taboo thing in Sakaz.

I hope the journey to Rhode Island will be smooth.
