Interdimensional science and technology starting from cyberpunk
Chapter 405 The Invisible Killer on the Grassland
In southern Tanzania, savannah stretches as far as the eye can see, wild animals walk on the slightly undulating land, and the sun rises high.
The sounds of various birds echoed in the sky, and the eagle circled in the sky, watching the ground keenly, looking for prey.
The sun shines on this land, the early morning dew has been evaporated by the sun, and the temperature gradually rises.
Zebras and giraffes are looking for breakfast in the open grassland, and lions are also watching the herbivores foraging in the distance, but it is not yet time to hunt.
The best way to keep food fresh is not to kill it for a while.
A breeze blows, and flowers and leaves are blown by the wind.
Grassland is another natural landscape that is about to be forgotten by the cyberpunk world. It is too small compared to the endless and rough sea; compared with the coast, it lacks the delicacy of the beach and the frivolous tranquility of the waves.
But the wild animals here are extremely rich. Groups of animals run freely in this uninhabited land, and the wilderness and the sky are the same color.
[V: It’s such a dry place, but these strange-shaped things are quite interesting]
Grassland was also recorded as Mewtwo.
Compared with the first two Mewtwos, the scenery here is very special: its beauty often comes from the various animals on the grassland.
The animals keep their distance and live together on the same land, even though some may only have a few hours left to live.
The number of humans in the cyberpunk world has dropped sharply, and the number of animals has dropped sharply due to large-scale environmental destruction. There may still be such a grassland in a corner of Africa, but there will definitely be almost no people. Pay for this Mewtwo.
The dynamic system attracts V's attention. Some people can stare at animals all day long, and V has now entered this state.
[Lille: Most of the wild animals are extinct. Did you see that? rhino. 】
[V: How to say it. 】
[Lear: Some rich people like to decorate prosthetics with their horns as a status symbol, and now there are basically no rhinos in the wild. 】
The fourth generation of prostheses also includes this type: decorated with rare natural handicrafts, which have no other meaning except high cost.
[V: Tsk, if you have money, spend it on fun. 】
This time, Mewtwo is much more autonomous. V can wander around the grassland at will, rhino, lion, lizard, cat.
You can even go up to the sky to see what kind of birds there are.
Because this time the Mewtwo was not taken by a human, but by a drone.
The drone dispersed the flock of birds, and the beast stopped what it was doing and looked into the distance warily:
The steel vehicle is moving.
The Atlas Group's electric vehicles appeared on the grassland, and Lear was immersed in commanding the scene through the remote network while editing Chaomeng.
In addition to the Atlas Group vehicles, an African Union law enforcement team composed of Tanzanian government troops and Wakanda Guardsmen is advancing.
"So now we are heading to a nuclear weapons raw material mine?"
Captain Carter asked questions to the robot in the back row while admiring the grassland.
To be precise, this was originally a set of exoskeletons. Through remote control, some parts of engineering equipment were assembled into a robot body with flexibility close to that of humans.
But it is a bit difficult to move flexibly like a human being. This is more of an upgraded application of human-machine coordination technology.
"Yes, but nuclear energy technology is now available for civilian use. We can use what you can understand as nuclear energy to generate electricity."
"That's really" Carter didn't know how to describe it.
Carter had never seen an atomic bomb explode, but had only heard legends about nuclear energy from his friend Howard Stark.
Humanity has mastered the power of self-destruction, but also found the key to unlimited energy——
These are Howard's exact words.
So she suddenly asked: "So now we have unlimited energy? But I heard that there seems to be an energy crisis now?"
Frank laughed because it was he who said the word energy crisis.
"What are you laughing at?" Carter asked inexplicably, "Howard said that as long as we can use nuclear energy for civilian purposes, we will have endless electricity and endless energy.
We can develop this energy together, why must we compete for it? "
"If something is infinite, it won't be sold at a good price." Frank shrugged, "Although I have no education, I still understand this truth.
If the world finds unlimited energy, how will traditional energy companies survive? "
"Are you saying that Roxon Energy Group will definitely block this technology?"
"Isn't that what it is now?"
In just two minutes, Lille received a reply from Uranium 10: They rejected Atlas Group's $180 million offer.
As expected.
Leal in the back row sighed: "Uranium Ten Company rejected the offer."
Atlas Group’s offer is US$180 million, which is far higher than the valuation of the Kumju River deposit.
This amount of money is not small. If you continue to add more money and say that this is for normal business use, it is a bit deceptive——
Commercial use requires cost consideration. Only companies that are striving for monopoly will do this kind of thing regardless of cost.
Captain Carter asked:
"Then what? Do we just grab it head-on? With all due respect, maybe their behavior is unkind, but what's wrong with the one who pays the highest price?"
Leal replied: "If they break the law there will be a problem, captain."
[Moss: Mr. Li, the Mkuju River is just ahead, but it still belongs to Uranium-10. In order to prevent possible problems, we hope that you can take the gentlest possible approach to the inspection]
[Lille: Okay, let's stop for a moment. That's it. ]
Moss is the Minister of Mines of the Tanzanian government, who is responsible for handling these industries and serves as the guide for this trip.
The Mkuju River deposit is in the distance, and this deposit is located near the wildlife reserve.
Lille originally wanted the Tanzanian government to take back the purchasing rights in the name of not meeting the mining volume, but that would be somewhat robbery.
After all, although the contract stipulates the mining volume, it also states that both parties should consider each other's situation and communicate and resolve disputes in a win-win mentality.
The low price of uranium ore is a market factor. If we really communicate in this "friendly" mentality, we can understand each other.
Now his relationship with the African Union is in a honeymoon period. Implanting prostheses can quickly help these backward countries establish an industrial system. It is certain that they prefer Atlas.
But if this kind of thing is done, it will inevitably leave a hidden wound in the hearts of both sides.
But now the situation has changed.
The picture returned by the drone shows that there are no specially built roads around, and there are no signs of cars passing by frequently.
This is a bit abnormal:
Uranium mining, like other mineral mining, will produce a lot of waste: tailings that cannot be used normally, waste rock produced by excavation, and wastewater used for production and maintenance of equipment operation.
Unlike other minerals, the waste produced by the mining of radioactive veins is also reflective, which is a nuclear pollutant.
Lille is familiar with what all types of radioactive mineral mining look like. He checked the available data of this deposit long before coming here.
So he found something wrong.
The predicted resource volume of the Mkuju River deposit is about 50,000 tons, but the noise associated with the mining of Uranium Ten Company is too small.
Whether it is the flow of equipment and population, or the transportation volume of waste.
It doesn't match.
The convoy stopped with Lille's control, and the drone began to approach the mining point from the forest-
However, the drone controlled by the wireless terminal had just approached the camp, and the equipment flashed abnormally.
If others thought it might be a bad signal, but Lille immediately became alert: radioactive materials could affect the communication signal.
But before Lille could think carefully, he quickly determined that there was something wrong with the mine.
Because the drone saw several black workers walking out of the mine wearing only a thin work suit, dragging a small cart of broken ore behind them.
[Lille: No offense, but Mr. Moss, do you think this is normal? ]
The picture was transmitted to Moss's eyes, and when he saw this scene, his face turned livid instantly.
The workers in the huge mining area were all laughing and looked very happy.
But this is radioactive mineral mining, and spiritual happiness cannot resist radiation.
The workers are uneducated, but this official who has studied abroad still understands.
[Moss: We want to seal this place! Seize these Americans! ]
