I want to be a warlord

"Boss, what do you think they are looking at?" Du Zongren raised his head and glanced outside while cooking.

There was a hotel in Najishot, but it was owned by locals. Wang Zhen couldn't rest assured about their sanitary conditions, so he arranged for two chefs, Du Zongren, to cook in the yard.

"How do I know? Maybe they are targeting our truck." Wang Zhen smiled and called Abed over, pointing outside, "What's the situation? Is it safe?"

"Sir, there are some people's spies here, and there are also some who want to see if they can find a job with us." Abed said, "Do you need me to ask someone to drive them away?"

"Haha, no need, let them see it. Those who are looking for a job...ask them how much it costs. Maybe it will come in handy."

Abed came back after walking around in a circle, his face not so good, "Sir, they charge 5 dollars a day!"

"Is it expensive?" Wang Zhen asked with some confusion when he saw Abed's face.

"It's very expensive. In U.S. dollars, heavy labor is only $2 a day. They charge high prices on purpose."

Wang Zhen clicked his tongue twice but said nothing.

It was a bumpy day, and there were no entertainment activities here. There were only a few satellite phones with Internet access, and the cost was extremely high. Everyone went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Wang Zhen was woken up by the heat. He went to his boss angrily and put HK416 directly on his forehead, "Give me more fucking money and generate electricity for me. I want to turn on the air conditioner!"

"One dollar per room per hour!" the boss said forcefully as he pulled away HK416.

The people he receives here are either smugglers, drug criminals, or terrorists. In the eyes of the boss, Wang Zhen is definitely a good person!
There is no fear at all!

Wang Zhen threw down a wad of dollars and turned around to leave. It was impossible to kill the other party just because of a few dollars.

With air conditioning, Wang Zhen can finally sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, Guo Zhongjie and Du Zongren got up early and cooked breakfast for dozens of people.

While eating, Wang Zhen deliberately went to the two exploration teams that the embassy had helped find. "Gong Zhang, Gong Qi, did you have a good rest last night?"

"It's very good." The two put down their bowls and said with a smile: "This condition is already very good in Africa. I never thought that there would be air conditioning at night. We don't have it at the construction site."

"Haha, the conditions are simple and there is no other way. I can't treat you badly. Then it won't be difficult to find help from others in the future." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

"Boss Wang is so polite." Zhang Gong said with a smile: "Are we going into the mountain today?"

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Wang Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what the situation is over there. It's still a bit far away from here. I'm going to take a look first to see if I can set up a camp near the mining area. "

"The campground is difficult to build. The drinking water problem needs to be solved. I also want to see if we can build a small hydropower station. Could you two help me?"

"I don't understand hydroelectric power stations."

"It's okay, just take a look at the terrain and see if there's a foundation for it."

"Okay, listen to Boss Wang."

After confirming what he was going to do today, after breakfast, Wang Zhen asked Abed to leave 15 people to watch the truck, and he took 15 Dinka people, two exploration teams and You Congyun into the truck and drove out.

Najishot is actually built in a valley, with mountains on the east and west sides, and only passages from south to north.

To the south, winding around the Kineti Mountains, you can enter northern Uganda and the Kidepo Valley National Park.

Most of Uganda is located on the East African Plateau, especially the east and west sides of the River Valley Park. The high altitude is not conducive to planting and grazing, and it is sparsely populated. Almost all Ugandans living here are related to drug criminals and terrorists.

Hemp and khat are grown in large quantities in the valley.

There are no roads at all to the south beyond Najishot, not even dirt roads. There are only ruts made by drug criminals and smugglers' vehicles. In the rainy season, the ruts are not clear. Weeds grow very fast. If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost. .

After driving for more than two hours, Wang Zhen looked at the map from time to time and finally arrived at the location of the first iron mine.

It feels as if it is far away from Najishot, but the actual straight-line distance is less than 20 kilometers.

Zhang Gong got out of the car and looked around. Compared to Wang Zhen's gloomy look, Zhang Gong Qi Gong was smiling. He is engaged in geological exploration and has never seen any harsh terrain. This place can only be considered a child's play.

After calling on the team members to get the tools, they must first determine the geographical location and altitude, and collect rock and soil samples nearby.

Wang Zhen walked to the back of the convoy, called on the Dinka soldiers to guard the front and rear, and sent a few more people to protect Zhang Gongqigong.

Behind, Lao Liu's two guards took down the drone pulled from the back of the pickup truck and placed it on the ground. After opening the cantilever, it looked like it was the size of a small car.

After a while of debugging, a barrel of diesel was added, and the T-30 slowly took off as the propeller rotated rapidly.

"What are you..." Zhang Gong and Qi Gong ran behind Wang Zhen at some point and looked at the huge flying drone, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"It is modified from an agricultural drone. It does not add pesticides and adds diesel and generators. It can fly in the sky for a day and has strong wind resistance. It is not afraid even if it encounters raptors!" Wang Zhen introduced quite proudly: "This How about a monitor and high-definition camera on the side!”

The two people understood it as soon as they heard it. Looking at the clear picture on the monitor, they said with envy and worry: "This thing is really good. If we have this thing to use, we can save a lot of work. However, this thing is illegal." Bar……"

"Ah?" Wang Zhen was stunned. No one had mentioned anything illegal to him for a long time. It was very new.

"Yes, it contains so much diesel and a lithium battery. If it malfunctions and falls down, it will be a large incendiary bomb. This must not cause a forest fire!" Qi Gong said with a frown.

Wang Zhen didn't know what to say for a while. It was indeed illegal modification. If it was placed in China, it would be forcibly confiscated. If it was placed in the United States, people would be sentenced.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment, and Wang Zhen quickly changed the subject, "Workers Zhang are working together, where do you think is the right place to fly? Don't worry about time and signal issues."

"Ah, okay." The two of them also realized that they were worried. Boss Wang had so many people with guns and was showing off. He was not a good person at first glance.

The two of them were afraid that the drone would fall off because they were not familiar with it, so they did not start operating it. First, they commanded the drone to rise to about 1000 meters and photographed the overall topography of the surroundings. Then they commanded it to land and search and photograph carefully. "It's so useful!"

"Yes, it is much easier to use than our small drone!" The two of them kept sighing, "It can also measure height, altitude, and wind speed!"

"Definitely." Wang Zhen added with a smile, "It was originally modified to be a reconnaissance aircraft. This data is needed to guide mortars and rocket launchers for precise strikes."

In a word, it would be impossible to defeat the two engineers directly.

It took a long time before Mr. Zhang finally managed to say, "It's almost time to use a helicopter!"

"It's better than a helicopter. Helicopters still have terrain requirements for taking off and landing. This one is almost non-existent, and the flight time is incomparable."

Seeing the entangled look of the two of them, Wang Zhen was holding back a laugh.

Even the most professional drones in the hands of the exploration team are incomparable in terms of shooting clarity and battery life. One camera on the T-30 reconnaissance drone can buy several of their professional drones.

"Hydraulic power plant can definitely be built!" Zhang Gong pointed to the river on the monitor and said, "This should be the Kidepo River. This river has two origins, one is in the Kidepo Valley on the east side of Nangai Adam Mountain. National Park, one on the east side of Nangai Adam Mountain.”

"Nangai Adam Mountain is Kineti Mountain, and Nansu and Uganda have different names."

"This is the confluence of two tributaries, and there is an alluvial plain. If developed well, this will be an excellent agricultural base." Zhang Gong said with regret.

"You also said that it needs to be developed well. There are no water conservancy projects in Nansu. Once the rainy season comes, the entire alluvial plain will turn into a swamp." Qi Gong shook his head, pointed to the two tributaries of the Kidepo River and said: "These two The height of each tributary is quite high, enough to build a small hydropower station."

"As for where to build the new camp, it depends on how you choose. I don't recommend the alluvial plain. If you want to develop that area, you can't even think about it without tens of millions of dollars. You must build river dams and reservoirs."

"I know about Nansu. During the rainy season, there is swampland on one side of the road, and a dry land just a few dozen meters across the road, ha!"

Wang Zhen knew that the development of this alluvial plain was not just a water conservancy issue. The swamp here was a grazing area for local indigenous people during the dry season.

If you dare to develop, these people will dare to rebel!

They were all civilians, and Wang Zhen did not dare to use force against these people.

The drone circled around and then went to two iron mines and a copper mine to record and take pictures.

"Old Qi, what do you think?"

"There is no specific data, but... looking at the topography, these two iron mines are probably not the two ends of a vein!" Qi Gong said with a frown.

"I feel the same way, but I have to go and see it in person."

"Good or bad?" Wang Zhen only cares about this.

"How do you know?" Qi Gong shook his head, "If the connection between the middle section is buried deep and the veins are narrow, that would be a bad thing. The reserves of the two iron mines are not big. If it is not buried so deep and is wide enough, it would be a good thing. , this reserve can be much higher than expected.”

"It also depends on the mining conditions. Without specific data, I can't draw a conclusion for you." Qi Gong said very rigorously.

After hearing this, he didn't bother to ask about the situation at the copper mine. "Okay, let's wait for the results of the two explorations. If you need anything from me, just tell me."

"Haha, it's enough to have your drone to cooperate." Zhang Gong said with a smile: "Let's go to the Kidepo River tributary over there and have a look, and we can also choose a good location for you to build the city."

"Let's go." Wang Zhen said, turning around and giving instructions, "Take photos of the terrain and landforms within a 50-kilometer radius and send me the data packets."

After all, open the door and get in the car.

On the way, Qi Gong had nothing to do and asked, "Why are you taking so many videos and photos?"

"Make a detailed map. Without a map, it will be inconvenient to do anything."

"You can also make maps?" Zhang Gong asked in surprise.

"No." Wang Zhen shook his head, "I outsource it to the Army Staff Department of the US military. They have special software to do this, and the various maps are particularly detailed."

Zhang Gongqi Gong's expression was distorted, and he looked at Wang Zhen with his mouth wide open. The US military?Staff?
"Are you sure you're talking about the US military?"

Wang Zhen liked to see the shocked look of these two honest engineers. It was not convenient for him to show off his victory in front of the people who returned home, so he pretended to be cool without even letting him find a chance!

"This is not something confidential. The software is there, and I took the data. They can make a fortune with just a few operations, so why not do it." Wang Zhen said with a proud look on his face.

Zhang Gongqi Gong has a weird expression. It's normal for him to be doing private work, but it's not normal if this person is a US military...

That's the US military!

Across the world!

Distinguished heroes!

He actually does private work like these people...

This strong contrast made the two of them unable to accept it for a while, leaving Wang Zhen alone and contentedly beside him.

I heard that this Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is the new coronavirus?
I don't know if it's true or not...

Anyway, my body hurts, I feel dizzy, I have a bad cough, and even nebulization doesn’t work. (End of chapter)
