Ark, a chat group for gamers

"Strategic level." Bozhuo Kasti and his leader looked at each other: "Both the leader and I have witnessed the power of Ursus, and we know its strength well, even if it is involved in seeming to be exhausted right now. , but it is still not an enemy we can confront head-on.”

The gray-haired girl, Tallulah, the true leader of the integration movement, took up the topic: "Besides, the conflicts in Ursus just need a point of release.

"War, they need a war, an external war that can release domestic pressure and contradictions - and the war against the infected just satisfies all these."

Tallulah pursed her lips, her expression was inevitably a little sad, but her voice was still firm: "This is an unsolvable situation. I have oppressed the infected for too long, and it has become a habit for so long. As far as the people of Ursus are concerned, they will not realize that Ursus’s strong suppression of us is a bad thing.”

Lao Hou raised his head and looked at Talula, and after she finished speaking, he said softly: "I think the two of you have overlooked one thing.

"Infected people are not the only targets oppressed by the Ursas government. In fact, many ordinary people who are not infected have also encountered such oppression.

"However, Ursus cut and alienated the infected, making them unable to recognize that they share the same identity with each other - the oppressed."

Bozhuo Kasi shook his head. Although he was born in the army, his long life span allowed him to see many things: "But this cognitive barrier is really too difficult to break."

"No, it's easy to break." Hou Dao shook his head: "In fact, right now, Ursus is hammering this barrier with his own hands, but in another way.

"You two haven't paid attention to things in the south for a while. Maybe you don't know that some cities in Ursas have passed several laws. These laws can more effectively exploit the infected and their relatives and friends around them."

Hou Dao sat up straight, and said slowly: "Not only that, they completely turned the right to interpret the infected people into a black box-this is the core of these bills."

"Black box?"

Everyone in the central control room looked at each other, and they all saw a little confusion in each other's eyes.

"This is easy to understand." Hou Dao tilted his head, and then a conscript with a figure as straight as a pine tree came from outside the door: "For example, now I think this soldier is an infected person.

"Then, regardless of whether he has a medical certificate or passes the examination, his personal file will be directly classified as an infected person, and all his property and social status will be wasted."

"This..." Talula lost her voice, and she couldn't accept it: "It wasn't like this before..."

"That was also in the past, but it is precisely because of the inertia left over from the past that the black box runs extremely smoothly."

Hou Dao pointed at the large screen on the central control room with his paw: "In my camp, one-third of the people were not diagnosed as infected before coming to Pevek.

"And among these one-third people, 90% are employees in the primary and secondary industries. These people come from various cities in Ursus, but their experiences here are very similar."

The orange cat tried hard to raise his fingers and made a counting motion. This scene looked extremely funny, but it was extraordinarily cold and biting when matched with what he said:

"First, reduce the working conditions, and start to improve efficiency and profit first, and start to continuously compress the work safety rules-can you imagine that they shortened the time to check the cylinder of the city's origin energy engine furnace from 8 minutes to 90 seconds?

"Designate various harsh work rules, and stick to the illegal border at the lower limit of these rules, and at the same time start to form a large number of trade unions to divide the workers in the industry, so that they cannot truly synthesize a voice to fight for their own interests.

"Then, there are accidents in a high-pressure working environment, or... various other accidents. In short, when an accident occurs, the identity of these workers will be immediately interpreted as infected."

Hou Dao looked at the silent crowd around him, and saw the anger and bewilderment in their eyes: "And because of the promulgation of the new law, all infected people are not entitled to enjoy various insurance and social rights.

"The companies don't even have to pay these workers anything, they can just as easily kick them out and charge them a fee."

"Charge a fee?" Bozhuo Casti's voice was low, and every word he said was very hard.

"Yes, think about it, you participated in a project as a worker, and then due to your personal reasons, a major safety accident occurred in this project, which led to the suspension of work for rectification."

Hou Dao grinned the corner of his mouth, as if laughing lowly: "So, don't you need to compensate the company?"

There was no sound, everyone in the venue fell into silence, and a thought was spreading that the world in front of them was so absurd that he could no longer recognize it at all.

"Everyone, this is the current situation in Ursus. Infected people are a sad reality and objective disease for you, but for the nobles in the south, infected people are a very good tool.

"One sentence of infected people is enough to calm public opinion, suppress sympathy, and solve the economic crisis. What a wonderful tool."

Hou Dao looked at the big screen, and the surveillance camera captured the picture of the camp, with smoke billowing from the kitchen and lights from all houses:

"And this may be the reason why I came here. I want to repair tens of thousands of street lights in every city, and have a good time."

The orange cat turned to look at Bozhuo Casti, and said in a deep voice: "Wendigo, I never thought of breaking any barriers, nor did I think of implanting the idea that all people are created equal in this land, nor I never wanted to cause another trend of thought in this world.

"I am a selfish and extremely paranoid guy. I came here just to kill people, kill more people, kill the people I want to kill, and leave no one behind.

"So I need a reason, a reason that allows me to do it openly, because it doesn't work if I am the only one killing people. I want everyone to kill people together."

He pointed to the strategic map on the edge of the big screen, and said with a smirk: "So, I want to let them know that it's much harder to survive in the wilderness in the snow than to resist the Ursus army."

After a moment of silence, Bozhuo Kasti said: "This is too difficult. After all, there is an indelible gap between the regular army and the civilians..."

"Yeah, I know."

Hou Dao raised his head and interrupted Bozhuo Kasti's words: "I have personally experienced the strength of inner guards, and they are natural disasters for ordinary people, but that doesn't matter.

"If you are all going to die, then which way will you choose to die? Will you be put into your mouth like sugar cane by those people, chewed out the last bit of juice, and then spit out directly from your mouth and fall to the ground to die; or will you die for yourself, Fight for the future for your own descendants and more people who will come after you, and die vigorously on the charge of struggle?

"I would choose the latter.

"As for everyone, and the cooperation plans you have proposed, I only have one question to ask - are you willing to kill people with me?"

No one answered, and after a long silence, only the Elafia girl sighed, but that was all.

The answer is already clear.

"Then everyone, allow me to introduce myself again."

Lao Hou jumped down from Talulah's arms and walked to the center of the control room. Then the optical lens used to project the virtual sand table changed its direction, and twelve figures appeared around Hou Dao.

"I, Hou Dao, founder and commander-in-chief of Iron Ambition, one of the thirteen pillars of the world tree Yggdrasil.

"Welcome to re-understand this world where you should kill and kill."

Chapter 168 You Can't Hope Your Brother's Life Will Be Better

Hou Dao sat in the commander's seat of the MCV, squinting his eyes and thinking about the conversation just now.

Judging from the results, the other party did not reject his proposal, and both Bozhuo Kasti and Tallulah showed a clear sense of movement.

Smash an old world and create a new one where even the infected can survive.

This alone is enough for them to cooperate with Hou Dao.

In addition to some concerns about Hou Dao itself, Hou Dao can also understand that they still have some reasons for being indecisive.

Without him, the strength of Ursus is too strong, and this old empire is far from being called fallen.

It is still sharp and capable of bulldozing any foe who dares to mock its bloat and slowness.

"Someone will die." Hou Dao leaned down and said to himself: "Criticism will not make them restrain, waiting will not make the ending turn to the direction they expected, and patience will not change the traditional thinking.

"Putting yourself in the position of a complete victim will not bring benefits other than hypocritical pity-this is really not a dinner party, only vigorous change can push the wheels forward.

"Then, it's really time to roll your head."

Hou Dao raised his head and looked at the strategic map on the big screen again, looking at the mobile city Pevek nailed like a spike on the border of the snowfield: "The next step is to enter the customs."

Swah——

The door to the central control room was opened, and a mobilization soldier wearing a Soviet military uniform came over. After saluting Hou Dao, he placed a report document in front of Hou Dao: "Report to Commander, Scout No. [-] The team and the No. [-] Scout Team each sent back a piece of information.”

"read."

"Yes! Commander." The conscript took the initiative to open the document, then picked up an infrared laser pointer from the desktop, and pointed to the map on the big screen: "The No. Strange frost and feathers were found in the area, and a suspected frost-winged wind drifter was observed with the naked eye in the G area. According to the path, the frost-winged wind drifter has a high probability of invading the trajectory of Pevek Mobile City.

"When the No. [-] scout team conducted a re-examination in the C area, it was found that the high-altitude cumulus clouds had dissipated in a large area due to unknown reasons. After nightfall, the No. [-] scout team found a strange optical phenomenon in the C area. The team is currently conducting exploration work.

"The above is the information returned by the two teams."

Hou Dao stared at this information and couldn't help but lick his paws. This was his habit when he was thinking: "Do the dissipation of cumulus clouds and optical phenomena in Area C have something to do with the Frostwing Wind Drifting Dragon?"

"Reporting to the commander, there is currently no definite evidence that there is a relationship between the two."

"Hmm..." Hou Dao looked at the map. After pondering for a moment, he patted the table with a meat pad: "Deploy a multi-functional infantry vehicle from the patrol team and surround a frontline engineer team to support Area C. The optical I’m a little concerned about the anomaly, and I want to find out how it works.”

"Yes!"

"As for the Frostwing Wind Drifter, don't worry about it. If it collides with Pevek, it will also help us consume Pevek's city defense power. If it fails to collide, there will naturally be other People will clean it up, we don't need to do it."

"Follow your orders, Commander."

After giving the order, Hou Dao breathed out a breath and started planning again in his mind.

The war is about to break out, and the primary goal now is to find a location with a suitable distance and build the various production buildings again.

Before being chased around by Ursus's inner guards, the production capacity buildings could only be built in a hurry, and after building a few combat units such as armored vehicles and conscripts, they had to be dismantled and moved to another position, but now they can finally be spread out. up.

So the question is, where is there a suitable place to drive down the mine near here?

……

The worker bees are digging underground. They use their sharp and hard teeth to break through the rock formations, and directly swallow the gravel into their stomachs. After being mixed with gastric secretions, they directly form a high-strength rock wall reinforcement glue. , these mud glue will be sprayed from the tail of the worker bees to quickly reinforce the newly dug channel.

There are a plurality of worker bees digging in each channel. Whenever the capacity of their stomachs is full of available minerals, they will retreat and let other worker bees behind them take over, and so on.

Their scope of work has been expanded, no longer limited to the area covered by the World Tree, the passages they dug out are like new roots of the World Tree, spreading outward in unknown places.

Suddenly, a worker bee stopped, reached into its mouth with its pair of pliers, and pulled out the piece of ore with an unusually bad taste from the gap between its teeth.

This ore has a strange bluish-white luster, a mineral that worker bees have never seen before.

"What kind of mine is this?" Jiuyue's consciousness was projected onto the worker bee, and he observed it with some doubts: "Although it looks like a mineral from MC, but...why doesn't it look familiar at all?

"Forget it, put it away first, and then show Lin Zi what kind of mine it is. Maybe it's a new MOD that he has tinkered with."

The worker bees checked the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no other ore clusters, they left the mine tunnel and returned directly to the height of the hatching nest with a full belly of minerals.

Then, it was the work of sorting the minerals. This special ore was picked out separately, carried by a springtail and ran directly to the trunk of the World Tree.

After unlocking the speed-up technology, the speed of the Zergling is much faster than that of the minecart. When faced with some goods that need to be transferred quickly, the Zergling is obviously more efficient.

Soon, after some transfers, the ore came into the hands of the Queen of Insects in September.

Jiuyue took this ore to the villagers' living area. She remembered that a few hours ago, Lin Luo said that she would go to see the working conditions of the villagers.

Since the current size of the village is extremely small, with only two villagers living here, September found Lin Luo without any effort.

At this time, Lin Luo was standing next to Chishima Yoko, inspecting a freshly baked obsidian pickaxe.

"A lot of progress has been made." Lin Luo tapped the body of the pickaxe with his finger: "The quality of the finished product is very high, and the output rate is also very stable. It should be said that I want to congratulate you on your successful entry into the hall of craftsmen."

Chishima Yoko smirked, and grabbed her sleeves a little embarrassedly.

Lin Luo was quite satisfied. With the completion of this obsidian pickaxe, Chishima Yoko finally entrusted his apprenticeship as an apprentice blacksmith, and was promoted to the junior level just like Michurin.

And you must know that unlike Michurin, Chishima Yoko can be said to have started from scratch in the aspect of craftsman soul, and can reach the level of junior craftsman at such a fast speed. Aside from the blessing of emeralds, Chishima Daizi's own talent is also crucial.

Of course, this can't get rid of Lin Luo's constant feeding of high-level weapon templates for her to practice.

"Hey! Linzi, busy."

September walked to the door of the blacksmith shop and greeted the two people inside.

After letting Daiko Chidao, who nodded and saluted, go to rest, Lin Luo looked at Jiuyue: "I just corrected a wave of homework... Did something happen?"

"The worker bees dug up a strange thing." September threw the ore to Lin Luo: "I haven't seen it before. Which module did you knock twice?"

Lin Luo raised his hand to catch the ore and held it in front of his eyes for inspection: "This pattern looks a bit like dilithium ore?"

September has never heard of this kind of ore: "What is that?"

"It can only be said to be a good thing." Lin Luo put it in his backpack and refreshed his permissions: "The name is indeed dilithium ore, but I don't know if it is from that module, so a small experiment is required. "

"So, which module is it?"

Lin Luo pointed to the Craftsman's Soul smelting furnace on the side: "An accessory module of the Craftsman's Soul, called the Craftsman's Soul Alloy Attachment - you don't play many Craftsman's Soul accessories, so it's normal that you have never seen this dilithium ore."

After hearing about the mod of Craftsman Soul, Jiuyue lost interest immediately, because the equipment of Craftsman Soul is basically not used by her, and it doesn’t taste good:

"Is that subsidiary very powerful, allowing you to remember it so clearly?"

"That's more than amazing." Lin Luo shook his head: "Do you still remember an integration pack with a parasitic beast module that I played before, and the virtual gold tip that can stack infinite damage was taken out of this accessory? .”

Since there were quite a lot of black MCs in the past, after thinking about it for a while in September, I remembered a team building that fit the description.

It's just that compared to the Artisan Soul attachment, she is very interested in another theme of the integration package:

"Hey Linzi, do you think that parasitic beasts can also be squeezed out by you, for example, your next punishment module is this thing..."

"Can't you expect something good?!"

Chapter 169 This village will be called Academy City from now on

Craftsman Soul, a module with a guaranteed lower limit and a high upper limit, but its lower limit comes from Craftsman Soul itself, while the upper limit depends on the vast number of subsidiary modules of Craftsman Soul.

Leaving aside the two powerful attachments of Craftsman Soul Evolution and Craftsman Soul Armor, which still haven't been seen, this just-appeared Craftsman Soul Alloy Add-On is already an excellent module for increasing the upper limit.
