Chapter 626 (1/2)
Haiwei sat down and went back. She also understood what Feng said, but she was still a little uncomfortable. Suddenly I felt a warm hand patting on my head. Looking up, I saw zero's face. Zero said faintly: ”remember, we are just passers-by. That's all
”Wait!” Di Lei cried out: ”ladies and gentlemen, I am not doing this for myself, but for our Jialan people. My uncle Horne plans to transport the family's treasures to the mainland to sell, but my grandfather said that these treasures will lead to demons, and eventually lead our family to extinction! I can't let this happen, so I beg you, please help me once
Maple doubts a way: ”what treasure is so fierce, return to call the devil!”
”This is a, we call it green crystal!” He took out a small bottle from his bra, and in her hands, there was a little thing like crystal stone in the bottle. The whole body is called dark green, crystal clear, with green fluorescence passing through the stone texture from time to time, beautiful and mysterious.
”What is this?” Maple squeezed past to ask.
It seems that di Lei is not used to being so close to men. Two red clouds float on her dark face. She leaned back slightly and said, ”these things, if used properly, can be used to do a lot of things. One of the most widely used is to make fire. The eternal flame in our family is the credit of green crystal. As long as a little bit, it can make the flame burn for a long time, so as to drive out the darkness and wild animals! ”
She said she was going to pull the cork out of the bottle.
”Wait, don't open it!” Billy suddenly yelled. He stumbled over and even pulled the maple out of his usual etiquette. Then he held the crystal in Devi's bottle and looked at it. Billy's hands trembled when he saw the prismatic crystal. He turned to zero and said excitedly, ”my Lord, it's not a crystal. It's green uranium!”
”Uranium?”
In turbulent times, uranium is a valuable and rare ore. It is the fuel of nuclear power plant and can play a huge role. Naturally, there are also uranium deposits on the continent of Zhongzhou, and even ludugnia holds two large uranium deposits. The emergence of uranium has also provided a powerful impetus for the progress of this era. Before the Fourth Era civilization found a way to directly convert energy from light energy, nuclear energy will be the most powerful energy in this era. Therefore, the importance of uranium is self-evident.
I didn't expect that the treasure of their family was uranium. Naturally, no one would think too much of this precious mineral. From Billy and everyone's reaction, Deere seems to realize something. She quickly put the bottle of green uranium back into her breast. The radiation of this kind of thing is very strong, but the strange thing is that Billy's radiation reaction machine has not prompted. Obviously, the bottle is a special isolation vessel, which reduces the radioactivity of uranium to the safety standard line, even if it is not completely isolated.
It seems that the Kalan people are very primitive in both clothing and weapons, and their technology in uranium alone is far more advanced than that of a primitive tribe. I don't know how many people have been sacrificed to achieve this.
The crowd dispersed, went over, squatted down and said to dirai, ”your grandfather is right. This kind of thing will really provoke the devil. I can tell you that your green crystal is a kind of precious energy fuel for us on the mainland. We can even go to war for it, even if we wipe you from the island, we will get it! ”
All of a sudden, di Lei was shocked. She looked at the entrance of the cave and obviously had the idea to leave. Zero shook his head and said: ”don't go out. It's raining outside now. It's raining in the radiation rain. It can't last more than 12 hours with your body strength.”
Sitting down in front of Dilei, zero said: ”I want to make a deal with you. If you agree, I can help you return to the position of patriarch. But before that, I need to know your attitude. ”
”Attitude?”
”Yes, or the way you treat your uncle horn. What will you do with your uncle if you help you regain the position of patriarch? ” Asked zero.
Dilei thought about it and whispered: ”he is always my last relative in the world. If I can, I want to imprison him or exile him...”
”If so, I'm sorry. I can't help you, I'll leave, and then wave troops to attack, flatten you Jiali, and take this precious uranium mine! ” Zero's eyes sent out the light of awe inspiring absolute resolution, like a sharp sword deeply into the girl's heart.
Haiwei wants to stand up and speak for Dilei, but Yeliu catches her. Looking at Yeliu, the latter shakes her head, and the girl has to sit back.
”No, please,” she said in a hurry
”Now you know, the world is very cruel. There are more powerful people than you. It's no exaggeration to say that just any one of us here is enough to make you exterminate. What I want to do with you is to buy green uranium from here by regular commercial means with equivalent materials or other things you need. You can live a better life without worrying about the destruction of green uranium. I can even garrison troops here to protect uranium mines and you. But these things must be based on the premise that you have the responsibility and capacity of a patriarch! ”Deere obviously didn't understand and looked helplessly at zero.
Zero knows that, strictly speaking, dirai is just a child. It's too heavy for her to bear these things now. But her grandfather has died, lost the asylum, there is no time for her to grow up. Whether she is willing or not, if she wants to live, she can only carry these things, otherwise she can only be abandoned by this cruel era. So zero continued: ”you have the responsibility of patriarch, but it's not enough. Take your uncle for example. He wants to kill you. You just imprison or exile him. I'm not saying that your benevolence and righteousness are wrong. It's just that you don't use them properly. If you do this, I can be 100% sure that he will come back to kill you! In that case, my help to you is totally meaningless, isn't it? ”
Di Lei is absent-minded and sits down on the ground with a twinkling look in her eyes. It is obvious that she is struggling in her heart.
”Once, a friend told me. Under the throne of power must be made of blood and bones. Throughout history, there has never been a record of winning power by peaceful means. Sitting in the supreme position, one has to shoulder more than others. But as long as you believe that you are right and can bring happiness to the people you protect, then let go. Even behind you, you must bear the eyes of those who are watching you in hell Zero sink voice way: ”this is so-called measure!”
With that, he went back: ”you have a night to think about it. Think about it and tell me when you have the answer.”
Sit back to Leah, who looks at him. With a smile, he said, ”are you thinking about why I didn't want to get involved before, but now when I hear about uranium, I become more active?”
Leah didn't answer, but she said, ”I didn't want to get involved because I didn't want to waste my resources and time on something. But since there are uranium mines in the Kalan people, it's different. In other words, they have the value of stopping me! ”
”It sounds philistine. I'm like a haggard businessman. But it's also true, if I only want to be a lord, or just a noble. So I can even help her with things like dilly without asking for anything in return. But the way I want to go is not the way of benevolence. I'm racing against time. I need to hold all the resources tightly in my hand, make good use of every strength and make good use of every move. Seize every opportunity to grow and grow, so I'm not destined to take the road of benevolence, but the road of hegemony. ” Zero said: ”it seems to be threatening this little girl, but at least, it's better for her to trade with me than to be killed by others. Maybe I'll get names and stains on my back, but I don't care so much... ”
As zero said, he's on a hegemonic path. On this road, there will never be less blood and sacrifice. He has the consciousness of carrying these things, and is he afraid of another charge of coercion?
