Chapter 771: The Solidified Blood World
Since she suffered a small loss after fighting Yin Hongcha last time, Li Xiuyan has held a grudge, and hearing this girl's name is like being beaten with chicken blood.
"But now that we're diplomats, why don't we take into account some diplomatic etiquette? Fight when you meet. Chen Taiyuan smiled bitterly, "And she didn't have the slightest provocation this time, she was purely here to discuss cooperation." ”
The question that Yin Black Tea wants to discuss is very simple and heavy - food.
"What?" Jian Wu was stunned for a moment, "Supposedly, shouldn't Caitlyn, the administrative minister of the New Human Organization, come to negotiate with us for this kind of thing?" Why did you send Yin Hongcha, the captain of the guard? ”
Chen Taiyuan smiled: "This time she did not come as the captain of the guard, but as the plenipotentiary representative of the ancestor. And this is only a preliminary agreement, only when the final signing of the cooperation will be officially signed by the administration department and our side. It can be seen that this iceberg chick is very trusted in front of the ancestors. ”
It turned out that this was the case, and Jian Wu was still puzzled: "Didn't we strictly implement the plan of exchanging oil for grain at the beginning?" Even now, food continues to flow to them. The most important thing is that their own agricultural production has gradually recovered, and it is said that they are gradually becoming self-sufficient. ”
Chen Taiyuan shook his head: "No, it can only be said that the food of the human beings under their jurisdiction has been basically guaranteed, but the food of the blood clan is getting less and less. ”
The food of the Bloodline, of course, refers to blood.
Although they also eat ordinary food, they must be replenished with fresh blood on a regular basis, otherwise there will be a deterioration of bodily functions. Not only will your strength slowly run out, but you will even gradually become a kind of monster that loses its mind and attacks wildly.
It's just that at the beginning, they were very few in number, and they lurked in the human society with a huge population base, so they didn't have to worry about the blood supply - if they got rid of the corrupt elements in a hospital or blood bank, they could ensure the blood consumption of a family.
But now it's different, the area under the jurisdiction of the New Human Organization is too large, and the vampires have no natural predators and are growing wildly. In order to expand their strength, each vampire family develops its descendants like wild grasses.
Take the current New West Base City as an example, due to the surge in the number of blood clans themselves, coupled with the unnatural death of human beings, the number of blood clans has accounted for nearly ten percent of the entire population.
"Yikes! What the? Li Xiuyan was taken aback, "Last time we came here, didn't we say about one percent?" ”
Yes, but a large number of descendants can be developed in a few months, and the geometric growth is exponential. On the contrary, humans often die of infection due to bites, or are directly bitten to death by rude blood-sucking methods, and some escape...... At this rate, there will probably be more vampires than humans in the end.
"A wolf mixed in a hundred sheep is not a problem to eat and drink. But if there are sixty or seventy wolves and only thirty or forty sheep, then the wolves will eventually die. ”
In this society where violence is the strongest, more people means security, expansion, hegemony, interests, and so on.
This model of brutal development is similar to the way of clan survival in the old society. At the beginning, wasn't it just a competition in the countryside to see who had more sons and who had more strong labor, and who was talking in the village?
So even though the New Humanity Organization has repeatedly admonished it, it has never had any effect. On the contrary, the more restrained you are, the more crazy the development of the various clans of the blood clan becomes. Everyone has a concept in their subconscious: if the official does not let us do it, there must be benefits, and since this is the case, we must insist on doing it!
"They should really implement the family planning policy." Sword Dance said coldly.
Chen Taiyuan smiled: "Even if this was implemented at the beginning, how many people were stealing?" Not to mention that in the realm controlled by the New Human Organization, it is impossible to be so forcefully restricted. Therefore, the imbalance between the blood clan and the human race on their side is inevitable, and it is bound to intensify. In the end, the human race is not as large as the number of blood clans, who do they eat? ”
Actually, that's a good thing, right? Li Xiuyan said. After all, once a vampire has this kind of food crisis, it will inevitably be in internal chaos and perish on its own.
"No, whenever those in power encounter internal difficulties, they will always create some contradictions and even start wars to transfer contradictions and divert attention. At that time, the new human organization will not be able to support itself, and they will definitely export war to the human camp. Hundreds of millions of vampires are killing all over the world, and it's enough for us. ”
I'm rubbing, this is simply a rogue trick - you can't solve your own problems, so you bring a large army to the human camp to grab "food"?
But there is no way to do it, even the ancestors may not be able to control the situation. The people live on food, and the same goes for vampires, they also have to fill their stomachs, and they dare to do anything without eating for three days.
"We've got a base city over there." Lee so-yeon said, "Fortunately, this one was established, and even if the vampires came to attack in the future, it would be much safer to hide in the city." ”
"It can only be said that it will make the casualties of the human camp smaller, but it will not be without losses." Chen Taiyuan said worriedly, "Numbers, they will attack the base city with a large number of vampires. Millions? Or even hundreds of millions? Each one has a powerful single combat ability and can even fly ...... Which base city can stop it? They would be like a horrible swarm of locusts, flying over a base city, leaving behind a pile of bones! ”
What's worse is that in the defense of each base city, can you determine how many of them will be killed? As long as they are breached, how many vampire troops can the twenty or thirty million humans in the city replenish them?
As a result, the number of vampire legions will increase instead of decreasing, while the number of humans will become smaller and smaller.
"What a damn thing!" Li Xiuyan said angrily, "If the military hadn't been so stubborn at the beginning, and now there are tens of thousands of Qi cultivators in each base city, it would be a different situation. What's more, even if the war broke out, it would be in the future, and how much would the Qi Cultivators develop at that time? ”
If there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of qi masters in the city, the situation would certainly be different. Relying on the defense of the base city, coupled with the crazy firepower of the regular army, the defense of each base city will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Even if the vampires were to besiege with ten times the number of people, they would not be able to put themselves in position. And once dozens or millions of vampires are assembled, the human camp can angrily use weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear bombs.
Therefore, as long as there are tens of thousands of Qi Cultivators in the city, this base city can basically sit back and relax. However, it is too late to regret it all now.
Chen Taiyuan also wants to immediately report back to the country about the bad situation on the vampire's side, so that the supernatural war command center can know about it. Let's see if the ban on cultivation is lifted and the scope and number of people cultivating are expanded. Of course, this is the collective discussion of the entire high-level collective, and Chen Taiyuan is only making suggestions here.
It's late afternoon, which is the equivalent of the early morning for the Bloodline, and the busy day is about to begin.
Due to the different schedules and rests of everyone, it is still Chen Taiyuan's suggestion: as long as it is not an emergency negotiation in the future, then it is best to arrange the general meeting between 7 and 11 o'clock in the evening.
For the embassy staff, this time is more or less enough to maintain enough energy; And for the Bloodline, it's about the same as a human morning.
Yin Hongcha still met Chen Taiyuan at the original "Imperial Palace", which is now called "Summer Palace", which means hot summer weather, and the ancestors would often live here to escape the heat - although this old monster is more heat-resistant than the average blood clan. After all, it was the territory of Russia at the beginning, very far north, and the weather was generally cold.
And the building has continued to be renovated, and it really has more and more of a palace. This palace is about three or four kilometers away from the embassy area where Chen Taiyuan lives, and it will take a while to drive a small car.
It's still a dinner party, and it's also the place where Li Xiuyan and Yin Black Tea had a conflict last time. This time, Chen Taiyuan didn't bring the troublemaker, but only came here with the sword dance.
In fact, Chen Taiyuan should have informed Ambassador Yang, after all, it was a major matter to negotiate the development of the blood clan and the cooperation of the human race, and Ambassador Yang, as the head of the embassy, should participate. But Yin Hongcha is so straightforward, she knows the weight of Chen Taiyuan's words, so she talks to Chen Taiyuan directly, and she is not afraid of offending Ambassador Yang.
"Please sit down, that's the food here, we've tried to find a decent chef in the East." Yin Hongcha, as the host of the treat, said such a crisp word directly and her voice was cold, which made people always feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Chen Taiyuan and Jian Wu both knew her character.
In front of her, there was a glass of blood at least thirty degrees Celsius, apparently just released from the human body.
The slender but calloused hand gently shakes the goblet like a human decanting when drinking wine. Because, according to the blood clan, the blood temperature is between twenty-six and twenty-eight degrees Celsius is the best drinking temperature. Too low a temperature means it's not as fresh anymore, and too high a temperature is contrary to the vampire's colder body temperature, and the taste is a little compromised.
As for the category of blood, the blood family has also been slowly divided according to race. I don't know which racist came up with the standard that actually said that the blood of the Oriental pure-blood race is the highest grade, the blood of the white Europeans and Americans is the second grade, the Oriental non-pure-blood is the third grade, and so on.
The so-called Oriental pureblood actually refers to the Chinese side; As for the non-pure-bloods in the East, they refer to the survivors of the original island nations, Southeast Asia, South Asia, etc.
Chen Taiyuan feels that in fact, their division is not necessarily because of taste, but only because of the basic principle of "rare things are expensive". After all, it is very difficult to catch people and suck blood in the Eastern Base City now, and basically no vampire can eat it; However, places like South Asia and Southeast Asia are not managed, and it is easy to capture blood food.
In Europe and the United States, those Terran blood food are officially controlled by the New Human Organization, and the supply is limited and indiscriminate killing is prohibited, so the difficulty is between Eastern pure-blood and non-pure-blood...... That's how it should be, anyway.
But within the same category, not all blood is of the same grade. Just because French wine is good, it doesn't mean that any wine produced in France is better than China.
For example, among each major category of blood, the blood of virgins between the ages of fourteen and eighteen is the best and the highest grade; And the blood of the old, weak, sick and disabled is, of course, the lowest grade. Naturally, a very complicated evaluation level is set in the middle, and it is said that under the five major races, each race has a blood of six grades!
For example, although the Oriental pureblood is the most "delicious", its sixth class is not as good as the top five of the European and American races, nor as the top four of the Oriental non-pure blood, in short, it is complicated to death.
Drinking blood has been made out of all kinds of rules like the tea ceremony, and even the so-called art of taste, they themselves think that this is style and elegance, but in fact this is a kind of death, and it is a cruel death.
However, it also shows that this society with vampires as the main body is forming and solidifying.
What Yin Hongcha shook gently in his hand was the first-class blood of the European race, which was equivalent to the second-class of Oriental pureblood, second only to the first-class of Oriental pureblood.
This is the etiquette of the Blood Clan, and the Oriental pureblood is not used when banqueting the members of the embassy, as a sign of respect for the Eastern human camp. In addition to the Oriental pure blood, the best choice is naturally to use the first-class blood of European and American races.
