Chapter 10 (II) Dragon Island

The Resistance Army is not as good as the Soviet Union back then, and the economic level of the Soviet Union can still be maintained at a certain level, even if it plummets, there will be a period of time, but the Resistance Army is different, it seems that they have a large rear and logistics, but in fact, all these things are used to maintain the military, which is exactly the same as North Korea back then. Without a correct judgment of overall strength, they blindly increased the scale of their own military, which eventually led to the collapse of the economy.

The military is a basic way to maintain national defense and deter war, but at the same time, it must also be balanced with the lives of the people. Otherwise, once there is a big deviation in the scale, it will fundamentally affect the development of the economy.

In history, after the start of global industry, almost energy has become the lifeblood of the economy, whoever controls energy, who has mastered a qiฤ“, without energy, no matter how powerful your country is, it will be paralyzed in an instant and become an ornament.

"Therefore, the focus now is on new energy, on the one hand, they are still looking for new energy, and at the same time, they are also looking for other relics about ancient humans, so as to dig out the accurate use of the four holy relics, as long as they find it, they can swallow the resistance army in one bite without any scruples, and now, they need the resistance army to maintain the war situation." Gu Yan explained in detail.

Tang Shuxing looked at Gu Yan and asked, "What does it mean to maintain the battle situation?" โ€

"Shangdu unified the world, if there were no natural disasters in the world, then they might have done the resistance army a long time ago, but because of the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, they kept giving up the places they occupied before, and at the same time, Shangdu's domestic economic situation is not good, because a single country can't talk about foreign trade and so on. Coupled with the fact that the situation continues to deteriorate, there will also be infinite contradictions within the country, and as long as the resistance forces survive, they can transfer this contradiction to the past. Gu Yan shook his head and said, "Just fight with a few brothers in the family for the family property, fight back and forth, there are outsiders, and they have to fight, at this time, the brothers can only work together to deal with outsiders, and they will also give a time period to resolve the conflict." Or it's a temporary cover-up. โ€

Tang Shuxing thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. However, I wondered, what exactly do you Chichen want to do? โ€

"We have to maintain a balance until we find a complete solution." Gu Yan looked at Tang Shuxing. "Surprised, right? We are not on the side of the Resistance. Nor is he on the side of Shandu. โ€

Tang Shuxing was not surprised. Just sat directly on the cold chair, looked at Gu Yan and said, "This is very in line with Zhan Tianya's always working standards, but I still can't figure out what you want to do." You use me as a sword, and you have to explain why you use me as a gunman, right? At least I'm not your enemy, am I? โ€

"You'll know when you get there." Gu Yan still replied, "Because this matter must depend on you." โ€

"Rely on me? I won't explain it again, but I'll talk about it when the time comes, depending on my mood. Tang Shuxing also deliberately pretended to be careless.

The broken ship staggered in the sea for more than an hour, and finally came to the Dragon Island that Gu Yan said.

The island used to be a nameless island, but after the discovery of coal, the Russians and Americans mined here, and after digging for many years, not to mention the coal, dinosaur fossils were also dug up, and then the scientific research organizations and businessmen began to quarrel over whether the island was used for research or mining, and the matter even caused the United Nations at the time to intervene to solve the problem - because the Russians and Americans began to join forces to use force to expel the scientific scholars.

In the end, under the mediation of the United States, Britain, Russia, and Norway, to which the archipelago belongs, the two sides reached an agreement, and the mining company must notify the scientific research organization as soon as it finds fossils, and the scientific research organization can only excavate certain places and pay a certain amount of money after consulting with the other company, after all, the development of the island is in the hands of the other party.

"You know what? A fairly complete dinosaur fossil has been excavated on this island, and the body of this velociraptor is still very complete. Gu Yan was on the boat, putting on his equipment and checking his weapons.

Tang Shuxing had already finished dressing, yawned and said, "There is still such a thing? Do you say it or not, what are you doing here? You said you came to Dragon Island to look for fossils, I think you just said it to the Earth Emperor, and you told me that you came to find new fuel, but I still don't believe it. โ€

After Gu Yan pulled the zipper, he put on his multi-functional backpack and said, "Okay, I'll be honest, I'm bringing you to dive." โ€

"Diving?" Tang Shuxing's mind was in a mess, so he had to follow Gu Yan towards the center of the island, at this time the snow wind had already blown, and in another two hours, the snow wind would increase several times, and at that time, even if it was two people close at hand, one would be separated if one was not careful, and then it would soon be covered by heavy snow and become a frozen corpse.

The two of them couldn't speak at all, all that held them together was a rope, Gu Yan looked at the small instrument in his hand as he walked, and walked towards the front. After walking for a long time, they could already see abandoned machinery everywhere, most of which were wrapped in a layer of ice, and many houses had collapsed due to the thick snow, and only some large shipping containers could support them.

Gu Yan pointed to the location of the container, signaling them to go there first to hide from the wind and snow, and then walked over with Tang Shuxing, and the two of them worked together to pull the container door open, and then went in and closed the door.

After closing the door, Gu Yan pulled out the incendiary rod, looked at the instruments that had long been frozen in this container, and then smiled: "Do you think a mining company will use these high-precision instruments here?" โ€

Tang Shuxing looked closer, although he didn't understand, but he also knew that mining would definitely not need these things, like medical equipment, but he didn't understand how he could stay here?

"There are a lot of secrets on this island, and there are other things besides coal and fossils." Gu Yan stood there and smiled, "Before the outbreak of the war, this was an absolute secret between the United States and Russia, and a separate intelligence department was in charge, and even the president and the group of people in the White House didn't know about it, just to keep it secret, the people who studied here stayed here for more than ten years and never left, listening to the boss." Whoever dares to leave without permission will be killed directly, and then it will be said that he is missing in the snow and wind. โ€

Tang Shuxing looked around, and suddenly turned around and said, "You want to say that this is where the remains of ancient humans are?" โ€

Gu Yan smiled: "You have finally opened your mind, such a simple question, you only understand it now?" โ€

Tang Shuxing shook his head: "Where is it?" Underneath the mine? โ€

"No, it's not, the whole island is a ruin, because the coal dug up in it has never been shipped out. Everything that leaves the island is subject to strict scrutiny. Gu Yan looked around. This secret was unknown even to the Earth Emperor himself, and before the outbreak of the Great War, all the people here were dead and exterminated. The group of agents who participated in the extermination operation were completely brainwashed. He then committed suicide as well. They thought the secret was never known again, but one man survived. โ€

Tang Shuxing looked at Gu Yan: "Survived one?" How did you get out? โ€

"It's a woman, Vivien. It's a biological scientist, at that time she had a disease, a strange disease, worried about being infected, so she was isolated, in fact, everyone was tantamount to giving up on her, because it was impossible to find a good special medical team to treat her, that would leak secrets, so Vivian ran away in advance, this woman's life was big, it was summer, she swam to another island, survived in a warehouse, but got Yan zhรฒng's pneumonia. Gu Yan looked at a compression box next to her, "Subsequently, she searched for a long time on that island, and finally found a hiding place, which was called 'Doomsday Bank'. โ€

"What?" Tang Shuxing leaned to the side and felt a piece of chocolate in the entrance of the fortress.

"Doomsday Bank!" Gu Yan rubbed his hands, "Also known as the Global Seed Bank, this project cost tens of millions of dollars was built in the cave of that island, because it is not easily affected by the outside temperature, and even if there is no electricity, the seeds can be continuously stored in a low temperature environment." The outside world knows that the warehouse was built in 2007, claiming that it was completed in 2008, but in fact it was built until 2015, which stored the seeds of 4.5 million crops on the earth, but it was worried that environmental changes or disasters would lead to the extinction of crop species, in fact, there was also a biological gene bank, and the DNA of all the creatures that could be found on the earth was stored in that place, and the latter's discovery was seen by the woman named Vivian. โ€

Tang Shuxing became interested: "Tell me carefully, how do you know?" โ€

"Vivian got Yan zhรฒng's pneumonia in that place, and it has not been treated, she knew that she was going to die, she used the most unexpected method, she recorded what she knew on the computer, put the text data into a memory card, and then put the memory card into a compression tank, and jumped into the sea with a life jacket and compression tank to commit suicide, freezing to death, but the body did not decompose." Gu Yan also ate chocolate, "Her body was later picked up by the Eurasian forces in Siberia, and finally sent to the boss, no one was interested in this at the time, but the boss kept the text materials." โ€

"How many purposes are there? One is to find out the ruins, and the other is to find out about the Doom Bank, right? Tang Shu asked, "These are all chips, chips for the doomsday gamble." โ€

"Yes, our purpose is to find out what is in this ruin, and secondly, we have to find out what is in the Doom Bank, since it cost tens of millions of dollars to get it, I think this Doom Bank must be more than just the woman and the news propaganda only stored these things, there must be others." Gu Yan ate the chocolate, "So every qiฤ“ is unknown, and we also hope that if we can find the use of the holy relics from the ruins, then we will be one step ahead." โ€

"Understood, as long as you understand how to convert it into energy use, it is equivalent to finding out how to destroy the miรจ holy relics, right?" Tang Shuxing nodded, "My mission is still the same as seven years ago, and it is still related to those holy relics. โ€

"Almost, we rest for an hour, and after an hour, no matter how heavy the snow is, we have to keep going." After Gu Yan finished speaking, he shrank to the side, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Tang Shuxing leaned to the side, looked at him, and felt that things were still not as simple as Gu Yan said, Zhan Tianya has always liked to take his time, inducing you to move in the direction he set step by step, and finally deviate from the direction you want to go to achieve his goal.
