Chapter 37: More Doubts (I)

Compared with the Taiping City Fortress four years ago, which only had tens of thousands of people, today's Taiping Society Base Area can no longer be said to be a simple "city fortress".

In the past four years, the United States of America has increased its efforts to introduce the blessing of the railway Huangnu from Daqing in the East, and now Taiping Chengsai is a medium-sized city with a population of more than 300,000 and a complete industrial, commercial, and educational area.

If we add the population of farms around the city, the current population under the control of the Taiping Society is about 730,000.

According to common sense, if the gathering place of such a large number of people had been placed on the Celestial Empire plane Earth in Hong Tiangui's previous life, it would have been in contact with the outside world a long time ago.

But on the one hand, it is really rich in resources, around the valley where the Taiping base is located, there are sufficient basic industrial resources, there is no shortage of iron ore and copper ore, and even a medium-sized oil field has been discovered.

In addition, Hong Tiangui has a complete set of perfect, at least before exploring the micro field, it can be regarded as a perfect general primary industrial technology, so for the time being, there is no need to communicate and trade with the outside world, he can be self-sufficient, no guns and no cannons, he can build himself.

On the other hand, on this planet that is five times larger than the Earth of the Celestial Empire, Yinzhou in the New World is truly vast and sparsely populated.

For example, the United States of America, as the largest country in Yinzhou, with a population of 60 million and 40 states, may sound overwhelming, but most of the area is a map.

Except for a few industrial states and counties in the north with dense populations, the vast majority of states add up to only about one million people, such as Rokofell, which is close to the Taiping City, with a population of just over one million.

Among them, if we exclude the elderly and young children, the number of young and middle-aged people who can really be used to calculate the military mobilization force can be almost 100% certain, and it is not as large as the number controlled by the Taiping Society. Because in addition to a small number of wild Yin tribes who have joined in recent years, and some old and young populations, most of them are young people from Daqing who were rescued by intercepting slave ships on the Taiping Ocean.

It can be said that in the heart of Hong Tiangui, the head of the Taiping Association in the past few years, he is happy and happy, and the population has increased sharply under his rule, and his own power has become rapidly strong, how can he be unhappy?

But the depression and worry in his heart in recent years have also been increasing.

In four years, the ships on several "railway yellow slave" transport routes from the Daqing Dynasty to the United States of America on the Taiping Ocean were "robbed" by the Taiping fleet, which was loaded with extraordinary hidden power, almost under his protection.

However, in the United States of America, from the understanding of the intelligence team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the protection of Hong Tiangui, the price of railway yellow slaves has not increased!

On the one hand, it is constantly bleeding, and on the other hand, the goods are sold at the original price, so according to the thinking of normal people, the slave trade, which has suffered huge losses, should have been shut down a long time ago! Or change to the Feizhou route and introduce some black uncle slaves, which is not bad!

But the shipping groups in the United States of America are like crazy.

It wasn't that they didn't send forces to find the pirate forces that attacked them at first, but after searching for them to no avail, they were desperately bled by Hong Tiangui and didn't let go of Daqing Huangnu.

And the existence of these railway yellow slaves is undoubtedly linked to the "Alchemy Map of the American Land Railway".

How can such a strange situation make us always worry and not worry?

Therefore, as early as the year before last, the relevant intelligence level of the "Alchemy Map of the America Land Railway" has become the first and most important of all intelligence needs in the Taiping Base Area.

And the section of the railway branch line in Roccofield, which is facing the Taiping Society, has been repaired by the Rum Railway Group again, but in fact countless bombs have already been planted by the Taiping Society.

As long as Hong Tiangui gives an order, within 3 minutes, the perennial "Yindian" patrol team over there will detonate instantly after receiving the order through telegram!

In the past few years, Hong Tiangui has also sent his subordinates to ambush and capture more than a dozen half-blood or low-level werewolves who have revealed their true identities, but the confidential information related to the "Alchemy Map of the America Land Railway" is still unknown.

Until now.

It wasn't until two months ago, when they captured a true Knighthood Bloodline and a Lord-level werewolf outside Colmar, that things finally progressed dramatically.

Hong Tiangui sympathetically looked through the glass window at the two soundproofed and narrow torture rooms in front of him, the blood clan and werewolves who were locked by Western sealing runes, their faces were full of happy smiles that had entered a sweet dream.

In order not to touch their brains, it is very obvious, but it is also very complex passive spirit seal.

The people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to use the method of "exhaustion to extract confessions" for two months, so that the blood clan and werewolves did not get the slightest rest for two whole months, and forced them to wake up as soon as they fell into a coma, and kept repeating, constantly causing them mental pressure, so that they finally compromised.

"Well done, your approach works."

"Although the spiritual seal of their brain domain is not powerful, it is too complicated, even me, without touching the spiritual seal, it will take 3-4 months to completely break it."

Being able to let the blood clan and werewolves take the initiative to tell the information, naturally they will not touch the complex spiritual seal in their brain domain.

Hong Tiangui first praised the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs around him, and then picked up the torture record sheet in his hand and checked the overall information after repeated inquiries by the Ministry of Internal Affairs many times.

"Looks like they're just getting started."

When Uncle Li Gu came to him before, the relaxed expression on his face had already made Hong Tiangui have a trace of speculation, and now that he got the specific information, Hong Tiangui's heart was solved most of the confusion.

"Use the huge amount of negative emotions of the people of Dongfang Daqing when they built the railway to carry the national railway alchemy circle that started to make the Sage's Stone."

"Absorb and sacrifice the souls of the soldiers who died in the American Civil War to refine the 'Red Potion'."

"The Roccofell's Devil's Cave was transferred to the sky to open and release, also in order not to interfere with the operation of the National Railway Alchemy Array."

The "Red Liquid" in the intelligence is the famous "Sage's Stone", which is one of the highest achievements of the Western alchemy system.

It is said that at the beginning of the theocratic era, the great alchemist Basil Valentine, simulated the "true god divine power" and created the supreme alchemy item, known as the earthly divine power, the power of omnipotence, with the effect of reversing matter, fulfilling wishes, immortality and so on.

The reason why Hong Tiangui has a certain understanding of this thing is because in his current highest achievement, the "Taiping Aura Reversal Array", among its key procedures, there is a part of the manufacturing theory of "Red Liquid Medicine".

It was also obtained by his father, Hong Xiuquan, at the peak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from a Western alchemist who went to Daqing in the East to find treasures.

"Central Instrument Spirit, compare the railway formation map with the part of the information I know!"

After carefully reading the information, Hong Tiangui immediately contacted the central instrument spirit of Taiping Yuzhu Jian in Zhihai to verify the authenticity of the information.

"Dear President, in the No. 15 sub-diagram, there are indeed some formations that use the theory you mentioned."

There are already clues, if you simply compare, it is not difficult for the Taiping Jade Bamboo Jane, which is no longer what it used to be and has sufficient aura, and soon, it gave the answer in the sea of knowledge.

It seems that the blood clan and werewolves in front of him are not talking nonsense.

"Comrade Li Gu, as well as all the comrades inside."

"I can confirm that the red liquid in this information is true."

Hong Tiangui looked around, shook the information in his hand, and said calmly.

Most of the previous doubts have been solved, but the answers given by the werewolves and the blood clan have exposed more doubts!

"But otherwise, it's not necessarily true!"

"Let's not talk about why the dark cavern next to us has to be released in five years."

"Why do they have to use our compatriots to build a railway?"

"What this information says is that because of the fierce contradiction between the black slaves in the north and the south, they are unwilling to continue to introduce black slaves in this limelight!"

"That sounds like a good reason!"

"But how did the contradiction between the North and the South come about, those idiot politicians in the United States of America don't know, can we still not know?"
