Aurelia arrived at the mine today in a compact black suit, her fat figure made people feel like they were about to tear up clothes, and her heavy makeup and shoulder-length curls made her feel like a nagging aunt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

She put on a hard hat emblazoned with the company's logo and looked around impatiently.

Where she was was an empty, undulating mountainous area, where the howling cold wind was unstoppable, and there were no huge trees rising from the ground, only a few sparse pines and a large patch of withered yellow weeds. In the center of this vast mountainous area is the No. 7 mine of the Pioneer Company's wasteland, and in the center of the mine there is a huge mine with a diameter of about 30 meters, and the mine extends to the ground at a 45-degree angle.

The rumbling minecarts relied on pulley devices to keep moving in and out, and no one knew how deep and spacious the mine was, perhaps hundreds of meters deep, thousands of square meters. The unusual noise of the mine, the roar of machines, the shouts of workers, the practice of mercenaries shooting, these chaotic sounds all came together, as if to test whether they could burst people's eardrums.

There are many asphalt roads in the mining area, and nine ten-meter-high transport trucks roam in them, these transport vehicles have eight wheels, each wheel is about one meter in diameter, and the carrying capacity is measured in tons, one transport truck can be filled with one billion bhikshu platinum ore, what is the concept of one billion bhikshu? In the Dazzling Empire, those with assets of more than 10 million bhikshu coins can become the middle class, while those above 100 million are rich, those who are more than 10 billion are rich, and those who are more than 100 billion are super-rich.

As for the more than one trillion, they are called the hidden family, they keep a low profile, trying their best not to expose themselves to the eyes of the world, but they are the giants who control the economic lifeline of the Dazzling Empire.

Although the net worth of the richest man in the Yaoguang Empire on the surface is more than 700 billion bhikshu coins, there are many people or families who have assets that are several times or even dozens of times more than the richest man in the empire. And the ten major families of the Caisi faction is a good example, the total assets of these ten families are about ten trillion bhikshu coins, accounting for 5% of the annual GDP of the Yaoguang Empire, the real leader of the Caixi faction, the leader of the ten major families - the Gongzhi family, its assets are even more terrifying, but it is impossible for the people to know these things, just like they do not know that more than 20,000 royal members of the empire control thirty trillion bhikshu coins...

The asphalt road curls beyond the horizon and connects the airport more than a hundred kilometers away. In fact, Mine 7 is the closest mine to the airport. All the mountain and forest resource development companies secretly controlled by the Yaoguang Imperial Family will transport all the materials obtained in the wasteland to the airport through transport vehicles, and then transport them to the Yaoguang Empire for processing or refining by transport planes.

Of course, these materials are not limited to ores and logs, but also include animal skins and precious yams, and even rare animals from the wasteland. Each transport plane has a capacity of more than 1,000 tons, and these aerial giants use oil as their kinetic energy, because this energy source is slightly more expensive than residential water in this century, and sometimes people accidentally dig up oil and try to block the oil outlets, which is enough to show how worthless oil is in this century.

The entire mining area covers an area of nearly 300,000 square meters, and is surrounded by fine steel nets, and there are many steel guard towers in the east, west, north and south, each of which is equipped with two machine guns. At the rear of the mine is a 40,000-square-meter camp surrounded by concrete walls. The camp was home to more than 900 workers and more than 500 international mercenaries, including a small team of expeditions and supervisors.

The camps and mines are connected together to form a base, and there are many bases like this in the wasteland, at least hundreds, and if you count the entire Infinite Ice Field, there are at least a thousand of them.

The camp is very large, with a basketball court and a performance stage, as well as an airport and parking lot. Two helicopters armed with miniature homing missiles and machine guns stood silent like a silent grim reaper, and ten military trucks loaded with machine guns shook the nearby beasts like soul seducers. More than 900 workers live in two-storey tin houses painted blue in the west of the camp, each of which can accommodate 20 people, with an average living area of eight square meters per person.

To the east of the camp is a camouflage military tent with the logo of 'Xu Shang Security Company', and the international mercenaries of the security company live in it. The rest of the camps are in a variety of colors, including pink tents for sex workers stationed here, white tents with red cross logos for doctors, tents for various expedition teams, and so on.

At the back of the camp there is a magnificent peak, the summit of which is silent all year round, this peak is not far from the camp, only need to cross two small hills, the distance is about two kilometers.

Among the wolf clan, this mountain peak is known as the Land of God's Presence. The name comes from an old legend: a long, long time ago, on a starry night, a slender white light flashed in the sky, and it crashed into the mountain peak, hidden under the falling rocks. The impact broke the towering mountain in half, and the whole earth shook, and the dust raised by the galloping beasts covered the sky and the moon like the end of the world. The ancestors of the wolf clan believed that this was the god of the Endless Void who came to the earth and gave them the gospel, so the mountain peak became known as the land of divine presence. The ancestor of the wolf clan also made up a ballad for this ancient legend: where the starlight is, the gods descend, in the form of silver light, eternal sleep ice peak.

Aurelia turned her gaze to the sky, the blue of which was about to fade, and the earth was ready for the quiet night, but the mines and camps were brightly lit.

Bailey ran towards Aurelia." Madame, it's me! He shouted to Aurelia as she looked around.

"What do you call me!" Olylia said angrily. She turned and looked at Bailey with a furrowed brow, at the fifteen-year-old young man.

“.. Husband... "Man," Bailey said with a pause and trepidation, not knowing that the old woman, who looked nearly fifty years old, was an unmarried.

There is always a bottom line for all kinds of isms like this, and the title of Mrs. is the bottom line of Orilia, an unmarried person.

"You are the member of the expedition team that was rescued." Olylia asks knowingly, because she wants to humiliate Bailey in order to avenge her reputation as Madame. "I heard that twelve of you came to the wasteland to carry out archaeological activities, and four of them were killed by the man-eating flower, oh sorry, it was stoned to death, oh huhuhu." She covered her mouth and rolled her eyes and smiled, her expression extremely unbeaten.

"What did I do wrong?" Bailey was furious that the plane crash five days earlier had cost him four of his teammates, one of whom was his comrade in Gguzelle. They also took the helicopter from the base back to the crash site, but the bodies of the four comrades were gone, perhaps eaten by predators, or eaten by fire-headed ants that did not even have bones left. At the same time, they also found a crashed Peace Nation aircraft, but the people on board also disappeared strangely.

Aurelia stomped her fat right foot and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, you said something wrong." Mr. Bailey, please address me next time. The fat hidden in her clothes, trembling slightly from the exercise, made Bailey shiver.

"Good young lady", Bailey was very acquainted with the old virgin's wishes. "Captain asked me to tell you that the explosives have been installed at the blasting sites in the Divine Land, and you are the chief engineer of the base, and he wants to ask when you should properly detonate the explosives?"

"I said you, detonate it early and leave early." Olylia said with a straight face: "I don't care what signs of metal you have detected, as long as your actions affect our operations, I will report to the company and kick you all out." ”

"Please cooperate with us," Bailey said angrily. He had begun to hate this old virgin with her nostrils pointing to the sky and spitting stars flying all over the sky, and perhaps he had hated her from the first moment he saw her, only to explode until now.

"Yo, what's your attitude?" Olylia said dismissively. "You listen to the roar of the rumbling machine, you smell the mellow exhaust of the transporter." She took a deep breath of air, looked at the brightly lit mining area with an intoxicated expression, and said: "There are a lot of rare earth metals here, and many high-tech products are inseparable from these things, such as computer chips, mobile phones, air conditioners, and other modern electrical appliances. Without them, the development of our country would be stagnant or even regressive, and I don't think you want to be a sinner who hinders the development of the country.

"But this is not our territory, how can we mine here?" Bailey said, remembering the beautiful scenery he had seen earlier, it was a paradise away from the hustle and bustle.

"Why not?" Olylia asked rhetorically, "We have permission to mine, so we can mine as much as we want." ”

"Who gave the permission? The creatures of the whole wasteland? Bailey asked innocently.

"Yo hehe, what are you kidding about?" Olylia laughed. "What does it matter to those mongrel beasts when we mine, as long as we get the permission of the Shanjung Kingdom, we can naturally mine here. In order to obtain the mining rights in this mining area, we signed a contract with the Shanjung country, and the contract promised to give them a lot of supplies every year, and these wild wolves would not trade at a loss. ”

"Does that include guns and ammunition?" Bailey said.

Olylia looked sideways at Bailey, she smiled grimly, and said, "You don't have to fool me, I know you're from Gguzel." What's the matter, your boss has given you the task of finding out the inside story of the ore trade? ”

Bailey's eyes flickered, it was clear that he was a failing agent, and just as he was trying to quibble, a man walked up to them.

The man was about thirty years old, and his grim expression matched his status as a secret service instructor, his dark stubble covered his chin, and his eyes were unusually sharp. The one-meter-eight figure was wearing a black leather jacket and dark blue jeans, with a pistol stuck in his waist that could be drawn at any time, and his brown military boots stepped on the ground without a sound.

"I'm Beams, Bailey's instructor, and an entourage of the Archaeological Bureau's Seventeenth Archaeological Team." Beams walked up to Aurelia and said with a slight bow.

"My name is Orelia, please call me Miss." Olylia squinted at Beams as if nothing in the world was for her. "You've been accompanying the archaeological team to tinker with explosives in the Divine Land, how come you have time to come to the mine tonight?"

"Beautiful young lady," Beams smiled politely, and added, "I want to enrich my life experience, so I came to you to ask a few questions." ”

"What's the problem?" Olylia said as she looked at Beams warily.

"I've seen mercenaries exchange guns, ammunition and drugs for animal skins and local specialties from the wolf clan, as the chief engineer of this base, don't you care?" Beams said.

"You want to call me nosy?" Olylia glared at Beams, "I warn you, this base is so intricate that you don't think of yourself as a hero. ”

Beams gave Aurelia a deep look, then turned his gaze to the steel monstrous machines nearby, the rumbling sound louder than everybody in the stillness of the night. He said: "Why don't you come to the International Arms Smuggling Investigation Bureau to investigate? I guess this base alone sells tens of thousands of guns and hundreds of thousands of bullets every year. If these things are exposed, you will also be held accountable as a person who does not report them. ”

Olylia looked at Beams with resentment and said, "You dare to threaten me without knowing anything!" What an international arms smuggling investigation bureau, let them go home and farm. Those so-called arms smugglers and extremists are just pawns of the Ministry of Defense in arms smuggling, and the Ministry of Defense is the largest arms smuggler in the world! ”

"You're slandering the laws of the Empire!" "I don't deny that there are a few moths in the Ministry of Defense, but most of the people in the Ministry of Defense are upright, and their mission is to guard the Empire, let the Empire lead the world, and create a peaceful and stable order," Beams said angrily. ”

"Yohehehe, you ignorant fellow." Olylia sneered: "You can accuse those mercenaries of their crimes, I think you will only get two results, one is that you will be rewarded by your boss, and then for various reasons you will never set foot on the wasteland again, and these mercenaries will still do their own business proudly, as for the International Arms Smuggling Investigation Bureau, they may come to the wasteland to act, catch some inconsequential little people, or they may not have the heart to act at all." The other is when your boss scolds you and tells you a cruel reality. ”

"What reality?" Bailey looked deaf.

Only then did Olylia realize that Bailey, the young boy, was still around, and she said, "Are you sure you want to know that reality?" Even though you may know later, it doesn't do you much good to know now, I mean on the faith side. ”

"I want to know." Bailey said.

"Please advise." Beams also said with a sincere face.

"Beams, you've won, you've managed to get my words out." "The wasteland not only contains one-third of the world's coltan, but also contains extremely rich resources such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, nickel and palladium. If we want to develop science and technology, we can't do without these blood-stained things. Do you know that the amount of paper used in a year in our country alone can only be described as horrific. If you took those pieces of paper the size of a banknote and lined them up next to each other, they would make about a million turns around the Earth's equator! You heard it right, it's a million laps! If it is from the earth to the sun, it will take at least a hundred round-trips, and how many trees will have to be cut down! There are more than 10 billion metered mobile phones, computers, air conditioners, cars, etc., how many mineral resources are needed for such a huge amount of scientific and technological products! People squeeze themselves out to create value for society, and when they live in big houses, they don't care where the steel and timber used to build the houses come from. When they get warmth and happiness from high-tech products, they don't delve into how these things are produced, what resources are needed, and where they come from. It is a world of contradictions and cruelty, where people love peace but let war rage because of their positive attitude. The law of the jungle has always been applied to all civilizations, the difference is that we humans have a group of lovely people, and as long as they are given power and money, they will weave lies so that the rest of humanity will not feel guilty about plundering resources. Now you see, that lovely group of people is the leadership of humanity. And in order to continue to gain power, they have to secretly manipulate wars to obtain resources, and only by allowing the rest of humanity to live a life of abundance and guilt-free can they continue to stand at the top of the pyramid of power. ”

Both Beams and Bailey looked at Aurelia in shock, and her words directly changed their worldview. What fraternity, peace, and equality of all beings are all things that can only appear in the land of abundance, and as for the real world, the way of survival is the law of the jungle.

While they were talking, a shrill siren suddenly sounded at the base, and everyone looked at the red siren in fear.

"Enemy attack detected!! Turn on the first-level battle mode, this is not a drill, hurry! Repeat, this is not a drill! Turn on the Level 1 Battle Mode!."
