Among the various resources recovered from the base, oil is undoubtedly the most cost-effective. It is destined that the new resource base selected by Meng Xiang must have rich oil resources.

In that time and space of the base, many planets have become resource areas, and there are relatively many minerals of all kinds. But oil resources have to be on a living planet to be generated. Compared with the coal resources, the oil resources have been depleted early, so the recovery price of oil has been high compared to the depreciation of other resources.

There is already a sub-base in the Middle East, and in addition to resources, Meng Xiang also wants to play more other roles, so he doesn't plan to arrange it there for the time being. Whether the king of Iran and the princess of Egypt have just been married, or the new king of Iraq, Faisal II, has just ascended the throne, it will not affect Aladdin's continued expansion of power. The customs there limit the pace of expansion, and more troubles are not something that can be solved by the base. It takes time to settle, and a base is already able to supply.

Most of the other oil producing areas that Meng Xiang remembered in his mind were not suitable at this time.

Except for some offshore oil that cannot be extracted, places such as Mexico and Nigeria have exceeded the control range of 10,000 kilometers from the secondary base. It is not suitable to build a base there.

North Africa is a battlefield in the future, and weapons production bases can be developed, but it is not suitable to erect oil wells to attract attention. Meng Xiang plans to use the oil and gas resources of the South Seas for his own use in the future, and does not plan to develop them now.

"Here! That's it! Meng Xiang climbed on the map and looked at it for a long time, and finally circled a place - Alaska.

This treasure land, which the Americans are most proud of, is not valued by the Americans at this time. It's so desolate there.

Alaska in the north is still snowy and deserted at this time, but who knows that it contains treasures that will make future generations hot.

Alaska has a lot of minerals, and the gold rush there has not subsided, and there are still people looking for gold in an attempt to become a millionaire overnight. In addition to the gold mines, only the salmon fishing industry is now the only thing left there, which is another economic support point. But in later generations, it was most famous for oil.

In the northern part of Alaska, where more than 1.2 billion tons of oil can be extracted from the sea and the extension of the continental shelf. Although the base cannot exploit the offshore oil for the time being, the oil on land is enough for the base to exploit.

It's close to the North Pole, it's by the sea, and it's truly deserted. Before they attacked the Aleutian Islands, the Americans did not pay much attention to it, and this was also conducive to the concealment of the base.

Unlike the colonies of the Philippines and the Autonomous Territory of Hawaii, Alaska is already a full-fledged territory of the United States. It's hard to get the idea of hitting there later. Meng Xiang simply used the method of plundering resources to directly loot there first. Mining 100 million tons will cost more than 3 billion yuan. It's enough for the vanguard to consume.

There is Europe beyond the Arctic Ocean, and the air line is the closest. It is also more convenient to buy some arms from there. If you want to jam the support of the Americans to Soviet Russia in the future, it is also very convenient to attack from there.

After receiving Meng Xiang's order, the sub-base on Kalimantan Island immediately began to recover those buildings that were no longer needed, but still kept some of them. Things like forts can be used again, and even those cannons can be done manually. It's just that without the support of the base's intelligent brain, it's just an ordinary artillery.

After the center of the base was retracted into a base car, he embarked on the journey of migration on the Roma, which had been prepared for a long time.

This time, the distance of migration was relatively far, but Meng Xiang also had patience to wait. At this time, there was nothing else going on around the war zone, and he himself had stopped. According to the propaganda of some forces in the newspapers, the war of resistance against Japanese aggression has already entered the stage of stalemate.

Meng Xiang also recognized that this was a period of stalemate at this time, but this was temporary, and if he didn't do it for another month or two, even if he didn't do it, he would have to clean up the little devil first. Xuchang's position has been set up, but he doesn't seem to have been fooled. It's just a vigorous bunker digging fortifications.

"The number of people is still too small!" Even Fan Chong shook his head, the tens of thousands on the other side were really not enough for the vanguard army to fight. At this time, the psychology of the fan is the same as the psychology of the previous one, thinking about the decisive battle to eliminate the threat. said that they couldn't afford it, and they also wanted to fight a decisive battle, but they knew that they couldn't defeat the vanguard army, so how could they fight a decisive battle? Before the air supremacy and the vanguard cannon are resolved, he will not take the initiative to attack the vanguard army with his brains.

All fronts had calmed down at this time, and Meng Xiang was happy to have time to adjust his army. When the vanguard army was facing the enemy before, some of the noises that were still there also disappeared after the battle calmed down. The vanguard army can be drawn back at any time, who is so short-sighted?

For a while, Meng Xiang felt a lot more relaxed.

"Tanya has news?" Meng Xiang said in surprise.

Since Tanya was upgraded to level three, she had more self-protection ability, and she couldn't stand Tanya's entanglement in her ear to apply for tasks, so Meng Xiang sent her out to perform a special mission.

In later generations, he once saw the news of the discovery of gold in ancient temples in India, and it was said that there were tons of gold, various treasures, etc., with a total value of more than 11 billion US dollars.

When Meng Xiang was processing some information from India, he suddenly remembered this.

He couldn't remember the exact location, except that it was built in the 16th century by order of a king of the Hindu temple in the underground chamber of an Indian temple in southwestern India.

He only knew so many clues, and after careful inquiry by the spies, he finally found a Sripadmanabaswamy temple in Kerala, southwest India, which was quite in line with Meng Xiang's requirements. It was built by order of the king of the kingdom of Travanco, and it is rumored that the king kept his treasure in thick walls and secret rooms.

After receiving this news, Meng Xiang sent a team of ten people to investigate and search.

Tanya's white face is suitable for action there, and her force value is already very high, so she is also in this operation team. She has been gone for more than a month, there is not much information, Meng Xiang is also very worried, and her shadow appears in her mind from time to time.

"I just cared about her. After all, the heroes of the base are all the only surnames, and if they die, they will never appear again in this time and space. That's a big loss. Meng Xiang muttered to himself two or three times, but what came to mind at that time was the shock when he saw Tanya for the first time, which was the fruit of Meng Xiang's first time seeing a woman.

At this time, Meng Xiang's mind appeared again with a picture that looked so flawless.

"yes, they just sent back." Rat Er said as he handed over a cipher.

"They succeeded? I can't believe that this is true! Meng Xiang watched it twice in a row, and his heart was also excited.

It has already been said in the secret telegram that they are being shipped out and transported directly back to the base by submarine. They found more than 1,200 gold chains of just 2.5 kilograms, more than 1 ton of gold ornaments and various jewelry, 3 gold crowns, and even a baby elephant made of gold. With the addition of some gold coins, there are indeed several tons, and it is more difficult for them to carry them.

If we estimate 11 billion according to later generations, even if the dollar depreciates in later generations, according to the depreciation of 30 times, there will be almost more than 300 million US dollars. However, this estimate is based on the value of their cultural relics, and there must be water additions.

At this point, one dollar is equivalent to 0.889 grams of gold. A ton of gold is just over a million dollars. At most, these tons of gold and jewelry sold for just over $10 million. This is also a factor in the decline of metal money because it was unable to support the needs of modern money. With less than 100,000 tonnes of mineable gold reserves and less than 100,000 tonnes of gold mined in the world, how can the huge demand for money be sustained?

However, with this 10 million US dollars, it is also a good income, which is worth selling a warship.

"Didn't they get into any trouble?" Meng Xiang quickly calmed down in his heart and asked with some concern. There was no mention of their casualties in the cipher.

"We have asked about casualties and no one has been killed. Captain Tanya's return was relatively smooth, but there was a little trouble. Rat Er said lightly.

"A little trouble?" Meng Xiang knew that the little trouble in Tanya's mouth must be a small problem, but fortunately, no one died. With so many tons of gold in front of them, there are not many ordinary people who can resist this temptation. In order to avoid accidents, the people of this operation, except for those guides, are all clone elites, most of whom are spies.

Everyone's sacrifice is painful for Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang didn't ask again, they were evacuating, and it wouldn't be long before they returned. On the submarine, some information can also be transmitted back in advance.

Searching for treasure or something, you can also accumulate wealth quickly. The world's top ten treasures in later generations, Meng Xiang also has a little impression. But Meng Xiang is not too enthusiastic about this, the accumulation of wealth is not those gold, silver and gemstones, but the collective creation of people in the long river of time. Farmers harvest grain, factories produce goods, buildings rise from the ground, and roads stretch into the distance. This is the accumulation of civilization, far from being comparable to cold gold.

Sometimes, a piece of gold is not as good as a steamed bun or a cotton coat. It's just an equivalent exchange for a measure of value. It is normal for individuals to chase wealth and gold. But if people like Meng Xiang, who control the huge power of the country and the nation, are also lost in the golden light, then disaster is not far away.

"Only by constantly creating, developing and changing can a nation become stronger and stronger. Only in this way can China talk about the glory of reviving the past. Meng Xiang realized that the praise of the four great inventions in the past had become a little moldy in the old paper pile, and Huaxia was still sentimental with the glory of the old days.

"Our nation once created a splendid ancient civilization, and although the racial civilization has been continuous, it has also suffered from foreign aggression and destruction from time to time. Ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Babylon, and India, as well as the Inca culture, have all declined, and we have also endured the invasion of nomads from the northern steppes, the giant ships and strong cannons from the western countries at sea, and the physical and mental trauma caused by the so-called clothed book. But the next step is likely to be more existential threats for future generations. If you want to take the initiative, you can only develop, develop, and develop again. Strong, strong, strong. The stage of our nation is the whole world. ”

Meng Xiang's words were recorded today in one of his speeches. That speech was given by Meng Xiang at a seminar where the 388 Scientific Research Plan was implemented for half a year.

The 388 program of that scientific development contains more and more content. There are still too few talents in Huaxia, but there are too many research directions that need attention. After all, Huaxia has fallen too far behind, and it needs to be constantly catching up. The catch-up of science and technology needs to catch up step by step, and it may be easy to fall behind if you leap forward.

The basic disciplines that can't create value quickly are particularly difficult, but Meng Xiang knows that these basic disciplines are the backbone of the scientific tree. Those that bear fruit and beautiful flowers are not just decorations on the branches and leaves. But people are always looking at it with their eyes on it.

In order to support these basic disciplines, so that those scientists will not be embarrassed and helpless in life, and engage in research with a hungry stomach, Meng Xiang specially allocated special funds to fund them and set up an award.

This award is not only for Huaxia, Meng Xiang was originally oriented to influence this award to the world. China needs to absorb the wisdom of others, and if the American is not an open country, his achievements will not be so long. Huaxia, which has a large tolerance and a weak base, needs to learn from the strengths of others.

For a country that is still considered ignorant and backward by many Westerners, how can others come to it? Faced with the tide of European brain drain after the beginning of World War II, if China wants to get a piece of the pie, it must solve its own image problem.

Either China has produced several world-famous scientific and technological talents, or there is an award with national influence.

Meng Xiang decided to do both.

Meng Xiang has some traces left by the teaching of the crammer when he was in school, and some knowledge has not been forgotten. Some simple knowledge has been painstakingly studied and summed up by one or two generations over the past decades. Meng Xiang just chose a few suitable directions from them, and appropriately hinted at the big bulls in Huaxia, and they had already made a breakthrough. Or Meng Xiang chose a topic and let those big bulls study it, and there was a breakthrough in long-term research.

A master drives a field, and a pinnacle is admired in front of the world. Meng Xiang was just making a few masters in advance. Only the emergence of a few masters can attract the attention and exchanges of foreign scientific circles, thus opening the eyes of Chinese scholars and enlivening their thinking, so as to create more masters.

This is not to pull out the seedlings to help grow, but just to apply some fertilizer appropriately. It is themselves who play a key role. Of course, the base's science and technology center provides the most complete experimental equipment, which is also an indispensable catalyst. How many Chinese science cattle are because they lack various equipment and cannot verify their reasoning, which leads to many rewards passing by.

At this time, with perfect scientific research equipment and a relaxed scientific environment, since the implementation of the 388 scientific plan, the scientists of the vanguard army have also made some achievements in several fields arranged by Meng's consciousness.

But they still lack a stage. A stage that is recognized by the world.

Although they have the strength to attack the Nobel Prize. But at this time, the Nobel Prize was still a bit biased and was influenced by some outside worlds. In the past 100 years, no Chinese person has won the award, if it is simply because there is no talent in Huaxia, no one will believe it. Racial discrimination also makes it difficult for them to get ahead. Even he won the award for the first time in 49 years.

Meng Xiang simply set up a scientific exploration prize on his own. Because the prize is a trophy inlaid with a Chinese dragon, it is also called the Dragon Cup Award by later generations. According to different disciplines, the bodies of those Chinese dragons are also divided into different colors, which are easy to distinguish and identify. Many foreigners also spit out the pronunciation of "long, long" and got to know Huaxia Dragon. Since then, few people have confused the Chinese dragon with the winged lizard of the West.

He has the ambition to make this Xplorer Prize a Nobel Prize-worthy existence, and it has been carried out according to high standards and specifications from the beginning. In addition to the strict and formal review process, even the prizes and bonuses are eye-catching.

In addition to the gold cups and gold medals, which are made of gold, the prize money is also a standard 100 kilograms of gold. This is even more eye-catching.

The purpose of Meng Xiang is to expand the scale of influence and absorb more exchanges of ideas, so the award is set up somewhat differently from the Nobel Prize.

At this time, the Nobel Prizes were only in physics, chemistry, medicine and physiology, and peace, and later the economics prize was added. But it lacks mathematics, and regardless of other people's interpretations, mathematics, as the mother of science, should have its place.

Therefore, in addition to physics, chemistry, medicine and physiology, the gold cup award has been retained, and the mathematics prize has been added. The Peace Prize, which is subjective, interfered with too much interference from external factors, so it was canceled, and the award was even more nonsense. The civilization background of various countries is different, and the language is deviated, and the Westerners in China may not fully understand, and the vast majority of so many Nobel works in later generations are Westerners, so naturally there is a reason for this.

Native language creation is the easiest way to arouse true feelings. And this is very much that comment, so Meng Xiang also took the award, but added the economics prize.
