The road conditions are not very good, and potholes appear on the ground more and more frequently. The light of the headlights www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was not as strong as the two of them imagined, and many of the situations on the road were hidden in the dim shadows that could not be hidden. After the body was completely darkened around them, the vibration became more violent, causing both of them to feel the discomfort caused by the shaking.

And the off-road vehicle can only get slower and slower, so that when the darkness is deepening, they are still in the middle of the dark halfway up the mountainside, driving slowly forward.

"It seems that the plan is completely ineffective, and the actual situation is too different from what was expected. The driver's face was tired, but his arms were still coiled around the steering wheel like the rhizomes of an old tree, and he was precisely steering the vehicle to avoid crashing into the seemingly calm potholes on the road.

"By the wee hours of the morning, I think we should be able to get out of this section of the mountain and get to that flat place, right?" Cassia looked at the map under the lights of the SUV, comparing the general environment around them to find out where they were.

"I think it should be, when you get on that good road, you can go up at once, and you don't have to waste much time. The driver's uncle replied, his eyes glued to the place illuminated by the light in front of him, "At that time, it will be much closer to the destination of your trip, and it may be possible to reach the place of Brino when the sun has just come out in the morning." ”

"You can rest there then, and you don't have to go back to school right away, uncle?" asked Kasia as she moved her body in the limited space.

"The bones are almost scattered, I can't do it without resting, I am still an uncle who cherishes life, and I am no longer mentally vigorous. The driver said slowly, "Although there are still big hidden dangers in the safety and management of the Brino place, I think it should be no problem to take a little rest there." And we used to be in the daytime, and in some things, people there would also want to avoid the light in the sky. ”

There was obvious hesitation in his words, and the speed was very slow, and every word he said seemed to have to be thought through in his brain, carrying an uncomfortable weight.

"The Empire's control there, is weak? Uncle, you don't seem to have a good impression there. Kasia asked.

"I've only been there once, and it's been more than ten years ago, so I can't talk about good or bad impressions now. It's just that I did have an unpleasant feeling when I went to Brino, when it was still a small town, but now it is a city that is almost isolated, and the scale is many times larger than before. I thought that the imperial side would strengthen its supervision and control there. But when I saw the giant truck of the Trinatal Group crash not long ago, I didn't expect much from the management of the empire. ”

The driver's uncle sighed, and the element of exclamation accounted for the majority in it.

"I should have mentioned to you that the Sanshi Group is tied to another giant company, like twin sisters. Uncle Driver asked Kasia.

"As I said, you said that if you want to shake the three primary color groups, you must be prepared to face two giant companies at the same time. ”

"Yes, that's what it means. The sister company of the Three Primary Colors Group is the Imperial Mineral Source Company, which is also one of the seven giant companies. In the early days, the Imperial Mining Company was also mining coal, but later switched to mining minerals, otherwise in terms of energy, the two of them were definitely the biggest competitors. But now, because of the different directions of development, the two companies can be regarded as a relationship of mutual growth and common development. The three primary colors provided energy and steam furnace technology to help Imperial Ore source create more powerful mining machines, while Imperial Mineral Source helped the Three Primary Colors group mine the main coal mines and white limestone mines, which can be said to complement each other, and now neither can do without the other. So a lot of times when we talk about the two of them, we will see them as one, that is, as one company. And the two companies seem to be merging recently, which has been written in major newspapers. ”

"Then this is 、、、 with the Brino area"

"What's the connection, isn't it?" the middle-aged uncle replied indifferently, "Of course there is." We're in a huge mountain range right now. Let me tell you this, nearly two-thirds of the entire mountain area is in such a desolate state, and there are no trees growing up, let alone forests. There are no special plant medicinal materials on the mountain, and there is no animal ecosystem that is the only one. So why do the giant trucks of the Sanzheng Color Group still run inside? You know, trucks of that size are rare in the world of ordinary people, and they are mostly for special projects. ”

"Then shouldn't the Imperial Mining Company be taken into account here, and then think about why?" said Kasia, looking at the driver's uncle's face.

"You young people still have smart heads. It's really the same as you think, there is nothing in such a large mountain range, there are no trees, no flowers, only grass, and even some common animals in the mountains are rare, that is, there are a lot of minerals. The empire consumes countless resources every year, especially ordinary steel materials, you can't estimate a specific number in your mind, right? That's too much. And Imperial Minerals is a major supplier of these materials. And just as Webley had arms as its main business, and at the same time it had the steam and automobile industry, or as well as the Golden Bank, it had also taken care of the postal service. Although Imperial Minerals is mainly in the mineral business, they are also developing other projects, one that matches their characteristics. ”

"The characteristics match, digging mountains and digging holes?" a huge steel drill bit appeared in Kasia's head, drilling through the mountains and then merging them into a shocking scene of flat land. But it was a little unrealistic, he shook his head and listened to the driver's uncle's words.

"It's not so exaggerated as to dig up a mountain. But if that mountain was made up of minerals, I think they would be happy to do that. The uncle nodded in agreement, "Their side business is to drill tunnels, specializing in building a wide and smooth road in this harsh geographical environment. If the interest in minerals is huge, special railway lines will be laid in the middle and later stages. The main forces for transporting minerals were steam locomotives and heavy trains, and airships were convenient, but the cost was too high. And the positioning of the airship is different, its positioning is not a means of transportation, or the positioning of the main role is not a means of transportation. Airships were developed and used as war machines, and were also used for transportation, as were the case with the numerous merchant ships. But because of the different roles, the structures on the airships are also different. I don't talk much about it here, and I can't understand it, but when you get on the military battleship-level airship in the future, you will be able to deeply understand it. Now let's talk about the relationship between that truck and Brino, after all, it is related to your next mission. (To be continued.) )
