Chapter 85: Open Minds
Through Qiu Mingxu's introduction, Cai Ruichen had a general understanding of the situation of these monsters.
These monsters usually don't need to eat like people, and they don't have metabolism, but they rely heavily on the virus left in the air, and these monsters do not rely on breathing, but by the active maggots on their bodies, absorb the virus in the air, and obtain nutrients for survival.
Once the virus in the air is isolated, these monsters will be starved as if normal people are starving, even if they have maggots on their bodies, they will starve to death.
It's just that this kind of intelligence is useless, Cai Ruichen is still interested in the toxic gases in the air.
This virus, which has been discovered, has not caused any harm to normal humans, and is considered a germ that is active in oxygen.
It's just that this germ is very useful for corpses, but it is also limited to those corpses with intact bodies, and then parasitic to mutate the body and make the corpse stand up again, a bit like the zombies in some movies and television.
This is only what Cai Ruichen has only learned so far, as for how did this bacterium appear? Why is this happening? It's all unsolved puzzles.
At present, the information we know is basically not of much help to the next stage of work.
Now that the situation has just opened, in order not to sit on the empty side, Cai Ruichen must also find a way to obtain funds from other channels.
He had thought about buying ore from real space and importing it through the Iraqi government, but it was not so easy.
In the name of Future Technology Group, the import of various raw materials, as long as there is money and the nod of the Iraqi Ministry of Commerce, as long as the source of goods is found, the two sides negotiate the price, and it is indeed possible to import.
After all, Iraq is not in a state of international economic sanctions, but the mainstream countries of the world are still standing on the position of helping the Iraqi government fight extremist groups and the Islamic State.
Coupled with Cai Ruichen's resume, at least it will not arouse disgust, and everyone who pays attention to him, except for the Mossad, is just curious. There is no malice yet.
But what seems like a simple problem is not so easy to solve.
The first one is capital, importing ore is not cheap, and it requires a large amount of money to lay the foundation.
At present, the development of the base, nearly 3,000 mobilized soldiers, and the construction of Marin Town, these add up to a lot of daily costs.
The most important thing is that now Cai Ruichen has no stable economic source at all in reality.
Selling weapons can only solve the short-term cost of money, and the quantity is really limited.
And in order not to arouse international disgust and maintain his status as a normal businessman, Cai Ruichen did not dare to sell a large number of weapons.
Even when Idris was selling weapons, Cai Ruichen also told him that he must strictly check the details of weapon buyers and don't give himself hot trouble.
In the Middle East, arms sales have always been sensitive, and it is easy to attract the attention of intelligence forces in various countries.
Now Cai Ruichen is only selling some rifles and bullets, and the amount is very small, so it will not attract too much attention.
Once a certain share of weapons is sold each day, trouble ensues.
Maybe one day, a drone flies by, and the missile falls.
Therefore, in the real space, Cai Ruichen pays attention to being as low-key as possible.
As a result, it is very difficult to come up with some of the money to import ore, and it can almost be said that it is impossible to squeeze out.
After all, buying nearly ten tons of grain a day, and paying the wages of those workers in Marin Town, is barely enough to survive in the end.
In the current situation, it is very difficult to obtain development funds from the outside world.
So much so that Cai Ruichen had to set his goal on the wasteland world, which is completely different from the real space, and there is no need to look at anyone's face to develop here.
It's like recovering Shaxi Town, taking it is your own, and the same is true for other resources.
Instead of going to the real space to think about what is not there, it is better to make a world in the wasteland world, and then he will not need to think about so many concerns.
Unfortunately, however, the wasteland world is not so simple to develop.
Unlike the real world, the development of the wasteland world requires the support of hard power, and there is nothing false or lucky.
How much territory the power takes, it is interests, and without strength, it is empty talk no matter how much you want.
Back in the base, Cai Ruichen faced the main map of the base, with a look of contemplation and hesitation.
On the main map of the base, in addition to the town of Shaxi that has been recovered, there is still Mozabi County within the warning range.
The county also looks very modern, and the mobilized soldiers have basically surveyed all around the county, bringing back a large number of pictures and videos.
The news that came together pointed to a very heavy number, and the number of monsters in the county was too huge.
There is a minimum of 100,000, and possibly even a number of 200,000.
Compared to the two thousand mobilized soldiers in the wasteland world, the number of these monsters is really too much.
Now, Cai Ruichen has built a wall outside the county seat, in order to prevent the monsters in the county from endangering the base.
It is also used as a wall to observe the monsters in the county.
"What are you bothering about?" Natasha appeared behind him at some point, a lunch in her hand.
Cai Ruichen turned his head and looked at the time, only to find that it was already lunchtime, and said, "How to solve those monsters with trouble." ”
"How did the commander recover Shaxi Town with the strength of dozens of people in the first place?" Natasha said.
"At that time, it was relied on boiling frogs in warm water, taking it slowly, killing one less and then carrying out the final general attack, which was also inseparable from the role of armed mining vehicles." Cai Ruichen said.
"The same can be true of Mozabi!" Natasha said.
"I know I can, but it's just a drop in the bucket for that sheer volume." Cai Ruichen shook his head.
"Whatever, you can kill as much as you want, and you can also train soldiers in this way, I believe that two thousand elite-level mobilized soldiers are still very combative." Natasha said disapprehantly.
When Cai Ruichen, who was still in trouble, heard this, his face was instantly replaced by joy, and he couldn't help but say: "It seems that I have walked into a dead end, and I have always regarded these monsters as enemies, but in fact, they are just monsters." ”
"Oh, it looks like the Commander has figured it out?" Natasha said.
"That's right, you're right, if you're playing with the monsters in Mozabi County, it's a completely different story. The next thing to do is to train the troops, and conduct large-scale military training. ”
After figuring out the problem, Cai Ruichen was in a much happier mood, looking at the huge county town on the map, as if he was already in his pocket.
"For the information given by Qiu Mingxu, you still have to be careful, if there is really something behind these monsters that is controlled, it will be completely different." Natasha reminded.
Cai Ruichen didn't speak, just nodded cautiously, and glanced at the chariot factory being built in the wasteland world, as well as the 333mm long-range rocket missiles being produced at the main base.
