Smelting everything from pirates

Chapter 14, Hailoushi, the cause of war
Kedork’s surprise attack on the Fadore artillery position has ended. There is only gunpowder smoke from the burned out tents on the entire position. The few rising gunpowder smoke casts a misty color on the warm morning light in the east.

Barrett stood in the center of the battlefield, and the soldiers of the bullet regiment kept cleaning the battlefield, collecting all the weapons and swords that were not damaged. In this short raid, the soldiers of the 3rd Kedork Division The loss was very small, and the big reason was that Barrett detonated a bomb in the middle of the enemy's position.

The fat man in Marcus walked up to Barrett and said, "What are you doing here, come here quickly, Browning and the others found some good things while cleaning the battlefield."

When Barrett heard what Marcus said, an expression of interest immediately flashed across his face, and he followed Marcus to Browning and the others.

Browning was accompanied by soldiers from dozens of bullet regiments. They were dragging more than a dozen huge steel boxes. During the violent explosion, several craters appeared on several boxes, which were obviously rock fragments engulfed by the shock wave. typed out.

When Browning saw Barrett approaching, he immediately put down his work, stood up and gave a military salute to Barrett and said, "Regimental Commander."

Barrett didn't care about Browning's polite gestures, he waved his hand at Browning and said, "What are these boxes?"

Browning immediately showed a happy look on his face, and he said: "There are a lot of ammunition in here, there are at least three boxes of unactivated grenades, and two boxes of unactivated mines, but the remaining two boxes are just It's just a sea building."

Barrett was very surprised when he heard that there were actually two boxes of sea tower stones. He asked Browning directly, "Why are there sea tower stones here? Let's send them out."

Marcus said with a little regret: "Barrett, you don't understand. For us, these two boxes of sea stones are not as important as a box of bread."

When Barrett heard what Marcus said, he felt a little puzzled, sea floor stone is a very precious mineral, so Barrett asked directly: "How do you say that, I remember that sea floor stone is very precious and rare. "

Marcus said with a wry smile: "Outside, sea floor stones are indeed very rare, and the price is very high, but in Kedork, Fadore and Galzburg, sea floor stones from these three countries even have a piece of bread. Can't be replaced."

Barrett eyed Marcus with a puzzled look, and Marcus explained

: "These three countries are the only and largest producers of sea stones in the world government. Under the land where we stand, as long as we dig down tens of meters, at most 100 meters, we can find sea stones that cannot be exploited completely. For Loushi deposits, the amount of Hailoushi mined from these three countries every year is several thousand tons, or even close to 1 tons, so for us, Hailoushi is really useless."

Speaking of which, Marcus glanced at Barrett and said: "However, you should not get too close. You are a person with abilities, and you will become very weak after touching Hailou Stone. Let Browning and the others take this Just take the box away, and then throw it away anywhere."

When Browning heard what Marcus said, he immediately called a few brothers from the Bullet Corps, and carried away the two boxes of sea stones. When Barrett saw this scene, he was actually very reluctant. I want to say that I am not affected by the Hailou Stone, and I want to use permanent smelting to smelt the Hailou Stone, but I have no choice but to let Browning carry away the Hailou Stone, but there will be a chance to get it in the future More sea floor stones.

Hearing what Marcus said, Barrett guessed in his mind why the war between the three countries of Kdorkfador and Galzburg started and continued until now.

Three countries exist on an island at the same time. This island has a very rich sea floor stone deposit, but there are three countries occupying it. For the world government, if there is a war between these three countries, it will not stop The underground sea floor stone deposits are mined to support the needs of the war. In this case, the sea floor stone is very cheap.

Once peace is maintained between the three countries, it is very likely that the three countries will reduce ore mining at the same time, or even stop the mining of ore. At this time, Hailou Stone will be particularly expensive, so the three countries have been in war. It is in the best interest of the world government.

Conversely, for the royal families of the three countries, and for their high-level officials, the initiation of war is also valuable. As long as one of the countries destroys the other two countries, they can completely occupy all the sea buildings on the entire island Shi, at that time, the Victory Congress will become one of the most important countries under the world government, and the royal family will be passed down for hundreds of years, just like the Tianlong people, as long as the sea towers and stones are not exhausted.

So from the above point of view, the top leaders of the three countries and the world government all hope that war will break out, but their purposes are different. The world government hopes that the war will never stop, and the three countries hope to rule the other two countries, but from the means It would start a war.

Barrett thought of this in his heart, and looked over and saw the tanks of the third division's core corps, the Tank Corps. Only then did he know why Kedork had tanks, because Kedork was so rich, Just buy it directly from Balkimoa, the future kingdom.

(Balkimoa is the home of Vegapunk.)
Seeing that Barrett's eyes had been focused on the tanks, Facus said, "Those tanks are actually not very useful. The power used in them is powered by sea stones. , it takes more than 10 minutes to reload, and the movement speed is not fast, the only advantage is that it may be better to attack the position."

Regarding the role of tanks, Barrett had already had an in-depth understanding of tanks in Blue Star in his previous life, but one sentence from Marcus made Barrett immediately alert.

"You said that those tanks are all powered by Hailou stone?"

Marcus nodded, as if he was very confused. Barrett would ask such a question, but then he remembered that Barrett grew up in a bullet group and had no exposure to outside knowledge and the world, so he was relieved up.

I heard Marcus explain: "The sea floor stone was not so precious in the past. The biggest function of the sea floor stone at that time was to make weapons and let ordinary people deal with capable people, but since Balki After Dr. Vegapunk of Moya invented the technology system of using Hailou Stone as an energy source, Hailou Stone has become the most important resource of the world government, which is why Kedork and the other two countries can continue to Cause of constant war."

Barrett recalled that in the navy, Vegapunk did use sea tower stones to allow naval warships to pass through the windless zone. Originally, many people on the post bar thought that sea tower stones were pasted on the bottom of the ship as tiles , now it seems that it should be a technological means.

And in the war on the top, Vegapunk produced a robot-pacifist. Many people don't know what the energy drive of the pacifist is. It seems that it is very likely to be powered by sea stones. Yes, this made Barrett sigh in his heart, Vegapunk is indeed a scientist who surpassed human wisdom by 500 years.

Seeing that Barrett had been thinking in his heart, Marcus patted Barrett on the shoulder and said, "I have something to tell you."

When Marcus said this, there was a look of fear in his eyes, and Barrett asked directly, "What's the matter with you?"

Marcus gritted his teeth and said: "In the early morning, the teacher told me to come to the bullet group as the deputy head of the bullet group to assist you in your work. Do you have any ideas?"

Barrett is not a person who likes to pursue power. For him, his own strength is the most important thing, and he actually doesn't want to care about the big and small things in his heart. Marcus can voluntarily take over this For some tedious work, Barrett is naturally very happy
"On behalf of all the soldiers of the bullet regiment, I welcome you to be the deputy head of the bullet regiment."

Marcus was particularly worried that Barrett didn't want him to be the deputy head of the bullet regiment, but he was relieved to see Barrett admit it at this time.

I didn't expect this kid to be so generous and never envious of power. It seems that I will help him well in the future.Marcus thought in his heart, and at the same time unconsciously took a step back to come behind Barrett.
