Apocalyptic Dark Age

The floating car could not pass through the sulfur mine. When Gaofeng got under the car, Shi Peng came with several managers to greet him.

Shi Peng is much fatter than he was three months ago. He has the aura of a superior person, and he is more complimentary to Gao Feng. In the past, he could use Gao Feng as an ignorant ground person to prove that he was much better in knowledge, but now , Gao Feng started from scratch, and built a large foundation underground with a stick of wilderness people, which impressed him deeply, and his expertise was also put to perfect use. He obtained all kinds of equipment and equipment from the underground world. Decode and change the program so that ordinary people without built-in chips can use it.

"Sir, hot water and food have been prepared, the underground space of the Poisonous Man has been initially explored, and the lighting equipment has been installed. Do you think there is anything else needed?"

Shi Peng was humble but not humble. Gao Feng nodded slightly and couldn't help but look at the huge suspension bridge across the cliff. Sixteen huge steel cables served as a skeleton to connect the two sides. Countless small steel cables formed a network to fix the two sides of the suspension bridge. It seems that even a large truck of four to five tons can drive through it, so it is qualified as a passage.

A steady stream of soldiers got off the pontoon, and under the leadership of their respective captains, lined up to walk to the pontoon, like ants crossing the suspension bridge, and disappeared into the cave on the opposite side.

“How much iron ore and how much sulfur can be collected every day?”

Maybe Shi Peng was not very good to Gao Feng in the past, so Gao Feng was not as natural as he was to his true confidant. When he saw Shi Peng, he was speechless and could not help but turn to official matters.

Shi Peng didn't want to deliberately close the distance and said calmly:

"Iron ore can produce about 150 tons per day, and sulfur can produce about 20 tons per day. However, the quality of the iron ore is relatively high, and the steel production rate is 1.6:1, which is already very good. We have not directly used the sulfur. The means can only be sold as raw materials to Eagle Eyes. On average, one ton of sulfur can be sold for 1,200 credits..."

Shi Peng's report was very detailed, but Gao Feng was not satisfied. Let's not talk about steel. Nearly a hundred tons of steel are smelted every day, which is 30,000 tons a year, which is not bad. But why is sulfur sold so cheap? Twenty tons of sulfur can only be sold for 24,000 credits, which is less than 1 million in one month?

"Why sell raw materials? Even if we can't use them temporarily, can't we store them?"

Gao Feng frowned and asked Shi Peng. Shi Peng smiled bitterly and said:

"It's not that we don't want to use it. Sulfur has many uses, including medicine, chemicals, food, and the extraction of various important elements and materials. It's just that we don't have the means. Sulfur is the most likely to pollute the environment. It requires a very complicated processing process underground to make finished products. , We can't do this for the time being..., and besides, we don't have any more places to store..."

Shi Peng did not shirk the blame. He told the truth. To put it bluntly, Gaofeng dug a lot of holes underground, but it was really impossible to create an underground space of dozens of kilometers like an underground city. And underground Unlike on the ground, even in small-scale battles, you need to wear a breathing mask to avoid being choked to death by the smoke, so the underground world strictly prohibits anyone from using open flames.

Gao Feng was speechless. Selling raw materials was the most unprofitable business. Even with some rough processing, it could double the price. But the reality was that he was far from being able to develop freely. Everything had just started and required primitive accumulation. The difficulty is not the slightest.

"Stop mining sulfur for the time being. Mining is already very difficult. It would be a huge loss to make such a small amount of money. Let's wait until we dig out a larger space..."

There is no better way in the peak. Mining sulfur itself is very risky. The poisonous mist can kill people at any time. It is better to leave it here and wait until it can be used in the future.

Then the two chatted for a while, and the team of several hundred people had almost passed by. Gao Feng encouraged Shi Peng a few words, and then followed the team to the other side. Halfway there, Gao Feng suddenly looked down...

Crystal Lake is still clear and transparent, but there are many more houses beside the lake. These houses are not made of wood, but are made of black rocks. The rocks are the product of iron ore mining and are used in this picturesque place. , it really disfigures the scenery.

There are many trees around Crystal Lake, but Gao Feng is not ready to cut them down. Compared with the hundreds of miles of barren wilderness, trees are really precious, so Gao Feng is willing to use stones rather than wood.

Hundreds of people entered the Crystal Lake, attracting countless children. Thousands of children were looking curiously not far away. Hundreds of women were equally curious among the children. However, Gao Feng saw Mo Yuan, whom he had not seen for several months. He is the principal of these children.

Crystal Lake was officially assigned to Mo Yuan. As a place to build a school, the thousands of acres of land in Crystal Lake are only used as a source of income for the school to support the children. This is also the place where science and technology are most concentrated among the peak forces, and a large number of Electronic equipment and second-hand teaching equipment found in the underground city gave Mo Yuan a greater grasp of education.

Mo Yuan also saw Gao Feng, her face changed, and she shouted loudly that the children would come to her classroom, just like chasing ducks, and drove the children back to their respective classrooms.

"It's a pity that such a good place has been taken over by a bunch of brats..."

"Keep your voice down. The elder has his own reasons for doing this. Your little boy is still in there. I heard he will learn great skills..."

"The right way is to learn more skills with swords and guns. Only by becoming a tribal warrior can you live a life that is not in vain..."

There were whispers from the soldiers in the queue, most of them complaining about Gao Feng's opening of the school. Gao Feng sighed and did not explain much. The biggest gap between the wilderness and the underground is not the gap in technology. As long as you have money, what can you do? Can’t buy technology? But after buying it, will those rubes use it? Only if you keep up with the basic knowledge, and can not only use it, but also make it, can you really have a foundation. That's why you invest so much effort in education. However, education requires a long period of time to pay off, and it cannot be understood by others, except Except for Mo Yuan, everyone else disapproved of Gao Feng's actions.

The float can only transport more than 300 people at a time, and it takes four days to assemble more than 2,000 people. All the soldiers who arrived first gathered at the Crystal Lake, laughing and marveling at the huge lake they had never seen in their lives, and the peak was back. My own residence by Crystal Lake,

The soldiers also knew not to make noise at the peak, so they were far away. Many people knelt by the lake, carefully picked up the water and drank it. Some people walked along the lake and wanted to measure the area of ​​​​Crystal Lake with their feet, but they could not People have thought about jumping into the lake for a swim. For them, the Crystal Lake is a treasure given to them by God and cannot be desecrated.

But there was one person who was different. He was soaked in the water and endured the invasion of the lake. When he saw the peak coming towards the dock, he yelled like crazy:

"Let me out, let me out, I'm swollen..."

The heart-rending roar made Gao Feng look over. At first he was surprised that there was still a person locked under the pier, but then he remembered the guy who was about to blow him up.

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

Gao Feng looked at the pale, zombie-like man in the water prison. The man cried when he saw Gao Feng and said hoarsely:

"I've wanted to die for a long time, but I can't die no matter what. It's too torturous..."

"You seem to be called Wudao? Why didn't I kill you before?"

Gao Feng was somewhat impressed by Wu Dao, but not deeply. At the same time, he was also surprised that Wu Dao had survived until now after being soaked in water in the middle of winter?

"If I had known, I would have been happy if I was killed by you. Look, I'm all moldy..."

Wu Dao sobbed and raised his arm, only to see that his arm was wrinkled, like tissue paper soaked in water, with a layer of green stuff smeared on it, and he didn't know if it was moss.

Three months is enough to torture a strong person into a lunatic. Wu Dao has been played to the point where he has no expectations and just wants to die.

"Why aren't you dead yet?"

Whether to kill Wu Dao or not became secondary. Gao Feng crouched on top of Wu Dao's head and asked curiously, "You can survive three months in a bath without dying. Are you really a god?"

"I don't know either. This lake is cool during the day, but it gets uncomfortably hot at night. I almost got cooked several times..."

Wu Dao honestly told the changes in the lake water, and two words suddenly flashed in Gao Feng's mind: hot spring.
