Chapter 46 Heading Into the Future

"Why did you go so long? What happened?"

Ellie asked with concern. It was already the fourth day before Gene came back. Others also looked confused, but it could be seen from Gene's expression that something bad must have happened on the grassland.

After Gene lit a cigarette, he thought for a moment and said.

"The dispute has already begun. There have been many small-scale conflicts, which may soon evolve into large-scale conflicts."

Gene described in detail everything he had seen on the grassland these past few days, and Li Chu laughed.

"I've told you a long time ago that we don't need to worry about them. No matter what we do, they will always go back to their old ways. I don't plan to get over it anyway. It's their business to make trouble as much as they like."

Gene looked at the others. Except for Ellie, everyone basically no longer planned to care about things on the grassland because they had lost confidence.

"Don't think about it Gene, let's have a drink."

As Gu Yi said, everyone nodded and started working on their own.

Gu Yi wanted to help the people on that grassland at first, but after some time, his attitude began to change after he had this special power.

Guyi is different from others. This place was once part of his motherland, so he has very strong feelings for this land, but now Guyi has understood the facts clearly.

No matter what they do, they can't change the status quo. Everything on the grassland is uncontrollable.

"Put yourself together Gene."

After Tang Rao finished speaking, he stood up and started preparing to cook.

"Now we must devote ourselves to research. Jean, put away your little thoughts."

Deguna took out a cigarette case and handed one to Gene, who nodded.

Not everyone is happy to see such a result, but there is nothing we can do about it. In the future, humans will inevitably fall into a situation of scarcity of resources, and resources will become the primary target of human competition in the future.

After a while, the eight people had dinner and began to discuss some issues. The most important of these was the future energy situation. Although Li Chu could use power to generate electricity, if he wanted to prevent energy from being exhausted in the future, They must establish a complete energy chain.

"The best solution now is bacterial energy."

Tang Rao said and Rose nodded. She dipped her hands in water and drew something on the table casually. Rose is an expert in this area. She has been committed to the development of bioenergy in the past and has successfully developed Several bioenergy sources.

Unfortunately, putting these bioenergy sources into practical applications is much more complicated than many people think.

"Any good ideas? Wirth."

Tang Rao looked at Werther and asked. Under the smoke, Werther's expression looked a little complicated. Everyone else could see that Werther actually had a solution.

And Rose seemed to have thought of something. She had been watching Werther tinkering with something in the past few days, and Rose knew that Werther must have thought of a solution.

"Come on, Werther, stop hiding it."

Li Chu said with a smile, held up the wine glass and leaned over, sitting next to Werther. Werther thought for a moment and then said.

"Bacteria Batteries."

"That's a good idea."

Rose immediately stated that the best option at present is bacterial batteries. Although some people have studied them in the past, they have not studied them in depth. The potential of bacterial batteries is very great, but there are very high risks.

"I can make some culture fluid that supplies energy to bacteria, just use some plant parts, so that I can generate electricity continuously."

Rose continued, her seemingly immature face showing great confidence, because she had made some culture fluids for many kinds of bacterial energy sources in the past, so she was relatively familiar with this matter.

Werther hummed, he didn't want to hide it from everyone.

“I actually end up growing bacteria.”

Ellie frowned slightly. Indeed, some of the research she had seen Werther doing in the past few days was not drug research. She didn't expect that he had already started it.

"Ordinary bacteria definitely won't work because they don't have enough energy to provide powerful electrical energy, so we have to cultivate new high-efficiency bacteria. We will continue to study over and over again and mix various bacteria. This is a long-term It’s a complicated job, but it has to be done. After all, it’s impossible to rely on Li Chu alone to generate electricity in the future, so he will have to sit in the power generation device 24 hours a day.”

Tang Rao concluded and teased Li Chu, who smiled disapprovingly.

"Then the question is, Werther, what do you think?"

Li Chu looked at Witte randomly and asked, because this guy developed an insect with super fecundity and super survivability in order to eliminate the kind of plants that bring disaster to people. As a result, the whole world The world suffered an unexplained insect plague.

"Actually, when I was studying insects before, I used a special kind of bacteria. This kind of bacteria can combine with many bacteria to give birth to some different bacteria. And if you want to get enough electricity, you have to use Only powerful bacteria can be used. Bacteria are difficult to control. Once a leak occurs, it will be a disaster for the surrounding environment and humans. "

"We can prepare countermeasures in advance. As long as we understand clearly in advance what methods are useful for this kind of bacteria, we will at least have a plan to deal with it if something goes wrong."

Ellie said and Werther nodded.

"Okay, I will start the formal research tomorrow. The whole process will be very long. Are you sure you want to make bacterial batteries?"

After everyone nodded, Witt smiled helplessly, and Tang Rao began to summarize and organize. After all, these things must be solved.

Then the second topic began, which was still about energy. Only one energy method would not work. Even if measures were taken to deal with the dangers of bacterial batteries at the beginning, there was no guarantee that there would be no danger at all.

"Light energy."

Gu Yi said with a smile, and everyone else nodded. Gu Yi was originally a scientist who studied high-quality photons. They had successfully studied high-quality photons. The quality of these photons was very high and could be used as energy.

It's a pity that it is still very difficult to achieve, but now there are conditions.

"Jean, Deguna, you have to help me. I am not an expert in many mechanical things."

Gu Yi's eyes were full of hope. Jean and Deguna both nodded. They also knew that Gu Yi's research was very important.

This is related to the energy field of future human beings. Gu Yi first talked to everyone about the basic concept of this energy, and everyone listened carefully.

"There is one thing I hope everyone can pay attention to. This energy can also be used to make weapons."

"What to make weapons for?"

Li Chu asked with a smile, and the others also laughed.

Then the eight people exchanged some experimental research results in recent days, and then began to work on their own. Gene returned to the room. He wanted to rest for a while before continuing to work. Gene's mind was lingering with everything on the grassland.

Dong Dong Dong

The door of the room was knocked, Gene got up and opened the door, and Ellie stared at Gene worriedly.

"You can go back anytime you want, Gene."

Ellie seemed to be comforting, Gene smiled and shook his head, and the two hugged each other.

"If you see those tragic things and remain indifferent, you are not you, Gene. We all know that you are very fast and it is easy to go back and forth, right now."

Gene hummed.

Ellie leaned gently on Gene's chest.

"It's okay, Gene. We can definitely build a human city here."

3 p.m.

Alan put down the teacup. This is the new tea that was just harvested recently. Now every day will be very comfortable. Alan looked at the fields that have begun to turn yellow. Many crops have reached the harvest season.

Everything has been calm in the past half month. Jed came once during this period and talked about some things in the future. Alan expressed his support for Jed. He is now doing business with some gangs again.

The construction of the fortress has become more and more stable. Basically, the reinforcement of the wall opposite the fortress has begun. Some materials found in the mountains can make reliable cement, which is better than anything else for Alan.

What is needed here in the future is a city as solid as gold. Alan plans to make the wall thicker, at least three or four meters wide. Although it will take a lot of time, it is certain that this place will become a paradise for humans.

Recently, there are still many technicians who want to join Allen and his team, but Allen did not agree. After all, at this time, those big gangs still want to make trouble. It can be seen from the time when his people go there to work every day that many of them are still deliberately looking for trouble.

Allen knows what they want to do, kicking his gang out of the distribution so that others can get more.

At this point, although Jed did not clearly stand on his side, Allen did not retreat at all. He had already argued with other leaders about some things, and in the end those leaders could only nod.

Now I have to say how correct Jed's previous move was. At that time, Allen thought of many plans, because Jed's approach was very likely to develop into a war, but in the end the war did not break out. Instead, everyone ushered in peace, because Jed's distribution plan satisfied many people.

However, in Allen's view, this approach will not last long, because the problem of the order of front and back will still cause some friction. Allen recently sent people to contact other gangs in a farther place.

At the end of the east, some reservoirs have been built. There was a burst of upstairs, and nephew Nick ran up with a smile. He had just come back from outside.

"Uncle, good news."

Alan was stunned at first, but then asked.

"What kind of good news?"

"It's that Su Kang guy, he said he agreed to form an alliance with us."

Alan stood up and looked at his happy nephew, the peace on his face was disappearing little by little.

"What did you do?"

"Su Kang happened to be there, so I chatted with him for a few words and found that he was a good person, so I proposed an alliance, and he agreed without saying anything, saying that he would come tonight to discuss the specific matters."

Alan's cheeks began to become hideous, Nick was still chattering about how he talked to Su Kang, and he didn't realize the anger on Allen's face.

"What do you think, uncle, I'm smart."

Nick said happily, and at this time one of Allen's confidants saw the problem and just wanted to come over, Allen suddenly slapped him.

Snap

Nick looked at Allen differently, his eyes widened, and he looked at his uncle in disbelief. This uncle had taken good care of him since he was a child. Because Nick's father passed away very early, Nick always followed Allen. He is very good, more like a son.

"Uncle, I..."

"I already told you to study more, why did you talk to them about the alliance without permission?"

Nick covered his mouth in embarrassment, the slap was very powerful, and he finally noticed the angry look on his uncle's face.

"I just thought it would be better if we had more friends, and that Su Kang..."

"enough."

Allen pressed his sore forehead and sighed.

"Do you know who is the rumor maker in Jade's territory? It's Su Kang and the others. Do you know who made the statement that we were threatening before? It was Su Kang who made it."

Nick realized that something was wrong, and Alan sighed and patted Nick on the shoulder.

"Why do you take the decision without permission?"

Nick lowered his head, and the others also persuaded him. Allen seemed a little scared when he looked at his nephew.

"I'm not beating you because you make your own decisions, but because you don't use your brain. Have you forgotten that we and Jed are already allies? If you do this, it will cool down the relationship between us and Jed and the others. , Do you know that this is not worth the gain?”

Nick nodded and Alan continued.

"In any case, the reservoirs, mines and power plants are all in Jed's territory. That is our most ideal partner. There have been too many frictions between Jed and Su Kang. You are so Doing so would destroy our relationship with Jade."

Allen said, and suddenly he asked.

"Were any of Jade's men present?"

Nick nodded.

Allen stood up immediately, because he had to explain it to Jed in person, otherwise there would be cracks in their alliance, and Jed was completely different from before.

After what happened last time, Jed already didn't trust other gangs. Allen quickly led the people and planned to go directly to Jed's side, but before they even stepped out of the fortress, some vehicles and motorcycles appeared not far away. Coming this way is Su Kang and his group.

Allen realized that something was wrong. He could place some people as informants, and Jed could do the same. If they didn't handle it well now, they would most likely be isolated.

Allen smiled and led the people out of the fortress. He had to handle this matter well.
