MTL - Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)-Chapter 117 bald wool

Roger's so-called third way, in Meng Lei's view, there should be no other choice except to join the alliance.

Sure enough, when Meng Lei's voice fell, Roger nodded lightly, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Joining the alliance is the path we are most reluctant to take lightly, and it is also the last retreat when we have to!"

Roger's tone was a little heavy, and he could hear the entanglement and regret in his heart.

Smoke filled the huge study room.

The fragrance of the stinging skin is mixed with the smell of nicotine, which is mixed into a strange odor, which makes people feel a sense of anxiety hidden under the surface of the water in peace.

"If it weren't for the outbreak of the Rongyan Post incident, we would have had a certain buffer time, and we could wait for you to develop steadily, and then look for opportunities to seek cooperation.

But once the alliance and the separatist organization go to war, the sea area affected by this war is not just as simple as our waterway.

By then, all the seas around the world will be affected.

The intensity of the war will be far greater than in the past, and it will be protracted!

Under normal circumstances, the separation organization can barely achieve self-sufficiency by relying on the heritage accumulated over the years.

Even without relying on the black market and smuggling channels, it can slowly develop on its own.

However, once the war breaks out, the productivity and accumulation of the organization are simply not enough to sustain the long-term war consumption.

Although chaos will also occur within the alliance, with the alliance's perfect industrial chain and deep accumulation, it is fully able to persist until the end of this war! "

Roger took a deep breath, glanced at Meng Lei, and continued:

"Under such circumstances, choosing the first path is definitely not feasible at present.

Even if we concentrate our strength, we will move away from the battlefield and collectively move to the waters of the leveling area along the previously re-opened channel.

Not to mention whether the radicals will agree or not, our exploration faction has lost the material support provided by the radicals, and even if it is transferred to the waters of the leveling area, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold there.

The level of danger in the level area is much more dangerous than the shallow area!

In addition to the more terrifying alien sea monsters, there are also threats from local forces, all kinds of crises go hand in hand! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei's expression suddenly became startled, and he hurriedly asked:

"Local forces?!

What local forces? Could it be that there have been people living there for so many years in the waters of the flat zone? ! "

Roger's words shocked Meng Lei.

In his consciousness, he always thought that after the faults occurred in the waterways between the regions, the resource support of the parent star and the shallow regions was lost, and there were no humans in the deeper seas.

But Roger's words clearly showed that his previous thinking was completely wrong!

And it was a big mistake!

Not only are there people alive in the waters of the leveling area, but they are still alive and well, and they have even established a new power system independent of alliances and separate organizations!

This simply subverts Meng Lei's cognition!

"Yes, in the flat waters below the surface, there have always been ancient colonists living, and they have not gone extinct.

Moreover, the level of technology is more advanced than us!

We only discovered this matter after re-opening the waterway. Presumably the investigation agency of the alliance has long known this, but they have kept it secret. "

Roger said calmly, as if telling a trivial matter.

But in Meng Lei's heart, at this moment, the river was overturned, countless doubts and questions came to his mind, and his brain was a little dazed.

"Wait, the alliance knows that there are people in the leveling area, doesn't that mean that they have already opened up a new channel to the leveling area?

In this way, the first thing to be sure is that they must have had contact with each other and maintained a long-term relationship.

Then why didn't the alliance announce this matter and advocate for the public to start a new round of exploration and promote the development of alien society?

What are they thinking? "

Meng Lei raised his doubts and felt extremely puzzled.

Roger shrugged, the thick smoke and the reflection of the lens covered his face and eyes, unable to see the expression on his face, and said slowly in a low voice:

"No one knows the thoughts of the Presidium of the First Seas Alliance,

The penetration ability of the separation organization cannot reach an organization of that level.

However, the think tank of the organization can probably infer a conclusion based on the information obtained by our exploration faction in the leveling area.

The alliance should have reached some kind of agreement with a certain force in the peace zone.

The two sides do not interfere with each other, exchange materials and technology as interests, and maintain a balanced development of both sides.

What the alliance needs is stability, not the grand hegemony of expanding its territory.

On the basis of this concept, as long as its own stability is not damaged, the alliance will not advocate people to jump out of their comfort zone and continue to explore deeper.

After all, exploring new seas means a population loss to some extent.

The current population ratio of the alliance is constantly shrinking every year. If a large number of people are lost due to exploration, it will exacerbate the collapse of the alliance! "

After a pause, Roger snuffed out the cigarette butts and added:

"Low fertility is the biggest problem facing the Alliance and the Tia as a whole today,

Due to the dwindling population, the Alliance has now been forced to abandon a large number of strongholds and outposts.

This is also one of the reasons why the Alliance has always been reluctant to formally go to war with the separatist organization. "

When Roger said this, Meng Lei probably understood the psychology of the top management of the league.

Without fighting or exploring, with the current social structure, the alliance can at least persist and enjoy the good times of several generations.

But if due to wars and accidents, the internal friction intensifies.

Perhaps in the next generation, even the most basic social structure is difficult to maintain stability.

At that time, the entire race will be destroyed step by step.

There are also certain difficulties in the alliance's attempt to maintain a solid core concept.

At this moment, Roger got up and patted Meng Lei on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Let's not talk about the issue of the peace zone on the alliance side,

What I want to tell you is that once we choose the first road, move to the leveling area.

That means that many beautiful families will be fragmented.

If I go, what will happen to my wife and daughter?

It is not impossible to walk with them, but when the war is in full swing, the radicals are too busy and will no longer supply us with materials in any way.

With the harsh living environment in the leveling area, the living conditions are second, and I am afraid that my life will be lost due to various sudden changes!

Therefore, most members of the Exploration faction in the organization who hold important positions in the alliance are reluctant to choose this path.

And set up a separate portal, from now on to declare independence from the organization, and become a new force of its own.

It's the best choice we can make at the moment. "

After a pause, Roger continued:

"The alliance is at war with the radicals, and we won't have the energy to deal with us for the time being.

After the war, the alliance's vitality was severely damaged, and it took a long time to recover, and it was impossible to continue to provoke trouble.

This gives us plenty of breathing time! "

When Roger's voice fell, Meng Lei frowned suspiciously and asked:

"At this juncture, your faction broke away from the organization and declared independence. Will the radicals agree? They were originally a group of lunatics, a group of outright terrorists!

The Exploration faction turned against the tide at the time of the organization's life and death, so they were not worried about their revenge? "

Meng Lei does not have the vision of a politician who is far-sighted. The questions he can think of are simple and straightforward.

Roger shook his head and didn't answer right away.

After brewing two cups of tea again and putting two new pieces of Netherworld stinging skin in it, he said:

"Between the radicals and the explorers, there are serious internal differences due to their different ideas.

When the founders of the first batch of separate organizations were still there, the cohesion of the organization was relatively strong, and such differences would not have much impact on internal unity.

But when the second batch of leaders came to power, a rift gradually began to emerge between the two factions.

But at that time, the political situation was turbulent, and the reputation of the organization plummeted among the people.

Therefore, some estrangements caused by different ideas have been covered up by external pressures, and it can be considered that the dangerous period has been barely passed.

However, now is the power transition period when the second group of leaders abdicates,

As the situation of the alien society gradually stabilized, the differences and estrangements that had been suppressed by various factors for a long time began to break out gradually!

Even if there is no high-profile declaration of war by the alliance, the split of the separatist organization is only a matter of time.

The incident at the molten rock outpost was a catalyst that accelerated the process of all changes, but the outcome was already predestined.

Therefore, even if the explorers declare independence, the radicals will not have any radical reaction.

and in the final analysis,

The reason for the situation to develop to this point is also caused by their own hands! "

The voice fell, and in the brief interval when Meng Lei fell into contemplation, Roger picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued:

"Of course, the radicals won't let us go away so easily.

In the next war, we also need to pay a certain price, abandon some members lurking in the alliance, or use their respective identities to obtain information for them.

In addition, once the final defeat is inevitable.

We also need to cede a few fairways to the leveling area to provide them with a way back.

This is the most basic price to be paid by the Exploratorium to declare independence! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei suddenly nodded.

To be honest, Roger's so-called price seems to be an understatement, but Meng Lei understands that for the Exploratorium, the significance of these costs is absolutely extraordinary!

And according to Roger, it seems that the split of the separatist organization is inevitable.

In fact, if you think about it differently, the explorers want to take this opportunity to quit, and the radicals can't keep it even if they want to stay.

If the two sides really want to have a conflict at this juncture, once the exploratory faction turns to join the alliance, the fate of the radical faction will undoubtedly be worse!

By then, there will be no last way out.

It is better for everyone to get together and disperse, and negotiate to solve this matter. If there is a chance to meet in the flat area in the future, there will be no more enemies.

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully, finally figuring out the historical issues between these factions and forces.

However, after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Looking up at Roger, Meng Lei asked suspiciously:

"If most of the resources under the separatist organization are in the hands of the radicals, how will you survive and develop after you declare independence?

For a force like you who does not obey the control of the alliance, the alliance will inevitably exclude you from the supply system.

Is it possible that you are planning to follow the model of independent colonies and take the stand-alone route? "

Roger shook his head slightly and said with a smile:

"That's why I asked you for cooperation!"

Meng Lei was stunned for a moment, then pricked up his ears and said seriously:

"Appreciate further details!"

Roger took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Declaring independence is just a paper plan that faction leaders are currently putting on the round table, and the specific implementation date has not yet been determined.

We need a certain amount of time to plan and prepare.

When the Declaration of Independence takes effect, we are bound to kill all hidden dangers in the cradle!

During this period of time, we need to support Blue Star players like you to develop as soon as possible and have a supply system independent of the alliance!

Such as food, military industry, light industry, mining and medical research institutions, etc...

Only when your system is perfected and our cooperation is officially launched can all worries be relieved! "

Meng Lei thought about it for a while, but said with a puzzled face:

"Since you have the resources and channels in this area, why don't you develop on your own, but place your hopes on us outsiders?"

Roger shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't look at all. From the cigarette case that Meng Lei placed on the coffee table, he took out a cigarette and lit it, explaining:

"Did you forget what I told you just now?"

"what?"

"We are weak and weak, although many members hold high positions in the alliance system,

But the overall number of members of our faction is very rare.

In the entire Alien Ocean, the total number of Exploration Factions does not exceed three million!

Even if it is calculated with three million people, it sounds like a lot, but it can be divided by tens of thousands of waterways, and the density of members is pitifully small.

Even if we gather the troops and concentrate the personnel.

But under the control of the alliance, the effect it can play is extremely limited.

That's why we need your Blue Star players' help.

Your population base is the biggest advantage! "

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully, with a look of surprise on his face.

Speaking of this step, Meng Lei finally knew what the reason was for Roger to find him.

After so many preparations and explanations, the other party's ultimate goal is actually this.

No wonder Roger is so eager. In terms of the current situation on Alien, their Expedition faction wants to declare independence and completely break away from any forces. The time is indeed very urgent.

It must be freed as soon as possible before being affected by this war, and without being constrained by the supply system.

No matter what goes wrong, the consequences of independence are not freedom, but destruction!

Meng Lei took a deep breath, looked at Roger seriously, and asked the most crucial question.

"What kind of way will your so-called support be carried out? Funds? Technology? Or material resources?"

Roger shook his head and smiled, and replied in a calm tone:

"neither!"

Meng Lei was startled, then frowned and asked:

"Then how can you help us in our next development?"

Roger took a breath and said in a deep voice:

"I will help you with information, such as the location of some natural fishing grounds that the alliance has never disclosed, the coordinates of outposts that have been abandoned but have no potential safety hazards, and those that have already completed exploration in the early stage but have not had too much productivity to develop. Mine location and more…

I can provide you with these high-level secrets that belong to the alliance for free! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei took a short breath, and Tong Kong slightly enlarged.

It has to be said that the information proposed by Roger is indeed very tempting, and cannot be bought with money.

Moreover, it is exactly what the heavy sea fleet needs now.

For the development of a force, it is absolutely not enough to rely on top individuals to support them.

Meng Lei alone, no matter how much money he earns, cannot meet the needs of the entire fleet.

Moreover, good luck will not accompany him all his life, it is impossible to be so lucky every time.

A force must have a cause and industry jointly operated by the entire collective in order to achieve long-term and stable development. This is the most basic requirement.

The information that Roger can provide is very promising in the future, whether it is the food supply and marketing industry or the mineral development industry!

Although it can't achieve a monopoly, it can at least meet the needs of the fleet's survival and development, and smoothly pass through the difficult entrepreneurial period.

To be honest, Meng Lei was indeed moved by the support project proposed by Roger.

The point is, all this information is free, without paying any price, it is readily available.

What reason could he have for rejecting such a good thing?

However, in pursuit of maximizing interests, Meng Lei pondered for a while, and said with an embarrassed expression:

"Director Luo, if you can only provide help with intelligence, then I'm afraid our development speed is still far behind your requirements!"

After a pause, Meng Lei added:

"Aside from other problems, the transfer of population alone is a huge problem for us!

We simply don't have a lot of money to buy enough submarines to go deeper into the waters.

A most basic exploration boat needs 50,000 marks!

It can only carry no more than fifteen crew members at a time!

With the current scale of the Chongming fleet, how many round-trips of submarines are required to transfer enough personnel to complete the most basic outpost development?

If this problem is not solved, no matter how much information I have, it will be useless! "

Roger smiled and shrugged helplessly:

"The funding issue is something you need to figure out on your own.

I can't offer any help with this, as it's easy for the Alliance to monitor and expose the target.

Besides…”

After the conversation changed, Roger looked at Meng Lei, showed a meaningful smile, and said:

"This time at the Rongyan Outpost, Captain Meng's harvest should not be small, right?

In addition to the three F-class exploration boats, a considerable part of the painted skin parasite eggs that Budd guy tried to collect should also fall into your hands.

If you sell that batch of eggs, it will be a lot of money! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei was shocked.

Roger knew about the other three submarines, and he was not surprised at all. After all, they came back together, and the Office of Security could easily find them.

However, not many people know about the batch of eggs.

Almost all those in the know are their own people.

So how did Roger know?

"Could it be that guy Lanny?"

Meng Lei remembered Lanny, the fat boss of the war supplies store. Only after he got off the ship, he immediately separated from everyone and disappeared from Meng Lei's sight.

Apart from him, no one else could possibly reveal the secret.

However, how did this guy Lenny know Roger? And poked this thing out with a big mouth?

Doesn't this make sense?

After thinking about it, Meng Lei was at a loss.

Roger saw that his expression was different, and immediately smiled:

"Captain Meng, don't think too much, this kind of thing is easy to find out.

The net closing work of the Rongyan outpost is almost over. Mayor Bud committed suicide and swallowed a gun to end his life.

We counted the approximate number of infected people at the scene, and the number of eggs collected by the radical members, there is a huge gap.

And the two transport boats parked outside the city were also sunk by you.

Where the disappearing painted skin worm eggs went is naturally obvious. "

Holding up the teacup, seeing Meng Lei's expression becoming nervous again, Roger laughed again:

"Don't worry, that's what you deserve, and I'll help you keep this matter down.

In response to this mission, the material rewards given by the alliance are indeed indescribable.

But there is no way, even if I try my best, I can only help you achieve this result.

The number of foreigners has soared, and the financial department has been very anxious recently, and refuses to let go.

But the changes in prestige and purchasing power are enough to make up for your regrets a little. "

Meng Lei shrugged noncommittally. Originally, he didn't have much opinion on the reward given by this alliance.

The only worry is, if the worm eggs are discovered by the Alliance, will they be forcibly confiscated for fear of causing large-scale chaos.

Since Roger said that he could help him settle it, it would be better.

"Then I'll thank Director Luo first!"

Meng Lei looked at Roger with a serious face and expressed his gratitude.

I have to say, it feels really good to have someone up there.

Roger smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

After a pause, Roger suddenly remembered something, and then said:

"By the way, if the batch of eggs is going to be shot, I can help you find someone.

Not only can it prevent the hidden danger of being bought and spread maliciously by people with intentions, but it can also make you more money! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:

"who?"

Roger responded:

"The person in charge of an alliance biological research institute occasionally goes to the black market to purchase various aberration factors and unknown genetic material, and this new type of painted worm eggs also belongs to their research scope.

Presumably, he will be very interested! "

Meng Lei is still a little puzzled:

"If you sell it to him, it is equivalent to selling it to the alliance. Will the purchase price be higher than others?"

Roger nodded and affirmed:

"Of course, most of the alliance's annual financial expenses are spent on military and scientific research projects, and people's livelihood expenses are not much at all.

For a biological research institute like this, the annual financial allocations are astronomical, spending money like water!

The person in charge of that biological research institute is also a member of our Exploration faction. It would be very easy to ask him to appropriately increase the price for you and falsely report a batch of research funds to the alliance!

In the future, no matter what anomalous materials you collect about alien creatures, you can make them recover at a high price.

Although I can't directly provide you with financial assistance, this method can be regarded as a disguised form of support..."

Roger smiled and looked at Meng Lei with sincere eyes.

Meng Lei showed a hint of gratitude and shock on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already blooming with joy!

Roger is such a nice guy!

Great guy!

Although he didn't throw a stack of banknotes directly to make Meng Lei call his father, the help he provided was in no way inferior to the shock of directly throwing money at Meng Lei.

If you can climb the relationship of the head of the Alliance Biological Research Institute, there will be too many opportunities to make money in the future.

Wool is undoubtedly the coolest.

In particular, the wool of this sheep will never go away!

Thinking of this, Meng Lei suddenly felt an inexplicable sympathy for the alliance.

There is no doubt that since the person in charge of the Biological Research Institute is a member of the Exploration faction of the separation organization.

Then all the research results of this outpost are undoubtedly shared with the separation organization synchronously.

Paying a lot of money for your opponents to do research yourself is already a big deal in itself.

But now, Blue Star players like Meng Lei and the others have also joined in. The alliance is equivalent to paying for two opponents!

This is simply a great man in the world!

"How, is there any problem?"

At this moment, Roger's low and magnetic voice sounded again, interrupting Meng Lei's thoughts.

"No more no more!"

Meng Lei shook his head repeatedly, with a sincere smile on his face, and said:

"Since Director Luo has mentioned this step, if I continue to shirk it, I will be a little ignorant! I wish us a happy cooperation!"

As he said that, Meng Lei stretched out his right hand and shook it lightly with Roger.

Roger also smiled and nodded, affirming: "Happy cooperation!"

When the voice fell, Meng Lei said:

"Director Luo, although we have initially reached a cooperation intention, I will discuss the specific development plan in the future with other members of the fleet.

If you have a more clearly specified development direction here, you can also communicate with me in time, and we will discuss it. "

Roger nodded, drank the tea in the cup, and said:

"no problem!

After confirming the cooperation object, I will also report to the organization here. The think tank will make more detailed plans based on the distribution of resources in the sea areas where each channel is located, so as to improve the establishment of our future supply system!

If there is news, I will contact you. "

"it is good!"

Meng Lei nodded affirmatively.

At this point, the negotiation can be said to be over.

The key purpose of this secret meeting has been achieved. Meng Lei does not intend to stay any longer, and is ready to get up and retire.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something and asked again:

"By the way, Director Luo, the person in charge of the biological research institute you just mentioned, how should I contact him.

Also, where would you choose the trading location? "

Roger got up from his desk, picked up his tablet, and shared the contact information of the other party with Meng Lei via text message.

Then he said:

"I'll say hello to him later and briefly explain the situation.

As for the trading location, there is a high probability that the colony of Barona will be chosen. The black market there is actually controlled by the alliance. Many scientific research institutions within the alliance will be purchased in Barona.

The main reason is that the safety factor there is relatively high, and even if something goes wrong, it is easier to deal with than on the pirate's site. "

Meng Lei nodded when he heard the words.

Sure enough, that independent colony located in the hydrothermal wasteland sea area, the manipulator behind the scenes is really the alliance!

It seems that Chen Yu and the others were right in their previous guess. There is some truth to the fact that the behemoth of the Alliance can stand in the deep sea for a hundred years.

"correct!"

Suddenly, Roger seemed to remember something, frowned slightly, and said:

"The sea area where the Barona colony is located is already full of dangers. Recently, the shallow area may not be as safe as before.

If you're going to trade, you'd better do it as soon as possible!

And, be sure to prepare in advance and upgrade the submarine to avoid accidents on the road! "

Facing Roger's concerned gaze, Meng Lei took a deep breath and suddenly realized a problem.

"You mean, space tide?"

Roger looked surprised, and the brown eyes hidden behind the silver-framed glasses shone with a strange light, saying:

"You know about the eruption of space tides!?"

Meng Lei nodded and briefly described to Roger what happened to the observer on the way back.

Roger smiled slightly, glanced at the two teacups on the coffee table, and said:

"It seems that today's pot of Netherworld stinging skin tea has been arranged in place, just to relieve your sequelae, which is much more effective than most drug treatments!"

After a pause, Roger said again:

"Yes, a new round of space tides is indeed coming.

The Alliance and our Exploration faction have obtained confirmation from the waters in the flat zone. Recently, a large number of alien sea monsters in the deep zone have begun to appear, and the ancient space devices used to monitor tidal eruptions have also been abnormal one after another.

All the evidence is showing that disaster is coming! "

"Then the alliance still chose to fight at this time, wouldn't the losses be more serious?"

Meng Lei raised the doubts that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, and hoped that Roger could give an answer.

However, Roger also shook his head helplessly and said:

"Originally in the Rongyan Outpost Incident~www.novelbuddy.com~ we just wanted to remove a few radical sites to show punishment and deterrence.

But in the end, the Presidium of the First Sea Area chose to declare war in a high-profile manner, trying to provoke the outbreak of a full-scale war, which we did not expect.

As for the real reason, no one knows.

The documents issued by the alliance are consistent with the external caliber. Although there seems to be no problem, it always makes people feel that something is wrong. "

After a pause, Roger put on a relaxed tone, patted Meng Lei on the shoulder, and said:

"Don't think about these issues for the time being, and I will always keep an eye on them.

Regarding the full eruption of space tides, from past experience, it will take at least a month or so, and you still have a certain amount of time to prepare.

Act now! "
