Catastrophe
Chapter 28: giant room
After listening to Ning Zhe's words, Su Fei sighed Hanako worriedly: "Azhe, it's not that I don't help you, but I really can't get anti-inflammatory drugs! Don't talk about the city! Outside, I am afraid that it is not easy to buy even in the city now, and now that the Pei clan and Jing clan are at war, all kinds of materials are in short supply, and all materials during the war must be given priority to the army!"
"Jing's chaebol? Are they also from the city?" Ning Zhe felt relatively unfamiliar when he heard the name. Fort No. 87, where they made a living, was controlled by the Pei chaebol. I heard that the officials in the management center in the fort were all controlled by the Pei chaebol. Appointed by the chaebol, as for what organization this chaebol was, he couldn't tell.
"There are four chaebols in the northern part of the federation. There is a saying among the people that after Xiahou is Jing Pei, followed by the Lu family in Mobei. The Jing refers to the second-ranked chaebol of the Jing clan. As for Mobei, there are four chaebols. The Lu family should not have reached the standard of a chaebol, but the Lu family has already established several fortresses of their own in Mobei, which can be regarded as a force that cannot be ignored." Su Fei found that Ning Zhe seemed to be more interested in this matter. , so I explained it to him.
"You mean, Pei's people don't just own Fort No. 87? There's more?" Ning Zhe felt a little shocked after listening to Su Fei's words. Before that, he had never heard anyone mention it. The matter of the chaebol, for the refugees, the chaebol is a mysterious existence like a mountain, no one can uncover their mysterious veil, and he always thought that Pei would be the most powerful person among No. 87. , I didn't expect No. 87 to be only one of Pei's properties.
Su Fei smiled and shook his head: "How can there be only one, these chaebols are all behemoths that you can't imagine, and the Federation is controlled by the presidium composed of these chaebols. Take the Jing family as an example, they control at least more than 20 seats. Even the Pei clan has more than fifteen fortresses! Moreover, these chaebols are still building new fortresses in an attempt to control more land and resources! The reason for the war between the Jing clan and the Pei clan this time, It is said that the war broke out because both sides were attracted to a mountain range rich in mines at the same time."
"What about the Dark Horse Company? Do you know anything about this company?" After listening to Su Fei's words, Ning Zhe asked again. He had been investigated by mercenaries for robbing Dark Horse Company's chips before. However, although he has already passed the test, Ning Zhe has a faint feeling that this matter will never pass easily.
"Dark horse?" When Su Fei heard the name, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and soon returned to normal: "This is a very powerful company in the north, because they master the multi-stage pump technology of the old world, There is also the purification technology of groundwater. As far as I know, these fortresses in the north all use the water diversion system of the Dark Horse Company. They are the biggest water sellers. There are water towers in a lot of cities, and they're asking everyone who drinks water to pay."
"If according to what you said, the dark horse controls the drinking water of so many cities at the same time, doesn't it stifle the lifeblood of these chaebols?" Ning Zhe lives in a poor refugee area, and knows the importance of water sources better than anyone else. Understand the power of the dark horse company.
"Dark Horse Company does have a monopoly on technology, but it is not as powerful as you said, because the people of the chaebol are not fools. They can think of anything you can think of, and naturally they will not hand over their weakness to the Dark Horse Company. They use the equipment of the dark horse company, just because the dark horse company's equipment is more advanced, but even if they leave the dark horse company, they can filter the groundwater by the soil method, but it is more troublesome." Su Fei paused: "The dark horse company has technology, but only Technology is not enough, because building water purification and pumping systems requires a lot of resources, which they don't have. In the north, resources are almost all in the hands of chaebols. For example, Pei's monopoly of iron ore and coal mines, and Jing's monopoly In terms of oil, natural gas, etc., even the newly emerging Lu family is only because they have found suitable land for planting, and they will grow big when they have food! Otherwise, the chaebols will not tolerate someone robbing them of cakes, so the dark horse company Although it provides convenience to the chaebols, the chaebols are also suppressing them from a certain angle.”
"Since the chaebols have so much power, why not just annex or replace the dark horse company?" Ning Zhe raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The nuclear explosion caused by the cataclysm in the past had a wide range, and the electromagnetic pulses and radiation clouds generated almost paralyzed and scrapped electronic equipment around the world. Most of what was left was rusted, and even the direction of scientific and technological development was changed because of this! And the dark horse company controls With the manufacturing process of the lithography machine, the equipment they produce requires chip drivers and upgrade programs, and the chip manufacturing process is almost irreplaceable... In the Federation, many companies have technology that surpasses that of the chaebol, just because of the presidium's suppression, As a result, they do not have so many manpower, material resources and resources, and naturally it is difficult to form the same influence as the chaebols." Su Fei responded succinctly: "The chaebols check and balance each other, and they will also tacitly exclude new forces from entering this circle."
"So this situation of mutual monopoly has kept the chaebols in a delicate balance, but they all hope to make up for their shortcomings and not be controlled by others. The war you say is ultimately because of interests!" Ning Zhe One sentence summed up Su Fei's central idea.
"Yes, those chaebol people stand taller than us refugees and look farther than us refugees. What they have to do is not to survive, but how to survive more comfortably." Su Fei looked at Ning seriously. Zhe: "At least chaebol people will never be exhausted for a few antibiotics! They have a huge amount of resources and can control the lives and deaths of countless people, making people work for them and playing with the lives of others! This kind of Pleasure, we can't imagine and experience it!"
Su Fei's erudition once again shocked Ning Zhe. His knowledge outside of Fort No. 87 is far better than everyone else Ning Zhe knows. However, apart from his knowledge, Su Fei does not need to be strong in Ning Zhe. Go, because he also has no way to find medicine.
…
When Ning Zhe returned to Zhao Yi's house, Fatty Li was already awake, and Zhao Yi also made porridge from the miscellaneous noodles at home and was feeding Fatty Li.
"Brother, have you got the medicine?" Lin Xun asked softly when he saw Ning Zhe's return.
"No, I heard that all the materials in the fortress were bought by the chaebols. Su Fei asked us to mix some light salt water to wipe Fatty Li's wounds, saying that this would have some sterilization effect." Ning Zhe explained softly.
"I just heard Zhao Yi mention that UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com said that the water supply system in the city failed to upgrade recently, resulting in a shortage of water. The law enforcement team in the factory area has begun to strictly investigate the situation of reselling drinking water. I am afraid that the price of this water is about to rise. Lin Xun heard the words and sighed. They were not like those migrants who were migrant workers. They could receive a daily quota. They had to pay for their food and clothing. They rarely see prey within their hunting range.
For them, this winter seems to be getting harder and harder.
"That's not the most important thing." Ning Zhe glanced at Fatty Li and found that he didn't pay attention to his side, and continued: "Last night, after I chased out, I saw the person who took the lead in assassinating us. It was Li Bin!"
"Damn! How could it be him?!" Lin Xun couldn't help but scolded, seeing Ning Zhe give him a look, and then he whispered: "He got mixed up with the people from Black Flag?"
"It's better this way, I wanted to find him originally, since he's brought him to the door by himself, we've saved a lot of trouble!" Ning Zhe's eyelids drooped, and a murderous look flashed.
"There are only two of us now. If we want to deal with the black flag, I'm afraid it will be difficult! There are still a lot of outlaws gathered under Xiao Qi! If Xiao Qi wants to protect him, it will be troublesome!" Lin Xun finished his thoughts. , but there is no objection to the matter of revenge: "Or we two go to the black flag's site to see?"
"This matter can't be rushed, we have to be cautious! Xiao Qi has more than one enemy in the market town, and there are many prostitutes under his command, and his usual whereabouts are uncertain. Let's make a rash move, the danger is too great! Desperate is not our goal, Revenge is!" Ning Zhe glanced at Fatty Li from the corner of his eye: "Now that Dongbao is dead, don't let Fatty Li know about Li Bin."
