Surreal Games: I’m An Engineer

Chapter 479: Resource shortages

At this moment, various complicated thoughts kept pouring into his consciousness, and the prayers and murmurs of various believers spread to his heart from various directions.

It's just that at this time he didn't want to absorb these incense thoughts, and he didn't want to pay attention to all kinds of requests.

He just ignored it and didn't respond to anything.

Listening to these sounds can feel irritating at first, but when you focus all your attention on yourself, all the distractions disappear.

And now there are two more things in his self-consciousness, one is the Golden Crow like a living creature, and the other is the great sun hanging in the high sky.

These two represent his achievements in sorcery and Sunstrider respectively, not related to his body, but to become one with his consciousness.

When he completely got rid of the interference caused by the factors, he truly felt the mystery of his heart.

"The space of consciousness should be located in the upper dantian in the body, which is the so-called Zifu"

"But consciousness itself is a man's 'god'"

"The 'God' among the three spirits, spirit and spirit"

"The Golden Crow manifested by the fifth-level spell I have now should be a part of consciousness, and the other huge sun is from the inheritance of the Sunstrider."

"Both are important elements that make up 'God'"

Jiang Yang's consciousness is constantly thinking about the changes of self. Consciousness itself has no power, but as long as it can have a carrier, the inheritance in consciousness can play a role.

"So, this incense body that I created for myself will also become a real 'God'"

"cry~"

As he deepened his understanding of his own consciousness, his entire self-consciousness directly turned into a sun that radiated golden radiance.

The golden crow nests in the sun, and the sun itself is sacred and majestic.

The endless brilliance and heat directly destroyed all kinds of distracting thoughts in the incense mind power, turning these incense mind power into pure incense.

These incense can no longer interfere with Jiang Yang's consciousness, but they are not real divine power, they are just barely able to maintain a vague figure.

It is something like smoke, like particles, which are fragments of consciousness of sentient beings.

Then Jiang Yang's consciousness completely grasped this vague humanoid body. From today on, he finally has a body of his own in this world.

Next, he only needs to find the right person and develop the forces affiliated to the temple, so that he can get more information about the world.

And as long as there are more people who believe in him, the more incense power he will gain.

And these incense mind power is also a kind of conscious energy in essence, as long as it is processed by him, it can be used.

As for how to use it, Jiang Yang has a complete psychic system in his hands.

Isn't the realization of consciousness and the change of reality through consciousness what the psionic system is best at?

Thinking like this, Jiang Yang's consciousness gradually returned to his body. The biggest temptation for him in the world of immortals was not resources, population, or wealth.

It is the exercises and knowledge mastered by the so-called immortals.

Above the clouds in the Kingdom of Emperor Jia, the sun that Jiang Yang opened his eyes has risen high, and the golden light shines on him through the window.

"Photon, what time is it?"

"Your Excellency, today is September 23 at 11:21 am"

"Really"

Jiang Yang rubbed his forehead, but now his body doesn't feel tired, but his self-consciousness is a little dazed.

"How is the current situation in the refuge base?"

"Due to the cold wave, the refuge base is still in a state of blockade, but the internal construction plan has begun to proceed normally."

"Now all additional resources and raw materials can only be searched from the outside world by means of combat armor"

Normal people can't handle such extremely cold weather at all, so they can only continue to work in the refuge base.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you to arrange"

Jiang Yang nodded and stopped asking, but began to move his body and prepare to cook some meals.

At the same time, the situation in other countries is similar. The coastal areas are greatly affected by the cold wave, which puts the flooded cities in a frozen state.

It's just that there are no living people in today's cities, and death and loneliness have become new synonyms for those once prosperous cities.

The northern and eastern coastal areas of the Condor Empire were also severely affected, but the towering mountains to the west prevented the cold wave from continuing to extend inland.

Compared with other countries, this is much better. At the same time, they have completed the land-based ark. At this time, it is like a huge metal city moving on the mountains and plains.

In the future, these land arks of the Condor Empire will gradually move away from those areas with volcanoes and high cold.

Because of the low-lying terrain, the Omega Alliance was flooded by seawater and was severely affected.

It's just that their people have been transferred to the sky city in advance. This huge magical artifact like the fairy tale has the ability to get off the ground and naturally will not be afraid of the sea.

From this, we can see the foresight of the new regime of the Omega Alliance, and they definitely took this kind of disaster into consideration.

For a time, it seemed that all the major countries in the world had come up with the results they had planned for a long time, and showed them generously in front of everyone.

It's just that apart from them, there are very few people who can survive on the remote lands in those poor and weak countries.

In the face of natural and man-made disasters, there is no so-called equality, and some only have to struggle to survive and get shelter.

Jiang Yang, who had eaten some food, began to arrange for Photon to step up time to continue related production tasks.

In the face of such a huge disaster, it is impossible for other countries to manage how it develops at such a critical juncture.

"Your Excellency, there are currently nine small flying warships and one large flying warship in the Empire."

"The rest of the flying warships produced are arranged in high orbits in space, around industrial bases and on lunar bases."

"The other thing is that the basic resources we exchanged with the Dragon Kingdom through the sale of various materials in the early stage have been almost consumed."

"At present, we can only rely on our own mining of various minerals to provide raw materials for our production"

Hearing Jiang Yang's words, the photon began to report the latest situation to him.

"Is there a problem with the raw materials?"

Jiang Yang frowned and began to ponder the reason why they were able to develop so fast.

The main reason is that a large amount of basic industrial resources have been obtained through the sale of Warcraft to the Special Bureau and the acquisition of the inventory in the hands of those private groups.

Raw materials such as copper, steel, coke, rare metals, etc. are not produced casually.

But now the resources that have been purchased and stored have been almost consumed, and related minerals can only be excavated in the mountains near the industrial base.

However, there is no rich mining area in the first place, and the basic resources needed to provide the industrial base through this method of mining are definitely insufficient.

"How is the seabed mining plan going?"

"The first excavation system is currently under construction, and it is expected to be four hours before the excavation can begin."

"However, we can only provide some resources for the Starlink construction base at present. To support the entire construction plan, we need to develop at least five such mining systems."

"As for the industrial base, it is not efficient enough to use this method due to the distance. It takes more than ten hours for the aircraft to go back and forth. If the industrial base is supplemented in this way, at least twelve additional aircrafts need to be built. Only the seabed mining system can meet the requirements of long-distance mining and transportation”

"But we still need to find another solution for coal resources, so I think it is the most important to find places with richer resources."

Photon gave a detailed answer to the questions raised by Jiang Yang.

"Show the world resource map for me to see"

"Yes"

Soon the information that Jiang Yang wanted appeared on the screen of the flying battleship. The map marked various resource-rich locations.

Excluding those countries that were still powerful, Jiang Yang targeted one country.

"Oga Empire!"

"Photon, how is the situation in this country now?"

"Since the main population of the Oga Empire is concentrated in the northern part of the continent, as well as the east and west coasts, these areas are currently severely affected by rising sea levels."

"And because of the geographical location~lightnovelpub.net~ the area has not been affected by the cold wave, so it is still in floods"

Photon immediately projected the relevant satellite image data, and at the same time explained the relevant situation to Jiang Yang.

"That means the country is actually not very well prepared this time."

Jiang Yang's eyes are cold, because the resources occupied by this country are too rich.

Various iron ore, coal, and other metal mines are numerous, and the most critical development is relatively easy.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the Oga Empire is sparsely populated. The original total population is less than 50 million. The overall military strength and player strength are relatively weak."

"According to the available information, although their players have also acquired some technologies with a relatively high level of technology"

"But the time is too short, the population is too small, they have not developed at all, they just took out some nuclear bombs in the sea beast landing battle"

"But according to the intelligence I have gathered, these nuclear bombs are not produced by them, but obtained from the game world"
