Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 430 Mineral Veins and Juveniles

If there really is a uranium ore vein here, everything can be completely explained. Moreover, Mongolia’s original uranium reserves are not small. If the main brain wants to generate a uranium ore vein in this place out of thin air, add another. "Eating" radiation monsters to increase the difficulty of the game is completely logical and routine.

The monster that attacked the Herrens Power Station used radiant energy as food, and only a whole uranium vein could support this guy to grow to such a terrifying level.

As Qi Lin gets deeper and deeper into the cave, the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment is also rising steadily.

On the cave wall, blocks of pitch-like compact ore began to appear. These ores are all high-purity pitchuranium ore, black in color, showing a resin luster, and extremely radioactive.

Bituminous uranium is one of the main channels for humans to obtain uranium from nature. Generally, the uranium content of bituminous uranium reaches 40% to 70%. Like this cave, there are such large amounts of bituminous uranium. In the real world, that is undoubtedly a wealth that is enough for various forces to steal their heads.

Uranium itself is an extremely rare radioactive metal element, with an average content of only two parts per million in the earth’s crust. In the old days, China, as the fifth country with nuclear weapons in the world, was in fact extremely scarce of nuclear fuel. Although uranium reserves occupy the top ten in the world, there are not many high-quality uranium mines, and there are very few that can be mined to make nuclear fuel, and the cost is scary.

The vast majority of nuclear fuel used in China's nuclear power plants depends on imports from Australia, South Africa and other countries. Since the start of the Third World War, those countries that supply China with nuclear fuel have either joined the hostile camp or have been completely hostile. Occupied, China’s annual nuclear fuel imports have shrunk by a large margin in those few years. Nearly two-thirds of China’s nuclear power plants were forced to shut down. Coupled with the shortage of fossil fuels, conventional thermal power plants have also become Furnishings.

The coastal areas are okay. Many inland cities often have insufficient power supply. In many cases, the cities at night are in darkness.

In addition to electricity, the price of oil has also risen to an extremely terrifying level. It is even no exaggeration to say that a car with a cost of about 100,000 yuan, a few round trips between the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, is enough Buy that car.

...

This cave was dug completely following the trend of the veins of the uranium mine. The radiation concentration in the cave has reached 110 or more. If ordinary people are here, it is almost no different from being immersed in a pool full of highly toxic substances. , But for Qi Lin, standing in this cave actually felt like a spring breeze.

The energy storage of the internal radiation battery has long been full, and the overflowing energy forms a heat flow that quickly travels through the limbs and skeletal bodies. At this moment, Qi Lin's various basic physical attributes have fully reached the standard of an ordinary four-level evolutionary.

Qi Lin advanced more than three hundred meters into the depths of the cave, and finally encountered his first living creature after falling into the cave.

That is a small "slug". Of course, this "small" means that compared with the guy in the reactor of the Herrens Power Station above, this "slug" is half a meter long and has the most body The thick part is almost as thick as the thigh of an adult fat man, and it is sticking to a bituminous uranium ore exposed from the soil above the roof of the cave, creeping slightly.

"This little thing...is it the juvenile body of the monster above?" Qi Lin glanced at the little "slug" and walked in a few steps.

However, before Qi Lin could get close to the ten-meter range of this juvenile body, the other party had already noticed the existence of Qi Lin, and a tentacle with the thickness of fingers grew out of his body instantly, piercing towards Qi Lin's forehead. .

Qi Lin immediately started the partial metalization of his body, and the tips of his tentacles pierced his metallic forehead heavily, making a sound peculiar to a metal collision.

The tentacles of the juvenile body quickly retracted without a hit, but Qi Lin didn't let him go like this, and quickly probed with his right hand before grabbing the thin tentacle in his hand.

The starting point was full of sticky touch, Qi Lin pulled hard, and the juvenile body was pulled down from the adsorbed uranium ore and fell to the ground.

Qi Lin took a step forward, drew out the Gauss pistol, aimed at the juvenile body, and pulled the trigger.

Naturally, the juvenile body cannot be compared with the monster above. With just one shot, the entire juvenile body was directly exploded, splashing with corrosive pus everywhere, and two drops splashed on the back of Qi Lin's hand. , There immediately came a needle-like tenderness.

The body fluid of the juvenile body...well, or the blood is extremely acidic, and the blood concentration is much higher than that of the big guy above, instantly burning the back of Qi Lin's hand with two scars.

Qi Lin wiped off the contaminated fluid, and the body's self-recovery function immediately began to operate. After a while, the dead skin and blood scabs on the two injured parts fell off from the top, exposing the new pink skin below.

Qi Lin continued to walk towards the depths of the cave. Along the way, more than a dozen juveniles like this were encountered, all of which were bombarded by Qi Lin with a Gauss pistol.

This is already the most concentrated location of bituminous uranium ore, a large amount of ore is exposed from the cave wall, and the radiation concentration in the environment has reached more than 170.

After passing through the last section of the tunnel, the cave suddenly opened up, and an underground cavity with a diameter of more than 100 meters appeared in front of Qi Lin.

In this underground cavity, several tons of ore stripped from the frozen soil are piled up. At first glance, on these dark ore piles, almost every few meters, there is a plump juvenile. These juveniles are in harmony. Compared to what Lin encountered outside, it was quite a few laps bigger.

To describe it with an inappropriate metaphor, the juveniles here are like those in the big family who are in the safest place, enjoying the best resources in the whole family, while those outside belong to those " Not only did the bastards not get the best resources, but they also had to stand in front of these bastards. When Qi Lin, the intruder, came in, they were the first to be killed.

The larvae here enjoy more abundant resources, and the larvae that develop are more mature than those in the tunnel outside. Most of the larvae that Qi Lin encounters outside can only spawn one or two tentacles, and the most one is only three. And the larvae in this cavity have more than a dozen tentacles on their backs, constantly carrying the ore from a distance to their side, and even among some larvae, there will be situations of looting the ore. occur.2k reading network
