The north is rich in supplies.
Each city has signed cooperation agreements with the two northern cities.
Even the city of Mowu is no exception.
"Although those experts say that the resources underground in Mowu City are enough to last another five hundred years, anyone with a normal mind knows that those experts are lying."
"Even if it is really enough for five hundred years, at least some should be left for future generations. The resources in the north are so abundant that they are overflowing. Their crude oil even comes out of the ground directly, forming large crude oil lakes."
This conflict.
Let residents in various cities know the wealth of the north.
It is just the abundance of materials, and the economic level of the north is not too strong.
There are many individuals and news media on the Internet doing science popularization.
Some of them are popular science about the types of materials and estimated reserves in the two northern cities.
Others are analyzing the impact that the cutoff of the crude oil pipeline will have on those two cities.
"It is quite far from Kerry City to Central City, and there is a vast no-man's land in the middle... After the contract was signed, both parties spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build these crude oil pipelines. A large number of human workers and androids risked their lives in the no-man's land. Dangerous construction…”
"The section that was cut off this time was very long."
Pictures of the scene were quickly transmitted.
Extreme weather happened in the no-man's land where the broken part was located.
The clouds were thick and there was lightning and thunder.
The rumble of thunder was like the wrath of heaven.
It seemed like a huge silver snake thousands of feet long was walking under the dark sky.
Just looking at it gave me a suffocating feeling.
This is the first time many people have seen live broadcast of extreme weather.
It's hailing over there.
Hailstones the size of casseroles.
Even though some politicians and corporate executives have said countless times that they will no longer trust bionic humans, this time they still have no choice but to send bionic humans to investigate first.
"You can see that crude oil is still gushing out. I wonder if the supply facilities in Kerry City have not been shut down. The androids sent by both sides are setting up interception walls with sandbags."
Two interception walls have been set up.
Fortunately, the dug-out area is in a low-lying area, and the crude oil has not flowed too far.
This happened.
But the concern is large-scale pollution.
Even in no man's land we cannot relax.
Nine cities are also occasionally hit by extreme weather.
Everyone understands that if no man's land is left unattended, such harassment will become more and more frequent.
"This isn't about digging pipelines. This is here to steal pipelines."
"A long section of it is gone..."
Stealing pipes is funny.
Regarding crude oil, the most common ones are oil thieves.
In the meeting hall of District 9, everyone was sitting one after another with heavy faces. No one could laugh. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that someone was causing trouble.
There have been many incidents related to crude oil in Mowu City over the years.
Many of the people here are old executives with rich experience and have handled some before.
This kind of thing mostly happens in towns far away from urban areas.
Especially some villages.
At first, someone would dig out underground crude oil pipelines, drill holes in them, connect a small copper pipe, and install valves.
Steal a little every day and take it to the ground for refining.
How much can you earn
Later it spread to the whole village.
In some places, tankers are even used to pull the goods, which is a blatant disregard for the law.
The local executive bureau was also helpless.
The villagers would place a knife at the entrance of the executive bureau with a stack of money under the knife.
The meaning is self-evident.
This kind of thing is difficult to do.
If it were an entire village, it would be difficult to arrest them all.
Some villagers looked like they didn't want their lives, and directly hit the muzzle of the gun, shouting for the executioner to shoot.
Mowu's oil companies lose hundreds of millions every year.
It's just stealing oil in some places, drilling holes is not standardized.
Crude oil leaked, causing pollution for several kilometers.
The problem is most serious in places with running water. Cleaning up pollution every time is quite a headache.
"The pipeline was dug. Even the senior officials of Central City and Cree City didn't know about it yet. Ordinary people knew about it. The news came out almost as soon as it was dug. It was obvious that someone deliberately released it." An old executive said The officer said.
The senior officials of those two cities are naturally very sensible.
Crude oil cooperation is beneficial to both of them.
This is a relationship of interest.
No fool would unilaterally terminate this level of interest, unless he really looked away and had no desires or desires.
But people who have no desires and desires generally cannot sit in high-level positions.
"We can't control this matter, let them solve it themselves."
"Let's talk about West's side first."
There is still no clue about the West Warehouse bombing.
People in the two cities even trolled each other all day long.
From yesterday to now, things have come and gone.
The cultural crystallization of thousands of years of human civilization has been applied when trolling people.
All kinds of treasure-level curse masters are beating the drums.
"We asked several companies that supply military supplies yesterday... "
Everyone started discussing.
In Mowu City, apart from the red and blue companies, the richest ones are probably the military-industrial companies, all of which are privately owned.
Mowu City purchases a batch of weapons and ammunition every year.
The budget comes from various military departments and urban defense departments. After the general budget results are released, they will be submitted to the parliament for inspection and approval.
It is the parliament that has the final say whether to pay or not.
Every year there are dramas like crying about poverty, asking for money, and not being able to live anymore.
Since there has been no war in Mowu City since its establishment.
So... In order to get money and equipment, some shameless people will even use UFOs and alien threats as an excuse.
Not every military industry company can get a purchase order.
In order to make big orders in Mowu City, these companies will hold weapons exhibitions and actual combat tests from time to time.
This can be regarded as a virtuous circle, allowing each company to continuously improve its weapon capabilities in the competition.
Although weapons of mass destruction have withdrawn from the stage of history, there is still a lot of room for improvement in modern weapons, such as the informatization of individual soldiers that has been discussed in recent years, and the electromagnetic gun that many people are talking about.
"... This company says that it manufactured the bombs, but almost all our army units have them, and we use a lot of them every year in exercises... "
"Could it be something the company did on its own?"
"The city defense is keeping a close eye on us. All the military-industrial enterprises are being targeted, and they will not be allowed to cause trouble."
"They also promised that the weapons and equipment sold to the outside world will not be printed with the logo of Mowu City, only the logo of their own company."
“…”
The investigation team from Mowu City had already set off at 7:30 in the morning and flew to West City.
This team includes representatives of military industry companies, several parliamentarians, experienced executives, bomb experts, emergency response teams... and a group of translators.
This is the first serious diplomatic incident between the two cities in eighty years.
The current mayor Wei Bo'an went there. This was the first thing he really did after taking office besides reinstating the death penalty.
Lu Wen naturally followed.
His fighting ability is very strong, and he can be regarded as the force guarantee of the investigation team.
Even if there is an accident on the plane, as long as it is not too serious, he can try to save one person from death.
Of course Wei Boyan doesn't need anyone to protect him.
He may be the only mayor in the history of Mowu City who does not need bodyguards. Whether those so-called professional bodyguards can defeat him is a question.
But for the mayor's sake, he still got a few accompanying people to block bullets when necessary.
Liang Chen also wanted to get some bodyguards for Lu Wen before.
Wearing a suit and sunglasses, he has a ruthless look on his face.
Lu Wen said no need.
So Liang Chen told him that the bodyguards were not only to protect him, but also to block the media and fans. No matter how powerful a person is, it is difficult to squeeze out from the crazy fans, and they can also be used as a facade. Don't you see there are many third-tier stars? When you leave the airport, you will be accompanied by a large group of bodyguards.
But in the end Lu Wen refused.
Wei Bo'an is obviously not very used to the feeling of being a mayor. He doesn't even have a secretary, so he does everything by himself.
Many personnel arrangements are based on the old foundation of District 10.
He complained: "With this damn weather in July, you still have to wear suits and ties. I don't know where these politicians learned their bad habits. Isn't it quite comfortable to wear short-sleeved shorts for meetings?"
Lu Wen smiled and said: "After all, I have become the mayor, so I have to look like a formal person."
"It's easy to put it. You are an android after all, and you don't get hot."
"Then I'll contact Bilan when I have time and ask them to develop a cooling facility inside the suit."
It's quite cool on the plane, with air conditioning.
When the meeting goes on, even if everything is kept simple, there will still be a series of meeting activities that will make people dizzy.
Departing at 7:30 am, arrival time is 3 pm.
There was still enough time, so Wei Boyan asked: "Is the person you chased yesterday really related to the disappearance case?"
Lu Wen nodded and replied: "It is indeed relevant."
Wei Boyan also knew that Lu Wen was lost, so he just asked: "Are there any clues?"
Lu Wen said: "Not yet, but I have told each executive bureau to pay attention."
Wei Boyan naturally knew that this matter should not be rushed.
At present, although Mowu City is not full of waste, it still has quite a lot of work.
The decision to leave and stay bionic people has always been a big issue, not just in Mowu City, but also in eight other cities.
There are also those who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Escaped from prison.
And some of the patients who escaped from the mental hospital shouting that they were not sick...these patients were all happy.
While the two were chatting.
The section of crude oil pipeline that was dug between Cree City and Central City was found.
This is good news.
Along with the news, there was also a video and some pictures of the scene.
[At 9:10 a.m., emergency repair personnel found these pipes three kilometers away from the dig site]
[The pipe is divided into several sections of the same length and placed on the ground to form a number]
This is an Arabic numeral.
So residents of the nine cities can understand it.
"9?"
