Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 430: Mineral veins and larvae
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 out of thin air in this place, then Adding a monster that "eats" radiation 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 steadily rising.
On the cave wall, blocks of dense pitch-like ore began to appear. These ores are high-purity pitchuranos, dark black in color, showing a resin luster, and extremely radioactive.
The bituminous uranium is one of the main channels for humans to obtain uranium from nature. The general bituminous uranium contains 40% to 70% uranium, like the large amount of bituminous uranium in this cave. If placed in the real world, it will undoubtedly be a wealth that is enough for various forces to steal their heads.
Uranium itself is an extremely rare radioactive metal element. The average content in the earth’s crust is only two parts per million. In the old days, China, as the fifth country with nuclear weapons in the world, was actually a Countries that are 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 terribly high.
The vast majority of nuclear fuel used by China's nuclear power plants need to be imported 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 completely Occupied by a hostile camp, China’s annual nuclear fuel imports have shrunk by a large amount 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 been shut down. Have become decorations.
Fortunately in the coastal areas, many inland cities often suffer from 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 would cost a few times between the imperial capital and the magic capital. Enough to buy the 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, they will be immersed in a pool full of highly toxic substances. There is no difference here, but for Qi Lin, standing in this cave actually feels like a spring breeze.
The energy storage of the internal radiant battery has long been full, and the overflowing energy forms a stream of heat that quickly travels among the limbs and skeletal bodies. At this moment, Qi Lin’s various basic physical attributes have completely reached the ordinary four-level evolutionary. Standards.
Qi Lin advanced more than three hundred meters into the depths of the cave, and finally encountered him the first living creature after falling into the cave.
It was a small "slug" of course. The meaning of "small" means that compared with the guy in the reactor of the Herrens Power Station above, this "slug" is half a meter in length. , The thickest part of the body is about the same thickness as the thighs of an adult fat man. It is sucking on 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 in an instant, directed towards Qi Lin’s forehead. Stabbed.
Qi Lin immediately activated 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, then grabbed 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 corrosive pus everywhere, and two drops splashed on Qi Lin On the back of his hand, a needle-like tenderness immediately came from there.
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 Qi Lin's back with two scars.
Qi Lin wiped off the contaminated fluid, and the body's self-recovery function immediately began to run. After a while, the dead skin and blood scabs on the two injured parts fell off from the top, revealing the new powder below. Tender skin.
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 enriched location of bituminous uranium ore. A large amount of ore is exposed from the cave wall~ IndoMTL.com~ The radiation concentration in the environment has reached 170 or more.
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, there are several tons of ore stripped from the frozen soil. At first glance, on these dark ore piles, almost every few meters, there is a plump larva. Compared with what Qi Lin encountered outside, the body was a few times bigger.
Using an improper metaphor to describe, 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 are Those who belonged to the "concubine" not only did not get the best resources, but also had to stand in front of these "concubine". When the "invader" Qi Lin came in, they were the first to be killed.
The larvae here enjoy more abundant resources, and the larvae developed are more mature than those in the tunnel outside. Most of the larvae Qi Lin encounters outside can only give birth to one or two tentacles, and the most one is only one. There are only three, and the larvae in this hollow 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 snatches. The ore situation happened. 2k reading net
