It was almost dark before Somo stepped out of the underground part of Pingtan Shelter.

Discussions with Liehu about rebuilding the western suburbs were unsuccessful.

This bald man looks silly, but he is actually much smarter than ordinary people.

Being able to become a manager and sit in this position for more than ten years without wavering means that he will not sacrifice everything for any plans or prospects.

As for the reason for the failure, it is quite simple.

Still the same sentence.

If you want to build infrastructure, you either need people or money.

The former flat beach shelter is affordable, but the latter is like a bottomless pit.

Before finding a new resource trading point, no one is willing to take out the reserve materials and throw them into this hole.

Even after Sumo calmed down and thought about it, he realized that rebuilding the western suburbs was not a plan that should be done at this stage.

Damn it, they were all led astray by this idiot Xie Hu.

"At least until the end of this winter, there is no need to worry about these things."

Riding the airship over the warning wall, looking at the sparks on the ground below, Somo thought thoughtfully in his heart.

Apart from the failure of the reconstruction plan, today's other gains are extremely rich.

Not only did they successfully borrow two thousand ready combat forces from Pingtan, but they also negotiated the supply of materials for the next three months, as well as some fragmentary cooperation issues.

The specific amount of money you can earn is not important. What is important is that it promotes the economic circulation in the territory.

Once money circulates, its growth rate will be unimaginable.

It is enough to predict that after this winter passes, the first generation residents in the territory will quickly become rich.

As for the news from Yehu that nuclear power plants require fuel rods to start.

The airship was parked in front of the research institute. Before Sumo could enter, he saw Lu Kuan coming out.

"Hey, when I went there, the guard said you had gone to Pingtan. I didn't expect you would be back so soon."

"It's not too early either."

Looking at the dim sky, Somo nodded slightly.

"How is the research on that nuclear generator going? Can it be manufactured?"

"able."

Lu Kuan gave an affirmative answer.

"But I have to tell you some bad news. The capabilities of this nuclear power plant may not be as powerful as you think."

"You need fuel rods, right?"

"Ah? You know?"

While Lu Kuan was puzzled, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It is not difficult to build a nuclear power plant with a dedicated industrial core, and most of the required materials can be found.

The only rare materials, because they require less materials, can also be obtained through the decomposition machine previously traded from the Red Spider Caravan, which decomposes the unique garbage in the city.

But regarding the fuel rods needed to start nuclear power plants, this is not a problem that can be solved by garbage in the city.

There is no source of fuel rods in the documentation, not even the specific composition and ratio.

If Soma insists on using them, let them research fuel rods from scratch.

That was such a headache.

Even scholars like Lu Kuan, who is almost at the pinnacle of human physics, are a little unable to start.

"Let's build the nuclear motor first, and I will find a way to solve the fuel rod problem."

"oh?"

Choosing to ignore Lu Kuan's question, Su Mo smiled and changed the topic.

Finding fuel rods is easier said than done. Even Tiger Hunter is worried about the upcoming energy crisis, let alone other gopher guys in the city.

Unless they build their shelter, there is absolutely no way to 'borrow' fuel rods.

At present, the only one who knows the news and can definitely have it.

There is only Hu Lai City for enterprises.

But there are thousands of kilometers away from Tianyuan territory.

Just as winter is coming again, Sumo doesn't want to take advantage of such bad weather to lead people through thousands of miles of mountains to explore unknown areas.

We need to find a closer place, or a place where even if we initiate a fight, the situation will not be affected.

Think about this.

Suddenly, Sumo's eyes lit up.

"Ha, I remembered something, let's talk later."

After bidding farewell to Lu Kuan in a hurry and boarding the airship again, Sumo quickly remembered a place where a large number of fuel rods were likely to exist.

That college’s research institute!

According to Catalina, the affiliated research institutes of these colleges are all built in remote areas, where it is absolutely impossible to have complete infrastructure to ensure energy supply, or even if there is, it will be destroyed in the war.

Therefore, nuclear generators that can continuously bring a large amount of energy are obviously a good choice.

We took the airship and arrived about five kilometers west of Hope Village.

In the darkness, several unfinished red brick buildings appeared in view.

This is currently the only breeding farm in the territory.

When influenza viruses broke out frequently in the past, this place was built as a temporary isolation point and temporarily housed many residents suffering from fever symptoms.

But with the construction of Kaixuan Hospital, it was gradually abandoned.

The sharp-eyed Su Chan saw it and took the opportunity to use it as a breeding farm.

Like those coolie lizards that pull carts, they usually move around in the fenced off area near the red brick house.

However, with the addition of Catalina, the current breeding farm has undergone some changes.

Before landing, Sumo saw the eye-catching sign hanging on the crooked neck tree at the door.

Institute of Special Biology.

Oops.

Is this to go against Lu Kuan's research institute?

Knowing in his heart the disagreement between the two, Sumo smiled, pushed open the door and walked into the fence.

Because it is an open breeding operation, there is very little odor in the air, which is not as exaggerated as imagined.

Several lizards that were not rented out to pull the cart were walking leisurely on the grass.

When I saw someone coming over, I no longer had the fear I had at first, but instead I approached him affectionately.

'Feed carrots, one iron coin once.'

There is a vending machine next to the fence, with the price and amount of feeding clearly written on it.

Sumo took out an iron coin from his pocket and threw it in with great interest.

A grunting sound sounded.

At the exit, two carrots with obvious bruises rolled out.

“This is a good way to deal with vegetables that cannot be sold and cannot be stored for a long time.”

“I just don’t know if anyone will be free to spend money.”

He threw the carrots to the two lizards at the front and watched them eat for a while.

Sumo shook his neck, pushed open the dividing fence door and walked into the small courtyard of the red brick house.

At a glance.

The two-story building has more than a dozen windows, and six windows are currently lit with light, and figures of people are flickering inside.

Besides Katarina, there should be others living here.

Dong Dong.

"Please come in."

Katarina's voice came from inside.

Hearing this broken Chinese dialect, Su Mo couldn't help but feel surprised on his face, opened the door and walked in.

The spacious room that was originally used for isolation is now filled with various research equipment of Catalina.

Although it is a bit messy, it still looks like a place that a scientific researcher should have.
