Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
If you have some free time these next few days, just find a few skilled workers to go and take a look." If it's convenient, let's set these things up. Actually, I'm thinking of having them build a training base in the wild. If we keep charging them on the existing power grid, it will probably cause complaints from the whole city.
"If that's the case, I actually have another idea. I collected a lot of precious metals when I was in Windmill City. I didn't know if these things were useful at the time, but I brought them all here. If you have some free time these next few days, just find a few skilled workers to go and take a look."
If it's convenient, let's set these things up. If not, we'll think of other ways. I really can't say for sure right now. Actually, I'm thinking of having them build a training base in the wild.
Therefore, high-power batteries are needed. If we keep charging them on the existing power grid, it will probably cause complaints from the whole city. You know how much electricity those things consume; they cost nearly 100,000 kilowatt-hours per hour. And if it's even more powerful...
I'm afraid even the dedicated power supply line can't handle it. If that happens, I'll be a sinner against the entire city. I haven't done anything for this city; instead, I've plunged it into an energy crisis first.
Actually, Liu Ning didn't find any precious metals in Windmill City. It was just something he copied when Maria took him to visit the power plant last time. Those things were also very good, and this was Liu Ning's last step.
If all of it were brought out, even if Maria were a fool, she would probably sense something. But Liu Ning has no way out now. His guards are burning through money every day. That's just how helpless things are.
If the power supply can't keep up, then this guard team won't be of much use. Liu Ning understands this very well, so he has to do a good job. If he doesn't do this well, then things will be hard to say. So far, it seems that what Liu Ning is doing is acceptable.
As for how it will ultimately turn out, that's not within Liu Ning's consideration. Now, let's see what Maria means. If she's satisfied, we can start implementing it. Of course, if she's unwilling, we definitely won't force her. We're all friends.
"It's not a matter of materials. That's why I didn't mind you building a power plant in the first place. There's nothing particularly good about the technology either. I can provide it for you. But the problem is that maintenance is a big issue later on."
Look at how many people we employ at our power plant. They do so much work every day. So I hope you'll consider the approach I suggested. If your people do this, and it doesn't get going, even if we don't lose everything, it'll definitely cause serious problems later on.”
When it comes to family secrets, Maria always speaks only half the story, which is unavoidable. The Morgan family is currently facing a very rare crisis, mainly because no new power plants have been built.
It's not that they don't have customers; in fact, they have plenty. They've been making a living through maintenance lately, and after a while, they might not have many spare parts left.
Back then, I knew that if you thought you could make a living by maintaining the status quo, that was completely impossible. The situation is like this now: if you take one wrong step, you'll take every wrong step in the future.
Since that's what they said, Liu Ning couldn't go too far. He decided to go with the dedicated power supply line for now. However, Liu Ning didn't have many opportunities like this. He checked online and found that it was exactly as Maria had said.
There are very few minerals for sale outside, just like the ones Wang Tingting smuggled. If it weren't for the rising price of minerals, they probably wouldn't be able to make money from them.
The issue isn't how much is circulating in society now, but rather that the source has been cut off. There are only three companies in the world capable of producing this mineral. Once they stop producing it, the only option left is for humans to trade it with each other.
Hoping that humans can make money by trading with each other is probably not very likely. Liu Ning put his head in that direction, but it turned out to be unsuitable. Why can't we go outside? There is a vast world outside. If we can find a mineral deposit there, wouldn't we make a fortune?
When others have no goods, we can control them, just like a large family like the Morgan family. Many large families are waiting for these things to start. As long as we have these things in our hands, it's like having a key to unlock the door.
We can just call in anytime, and then we'll just do whatever we say, right? After having this thought in mind, Liu Ning felt he had to speak up. After all, he was a complete novice in this area, and if Maria could teach him properly, he might be able to get some better advice.
"Do you know of a scenario where I invest, find some technicians, and we conduct field exploration together? If we find some minerals in the field, we can definitely go there and mine them?"
According to the laws established by the Human Council, all mineral resources in the wild belong to all the people. If you have the ability to retrieve them, they are entirely yours, and you will not be asked for any money.
After Liu Ning finished speaking, Maria smiled and shook her head beside him. Liu Ning also knew that this plan was a bit excessive. Putting aside other issues, just considering the miners, they were relatively safe and secure in the city.
Even if you go hundreds of meters underground, it's considered safe and secure. There are only a handful of mining accidents each year. But if you go to the wilderness, not to mention an ordinary miner, even a soldier apprentice wouldn't be of much use. Are you going to hire soldiers to mine for you?
The monthly salary they receive is already an astronomical figure. If you really want to spend money, then this suggestion is perfectly acceptable. But if you want to live a simple life, then this is probably not a good idea. It's not that no one has tried it yet.
But almost everyone who tried failed, and they also incurred considerable debt. Doing anything in the wild is extremely difficult. Even if he gathered all the strength of humanity to build so many secret bases in the wild, they still had to be built underground.
