"In the struggle for oil and water resources, our world has not yet reached the brink of destruction, but the people of many countries have already paid a heavy price."
Jing Youwei's tone was solemn.
Instructor Yin listened quietly while having someone take notes.
"According to our statistics, at least eight hundred nuclear bombs were dropped worldwide between the end of the oil riots and the end of the water riots."
Especially for certain small, resource-rich countries and regions, they are like leaves in a storm, completely unable to control their own destiny, and can only sway back and forth under the lash of nuclear weapons.
Jing Youwei shook his head, as if remembering something, and sighed, "The oil turmoil lasted for five years before it was finally mediated with the cooperation of us and other countries."
"However, after only two years of peace, the water supply unrest, which had lasted for seven years, began again..."
Instructor Yin remained silent.
According to Jing Youwei, the main reason for the water source disturbance was the geological changes that affected the major rivers and lakes.
Meanwhile, the large number of nuclear bombs that fell earlier also contaminated rivers and water sources to varying degrees, making many water sources unusable for a short period of time, even if they were still flowing.
Water is not only essential for human survival, but it is also a vital source of industrial resources. Without water, almost all industries would be affected, and water resources are also linked to energy.
Without sufficient water resources, even hydroelectric power stations cannot operate.
These two large-scale unrest, while not resulting in any nuclear missile exchanges, did lead to numerous proxy wars, and simultaneously, these proxy nations experienced a sudden technological boom...
To put it bluntly, a large number of nuclear bombs of unknown origin have appeared.
For example, there Black Poplar Missile, which looked very similar to the Topol, or the Soldier Missile, which looked very similar to the Minuteman. There was even West Wind Missile in the early stages of the oil war... m.
In short, the number of nuclear weapons in many places has suddenly increased or decreased, and in some places it has fluctuated.
During these two major upheavals, much of the world was in chaos, nuclear contamination was common in many places, and death, plague, famine, drought, sandstorms, and so on were everywhere.
The Earth has not recovered for nearly a decade.
Normally, the atmosphere between countries around the world remains tense.
Even though the major resource areas have been divided up... cough cough, and taken over by the United Nations, such as the Middle East, everyone is still wary of each other.
After listening to this passage, Instructor Yin fully understood the complexity of the Rampage Spacetime situation; it was the first time he had ever seen such a spacetime.
Eight hundred nuclear bombs...ノ②З
It seems this timeline is where the real professional mushroom growers are located.
Instructor Yin also specifically asked about the salvo launch of the Black Poplar Missile thirteen years ago.
Jing Youwei a moment and said:
"I heard that during the armistice negotiations, they bribed spies to secretly alter the distribution agreement. This was discovered by the North, and then one Wednesday, the Black Poplar Missile were launched without warning..."
"However, we don't know whether this is true or false. We didn't participate in the water source disturbance, and we only went through the motions in the ceasefire negotiations."
"Thank you very much for your information. It has been a great help in understanding the situation, and we will continue to contact you in the near future."
Jing Youwei asked how they should contact each other next time.
"We'll probably use this Spacetime Tunnel again next time. You just need to protect the site. However, you can disassemble the drone to verify the authenticity of the Spacetime Tunnel..."
Jing Youwei nodded, then tentatively extended his hand toward the Horn, "Then... shall we shake hands?"
Instructor Yin broke out in a cold sweat. The operator next to him quickly ran to the side of the tunnel and had the technician who was on standby to physically repair the Horn reach out his hand.
The technician, unaware of what was happening, did as instructed, and the instant he reached out, he felt himself being gripped by a pair of rough, large hands, which squeezed painfully.
Instructor Yin looked at the footage coming back from the camera, his hands already clasped together, before speaking into the microphone, saying things like "It's a pleasure working with you."
On the other side, Jing Youwei also confirmed that what he had grabbed was indeed a human hand, still alive, not a hologram or a prop.
As for whether it was Deputy Director Yin's doing, he didn't care.
The call has temporarily ended.
The hand also withdrew as if fleeing.
Jing Youwei in place.
After standing there for a while, he waved to call Bu Zhen.
"Continue disassembling this drone, take off every single part, cover the disassembly site, and then find several cameras to record the entire scene."
"Oh, and also, keep everyone on site under control. No one should leave without permission, and they must not have any contact with the outside world."
Bu Zhen complied.
Soon, the technical team re-entered the scene, and the cameras were ready.
The drone dismantling work proceeded rapidly. Within the erected tents and enclosures, parts were laid to the ground one by one, and the drone, which had just been reduced to a skeleton, was quickly reduced to a pile of parts.
Even the Horn that Instructor Yin had just used had been removed, leaving only the control board and the cables connecting the Spacetime Tunnel...
Jing Youwei and Bu Zhen were both present at the scene, and upon seeing this, they had to confirm that it was indeed a real drone.
Because there really was no one inside.
Bu Zhen took two steps forward, until he reached the Spacetime Tunnel, and looked at his superior with a questioning gaze, asking what to do with this thing.
After leaving the drone, the Spacetime Tunnel, which had not yet closed, changed its position relative to the drone to its position relative to Earth.
Simply put, the Spacetime Tunnel is still suspended in the air, as if a piece of the world has been ripped out.
Jing Youwei then took an iron rod and tried to extend it into the Spacetime Tunnel.
Without any hindrance, the iron rod passed through the Spacetime Tunnel with remarkable smoothness, but to Bu Zhen, it seemed as if a section of it had vanished into thin air.
Bu Zhen's eyebrows twitched wildly, but he still didn't say anything.
Jing Youwei looked at the iron rod thoughtfully, then began to pull it out and push it in, causing the iron rod to lengthen or shorten accordingly.
Finally, Jing Youwei simply moved the iron rod to the edge of the tunnel, and then he felt the weight in his hand suddenly lighten.
Because the iron rod was shorter, the cut was perfectly smooth, leaving no visible trace.
Jing Youwei and Bu Zhen both fell silent as they looked at the cross-section.
" Bu Zhen, bring over another new camera."
"Okay!" Bu Zhen hurriedly strode forward and quickly brought over a video camera.
The two strapped the camera to the remaining iron bar, and then Bu Zhen held the bar and slowly extended it towards the Spacetime Tunnel...
