Vol 40 Chapter 8: : Doom Fortress

Latest website: The overall height of the Doomsday Fortress is 53 meters, which is close to 20 stories high. The main control room is located on the uppermost floor of the fortress. The front side is nearly four-meter-long curved window, which makes the front unobstructed.
Looking down, the ground is like a green carpet. The nearby Oxbow Lake is refreshing. It is a good source of food. There should be a lot of fish in the lake.
Appreciating the natural beauty for a moment, Su Xiao's gaze turned to Li Siniwei, the leader of this fortress.
"How many family members can guarantee the normal operation of this fortress?"
Su Xiao picked up the tableware and enjoyed his own dinner while negotiating.
"At least 100 family members are needed, and this fortress will only follow my instructions."
Li Siniwei had calmed down, and he found that Su Xiao seemed to really want to negotiate with him.
"Is it feasible to replace the dependents with pig heads?"
"Impossible. Pigheads are not educated. They can only do simple and rude work, otherwise I won't have to hire workers to manipulate the active ore washing equipment."
Leigh Siniway picked up a document as he spoke, with salary statistics, proving that he did not lie.
"I don't care about the origin of the pig heads, but I want to know how your dependents guarantee the number of pig heads."
Su Xiao must ensure that the pig head has a huge base, otherwise he can only change the plan.
According to Li Siniwei’s narrative, Su Xiao knows the general situation. Both female and male pigheads have normal fertility. Their reproductive cycle is similar to that of a human or dependent family. It takes 9-10 months of pregnancy for the mother to give birth. Offspring.
This is long and unstable for the dependents. The "Life Factory" came into being. All pig heads were born in the "Life Factory". The magnetic pig heads are mostly responsible for textiles and other tasks, while the male pig heads are mining and fighting. , Or other coolies.
In the beginning, in order to be more secure, the family members planned to deprive most of the male pigheads of their fertility. After getting more than a dozen test subjects, they found that they were not working. These pigheads became weak after losing an egg. Listless, like a frosted eggplant.
This greatly affected the interests of the family members. For this reason, although the pig heads were oppressed, they kept their core dignity as males, even though they were all old men
males.
Lei Siniway didn't know the specific situation of the "Life Factory", he only knew that the output there was sufficient.
The family members worried that the pig heads would rise up, and they also thought about using biochips as insurance, but all of this was lost to their interests.
The benefits brought by the pig heads are too great. You can get a coolie who works 16-20 hours a day with only one purchase, and only needs to pay the worst food during the period.
Under the lure of this chain of interests, control the number of pig heads? Uncontrollable, and implanting a chip into the pig’s brain, the price of a biochip is about the price of 12-19 pigs.
Although the implantation of biochips is safe, it will increase the worth of a pig head by nearly 20 times. When this bill was introduced, the family members almost exploded.
For the entire profit chain of cultivating, selling, and buying pigheads, I have thought about hiring a few strong scavengers to get rid of those old men in the court.
After the final battle between the parties, the bill was revised. Pigheads used for guarding and gladiatorial fights must be implanted with biochips, while pigheads engaged in coolies do not need to implant biochips.
Regarding the total number of pig heads, the dependents have also imposed restrictions, but that thing is only for reference.
The true number of pigheads has already exceeded the maximum limit set by the trial thousands of times. This is the terrible consequences of the combination of interest and greed.
Knowing this information, Su Xiao knew that his plan was feasible, and the situation must be stabilized at the moment. Development is the most important thing. If it can develop, anyone can do it. If it fails, it will be driven out of the world.
Su Xiao put down the tableware and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "You just said that it takes more than a hundred family members to maintain the normal operation of this fortress?"
"Yes."
Leigh Siniway's answer is not calm, this is the attitude he should show.
"You just said that only you can control this fortress."
"Correct."
"In other words, if I want to control this fortress, I must save your life?"
"You understand this, I can't help it, but this is also a fact..."
"Hausman, take him out and kill him, take him away."
Su Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and the pighead Hausman, who was standing by the door, strode in. He was about 2.6 meters tall and weighed more than 240 kg. He was tall and strong. He lifted Li Sini. Wei, just like carrying this child.
Leigh Siniway's expression means that he hasn't reacted yet, and he talked well just now. Why did he suddenly turn his face? This is much faster than flipping a book.
"What I'm telling is the truth. If you don't believe me, why come to me for a peace talk? Only I can control the Doom Fortress. More than 100 family members are also necessary..."
Leigh Sineway tried to continue to explain, but unfortunately, Hausman was even less able to pay attention to Su Xiao's ignorance. Hausman's current idea was to go out and find a place to knock Leigh Sineway to death. .
When he was taken out of the general control room, Leigh Siniway seemed panicked, but in fact he was as stable as an old dog. He had a weight that could save his life. At least he thought so, but Hausman would He was tied to the steam pipe, holding a nearly one-meter-long water pipe clamp, and aimed at the knocking position on his head, Lei Siniwei panicked.
After a while, Leigh Siniway, who was still in shock, sat again in front of the large solid wooden table, his big back was wet with sweat, and his legs were shaking.
Facts have proved that some seemingly cruel perpetrators, when facing death themselves, his fierce skin will be torn off, revealing his inner heart trembling like a quail in the rain.
"I just made a joke with you just now, continue to say what you didn't finish before."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Lei Siniwei's trembling hand leaned into his arms and took out a pocket watch-like jewelry. After opening, it was not a dial, but dark red flesh and blood, and a ruby-like heart was beating.
"This is the core of the fortress and the key to controlling the fortress."
Hearing that, Su Xiao took over the core of the fortress. As soon as he started with this thing, he received a prompt from Samsara Paradise.
[Hint: The hunter has obtained the core key of the doomsday fortress. 】
[You will become the new commander of the doomsday fortress, the following is the fortress information. 】
Name: Doomsday Fortress (living).
Level: T5 level (the fortress is T0 to T5 level).
Total population: 683 people (643 pig heads and 40 family members).
Active energy reserve: 750 points (can be converted into 750 kg of active ore).
Premium food: 50 units.
Inferior food: 142.7 units.
Fresh water: 25 units (can be replenished in nearby water sources through filtering devices).
...
There are a large number of fortress parameters below, Su Xiao glanced at it and ignored it. He was not a professional in this area and couldn't understand it.
This fortress is evolvable ~EbookFREE.me~ can evolve from T5 to T4, but this requires a lot of active energy, which is active ore.
In addition to the active ore, you have to go to one of the three fortress cities of the dependents to purchase a [rapid transformation solution] that assists the fortress to transform.
A large amount of active ore + corresponding type of catastrophic solution can evolve a T5 fortress to a T4 fortress, thus having a stronger external defense force, a larger size, and a larger population.
This will bring about a virtuous circle. More population equals faster mining speed, equals more resources, and equals to a higher level of development.
Whether you want to increase the scale of your fortress, or if you want to buy more pigheads from the "League of Family", the most important thing is the active ore. As long as you continue to mine, you can develop.
However, when the pig heads are mining, although the main profit is active ore, there are occasional windfalls.
Su Xiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a mine owner. He didn't know whether mining was happy or not. He hadn't digged it personally, but the feeling that someone helped him mine was really refreshing.
