#849 - Bear paws are weak
A lightning spear, merely an accessory containing the basic lightning rune meditation method, was originally a cultivation technique Liang Yue gifted to someone with the right affinity. Unexpectedly, it ended up being regarded as an unstable element…
He hadn't anticipated this outcome.
It seems these people in the country have become accustomed to peace and lack the suppression and education of aliens.
However, since they've already said so, Liang Yue doesn't really care.
So, with a wave of his sleeve, hundreds of kilometers away, deep within the pit in the Northwest Desert, the lightning spear diagonally embedded in the vitrified rock instantly sensed something.
In an instant, the lightning spear, about three meters long, began to glow all over, its blazing white color dazzling. A surge of restless heat suddenly and rapidly rose.
Like a force twelve gale, it constantly swept the airflow, scouring the sidewalls of the crater towards the sky!
Immediately afterward, a powerful force of lightning abruptly erupted!
Zzzt~
In an instant, the entire crater spanning tens of kilometers was directly filled with intense, violently surging electric currents.
Explosive, irregular energy flows directly struck the surrounding earth and rocks, causing them to collapse and disintegrate, plowing countless scorched ravines into the originally smooth vitrified pit walls.
Myriad ravines, chaotic and irregular, yet carrying an unusual violent beauty!
The originally cooled scorched rock walls were once again beaten into a magma color.
Large swaths of white gas rapidly rose in the lightning storm, carried by the surging airflow into the high sky, leaving a heavy fishy smell in the surrounding air.
Truly, its aura soared to the heavens, shaking the earth!
For a full five or six minutes, the power of lightning in the crater gradually dissipated.
Looking at the crater now, it had actually been directly eroded and expanded by the lightning force released from the lightning spear's disintegration.
At the same time, below the crater, in the middle and other sidewall positions, hollow gaps were opened, and streams of water continuously涌 from underground.
This underground water was powerful and had an astonishing reserve. In just a few hours, it spread upward from the bottom of the crater for hundreds of meters.
Like surging fountains, it continuously carried massive water resources, filling the pit.
However, the volume of this crater was indeed not small. It took a full half a month for the surging underground water to cover just over half of the large pit.
The massive underground water was still steadily spreading upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at it from Xiao Wu's panoramic sandbox, a brand-new lake had appeared in the vast desert of the Great Basin.
This lake was roughly circular, with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers at its outermost edge, and its water output was astonishing.
It is conceivable that when the lake completely stabilizes and these massive water resources are developed and utilized, the entire Northwest will erupt with what kind of vitality.
The most conservative estimate is that even if it only develops agriculture, it will be enough to recreate a Jiangnan in China!
……
Two months have passed~
Well, it's been two months since the return from Xandar~
According to the rules previously set by Liang Yue, a new round of travel quota selection has begun.
Compared to the previous time, this round's quota has increased from thirty to forty-five.
Everyone who donates more than $10,000 in charitable funds to Tina and Milava's foundations is eligible to enter the quota selection range.
However, in order to prevent certain unethical situations from occurring, such as human wave tactics, the number of people with selection qualifications in each country has been fixed at one hundred~
Of course, even with such restrictions, it is still impossible to avoid the drawbacks of human manipulation.
The Chinese side, as with the previous travel standard, was directly arranged for ten~
Regarding this lottery result, which obviously has a suspicion of cheating, the other countries that have invested a lot of attention in this trip basically have no objection and have chosen to default to this result.
Then, Da Mao is still about the same as last time, Milava arranged five places, and similarly, Er Mao was given five places by Tina.
In fact, before the last trip, Tina also gave, like Milava, four places to her motherland.
But what is different is that the Da Mao bear firmly grasped the qualification quota in its own hands, and finally successfully established a small scientific research base on Xandar.
And Er Mao, probably also wanted to keep it for their own use, but because the strength in the bear's paw was not enough, they couldn't hold it, and in the end, none of the four places were kept, and they were all sold…
But thinking about it, it's also very normal. After all, Er Mao's situation is relatively special. Over the years, they have abolished their martial arts themselves. More than half of the high-level officials and powerful military generals within the country are American citizens…
This time, among the five places that Tina left for them, it would actually be very difficult for Er Mao to keep even one in the end~
In addition to China, Mao, and Er Mao, these three relationship countries, directly taking away twenty places, the United States drew two, and the United Kingdom drew one.
But because during the process, the two sides didn't care about human affairs, and somehow secretly contacted Elizabeth and Betty, and greeted Liang Yue.
Therefore, the United States and the United Kingdom were given an additional three places by him.
In addition, before this, when Liang Yue purchased macaws from Samba, he also took out a place as a purchase fee.
Of course, these seven places sent out are not included in the official forty-five prescribed lottery range, and are additional items outside the plan.
In addition to this, the remaining twenty-two places are the shares that the other countries on Earth need to draw by luck.
However, within these places, it is not absolutely fair~
Because Liang Yue also has some personal preferences, this is the unspoken rule under the framework of the rules…
For example, the two East Asian countries of the island country and South Korea, as well as the Jews, will basically not be selected.
Of course, the current selection results are not necessarily the final attribution results of the quota.
In the remaining month, there will definitely be many lucky relevant people who hold the quota, who will be lobbied, tempted, and traded by various reasons and forces, so as to trade the quota to others.
For example, Er Mao…
After all, in terms of rules, Liang Yue stated at the beginning that the quota can be freely traded.
As long as it is fair and gives enough compensation, he will not say much.
After the previous first round of travel to Xandar, for the countries of the world on Earth, each such travel quota is undoubtedly extremely precious.
If possible, anyone who has obtained a quota and their country behind them would not want to give up or transfer the quota.
Because it is obvious that the possession of this quota, and even the amount, is related to the rise of their country and the future of the nation.
However, it is precisely because this quota is too important, and the hidden benefits are根本无法用地球上的货币来衡量. Everyone thinks so.
But unfortunately, the strength of individuals and countries in this world is not balanced. Those with slightly weaker strength basically find it difficult to keep the quota in their hands until the end.
A month is enough for the list of ownership of this quota to undergo a huge shift.
No matter which world you are in, if you want to achieve the ideal share, in the final analysis, you still have to look at strength.
