Chapter 98 Crystal Stone

The 098 crystal stone was an extremely valuable resource, not only for Li Tianran at this moment, but also for the upper echelons of major countries around the world who yearned to become Evolvers. Its current value was definitely many times higher than before the world changed. These crystals mixed in with the iron ore might be even more valuable than these iron ore mountains!

"I don't know how much 098 crystal stone is reserved here, but judging from this stone wall alone, it should be no less than a hundred kilograms..." Professor Nan swept his gaze across the stone wall. "We need to keep some for our own use."

In the biological laboratory, the series of Evolver gene experiments that Professor Nan was currently conducting required neutralizers, and the 098 crystal stone was one of the essential resources.

"If we can find a buyer, we can sell the remaining resources as a package. Hundreds of kilograms of 098 crystals are worth a fortune," Professor Nan said excitedly.

Li Tianran's brain was spinning rapidly.

The most critical issue now was not whether a buyer could be found, but how to "safely and steadily" sell these crystal stones during the transaction process.

The world situation was currently in great chaos. Some forces and countries with sufficient capital to afford hundreds of kilograms of 098 crystal stones would definitely not react by completing the transaction peacefully when facing an unknown nobody like Li Tianran. Instead, they would be more willing to exchange the money for buying crystal stones for planes and cannons to invade Kuangxi Island, directly seizing it by force.

This was the instinctive attitude of the strong towards the weak in a chaotic situation.

The world had already fallen into great chaos, so who would care about morality and character with the weak?

Those who submit will survive, those who resist will die!

This was the unified attitude of several major powers in the world today!

"Although we have seized Kuangxi Island and have our own military power, we are still too weak for some major powers. If the news is exposed, we will be targeted," Li Tianran was not overwhelmed by excitement. Looking at the large number of crystals flashing with crystal light on the stone wall of Mine No. 3, he said, "These things may become our opportunity, or they may become our disaster."

"I need to carefully consider how to handle this... Before I issue an order, no one can leak the news of these crystals."

The current network and communication base stations on Kuangxi Island were independently established after the farm was upgraded to LV3. Li Tianran believed that no one could bypass him to transmit information to the outside world.

…

After returning from the mining area, Li Tianran began to search for news about the recent world situation on the Internet.

"Kristan announced yesterday that it has joined the European Union and become a member of the European Union Confederation!"

"Hasatani announced its accession to the Yanhuang Federation. The former Hasatani Army General Sifu handed over command of his troops to Shi Ming, the Major General Commander of the Yanhuang Western Xinjiang Military Region..."

A large number of international news popped up, and Li Tianran read them one by one. Soon, he had a detailed understanding of the current world situation.

The major powers in the world now all had no less than ten affiliated countries. Under the leadership of the major powers, the armies of these affiliated countries, after launching a counterattack against the Beast Kings who had occupied human cities, began to patrol the sea, partly to continue hunting down the Beast Kings, and partly to seize resources.

The territories of small countries that had been destroyed by beast tides and wars were now unclaimed land. Whoever could seize them first could occupy the resources on them.

Li Tianran touched his chin. Because of its relatively remote location, the Cape Kingdom where Kuangxi Island was located had not yet been targeted by the armies of affiliated countries. Less than 100 kilometers away from Kuangxi Island was a territory called the "Kuangsha Islands," but the Kuangsha Islands were an undeveloped wasteland and also belonged to the Cape Kingdom.

According to the records in Song Zhibin's brain information, the Kuangsha Islands had rich underwater oil reserves.

Li Tianran had large oil drilling rigs from the Umbrella Corporation, but they were useless on Kuangxi Island. Li Tianran was planning to develop the Kuangsha Islands after the situation on Kuangxi Island stabilized.

After all, there was less than a month before the next Destruction Era arrived. Li Tianran had to seize all the time to seize resources. When the third Destruction Era came, all minerals would disappear, and all the equipment in Li Tianran's hands would become scrap iron.

Before that, Li Tianran had to let these devices create enough value!

Li Tianran clicked the refresh function on the page, and an extremely conspicuous piece of news jumped to the top of the page, and its popularity soared rapidly.

After seeing the title of the news clearly, Li Tianran suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Yanhuang Naval Laboratory Releases Statement: A potion that can purify radiation toxins has been developed, which can kill 99.98% of the toxins in radiated water sources!"

This news detailed the efficacy of the purification potion, which could allow radiated water sources to become drinkable and irrigable again. However, the purification properties could not completely kill the toxins. After experiments, after creatures took the purified water, seven out of a hundred white mice died on the spot, two mutated, and the remaining ninety-one all survived except for symptoms of diarrhea and brief fever.

Afterwards, when human experiments were conducted, the experimental results were not much different from the white mouse experiments. After drinking the purified water, the human survival rate was more than 90 percent.

This was the thirty-seventh day after the arrival of the Second Destruction Era. The large amount of fresh drinking water stored worldwide was nearly exhausted, and a large number of creatures were experiencing emergencies and death due to lack of drinking water.

Fresh water had become the most precious resource.

Under such circumstances, the whole world was researching and analyzing radiation toxins. After thirty-seven days of sleepless nights, Yanhuang's research results were finally released.

Although this purification potion could not completely kill the toxins, and there were still toxins in the radiated water source, compared to the previous almost 100% mortality rate, a mortality rate of less than 10% was much better.

The appearance of this successful research allowed humans, who had originally despaired of the future, to see a glimmer of dawn in the darkness once again.
