How to solve the problem of oil scarcity?

Su Yang crossed his arms in thought, ideas churning in his mind.

The Heart of the Hive might not necessarily contain oil resources, and even if it did, the reserves would definitely not be abundant.

It is unlikely to achieve self-sufficiency like with coal or iron ore.

In the future, the only way to obtain oil is to trade with other lords.

But currently, the only one with whom he can conduct stable trade is England.

England has not even extracted oil yet, and even if they did, their production capacity would only be enough to satisfy their own needs.

Except for Afghanistan and those few countries in the Middle East, the oil production of other countries can at most satisfy their own needs.

And everyone knows that the Middle East Alliance is firmly held in the hands of the United States; to put it bluntly, they are the oil depot for the United States.

Wanting to get oil resources from them would certainly come at a great cost.

Moreover, unlike with England, getting oil from this group of people is equivalent to exposing one's own weakness.

In the future, they could interfere with his actions by controlling oil prices.

"I really want to defeat this group of people!"

The rules of the Forbidden Ground have no restrictions on battles between lords.

When you defeat a country and seize its territory, you can obtain all its production facilities and resources.

Su Yang now understands the thoughts of a certain little mustache.

When resources and the economy are controlled by others at every turn, there is really no other way but to go to war.

With his current strength, without considering the support of the United States, sweeping through these countries would be almost effortless.

But the problem is he doesn't know where they are, and even if he did, his army couldn't be transported there.

Based on the distribution rules of the Forbidden Ground, the distance between adjacent territories is at least a hundred kilometers.

Currently, he hasn't even discovered the territory of his neighbor, Spain, let alone any other countries.

"Will the Level 4 Main Base unlock transportation tools?"

The sudden question interrupted Su Yang's train of thought.

As the scope of exploration grows larger, the importance of transportation tools is also increasing.

Right now, let alone attacking other countries, even going back and forth to clear the Heart of the Hive takes a whole day.

If transportation tools are not unlocked soon, distance will have a significant impact on territorial development.

Thinking of this, Su Yang stopped thinking about how to obtain oil.

This is not a problem that can be solved just by standing here and thinking.

The most important task right now is to finish reviewing the various upgrades of the Level 4 Main Base.

Finally, summarize the problems that have arisen, the resources needed, and decide on the next development direction.

The two highest-priority technologies have already been researched; next is the upgrading and construction of buildings.

The Level 4 Main Base provides two new mining machines, just like before; Su Yang decided to build them according to demand later.

In addition to production facilities, the next Level 4 new building made Su Yang's eyes light up again.

Vehicle Factory!

The name clearly indicates a factory for unlocking armored vehicles, tanks, and the like.

Su Yang excitedly clicked on the factory panel, and suddenly, a System prompt sounded in his mind.

[Detected Vehicle Factory building, Great Qin Heavy Industry trait triggered]

[Vehicle Factory] >>> [Gongshu Heavy Weaponry Camp]

[All produced equipment will undergo mechanical modifications, possessing more powerful performance and more comprehensive functions]

"It actually triggered a trait upgrade!" Su Yang's eyes flickered.

Mohist mechanisms, wood and stone walking; bronze opening, ask Gongshu.

Gongshu Ban is also called Lu Ban, and like Mozi, he was a Grandmaster of mechanical arts during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Unlike Mozi, who advocated universal love and non-aggression and was skilled in defense, Lu Ban was most skilled in offense and had manufactured many famous siege weapons.

Since it dares to use the name Gongshu, the creations in this Heavy Equipment Battalion can be imagined!

Su Yang suppressed the anticipation in his heart and clicked on the Heavy Equipment Battalion panel.

[Production Building: Gongshu Heavy Weaponry Camp]

[Introduction: Unlocks the construction of a series of transportation and combat machinery, a large-scale factory]

[Construction cost: 100 units of steel, 50 units of copper ore]

The moment he saw the function introduction, Su Yang felt at ease.

"As long as the Heavy Equipment Battalion is built, the problem of transportation will be solved!"

The Great Qin technology tree will never disappoint your expectations!

Building the Heavy Equipment Battalion requires 100 units of steel and 50 units of copper ore.

To get steel, he must smelt it himself.

Su Yang immediately scrolled the building panel to the last two categories.

These are two new buildings for steel casting and oil industry unlocking.

Steel Mill and Oil Refinery.

These two factories are for further processing iron ore and oil, respectively.

The construction requirements for both are the same, both requiring 100 units of iron and 50 units of copper ore.

Fortunately, the current resource reserves in the territory are abundant.

During the Nations Hegemony Tournament, all consumed resources were provided by the System.

There was no consumption, so all resources in the territory have accumulated rapidly over these two days.

Su Yang did not hesitate; he immediately invested the resources and built the Steel Mill and Oil Refinery at the same time.

At the moment of construction, a prompt sounded in his mind.

Detected Steel Mill construction, Great Qin Heavy Industry trait triggered!

[Steel Mill] >>> [Great Qin Smelting Center]

[Unlocks a series of metal casting technologies, allowing metal materials to obtain more powerful effects]

Detected Oil Refinery construction, Great Qin Heavy Industry trait triggered!

[Oil Refinery] >>> [Great Qin Chemical Center]

[Unlocks the underlying principles of oil refining, capable of refining any type of oil]

"It triggered the trait again!!"

"Triggered the trait three times in a row!!"

"Which other country's trait can be triggered so frequently?"

Su Yang's eyes flickered, joy written on his face.

Sure enough, the more content there is in the technology, the more obvious the bonus effect of the Great Qin Heavy Industry trait is.

And this trait is almost omnipotent; as long as it is a building related to technology and construction, it will be upgraded.

This is simply too terrifying!

As the crunching sounds of parts interlocking stopped, two huge buildings rose from the ground.

Su Yang clicked on the panels of the two buildings to check their specific functions.

[Resource Building: Great Qin Smelting Center]

[Building Trait: A place for smelting various Advanced metals and forging metal castings]

[Currently smeltable metals: Refined Steel]

[Output: For every 2 units of iron ore consumed, 1 unit of Refined Steel can be smelted]

[Consumption: 1 unit of fuel resource is consumed for every 1 unit of Refined Steel produced]

[Production Capacity: 200 units of Refined Steel/day (maximum)]

[Resource Building: Great Qin Chemical Center]

[Building Trait: Refines various types of crude oil, manufactures oil fuel and various derivative products]

[Current crude oil in territory: None]

[Output: None]

[Consumption: None]

[Production Capacity: None]

"All kinds of crude oil!?"

"Could it be that oil is not a necessary resource?"

Su Yang's gaze was instantly caught by the introduction of the Chemical Center.
