Sue is still stuck at the Steel Gate.
The nearly 10,000-square-meter command building was so spacious that it would not be a problem to accommodate all of Su's soldiers.
Most of the rooms in the building were closed and abandoned.
Su and his followers occupied the top two floors, but they still felt empty.
After incorporating Ledesma's troops, Su's warriors exceeded a thousand for the first time.
These warriors needed to rule a vast area of 300,000 square kilometers, which was a drop in the bucket.
However, due to the continuous war, the number of residents in Steel Gate has dropped to 20,000, and Midnight City has less than 40,000 residents.
Most of the population fled into the wilderness to escape the fighting.
When the area becomes quiet in the future, the people who fled will come back.
After all, there is not enough food and water in the wilderness, and there is no basic order.
There are approximately one million people living in the area ruled by Su.
This is a very astonishing number, but the foundation was actually laid by the Ledesma era.
Quinn had told Su that he needed to expand his army as soon as possible in order to consolidate his rule in the Western Region of the Great Lakes, but Su's own wishes were not that strong.
Steel Gate's energy, smelting and military industries, Midnight City's food industry and water purification technology, and Crane's biological and genetic engineering, together constitute a complete industrial and economic system, and with a population of nearly one million, potential It is indeed very likely that its strength will explode within a year or two, greatly expanding the scope of its control.
If the water purification technology that Midnight City has been researching can achieve a breakthrough, and in the new era, the growth cycle of human beings has doubled and their fertility has doubled, the population may exceed 10 million in less than fifty years.
Even now, it is not difficult for Su to form an army of over 10,000 people.
At most, the equipment and capabilities are just a bit inferior.
Su stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
From his angle, he could see the majestic steel mill in the distance.
The steel plant is one of the representative products of human industrial civilization in the old era.
The steel plant at Steel Gate covers an area equivalent to half of the city.
This steel plant that once had six blast furnaces currently only operates a small electric furnace.
Even so, its capacity is only utilized at less than half.
Although he had memorized hundreds of economics books by relying on data processing that far surpassed that of humans in the old days, Su still only had a partial understanding of economics.
He knew that if the magnificent industrial empire he saw before him truly realized its potential, it could easily support tens of millions of people and 100,000 troops.
Su suddenly thought of Dragon City and what happened in the Dark Dragon Riders.
It was only when he began to administer a land himself that he truly understood the prosperity and power of the Blood Council.
Nearly a thousand dragonriders correspond to nearly a hundred thousand retinues, and to support such a large armed force, at least dozens of times the population is needed.
Putting it this way, there may be a population of nearly 10 million in the area governed by the Blood Parliament.
The strength of the Blood Parliament also lies in its technological power that far exceeds that of other regions.
They have even begun to experiment with regional environmental control and transformation technologies in Dragon City.
The radiation level of Dragon City across the river and the sea should originally be much higher than that of the inland areas, but under the influence of the defensive force field, the radiation in the urban area is much lower than that in the inland areas.
Before Su was forced to leave Dragon City, the Blood Parliament activated three new large-scale force field generators in Dragon City.
Under their protection, the radiation level in Dragon City has further dropped, not much higher than in the old days.
Even people from the old days can survive in this environment.
The Blood Parliament is also committed to improving human beings' own ability to resist radiation.
Dozens of models and various dosage forms of anti-radiation agents are the product of this effort.
At the same time, the standard formulas for various abilities can also be regarded as this, because with the improvement of abilities, most people's radiation resistance will increase, and the body's utilization and absorption of nutrients will also increase.
As far as Su knew, a long-acting anti-radiation agent without particularly strong side effects had been developed and could be exchanged in small batches for high-level dragon riders.
This agent can provide radiation protection to humans for up to half a year, allowing ordinary people to live in most known areas.
Even with Colonel Su's authority, he could know such information, which meant that the Congress was preparing to put this medicine into large-scale production.
In the new era, the biggest enemy of mankind is not mutant creatures, but ubiquitous radiation and harsh environment.
Of course, people with abilities are not subject to these restrictions, but from the day the ability appeared, people have been debating whether people with abilities can be considered human beings.
After nearly a hundred years of development, this controversy has tended to subside.
No matter from which angle you look at it, people with abilities have gradually separated themselves from ordinary humans and become a brand new race, rather than a class in the sense of the old era.

However, a long-unresolved doubt arose in Su's mind, that is, for some reason, the Blood Parliament does not seem to be particularly interested in external expansion.
Basically, the main force in external expansion is various low-level dragonriders, those truly terrifying characters.
For example, the Spider Queen stays in her nest for many years and doesn't move around much at all.
If Lanaxis had taken action, perhaps the Holy Crusaders would have been wiped out long ago.
On the small table beside Su was a refurbished electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle.
After escaping the crisis of genetic disintegration, Quinn has been able to produce its alloy bullets in small batches.
This electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle only stayed with Su for a short time, but it saved his life many times.
With its great power and superb speed, it has become a nightmare for ordinary ability users.
But at Su's current level, its limitations have begun to appear.
For example, its effect on Claudina is very limited, and if it were Pandora, this gun would be almost useless.
So, where will the future of mankind go?
Should we continue on the original path and develop a civilization of science and technology and machinery, or should we devote ourselves to biochemical technology and take capabilities as the core of development.
From the current perspective, capabilities have completely overwhelmed technology.
For example, Su single-handedly destroyed Ledesma's entire ruling foundation.
In the face of unchecked capabilities, the number of conventional weapons and ordinary soldiers is meaningless.
However, the development of science and technology takes time to accumulate.
At present, the level of human science and technology has just touched the application of electromagnetic kinetic energy.
But the advancement of capabilities will also promote the advancement of technology.
The most important point is that human brain power is no longer what it used to be.
Not to mention perverts like Helen, even Su himself, the data processing power of the brain is no worse than the minicomputers of the old era, and as the power increases, this This ability is still improving rapidly.
People in the old days needed twenty years to learn knowledge, but those with evolved intelligence only need two to three years.
Su's thoughts seemed to be immersed in the long river of history, drifting farther and farther with the current.
However, a sharp scream brought him back from his thoughts, and then he remembered that today was the day when Li gave birth, and the delivery room was right next door.
This scream should have come from a nurse helping to deliver the baby.
In a flash, Su opened the door to the delivery room and rushed in.
In the center of the delivery room was a midwifery bed.
Li was lying on her back, her pale face covered with sweat.
There was a puddle of water between her legs, not blood.
In the clear water, a small spindle-shaped creature less than 20 centimeters was rolling continuously.
Its skin showed a blue-black luster, and its soft and flexible body seemed to have no bones at all, just like a large meat insect.
No organs or limbs could be seen on its body.
Only a small mouth opened at one end, which was still spraying clean water.
Its body also shrank accordingly, and soon shrunk to about ten centimeters.
Before entering, Su's perception had completely enveloped every corner of the delivery room.
He knew that this little thing was Li and his child, and the water it spit out was pure water without any impurities.
Li's abdomen is completely flat, and all the nutrient fluid that was originally full should be absorbed by it and replaced with clear water.
Its body is not simply shrinking, but is re-adjusting its body structure.
Its body strength is increasing geometrically, its outer skin is also constantly thickening, and its defense capabilities are also rapidly improving.
The internal structure of its body gradually takes shape.
If it enters an environment with strong radiation, the radiation that penetrates the skin will interact with a layer of special tissue under the skin, thereby generating a large amount of heat energy.
This heat is the energy source on which it can survive. one.
It is being fully transformed into the direction of combat and survival in harsh environments.
This change is a bit strange.
A newborn baby should instinctively rely on its parents.
Even if the body is transformed, it should be transformed in the direction of high growth, rather than strengthening survival and combat capabilities right after birth.

This is very similar to those biological weapons that are purely designed for combat.
Such an idea suddenly appeared in the depths of Su's consciousness. biological weapons Su never remembered seeing any biological weapons before, and maybe Martham could be one of them.
However, Martham was still mainly developed based on human genes.
It has limited combat power and many flaws.
Its intelligence has also been affected, and its growth rate is almost zero.
At most, it is just a modified person, which is completely different from the biological weapons that emerged in Su's consciousness. different.
In Su's consciousness, those real biological weapons were a brand-new species that could quickly change itself as the environment changed.
They had high intelligence that was not inferior to intelligence, and were cruel, cold-blooded, and efficient.
Given enough food, they can fully grow within a few days and evolve various organs adapted to the task at hand.
They are born entirely for tasks and killing, but have their own consciousness and intelligence, but the instructions planted at a deeper level than genes make them completely unable to disobey their master's orders
