Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 45 Tesla City
"Mr. Mayor, we have researched, and the line center here seems to have been damaged. If there is a big enough stimulus to forcibly cut it off, it will stop running."

The scouting team explained, pointing to the various nodes extending above the high-voltage cables, showing a wry smile:
"But it's more likely that there will be an accident, and the voltage that will eventually leak will electrocute us all."

Li Jianghao nodded, and walked to the high-voltage cable with the holy sword in hand.

Of course, he wouldn't just slash down with his sword like a no-brainer, but carefully observed the situation in the city through the cable.

"Are you sure there are no survivors inside?"

"We sent out a lot of signals, but no one responded. When we looked up, we could only see corpses hanging from street lamps. This city is very technologically advanced, but there are not enough food resources. After all, people can't Live by eating electricity."

The reconnaissance team is also very helpless. As the city with the most complete technological development, Tesla City is located in the north and west of New London together with Winter House.

Tesla City can even use surplus coal for power generation, creating a perfect city defense.

If these two cities can develop normally, they can provide great help to the newly established camp in New London.

However, of these two cities, one was destroyed by inaction and the other by tyranny.

It's really embarrassing.

"If I directly destroy the node that transmits the voltage, at least part of the cable can be rendered useless."

Li Jianghao walked to the voltage regulator between the cables. If the test is carried out in the city, the voltage change can be easily controlled.

If you are on the outside, facing the outer shell wall made of steel, even if you bombard it directly with artillery fire, it may not shake it at all.

"There won't be too much risk in this way, but I'm afraid we can't destroy these nodes. If..."

Before the scouts could finish speaking, they heard a terrible roar.

The mayor beside him flew upside down, and his body hit the snow in the distance.

And the voltage node in front of him has been blown out of a hole, exposing the damaged cables inside.

The cables connected to the nearest node all stopped working.

"Bah!"

Li Jianghao spit out the snow from his mouth and stood up hastily.

Fortunately no one noticed that he was on his face.

The power of the holy sword is extremely powerful, and it can cut through things made of mortal metal with ease.

However, the huge current caused by the short circuit also knocked himself out, almost losing face.

"Okay, let's go in and move things quickly. The outpost team will set up an outpost on the spot, and the scout team can go back the same way and bring the collected resources back to New London."

Li Jianghao put away the holy sword and ordered to arrange work.

When people were busy, he also walked into the city himself.

According to the follow-up plot, the people of Tesla City and some survivors sat in a cave not far away.

The tyrant named Tesla also seemed to have died there.

Finding the survivors of the Tesla might also help in locating New Manchester.

Once you find New Manchester, you will find the Ark.

In addition to being able to break through the population limit of these two locations, the huge number of seeds that Ark can provide is the hope for the future.

According to the comparison between the system and the official plot, 30 years later is the timeline of the second-generation game, and it will be more than 60 years before the sun is completely darkened and the world is destroyed.

Although there may be new saviors coming by then, according to the official timeline, the world may not be saved.

Whether the seeds of the Ark can be preserved for 30 years is a question.

Every script in this game seems to convey hope, but if you think about each hope, you will find that strong sense of powerlessness.

This is also something that Li Jianghao hates. Playing games is to gain a sense of accomplishment, not to feel even more sad after playing the game.

After clearing the complicated thoughts in his mind, Li Jianghao walked in Tesla City.The power resources here are obtained through coal power generation. Coupled with the powerful power technology of Tesla City, this city should be stronger when there is enough food.

I just don’t know if this tyrant has lost his mind or something. It’s the end of the world, and he still wants to use harsh rule to oppress people.

Maybe he can leave some plans in advance until the blizzard is over and his mission is completed.

Let the people in the new home learn Tesla City's first-class electric power technology as much as possible, instead of just keeping coal for heating when the supply of coal resources is sufficient.

It's not like the second generation of the game has reached the oil age, and electric technology has not yet become popular.

In the 20s in my native world, not to mention the popularization of electricity, at least electricity technology has entered all aspects.

Powerful technological change is fundamental to future progress.

No matter how good a purely mechanically driven differential engine is, it can't compare to a computer composed of electronic circuit boards.

Just thinking about it, I walked all the way to the center of Tesla City.

The energy tower here is intact, but they have no way to move the tower to New London.

There are not many remaining resources near Tesla City. This place is originally positioned as a city of science and technology, and it cannot accommodate enough people.

If you really bring people here, they will starve to death in a few days.

Let people sort out the remaining paper documents in Tesla City by the way, and then Li Jianghao will take Brian to the place where the scouting team is located further ahead.

He had to meet the survivors of Tesla City in person, and it would be even better if he could come before the tyrant was executed.

But Brian obviously didn't think so, he thought he was going to be killed outside by Li Jianghao alone.

I can't help but despise this hypocrite.To show his benevolence and unwillingness to execute him in front of people, these sneaky things were done.

Bryan's complexion became even worse. Li Jianghao was a little puzzled when he looked at Bryan occasionally. Could it be that this kid really has something wrong with his head?
The two quickly left Tesla City one after the other, heading further west.

When Tesla City was left far behind by them, Brian stopped suddenly and said indifferently:
"Okay, Mr. Mayor, now that no one is watching us, you can kill me."

Li Jianghao felt baffled and asked:

"Is your brain broken? Why should I kill you?"

Brian sneered and said: "You want to leave a benevolent impression on people, and you hate me for betraying you, so you can only take me out alone to kill, and go back and tell people that it was just an accident. Isn't that what you think ?"

Li Jianghao was a little speechless after hearing these words, he was even amused, he said:
"Even if I kill you, what good is it for me? I'm not a tyrant, I just want you to see for yourself that the London gang you believe in is nothing but a lie. Rather than kill you, I would rather Seeing you weep bitterly, ask me for forgiveness in person."
