The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 128

With the planting of energy coffee beans, the energy tower can finally resume full power operation. This also means that the power of the Shelter Villa base has increased several times.

After solving all the survival problems, Preston once again proposed to rebuild the militia. This time everyone expressed their support. Because now the base has sufficient food, clean water (after having enough energy, the water purification tower was quickly built), and sufficient weapons (several automatic machine gun towers were installed at the door, and later many weapons were installed on the robots). The only thing missing is people.

Knight came back to visit his family once in the past week. He used two two-headed oxen to carry a lot of things. After staying for one night, Knight left in a hurry with enough supplies and more rune stones. However, Nora told Ryan that Knight had already found out who had kidnapped their child. This time he came to replenish some things and then settle accounts with the murderer.

At the same time, Nora also told Ryan Knight to tell him that the rune stones were very useful, the only problem was that there were too few of them.

In addition, Knight agreed to help promote the base and recruit personnel outside.

However, relying solely on Knight's propaganda to recruit people would definitely be too slow, and Preston's plan to rebuild the militia just happened to fit the current situation.

According to Preston's information, the first stronghold that needed help was Shisongzhuang. Ryan took inventory and was about to set off. News came from the Wanjie Grocery Store that the mutant fire dragon grass he had raised before had finally matured.

Ryan opened the space door and wanted to take out the pot to see what the new plant looked like. As soon as the space door opened, a green shadow jumped out.

When the shadow stopped in front of him, Ryan discovered that there was a small snake about one meter long in front of him.

Fortunately, Ryan confirmed the identity of the little snake through the mental connection with it. This snake was the new plant cultivated from this mutated fire dragon grass.

Plant? Ryan waved his wand in surprise and began to check. After all, there was a snake in front of him, and he couldn't see the shadow of a plant at all. But the result of the inspection surprised him. This snake was a special magical plant.

It can become 1/3 the size of a basilisk, or shrink to the size of an earthworm. It can secrete a liquid that has both the toxicity of a basilisk and the ability to petrify. At the same time, this snake can split into dozens of clones, and as long as any one of them survives, it will not die. Even if it is injured, it can recover with just sunlight and water.

More importantly, since it is a magical plant, it has enough resistance to survive in this world with strong radiation.

"Okay, you are my pet now. Although I think it's a bit strange that a Gryffindor's pet is a snake. By the way, let me give you a name now." Ryan said, holding the snake in his hand.

After several names, the snake finally agreed on the name Xiaoqing. It seems that raising a pet with high intelligence may not be as simple as imagined.

Xiaoqing's arrival was great news, and Ryan was full of confidence in the completion of this mission.

After taking a bunch of robots to Shisong Village to accept the mission, Ryan successfully cleared out the looters in multiple dens. Under the strong firepower of the steam robots and Xiaoqing's sneak attack, the looters in both Lexington Town and Keweijia Assembly Plant seemed vulnerable. In the end, Ryan's robots returned to Sanctuary Villa smoothly with large and small trophies hanging on them. Naturally, Ryan was also given the title of militia general by Preston, although the entire militia organization may have less than ten people now.

In the days that followed, some scattered residents went to Sanctuary Hills to become settlers here. As the population increased, Sanctuary Hills also established its own industry: in the second week after Ryan came to this world, the second energy tower was built. At the same time, a steel mill that used waste from the wasteland as raw materials and a small machinery factory were also built.

Soon the first steam robot produced locally was put into use. At this time, the soil where the first piece of energy coffee beans was located had been completely purified of radiation. Ryan used these coffee trees as a barrier and successfully interplanted torch stumps and sunshine sunflowers in the field.

With sufficient energy, the base developed faster and faster. By the third week, with the help of a large number of robots, the militia had spread its influence to most of the settlements in the federation and cleared many dens that endangered civilians. Especially in the town of Quincy, when Clint was surrounded and shot to death by steam robots, Preston got drunk that night and kept reciting the names of his companions who died in the town of Quincy before he passed out.

In the end, with the help of a large number of robots and magic, Ryan and his men defeated the Queen of the Swamp Crabs with zero casualties and rebuilt their headquarters.

However, this also caused many conflicts with the Brotherhood of Steel, because the Brotherhood of Steel believed that the technology possessed by Ryan and others was very dangerous, and only they could preserve and use this technology.

Ryan has nothing to say to these people who are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It is true that nuclear technology turned this land into a wasteland. But it was the people at that time who really turned this land into a wasteland. Technology is just a tool for humans. It is obvious that the Brotherhood of Steel has reversed the cause and effect here.

Not to mention the racist tendencies and forced food collection of the Brotherhood of Steel. In order to protect the food of the kind mutants and residents of the settlements from being robbed, the militia organization had many conflicts with the Brotherhood of Steel.

As a true militia general, it is impossible for him to handle all the trivial matters, not to mention that Ryan cannot stay here forever, so the daily trivial matters are naturally handled by Nora and Preston, one civil and one military, who command their subordinates.

Ryan was only responsible for formulating the general direction and improving the plants, while using the magic of life and nature to purify the land of every settlement that joined the militia.

Apart from this, Ryan only did two specific tasks. One was to help Captain Zhao on the Yangtze River repair his submarine and gave him a large number of steam technology drawings and improved seeds.

Watching the Yangtze River submarine sailing farther and farther away, Ryan felt that this was the fulfillment of a dream he had when he was playing games in his previous life.

Another thing is that after going to Shelter 81 and using the portable potion to heal the injured child, Ryan found a good trading partner for the militia, and also found a BB Boy and a medical research robot Curie for himself, as well as a saved universal healing potion. Of course, this potion and all the data were sent to Dave, hoping that Dave could study something from it.

A month after arriving in the wasteland, Ryan, seeing that everything was on track, was ready to find the protagonist of this world, Knight, to see if he had anything to trade and then go home. At this time, Knight came to Sanctuary Villa and hoped that Ryan would do him a favor.
