Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 100 Urban Neighborhood Committees

What surprised him even more was that the Black Hawk helicopter's external sling has a maximum load of about 4100 kilograms, which means it can carry and transport light vehicles or artillery.

Li Ye then used up the level 1 iron ore and saltpeter in the warehouse to refill the Black Hawk helicopter with bullets and missiles.

After being promoted to a Tier 2 city, Tomorrow's Starship no longer cares much about these resources; now is the perfect time to develop them.

Next, the last thing was placed before Li Ye.

That is, choosing between upgrading the Frost Cannon or the Lava Cannon.

Li Ye has currently acquired 482 units of level 2 frost ore.

Considering the high survival threat in the Eternal Night Zone, Li Ye decided to prioritize converting his combat power into tangible assets.

As he completed the upgrade and added frost ore, the two frost cannons on Tomorrow were upgraded to level 2.

Now, they are a whole size bigger than before, and their appearance has changed drastically.

The Level 2 Frost Cannon's metal body is entirely blue-white, covered with ice crystal patterns, and its muzzle is always surrounded by cold air.

After being upgraded to level 2, its bombing range increased by 50% and its freezing effect increased by 20%.

Gunner Ning Wen was absolutely smitten with them and wanted to spend all his time around them.

"Lord, shall we try launching it once?" he asked impatiently.

Although Li Ye himself really wanted to see the power of the Level 2 Frost Cannon with his own eyes, he ultimately held back.

There aren't many Frost Shells left, so it's best not to waste them.

In the following period, Li Ye summoned Lin Wu and the drivers he had trained.

These days, these drivers have been racking their brains to practice their driving skills.

Under Lin Wu's supervision, he nervously and cautiously boarded the Black Hawk helicopter and attempted to pilot it.

However, his driving performance was not ideal.

Li Ye wasn't particularly frustrated by this.

It's a stretch to think that a single book on air vehicle driving can train a pilot.

However, Tomorrow currently needs helicopters as combat capability.

"From now on, train him whenever you have free time," he told Lin Wu. "And also, find a way to train five more, no, ten more pilots!"

The reason is simple: Tomorrow will definitely have more than one Black Hawk helicopter in the future.

It may even have a helicopter combat group.

Imagine a line of Black Hawk helicopters sweeping over enemy positions, carpet-bombing them with machine guns and rockets.
"I can only do my best," Lin Wu sighed helplessly. "By the way, since we're training drivers, should we also train drivers for water vehicles?"

"Driver of a water vehicle?"

Li Ye was initially puzzled, but then he immediately realized what was going on.

The Tomorrow will definitely develop towards the ocean in the future. As it gradually collects resources, it will also have the strength to build ships for the sea, and perhaps even have its own naval fleet.

Since that's the case, it's better to make thorough preparations in advance.

"Alright, you can decide on the number of drivers yourself. You can pick any drivers from the Tomorrow Ship." He then waved his hand.

The city simulation training cabin on Tomorrow is currently a bit crude, but it is still reasonably practical.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye frowned and looked at the machine screen in the production workshop.

We've almost run out of level 2 iron ore, but we haven't built a single level 2 Rocky Off-Road Vehicle.

"We can only hope that the new round of intelligence will include resources such as mines and mineral fields," he sighed.

With the production workshop matter temporarily settled, Li Ye then turned back to Lin Wu to deal with the matter of the more than 300 new members.

Lin Wu had already explained the rules of the Tomorrow to them.

Everyone chose to become residents of the Tomorrow, accepting the arrangements and scheduling of the crew.

Li Ye wasn't worried that accepting so many people at once would cause any problems.

After all, the living conditions on the Tomorrow were what they were; everyone who came in was an ordinary resident, not a slave.

The contribution points they earn each day are enough to cover their food and drink for the day, and they can even save a little bit.

In fact, everyone entered the mobile city seeking a way to survive. Unless forced into a corner, no one would consider revolting. While saddened and helpless by the fall of the level 2 fortress, they felt a sense of relief. Firstly, they had escaped death by chance due to a job interview; secondly, the Tomorrow's equipment was decent, and the benefits were indeed good.

For the next few days, Li Ye was busy with one thing.

That is to accommodate the more than 300 new residents added to Tomorrow.

The Tomorrow Ship only had about 200 people to begin with, so suddenly having so many more people will inevitably make things a bit busy.

“It’s time to form a city committee,” Li Ye thought to himself.

When the population grows to a certain size, urban neighborhood committees become an institution that lords must establish.

Its responsibilities and functions include managing the daily operations of the mobile city, formulating rules and regulations, and managing public affairs.

After all, managing 500 people is not just about providing them with food and water every day.

Mobile city area planning, interpersonal relationships, living needs, material allocation, maintaining urban order, and public facility construction—all of these require an agency to manage.

Li Ye then appointed his deputy, Lin Wu, as the chairman and asked him to select 10 members from the Tomorrow Ship, giving them T4-level treatment.

Lin Wu nodded.

He's already incredibly busy, and the neighborhood committee can relieve most of his burden.

"How about we elect these 10 members through a vote?" he suggested.

"election?"

Li Ye was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

In order to fulfill their management and supervision obligations, neighborhood committee members often need to communicate with residents.

Elections allow us to select individuals who are trusted and respected by the people.

Therefore, Li Ye announced the plan for the city's neighborhood committees and began to publicly elect members for the committees.

This time, things really got out of hand on the Tomorrow.

The neighborhood committee members actually have T4 level benefits, which means they have good benefits, power and safety.

Almost everyone was scrambling to get selected.

The process of relocating to the field involves a public, named vote.

After a while of work, the 10 members of the neighborhood committee were selected.

To Li Ye's surprise, Lin Xia was among them.

She received 58 votes, some of which came from residents of Roland Fortress who had boarded the Tomorrow with her, and some from ordinary residents.

Having once been the daughter of a fortress lord, she possessed a remarkable appearance and temperament. She was cheerful and generous, yet lacked the spoiled manner typical of lords' children, naturally making her very popular.

"Congratulations." Li Ye shook hands with her.

Just then, someone patted his shoulder.

Li Ye turned around and saw that it was Lao Zhou.

"I never imagined you could drive so well."

He was deeply moved.

Old Zhou waved his hand.

"Words of thanks aren't enough. I want to use 60 units of fresh water to take a good bath in the bathtub."

Li Ye was somewhat surprised.

"With our relationship, why are you being so polite with me? Just go and say hello to the people in the warehouse."

“We’re currently under freshwater rationing, so these 60 units of freshwater can’t just be used casually, especially for bathing. Besides, Tomorrow is just starting out, so all rewards and punishments must be based on reason and evidence,” Old Zhou replied. “It’s precisely because we have a good relationship that I’m so considerate of you and try my best to avoid any appearance of impropriety.”

To ensure the authority and deterrent effect of the neighborhood committee, Li Ye appointed Lao Zhou as the vice president and dispatched three additional teams of combat personnel to maintain daily order.

The fact that the two people he trusted most were together put his mind at ease.

After finishing these tasks, Li Ye returned to his room.

Now, a new round of intelligence has been released.
