Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 153 A Single Strike That Destroys a Mountain! (4K)
A new day has begun.

While getting dressed and washing up as usual, Li Ye glanced at the system panel.

The system CD was already running two days ago.

[7 days, 17 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the next intelligence update]

[Number of intelligence reports: 7]

"A total of 10 days, the intelligence must be of very high value," he thought. "There must be legendary intelligence involved."

Tomorrow morning, Tomorrow will set off, jumping through wormholes in multiple regions back to the Valley area, and then reconfigure itself into water-based mode to reunite with its companions.

When Li Ye came onto the deck, he was immediately stunned.

The deck in front of me was densely packed with natural gas cylinders.

There was a note written by Zhou Xing on the frontmost natural gas tank.

"Thanks to everyone's hard work yesterday, a total of 31000 units of natural gas were produced. We were able to do so thanks to Gallas's help."

"There should be another batch of natural gas around 30000 tomorrow morning."

"Yang Zheng and Fang Yong were ecstatic after receiving the level 3 item you sent them."

"If funds are sufficient, please help purchase 10 Tier 2 upgrade blueprints. Five of them should be for vehicles, and five for city components. In addition, please purchase as many engineering books as possible."

Li Ye then contacted Bishop Hiss, sold the batch of natural gas, and received 279000 crystal coins as payment.

他首先花了3万8晶币，购置了周兴所需的10张升阶图纸，并花了20000晶币购置了12套工程类型书籍。

Considering that he now had sufficient funds, he decided to purchase another level 3 item.

Soon, a level 3 item caught his attention.

That was a Tier 3 upgrade blueprint displayed in the Apocalypse Cult's shop; the type was a city simulation training pod.

Its price is 160000 crystals.

"I have to buy this," Li Ye thought to himself.

As Tomorrow's development continues to accelerate, its demand for professional talent is also increasing.

After upgrading to a Tier 3 city, Tomorrow will be able to upgrade its simulation training pod to Tier 3. Furthermore, Li Ye can share the city's resources with his companions, helping them cultivate talent.

The same bishop who had greeted the departing bishop was still the same one.

“I have made a huge contribution to humanity in the Eternal Night District, could you give me a discount?” Li Ye said.

The bishop, however, remained expressionless.

"I can only give you a discount of 500 at most," he said, emphasizing each word.

After some haggling, Li Ye finally managed to get a discount of 3000 crystal coins.

As the final day arrived, another batch of 30000 units of natural gas was delivered to the deck of the Tomorrow.

Li Ye quickly sold the batch of natural gas to Bishop Heath and received 27 in payment.

He then went to the market and completed a large transaction with a shop belonging to the Apocalypse Church.

8000 units of level 2 iron ore, 3000 units of level 2 gunpowder.

Because Li Ye was considered a major client, the Apocalypse Church offered him a special discount.

Now, he has spent all the money he had.

These Tier 2 resources are not for promotion preparation, but for building a range of waterborne forces.

After all, the Seahawk anti-submarine aircraft, MK6 depth charges, destroyer combat resource replenishment, and Bullfrog anti-aircraft vehicles all require level 2 iron ore to craft.

The Engineer and the Peacekeeper also have a need for Tier 2 iron ore.

Gunships are also needed.

After a while, those 8000 units of level 2 iron ore weren't that many anymore.

After loading the iron ore and gunpowder, Li Ye immediately ordered the Asahi to set sail.

He had already planned the return route for the Tomorrow in the past two days.

Starting from the wormhole in the Red Ridge region, the journey proceeds through the Ice Plains, Gobi Desert, Eternal Night, and Wasteland before finally arriving at the Valley region.

"This can't go wrong," he thought.

The Tomorrow is now fully loaded with a large amount of purchased resources, about 700 newly recruited residents, and multiple Level 2 design blueprints.

It needs some time to digest this before it can improve its strength.

Fortunately, the journey went unexpectedly smoothly, and the Tomorrow returned to the Valley region without any major setbacks.

Li Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the Tomorrow to undergo waterborne conversion.

During those few hours, he was not idle. Instead, he dispatched the first and second convoys and six Black Hawk helicopters to search for resources in the valley area.

Meanwhile, he went to the production workshop and began to continue building.

100 MK6 depth charges.

Two SH-60 "Seahawk" anti-submarine aircraft.

Four KDB-2 bullfrog amphibious air defense vehicles.

20 Level 2 Black Shark Torpedoes.

Before long, 1620 units of level 2 iron ore had been spent.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye replenished the destroyer with combat resources.

他还顺带花费了500单位2级铁矿，打造出了2级逐浪船壳并加装了上去。原先的1级破浪者船壳则是被投入熔炉，重新熔炼成了1级铁矿。

Next, he spent some level 2 iron ore and gunpowder to replenish the gunship's combat resources.

Before long, several thousand units of level 2 iron ore had been spent.

Considering that both the Peacemaker and the Engineer required level 2 iron ore, the ship was not further developed.

In the following time, he went to the city simulation training cabin on the middle level.

At this moment, the training pod is full. A new batch of selected combat personnel is undergoing intensive training.

Lin Wu was also there, busy inputting a series of naval ship piloting textbooks into the training cabin and constructing a series of training scenarios.

He estimated that it would take a long time to finish due to the large number of books.

As Li Ye's deputy, he was already as busy as a spinning top.

This time, Li Ye will also give him a new task.

"Is the special forces training more than halfway complete?" he asked. "As for the compensation, I've decided on the T4-2 standard. By the way, how many people did you select for the special forces?"

"25 people."

As he answered, a rare look of excitement appeared in Lin Wu's eyes.

"So, what are the weapon and vehicle configurations for special forces?"

After some discussion, the specific configuration of the special forces was finalized.

The vehicle is either a Black Hawk helicopter or a Bullfrog vehicle.

The standard configuration includes a level 3 jetpack, level 3 melee weapon, level 3 firearm, level 3 body armor, level 3 grenades, plus a series of level 3 tactical equipment.

The reason for going for a full Tier 3 configuration is because Li Ye and Lin Wu felt...
Since they're special forces, their equipment must be top-notch. If it's just level 2 equipment, it feels really inadequate, and there's no point in even bothering with it.

"Then it's settled." Li Ye nodded.

Over the next few hours, the first and second convoys and Black Hawk helicopters returned one after another, bringing back mined iron ore, saltpeter, coal, timber, and even rare mineral veins.

As he expected, some new wild resources have been found in the valley area in recent days.

Iron ore, mines, forest farms, rare mineral veins.
Li Ye took stock of all the level 1 resources.

2431 units of iron ore, 811 units of coal, 713 units of saltpeter, 1212 units of timber, 232 units of copper ore, 142 units of silver ore, and 32 units of gold ore.

232 units of Radiant Ore, 192 units of Lava Ore. "This is surprisingly good!" He couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

These level 1 resources, when added together, amount to a considerable sum.

This valley is like a small treasure trove, where resources can be harvested regularly, which feels really great.

After completing the modifications for water travel, Tomorrow gradually retrieved the first and second convoys and the Black Hawk helicopter, and then headed towards the sea area where its companions were located.

"You're back?" Zhou Xing asked in surprise.

"Mm." Li Ye nodded.

After they reunited, he took Zhou Xing and the other two to the deck of the Tomorrow.

Through a brief exchange, he learned the specifics.

It is estimated that some natural gas can also be extracted from this area.

The Apocalypse Church's level 2 aerial city is still in this area, and it will set off for the Red Ridge region after receiving the last batch of natural gas.

After some consideration, Li Ye decided to leave a batch of natural gas for his own use as urban energy.

Yang Zheng and Zhou Xing each took 2000 units of level 2 iron ore.

Zhou Xingwei's goal is to upgrade and develop a series of engineering vehicles and urban accessories for the Engineer series.

Yang Zhengwei's goal is to create a series of level 2 shells.

He also specifically told Li Ye that refilling the electromagnetic railgun with shells would require 100 units of level 2 iron ore.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye was immediately dumbfounded.

This means that a single railgun shot is equivalent to destroying several thousand crystals, much like a gold coin launcher.

In the past few days, Yang Zheng has urgently dispatched combat personnel to train those who can operate railguns.

After some thought, he decided to test-fire a railgun to get a feel for it.

Just as the four were talking, a roar came from afar.

Looking out into the distance, they found it was indeed Galus.

Zhou Xing told him that during his absence, the imperial monster had been guarding the vicinity of the sea and even took the initiative to help them mine natural gas fields.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but become curious.

How does it work?

He soon learned the details from the three people.

Gallas first dived into the vicinity of the waters containing the natural gas field, quickly excavated the rock strata, and then used a bio-field to control the overflowing natural gas, causing it to flow in large quantities into the pipelines of the drilling platform.

Moreover, this imperial monster could even sense the presence of natural gas fields.

As Li Ye listened, he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

If the Alliance of Tomorrow could possess an Emperor-level monster, it would be a tremendous asset in combat, territorial control, and resource extraction!
Lost in thought, he gently shook his head again.

The Monarch Monster is a very proud creature and has no concept of obedience whatsoever.

At this moment, Geras was gazing at the deck of the Tomorrow.

Li Ye nodded slightly to him.

He understood that the other person was looking at him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

In the following period, the Peacemaker began its first test firing of an electromagnetic railgun.

During this time, Li Ye made a special trip to the deck of the Peacemaker to take a look at the shell body made of 100 units of level 2 iron ore.

The shape of the projectile is completely different from that of traditional artillery shells. It resembles a spike or spear with a sharp cone-shaped head.

This time, the electromagnetic railgun's target was a snow-capped peak in a high-altitude region dozens of nautical miles away.

After completing the parameter calculations and aiming, Yang Zheng nodded and then waved his hand.

"Fire!"

The blue-white arcs of electricity wrapped around the railgun suddenly contracted, like lightning being drained of its vacuum, and then a blinding white light was emitted from the end of the railgun!

The sound of the projectile breaking the sound barrier and the buzzing of the projectile immediately filled the air, and a clear cone-shaped trajectory appeared in mid-air, with even faint traces of heat remaining.

As the projectile struck the snow-capped peak, its ridge split vertically as if cleaved by an invisible giant blade, sending flying rock fragments raining down like a storm, the shockwave engulfing most of the peak. After penetrating the mountain, the projectile continued its journey, creating a geyser of earth and rock on a second snow-capped peak.

"Such power!" Fang Yong exclaimed. "If an ordinary level 2 mobile city were hit by this, it would be certain death!"

Yang Zheng shook his head slightly.

"Mobile cities are constantly moving on the battlefield, maneuvering to evade attacks, and they also launch smoke shells to obscure vision, making them not so easy to hit."

"But if it's a fixed target, it's much easier to hit."

Just as the four were reflecting, a roar suddenly came from behind them.

Galus was seen with half of his body above the water, slowly gathering his strength.

As it spewed its breath, an extremely powerful shockwave spread out and struck a snow-capped peak directly.

The snow-capped peak was cut away by more than half of its top, and countless cracks appeared on the entire mountain.

A look of astonishment immediately appeared in the eyes of the four people.

“I never imagined that the Monarch Monster could utilize bio-fields to this extent,” Zhou Xing murmured. “It probably gathers power by condensing bio-fields and then unleashes a shockwave similar to an air cannonball.”

Judging from Galus's panting appearance, launching such a shockwave was not an easy task.

It even gives the impression that this imperial monster is trying to outdo humanity's railgun.

"Leader, when shall we set sail?" Fang Yong asked.

“Once the natural gas field is fully exploited, we can set off,” Li Ye replied.

Just then, the Apocalypse Church's mobile aerial city, not far away, sounded its horn to signal them and dispatched an airship.

The airship landed on the deck, and a bishop slowly walked over.

"I never expected you to be able to return to the Valley from the Redridge Region in such a short time!" A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "It's as if you had divine assistance!"

Then, the four lords were taken by airship to the cathedral of the floating city.

The bishop then led them to the communications room.

"Bishop Heath has something to discuss with you."

A few minutes later, Bishop Heath appeared on the screen.

Upon seeing Li Ye, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he uttered the same sentiment as the bishop.

"So, Bishop Heath, what brings you here?" Zhou Xing asked.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, Bishop Heath slowly began to speak.

"Since your alliance is about to set sail tomorrow, and on the southwest route no less."

"Then, I would like to ask you to search for something."

Seeing Bishop Hiss's expression, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"So what is it, Bishop Heath?"

"An ark of the old era."

Bishop Heath said, word by word.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye and the others were all stunned.

The old days, the Ark.

What the hell is this?
