Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 169, Version Update 3.0 (4K)

The group first took stock of the giants' loot.

四头巨人合计掉落了152单位3级铁矿，106单位3级布料，421枚晶币。

The foreman giant dropped 52 units of level 3 iron ore in one go.

This elite-level, 100-meter-tall monster suddenly became endearing and lovable in Li Ye's eyes.

Although the harvest was plentiful, Li Ye was still somewhat disappointed.

This is mainly because the giants did not drop level 3 items, level 3 blueprints, or level 3 upgrade blueprints.

"Forget it, as long as we can master the methods to deal with giants, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

he thought.

"Let's start mining for now."

With a roar, the deck of the Tomorrow slowly sank, revealing a group of residents holding mining tools.

Upon reaching the ground, they first looked at the corpses of the Level 3 giants with lingering fear, then hurriedly headed towards the mine.

Half an hour later, Li Ye took stock of his gains.

784 units of level 3 iron ore, 323 units of level 3 saltpeter, 312 units of level 3 coal, 213 units of copper ore, 164 units of silver ore, and 52 units of gold ore.

"The output is really high!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Not only level 3 iron ore, but also rare copper, silver and gold ore have been produced in considerable quantities.

This is probably because high-level areas have high risks and high returns.

However, so many resources cannot be enjoyed by Tomorrow alone; they must be shared with everyone.

The Peacemaker acquired the batch of level 3 saltpeter, while the Iron Whale acquired level 3 coal. The remaining gold, silver, copper ore and level 3 iron ore all went to the Tomorrow.

Including the giants' drops, there were a total of 936 units of level 3 iron ore.

With excitement, Li Ye arrived at the production workshop.

During this period, he had a bunch of production projects that needed to be upgraded.

But soon, he began to worry.

Upgrading to level 3 city camouflage requires 200 units of level 3 iron ore.

Building the "Hurricane Tamer" energy windmill series requires 500 units of Tier 3 iron ore.

升阶城市模拟训练舱需要200单位3级铁矿，100单位3级布料，100单位铜矿。

As for upgrading the Black Hawk helicopter, the level 3 jetpack can only be considered later.

"This amount of iron ore is simply not enough," he sighed.

After some thought, he prioritized upgrading the city camouflage, creating the Hurricane Tamer Energy Windmill series, and upgrading the city simulation training cabin.

As mentioned earlier, with the "City Alliance Level Bonus" system, as long as Tomorrow reaches level 3 and unlocks the production and crafting of level 3 items, other level 2 mobile cities that are companions can also share in the benefits.

Upgrading a mobile city to level 3 is vastly different from upgrading a city in a city alliance to level 3.

After a brief exchange, Li Ye understood the needs of his three companions.

All three wanted the city camouflage, followed by the energy windmill sequence and the city simulation training cabin.

Fang Yong gave up on acquiring the energy windmill sequence, since the Iron Whale would frequently ram into enemies, and the Hurricane Tamer energy windmill sequence installed on the deck would easily fall apart and collapse.

The urban camouflage equipment and urban simulation training cabin were quickly upgraded.

As for the wind turbine series, it takes more than an hour to build. After being built in the production workshop, it needs to be assembled and installed using robotic arms, grippers, and cranes.

Originally, these urban engineering facilities were fixed on the deck, but as the Tomorrow was promoted to Class 3, a large number of decks were suddenly added.

Therefore, Rino specially built three small elevator platforms that could move around the city on the Tomorrow and installed them on it.

He first experienced Level 3 urban camouflage.

Using the scanning gun he obtained through the upgrade, he scanned the three mobile cities, including the Iron Whale, the giants, the city buildings, and the distant mountains in turn.

As Li Ye pressed the button, Tomorrow transformed in turn into the Iron Whale, the Miner Giant, a skyscraper, and even a mountain.

Finally, it blended into its surroundings and disappeared completely.

Next, Li Ye experienced the Level 3 city simulation training cabin.

Compared to Level 2, the Level 3 training pod is several times larger and can now accommodate 500 people for training at the same time.

The terrain, characters, and monsters it creates are all extremely realistic.

Most importantly, the Level 3 training pod has the function of amplifying and extending the trainees' perception of the flow of time during simulated training.

The time-to-flow-rate ratio is 1:24.

In other words, 24 hours of training inside the training pod is equivalent to only 1 hour outside. The same logic applies to a day, a week, a month, and so on.

Upon learning this, Li Ye became extremely excited.

In this way, the training of various talents needed for Tomorrow's external operations can be accelerated many times over!
What disappointed him was that he still couldn't feel the pain or the sluggishness of physical damage in the training environment, and there was no real tactile sensation.

The feeling of "training scenarios so realistic that they are completely indistinguishable" that Li Ye wanted is still impossible to achieve.

"Forget it, having the time flow function is already pretty good, what more could I ask for?" he consoled himself.

To his surprise, the neighborhood committee submitted an application to him to open the training cabin to ordinary residents.

In fact, the ordinary residents on the Tomorrow were also extremely interested in the simulation training cabin.

The simulation training pod offers a variety of exciting and stimulating battles.

For example, you could defend against zombie rain and dinosaurs on the deck, drive a vehicle to fight off an enemy convoy, or take a Black Hawk helicopter to fire.

Li Ye then thought about it carefully.

The Level 3 city simulation training cabin can accommodate 500 people at the same time, and there are still plenty of empty seats after deducting the daily training of personnel.

Opening the training cabin to the general public has the following two advantages.

First, by offering hourly paid experiences, residents can significantly reclaim their surplus contribution points. This not only enriches their daily lives but also increases the value of their contribution points.

Secondly, by cultivating the interest of ordinary residents in combat through various battle scenarios, it will be easier to recruit combat personnel. In fact, the Tomorrow has always had a shortage of combat personnel, and in the past, when there was a shortage, Li Ye had to personally go out and recruit them.

In the following period, the energy wind turbine series was completed.

It is located on the upper A1 floor.

The buildings in these Level 3 cities have a futuristic, technological appearance.

The main tower, base, multiple sets of rotating blades with diameters of thirty to forty meters, and a cloud-like crown-like top system.
As Li Ye looked around, his brows relaxed.

A single wind turbine array can provide 20% of a city's energy daily.

The key is that as long as there are enough Tier 3 iron ore, Tomorrow can build multiple energy windmills.

In this way, its daily energy consumption from the city will increase from 20% to 40%, then to 60%.
Even after deducting the energy consumption for daily operation, it still has a surplus of energy every day.

"It seems that supplying electricity to urban residents is indeed feasible," Li Ye remarked with a sigh.

The higher the level, the more advanced the technology tree of the mobile city will become.

Energy is clearly the last thing it needs to worry about.

Building multiple wind turbines is a simple and direct approach; more energy supplies will certainly be available in the future. Li Ye carefully considered the current energy consumption structure of the Tomorrow.

Aside from daily driving, the energy shield, urban camouflage, and urban radio all require energy consumption.

These powerful level items always consume a fixed amount of energy.

It's the same whether you're at a low level or upgrading to a higher level to gain more and stronger features.

Thinking about this, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

These things are indeed practical, but they consume far too much energy!

"Perhaps a world-class organization like the Apocalypse Church might have a solution." He scratched his head. "I'll ask them next time I have the chance."

In the following period, Li Ye was not in a hurry to take action.

In a few hours, a new round of intelligence will be released.

For the Tomorrow Alliance, which has just arrived in a new continent and region, this round of intelligence is crucial and will determine its future course of action.

A few hours later, under the expectant gaze of Li Ye, a new round of intelligence arrived as scheduled.

1. Your area contains several ancient human refuges. (Intelligence Value: Average)

2. The Terranes Ocean, the Gna Trench, reaching a depth of 15232 meters. Three mobile cities from world-class organizations learned some horrifying truths about the past by capturing living arks, after which all three mobile cities perished. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

3. The human forces breached the zombie civilization's capital ahead of the monsters. Bishop Hiss, the commander, obtained the Finger of the Skeleton Lord and handed it over to the Cult of Apocalypse. He has now been promoted to Archbishop. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

4. The monster-dominated world-class organization "Union Church" repaired all 132 suppression devices across the Wasteland overnight. This action extended the time it took for the Temple District to emerge from the ground by more than three months. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

5. With the demise of the zombie civilization, its remaining forces in the southern part of the Western Wasteland were gradually wiped out. The issue of ownership of the various southern regions of the Western Wasteland that were reclaimed was placed on the table by the world-class organizations of both humans and monsters. Multiple rounds of negotiations were held, but the results were far from ideal. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

[6. Refreshing. (Intelligence Value: Epic)]

[7. Refreshing. (Intelligence Value: Epic)]

"."

Li Ye rubbed his face vigorously and took a deep breath.

This time, the amount of intelligence information is overwhelming.

What first caught his eye was the ordinary-level intelligence report.

There are actually several old-era human refuges in this Level 3 area.

Startled, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.

The limitations of ordinary-level intelligence are too great! With so little information, how is he supposed to find more?

The fourth piece of information then caught his attention.

This time, the monsters' world-class organization, "The Unification Cult," has surfaced on the water.

A huge mystery arose in Li Ye's mind.

Why would a monster that is usually so crazy and disorderly actively repair the suppression device and suppress the temple area?
Finally, he hesitated over one thing.

He is the only one in the world who knows the purpose of the Lord of Bones' Finger.

Now that the Apocalypse Cult has obtained this finger, Li Ye is hesitant about whether to inform them so that he can gain more benefits.

To be fair, the Apocalypse Church, a world-class organization, was indeed a glorious and righteous figure in his eyes.

From actively forming a front to cover the evacuation of human compatriots in various regions, to building a large army to wipe out the zombie civilization, its actions are beyond reproach.

Ultimately, Li Ye temporarily shelved his idea.

This is a world-class organization. Even if it is 99% good-hearted, the remaining 1% bad could lead to huge negative consequences.

His encounters with the zombie civilization had already shown him the terrifying power of flesh and blood technology.

Overall, while this round of intelligence gathering was substantial, it did not reveal the situation in Nanliuzhou or this new region.

Li Ye had no choice but to find his own way to gather intelligence.

It's not that there are no clues at all.

Survivors can be found among the ruins of the coastal city before us.

But Li Ye is now facing an awkward problem.

After being upgraded to a Level 3 mobile city, Tomorrow can no longer enter the city ruins.

With its immense power, it could indeed smash through the ruins of cities along its path, but such a commotion would be too great and could easily attract a large number of giants.

The Iron Whale, the Peacemaker, and the Engineer can enter cities, but they are not assault-type cities like the Tomorrow, and their combat capabilities are limited.

Li Ye quickly came up with an idea.

He planned to take a ride on a pioneering gunship to wander around the city's ruins.

Ideally, we should be able to find out where the survivors' communities are.

He acted immediately and soon boarded the gunboat.

Before leaving, Lao Zhou and the others expressed their concerns.

“You are the lord of this city, don’t always think about being the first to lead the charge,” Old Zhou said.

"Speaking of which, are there any flying giants in the city?" Ning Wen asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry, gunships fly at high altitudes and are armed enough to protect themselves, so he's safe," Lin Wu reassured him. "Given the size and tonnage of giants, they can't fly either."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the gunship took off and flew towards the city ruins.

Li Ye noticed that the crew members were clearly getting a little nervous.

This was probably the first time that he, as the lord, had personally taken command aboard the gunship.

He could only wave his hand, signaling everyone not to be too nervous.

He then carefully observed the ruins of the city through the observation scope on the gunship.

This city used to be a popular seaside tourist destination, with numerous hotels, casinos, and various entertainment venues.

Now it's all in ruins.

Li Ye saw that the city ruins were filled with giants, some wandering and some resting.

The sight of the gunships whizzing by immediately caught their attention.

All the giants stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the gunship.

Some even reached out their hands like children.

Li Ye's mood suddenly turned sour.

The number of giants in the city ruins was far greater than he had imagined, nearly a thousand in total.

If they discover the Tomorrow Alliance and launch a large-scale attack, the Tomorrow Alliance will definitely be unable to stop them.

Just then, a certain direction suddenly caught his attention.

He was stunned when he saw what was happening there.

"Survivors...fighting against the giants?"
