Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 189 The Film and Television Industry and the Mini Tomorrow (4K)
Regarding water sources, Aiken stated that the convoy typically obtains water from ponds and lakes found along the route, filtering it using the base vehicle's equipment. Each base vehicle has a water storage tank, so water is not scarce.

Not only that, the convoy was also equipped with level 3 artillery, level 3 heavy machine guns, and level 3 motorcycles.

枪械则有3级突击步枪、3级火箭筒、3级狙击枪和各类3级投掷武器，甚至还有3级地雷。

Therefore, the convoy can not only move and survive in the wild, but also attack wandering monsters, monster strongholds, and even monster towns.

"Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite good," Zhou Xing exclaimed.

Li Ye nodded repeatedly.

Owning your own base vehicle in the apocalypse, being self-sufficient, and possessing powerful firepower and self-defense capabilities, feels pretty good.

Furthermore, the fact that you're surviving alongside family and friends adds to the appeal of the base vehicle.

“I have a question, Mr. Aiken,” Zhou Xing began. “Are all Level 3 and above fleets primarily using base vehicles?”

Aiken nodded.

"Of course. You can't survive in the wasteland with a low-level off-road vehicle."

He also told everyone that high-level base vehicles can be deployed on the spot to form town-sized buildings and fortresses.

However, due to its considerable size, the base vehicle has a limited speed, so it is very important to be concealed in the wild.

In fact, it's not just mobile cities in the wasteland; the three major human organizations also support survivor caravans and bounty hunters.

The prerequisite is that you have a good reputation.

"Alright, now let's get down to business." He clapped his hands.

The leader of the survivor convoy simply reiterated his demands.

Iron ore, gunpowder, and fuel.

Li Ye immediately granted his request, since the Tomorrow Alliance still had plenty of resources.

Upon learning that Li Ye and his group actually owned two city steel mills, Aiken's eyes showed a hint of envy.

"It truly lives up to its name as a mobile city; its scale is much larger than a convoy of vehicles," he remarked.

Aiken appeared very pragmatic; he didn't take the resources for free, but instead provided a Level 3 city building design blueprint as payment.

Li Ye took the blueprints and examined them carefully.

【Item Name: City Film and Television Base】

[Level: Level 3]

[Additional benefits: 1. The city's film and television base can construct various film and television shooting scenes according to requirements (corresponding building materials are required). 2. Film and television editing special effects processing can be provided.]

[Crafting Requirements: 350 units of iron ore (Level 3)]

"This..." He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The city's architecture is clearly of the cultural and entertainment type, designed to enrich the spiritual lives of its residents.

Once a film and television base is built in a mobile city, movies can be filmed.

Following this line of thought, Li Ye began to ponder carefully.

If you want to film a movie on the Tomorrow, you need to meet the following conditions.

First, it has a decent directing team.

Secondly, film and television bases need to be staffed with corresponding personnel.

Third, stock up on enough building materials needed to construct scenes in the film and television base, such as stone and wood.

Fourth, the actors' costumes, makeup, and props were all fully equipped.

Fifth, all equipment for filming, such as cameras, as well as the production project for the cinema building must be prepared.

Of these five conditions, the fourth and fifth are the most troublesome. The production workshop for Tomorrow has very few items related to costumes, props, and sets, not to mention filming equipment and cinemas. However, the city's neighborhood committee can easily procure these items through several rounds of external purchases.

"So, should we make this movie or not?" he wondered.

With the official resources of Tomorrow, they can definitely make it happen.

If the movie theater can be successfully established, it will provide another channel for residents to recoup their contribution points, and it will also enrich their spiritual lives.

As for the quality of the movie, the people in the wasteland shouldn't be picky; as long as the plot is passable, it'll be fine.

"By the way, do you know about the giants' expansion in the old civilization area?" he asked Aiken.

The other person's face showed a look of utter disbelief.

Seeing this, Li Ye couldn't help but shrug.

This surviving convoy was clearly not well-informed.

He then briefly explained the current situation in Nanliuzhou and suggested that they seek refuge at the A9 defensive pass.

Aiken sincerely thanked him, and then led his convoy to the destination in a hurry.

In the following period, the Black Hawk helicopters dispatched by Liye to scout the basin area returned one after another, bringing back intelligence.

The main level 1 monsters roaming the basin area are boarmen, suggesting that the area was originally controlled by the boarman civilization.

Currently, the Wild Boar Man civilization has been completely extinct.

The basin area is littered with remnants of the monster civilization's vehicles and mobile cities.

"How many of those giants were killed?" Li Ye pressed.

He got the answer from the drivers.

There is not a single giant corpse in the basin area, and the number of giants killed by the boar-man civilization is probably zero.

"They can't even kill a giant? This local monster civilization is utterly useless!" Li Ye shook his head in disappointment.

But upon closer reflection, it's actually quite normal.

Giants are level 3 monsters, which is a devastating blow to a level 1 monster civilization.

According to the pilots' findings, the main force of giants has continued to advance, and there are only twenty or thirty giants roaming the basin area.

Upon learning this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Ye's eyes.

In this way, the Tomorrow Alliance might actually be able to successfully control this area.

More valuable than the resources that spawn in the area are the city ruins.

The Alliance of Tomorrow can obtain large amounts of metal from the city ruins, which can then be smelted into steel of various grades at the steel mill.

Li Ye quickly selected the location for the Tomorrow Alliance to defend.

Large urban ruins in the center of the basin area.

Due to its excessive size, the Tomorrow can only be moored on the outskirts of the city.

As for the other three level 2 mobile cities and the one level 1 mobile city that was just acquired, they can freely enter and exit.

Incidentally, Li Ye named his level 1 mobile city "Starship".

Tang Fang, the helmsman of the Tomorrow, was assigned to pilot the Starship and was assigned a crew of 20 combat personnel.

The Starship will exist purely as a combat city. Li Ye does not intend to input projects into its production workshop, nor will he construct buildings or farmland for the Starship.

The Starship's daily food, clothing, supplies, and combat resources will all be provided by the Tomorrow.

Currently, Liye is struggling with the urban components and weapon configuration for the Starship.

The most basic configuration should be level 3 city armor, power engine, artillery, heavy machine gun, or even machine gun.

If this can be achieved, the Starship will become incredibly powerful.

However, even with a Level 3 configuration, Level 1 mobile cities still have limitations.

Its limited space prevents it from accommodating Tier 3 flying vehicles and Tier 3 ground vehicles, thus making it unsuitable for deployment during combat.

On the battlefield, it is more like a super tank. To this end, Li Ye specially transferred two level 3 black iron cannons from the Peacemaker and used level 2 iron ore in the production workshop to build the Iron Dome City Armor for it.

As for the Tier 2 engine and tire tracks, the Tomorrow does not have them, but its companion, the Iron Whale, does.

"Gear Earl" supercharged engine, Iron Curtain heavy tracks, and Wildfire Hunter tires.

With each urban accessory installed, the Starship became fully equipped.

Li Ye originally planned to equip the Starship with four level 3 cannons, but after careful consideration, he gave up on the idea.

The main problem is that if the Starship is destroyed in battle, losing all four cannons would be a huge loss.

It's important to know that the Peacemaker only has 12 Tier 3 Black Iron Cannons. Although the crafting project has been unlocked through upgrade blueprints, Tier 3 Black Iron Ore and Black Iron Crystals have not yet been found.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye input the Tier 3 upgrade blueprint, specifying that the Crimson Ripper heavy machine gun be upgraded to Tier 3, and equipped the Starship with 2 of them.

In addition, the combat personnel stationed on the Starship were also equipped with level 3 assault rifles, level 3 grenade launchers, and level 3 sniper rifles.

As for the jetpack, he was reluctant to give it to them.

Finally, he equipped the Starship with Level 3 urban camouflage.

After completing the upgrade, the production workshop unlocked the creation of Level 3 City Camouflage.

从2级升阶到3级只需要200单位3级铁矿，而直接打造也就只需要400单位，可以说是物美价廉了。

The resources used to make these things are all Grade 3 steel recently produced by the steel mill.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.

"I need more steel."

The Tomorrow Alliance currently has a huge demand for iron ore and steel.

Level 3 firearms, Level 3 jetpack, Level 3 heavy machine gun.

You need to create and share a level 3 windmill sequence and a level 3 city camouflage for your companions.

Tier 2 iron ore and steel replenish combat resources for Tier 3 weapons and vehicles.

Overall, Tomorrow Alliance currently has no shortage of metals for forging steel.

Previously, they had obtained four to five hundred thousand units of scrap metal in the old civilized tourist area. Now, the basin area they are in has a large number of urban ruins, which can provide a continuous source of metal.

After regaining his senses, Li Ye looked at the Starship in front of him with a slightly satisfied expression.

Now, this mobile city's combat power is quite considerable.

It's almost like a mini version of Tomorrow.

Li Ye is actually a bit of a perfectionist and wants to achieve a full Tier 3 configuration for the Starship.

After all, level 2 city accessories just don't feel quite right.

In the future, he will train two helmsmen through the simulation training cabin, and assign them to the Star and Tomorrow respectively.

In the following period, the Tomorrow Alliance annihilated the scattered giants wandering in the city while sending personnel to collect metal in the city.

In order to produce more steel as quickly as possible, Li Ye arranged for the steel forging plant to operate on a 24-hour shift system.

He also dispatched Black Hawk helicopters and convoys one and two to begin searching for various resources in the basin area.

Inside the simulation training cabin of Tomorrow, various personnel are undergoing intensive training.

Regular combat personnel, tank crews, fighter pilots, steel mill workers, special forces, and future destroyer and submarine crews.
In addition, there was a sudden increase of more than 9000 people.

The Tomorrow needs a lot of rest and recuperation.

During this period, Li Ye simply stopped bothering with anything.

As long as the Alliance can occupy the basin area and slowly mine metal, he doesn't care even if it takes two or three weeks of idling.

His vision was shattered a few hours later.

"Reporting, Lord! We've discovered a monster-infested mobile city!"

While Li Ye was fast asleep in his room, a combatant rushed into the room and reported the news in a rapid voice.

Disturbed from her sweet dream, Li Ye quickly nodded, got dressed, and got out of bed.

While trying to shake off his sleepiness, he asked.

"What level is this mobile city? What type of monsters are there?"

"Judging from its size and the monsters in the city, this is a level 1 gnoll assault mobile city."

Li Ye's action of dressing suddenly stopped.

"A mobile city of gnolls?"

According to combat personnel, gnolls resemble hyenas, have a human-like physique, and walk upright on two legs.

Just as he was about to give the order, Li Ye suddenly realized something and turned to look at the other person.

"Have you taken a look at the weapons and urban components of this gnoll city?"

A dozen minutes later, Li Ye received the intelligence sent back by the sentries at the front.

That level 1 gnoll city has level 3 artillery, level 3 heavy machine guns, and level 3 city armor. The gnolls on the deck are also level 3 and equipped with level 3 firearms.

Li Ye's lips twitched involuntarily.

"These gnolls aren't a Level 1 civilization at all; they're definitely a Level 3 civilization!"

Only a level 3 civilization can afford to provide this kind of configuration for a level 1 city.

Li Ye quickly boarded the gunship and headed towards the area where the gnoll city was located.

High in the air, he could clearly see the monstrous moving city.

Combat leader, combat personnel, lookout, gunner, helmsman, mechanic
The Jackals were fully staffed and all wore uniforms.

The total number is approximately 100.

Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

This Tier 3 configured Tier 1 assault mobile city was sent by the Gnoll civilization to explore the Basin region.

I never expected that such a remote basin area would still be targeted.

"Bomb it down!" he ordered.

As the gunships swooped in menacingly, the gnoll mobile city began maneuvering to evade them.

It demonstrated unimaginable agility, directly causing the gunship bombing to miss its target.

"My God! What kind of speed is that?" the crew members exclaimed in amazement.

Li Ye's expression gradually changed.

The speed at which these gnolls move through the city must have exceeded 120 kilometers per hour, similar to the speed of the old roaming ships.

With the size of a level 1 city and the power of a level 3 engine, it's practically flying.

In addition, its level 3 urban armor protection enables it to withstand fire from gunships.

The most outrageous thing is that the jackal helmsmen are also exceptionally skilled, with very agile maneuvering and evasion abilities.

Li Ye picked up the walkie-talkie and called in the Iron Whale, the Peacemaker, and the newly armed Starship.

After much trouble, the group finally managed to destroy the gnoll city.

Looking at the city engulfed in flames before him, Li Ye gently shook his head.

This high-level configuration of a Tier 1 city is indeed troublesome.

On the deck, the surviving jackals, armed with guns, continued their desperate resistance from behind cover.
