Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 196 Security and Law in a Mobile City (4.6K)

"So, according to your logic, once Tomorrow reaches level 4, we'll be able to build a space station in space?" Yang Zheng said.

In fact, neither he nor Fang Yong really understood the concepts of rockets, space stations, and manned spacecraft.

After all these years, a technological and cultural disconnect has long since formed in the wasteland.

The vast majority of people simply cannot understand what space is.

"It's alright, you'll gradually understand in the future," Li Ye said slowly.

Then something else occurred to him, and he slapped his forehead.

If you want to work in space, you not only need a series of design drawings, but you also need to train astronauts. Ideally, you should be able to get a set of books on astronauts' professional technical knowledge and input them into the city simulation training cabin.

They even had to get their hands on the design blueprints for spacesuits.

"Thinking about it carefully, doing space operations is really troublesome," he couldn't help but sigh.

Following this line of thought, he suddenly had a new idea.

Mobile cities should be able to deploy space-based weapons, such as satellite beams and space-based weapons, in space.

As long as the mobile city provides precise coordinates, satellites can launch these weapons to strike the enemy.

"It must be said that the higher the level of the mobile city, the more powerful the weapons that can be used, and the higher the intensity of the war will be."

After the meeting, Li Ye returned to the Tomorrow and continued to work on internal affairs and urban construction.

Lin Wu then made a suggestion.

A police station-like institution needs to be established on the Tomorrow.

After all, the city already has more than 10,000 people, and its internal order needs to be rigorous and orderly.

If internal strife breaks out, it will be a very troublesome thing to deal with.

Not only that, we must also pay attention to cultivating residents' quality of life to prevent petty theft and other crimes.

“What you said makes a lot of sense,” Li Ye nodded.

The order previously maintained by combat personnel was no longer very practical.

He immediately decided to establish a security bureau on the Tomorrow.

As for the management of the Public Security Bureau, it was Old Zhou who took on the role.

Although Lao Zhou was brave in battle, he was getting old after all. Li Ye felt that it was not good to always let him charge into battle, and he was also a little worried.

The Public Security Bureau is a good place; not only is safety important, but it also allows Lao Zhou to shine.

Old Zhou readily agreed to this.

After a period of intensive planning, the structure of the Public Security Bureau was finalized.

The leadership team consists of Lao Zhou and a few others.

The functional departments are the Public Security Management Brigade, the Community Policing Team, the Case Investigation Team, and the Comprehensive Internal Affairs Office.

The staff consists of security guards and clerical personnel.

The equipment included batons, handcuffs, tear gas, and riot shields—a point where it was somewhat awkward for Li Ye, as these items were not even available in the production workshop for the Tomorrow.

"Maybe we should just go straight to the point and have the security guards carry Falcon assault rifles," he thought to himself.

The communication equipment is a walkie-talkie; for more advanced models, there is a law enforcement recorder.

The means of communication are motorcycles and patrol cars. At its current size, the Tomorrow is simply not capable of driving in the city.

In terms of technical equipment, it's a camera.

Li Ye believes that it is necessary to install cameras. On the one hand, they can monitor various parts of the city, and on the other hand, if disputes break out between residents, the footage can be retrieved for investigation.

Not only that, Lin Wu felt that a strict and effective punishment system should also be established.

Following his line of thought, Li Ye had a new idea.

"Since we're acting in accordance with the law, should we establish a court on Tomorrow?" he wondered.

World-class organizations like the Apocalypse Church, the Throne of Titans, and the Iron Brotherhood likely have courts, and may even have military tribunals and prisons.

Given the scale of a world-class organization, their flagship mobile city could potentially accommodate tens of millions of people.

Raising tens of millions of people is not like raising pigs, where you can just provide them with food and fresh water. You also need to establish a standardized system and order.

As for establishing a legal system on Tomorrow, if Li Ye tries to do it himself, it will probably take forever to complete.

You can simply buy a legal code from the three major organizations and you'll have everything you need.

In addition, the highest-level organizations currently on board Tomorrow are the War Committee and the City Residents Committee.

The Public Security Bureau cannot be compared to them; at most, it is an affiliated agency of the urban residents' committee.

Li Ye specifically explained this to Lao Zhou, who patted his chest to reassure him.

With the rapid increase in population, the public dining hall of Tomorrow was also greatly expanded, and one was built on each floor where residents lived.

The neighborhood committee specifically submitted a report reminding residents to move away from the wild.

That is, many residents hope to have the living conditions to cook for themselves.

毕竟很多新人都是拖家带口，现在住的房子又从2级的3X3扩充到了5X5。

According to their ideas, they wanted to own pots and pans, a gas stove, a whole set of kitchen utensils, and be able to buy vegetables and meat to cook their own meals.

Upon learning of this, Li Ye fell into deep thought.

Pots and pans can be made from plastic. Although the production workshop may not have all the gas stoves and kitchen utensils available, they can be purchased at the market.

Vegetables, meat, eggs, and fruits could indeed be sold in farmers' markets, indirectly increasing the value of contribution points.

Currently, it is not possible to supply natural gas and coal gas needed for gas stoves to every household.

He opted for a less ideal solution: building multiple communal kitchens on each floor and opening them to residents free of charge.

The farmers' market was thus established and operated exclusively by the city's neighborhood committee.

Li Ye naturally hopes that there are as many commercial entities as possible aboard the Tomorrow.

While talking with Lin Wu, Li Ye inadvertently glanced at the combat personnel patrolling the deck.

Thinking back on the battles the Tomorrow had fought along the way, he suddenly had an idea.

It's time for Tomorrow to introduce a pension system.

Back when it was at Tier 1 and Tier 2, the Tomorrow's internal construction was practically a makeshift operation. Whenever someone was injured or killed, the bodies were simply thrown into the furnace for cremation, without any compensation whatsoever.

The residents have become accustomed to this.

After all, in a wasteland teeming with monsters, just surviving is difficult enough; there's no room for such calculations as in modern society.

As urban development gradually improves, Tomorrow also needs to perfect its various systems.

The so-called pension is actually just a sum of contribution points.

The life system of Tomorrow is gradually being improved, and the value of contribution points is also increasing.

It allows users to purchase a range of fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and fish, as well as household appliances and electricity, and enjoy entertainment and consumption at the city's simulated training ground.

According to the plan, the compensation will increase based on the rank of the fallen soldier.

As for those who died without relatives, their names will be disregarded.

"In that case, should we build another cemetery for the fallen in the future?" Lin Wu asked.

Li Ye hesitated.

Although the space in tier 3 cities has increased significantly, building cemeteries still feels like a waste of space.

But he felt that those who fought and died for the Tomorrow Alliance deserved respect.

"Let's put this proposal on hold for now. I'll decide whether to build it once we've upgraded to a Level 4 mobile city," he said.

The exchange ended there, and Lin Wu sped away in his electric wheelchair.

Li Ye stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

He was now curious about what stage the great battle on the Heavenly Road in the Western Wilderness had progressed to.

Western Wilderness Continent, Plateau Area Sky Road Walkway, Apocalypse Church Level 1 Mobile City, Holy Sword B41.

On the deck, George lit a cigarette with practiced ease.

Over the past few days, the situation in the southern part of the Western Wilderness Continent has been largely settled.

The humans held the central Night Zone, routing the monster army and even killing their commander-in-chief, General Rogue. Although this orc commander fought with extreme bravery, always leading from the front, ultimately, being a habitual first-charger in battle is not always a good thing.

General Rogge was besieged and killed during an attack on a level 1 Iron Oath Brotherhood city.

This commander from the alliance was extremely open-minded about death, and even felt quite proud before he died.

Therefore, the War Alliance specifically requested the humans to retrieve General Rogge's body.

In exchange, the alliance made some concessions on the battlefield.

To the delight of the defenders on the southern front, Archbishop Heath returned and regained command.

He devised a "central outreach" tactic, using the Eternal Night District as the center and advancing towards multiple areas.

The war progressed smoothly, and the human army captured one area after another, eventually gaining control of the southern part of the Western Wilderness.

On the other hand, the northern part of the Western Wilderness Continent had completely fallen into the hands of the monsters.

Preston led the remaining troops and the assembled northern human forces back to the southern region to rejoin Heath.

In the seas, the Iron Brotherhood is still locked in fierce combat with the monsters.

The sea area surrounding the Western Wilderness Continent was so vast that neither side could control it for the time being, and they could only fight intermittently.

The north belongs to the monsters, the south belongs to the humans, and the sea is in a stalemate.

It seems the overall situation is settled, and the war should be over.

However, major battles continue to erupt in the plateau region.

The reason is simple: both humans and monsters want to control the Sky Path.

Whoever controls this continental project that stretches across the plateau region will have the initiative to attack the north/south.

As a result, both sides deployed a large number of mobile urban troops.

The vast majority of these mobile cities are Level 1 mobile cities with full configurations at Level 2.

The reason is simple: a level 2 mobile city is too large, making it too troublesome to move around in the snow-covered plateau, and it is difficult to maneuver and evade enemy fire.

George originally belonged to Holy Sword K32, but after the great battle in the Eternal Night District, Holy Sword K32 suffered heavy losses, and the entire organization of the mobile city was wiped out.

Therefore, George and the survivors were assigned to a Tier 1 mobile city tasked with operations in the high-altitude region.

To George's slight disappointment, the middle-aged deacon was assigned to another mobile city.

The two then bid each other a solemn farewell, and before leaving, the middle-aged deacon even swiped a pack of cigarettes from George's pocket.

Before George could even grieve over the parting, he was dragged into a fierce battle on the Skyway by Holy Sword B41.

A 56-day confinement period.

During this period, George's detention time was kept increasing because of smoking.

Although the Apocalypse Church strictly prohibits smoking and drinking, it also shows a humane side during times of war.

On the battlefield, you could die at any moment, so these forms of entertainment are necessary.

The cigarettes that George and the middle-aged deacon smoked were secretly bought from other mobile city lords.

As the alarm sounded, the battle on the plateau resumed.

A dozen kilometers away from the human formation, dozens of level 1 mobile cities of monsters were rapidly approaching by climbing snow-capped peaks.

The fire support city located behind the human formation immediately launched a round of artillery fire.

The shells whistled as they crashed into the snow-capped peaks, exploding into clusters of orange-red fireballs the instant they touched the snow.

The shockwave spread in a ring, shattering millennia-old snow like glass, and the rising snow mist refracted an eerie rainbow in the sunlight.

Tiny cracks spread across the mountainside, like the stretching of a giant beast as it awakens.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of tons of snow began to slide, and wherever the snow waves passed, the exposed rock layers were eroded, leaving fresh wounds.

Most of the monsters moved through the city and were thus buried within it.

However, the human forces dared not relax in the slightest.

Because they know that everything is just beginning.

With a roar, a monstrous mobile city suddenly emerged from the thick snow.

A huge, scarlet eye suddenly opened in its very center, and several giant hands and feet grew out from its sides, beginning to move wildly.

One after another, other monster cities emerged from under the snow, all looking exactly like this mobile city.

To facilitate high-altitude warfare, the Monsters allowed the Unification Church to modify its mobile cities into living entities.

The technology used is, of course, the flesh-and-blood technology mastered by the Unification Church.

The mobile cities, modified through human transformation, are more agile and rapid in their operations, but also more frenzied and brutal.

Right now, these dozens of living cities have rushed into the human defenders' formation.

Moreover, countless black dots appeared in the distant sky.

Upon closer inspection, they were clearly the monsters' jet planes, airships, and helicopters.

The snow-capped peaks are also covered with dense black dots; those are spider tanks, specially adapted for high-altitude warfare.

This Level 2 vehicle, equipped with eight flexible mechanical limbs, is highly capable of nimbly climbing and fighting on high-altitude terrain.

It can carry combat personnel and be equipped with a level 2 heavy machine gun, a level 2 rocket launcher, or even a level 2 artillery.

The only drawback is that, despite having "tank" in its name, its defenses are relatively weak and it is easily destroyed.

The human side also had spider tanks, which were quickly dispatched to intercept them.

The mobile cities located within the formation also began to welcome the living cities.

On the vast plateau, these steel behemoths spewing billowing steam engaged in fierce combat, the roar of their steam engines echoing through the sky.

The sounds of exploding shells, roaring heavy machine guns, and the tracks of Vientiane vehicles grinding through the ice intertwined, creating a death symphony of steel and fire on this plateau thousands of meters above sea level.

Gaps appeared on the nearby snow-capped peaks, from which countless monsters rushed out.

This is the Level 2 Snowdark civilization from the Monster World Organization, The Chosen.

As level 2 monsters, snow demons are about 3 meters tall, covered in long, pale fur that reflects a cold light in the sunlight.

Their mouths stretched all the way to their ears, and their mouths were filled with icicle-like fangs, while their fingers had translucent icicles.

As highly evolved level 2 monsters, the Yetis fight with their powerful physiques and extremely destructive teeth and claws.

They don't even have mobile cities.

Currently, the snow demons are moving at high speed in the Snow Peak Mountains, sometimes breaking up into smaller formations to nimbly evade human troops' bullets and artillery fire.

Soon, a human-made mobile city was destroyed.

A group of snow daemons rushed to its chassis and began to wantonly destroy its omnidirectional track clusters and rock bolt anchors.

Their method of destruction is extremely simple and brutal: tearing and biting with their sharp teeth.

The climbing accessories for the mobile city were thus devoured beyond recognition by them.

With the omnidirectional track clusters and rock bolt anchors completely destroyed, the mobile city lost its balance and crashed down the mountain.

Some snow demons climbed directly onto the deck and launched a frenzied attack on the human defenders.

High in the sky, the air forces of both sides were engaged in fierce combat, the tracer marks of bullets weaving a web of death.

On the deck, George was manipulating a heavy machine gun, firing wildly at the snow demons.

He witnessed a rather unexpected scene.

A large, imposing army appeared on the distant horizon.

Led by a mobile city on the throne of Titan, a massive dinosaur procession charges in.

With a series of roars, the dinosaurs joined the battle.

Pterodactyls descended from the sky, frantically plundering and killing the snow demons.

Velociraptors, having evolved the ability to climb, nimbly traversed the snow-capped peaks, tearing apart one monster soldier after another who drove spider tanks.

The Thunder Tyrant fired an electromagnetic pulse at the monster airship, instantly paralyzing it and causing it to crash.

George, who was firing, was stunned.

"What exactly is going on here?"
