Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 224: Essential Technologies for Level 4 Mobile Cities (4K)

Building a healthy urban economy is ultimately a long and arduous task.

Whiteman waved his hand, signaling Li Ye to quickly come back to his senses and look at him.

“I have a better suggestion than the city power plant that the Tomorrow currently has,” he said with a smile.

Level 4 urban building, urban nuclear power plant.

After advancing to level 4, mobile cities can build powerful nuclear power plants within their cities if they master nuclear technology.

At that time, the entire mobile city will have complete freedom of electricity use.

Moreover, nuclear power plants can also provide urban energy for mobile cities.

"It can be said that the higher the level of a mobile city, the less of a shortage of urban energy," Whiteman concluded.

Li Ye, however, was more concerned about another issue.

"If the nuclear power plant is blown up, wouldn't the entire mobile city be destroyed?" he asked worriedly.

Whiteman shook his head.

“No need to worry, the defense level of a Level 4 mobile city has been raised to another level,” he said. “Whether you like it or not, a Level 4 mobile city must master nuclear technology.”

"Why? Please explain in detail," Li Ye asked.

Whiteman then spoke slowly.

First, mastering nuclear technology will enable the construction of nuclear power plants, thereby achieving freedom in electricity use and energy.

Secondly, mobile cities can build nuclear-powered submarines, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and nuclear weapons, thus elevating their external combat capabilities to a new level.

Third, the combat capabilities of Level 4 mobile cities have been expanded to include mobile suits from the sea, land, and air. In city battles, mobile suits will become the main force.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but recall the mobile suit OEM services he had previously purchased from the official store on Kongmeng Island.

3000单位4级铁矿，1000单位4级合金，1000单位4级精密配件。

And one nuclear power reactor.

He was somewhat disappointed when he saw the nuclear power reactor.

As a Gundam fan, he believed that mobile suits should be powered by GN Drives that emit GN particles.

Nuclear power reactors seem a bit outdated.

"Why do you look so disappointed when mobile suits are mentioned?" Whitman asked curiously.

".nothing."

Calming himself down, Li Ye asked a question.

"Bishop Whiteman, can mobile suits operate in land, sea, and air?"

Whiteman shook his head.

"No."

"Those who work on land must stay on the ground obediently, those who work in the air must fly obediently, and those who work at sea must swim obediently."

"If we want to switch combat modes, we need to carry out land/air/sea modifications like mobile cities."

Li Ye nodded repeatedly.

"Oh"

Seeing his reaction, Whiteman narrowed his eyes instantly, a hint of wariness in them.

Immediately afterwards, the bishop suddenly jumped up.

"I can see that! You have a serious prejudice against mobile suits! You think they're no good!"

"I'm not! I didn't!"

"Still pretending! I can clearly see that you're very disappointed with them! I must solemnly remind you! Level 4 mobile cities rely heavily on mobile suits!"

After much persuasion, Li Ye finally managed to convince Bishop Whiteman.

"So, Bishop Whiteman, does that mean a Level 5 mobile suit can be used on land, sea, and air?" he asked cautiously.

Whiteman nodded, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

"At level 5, there are super mobile suits. Just a few can turn the tide of battle."

"It is not only amphibious on land, sea, and air, but it can also fight in outer space. What it needs is no longer a nuclear power plant, but a super solar power plant."

"The cost of building a super mobile suit is enormous, even for world-class organizations. A typical level 5 mobile city would go bankrupt just to build one."

Li Ye continued to press for answers.

"So what are the weapons of the super mobile suits?"

“The super solar power plant generates energy particles that mobile cities can use to manufacture weapons for mobile suits,” Whiteman replied, “such as beam sabers, beam rifles, specialized energy missiles, and energy fields.”

As Li Ye listened, his eyes gradually brightened.

Isn't this just like Gundam?

We absolutely have to build it!
Whiteman got more and more excited as he continued to explain things to Liye.

The applications of super solar-powered furnaces are extremely wide-ranging.

A Level 5 space carrier would need it.

Level 5 super-mobile vehicles for land, sea, and air also need it.

It can also be installed in Level 5 mobile cities.

"A Level 5 Super Mobility Vehicle, what is that?" Rino asked curiously.

“A series of enormous vehicles, resembling super submarines, super tanks, and super fighter jets,” Whiteman replied. “Equipped with energy claws, energy fangs, energy microwave cannons, and other weaponry.”

"Oh, I got it!"

Li Ye nodded repeatedly.

He naturally understood this; he had seen it in Gundam anime.

As the conversation progressed, Whiteman returned to the main topic.

Tier 4 cities must master nuclear technology.

Although it is said that mobile cities can be produced as long as the design blueprints of a nuclear power plant are obtained.

However, nuclear power plants are not like ordinary power plants, which can be put into operation as soon as they are built and manpower is put in.

It requires a very high level of personnel quality.

Moreover, if not handled properly, it could lead to a terrible nuclear accident.

If it were to erupt in a mobile city, it would be a catastrophe.

Nuclear bombs and nuclear power reactors can only be built on the basis of the stable operation of nuclear power plants.

A thought popped into Li Ye's mind.

Tomorrow needs to start mastering nuclear technology ahead of schedule.

At its current rate of development, it is very likely to be promoted to a Level 4 mobile city within a year.

Talent needs to be cultivated in advance.

It's not just nuclear power plants, but also nuclear submarines, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and even pilots of mobile suits.

As for the corresponding series of books, the old method still applies.

They fleece the three major world-class organizations on the human side.

“Bishop Whiteman, could you please get me a complete set of books on nuclear technology from the Church of Apocalypse?” he asked.

Whiteman waved his hands repeatedly.

"Nuclear technology cannot be given away carelessly," he said solemnly.

Whether it's the Apocalypse Cult, the Titan Throne, or the Iron Oath Brotherhood, they all maintain very strict control over nuclear technology in mobile cities.

If a Level 4 mobile city intends to obtain a complete set of nuclear technology books from the three major organizations, it will need to undergo their strict approval process.

The review process is extremely rigorous, and once a city is found to be a predatory city, or has engaged in predatory city activities even once, it will be immediately shut down and sanctioned.

Li Ye seemed quite relaxed. The Tomorrow has always had a good reputation among the three major human organizations, so acquiring the complete set of books on nuclear technology should be much easier.

Whiteman looked at him and asked a question of his own.

"The world is no longer safe after the Silence Protocol is abolished. Why doesn't your Tomorrow Alliance choose to join one of the three major organizations?"

Li Ye gently shook his head.

Everyone has his own ambitions.

The three organizations have very good conditions, but there will be a lot of control measures in place.

Tomorrow's Alliance still needs to maintain a high degree of freedom.

And the most important point is
He believes that the Tomorrow Alliance will one day grow to the size of a world-class organization.

Seeing his expression, Whiteman clearly guessed what he was thinking and nodded slightly.

"It's a good thing that young people aspire to travel far and wide."

“Thank you for your understanding, Bishop Whiteman,” Li Ye said sincerely.

“Actually, my son is about the same age as you,” Whitman said. “He’s married and his baby is due soon, so I want to go back to see him as soon as possible.”

Li Ye was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

"Is that so?"

The world doesn't ultimately revolve around him alone.

Although it's hard to say goodbye, Whiteman's departure is inevitable in the future.

Thinking of this, he solemnly embraced Whiteman and spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your continued care and support for the Tomorrow Alliance, Bishop Whiteman."

Whiteman hugged him back tightly.

"Not at all. What makes me happiest is watching a city alliance gradually grow in the wasteland."

A week later.

"Finally we're here."

On the deck, Li Ye said softly.

At this moment, the Frost Continent had already appeared before his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is its coastline.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless expanse of ice.

The massive ice shelf extends from the edge of the continent to the sea surface, like a heavy white shield suspended above the deep blue water.

When they broke apart, the resulting icebergs were scattered along the coast. Some were sharp and angular like crystal palaces, while others were eroded by wind and waves into rounded blue domes that gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight.

Occasionally, a thunderous roar breaks the silence—the sound of glaciers collapsing, sending tens of thousands of tons of ice crashing into the sea and creating towering waves.

When Li Ye picked up the binoculars and looked out, he saw a slightly different scene.

Those are life forms that thrive in the polar regions.

The penguins huddled together on the ice, their figures densely packed, their calls rising and falling in waves.

Most of the seals were dozing on the ice floes, occasionally raising their heads warily.

Polar bears swam nimbly and powerfully in the water, waiting for their prey to hunt.

"That's truly rare," Li Ye remarked.

Monsters roam the wasteland, and natural creatures like these are becoming increasingly rare.

Almost every living thing I encounter on a daily basis has mutated.

At this moment, the residents of the Tomorrow came to the deck, looking at the new continent and the animals with curiosity and excitement.

Since the vast majority of people have never been to sea, they don't even recognize these animals.

Although it has reached its destination, Tomorrow is still one obstacle away from the land of the Arctic Continent.

A layer of floating ice stretching for tens of kilometers.

It formed a pale wall that refused passage between the mobile cities and the continental landmasses.

The surface of some ice layers is not pure white, but rather has a sickly blue color—that is the glacier formed by snow accumulation under high pressure.

The Alliance of Tomorrow doesn't need to take a long detour to land; they have the Iron Whale.

This defensive city thus sailed into the ice like a steel whale.

The crushing and cutting device at its front end is activated, and the array of 36 sets of fully interlocking precision steel saw teeth opens with a roar.

When the ice layer came into contact with the Iron Whale, the ice shattered into diamond dust on its jagged, cut surfaces, while the bubbles hidden within the ice burst one after another in the instantaneous pressure change, producing a crisp sound like machine gun fire.

The hydraulic breaker array starts synchronously, chiseling at high frequency the weak points of the ice layer, thus completely crushing it.

With the Iron Whale leading the way, the Tomorrow Alliance leisurely made its way toward land.

Liye dispatched reconnaissance aircraft to investigate the area where the Tomorrow Alliance was about to arrive.

The area was generally calm, and the reconnaissance aircraft did not detect any vehicles or signs of mobile city activity.

However, the Alliance of Tomorrow cannot let its guard down. There may be high-level mobile cities in the region that have concealed their whereabouts through various means.

"It seems our Tomorrow Alliance is the first to arrive here," Fang Yong said happily.

After some discussion, the group decided to postpone the land-based modifications and instead moor the ship at the coast.

Li Ye then looked at the system panel.

"The new round of intelligence should be almost ready by now."

This week's journey has not been very smooth.

Along the way, people often felt the violent turbulence of the waves, and even slight earthquakes coming from underground.

The crowd was puzzled, while Li Ye's expression changed slightly.

It's obvious that the giant snake is still causing trouble.

When he opened the system panel, the intelligence had already been refreshed.

1. A supreme monster exists in the Frostbite Continent. (Intelligence Value: Average)

[2. Archbishop Hiss, due to his outstanding performance, was highly regarded by the higher-ups of the Apocalypse Church and was slated to be transferred to headquarters for internal affairs management. However, he insisted on participating in the external war against the monsters. After careful consideration, the higher-ups of the Apocalypse Church agreed to his request. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)]

3. The Ocean Continent, located in the central part of the planet Azure Star, was completely destroyed by the monstrous Emperor Jormungandr, and is now a shattered archipelago. (Intelligence Value: Rare)

4. With the abolition of the Silence Protocol, world-class organizations from both sides began indiscriminate attacks. In the month leading up to the protocol's abolition, the three major human organizations had managed to consolidate 75% of human power in the wasteland. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

5. The "Spider Demon Civilization" existing in the Frozen Continent has already constructed an underground kingdom beneath the continent. The Spider Demon Civilization is a Level 3 monster civilization and has no mobile cities or vehicles. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

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

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

"Abandoning the secure internal affairs management work to volunteer for foreign war?" Li Ye sighed. "Archbishop Hiss is indeed a man who can't stay idle."

What attracted his attention even more than this was the fifth piece of intelligence.

The Spider Demon civilization built an underground kingdom beneath the frigid Arctic Continent.

Li Ye remembered the warning he had received earlier.

A high-level monster civilization without mobile cities is extremely dangerous.

"I wonder just how large the underground kingdom built by the Spider Demon civilization is?" he wondered. "I'll find a way to figure this out next."

A dozen minutes later, the Black Hawk helicopter dispatched by Liye brought back the news.

The driver discovered a level 2 iron ore vein in the wilderness of this land.

Clearly, this area belongs to level 2.

The reconnaissance aircraft has not yet detected any signs of monster activity in this Level 2 area, let alone any monster civilization.

This is perfect for the Tomorrow Alliance; they can take advantage of the refuge to gather more resources in this level 2 area.
