Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 226 The Exploration Plan of the Level 0.5 Mobile City (4K)

Lin Mei told Li Ye that the Spider Demon's carapace was extremely hard and had an unnatural matte black finish, which could absorb most of the light to conceal itself. Each of its eight legs, covered with barbs, was as thick as a century-old oak tree, and its joints were covered with thick, porous scales.

Each spider demon possesses powerful combat abilities, strong defense, and extremely high reaction speed and reaction speed, and can also create various special spider silk.

There are many, many kinds of them.

Moreover, the spider demons possess extremely strong digging abilities.

“They absolutely hate light, so they only live underground,” Lin Mei added.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ye spoke again.

Do the spider demons have a social structure?

“Yes,” Lin Mei replied. “The Spider Demons not only established an underground kingdom in the Frozen Continent, but also possessed a structure similar to that of a king, ministers, nobles, generals, and commoners.”

"How many people does the Spider Demon civilization have? How big is the underground kingdom?" Li Ye asked again.

Lin Mei shook her head.

"We do not know at the moment."

Titan Throne only took notice of the Spider Demon civilization in recent years.

Although there are some monster civilizations in the Frozen Continent, the Spider Demon civilization is the most unique.

After careful study, the Titan royal family discovered that the spider silk spun by the spider demons had extremely high value.

In order to obtain these resources, they tried to communicate with the spider demons and attempted to recruit them as employees.

However, the spider demons were extremely conservative and stubborn, and directly rejected their request.

It was during the communication with the Spider Demons that the Titan Throne discovered the underground kingdom that the Spider Demons had established in the Frozen Continent.

According to investigators, the underground kingdom of the Spider Demon civilization was not a city in the traditional sense, but rather a collection of countless interconnected tunnels, caves, and underground cities.

"We cannot figure out how deep their kingdoms are, or how many tunnels, caves, and underground cities there are."

Lin Mei murmured.

"The reason for investigating it is that the Imperial Council believes the Spider Demon Civilization may be a highly threatening monster civilization."

For such monstrous civilizations, the Titan Throne often only has two choices.

Either control it or erase it.

“Imagine if we could control the Spider Demon civilization, we could obtain a continuous supply of all kinds of special spider silk from the Spider Demons,” Oleg said, his eyes shining brightly.

Li Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Regarding the Spider Demon civilization, the Titan Throne has already formulated an action plan.

The first step in the plan was to find out the size of the underground kingdom.

Li Ye quickly realized a key problem.

"Professor Lin, what methods does the Titan Throne intend to use to explore the Spider Demons' underground kingdom?"

“A mobile city,” Lin Mei replied.

Li Ye shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

"The underground kingdom is mainly connected by tunnels, so a city of this size probably wouldn't be able to get in."

To his surprise, Lin Mei showed a rare smile.

"Who says it can't be done?"

She quickly revealed the answer.

That's a level 0.5 mobile city.

A level 0.5 mobile city is only the size of a truck. As long as you equip them with level 3 climbing components, level 3 artillery, level 3 heavy machine guns, and level 3 armed combat personnel, they can be sent out to explore the Spider Demons' underground kingdom.

As a world-class organization, the Throne of Titans possesses the capability to create mobile cities.

The only thing that Lin Mei regrets is that there aren't many level 0.5 mobile cities that can be explored at the Titan Throne.

Moreover, it has multiple research bases in the Arctic, and with each group dividing it up, even less will end up in the hands of the Ice Dome Research Base.

“Professor Lin, I estimate we can only get a maximum of 10 seats,” Oleg said.

“I think it will be even less,” Lin Mei replied wistfully.

After saying that, she looked at Li Ye with a meaningful expression.

"That's why we need to recruit people from outside."

“You’re probably going to be disappointed, Professor Lin,” Li Ye replied somewhat embarrassedly. “Our Tomorrow Alliance doesn’t have any Level 0.5 mobile cities, and we basically don’t have any climbing vehicles either, so it’s difficult for us to help.”

But as he spoke, he realized something and stopped talking.

The above is true, but Tomorrow has a well-established special forces unit.

Special forces nowadays can be considered to be at level 3 with full equipment.

The combination of a jetpack and a climbing grappling hook allows them to move nimbly between tunnels, caves, and dungeons in the underground kingdom, and even fight against spider demons!

Lin Mei was particularly delighted when Li Ye mentioned that his special forces could participate in the war.

"Your Tomorrow Alliance's special forces are really well-equipped?" she exclaimed. "You've really put a lot of thought into this, investing resources specifically to build such an elite force."

Li Ye scratched his head.

He didn't mean it; he just couldn't keep up with the endless stream of design drawings suitable for special forces.

"Then it's settled," Lin Mei said. "The exploration plan will begin soon, so you should hurry back and prepare."

For this reason, Li Ye specifically asked her for detailed data on the underground kingdom's caves, tunnels, dungeons, and spider demons.

This would make it easier for him to input the information into the city training pod, so that the special forces could train in advance.

Before leaving, Lin Mei specifically reminded him of something.

The compensation requested by Tomorrow Alliance has been submitted.

The Level 3 city structure blueprint and a series of books will be paid for after Tomorrow Alliance completes its work.

"Okay, thank you then." Li Ye shook hands with her.

Not only that, he also learned an unexpected piece of news from the other party.

The level 4 aerial mobile island, "Sky Island," will arrive at his tundra region.

This was sent by the higher-ups.

Sky Island will deploy a Level 3 engineering mobile city in the tundra region to initiate the construction of the underground city.

To ensure the safety and control of the tundra region, Sky Island will also deploy a Level 3 mobile urban combat cluster.

When Lin Mei inadvertently mentioned the name of the combat group commander, Li Ye was stunned.

That was Heath.

The thought of reuniting with Heath in the tundra filled him with excitement.

In addition, the Sky Island also carries some scattered human mobile cities.

They came to Arctic Asia seeking development opportunities.

After saying goodbye to Lin Mei and Oleg, Li Ye and Whiteman returned to the Tomorrow by helicopter.

Upon returning to the deck, Li Ye summoned his companions and Lin Wu and informed them of what had happened.

"That's the situation. Zhou Xing's Engineer is going to be conscripted to build the underground city."

Zhou Xing couldn't help but get excited when he heard that.

"Really? That's great!"

He has always been very enthusiastic about engineering projects. While discussing the project, he also brought Lin Wu the information he had on the Spider Demon and the Underground Kingdom, instructing him to input it into the simulation training pod to create training scenarios and to have the special forces begin training as soon as possible.

"The underground kingdom of the Spider Demon civilization?" Lin Wu said leisurely. "I have to say, I'm actually very much looking forward to exploring it."

With that, he drove his electric wheelchair away at breakneck speed.

After exchanging glances, Li Ye continued discussing matters with his companions.

"A blueprint for a Level 3 city structure? Aren't we getting closer and closer to becoming a Level 4 city?" Fang Yong exclaimed with delight.

For the Mobile City Alliance, a mobile city being promoted to level 4 is equivalent to all cities being promoted to level 4.

“That being said, we still need to gather 8000 units of various level 3 resources and city crystals,” Li Ye hesitated. “Especially the latter; those are not easy things to find.”

The four were most concerned about the monster civilizations that came from the sea routes.

"Why have all the level 3 monster civilizations from Nanliuzhou retreated to Hanjizhou?" Fang Yong asked in surprise.

“That’s not surprising. The monsters in the wasteland are very similar to humans, possessing an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm,” Yang Zheng replied. “There are definitely more than just these level 3 monster civilizations; there are also level 1 and level 2 monster civilizations.”

According to everyone's plan, the Engineer will be specifically responsible for the construction of the underground city, and special forces will be sent to assist in exploring the underground kingdom.

The Tomorrow, Iron Whale, Peacemaker, and Starship are responsible for confronting the monster civilization that may land in the tundra.

As for the Qiming, it was specifically responsible for mining resources overseas.

The four men's expressions turned serious at the thought of a city battle.

This time it involves ice field warfare, naval warfare, and air warfare.

“In fact, we are not isolated. The three major human organizations will also deploy an urban combat cluster in the tundra,” Li Ye reminded them. “You all know the commander; it’s Archbishop Hiss.”

"Really?" Fang Yong exclaimed in surprise.

“Archbishop Hiss is a very good person. It’s really great to be able to fight alongside him,” Yang Zheng said sincerely.

Li Ye nodded, then waved his hand.

"That's about it, everyone get ready."

In the following period, he convened the War Committee to begin discussing war preparations.

Although it sounds incredibly impressive, the entire war council consisted of only 50 people.

Previously, there were only 20 people.

While Whiteman was still around, Li Ye planned to ask him to improve the command, operations, logistics management, administration, intelligence and technical support departments and expand their staff to around 200 people.

During this period, Fang Yong, Zhou Xing, and Yang Zheng, his three companions, will also be drawn into his group.

Although the Engineer is not combat-capable, Zhou Xing still needs a place on it.

As required by Li Ye, members of the War Committee needed to compile a list of the manpower, combat resources, and vehicle capacity required for a war, as well as the necessary supplies of steel, fuel, and food.

The enemy's standard is a complete level 3 monster civilization.

The members listened attentively and nervously to Li Ye's instructions and took notes of his requirements.

After the meeting, Li Ye was about to go back to his room to rest when he suddenly heard a noise above him.

The clouds in the sky began to move unnaturally, as if stirred by an invisible hand.

At first, only a few scattered wisps of clouds deviated from their course, then the entire sky trembled violently as if a curtain had been torn open. Accompanied by a low-frequency hum, a sky island that blotted out the sun appeared.

Li Ye was somewhat surprised.

"Is this Sky Island? We arrived way too fast!"

As Sky Island activated its magnetic device, the mobile urban combat cluster belonging to the Apocalypse Cult arrived at the ocean in succession.

Its configuration is as follows:
Two Level 3 assault-type cities.

Two Level 1 assault-type cities.

A level 1 defensive city.

A Level 1 fire support city.

Undoubtedly, all Level 1 mobile cities are fully equipped as Level 3 cities.

The city cluster completes its water-based transformation while aboard the air-hopping island.

To Li Ye's surprise, the Level 3 assault city was actually the Saint.

"So the Apocalypse Cult used its internal resources to upgrade it from level 2 to level 3?"

He arrived at the deck of the Saints in a Black Hawk helicopter.

Heath was also somewhat surprised when he saw Liye.

"I didn't expect the Tomorrow Alliance to be here too."

At that moment, a young girl rushed over with the documents in her hand and handed them to Heath.

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Ye's eyes when he saw it.

"Is this your new deputy? Where did the previous one go? Was he promoted?"

Heath paused upon hearing this, a hint of sadness appearing in his eyes.

He's gone.

"This"

Li Ye paused for a moment, but ultimately did not pursue the matter further.

While the two were talking, another mobile city arrived on the ground via a magnetic device.

That was none other than "Nature V7," a Tier 3 engineer-type city on the Titan Throne.

“It’s about to start construction on the underground city,” Heath said succinctly.

The lord of Nature V7 told Zhou Xing that the construction of underground cities in the polar regions would be somewhat special and would require corresponding engineering facilities.

To this end, he specially built a Level 3 plasma drilling tower for the Engineer to open up underground space, as well as a complete set of Level 3 polar engineering vehicles.

The "Polar Geological Radar Vehicle" is capable of scanning and detecting ice thickness, bedrock structure, and potential cavities using penetrating radar and seismic waves.

The "plasma ice drill" is capable of rapidly melting and penetrating hundreds of meters of ice to create vertical passages.

Modular tunnel boring machines are responsible for building the main tunnel through ice and bedrock.

A "multi-functional robotic arm engineering vehicle for use under ice" comparable to a small-scale engineering city.

An "air maintenance vehicle" equipped with a complete oxygen production system that can provide oxygen support during construction under ice.

A "miniature power station vehicle" that can provide temporary power support to the construction area.

Just like before in the basin area, it's just a rental; you have to return it after you're done using it.

Looking at the construction equipment and engineering vehicles in front of him, Zhou Xing's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Through conversation with the other party, Li Ye learned that the humans planned to build 12 underground cities here.

Each dungeon is fully self-sufficient and can accommodate 10,000 people.

Later, a level 3 engineer city will arrive in the tundra region via an aerial mobile island.

"12? Are they going to build that many all at once?" Li Ye exclaimed in surprise.

The lord explained the reasons in detail.

According to reconnaissance from the Dome Research Base, the tundra region is relatively secluded in Arctic Asia.

The Spider Demon civilization has built very few tunnels, caves, and underground cities in the tundra region, only two or three in total. If there were more, the underground cities of both sides might be next to each other, and humans and Spider Demons might become neighbors.
