Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 249 The Scale of a Level 4 Mobile City (4K)

The fifth piece of information piqued Li Ye's interest.

A super-mobile island in the air, capable of supporting millions of people and even establishing a modern nation.

"If I have the chance, I must go and see it," he thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the first piece of intelligence with mixed feelings.

Since the Silence Protocol was abolished, the struggle and confrontation between humans and monsters has become increasingly intense.

Perhaps the day when the true victor is decided is not far off.

Then a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect to get two resource-related intelligence reports this time, and they're both epic and legendary level!"

The sixth piece of intelligence is indeed of the resource type; the Tomorrow Alliance can send mobile cities to salvage the remains of these mobile cities and obtain a large amount of metal resources.

Li Ye immediately became excited.

If all of these oil and gas fields are extracted and sold, they can earn a level 3 city crystal.

It's probably not just that; this is legendary intelligence. The scale of the oil and gas fields is unimaginably enormous. Not only will it bring level 3 city crystals, but it might also earn a large sum of extra crystal coins.

At that time, Liye will also be able to purchase a batch of level 4 iron ore and level 4 accessories, build a nuclear power plant, and launch satellites into the sky.

"Oh, right, there's also a Level 4 city simulation training cabin!" he exclaimed excitedly.

As Li Ye picked up the walkie-talkie to call Zhou Xing, he suddenly stopped.

As is customary, the work of developing natural gas and oil fields is naturally assigned to the Engineer.

The problem is that this is a legendary resource, and it will take a long time for just one Engineer to mine it.

A completely new idea suddenly popped into his head.

Since the goal is to extract oil and gas from the fields anyway, why not just sell the extraction rights for the peninsula and adjacent waters to the three major human organizations?

This has one advantage: once the contract is signed, Li Ye will receive a huge sum of money, which will allow him to begin the process of upgrading Tomorrow to level 4.

This is much faster than working yourself to death digging for oil and gas fields.

Without hesitation, Li Ye immediately took out a Level 4 satellite phone and contacted Albert.

“It’s you again, kid,” Albert said. “What’s up this time?”

He became excited when he learned that the Tomorrow Alliance had "surveyed" a large number of oil and gas fields in the peninsula region and planned to sell the mining rights to the three major human organizations.

"Really? Humanity is currently facing a severe shortage of resources. I heard from my colleagues that the higher-ups are planning a major project."

"Is that so?" Li Ye smiled slightly.

The so-called major project is probably that super floating island.

Not only is building islands necessary, but the infrastructure on islands also requires a large number of mobile cities and engineering vehicles, thus creating a demand for fuel, namely natural gas and oil.

Therefore, Albert, acting as an intermediary for the Apocalypse Church, began negotiations with the Tomorrow Alliance.

The C21, originally intended to build an underwater city in the peninsula region, was tasked with investigating the truth of what Li Ye had said.

After surveying the area indicated by Li Ye, the lord of Sacred Machine C21 showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I never imagined there were so many oil and gas fields here." He couldn't help but pat Li Ye on the shoulder. "You guys are really lucky; you're going to make a killing this time!"

After a discussion with Albert, Li Ye finalized the terms of the agreement.

The Alliance of Tomorrow has sold the mining rights to the Apocalypse Church, which will send several Level 3 engineering cities to mine oil and gas fields. The Alliance of Tomorrow needs to protect their safety and ensure that their work is not disturbed.

This contract is worth a full 500 million crystals.

"So what do you want to do with this money?" Albert asked. "There's a resource teleportation device on the Holy Machine C21. If you want to buy anything from the official Apocalypse Church shop, I can help you contact the shop."

“Please allow me to think about it,” Li Ye replied.

After some thought, he decided what he wanted to buy with the money.

One level 3 city crystal, 4000 units of level 3 city alloy.

A design drawing for a 4-stage rocket launch platform.

A set of professional technical books on rocket launches, a set of professional training books for astronauts, and a set of professional technical books on satellite operation.

A blueprint for upgrading a Tier 4 city simulation training cabin.

A large number of level 4 resources, such as iron ore, accessories, and cloth.

“Understood, I’ll arrange it for you,” Albert replied. “However, 500 million crystal coins probably won’t be enough to buy so much stuff.”

Leaving the wilderness, one naturally understands.

The Alliance of Tomorrow hasn't been idle these past ten days; they've hunted quite a few demons and obtained a large batch of level 3 design blueprints. Selling these blueprints will bring them enough money.

The Apocalypse Church acted swiftly, finishing everything within a few hours.

Using the resource transfer device of the Sacred Machine C21, Li Ye sold the level 3 design blueprints he had collected over the past ten days and bought what he wanted.

The level 3 city crystals alone cost a whopping 320 million crystal coins—and that's only because the Tomorrow Alliance has always had a good reputation, which is why the Apocalypse Church is willing to sell them.

A large batch of level 4 iron ore and accessories also arrived. As for the rocket launch and astronaut training books, they were essentially a free gift from the Apocalypse Church.

Suppressing his excitement, Li Ye immediately began to arrange the promotion of Tomorrow.

The city crystals, promotion blueprints, city alloys, and city structure blueprints are all ready.

By collecting metal resources in the peninsula and forging them into Tier 3 steel, Tomorrow has gathered 8000 units.

Level 3 timber is obtained by planting level 3 pine trees in the city.

The Tier 3 fuel was manufactured by the Engineer—its goblin oil processing unit had already been upgraded to Tier 3. As for the source of the fuel, at the request of the Wilderness, the Church of Apocalypse allowed them to exploit several oil fields in the peninsula region.

As for level 3 saltpeter, it can only be obtained from the mines in the peninsula region. Although the Tomorrow Alliance has mined quite a few mines over the past ten days and accumulated a considerable amount of level 3 saltpeter, it is still far from 8000 units.

Li Ye had no choice but to contact Albert again and purchase the remaining saltpeter.

Upon careful reflection, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The resources required for upgrading a mobile city are increasing with each upgrade, and it's truly a painful process.

After much effort, he finally managed to gather all the resources.

As always, all residents need to be evacuated before the city is upgraded.

After confirming that the peninsula area was safe, Li Ye began evacuating the residents. Out of caution, he did not evacuate the residents to the ground, but instead distributed them to other mobile cities.

While investing various promotion resources in the production workshop, Liye specifically planned the vehicle warehouse.

Having learned from past mistakes, he designed that vehicle warehouse to be an ultra-large scale, with a height of over a hundred meters.

This way, large ships can be accommodated, and future mobile suits can be placed horizontally inside.

After a series of dramatic events, Tomorrow officially upgraded to a Level 4 mobile city. Now, this mobile city has become an unprecedented behemoth, almost like a towering mountain.

Filled with excitement, everyone disembarked onto the deck.

Li Ye himself went to the production workshop and checked the current data of Tomorrow.

Upon being upgraded to a Level 4 mobile city, Tomorrow's length increased to 3375 meters, its width to 2160 meters, and its height to 480 meters.

The upper, middle, and lower floors have been expanded to 3 upper floors, 34 middle floors, and 11 lower floors.

Li Ye silently calculated the area of ​​one floor, which is equivalent to 7.29 square kilometers per floor.

However, this is only the ideal data when the length and width are multiplied; the actual data will be discounted.

He couldn't help but glance at the incredibly spacious floor in front of him.

A Level 4 mobile city can theoretically support 20 to 50 people, which is quite an impressive scale; such a population could constitute a small city.

Incidentally, although the urban space has been further improved, the residents' room size has not increased and remains at 5x5.

The main reason is that the area is already sufficient.

In the following period, he began to upgrade the city simulation training cabin.

模拟训练舱从3级升到4级需要消耗400单位4级铁矿，200单位4级布料，200单位铜矿。

After the upgrade, it is now large enough to accommodate 1000 people for training at the same time.

What Li Ye is most concerned about is the new features after the simulation training pod is upgraded to level 4.

首先，模拟训练舱内的时间流速比从3级的1比24变成了1比72。等于是在训练舱里训练72小时，外面仅仅只是过去了一小时。

If it's one day, then it's equivalent to seventy-two days, or more than two months.

"Not bad, not bad," Li Ye said happily.

This is precisely the function he urgently needs. As the time flow rate increases, the efficiency of Tomorrow's talent cultivation will also greatly improve.

Secondly, the Level 4 simulation training cabin allows trainees to have a realistic sense of touch and all five senses—the feeling that "the training scene is so realistic that it is completely indistinguishable" that Li Ye wanted has been achieved.

After upgrading the training pod, Li Ye began to busy himself with the next task.

That is to build nuclear power plants.

The location of the nuclear power plant was determined when the production workshop was upgraded with the investment of resources.

The nuclear power plant will be built on the lower C7 floor, and to accommodate the height of the nuclear power plant building, Rino specially raised the height of this floor.

Nuclear power plants rely primarily on nuclear energy, specifically nuclear fission reactions, to generate energy.

For this reason, Albert specifically reminded people to be aware that nuclear power plants not only require Stage 4 nuclear fuel, but also Stage 4 moderators and Stage 4 coolants.

Li Ye expressed his gratitude to him and purchased the corresponding level 4 materials from the official store of the Apocalypse Sect.

After the nuclear power plant was completed, Li Ye couldn't help but observe it carefully.

The most striking feature is the reactor building of the nuclear power plant, a massive cylindrical concrete structure with a hemispherical top. Its smooth and thick surface resembles a fortress sculpted from a single, massive gray block. The outer walls of the building are several meters thick, the concrete gleaming a cold, grayish-white, and occasionally steam can be seen slowly escaping from the ventilation openings.

Following the reactor is a series of long, low-rise factory buildings, as well as power transmission towers and cooling towers extending from them.

Compared to nuclear power plants on Earth, Level 4 nuclear power plants have a sophisticated and austere feel, with no superfluous decorations and every design element serving its function.

It is smaller than the Blue Star nuclear power plant.

Li Ye immediately arranged for the nuclear power plant personnel he had previously trained to move in.

During this time, he noticed that everyone seemed very nervous.

After all, nuclear power plants are different from ordinary power plants; an accident there could be extremely fatal.

Therefore, Liye specifically issued a reminder.

"Safety first! The operation of a nuclear power plant can be slow, but accidents must not occur."

According to the off-site plan, the first week after the nuclear power plant is completed will be used for personnel to familiarize themselves with the operation before it is put into operation.

At that time, the Tomorrow will have free access to electricity.

Moreover, when necessary, the nuclear power plant will also supply a large amount of electricity to the Tomorrow, which will then be converted into urban energy.

After finishing up with the nuclear power plant project, he left to move on to the next project.

That is to launch satellites into the sky.

He now has the design blueprints for a 4-stage rocket, a 4-stage rocket launch platform, and a 4-stage satellite.

The necessary resources for their creation have also been prepared.

As for the personnel to operate the rocket launch, he has already inputted all the books he just acquired into the Level 4 city simulation training cabin.

With a flow rate ratio of 1:72, the speed at which talent is cultivated is very fast.

In reality, three days is equivalent to 216 days of training in the training pod, which is a full seven months.

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

Based on the Level 4 city simulation training cabin, the talent training for Tomorrow will basically be conducted in 3-day cycles.

Whether it's tank crews, bomber crews, or ship personnel, a batch can be trained in just 3 days. This speed is like dropping dumplings into boiling water.

"In this way, the construction of the Tomorrow's external combat forces will be very rapid," he thought to himself.

The key factor is still population.

In fact, over this period of time, Li Ye discovered that the people in the wasteland were not stupid.

Although there has been a break in knowledge, technology and culture over the past few centuries, they can still be nurtured if given the right environment.

"Overall, we still need a learning and development environment," he remarked.

Li Ye has already decided on a strategy.

Three days later, Tomorrow will officially launch the satellite into the sky.

With satellites, we can observe the entire planet and the activities on the continents in real time.

Upon learning of this, Yang Zheng and the other two were extremely excited.

"It's like we've gained a third eye!" Fang Yong exclaimed excitedly.

"We must acquire Level 4 satellite weapons as soon as possible!" Yang Zheng said firmly. "That way, once the enemy is detected, we can launch ultra-long-range firepower strikes!"

Zhou Xing, on the other hand, appeared to be more pragmatic.

"Leader, this means we've officially taken a step into space!" he said.

"Yes!" Li Ye looked somewhat puzzled at Zhou Xing's expression. "It seems you have some new ideas, why don't you tell me?"
