Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 250 The Reality of the Universe and Urban Transportation (4K)

Zhou Xing briefly explained his thoughts.

That is to mine resources in space, or even on other planets.

“Your idea is indeed feasible,” Li Ye replied, “but it’s still a bit far off for us.”

Yang Zhengze raised objections.

“While there are resources in space, they’re not graded like the coal, iron ore, and saltpeter on Planet Weilan.” He spread his hands, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. “Even if they came into our hands, they wouldn’t be of much use!”

Fang Yong was stunned, and Li Ye's lips twitched involuntarily.

It has to be said that Yang Zheng's reminder was absolutely crucial!
The Alliance of Tomorrow relies on high-level resources.

Going to great lengths to send a Level 4 satellite into space, then trying to collect ordinary-level resources in space and sending it back down, the cost and benefits are completely disproportionate.

It even sounds a bit abstract.

However, this time Zhou Xing resolutely shook his head.

“The idea of ​​going to space or even other planets to mine resources wasn’t my own,” he said. “It was something a high-ranking bishop of the Church of Apocalypse told me about a few years ago.”

Li Ye's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He quickly walked up to Zhou Xing, stared intently into his eyes, and spoke.

"Tell me everything you know, Zhou Xing!"

Zhou Xing was startled by the commotion his alliance leader made.

After thinking it over carefully, he began to speak.

According to the high bishop, all three organizations—the Church of the Apocalypse, the Throne of Titans, and the Iron Brotherhood—mined resources in outer space, including high-grade iron ore.

Li Ye's expression changed instantly.

"You're saying there are high-grade iron ore deposits in outer space?" His voice changed as he spoke.

“Absolutely true, Alliance Leader,” Zhou Xing replied calmly. “That’s exactly what that high-ranking bishop told me.”

Li Ye didn't know what to say. He felt the world spinning around him, and he couldn't even stand up straight.

A tremendous shock instantly overwhelmed him.

The existence of high-grade iron ore in outer space means that not only Weilan Star, but also outer space itself has been severely distorted and digitized by this supernatural force!
Li Ye had always thought that only Wei Lan Star had been subjected to supernatural alterations, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but look up at the sky.

It's probably not just outer space, but perhaps the entire universe as well.
If that's the case, it means that all civilizations in the universe are facing the test of supernatural alteration.

Faced with countless hordes of monsters, their civilization either perished.

Either become stronger.

A few drops of sweat unknowingly slid down his cheek.

Zhou Xing and the other two gradually guessed Li Ye's thoughts, and their faces turned pale.

"That can't be possible, can it?" Fang Yong muttered.

"It's probably true." Yang Zheng said with a heavy heart.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh softly.

He never expected that simply mentioning a memory from many years ago would cause such a huge stir.

"Are you alright, Alliance Leader?" he asked with a hint of concern.

Li Ye raised his head and reached out to press his shoulder.

“No, you did a great job, Zhou Xing,” he said in a deep voice. “At least now, we finally understand what’s going on.”

In the following time, the four of them had a series of discussions about the situation in outer space.

He also invited Lin Wu along when he left the wilderness.

The first question is how the three major human organizations will send the resources mined in outer space back to the planet.

A few minutes later, Li Ye solved the problem directly.

“Resource transfer device,” he said. “Once space stations in outer space and colonies on other planets are equipped with it, and mobile cities on Weilan Star are equipped with another one, resources can be transferred between them.”

Zhou Xing and the other two nodded repeatedly.

Not only do space stations and colonies transmit resources mined in outer space to Weilan Star, but mobile cities on the planet can also send resources needed for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation back to the former.

"I have to say, this resource transfer device is really convenient and practical!" Fang Yong exclaimed.

Lin Wu then filled in the gaps in Li Ye's knowledge.

"Is everyone forgetting something?" he said, emphasizing each word. "Resource teleportation devices can only be equipped by mobile cities. Space stations and colonies simply cannot use them."

Li Ye was taken aback for a moment, then gently shook his head.

“Your line of thinking is indeed correct, Lin Wu, but there’s something you don’t know,” he said slowly. “When I was chatting with Archbishop Hiss before, he mentioned that mobile cities possess a space-based nature.”

Lin Wu's mind was very quick, and he instantly understood what Li Ye meant.

"You mean, the three major human organizations are directly using mobile cities as space stations and colony bases, right?"

In outer space, mobile cities are more flexible than space stations and colonies.

Whether it's resource extraction or foreign warfare.

“We don’t need high-level mobile cities to go to space,” Li Ye emphasized solemnly. “We only need a level 1 city, and then equip it with high-level city accessories.”

"I have to say, this tactic of 'small guy with a big fist' is incredibly effective!" Fang Yong exclaimed. "It's practically a revolution in the history of mobile cities!"

Li Ye and the others were also deeply moved.

What many people don't know is that the Iron Oath elder who invented the "small guy, big fist" tactic is still alive today.

With the first question settled, the group moved on to the second.

That is humanity's progress in space.

This time, Lin Wu spoke first.

"Humanity's world-class organizations are still fighting the monsters for this planet. Doesn't that mean...?" he said, "that the three major organizations lack the capability for space travel and to leave the solar system?"

Li Ye was initially surprised, but quickly understood what Lin Wu meant.

Space is vast and boundless, with nearly inexhaustible resources, so the planet Weilan is nothing in comparison.

If we had the ability to travel through space, humanity wouldn't need to fight to the death with the monsters on Azure Star.

They could simply form a space fleet by moving cities and leave the solar system to sail into deep space, without paying any attention to the enemy.

The same applies to the world-class organizations of the Monster Party!

"Your idea does make sense."

Even so, a sense of regret still lingered in everyone's hearts.

Ultimately, Planet Weilan is the mother planet of human civilization. Choosing to leave it and venture into space would feel like abandoning one's homeland.

Moreover, "taking back this planet from the monsters" has been a long-held obsession of humankind.

This obsession has persisted for hundreds of years, subtly influencing many people; it's not something that can be changed overnight.

Li Ye's expression gradually became serious.

He is currently unsure of humanity's progress in space.

"The highest level of mobile cities for humans is level 7. I wonder if level 7 mobile cities have technologies like warp drive, space jump, and light speed travel," he thought to himself.

"Speaking of which," Fang Yong scratched his head, "while space-based mobile cities can serve as colony bases and space stations, how exactly do people send an entire city into space?" "Perhaps through a super rocket," Li Ye guessed. "Like a five-stage rocket, or even a higher-level rocket."

During the conversation, he also realized something.

The level 7 flagship cities of both humans and monsters might be in space.

The reason is simple: Level 4 mobile cities are already unimaginably large, and Level 5, 6, and even 7 are even more exaggerated.

The landmass of a continent can hardly support such a behemoth, and terrain features such as mountains, lakes, and canyons can easily pose obstacles.

Previously, Li Ye had always assumed that the flagship cities of both sides were located in the sky or the sea.

Looking back now, space is actually more likely.

“In that case, there’s no need to launch mobile cities into space at all.” He shook his head. “The flagship city can simply produce and deploy mobile cities directly in outer space.”

Even after the meeting ended, Li Ye didn't stop working.

Because members of the neighborhood committee approached him again.

This time, they were talking about urban transportation.

I had previously wondered if it was possible to drive cars or even build roads in high-level mobile cities.

Now that wish has come true.

Ideally, the floor area of ​​the Tomorrow is 7.29 square kilometers.

This is already a considerable number. To put it in perspective, a standard football field is only 7140 square meters, which is equivalent to 0.007 square kilometers.

The floor area of ​​Tomorrow is equivalent to 1021 football fields lined up side by side.

Li Ye vaguely remembers that the Bird's Nest Stadium has an area of ​​only 0.021 square kilometers, Vatican City has an area of ​​0.44 square kilometers, and Monaco has a land area of ​​only 2.1 square kilometers.

Moreover, Tomorrow still has a total of 48 floors.

Before leaving the ship, when he had nothing to do, he liked to take walks on the Tomorrow while thinking about things. Before he knew it, he had explored the entire Tomorrow.

Now he probably wouldn't be able to explore the entire Tomorrow even if he ran his legs off.

Building urban transportation on the Tomorrow became an urgent matter.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but cheer up.

Building urban transportation is a massive project that needs to be done well now. As the Tomorrow series continues to improve, urban transportation will become increasingly important.

Regarding the meeting location, a member of the neighborhood committee made a suggestion.

That means heading to the city simulation training cabin.

After Tomorrow was promoted to Level 4, the neighborhood committee members entered Tomorrow's data into the simulation training pod.

In this way, whenever people want to build city structures, they can enter the simulated "Tomorrow" through the training pod to carry out a series of pre-planning.

“Your idea is excellent.” Li Ye nodded.

I couldn't have thought of that based on his words alone.

Building a mobile city ultimately requires collective wisdom and effort.

The neighborhood committee members exchanged glances, their eyes darting around.

“My lord, this idea was proposed by Miss Lin Xia,” one of them said.

The news spread quickly, and the people on the Tomorrow gradually learned that their lord and Lin Xia had begun dating.

Within the city's neighborhood committee, Lin Xia's status suddenly rose significantly. The committee members now treated this future lord's wife with considerable awe, not to mention the residents of the Tomorrow.

Li Ye learned from the crowd that Lin Xia was currently in a simulation training cabin, probably already planning urban transportation construction.

“Let’s go, let’s go to the training pod together,” he said.

Not only Li Ye and his group, but Lin Wu also came along this time. In fact, he was quite interested in urban transportation construction.

The group then entered the virtual "Tomorrow" through the training pod.

The moment I entered, I had a different feeling about leaving the wilderness.

Sunshine, a gentle breeze, and the feeling of being grounded.

This feeling felt incredibly real.

If he hadn't known it in his heart, he would have almost thought he was on the real Tomorrow.

The Level 4 city simulation training cabin truly offers a completely different experience.

When Li Ye inadvertently turned his head to look, his expression became surprised and complicated.

Lin Wu, who had also entered the scene, was standing at this moment.

"I have to say, it feels so good to be able to stand and walk," Lin Wu said sincerely.

Soon, everyone met up with Lin Xia and started talking about city transportation.

To facilitate movement, a large bus was specially set up in the training area.

Since it was a virtual scene, he directly set the bus to be driverless and intelligent.

The group then boarded a bus, enjoying the scenery along the way and beginning to plan urban transportation construction.

"This time we're going to have to repair the road," Lin Wu said.

At level 1, the residential buildings on Tomorrow are close together and very small.

As Tomorrow was upgraded to Level 4, the size of the residential buildings continued to increase. However, they were still crammed together like hotel rooms.

"So, before we build urban transportation, do we still need to build a house for the residents?" Li Ye pondered.

“My lord, that’s exactly what we were going to bring up with you,” one of the members replied.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

This is a much larger project than urban transportation.

Small houses will be built for each household.

After establishing the household registration system, Li Ye also figured out exactly how many households were on the Tomorrow.

There are about 5 people in 21452 households.

That is to say, 21452 small houses need to be built.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but frown slightly.

This is really difficult.

Building more than 20,000 houses would require a large amount of steel bars, concrete, and timber just for building materials.

Timber is the easiest building material to obtain; simply expanding the planting scale of level 3 pine trees will provide a continuous supply.

Secondly, there's the concrete. The city's neighborhood committee purchased design blueprints for ordinary concrete and cement well in advance, and the sand and gravel needed to build the concrete could be obtained in the peninsula area.

As for the water used for stirring—the Tomorrow is right next to the sea.

The most troublesome part is the steel bars.

The Tomorrow does not currently have steel reinforcement design drawings, but Liye can purchase them from the official store of the Apocalypse Church via satellite phone.

A high level is not required; a normal level is sufficient.

However, the amount of steel needed to build more than 2 small houses is astronomical, requiring the consumption of massive amounts of iron ore or steel.
