Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 259 How to Build a Modern Metropolis in One Month? (4K)
Upon hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but scratch his head.

This matter is actually related to him.

If he hadn't reminded Heath and the human leadership to evacuate the hundreds of level 0.5 mobile cities that were attacking the underground world, they would have been buried underground long ago.

In a sense, he has also contributed his own strength to the construction of the island.

"I understand!" Zhou Xing, standing to the side, clapped his hands with his eyes shining.

He quickly voiced his guess.

Level 0.5 mobile cities possess extremely high flexibility.

If you equip it with heavy machine guns, artillery, and other high-level weapons, it becomes a highly aggressive land combat vehicle. But if you equip it with robotic arms, claws, cranes, and other engineering equipment, it becomes an all-around super engineering vehicle.

With the addition of underground, aerial, and underwater modifications, a level 0.5 mobile city can be used for engineering operations in various environments.

Upon careful consideration, Li Ye realized that this was indeed the case.

Albert smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing Zhou Xing's excited expression, Li Ye realized something and then looked at Bishop Albert.

"Bishop Albert, how much does a level 0.5 mobile city cost?"

He estimated that with the current strength of Tomorrow Alliance, they could afford to purchase it.

毕竟1级移动城市打造需要50万左右晶币，5000单位1级铁矿，外加1000单位左右的各类建材。

A level 0.5 mobile city is much smaller in scale, so it requires far fewer resources to build.

"Including the processing fee, it should only cost three or four hundred thousand crystal coins," he thought to himself.

As he predicted, Albert stated that the current market price for a Level 0.5 mobile city is 42 crystals.

For Li Ye, it's the price of selling a few level 3 design blueprints.

“Zhou Xing, if you want one, I can certainly get one for you,” Li Ye said.

Zhou Xing snapped out of his daze and gently shook his head.

He is interested, but he doesn't have much need for it right now.

The group continued their sightseeing tour by helicopter.

Li Ye continued to ask questions.

“Bishop Albert, the Home Island is equipped with modern standards, right?” He hesitated before continuing.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Albert asked, puzzled.

"So how did you build those cities?" Rino asked.

Although he is not a civil engineering professional, he is well aware that building a modern city from scratch is an extremely complex, costly, and long-term coordinated system engineering project.

Whether it's transportation networks, water and electricity supply, sewage systems, or building construction and green space planning.

Albert pointed ahead.

“A big city is being built there; you can find the answer there.”

A dozen minutes later, the helicopter arrived at the construction site in the big city.

After a quick glance, Li Ye instantly understood.

Humans build large cities primarily by moving the city's production workshops!
This large city is equipped with two Level 4 engineer-type cities, hundreds of Level 0.5 mobile cities, and hundreds of engineering vehicles.

It's called a production workshop because monsters in the wasteland drop blueprints for buildings such as apartment buildings, office buildings, skyscrapers, and cafes.

It can be created simply by investing resources in the production workshop.

However, due to the limited size of the production workshop itself, it is necessary to input modular building blueprints for modification. In this way, the buildings constructed in the production workshop will be produced in the form of modules, which will then be quickly assembled using a series of engineering equipment.

Li Ye and his group had witnessed this scene before when they were in Nanliuzhou.

However, the urban construction in front of us is even more insane. Those two level 4 engineering-type cities have been built with complete sets of buildings, office buildings, and apartments!

Yes, build it directly.

Upon closer inspection, the production workshops of the two Level 4 engineering cities were enormous, large enough to house a skyscraper. Buildings were constructed within these workshops and then transported to designated areas by multiple Level 4 cranes.

Zhou Xing was immediately deeply shocked.

Although he was the lord of an engineering-type city and had considerable knowledge of engineering construction, he was truly astonished this time.

"So it's possible to skip modular production and build directly by expanding the scale of the production workshop?" he murmured. "I've learned something new, I've really learned something new this time."

Upon closer inspection, a strange light appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

The level 4 engineering-type city has a total of 8 production workshops! At this moment, all 8 production workshops are operating simultaneously, continuously building various city structures.

"That's amazing!" he exclaimed.

There is no doubt that these two engineering-type cities made huge sacrifices in terms of space for engineering construction.

Eight giant production workshops arranged side by side occupy the vast majority of the area. With the addition of countless robotic arms, claws, cranes, and various engineering equipment around them, there is almost no space left for living.

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but frown.

While this type of engineer-type city boasts extremely powerful engineering capabilities, it is indeed somewhat unsightly in appearance.

"So how many people can live up here, Bishop Albert?" he asked.

“Less than ten thousand people,” Albert replied. “And they’re not inhabited at all; these are cities built by the Church of Apocalypse specifically for engineering purposes.”

As they talked, the Level 4 mobile cities were pouring steel bars and concrete into their eight giant production workshops, transforming them into various buildings.

Li Ye looked towards one of the giant production workshops.

A complete office building is being produced on an assembly line.

The 200-meter-long and 80-meter-wide building was illuminated by industrial searchlights in the production workshop, thus exposing it to a torrential downpour of welding sparks.

Various production machines move synchronously on the assembly line track, precisely inserting prefabricated floor slabs into the frame like a surgeon. The bolt holes on the edge of each floor slab have been laser-engraved and aligned with an error of no more than 0.1 millimeters.

Ventilation ducts and water and electricity facilities were also precisely installed into the office building.

The same scene can be found in other giant production workshops.

Li Ye carefully calculated the time and found that the entire process, from the input of building materials to completion, only took 15 minutes.

Two Level 4 mobile cities and sixteen giant production workshops mean that sixteen buildings can be constructed in 15 minutes.

At this moment, these two level-four cities are moving while production is underway, hoisting the completed buildings into the planned area.

The level 0.5 mobile city was transformed into an underground excavator and equipped with various engineering equipment to excavate subway tunnels, construct sewers, power lines, fiber optic cables, and water pipes underground.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

Urban dome, structural framework, modern urban construction.

He had already figured out how the three most difficult projects were solved, and the remaining transportation networks, canals, and farmland construction were really just child's play.

Albert then went on to explain the city's planning.

The city is mainly divided into the following areas.

The first is the core administrative and hub area.

It has government and administrative centers for urban management, policy making and public services, as well as central transportation hubs that integrate buses, light rail and subways.

The second is the residential area.

There is a range of apartments and related amenities.

The third is the commercial and entertainment district.

Examples include market squares, cinemas, gyms, cafes, and restaurants. The fourth ecological and agricultural zone.

Examples include vertical farms that grow a wide variety of crops, and seawater desalination and recycling systems.

As for industrial zones and scientific research and education zones, they were completely eliminated.

Instead of building industry in a city, it would be better to place a mobile city next to it and use its production workshops to carry out a series of productions.

The research and education area has been replaced by a mobile city simulation training cabin.

High-level simulation training cabins have an extremely exaggerated time flow ratio. Residents can study in the simulation training cabin for a day, while only a dozen minutes may have passed outside, which is equivalent to achieving twice the result with half the effort.

The same principle applies to scientific research—in fact, its role has diminished considerably. In the wasteland, defeating high-level monsters yields blueprints for various high-level items. The technological level of these blueprints completely surpasses current human technology.

“So people in the wasteland often say that the cataclysm hundreds of years ago was not just a disaster, but also an unprecedented opportunity,” Albert said quietly. “But I think it would be better if this cataclysm never happened.”

The four people from Liye nodded slowly, their expressions complex.

On this point, everyone has their own opinion.

At this moment, Li Ye had a completely new idea in his mind.

Thanks to Albert's suggestion, perhaps Tomorrow can launch a resident learning program.

By inputting various educational books into the city simulation training cabin, residents can enter to read and learn, thereby improving their personal knowledge and literacy.

Anyway, it doesn't cost much.

Soon, the helicopter took off from the city construction site and headed towards the center of the giant island.

Along the way, Li Ye witnessed the bustling construction of the transportation network.

Humans planned to build a transportation network across the entire island, which was a piece of cake thanks to their ability to create mobile cities.

Li Ye unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

That was none other than the Dreamship that we had seen in the wasteland before.

At this moment, this floating city is quietly anchored on the ground.

"I wonder how Mr. Claude is doing now?" he wondered to himself.

Not only that, a few minutes later, he saw an old acquaintance.

That was none other than Lei Jian's Conqueror.

Li Ye immediately looked at Albert and asked him to have the helicopter parked on the deck of the Conqueror.

When Lei Jian on the deck saw an unfamiliar helicopter signaling and requesting to land, he was a little confused. But when he saw Li Ye smiling and waving at him from inside the cabin, he immediately understood and excitedly waved back.

Upon landing, the two, who had been separated for a long time, embraced.

Just like before in the wasteland, Lei Jian was still dressed in the same familiar attire.

He wore a white tank top and sunglasses, with a goblin travel water bottle clipped to his waist.

"Are you also here to live on Home Island?" Lei Jian asked.

Li Ye shook his head.

"No, we will continue to move forward in the wasteland."

Upon learning that Tomorrow had been upgraded to Level 4, Lei Jian was so surprised that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Your development speed is outrageous!"

Lei Jian also mentioned two things to Li Ye.

First, the lord of the Vanguard is also on Home Island.

However, this is only a temporary stop. In the future, he will participate in the wasteland projects of the three major human organizations, equipping all the mobile cities in his alliance with Level 3 configurations, so that he can continue to wander and survive in the wasteland.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

This certainly sounds like the style of the Vanguard Lord.

"By the way, what's his name again?" he asked.

"Bai Fenghua".

As for the second thing, it is...
"I'm going to donate my Conqueror," Lei Jian said with a smile.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment.

As the lord of the mobile city, he naturally understood the significance of this action.

Mobile cities are not only homes for survival, but also family and companions that have accompanied them for many years, and lords often have deep feelings for them.

Lei Jian also seemed reluctant when he first made the decision.

But he also knew in his heart that he and his people would eventually settle in the city on Home Island.

Instead, it would be better to donate the Conqueror to a world-class organization, allowing them to assign a new lord to deploy a Tier 3 configuration, so it can continue to roam and survive in the wasteland, shining brightly.

At this point, Lei Jian turned to look at the Conqueror in front of him.

"Old friend, I hope you will meet a lord who will cherish you in the future."

Li Ye placed his hand on his shoulder and patted it gently.

After chatting for a few minutes, they parted ways.

As Lei Jian left by helicopter, he waved vigorously at him.

"Keep going!" he shouted.

Li Ye, who was in the cabin, also waved to him, looking slightly melancholy.

"If Li Jin were here too, that would be so wonderful."

To this day, he still remembers how excited Li Jin hugged him and Lei Jian when the three of them parted.

As you journey along, the number of companions will inevitably decrease.

"So where are we going next, Bishop Albert?" Zhou Xing asked.

“Go and meet with the island’s higher-ups,” Albert replied. “Your lord wants to know about the elemental planes and the inner world, right? I’ll just temporarily act as the coordinator.”

Li Ye nodded.

An hour later, the group arrived at their destination.

What appeared before them was a magnificent building.

“This was also built using a Level 4 engineer-type city,” Albert said casually. “It’s already fully operational.”

The helicopter then landed on the helipad at the top of the building.

The staff member who was there to meet Albert nodded in greeting and then opened the stairwell door on the rooftop.

As everyone entered the stairwell, Albert realized something and reached out to stop them.

"The high-ranking officials you're meeting this time are no ordinary people. Before you meet them, you'd better make sure you look presentable and presentable, so as not to appear too impolite."

The four people left the field and nodded in agreement.

As he adjusted his appearance, a few doubts arose in his mind.

"What kind of important person could make Bishop Albert so cautious?"

He will soon get the answer.
