Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 318 Infrastructure Projects in a Mobile City (4K)

At this moment, Li Ye was plunged into an unprecedented state of mental tremor.

He realized that the owner of those eyes was clearly the powerful cosmic being who had banished the god Thorne.

It is even possible that Dagon, the Weaver, and the Lord of the Bones were also banished by Him.

This powerful being was originally thousands of miles away, but after sensing the restless god Thorne, it decided to appear and warn him.

The way the warning was delivered was equally magnificent.

By arranging galaxies to form eyes, he intimidated the prisoner he had banished.

After a long while, Li Ye finally came to his senses.

Amidst his感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Although the human forces on Weilan Star are powerful, they are still too insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe.

Although the capital was destroyed and the god Thorne returned to his prison, the planet Amat did not return to peace.

With the capital destroyed and most of the forces that worshipped the god Thorne uprooted, the resistance forces within the Nahash civilization seized the opportunity to take action.

Emperor Nahash, who escaped, established a temporary exiled government and rallied loyal troops to wage war.

This alien civilization was thus plunged into a fierce civil war.

This time, the vast majority of Nahash people chose to stand on the side of the resistance forces.

Because they witnessed the God Thorne and the miracles in the starry sky, they gradually came to understand the truth.

The Nahash civilization will continue to suffer bloodshed and casualties due to civil war.

Although we have survived the supernatural modifications, it will still be a long time before we achieve true peace and development.

However, this is no longer any of Tomorrow's Alliance's business.

Li Ye didn't rush to leave, but continued to mine oil and natural gas on Amat Star, while also hunting the remaining monsters and mutated creatures.

As for the civil war within the Nahash civilization, he had absolutely no interest in participating, let alone interfering.

A week later, the Tomorrow Alliance activated the recall device and returned to their home island on Weilan Star.

As usual, the staff stationed at the planetary teleportation device asked Li Ye about what he had seen and heard on this trip.

Li Ye then gave a brief account of it.

The staff listened with amazement.

"I never imagined that the situation on this desert planet would be so complex. The Nahash civilization is actually on par with ours," one staff member remarked. "For a long time, many people thought that Planet Weilan was the only planet in the solar system with civilization."

Li Ye nodded slightly.

He actually thought so too, but his trips to Serandis and Amat were a great shock to him.

After the exchange, he boarded a Black Hawk helicopter and hurriedly flew towards the center of Home Island.

As usual, Li Ye still needed to meet with Cardinal Anthony to report on his duties.

On the way, he casually opened the system panel and took a look.

[4 days, 12 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the next intelligence update]

[Number of intelligence reports: 8]

This time, with a total refresh period of 10 days, the intelligence value is naturally very high, and there must be some legendary intelligence as well.

As usual, in the days before the intelligence is updated, the Tomorrow Alliance will take a short break, and then decide on its next move based on the updated intelligence.

After listening to Li Ye's account of his experiences on Planet Amat, Anthony took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with the results of Tomorrow Alliance's trip.

For humanity, the most important thing is undoubtedly to understand the situation of the target planet, the combat strength of the local civilization, and whether it is suitable for colonization.

“However, given the situation on Amat, colonization is probably out of the question.” Anthony shook his head slightly.

As he nodded, Li Ye suddenly remembered something and then spoke.

"Lord Anthony, I have always been very interested in something."

Anthony waved.

"It doesn't hurt to just say it."

Li Ye immediately raised the question that interested him the most.

"To what extent have the three major human organizations mastered the technology of space travel? Have they mastered technologies such as warp drive, light speed travel, and space jump?"

These three items are considered standard equipment for mobile cities and space travel.

Light-speed travel, which means enabling a moving city to travel at or above the speed of light, is approximately 30 kilometers per second, or about 1.08 million kilometers per hour. At this speed, it would only take one second to circle Earth 7.5 times.

The "curved path leap" technique uses a curved spatial structure to allow the mobile city to move within a local spatial bubble. The core theory is to compress the space in front of the mobile city (shorten the distance) and expand the space behind it (extend the distance).

Spatial jump, or spatial folding, directly brings two points into contact, achieving a "spatial leap." The theory is that it involves forcibly bending space through an ultra-high energy field to create a temporary passage.

"Regarding the three city component production projects you mentioned, unfortunately, none of the three major human organizations have them," Anthony replied.

"Is that so?" Li Ye fell into deep thought.

Technologies like light-speed flight, warp drive, and space jump would probably be considered level 7 technology.

It seems that there aren't as many level 7 monsters and level 7 mutated creatures on Weilan Star as one might imagine.

With all sorts of design blueprints emerging one after another, the chance of getting these three items from level 7 monsters and level 7 mutated creatures is like finding a needle in a haystack.

“Now that we have acquired these three technologies, humanity doesn’t necessarily have to venture into space,” Anthony added.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

He had actually anticipated this, because there are too many unknowns in deep space.

With humanity's current fighting strength, it can still hold a place on Weilan Star, or rather, in the solar system.

For a civilization, survival and development are the main themes, while exploring the unknown is secondary.

The discussion about the universe has now come to an end.

In the following period, the two sides began to discuss trade issues.

The Alliance of Tomorrow did not come away empty-handed on Amat.

The Tomorrow Alliance extracted a large quantity of oil and natural gas via the Engineer.

As is customary, Li Ye will naturally do some shopping upon returning to his home island.

“Just tell me what level 5 blueprints you want,” Anthony replied. “The official shop of the Cult of Apocalypse has plenty in stock. If that’s not enough, we can get some from the Iron Brotherhood and the Titan Throne.”

"Let me think about it carefully."

Although it was said to be legendary resource intelligence, the Tomorrow Alliance did not mine it all at once.

The main reason is that this time we are on an alien planet, and relying solely on the Engineer, a mobile city, is not very efficient.

According to statistics, the oil and natural gas extracted this time is only worth two to three million crystal coins.

After some deliberation, Li Ye finally decided which level 5 blueprints he wanted to purchase.

Design drawings for a Level 5 super composite satellite.

Tier 5 Energy Shield Device Upgrade. Tier 5 Mobile Suit Upgrade Blueprint.

Upgrade blueprints for a Tier 5 urban signal jamming device.

Upgrade blueprints for Tier 5 urban camouflage device.

In reality, Tomorrow's Alliance needs far more than these, but these five are currently the things it needs most.

By the time the talks ended and Li Ye returned to the Tomorrow, the Apocalypse Church had already delivered the five sets of blueprints.

After completing the transaction, Li Ye went to the production workshop and entered the five design drawings.

This time, the city camouflage, energy shield devices, and signal jamming devices were all upgraded from level 3 to level 5, greatly enhancing their functionality. The survival and security of the Tomorrow Alliance were thus further improved.

After a mobile suit is upgraded to level 5, its combat power can be further enhanced. In addition to super mobile suits, Li Ye also plans to create combat formations of ordinary mobile suits.

As for super-composite satellites, they can provide many special capabilities such as navigation, observation, communication, military security, and ground attack.

After finishing his work in the production workshop, Lin Wu brought people from the city's neighborhood committee to him.

They were holding a stack of documents, probably for some new project in the city that required Li Ye's signature and approval.

“As I said before, if it’s just a regular project, you can make your own decision,” Li Ye said.

Lin Wu shook his head.

"But this time it's not an ordinary project."

"is it?"

Li Ye took the document with a puzzled look and glanced at it.

This time, the construction project was discovered to be a crop planting plain and grassland pasture.

After rubbing his eyes, he realized he hadn't misread it.

However, looking back, Tomorrow is now a Level 5 mobile city, measuring 10125 meters long and 6480 meters wide, with an area equivalent to 65.61 square kilometers (under ideal conditions).
This is equivalent to the area of ​​9189 standard football fields.

It currently has a total of 96 floors.

As the floor area of ​​Tomorrow increases and the population continues to grow, the demand for vegetables, meat, and eggs is also gradually increasing.

Thanks to the long-term and meticulous management of the city's neighborhood committee, the cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish on Tomorrow have been bred to a considerable scale.

But the city neighborhood committee wanted to go a step further and transform the entire floor into a plain/grassland pasture for growing high-grade crops, and to promote mechanized harvesting.

Li Ye glanced at the report and found that the neighborhood committee had made all the necessary preparations, so he nodded.

"Then let's get started."

After obtaining approval to leave the area and allocating sufficient resources, the city's neighborhood committee selected an empty floor and began construction on the plain.

Construction projects of this scale naturally require the assistance of personnel and engineering vehicles from the Engineers.

The first thing to do is to lay soil in the floor.

The soil was naturally taken from the home island.

Regarding soil texture modification, the Tomorrow Alliance has acquired the blueprints for the Interstellar Soil Modification Vehicle. This engineering vehicle can modify the soil into a type suitable for crop growth, which is very convenient.

Before laying the soil, it is also necessary to do a good job of waterproofing and root protection to avoid damage to the building structure.

Therefore, it is necessary to lay impermeable membranes and root isolation layers on the floors. Before preparing this plan, the city neighborhood committee had already compiled a list of the floors to be built and handed it over to the Ministry of Trade to purchase from the three major human organizations.

It's not just about laying the soil; the load-bearing capacity of each floor also needs to be considered.

After all, it's not just about laying soil; there are also important additional components such as irrigation systems, lighting equipment, and machinery.

This requires adding multiple load-bearing columns below the floor, that is, on the floor below.

With the soil laid out, the next step is to install the lighting system.

The neighborhood committee chose a mid-floor unit, which receives less sunlight. Therefore, they decided to use LED plant lights, evenly suspended from the ceiling, along with reflectors to improve lighting efficiency.

The floors will also be connected to the internet, and the city's AI, Novi, will be responsible for overall management.

Irrigation followed immediately.

Because it is an artificial plain in a mobile city, the roots of crops cannot penetrate underground to draw groundwater resources, so irrigation is the only option.

To address this, the neighborhood committee installed drip irrigation and micro-sprinkler systems on the rooftops of the buildings to supply water on a timed and quantitative basis, thus avoiding waste.

Finally, there is the arrangement of the temperature control system and mechanized harvesting equipment.

Only after this step is completed is the task finished.

The subsequent construction of grassland ranches followed the same pattern.

Lin Wu also told Li Ye something else.

The neighborhood committee originally planned to turn the entire floor into a lake.

On the one hand, it is to expand the scale of aquaculture, and on the other hand, it is to develop the lake into a tourist attraction so that the residents of Tomorrow can enjoy it.

The project was constrained by a key factor: insufficient building height.

The Tomorrow is currently 960 meters long in total, and it has 96 floors, which averages out to 10 meters per floor.

However, if a lake were to be built, it would require a building height of at least hundreds of meters to store water, which would be far too extravagant.

“That’s right.” Li Ye nodded gently.

The development of the small city within the building was also severely restricted.

In the following days, the pace of Tomorrow Alliance slowed down considerably.

But soon, a new round of intelligence was updated.

[1. The next week will be sunny (Information Value: Average)]

2. In the inner world, the three major monster organizations extended an invitation to the Fire Demon Civilization to join their ranks. However, the Fire Demon Civilization refused outright and expelled the monster envoy. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

[3. In the Otherworld, the wasteland god "Mivi" has meticulously crafted his own paradise. This wasteland god eagerly awaits the arrival of visitors. (Information Value: Rare)]

4. A space fleet from a distant galaxy will visit the solar system via space jump. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

5. As of now, the monster faction has established 103 level 1-3 monster civilizations in the Western Wilderness, and more are being added. (Intelligence Value: Excellent)

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

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

8. Refreshing... (Intelligence Value: Legendary)

Li Ye quickly finished reading all the content.

"Anthony was right after all; the Fire Demon civilization is not necessarily subservient to the monsters," he thought to himself.

With its own characteristics and the unique geographical advantages of the Yan Hai, this level 5 monster civilization clearly has the confidence to say "no".

Immediately afterwards, Li Ye looked at the third piece of information.

Unexpectedly, Miwei was in the Otherworld.

Recalling the wasteland god's consistent style, Li Ye felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing the word "paradise."

That's definitely not a good place.
