Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 390 Genetic Engineering, Immortal Armies, and Ethics (4K)

"He saw us," Li Ye thought to himself.

After a moment's thought, he had Novi send a message.

"Who are you."

The giant hand fell silent, clearly having received the message.

The previously noisy living planets have now quieted down and gathered around this spot.

The two sides were thus locked in a stalemate.

Time seemed to pass very, very slowly.

Li Ye never looked away, his eyes fixed on the giant hand before him.

What is this thing?
A civilization of alien beasts? A highly intelligent civilization? Or perhaps a superior life form like the anglers? Or maybe gods?

At that moment, a series of questions arose in his mind.

There is no doubt that the giant hand is extremely dangerous.

After a long while, the giant hand finally responded.

It moved.

Li Ye snapped back to his senses and immediately roared.

"Novi! Let's run!"

The next second, Tomorrow instantly entered light-speed travel mode and began to escape this area.

Just as Li Ye was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Novi suddenly spoke.

"Master, it's catching up."

".What?"

Looking back, Li Ye discovered that the giant hand had somehow become a close follower of Tomorrow.

His expression changed instantly.

I never expected this thing could travel at the speed of light!
If it catches me, I don't know what the consequences will be.

For a time, the two sides were engaged in a fierce chase.

From God's perspective, both sides remain relatively stationary—this is because both sides move at the same speed.

The giant hand would occasionally lunge forward, trying to grab Tomorrow.

The gap between Tomorrow and it is like a speck of dust in the palm of your hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Tomorrow finally escaped the giant hand's pursuit and was able to escape to safety.

Li Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

From the moment he spoke until now, his heart had been pounding.

After all, no one would have expected to run into something like this.

After confirming safety, Li Ye released the mobile city and space force that had been contained in the microcosm. Since they had been in the microcosm since their departure, no one knew what was going on.

Half an hour later, Li Ye and Lin Xia had dinner together.

Today, Li Ye no longer needs to go to the private rooms in the public dining hall. He has now expanded his own house and renovated it thoroughly.

The kitchen in the house was extremely clean and tidy, and the space was very spacious.

Since confirming their relationship, the two have been in a stable relationship.

However, they rarely get together these days.

After all, they were both too busy.

One is the leader of the Tomorrow Alliance, and the other is the core management team of the city's neighborhood committee, overseeing more than ten million people.

Upon closer reflection, Li Ye realized that he was never truly idle.

"Are there any major plans that the urban neighborhood committee is currently preparing?" he asked casually.

Lin Xia took a bite of food and blinked.

Yes, there are.

Population planning.

The plan involves developing technology to modify human genes, enhance physical fitness and combat effectiveness, improve intelligence and thinking ability, extend lifespan, and provide immunity to the vast majority of diseases.

After a moment of slight surprise, Li Ye slowly nodded.

This plan is indeed feasible.

虽然说目前明日联盟的基因科技等于0，但有了7级图纸研发中心和7级城市模拟训练舱，这从“0”到“1”的过程其实是很快的。

If everyone in the Tomorrow Alliance could reach the physique of Superman, it would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap.

While he was pondering, he suddenly noticed Lin Xia frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xia spoke.

"Lin Wu put forward a bold idea that startled us all, and the vast majority of people expressed their opposition."

Li Ye immediately became interested.

"You might as well tell me."

In reality, the Tomorrow Alliance is already considered a small civilization.

However, the total population of the alliance is far too small.

However, humans are not like crops that can grow in just one or two days.

It takes two to three decades from birth to becoming a mentally mature adult.

The Alliance of Tomorrow will undoubtedly need a massive population to expand across the galaxy in the future.

Based on its development speed, it will only take a few years at most.

After explaining this premise to everyone, Lin Wu explained his plan.

Using technology to modify human genes to accelerate the growth of newborns.

Children born to residents whose genes have been modified will grow into adults within three years. As for their mental development and the knowledge they need to learn, they will develop through entering a level 7 city simulation training pod.

After listening, Li Ye's feelings became extremely complicated.

From the perspective of the alliance leader, Lin Wu's idea is correct. If the Tomorrow Alliance were to expand throughout the galaxy in the future, even a population of tens of billions would not be enough. Once the gene project is successfully implemented, the population of the Tomorrow Alliance will experience explosive growth.

From a personal perspective, he found it completely unacceptable. After all, humans are not animals and cannot be forced to grow in such a way. This seriously violates civilization and morality.

Lin Xia looked at Li Ye, her eyes filled with worry.

Ultimately, everything must be decided by Li Ye, who is the leader.

After a moment's thought, Li Ye took a deep breath.

“Gene technology can be developed, but population expansion should be put on hold for now,” he said.

Undoubtedly, advanced civilizations in space possess identical genes and population plans, and their systems may even be fully developed.

But for Tomorrow Alliance, which has just stepped into space, all of this is still too early.

After finishing his meal, Li Ye thought for a moment and then convened the War Committee again.

This time, the discussion focused on expanding the military.

Li Ye simply explained the number of troops that the Tomorrow Alliance would expand in the future.

Three space fleets.

Five mobile urban combat clusters, equipped with super mobile suit formations and mobile armor (MA). Three space combat stars.

One land combat group.

One naval combat group.

A fully equipped Level 7 special forces unit.

Upon learning of their lord's thoughts, the members of the War Council couldn't help but gasp.

This scale is absolutely outrageous!

But for Liye, this is only the first stage of military expansion.

If the goal is to expand and control the entire galaxy, the number of troops would undoubtedly be astronomical.

"In that case, why don't we use Level 7 city AI, or directly develop intelligent robot-driven vehicles for combat?" someone suggested. "This way, the casualty rate can be greatly reduced."

Li Ye gently shook his head.

This method is indeed efficient and feasible. But ultimately, AI and robots can never replace humans.

Take the super mobile suit as an example; these vehicles really demand a high level of skill and combat ability from the pilot.

"Vehicles like space battleships can be controlled by AI and have robotic crews. But super mobile suits and mobile armor must be piloted," Li Ye concluded.

The members of the War Committee also made a suggestion.

Tomorrow, the Alliance forces will need to establish an officer ranking system.

After all, the Tomorrow Alliance has grown to tens of thousands of combat personnel. With this latest expansion, that number will exceed one hundred thousand.

The military is the country that most needs to establish a hierarchical system.

“Alright, then let’s establish a system of generals and colonels. You’ll be in charge of the specifics.” Li Ye nodded. “After you’ve drafted the plan, submit it to me for review. It will be officially implemented only after I’ve signed off on it.”

In addition, he proposed a plan.

The Tomorrow Alliance is about to launch a gene technology research and development project, one of which involves collecting human components to create a physical body that is almost identical to the original.

Through the Level 7 city simulation training pod, one's consciousness can be transferred into a new physical body.

This means that once combat troops are killed in action, their consciousness can enter the Level 7 urban simulation training pod of the Tomorrow ship via the network, and then enter a new body through that pod, achieving "rebirth." In a sense, as long as resources are sufficient, combat personnel in the military are immortal.

After Li Ye finished explaining his thoughts, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"My lord, your idea is far too advanced!"

"Can consciousness fully enter the new body? Is our current technology stable? What if there's a mishap?"

Is it possible for our consciousness to be copied and installed in a new body, thus creating a second me?

Looking at the people in front of him, Li Ye's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly in his heart.

The technological development of mobile cities is advancing rapidly, but human cognition can hardly keep up.

In fact, he himself had many concerns.

"Entering space means we've entered a completely new phase," he said. "We must learn and grow. Otherwise, our civilization will be rapidly rendered obsolete."

After a while, Li Ye began to tour the Tomorrow.

As I strolled and explored the area, I was filled with emotion as I looked around.

In the beginning, Tomorrow was just a small level 1 city, struggling on the edge of survival every day, worrying about resources and energy.

Now, it has clearly developed into an asteroid.

The 384 floors were planned in an orderly manner, and more than ten million people live there.

During this period, the urban neighborhood committees underwent several rounds of personnel expansion, and completely grew into a huge official institution.

Thanks to the efforts of the management team, many small cities have been established, and even a series of supporting public facilities and tourist attractions have been built.

The logistics system for hydropower and electricity networks has been improved, and the cold chain supply system for fruits, vegetables, and meat has been established.

The people on the Tomorrow have entered a life far surpassing the technological level of the humans on Planet Weilan.

Thanks to abundant resources and ample living space, everyone's living standards have improved significantly.

Survival needs are no longer the primary concern; instead, they have been replaced by the needs for living.

Li Ye piloted the Lark aircraft, slowly navigating through the many floors.

At this moment, the streets of the small city are extremely lively, with all kinds of vehicles coming and going.

On the road, most residents did not recognize Li Ye and thought he was just a passerby.

After all, Rino is usually very busy and rarely shows his face, and the population of the Tomorrow is actually recruited from outside.

Everyone had only heard of their lord by name, but had never seen him in person.

Most people assume that Li Ye is a mature and steady middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Rumors even circulated in the city that Li Ye had a large number of wives and concubines.

But if everyone knew that Li Ye was just a young man in his twenties and was dating in a proper manner, they would undoubtedly be very surprised.

Along the way, Li Ye also met with his old team members from when he first started out.

Old Zhou was leading a team of law enforcement officers on patrol. Since retiring from the front lines, he had been diligently managing the public security bureau and maintaining order in the city.

Ning Wen and his girlfriend took a walk hand in hand. Now he has become a core member of the War Committee and no longer needs to operate cannons during city battles. Instead, he sits in an office. He always misses the days when Tomorrow was at level 1 or 2.

Tang Fang took the Skylark flying vehicle to the city simulation training cabin, intending to relive his past level 1 city battles.

Lin Wu took his friend's younger sister, Xiao Yao, to the supermarket to buy daily necessities. The two chatted and laughed along the way.

Li Ye exchanged a few brief pleasantries with them before continuing on his way.

Just then, Novi's image suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Master, I have received a message from the official authorities of the Dagon system.”

Seeing that Li Ye nodded, she then showed him the contents.

[Issuing Authority: Supreme Council of the Dagon System]

[Authentication Code: Omega-9-Pea-「]

【发送时间：达贡星系标准时间第十三星历5123年7月15日3点13分22秒】

Encryption Level: None

[To all civilizations in the Kolombian system, and to all refugees who have arrived in the Kolombian system]

For various reasons, we have decided to transform this desolate star system into our new home.

[The star system has been planned in advance. The next step is interstellar construction.]

The first and foremost task is naturally to construct a series of interstellar transportation networks, including interstellar orbits, light-speed orbits, and stargates. To this end, we currently need to recruit a number of high-level civilizations to participate in this construction.

The interstellar transportation project will be carried out through a responsibility-based contracting system. Specific details and compensation will be discussed in person with our staff.

After carefully reading the contents, a strange light appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

Is the official government of the Dagon Galaxy planning a large-scale construction project in this wild galaxy?
If the Dagon system is completely lost in the future, this system may very well become the new home of the refugee civilizations.

In addition, what he was most concerned about was the attitude of the native civilization of the Cologne system.

From their perspective, it's utterly unreasonable for an alien civilization to seize an entire galaxy and begin construction without a word.

However, their technological and cognitive levels are far too backward.

While the Dagon system's space fleet was constructing interstellar orbits in a grand procession, the inhabitants of these native civilizations were still riding steam trains billowing smoke—some were even still in a primitive stage.

“Perhaps, as an uncivilized and primitive star system, it is not protected by the laws of interstellar space,” Novi explained.
