Mobile City Travel Guide

As a new iron ingot was added and a button was pressed, the production workshop started up with a roar. Various machines on the assembly line operated in a regular and rhythmic manner, and soon produced a pile of smooth and shiny bowls.

He casually picked up a bowl, tapped it lightly to check its quality, then returned to his original spot and gestured to his companions to distribute it.

Pots and pans, beds, chairs, tables, cabinets, clothes, bedding... all the living supplies for these two hundred-plus people are supplied by the production workshop. Fortunately, it was upgraded before leaving the factory, and now it operates simply and efficiently. If it were still the old configuration, it would probably be in complete chaos long ago.

Currently, the main production resources stored on the Xinghuo ship are iron ingots, leather, and cotton. These supplies are more than enough to support the original 20 or so ships, but far from sufficient to supply the more than 200 people.

In particular, in recent days, a lot of iron ingots have been consumed in order to replenish ammunition and manufacture firearms and even urban machine guns.

Li Xin waved helplessly.

"Let's try to find some resources along the way."

Since breaking out of the battlefield, the journey ahead was much safer, so the Starfire slowed down and scavenged for supplies along the way. The off-road vehicles and motorcycles that Li Xin had acquired were also refueled and sent out to search for resources.

After driving for a while, he made a new discovery.

A can of food abandoned by the roadside.

As the crane lifted it onto the deck, Li Xin stepped forward to examine it. The can was dented and twisted badly, but not yet broken or leaking, and was about the size of an SUV.

Judging from the paint and patterns on the outer layer, it appears to be a military-grade canned meat product.

"This is... luncheon meat?" he asked hesitantly.

While living on Earth, he neither liked nor disliked this kind of food. But at this moment, he was willing to try what canned meat from the world of giants tasted like.

One of his colleagues started the robotic arm, found the right angle, and began to pry open the can lid.

With a soft click, the can was opened. Judging from the smell, it wasn't expired.

Li Xin took a small piece and tasted it, then frowned.

It had a starchy taste and contained very little meat.

However, he didn't seem to mind too much, since the size of the can was enough to feed quite a few people.

Not long after, one of the off-road vehicles that had been dispatched also made a discovery.

A tattered shirt. Because it was so large, the team that found it had to fold it up, tie it to the roof of the car, and then bring it back.

After being hoisted onto the deck by crane, Li Xin immediately ordered it to be cut into pieces of cloth so that it could be put into the production workshop to be made into clothing, towels and other daily necessities.

While passing through a field, he also found a lot of wild vegetables.

Their appearance was really not good; they were crooked and twisted, and their leaves had traces of insect damage.

Nobody paid much attention to the details. They simply used a crane to pull up one wild vegetable after another, cut and trimmed them, washed them, and then ate them.

Soon, he spotted another big one.

A bicycle lay overturned on the side of the road. It appeared to have been run over by something; the frame was crooked, and the wheels were deformed.

Li Xin's eyes lit up. Although this thing was badly damaged, it could yield a lot of resources—the frame and parts could be disassembled and smelted into iron ingots, the tires were made of rubber, and the anti-slip strips on the handlebars were made of cloth.

He waved his hand and ordered his mobile city to stop and begin dismantling and recycling.

What surprised Li Xin the most was that the people he sent out actually found a small bag of flour—it was a small bag, but from the giants' perspective, it looked as big as a small hill to them.

He opened the bag, grabbed a handful of flour, and rubbed it around in his hands. He nodded repeatedly. With flour, the Starfire could now supply flour-based foods, such as bread, noodles, steamed buns, or pancakes.

And so, by stopping and starting along the way, the Spark unexpectedly managed to find quite a lot of resources.

Looking at the various supplies piled up on the deck, Li Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; this should last for a while.

While he was busy working, he also took the time to inspect the potatoes planted in his own field.

After evolving, the potato's growth rate has increased significantly, and it has now sprouted lush young shoots.

Li Xin looked at the potato sprouts in front of him, then glanced at the canned luncheon meat and wild vegetables from before, and couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Now that our family has over two hundred people, we can't rely solely on scavenging for food and using potatoes as our staple. It's manageable for now, but in the long run, it will affect morale and the morale of our members.

He planned to evolve more crops in the future, and even find opportunities to raise cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks to create a stable food supply. Ideally, he hoped to establish a stable food production system.

"By the way, if there are too many crops and cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are raised, there won't be enough space in the city." He thought to himself, "Plus the increased population now... Hmm, I'm afraid the expansion of the Spark needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

After finishing his preparations, he called his companions and announced the decision that the Spark would be setting sail.

In fact, the Starfire was not far from the ocean. The giant nation it belonged to was itself located by the sea.

The Tianyou K4 had already planned the sea route for the Xinghuo via radar and sent it over.

The total distance is more than 1500 kilometers, which sounds a bit exaggerated, but if a mobile city travels day and night, it will only take two or three days at most.

"But my lord, if we are to set sail, we will need a series of sea navigation accessories," someone reminded us.

Li Xin waved his hand, indicating that these parts could naturally be processed and produced in the production workshop while they were on their way.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, was more direct.

"Why are we in such a hurry to go out to sea? Isn't it actually quite safe here?" he asked. "Besides, once we're at sea, it's not as easy to search for supplies as it is on land."

A look of melancholy appeared on Li Xinyan's face.

Going overseas has both advantages and disadvantages.

But things are different now. The Spark now has about two hundred more people on board, so it can no longer take the same risks as before.

On the other hand, he wasn't actually very optimistic about the negotiations between human civilization and the giant civilization. If they broke down and the giant civilization intensified its search efforts, the Starfire's situation on land would become even more difficult.

Therefore, it's better to play it safe this time.

After the meeting, he walked on the deck, lost in thought.

In the few days before heading to sea, I need to gather as many supplies as possible as possible, since Lu Chen is right, it will be difficult to find supplies at sea.

Correspondingly, the sea will be much safer, and you won't encounter many giants at all.

Occasionally, it would just be a giant's fishing boat, cargo ship, or cruise ship.

But that's a truly massive machine.
