Mobile City Travel Guide
Chapter 49 What's the situation now?
As they walked, Gao Nan told Li Xin with a hint of apology that although they had reunited, Tianyou K4 could no longer provide supplies to Xinghuo.
The reason is simple: all the mobile cities accompanying them were in dire straits. Some lacked fuel, some lacked food and fresh water, and some lacked daily necessities and emergency medicines. The Tianyou K4 itself also had people to support, so supplies quickly became insufficient.
Li Xin quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, as the Xinghuo was currently doing alright.
Nevertheless, Gao Nan still gave him an unexpected and generous gift.
A complete set of vegetable, grain, and fruit seeds. From wheat, upland rice, and barley to corn, soybeans, and sorghum, to tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, and a range of fruits such as apples, pears, citrus fruits, and lemons, everything is available.
Li Xin immediately accepted it with great joy, as it was far more substantial than the supplies in the supply crate!
But he soon encountered a problem.
The seeds are in hand, but how do you plant them? Spatial planning, irrigation water, suitable temperature, crop habits, planting tips... all of these need to be carefully considered.
Gao Nan clearly guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but shrug.
"We have as many seeds as we need; I sent a copy to every mobile city we visited," he said. "Everyone is also worried about how to plant them."
During the exchange, Tianyou K4 accelerated again. The mobile cities surrounding it, like stars around the moon, also sped up.
"Even though it's not safe here, is there any need to rush?" Li Xin asked doubtfully.
Gao Nan's answer was very concise.
"Because there are more than a dozen Federation fleets chasing us."
"what?"
Human civilization is currently at war with the spacefaring civilization.
The area where they were currently located was the center of the Federation, and it was only a little over a thousand kilometers away from the capital of the Sky Travelers.
The massive Sky Travel K4 fleet has been designated a highly dangerous target by the Federation.
After learning this information from Gao Nan, Li Xin fell silent.
Unexpectedly, while I was still leisurely traveling, human civilization and the space travel civilization had actually gone to war. However, given the Federation's previously unfriendly attitude, their choice to initiate the war was not entirely unexpected.
"With the level of human civilization, we should be able to handle it," he thought to himself.
Then, he couldn't help but rub his forehead in exasperation—the Starfire's ability to obtain real-time intelligence was terrible! In addition, without navigation, it basically wandered around like a headless fly every time it arrived in a new world.
"It seems we need to put the satellite project on the development agenda as soon as possible," he thought to himself.
Upon thinking of satellites, Li Xin immediately looked at Gao Nan again.
"By the way, your Ark organization has already launched a satellite, right? Could you use it to guide us and plan a safe evacuation route?"
To his surprise, Gao Nan's face showed a strange expression.
"Launching satellites upon arrival in the new world has long been standard practice for the Ark," he said, looking up at the sea of clouds above. "But I was told by my superiors that several satellites launched by the organization this time have lost contact."
Li Xin listened with a sense of confusion.
"Is that so?"
Li Xin gradually began to believe Gao Nan's statement that "we are currently in the center of the Federation."
As they continued their journey, they encountered more and more aerial tourists and towns.
Moreover, upon leaving the city, we also saw a magnificent federal district.
It was a series of hundreds of floating island towns that passed by. It consisted of hundreds of floating island towns that were connected to each other by thick iron frames and steel cables. From a distance, it looked like a suspended iron frame continent.
Numerous walkways and railways connect the floating islands, allowing all sorts of aerial tourists to travel among them.
Then he saw an even more outrageous sight.
There are more than a dozen islands that are moving. Their structure is similar to that of mobile provinces. They have all undergone semi-mechanization and are equipped with giant boilers and propellers.
They are probably "transport islands" because the islands are laid out flat and are filled with piles of containers, timber, ore, fuel barrels and all kinds of goods, as well as various hoisting equipment.
"The Sky Travelers have very advanced technology for modifying islands. They can do more than just the transport type you see here; they can also modify engineering, combat, fortress, and so on," Gao Nan explained to him on the city radio.
About ten minutes later, Li Xin witnessed another incredibly shocking scene.
Ahead, dozens of mobile provinces were passing by in a grand procession. They formed a vast line stretching for tens of kilometers, with the steam columns spewing from the giant boilers on the islands intertwining and merging to create a white mist in the sky.
As he looked around, he took a deep breath and rubbed his face vigorously—his mobile cities were practically "parading around in the city"!
At this moment, the Sky Travelers were all dumbfounded. They could not imagine or understand why such a group of mobile cities would suddenly appear in the Federation Center where they lived.
Unfortunately, the dozen or so Federation fleets caught up at that moment.
Not only that, several more Federation fleets surged forward, presumably having received the news and rushed here urgently. One after another, steam warships accelerated from different directions, pressing in from the front, rear, and flanks, like a giant net tightening from all sides.
Li Xin also witnessed firsthand the "battle island" that Gao Nan had described. It was a mobile island armed to the teeth, its outer walls covered with thick armor plates, and rows of rivets were densely arranged on both sides of the welds, like rows of clenched teeth. The island was equipped with numerous cannons and machine guns of exaggerated calibers, as well as rows of missile racks.
What surprised him even more was that the Skywalkers actually had an aircraft carrier—a thing even larger than a modern aircraft carrier, almost the size of an island. Its hull was wide and flat, with an endless deck covered with countless steam-powered aircraft of all types.
As the ground crew gave the order, the steam fighters took off one after another from the deck like a swarm of bees, quickly forming up in the air and coming on strong!
"Good heavens! We were just passing by! Why are these aerial tourists making such a fuss!" a lord exclaimed, his voice trembling with obvious confusion.
"If it were us, we'd go crazy too if a dozen or so strange ships of unknown origin appeared in the capital of our civilization!" someone replied through gritted teeth.
To make communication easier, everyone had already logged into the same channel on the city radio station.
Gao Nan then spoke in a deep voice.
"Let's give it our all, everyone!"
