Mobile City Travel Guide

According to satellite observations, this new world does not have a native civilization.

Li Xin glanced at the time; this time, the stipulated stay was one month.

The environment was good, the stay was alright, and there was no native civilization... He found it hard to believe that he had truly come to a better world this time!

"So, this is a short off-season?" he muttered to himself.

Although the metaphor isn't quite accurate, it conveys roughly the same meaning.

Since its arrival in the magical world, the Starfire has been traveling a long and arduous journey, with the last few days being particularly thrilling and fraught with danger. Now it's time for it to take a proper rest.

Li Xin plans to take advantage of this rare period of peace and quiet to mine and store as many resources as possible in preparation for the next world.

As the Xinghuo satellite lowered its elevator platform, various vehicles scattered to collect different resources.

To increase the efficiency of mining veins and oil fields, Li Xin simply built three more oil extraction vehicle sets and eight Stardust mining vehicles. After all, this was a primitive world with hardly any threats; even a slightly larger dinosaur could be easily dealt with with just a machine gun.

This mobile city is like an octopus with outstretched tentacles, greedily seizing the resources of the new world. Its ever-increasing fleet of vehicles is constantly transporting oil, gas, and mineral veins back to it.

Although the number is large, it is still not enough compared to the ever-increasing development needs of the Xinghuo satellite.

After all, the vehicles it is now building have reached the level of tanks, fighter jets, and warships, which require a lot of metal and alloy resources, and also require a lot of fuel to drive them.

Li Xin waved and called Lu Chen over.

"Go ask everyone if anyone wants to learn magic."

The Starfire now possesses a magical environment similar to that of the magical world, and with a complete set of magic books and tools, it has fully laid the foundation for the systematic development of a magic system.

Li Xin's idea was clear: to form a special group in the city to learn, research, and apply magic, so as to provide assistance for the development and combat of the Starfire in the future.

This department is called the Ministry of Magic.

However, the Starfire still prioritizes technological development, with magic being just one branch, and more branches will emerge in the future. For example, psionic energy, cultivation, and advanced martial arts, but those are matters for the future.

After explaining all the details, Li Xin got busy with another important matter.

Urban expansion.

While at the border, the Starfire had stockpiled a large amount of metal resources through trade. Now that it had finally arrived in a peaceful world, it was the perfect opportunity to carry out a large-scale expansion.

This time, Li Xin plans to make his mobile city bigger. It will be expanded from the original "85 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 36 meters high" to "320 meters long, 110 meters wide, and 65 meters high".

After the expansion was completed, it had become a behemoth.

According to Yunzhi's estimates, the Starfire's population capacity has reached an astonishing 1 to 3. The space has increased 15 times compared to before.

But the cost is equally obvious.

Due to the significant increase in size, the Starfire's maneuverability and flexibility decreased dramatically, its turning radius became exaggeratedly large, and it became slow and cumbersome when moving.

This means that its reliance on land, sea and air combat forces has increased significantly, which is an inevitable path for all mobile city expansions.

At this point, they no longer relied on deck-mounted artillery and heavy machine guns for combat, but instead began to deploy tank formations, fighter jet groups, and warship fleets.

Li Xin summoned Lu Chen and several core companions and began allocating the expanded space.

"The top floor of the city will be used specifically for the airport," he said. "Yunzhi, help me create a holographic image and plan the various areas of the airport."

As soon as he finished speaking, a 3D model of the Xinghuo appeared before his eyes. The top deck was highlighted and then automatically divided into the runway area, apron, maintenance hangar, control tower, fuel and ammunition supply area, etc. The various functional modules were arranged in a well-organized manner with clear lines, like a meticulously drawn map.

Lu Chen, who was standing next to him, watched for a while, then turned his head and asked a very practical question.

"So, are you moving out?"

After all, as the lord, Li Xin always lived on the top floor, which was the place with the best view and the most natural light.

Li Xin was taken aback, then shook his head.

He wasn't really keen on moving, since he wanted to see firsthand the various fighter jets that would be built in the future.

The thought of those giant steel birds whizzing overhead is exhilarating.

"But fighter jets are very loud when they take off," Lu Chen reminded him.

Li Xin scratched his head.

"I see. Then I'll think about it some more."

Among the many compartments of the Starfire, the largest expansion is undoubtedly the vehicle storage, which has reached a level capable of accommodating warships. However, with the Starfire's current expanded length and width, it still struggles to fit an entire fleet inside.

"Let's leave this problem for the next expansion," Li Xin thought.

At this moment, the head of the agricultural group also spoke up.

"Lord, we need you to allocate at least 5000 square meters of land to expand our agricultural area so that we can grow more vegetables and fruits. In addition, the scale of our livestock, chickens and ducks, has also been expanding recently, and we will need more space to raise them in the future."

The warehouse manager followed closely behind.

"My lord, I need a large, dedicated cold storage warehouse specifically for storing food and fish."

"By the way, our city has grown more than tenfold in size, so we need to expand the number of gangways and walkways, as well as residential elevators and freight elevators," Lu Chen reminded.

With each new approval, he signed his name, one after another.

While signing his name, he couldn't help but think to himself that the Spark program was really growing in scale.

From a small town with just over twenty people, it has grown into a behemoth capable of supporting tens of thousands of people in just a few months.

However, each expansion comes with new demands and problems.

The bigger the city, the more things you have to do.

After finishing his work, he went up to the deck and picked up the binoculars.

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of dinosaurs.

Some were munching on bushes with their heads down, some were drinking water by the river, and others were lying on the ground lazily sunbathing.

He only recognized famous giants like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Mosasaurus, and couldn't name many other dinosaurs.

It's amazing! I actually saw a live dinosaur in the new world.

Amidst his reflections, he suddenly had an idea.

Could the Spark be used to raise dinosaurs for its own purposes? For example, could it use small, herbivorous dinosaurs that reproduce quickly to provide meat, large, docile dinosaurs to move heavy objects and tow equipment, or tamer aggressive dinosaurs like Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus Rex for combat?

Or perhaps... they evolved after successfully domesticating dinosaurs?
