Mobile City Travel Guide

After nearly exhausting the local resources, Li Xin ordered the Xinghuo to set sail again to rendezvous with the Tianyou O3.

The latter is a mobile city similar to Tianyou K4. When we arrived at Xin, we found that there were more than a dozen mobile cities surrounding it.

The lord of Tianyou O3 is a kind old lady in her sixties or seventies named Zhang Lan.

According to her, in the magical world, Skyroam O3 and these dozen or so mobile cities came from a medium-sized safe zone.

This safe zone was also in fierce fighting, and just as the horde of zombies was about to overwhelm them, God arrived with His vast army.

In a matter of moments, the overwhelming tide of corpses was wiped out.

Li Xin listened and nodded repeatedly.

"That kind of power is truly captivating... By the way, what are the chances of human civilization winning if it were to go to war with the gods?" he asked.

Zhang Lan was taken aback.

"If it's those human organizations, they can reach a level comparable to gods," she said. "There's even an organization that specifically houses gods and develops its own system around them; they're called the Pantheon, and they already have quite a few gods."

Li Xin was stunned.

An organization specifically for housing gods? And quite a few gods already?

He felt that human civilization was like a deep pool of water, and he couldn't see the bottom at all.

Led by Zhang Lan, he arrived at the data archive of Tianyou O3 and copied a huge amount of cultural resource data.

This includes more than 12,000 animation and film works, and 1 million books of various kinds.

"That's really good!" He couldn't help but nod slightly.

This will greatly enrich the spiritual lives of the residents of Xinghuo.

"You're one of the few lords who have asked us for this," Zhang Lan remarked. "You should know that most mobile cities usually only need food, fresh water, and fuel."

She also reminded Li Xin that the cultural resources on Tianyou O3 are only a small part at best, and to obtain the truly complete set, one must visit the Ark's flagship mobile city.

They support populations of tens of millions and are complete societies, producing countless cultural resources every year.

"Is that so?" Li Xin pondered.

He simply couldn't imagine what a city capable of supporting an entire civilization would look like.

Soon, he raised a question that he was particularly concerned about.

Generally speaking, each time they travel to a new world, they face all sorts of dangers and troubles, and may even perish.

Could mobile cities then travel to space after traversing through space, thus completely avoiding the trouble? Most importantly, could human civilization migrate into space, thereby escaping this curse of constant traversal?

Zhang Lan provided a complete and clear explanation.

First, this idea is indeed feasible. Throughout history, human civilization has used this method to escape many dangerous worlds. However, for a mobile city to take off, it would require a series of advanced aerospace components, and reaching space would be even more difficult.

Only world-class organizations possess these conditions, and there are only a handful of them.

Secondly, the method of escaping the curse by migrating into deep space is ineffective; human civilization has already tried it. No matter how far they go into space, once the countdown ends, they will immediately be transported to a new world.

"So... has human civilization figured out the truth behind this curse yet?" Li Xin asked.

Zhang Lan shook her head regretfully.

"Never."

She paused again as she spoke.

"However, there is a famous hypothesis circulating in our human civilization."

"What?" Li Xin asked, puzzled.

Throughout the long journey of human civilization across countless worlds, countless people have conducted research and discussions on this topic.

Various theories and hypotheses have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Everyone held their own opinions and argued incessantly.

One of them put forward his own opinion.

The journey of human civilization across the world will not be endless.

It must have an end point.

But no one could have guessed what the end would be like.

"The end point..." Li Xin murmured.

Upon closer examination, this hypothesis does make some sense.

If the journey of human civilization through time truly has an end, what would it be like?

But for me, all of this is still too far away.

"By the way," he said, glancing at Zhang Lan, his words slightly hesitant, "Could you perhaps allocate some of your men to Tianyou O3?"

This is Li Xin's true intention.

The Spark is becoming increasingly short-staffed.

With the vehicle program in full swing and the city having just undergone another expansion, the demand for population is experiencing explosive growth.

To his surprise, the Tianyou O3 really did meet his needs.

After a fierce battle with the zombie horde, many mobile cities in its safe zone were destroyed, and tens of thousands of survivors were displaced.

This number has far exceeded the carrying capacity of this mobile city, and in addition, it also has to rescue and support more than a dozen other mobile cities that are accompanying it, so supplies are already in short supply.

"How many people do you need?" Zhang Lan asked.

"Hmm... give me 1000 people first," Li Xin said.

Zhang Lan shook her head repeatedly.

"That's too few, how about 3000 people?"

Li Xin was immediately faced with a dilemma.

The food supply on the Xinghuo ship is not yet stable and complete. It is already difficult to feed 1000 more people, let alone 3000.

If internal management is flawed and problems arise, it will be even more troublesome.

On the other hand, the shortage of personnel on the Xinghuo ship is indeed a problem, as its future series of land, sea, and air combat vehicles will all require manpower. This is a perfect opportunity now; once it's gone, it won't come again.

"Alright," he nodded. "But the people should be mostly young and strong, and they should come from different mobile cities."

Zhang Lan readily agreed.

"You don't need to worry about food. I've already reported to the organization, and supplies are on their way," she said.

Back on the Starfire, Li Xin told everyone the news, and they were all stunned.

"3...3000 people?" Lu Chen was somewhat taken aback.

The others also looked on incredulously.

"I know everyone is under a lot of pressure, but as long as we can get through this, the development of Xinghuo will be able to make rapid progress in the future," Li Xin said. "Yunzhi will also assist us in arranging personnel deployment."

In the following days, everyone was extremely busy.

Assigning cabins, registering, entering files, distributing food and supplies... everyone was spinning like a top.

Fortunately, the Tianyou O3 also sent a management team to help, and the mobile city dispatched by the Ark also delivered supplies, all of which were emergency compressed biscuits and canned food. But Li Xin naturally had no complaints whatsoever; for him, he was just grateful that he could support these 3000 people.
