The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 184 The Seed Problem

"Commander, do you want to open the Internet to the citizens of Black Flag City?"

Open Internet?

After thinking about it, Li Meng decided not to open it.

Although opening the Internet can allow the people of Black Flag City to integrate with the new human society.

However, the new humans and the humans of the original continent are two different types of people, and the world they live in is also different. There is no need to open the Internet. For the current citizens of Black Flag City, it is not the same to receive too much knowledge at once. A good thing.

Thinking of this, Li Meng said: "It is forbidden to open the Internet and block all electromagnetic wave signals from the outside world. Black Flag City needs time to develop and avoid all factors that may cause chaos."

Zhi Nao: "Understood, the prohibition regulations have been set up."

With a wave of his hand, Li Meng said: "Go..."

The blue light flashed, Zhinao disappeared, and silence returned to the practice room.

Looking at the iron ball not far away, Li Meng's face looked lost.

In the coming time, Black Flag City will go through a long period of stability...

"call……"

Li Meng took a deep breath, put aside the random thoughts in his heart, and closed his eyes.

The huge training room was silent, except for Li Meng sitting cross-legged on the futon alone, like a statue.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

It only took the citizens of Black Flag City more than half a month to go from being at a loss to adapting to the current environment and lifestyle.

Every morning, Black Flag City comes alive.

In order to earn credits, citizens leave their homes, learn skills, and work.

Trolleybuses run in the city, transporting passengers to various places.

Unknowingly, a good circular economic chain was gradually born in Black Flag City.

It's another new day, and in the training room, a soft, sweet voice is echoing in the vast space.

Qian Yuting, wearing a silver-gray blouse, hip-hugging skirt and workplace attire, sat on her knees on the ground and spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Over the past month and 37 days, a total of 141 citizens have passed the "intelligent brain" assessment and obtained technician licenses. They have now gone to various positions. Twenty "technicians" have been assigned to each of the cement plant and steel plant. Although the number of people was small, with the help of machinery, it was barely enough, and the output increased by 15%. Another fifty technicians rushed to the mouth of the canyon to be responsible for building the city wall, and the rest formed an exploration team, which had set off five days ago. , ten in total, and good news comes every day. In just five days, the exploration team has detected thirteen minerals. "

There is no shortage of minerals in the mountains, they are just difficult to explore.

Although the landmark sensor is a good thing, it can only explore the density of materials underground. It can distinguish soil and rocks, but its measurement rate of minerals is very low, less than 40%.

"The construction progress of the city wall is 80% complete, and it is expected to be completed in one month. Zhinao gave the council a design plan for the defense system. After discussion, the plan was approved."

The three-dimensional picture in Qian Yuting's hand jumped. Looking at the data on the page, Qian Yuting continued: "The length of the city wall is 1038 meters, and a 20 mm caliber thirteen-barreled Vulcan cannon is installed every fifty meters. , install a 400 mm twin coil gun every 100 meters, and install two 500 mm caliber magnetic accelerator cannons, for a total of 20 20 mm Vulcan cannons, 10 400 mm caliber twin coil guns, and two 500 mm mm caliber magnetic accelerator cannon, and a certain number of sentry forts are set up on the mountaintops on both sides of the canyon and on the mountaintops around the basin. Each sentry fort is armed with two 20mm Vulcan cannons. It is estimated that 108 sentry forts will need to be built. All the above weapon systems are controlled by "intelligent brains", and "mechanics" will be regularly arranged to inspect and maintain them. "

"The number of police officers has been expanded to 200. A total of 71 people have successfully passed the assessment and obtained police licenses. As security officers, a certain amount of force is indispensable. After discussion, the council plans to equip the police with non-lethal weapons "electric shock" "Gun", we have applied to Zhinao, the gun type has been determined, and it is expected to be equipped in a week."

"Under the advice of the mastermind, the garment factory and maintenance shop have been sited and are under preliminary construction. It is expected to take more than three months. The site of the farm has been determined. The first batch of seeds has been planted in the soil. The survival rate is 3%. Or so, according to Zhinao’s calculations, it will take at least five years to obtain enough seeds.”

Five years?

His eyelids moved slightly, and Li Meng, who was sitting quietly on the futon, opened his eyes.

The look on his face was thoughtful, and Li Meng fell into deep thought.

For large-scale planting, enough seeds are indispensable. The seeds from the Grand View Sanctuary are too few. If the survival rate is only 3%, Li Meng suspects that five years may not be enough.

After all, the growth cycle of crops is not short. Although there will be more and more seeds after each cycle, the demand is huge. It will take a long time to obtain enough seeds with the seeds in hand.

Turning to look at Qian Yuting who was sitting not far away on his right hand, Li Meng said, "What are your plans for the scarcity of seeds?"

Lowering her head slightly, Qian Yuting said: "The Board of Directors is discussing the possibility that there must be something similar to Black Flag City in other places. If we can start trade with it, we can get what we need. But right now, the Board of Directors Parliament thinks the risk is too great and is still debating it.”

Agriculture is very important. If we don't cultivate and find ways to increase food production, the little food transported from the food city will not last too long, and the food obtained from the food city is not clean.

Li Meng took his eyes off Qian Yuting and fell into deep thought.

Food is indeed a big problem and must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, Black Flag City will be no different from Qing'an Shelter.

"Huh..."

Li Meng took a deep breath and closed his eyes again.

Seeing that the master was silent for a long time, Qian Yuting raised her head and looked at the master carefully.

Seeing that the master closed his eyes again and sat quietly, Qian Yuting wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she still plucked up the courage and said carefully: "Master, I haven't served you for a long time..."

I don't know what's wrong with the master. Every time I see the master, the master will be here.

What's good here?

There is nothing, only a few iron balls, and I don't know what they are for.

Also, why does the master always like to sit here quietly with his eyes closed and take a nap?

There are many doubts in my heart, but Qian Yuting didn't dare to ask more.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the master ignored her, Qian Yuting's eyes flashed with regret, so she had to stand up, turn around and walk away.

Just a few steps away, Li Meng's voice rang behind Qian Yuting.

"I'll come to you tonight..."

Hearing this, Qian Yuting paused slightly, her face lit up, and she continued forward without looking back.

For more than a month, the master has never been to her room. Could it be that tonight...

Qian Yuting's face was slightly red, and while she was looking forward to it, she was also a little uneasy.
