Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

"Not yet, we haven't finished building the core engine yet... But we will give priority to making the city run, and we will definitely not disappoint the organization!"

"Now your construction period is shorter, I need to see the outline of the city in a month."

The engineer stood there suddenly, not because of the deadline set by the idle wolf, but because he smelled something else.

"War, is it that close?"

"I don't know, the enemy is far stronger than us, which also makes us unable to decide when the war will start, but at least we can decide when the war will end."

Patting the engineer on the shoulder, idle wolf turned his head and left.

"Then I will leave it to you to take Valeria, and I will go to other places to see."

A sense of urgency, although the development of things will not change much because of idle wolf's initiative or passivity.

After all, there are only so many factories on Edelweiss, so it can't be said that she can conjure a few out of thin air with hard work.

Those factories that have already reached the maximum load are the same regardless of whether the idle wolf goes to see the progress. The only thing they can do is wait.

But when things have come to this point, how many people can bear not to look at it?

And the more I watched, the more Idle Wolf understood a problem, the population is still limiting the development of Edelweiss.

Taking power armor as an example, the current production speed in Edelweiss can produce 12 units in almost a day. During the time when Idle Wolf left, the factory produced 400 sets of power armor prototypes, but the international troops Where can we find so many magicians to wear this kind of power armor?

At present, even after reorganization, there are still no more than 700 magicians in the world who are qualified to wear power armor, and the standard is that they can fire guns.

But operators can't all be infantry wearing power armor. Tanks need crews, planes need pilots, and rear heavy artillery also need gunners.

It would be a waste to equip ordinary soldiers, the protective effect is not even as good as ordinary heavy armor, and it is impossible for everyone in the army to be heavily armored, so although the protective effect is enough, maneuvering will become a complete tragedy .

For this reason, Idle Wolf immediately stopped the factory that produced power armor, allowing it to use more productivity in the production of ordinary protective gear and weapons while slowly producing supplies and wear and tear.

For example, simple and effective equipment such as crossbows and chainsaw swords, even if these equipment are not needed by themselves, they will have other uses in the future.

In future battles with the Fourth Army, the International will probably need to arm the liberated infected civilians. At that time, these weapons and equipment will naturally be useful.

That is to say, after seeing these military factories that are almost all in liquidation, Idle Wolf has a deep understanding of one thing, that is, how outrageous the productivity that can be exploded in a core city dominated by industry.

He even felt that this kind of incredible productivity should not appear in this era.

Perhaps, as some people have said, things like mobile cities are not something that the people of Terra developed step by step, but a work copied from some kind of ultra-ancient relic.

Although these mobile cities don't know what their original purpose was, for Terra now, they are almost like arks that can bring humans a respite in this world full of natural disasters.

Chapter 1067 New Dragon Gate

If there is no accident like a natural disaster, a city will usually try to stay in one location for a long time, because this means having stable business routes, especially for some commercial cities.

And in Terra, the most famous commercial city is undoubtedly Longmen, a city that stands in the northwest of Yan Kingdom and almost borders Ursas.

After surviving the previous war, the city did not choose to relocate, but continued to stay where it was.

Only a year later, the city is alive again, as if the previous war was a past that only existed in stories long ago.

For today's Longmen people, it's just an ordinary day. They should go to work and eat and drink.

The new urban area outside the urban area has already been put into use, but for ordinary Longmen people, there is another name there, which is Xiacheng District. If it is called more contemptuously, it can also be called a slum area, but this Salutations are not legally acceptable to be used in public places.

That's right, this is the urban area rebuilt by Longmen after the slums were taken away, and from the beginning of planning, this is just an ordinary urban area without any castration, but almost all the residents living here are infected.

Even after the war, people who want to come to Longmen to seek a living are still in an endless stream, especially after hearing that the city has released restrictions on infected people, many infected people from Yan Kingdom would rather come to Longmen by smuggling.

To say that the restrictions on household registration are strict, there is only Yan Kingdom.

The newly built urban area still cannot meet everyone's needs. Now a new temporary town has been built outside Longmen. In order to prevent this temporary urban area from becoming a slum, Longmen has also sent professionals to guide the hygiene and other conditions, and pick up A sub-bureau of the Longmen Guard Bureau was established.

This is indeed a good signal. Let's look at another urban area that is about to start construction, and perhaps it will also be delivered to these migrant workers.

In the branch of the Longmen Guards Bureau in this temporary town, a strange face walked into the bureau, and what made the newcomers feel strange was that a stranger walked in, but no one stopped him at all.

Even if they open their mouths to remind, they will only get the old man's sentence "don't worry about it", that's all.

Perhaps it was because they were afraid of dampening the enthusiasm of the newcomers, and only the oldest members of the bureau would drag these newcomers aside and tell them some of their secrets.

The stranger was also familiar with the room settings here, as if she had returned to her own home. She walked to the last door skillfully, and walked in without knocking.

"You've been living a cool life these days."

The person's voice was not very angry, and she was not polite, and directly picked up the tea on the table and poured it into her mouth.

"It's not easy to come to you."

"You must be too busy."

Sitting on the sofa and covering the light with a newspaper for an afternoon nap, the big man picked up the newspaper and put away his legs on the table.

"I've always been here, you can't blame me if you can't come by yourself."

Other Longmen people would never have imagined that the city lord of Longmen and the director of the Longmen Guard Bureau would appear together in this small Guard Bureau branch outside the city. If the paparazzi in the city find out, it will definitely be another big news tomorrow. Bar.

But then again, Hoshiguma has actually been here for a long time. After all, there are lessons learned from the failure of the Guards Bureau to enter the slums, so she couldn't help but be careless.

As for who will be in charge of the General Bureau of the Guards Bureau, isn't there still the reliable Miss Shi Huaiya.

However, the facts have proved that the current Longmen Guard Bureau is indeed much more credible in the infected group than the original one, especially after some new measures have been taken.

"How are the new players?"

"Very good, discipline and enthusiasm are guaranteed, much better than some veterans."

The so-called new team members are also one of the new measures of the Guards Bureau. Infected people are directly recruited into the Longmen Guards Bureau in the lower city and here, and they are responsible for some of the daily work in the two places.

It can be seen that Hoshiguma is very satisfied with these new team members, and her satisfaction means that the work is going very smoothly, which is naturally a good thing.

"Be careful of their depravity and corruption. Once you get rich or suddenly have power, it is easy to breed such unpleasant things. We can't let those degenerates ruin the situation we have managed to get out of."

"Don't worry, I won't make mistakes in the general direction. As for private matters, I can only leave it to you, respected Mr. Chen."

"Ha, when did you learn to be glib."

"Sometimes knowing a lot doesn't mean showing it. A martial artist who doesn't know anything is easier to gain the trust of others."

"Tch, I always feel like you're implying something."

The two chatted jokingly without saying a word, and it took a while before they got back to the topic.

"Why do you come to find me today when you have time? It seems that you are not here to play."

Hoshiguma and Chen can't see each other often now, both of them have their own responsibilities, and responsibility means being busy, unlike a certain Luper who entrusts most of the affairs to his subordinates, they always do it by themselves.

"Today I received a message from our business partner."

"Say it straight, don't be tricky."

Hearing what Xingxiong said, Chen leaned into her ear, although she believed in the secrecy measures here, what if the walls have ears.

"They are going to war with the Ursus Empire."

This news is a bit explosive, even Hoshiguma needs to digest it.

"The entire Ursus Empire?"

"Of course not, it's just the Fourth Army."

According to the normal situation, just a group army can never be described as "just". Even Longmen can't stop the attack of an Ursus group army, let alone a local powerful faction like the fourth group army.

But compared with the previous Ursus Empire, a group army doesn't seem so terrible.

"So what does your business partner want to ask us to do?"

"They didn't ask for anything, they just told us that they hope that future merchant ships can bypass the war, or the only request is that we don't cut off the trade route."

Chen frowned, and if she wanted to say who she supports for the International and the Ursus Empire, it must be the International.

But the support that Longmen can provide is quite limited. It is impossible to intervene in the war. Longmen can't afford a new war, but do you want to say that you don't care?

The so-called cold lips and teeth, no normal person wants to see a teammate who has a common enemy fall.

Chapter 1068 The role played by Longmen

"What do you think we should do and what role should we play in this war?"

Longmen has no shortage of think tanks, but most of the time Chen still likes to discuss these matters with his old buddies, and can analyze them from other angles.

"Haha, it's not what we should do, but what we can do."

Hoshiguma picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but found that there was only a bottom of the tea in it. He shook his head and filled it up before drinking his favorite green tea contentedly.

Although she is from the East, she has lived in Longmen for so many years, and she still prefers the taste of green tea to matcha.

"The role we play is the rear support."

That's right, the current Longmen can be said to be at its weakest in the past ten years. The Guard Bureau was crippled in the previous war, and the Shadow Guard was almost eliminated. The city can be rebuilt within a year.

But the army is not good. Even if they have recruited new personnel, these recruits have not experienced war and cannot cope with the current situation.

However, when there are the most enemies, not only the Ursas, but also the interior of Yan Kingdom is not at peace, it is troubled times.

Chen just wanted to pick up the teacup, but Xingxiong snatched it away and put it elsewhere.

But in the face of Chen's glaring look, she honestly took out a brand new teacup from the cupboard, and pettyly took out the tea leaves she had treasured to make a cup for Chen.

Both of them are not that particular, and they don't bother to pour out the so-called first water, let alone talk about tea art.

Thinking about Xingxiong's words, Chen also had to admit that there are not many things that Longmen can do now.

"The current Longmen, only money is left..."

For individuals, it is basically ridicule that only money is left for the poor. After all, for individuals, money is almost the closest thing to omnipotence.

But it's not the same for a mobile city or country, Chen Ke is complaining seriously.

After all, for a country, there are too many things that money cannot buy.

Because in many cases, money cannot buy stronger military power, and none of these things require a lot of time, and what Longmen lacks now is time.

Without a strong military base, there is still too little that Longmen can do, and it can't even be tough.

"Then we will give them whatever they lack."

"Now they are very rich, not as good as before."

Isn't it, it's not fast to make money by doing business without capital.
