38. Underground Farm
At this time, the underground farm.
Joyna's 2 groups of people have already blended into the residential area.
It resembles a huge underground steel mill, one of the human settlements established hundreds of years ago, stretching 100 meters underground, connecting the underground of several surrounding towns.
This underground world, which covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers around it, is the most successful example of a town in this era.
Here, with an artificial daylight system, ample illumination is provided. This energy is powered by more advanced biogas systems and underground nuclear energy, and then converted into other energy sources.
Most of these technologies are the legacy of previous civilizations.
Those things are still in use today, and through people's continued research and exploration, they have been able to fully meet the needs of human beings for underground survival.
Biogas digesters rely mainly on human and livestock excrement, as well as huge machinery to work.
Huge exhaust ducts hung criss-crossed over people's heads, growing out of the nearby ground, and from a distance, they looked like countless giant corns stuck in the ground.
Nuclear energy, another legacy of pre-civilization, is a small nuclear power plant installed in a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
The huge ship was now lying quietly deep underground, only half of it was left tilted into the earth, and the other half, several kilometers away. The local armed forces have placed several fences around it, and they have assigned people to rotate their posts, and they are guarded day and night.
The famous underground farms in Area 33 are scattered in the eastern and northern parts of this underground world, and each huge house is upside down like a greenhouse.
Their shape is unique.
Some were built into semicircles; Some are pyramid-like, with four sides supporting a vertex; There are also trapezoidal joint greenhouses, which are connected into a large area......
The growth of all plants is closely monitored just like in a laboratory. In addition to manual work, such as watering, pest control, etc., are automatically completed by the control system.
These farms, which attract most of the surrounding population, are attended by hundreds of farmers and technicians every day, and most importantly, they produce a variety of food regardless of the season.
Many gangs have lost this abundance, but none of them really have it. Even "Daddy" is nominally its patron saint, but in reality, the initiative is still in the hands of the farm itself.
"Daddy" himself knows this.
The reason is very simple, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
There is no food supply, everyone! Whether you are a good citizen or a thug, an emperor or a poor citizen, you will all starve to death.
If one day, this place is replaced by other protectors, they will still be the same, what should they do? For them, it doesn't matter who is the protector, they have to have a good relationship with them.
This is soft power. The superficial attachment is not a simple vassal, and their own self-police regiment is not a dry meal.
The rules of survival in the underworld are also harsh, and they are also classified.
Those scientists who specialize in the growth of crops, also known as technicians, who have many privileges and are even closely protected by the armed forces, are the highest beings of this underground class; secondly, there are farmers, merchants, and mechanics who are generally skilled and can operate machinery; And then there are the bottom, the craftsmen, the slaves, and the poor of all kinds.
Of course, not everyone likes life here. There are also many people who would rather live on the ground than stay underground, such as Fit's grandfather.
The old man used to be an automation controller on the farm. When he was young, he had countless inventions. Eventually, however, he left the area to study his beloved mechanical modifications.
The food produced by these farms is different from the food that is synthetic.
That's the real food that comes out of the ground and has been cultivated over countless generations! The seeds of all plants are preserved.
In this way, food can be superior from generation to generation, and can withstand the harsh natural conditions of the outside world.
On the ground, it is already difficult to grow food. The underground farms in District 33 feed tens of thousands of people. In this day and age, their achievements are remarkable.
At this time, Joyna's two waves of centaurs had successfully entered through the sewers connecting the farm area. Their primary goal was the residential area of the farm, and as soon as they brought back a botanist, they were well on their way.
The two minor bosses are Joyna's right-hand men.
They are in the "Flame Regiment" famous "Dead Fish Eye" Harris and "Mad Dog" Dongfang Road.
The thin man in the yellow shirt, with a pair of dead fish eyes, named Harris, should be the most familiar with this place.
Because, every once in a while, he would bring people here, dress up as a merchant, and secretly buy supplies. But the main thing is another reason, he has a beautiful lover here......
He was also very calculating, and it is said that he was once a martyred nobleman in the Central Continent before fleeing to Joyna's territory.
After several gang battles, he was valued by the "Queen" and became a small boss.
The other is a strong man with brutal brute force - Dongfang Lu, he is a person who used to play for the RF rocket family, but his appetite is too amazing, and he was later plotted by the villain and driven out.
Wandering in the wilderness, hungry and thirsty, he encountered Joyna's "Flame Regiment", and because he fought his "Flame Regiment" thugs with brute strength, he was defeated by one enemy and ten enemies, and was captured alive as a slave.
However, he stood out in the next few melee fights, and was discovered by Joyna, and his incomparable brute force finally came in handy.
He often stormed into the crowd of enemies, killing decisively, and naturally became the small boss of the "Queen"! And for this reason, he got the title of "mad dog".
"How do we find those botanists?" Dongfang Lu asked.
"I went to look at the residential area over there, and I had a few acquaintances who went to ask them about it. You go to the market first and find one of my connectors, her name is Lulu, and she is the proprietress of the Blackstone Bar...... You can ask her about a lot she should know. ”
"Okay! We'll meet at the entrance to the sewers. ”
"Well, that's right! You send some men to guard near the entrance to the sewers, this is the only way out of this. Wait, and ...... You'd better go to my connector alone, and don't take your men with you. ”
"Okay! Watch out for those vigilantes! They are likely to patrol the perimeter. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm very familiar here! Maybe I'll be able to bring the 'Queen' out of the way soon. ”
After saying that, Harris smiled, turned around and left.
The Eastern Road soon came to the Bazaar, the heart of a vast underground world of nobles, merchants, thugs, slaves, and farmers.
Steaming heat pipes swirl around the buildings lining the streets, winding deep and deep like a labyrinth.
The huge sun lamps were also dim in this market, and the artificial light was obscured by countless scattered houses and passages. The dungeon's lighting system mimics the 24-hour cycle of natural light on the ground, and the underground world still has dawn and of course night.
However, there is no change in the outside world. The temperature here also does not change throughout the year.
Orient Road walked to a topography building, and he looked up at his surroundings, a dilapidated water tower towered next to the building, black rock walls painted with messy red graffiti, and heat pipes hovering over the top of the building.
Well, that's right, that's where Harris described.
There are a number of merchants and hawkers at the gate, who mainly trade in grain and other household goods. This is what Harris calls the bar.
Blackstone Bar, but at this time, it hasn't opened yet.
District 33 rules: Bars can't do business until the street lights are on at night.
Dongfang Lu didn't hesitate, he pushed the door directly and went in.
The bar was filthy, with water stains on the counters, and behind it was a row of wine racks full of bottles, and there were some worn-out chairs and broken bottles lying on the floor, and it was clear that the people here also liked to fight......
He stood for a moment, looking inside the bar.
Nobody? Dongfang Lu was a little puzzled, he coughed loudly a few times, but there was still no movement.
He saw the stairs and walked up quickly. Halfway through, he heard a movement that seemed to be far away, somewhere upstairs.
He stood and listened carefully. Soon, he smiled and frowned again.
Listen to the sound, it's someone doing something indescribable in the room. He occasionally heard the woman's dissolute ~ scream......
