Chapter 16: Food Emergency
After receiving a population of nearly 300,000, the Two Realms City radiated endless vitality, all the functional buildings officially began to operate, and everyone was in full swing and full of energy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, at present, the scale of the Two Realms City is still too small compared to the population, and it cannot accommodate no less than 300,000 people living at the same time, so Zhou Xiaoning decided to divide it, leaving 100,000 people in the Two Realms City, and the rest of the people will be distributed throughout the basin in the situation of villages. When the city of the Two Realms expands to a large enough size, we can bring them in.
Since Zhou Xiaoning repeatedly assured that the basin was very safe, and the fantasy creatures could not break through the only entrance, it was not much different whether there was a city wall to protect it or not. Out of trust in Zhou Xiaoning, the people assigned to live outside the city did not have much resistance, and obediently obeyed these arrangements.
After some careful consideration, Zhou Xiaoning decided to place most of the people who had been transferred to farmers, herdsmen, lumberjacks, quarrymen and other professions in the basin, and their main task was to clear land and gather resources. After completing the transfer, they will have the corresponding knowledge, although without the support of functional buildings, the production effect will be worse, but it is not completely impossible to do.
The craftsmen are responsible for the operation and production of the workshops in the residential area, and the military families are responsible for the operation of military production buildings, after all, the corresponding functional buildings can only be built in the two realms cities, so it makes sense to keep them.
At this time, it was the tenth day that the survivor team had reached the Two Realms City, and the three-star construction had been basically completed, and due to the shortage of resources, the four-star construction could not be carried out yet.
Now, as the lord's mansion, the mountain fort is finally a little bit of a look, the entire mountain fort building has been built to two-thirds of the two realms of the mountain, according to Zhou Xiaoning's speculation, when the lord's mansion is upgraded to four stars, the mountain fort should be able to be completely formed, by then the lord's mansion is not only Zhou Xiaoning's place of residence and office, the landmark building of the Two Realms City, but also the last line of defense of the Two Realms City, after all, Zhou Xiaoning was originally designed according to the model of a war fortress.
In Zhou Xiaoning's vision, the mountain fort could be divided into six classes from bottom to top.
On the first floor, there are castle halls, conference halls, banquet halls, guest rooms and other places to handle the daily affairs of the two realms city. Of course, the defenders of Dragon Castle will also be stationed on this floor, but because Zhou Xiaoning only trusts the "Thunder Blade" team he formed, so the defense of Dragon Castle will all be handed over to them, and it is still difficult to deal with the scale of their current dozens of people, so Zhou Xiaoning plans to expand the "Thunder Blade" next, and the number is pre-positioned at three thousand, and the "Thunder Blade" will be the strongest elite in Zhou Xiaoning's hands in the future.
From the second floor to the fourth floor, there are many small workshops with complete functions here, even if Zhou Xiaoning is besieged in the mountain fort one day, as long as the resources are sufficient, relying on these workshops Zhou Xiaoning can still hold out for a long time.
At present, Dragon Castle is built here, and the next two floors are just Zhou Xiaoning's ideas, but since it is said that it is better to introduce it by the way.
The fifth floor is a residence for the masters who have taken refuge in Zhou Xiaoning, such as Yan Chixia, and the three Hokages will have a room on this floor.
The sixth layer is naturally the residence of Zhou Xiaoning and his family, and as the most central area of the Two Realms City, Zhou Xiaoning will also set up some things here, when he saw that in the construction options given by the foundation stone of the base, Zhou Xiaoning had been flustered for a long time, if it can be built, the Two Realms City is absolutely impregnable, and whoever wants to break through it will have to pay a painful price.
However, the cost of that thing is too high, and Zhou Xiaoning can only look at it now, but he can't do anything.
These are all later words, but now there is a dilemma that has to be faced in front of Zhou Xiaoning.
In the Longbao conference room, Zhou Xiaoning, Zhou Yimin, Lin Shu, Zhou Pingzhong, and Luo Dafu sat around the conference table, this is the current high-level of the Two Realms City, and the leader is naturally Zhou Xiaoning, some people may say that Zhou Xiaoning is nepotistic, but at present, there are only a few people that Zhou Xiaoning can trust, and he can't give the power in his hands to a person who doesn't know the details.
"Dad, how long can we keep our food reserves?"
Zhou Xiaoning rubbed his temples, he was just thinking about establishing a base and providing a refuge for the people he cared about, but he didn't expect it to develop into the current situation, so that Zhou Xiaoning, who had only been the leader of the four-person group in the class at most from childhood to adulthood, came to manage more than 200,000 people at once, which really made him feel a lot of pressure.
"Xiao Ning, even if you take out all the food you have reserved, plus double my cornucopia copy, it will last for three days at most, after all, there are too many people."
Zhou Yimin also looked like he had a headache, he was now the logistics manager of the Two Realms City, after all, he had the cornucopia in his hand, an anti-heaven prop, and most of the things that passed through his hands could be turned into double copies, and there was no one more suitable for him to sit in the position of logistics manager. And he is also Zhou Xiaoning's father, so he shouldn't be able to pit Zhou Xiaoning.
As early as a few days ago, Zhou Xiaoning handed over most of the resources accumulated in his hands to Zhou Yimin and asked him to deal with them in a unified manner, including not only grain, fruits and vegetables, but also a lot of various raw materials that can be directly put into the workshop for production. And what made Zhou Yimin most happy was that Zhou Xiaoning finally agreed to let him copy a simulated farm, you must know that Zhou Yimin has coveted this prop for a long time.
After that, Zhou Xiaoning had been busy with the three-star construction and the resettlement of survivors, and he had no extra experience to pay attention to material reserves, until early this morning, Zhou Yimin hurriedly came to him, and he knew that the Two Realms City was about to run out of food!
"Among the materials brought from the HZ city base, is there no food?" Zhou Xiaoning looked at his father suspiciously, but he remembered that Wang Jianjun had brought more than fifty large trucks of materials, plus the materials transported through the storage space of the Chosen One, was there no food in it?
"Yes, there is, but in order for the base to maintain the survival of so many people, the daily consumption of food is a large number, and even if the military is fully prepared in advance, it will already be consumed if it is not replenished in time. Xiao Ning, you may not know that soon after you left, the base began to implement a limited supply of food, except for the Chosen One, the Evolutionary, and the Soldiers, everyone else could only eat two meals a day, and they could only eat half full per ton. ”
Zhou Yimin's words shattered Zhou Xiaoning's last bit of illusion, judging from this situation, the reason why Wang Jianjun agreed to lead the survivors to join him so simply was not to throw this heavy burden to Zhou Xiaoning.
"Alright, Dad, I'll figure this out. However, this also reminds us that people live on food, and no matter what, they cannot lack food. So I decided to expand the eastern and western urban areas by three square kilometers each, and that only farms would be built in these areas, and from now on we would be the land where we would produce grain. ”
Zhou Xiaoning made up his mind to pay attention to the spiritual communication of the [Two Realms City] source card, and invested 12 million source power points, and then there were three more squares with a unit of one square kilometer in the east and west urban areas, and the city wall also extended out along the way, making the original 3 by 3 square pattern of the Two Realms City into a 5 by 3 rectangular pattern.
Subsequently, a large number of farms were located in the expanded area, and the original wasteland was transformed into fertile land, ready for sowing.
Zhou Xiaoning made such a big move, and Zhou Yimin and the others naturally noticed it, but they all knew that it was necessary, so they didn't stop Zhou Xiaoning.
"Dad, you can gather the farmers in a moment and start farming as soon as possible."
Zhou Xiaoning handed over all the follow-up work to Zhou Yimin to complete, who called him the chief manager of the Two Realms City, before he found the right person to help him share, he could only let him wear multiple hats, but fortunately, Zhou Xiaoning's mother Lin Shu helped him on the side, and the couple joined forces, but they could also cope with it.
Zhou Pingzhong, as the person with the highest military literacy under Zhou Xiaoning, is not only the captain of the "Thunder Blade", but also temporarily serves as the commander of the first legion of mankind.
Luo Dafu has done his old job, and he is currently in charge of the construction of houses in various villages.
"Naturally, there is no problem with this, but Xiao Ning, even if it is a three-star farm, it takes a month for crops to mature from planting, how can we have so much time."
Zhou Yimin's face was still sad, and at the same time, he also had some self-blame, if he had discovered this problem a few days earlier and built a planting area in advance, the crops should have grown to waist-high by now. The rest of the food should last for ten days, and by then the crops in the growing areas should be almost ripe, and the food crisis will naturally be resolved.
Moreover, the survivors looked at the crops that grew day by day, and there was a hope in their hearts, even if there was a shortage of food, they would not have too many opinions. But now, the existing food is far from the maturity of this batch of food.
"Dad, haven't you always wondered why I named the base the City of the Two Realms, now I'll let you see my reason, Mom, Uncle Zhou, Uncle Luo, you should also come along."
Zhou Xiaoning got up and led everyone to Beicheng District. There is the First Human Legion stationed there, which is enough to keep the secret that Zhou Xiaoning does not want to disclose for the time being.
Of course, Zhou Xiaoning didn't want to expose the existence of the inner world, it was Zhou Xiaoning's hidden hole card, and it was no good to show it too early. Moreover, the inner world, like the outside world, has just emerged, and the production of a few farms before alone cannot fill such a big gap.
In fact, Zhou Xiaoning wanted to find a way in other fantasy worlds, and the two realms were short of food, but many of the food in the fantasy world were piled up. In the present world, gold and silver no longer have the value of the past, at best, they are just a material for Zhou Xiaoning to build and upgrade functional buildings, but in the fantasy world, these two things are still very marketable.
As long as Zhou Xiaoning grasps the difference in values between the two worlds and makes a transaction, not to mention just grain, Zhou Xiaoning can even get his hands on many other things.
