Chapter 34: Different Choices
"We're going to build this place into a city gradually, and then we're going to gather more survivors and get everyone on the path of martial arts... In a year, two years, ten years, twenty years, we will definitely be extremely strong! ā
"By that time, all demons, monsters, will no longer be our opponents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"We want to counterattack, we want to take back the domination of mankind over the world!"
The two women clenched their small fists, and the light on their faces could not be concealed.
Wang Su smiled and nodded: "The ideal is good, but the road is tortuous." ā
"Hmph, people don't have ideals, what's the difference between them and salted fish?" Wang Bing snorted lightly, very arrogant.
"Say less nonsense." "What we need most now is manpower. Especially technical personnel. It's not easy to build this place into a city. How to plan, how to build defense facilities, how to be reasonable, these questions make my head big. ā
For these problems, Wang Su is also powerless.
If you just want to build an ancient city, Wang Su can pay some attention. In the late Han Dynasty, the later expansion of the imperial capital of Cao Wei was attended by Wang Su.
But this world is the background of modern science and technology.
Many of the ideas are different from those of ancient times. For example, defensive facilities, in ancient times, were city walls, military camps, and the like. But here, it's the age of thermal weapons. How to use thermal weapons to make a city have a considerable defense capability, how to plan, needs professionals.
And just planning it is just an empty shell, and it also needs corresponding weapons and equipment. The ultimate goal is to be self-sufficient. Therefore, there is a need for relevant weapons manufacturing specialists, and it is also necessary to build production lines.
It's not enough to have a production line, you also need raw materials.
To transport and mine raw materials, it involves all aspects of problems.
Often one thing involves a lot of trouble, that is, no matter how big the brain hole is, it will be filled, and the swollen brain will hurt.
"The most important issue now is food self-sufficiency." Wang Su said: "Everything else can be put aside, and food should be put in the first place." Otherwise, no matter how many survivors are gathered, they will not be able to survive, and it will still be a waste. ā
In fact, Wang Su had already done it, but he didn't say it.
Although the virus is powerful, with Yan's ability, it is not impossible to transform the food that adapts to the environment.
However, he hopes to exercise Jill and Wang Bing more, and let them figure out how to do it themselves. After all, Wang Su is leaving, and he hopes that after he leaves, Jill and Wang Bing will be able to rely on their abilities and prestige to sit firmly at the head of this base.
In addition, the existing grain in this base is quite abundant, and there is no food crisis for the time being.
So Wang Su is not in a hurry.
When it comes to a crisis, he naturally won't let the two girls go. It's never too late to take it out when the time comes.
In fact, about Jill and Wang Bing, they also saw Wang Su's thoughts. They also knew that Wang Su was going to leave eventually, so they all agreed with Wang Su's idea.
You can't put the hope of a world in a person who is bound to leave.
Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing.
"Honey, haven't you noticed that there has already been a team out to search for plants that can be cultivated and planted." Jill laughs: "Of course we know that food is the most important thing. ā
Wang Su nodded.
...
And so, for a year.
This base city, over time, gradually took shape.
Along the valley, a long and narrow city with a length of five kilometers from north to south and an average width of three hundred meters from east to west stood up.
Over the course of a year, many rescue teams have been dispatched to the base, scattered in all directions, and gathered many survivors.
Up to now, the population of the entire base city has exceeded 10,000!
In the beginning, with women and children, there were only two or three hundred. At that time, the team sent out at most was only a hundred people at a time. However, as more and more survivors were rescued, more and more teams were sent, and the scope of rescue became wider and wider, and the population rescued was growing rapidly like a snowball.
Among these survivors were farmers, workers, technicians, scientists, and officials. A variety of people with different occupations make up for many weaknesses in this base.
The defense facilities of the base gradually took shape, and various production plants and production lines were also established one by one.
A huge highway, with the efforts of Wang Su and the machine, started from scratch and went straight into Guanzhong.
Most importantly, the birth of food varieties adapted to the environment.
In the first half a year, the team dispatched by the base also found a lot of edible plants, some of which were fruits and some were rhizomes. But what is disappointing is that none of these plants can be planted on a large scale like rice and wheat before the end of the world.
It was only at this time that Wang Su made a move.
In the world of the late Han Dynasty, Yan transformed grain varieties, high, medium and low grades.
Here, too, the same is corn.
It's just a few more fine-tuning to adapt it to the viral environment.
These three grades of millet are low-grade, with high yield and short maturity cycle. The mid-range has a slightly longer cycle, and the high-end has the longest cycle. Similarly, the mid-range and high-grade millet are also suitable for martial artists in different realms of martial arts.
When Wang Su took out the millet seeds, he shocked many people.
However, people still understand the land gods like Wang Su, who are almost mythologized by them. Immortals, naturally, are different from mortals, and they can't.
High-grade grains, Wang Su asked Jill and Wang Bing to be in their own hands. The mid-range ones are open to martial arts cultivators of a certain realm, and the low-end ones are popularized by the whole people.
In this way, they can better control the right to speak.
Human beings are like this, even in the last days, even if they are about to perish, they still have their own thoughts. In this base, there are not a few intrigues.
However, with a land immortal like Wang Su in charge, the base is also developing in an orderly manner, and no one dares to challenge Jill and Wang Bing's right to speak.
Even in private, people have called this place 'Immortal Market'.
Most people have regarded Wang Su as a spiritual sustenance, acquiescing to the power of Jill and Wang Bing's leadership.
In fact, Wang Su didn't care about these at all, he had told Jill and Wang Bing to let them find a place to live in seclusion after Wang Su left. I don't want them to be part of these flies.
But the two women didn't do it.
Here is their hard work - let a person have an extreme concern for their own hard work, and they can't wait to hold it in their arms all the time. No one wants to throw away their hard work.
Seeing this, Wang Su didn't say much more, but every time he acted, he strengthened their prestige, and only hoped that after he left, they would not be wronged.
...
Early in the morning, the sun rose from the horizon, and Wang Su walked out of his house.
It is a house located on the side of a mountain cliff, half in the cliff and half outside. This is the only building that can overlook the entire immortal city, representing the transcendent status of the royal house.
Behind him, the two women also washed up and walked out, one left and one right, snuggling up to the king's house.
Wang Su grabbed the two girls, took off and flew up, not caring about the eyes of anyone below, and flew to the top of the cliff.
Standing on the top of the cliff, I saw at a glance that there was a green patch in a few square kilometers nearby -- that was grain!
What a lovely green - how long has it been since the end came?
Wang Bing and Jill looked satisfied.
"This city has begun to take shape," Wang Su looked into the distance: "You have all all had the eightfold martial arts cultivation of the flesh. If nothing else, it's enough to deal with most dangers. ā
As soon as these words came out, the two women beside him trembled in unison.
"You... Going? ā
Wang Bing's face turned a little pale.
Although I knew that the man in front of me would definitely go, and it wouldn't be too long. But when the day finally came, they were at a loss.
I used to deceive myself, but when the truth came, I didn't know how to face it.
Wang Su was silent for a moment: "Yes, it's time to go." ā
After a pause, he said, "I still say the same thing, since this base has been formalized, I don't want you to participate in it anymore." I'm here, and they don't dare mess around. But I'm gone, so it's hard to say. After all, you are women, and women have inherent disadvantages in some aspects. Maybe in a short time, you can still hold on, but after a long time..."
Wang Su shook his head: "Although your martial arts cultivation is second to none in this base, martial arts are not the most terrifying, and people's hearts are the most terrifying. ā
"I'm going to the United States, come with me." Wang Su looked at the two girls.
Jill smiled reluctantly: "Are you looking for Alice?" ā
Wang Su smiled and shook his head: "If you can meet her, of course it will be better." I left something on the U.S. side that I had to retrieve before I left. ā
"Do you really not support our participation in the construction of the base?" Wang Bing said: "This is our hard work, and it is also the hope of mankind's counterattack..."
"You are you, and humans are human. You cannot represent the whole of humanity, and humanity cannot force you to do anything. Don't force some unnecessary shackles around your neck. I just want you to be safe, and I don't care about the rest. ā
"I'll go with you!"
Jill suddenly said: "I have thought clearly, I came here just to wait for you." Not for the so-called great cause of humanity. She looked at Wang Su, and the affection in her eyes couldn't be hidden: "I want to follow you, every second you are still in this world." ā
Wang Bing's heart was entangled, his face was struggling, and after a long time, he bit his lip and said, "I think, I want to stay here..."
When Wang Su heard this, he sighed: "Okay, you have your choice, I won't force you." I just hope that in the end, you will not be disappointed... It's still the same place, the same place we used to live, the one that was blown up. I left, and Jill lived there in seclusion. If you miss Jill, go find her. ā
Jill nodded as well.
...
Holding Wang Su's arm, Jill finally looked back at the fairy city that was getting farther and farther away, feeling lost and worried. But snuggling up to the king's house, I feel very fulfilled and at ease.
"Don't worry about Wang Bing." Wang Su said: "She is smarter than you. If something really happens to this base, I will be worried if you stay here, but if Wang Bing stays here, I will be much more relieved. ā
"And, I'm sure, maybe it won't be long before she comes to you."
