Chapter 54: To New Manchester

Alexander left satisfied, with the collected data, and Andrew got a strange suggestion from Li Jianghao.

Li Jianghao claimed that carving a skull on a steam engine with signs of eagle wings growing on either side might have an unexpected effect.

Andrew had lost hope in the steam engine, which is why he agreed to do so. After that, I shifted my energy and went to study how to increase the efficiency of the robot with peace of mind.

Deal with the affairs of the city these days, because of the rapid riots of the London Gang, people have seen the strength of the guard.

A small number of people with bad intentions do not dare to cause trouble.

In addition, there are guards patrolling every day, and some stealing food and bullying women do not happen.

Except for Brian, the other captured London gangs were not particularly abused during the labor process, and with the addition of the survivors of Tesla City, they finally let down their guard.

One has to believe that the old world is gone.

Depending on the location provided by Tesla and Bernard, it would take at least 7 days to go back and forth between New Manchester and the cursed 416 site.

After arranging the affairs of the seven days, Li Jianghao packed his luggage and left the city with the reconnaissance team formed by Case, Brian and Bernard. By the way, I brought some ingredients for backup.

Huck will be in charge of coordinating the city during this time, and he has been by Li Jianghao's side for a long time, and he can also play a part of the role. Arnold will protect Huck from accidents.

Pierre's injury was still affecting his movements, so Li Jianghao made him a special prosthetic leg and used it as a teaching tool in the children's shelter.

The first children are already able to take on part of the treatment work at the ambulance station and transport food to the construction site.

Returning to this icy and snowy place, only the hot lamp on his clothes provided the feeling of heat, which made Li Jianghao a little excited.

Staying in a comfortable environment can make people feel slack, and he can only constantly rely on his surroundings to warn himself that he is not satisfied with the fruits of the city's current development.

His mission has not been completed, and if he fails, he will face the punishment of death.

Bernard did not look like an old man at all, and he did not lag behind in the speed of the crowd of young men.

This affairs officer, who has been dealing with government affairs all year round, easily thought that his London gang actually made a wedding dress for Li Jianghao's purpose of uniting the citizens.

But he didn't care, but felt a trace of pleasure, which showed that Li Jianghao's purpose was not just to save people's lives in his eyes.

Since Li Jianghao has agreed to help him find the truth about his youngest son's death, Bernard is also happy to be used as a tool, and does not tell Brian about this.

The engineering station had been upgraded with the technology of sledding speed, and even then, after two days of long travel, they finally reached their location in New Manchester.

To Li Jianghao's surprise, the energy tower in New Manchester was still open, but it only had first-order heat.

The location of New Manchester is not as pronounced as the cooling of New London, which has already experienced a cooling of -50 degrees Celsius, and here it is only -30 degrees Celsius.

However, even so, the people here are still gathered in the inner circle of the energy tower, and the population of the city is only about a hundred or so.

After Li Jianghao and his party were spotted at the lighthouse, a shout erupted in New Manchester.

Some welcomed the visitors into the city, staring at their food but fearing the guns in their hands.

They didn't know what kind of rifle the guest was holding, as long as they knew it was a gun that could kill people, it was enough for them to forcibly suppress their hunger and not do anything else.

As he made his way to the perimeter of the Energy Tower, an old engineer slowly walked out.

People recognize the ribbon on Li Jianghao's chest and know that he is the mayor. Suspicious thoughts circulated among the crowd, whispering.

"Welcome, Lord Mayor. Don't know where you're from? As you can see, the city is just surviving, and our lighthouse has spotted a massive cooling climate. None of us can survive without adequate resources. If you want to rule the city, be prepared to rule a dead city. ”

The old man didn't have so much red tape, and directly pointed out the hidden dangers of his city, and looked forward to getting a response.

Even if these people could be predators, they didn't think much about it, anyway, New Manchester without aid is on the road to a slow death.

"Tesla is dead, and I sentenced him to death." Li Jianghao heard the threat of the old man's last words, if he ruled the city with tyranny, he would also get the fate of being expelled like Tesla.

So as soon as I opened my mouth, I talked about Tesla's death.

The crowd was in an uproar, and even in such a painful environment, there was a hint of joy.

After the old man made sure that the visitor had no malicious intent, he slowly explained the matter of New Manchester.

After the disappearance of the original mayor, they were controlled by Tesla, the ruler of a foreign land, and they still hoped that the city's hidden dangers would be improved.

Instead, the tyrant forced their labor force to plunder the resources of other settlements on the ice sheets, and to oppress the people of the city.

New Manchester, out of fear of the Queen's law, simply expelled Tesla.

Then try to find other settlements to get help.

But because of their previous plunder, these settlements have been destroyed or disappeared.

New Manchester had to organize a reconnaissance team to advance to another research site that was vaguely documented in the records.

The scout team sent out by the lighthouse in New Manchester couldn't even prepare enough equipment for the team.

They sent out a reconnaissance team two days ago, and now it is not even clear whether anyone made it to that location alive.

This is probably the reason why only one survivor arrives at the Ark for help in the game's story.

After Li Jianghao confirmed the location of the scientific research site, he determined that it was the location of the Ark Energy Tower.

Then tell the people here that he is from New London, which has entered a virtuous circle and can feed more than a thousand people.

Li Jianghao will also personally go to the Ark, from where he will get enough food and coal resources to save New Manchester.

However, the trade-off is that Manchester needs to provide at least 50 people to settle in New London.

For this condition, in the face of the deterrence of food and weapons brought by Li Jianghao, the people of New Manchester quickly agreed.

The old engineer originally thought that Li Jianghao would give priority to the younger workers and engineers, but Li Jianghao let them choose their own places to go to New London.

It doesn't matter if all of them are women and children, anyway, when these people arrive, the robots that have been produced recently can smoothly replace all the production jobs.

Now that New London can afford idlers, Li Jianghao is still afraid that no one will come, even if they are all seriously ill.

Once there are enough robots, you can build a large number of infirmary buildings that also use steam cores, and keep them to heal one by one.
