Ark Journey

Hedley chatted with Xue Zhi as if he was giving a work report.

"In addition, in terms of construction, we have provided water and electricity to every household. Since you came here last night, you should have felt it."

Xue Zhi kept nodding.

Chapter 13: Construction of the Mobile City Begins

Electricity is easy to deal with, but water supply and drainage projects are more complicated.

In the early days, the University of Tokyo had electricity faster than water, about several years earlier.

Later in the conversation, Hedley took out a sealed folder from a drawer beside him.

"You can take a look at the last work report from two months ago. I have just dictated to you what is not there."

"Row."

After a brief glance, Xue Zhi returned it to Hedley.

It can be seen between the lines that Kazitun has really changed a lot in just these few months.

The girl drinking coffee next to me has also transformed into the leader of the School of Chemistry.

All the chemicals used in the entire Kazitun came from her and her men, including explosives for blasting mines, more efficient fertilizers, some medicines and supplements.

After finishing her coffee, Xue Zhi wiped her mouth and said:

"I've been out for so long, I brought you some gifts too."

Two thick blue drawings and a few small cubes appeared in his hand.

"This is?"

"The blueprints and construction equipment for a small mobile city. One of the two cities has Originium processing equipment, and the other has iron ore refining equipment. Of course, you can dismantle the industrial equipment and use it as a simple residential city."

It's a bit of a pity that no source stone veins and iron ore have been found in Kazitun, but it has been mentioned in the work report that the exploration efforts in the surrounding area are being increased, and I believe there will always be good news.

After hearing this, Hedley seemed very excited. He stood up and walked around the table.

Kazitun is indeed thriving these days, but since it is rooted in the earth, it is inevitably threatened by potential natural disasters.

If a small natural disaster occurs, all their efforts over such a long period of time may be in vain.

Although there is an early warning system and the staff given to W by Xue Zhi, this is still not the best solution.

Even though the things Xue Zhi took out could not be built immediately, there was still hope.

Hedley suppressed the excitement in his heart and sat back in his chair.

"How long will it take to build? How much material will be needed?"

"Time can be adjusted by inputting energy. The key is that a lot of materials are used. After all, although these two are small mobile cities, they are also huge monsters of hundreds of meters when compared with other things."

Hedley fell into thought.

Kazitun does not have a complete industrial system, which means that a large amount of materials need to be purchased. Xue Zhi still has a lot of red gold left behind, and they have also made a lot of money themselves, but they are afraid that those businessmen will cause trouble.

Monopoly, price gouging, a lot of things appeared in Hedley's mind.

He didn't mind thinking the worst of the businessmen.

or...

At this moment, Xue Zhi and W, who were sitting opposite, saw Hedley's expression changing dramatically and the murderous aura emanating from him.

W gives a audible reminder.

"Hey, Hedley, what dangerous things are you thinking about?"

In front of these two people, Hedley did not need to hide anything.

If they really go crazy, they will definitely be more lethal than myself.

"I'm worried that if I buy too much material, the merchants will do something bad."

"This is indeed something that needs to be considered, but they don't have the courage, and Xue Zhi is back. We are definitely not afraid of them whether they use force or soft tactics."

"Indeed."

Xue Zhi and Mrs. W followed their husband's lead.

Although Xue Zhi will go back to run other businesses later, he can also come here at any time.

"That's the truth."

"Okay, let's put this thing down first in this Feng Shui treasure land, and show you how big it is."

"Ah."

After making some arrangements and sending a message to the construction team and police station in Kazitun, the three of them left the government building.

And although it is called a government building, it is actually just a small building with several floors.

After taking a group of people with them, they headed towards a huge open space outside the town.

On the way, the acquaintance from the police station also talked to Xue Zhi about some other things.

The person who spoke was the young man who was going to propose to Daisy. After so much time, he has become much more mature and is currently training new people. He also has a ring on his finger.

"Deputy Captain, do you still remember the guy who wanted to sell drugs here?"

"Of course I remember. I saved his life."

"He came back later and brought many people with him."

Hearing this, Xue Zhi's expression changed.

Based on his understanding of drug dealers, he might have made a mistake in the beginning.

"Want to do it hard?"

"Yes, but we dealt with all those crooked melons and cracked dates. After leaving a tongue, we sent many people out to wipe out their nests. Deputy Captain, you don't know that the ground over there is full of white drugs."

"Good job. How did you destroy the drugs?"

"This is all thanks to Captain W. She told us what to do in advance. Otherwise, it would have just been a fire and everyone would have gotten high."

This incident served as a reminder to Xue Zhi that drug-related people must be dealt with severely and one should not let down one's guard just because they are infected and pitiful.

As they chatted, they arrived at their destination.

Xue Zhi used her magic to flatten the nearby ground, and then began to place landmarks and architect workbenches.

Once everything is done, insert the blueprint and start the device.

The next moment, a huge, light green shadow appeared in the open space.

"That's about it. You put the materials in here and it will automatically start to build. Someone come and take a look and see if there's anything needed in here."

In order to facilitate the input of materials, Xue Zhi built a simple transportation system here.

A large number of hoppers are connected to a box, which is connected to the Architect's Workbench via pipes, so that even the largest materials can be thrown in.

Those who had never been to Kazdel City looked up and sighed in a low voice.

“This is too big...”

This is the first blueprint, the city that can refine source stones. Xue Zhi did not remove the equipment on it, because there are not many people in Kazitun, and they can live there with a little crowding.

And the one on the ground will definitely not be thrown away easily, so it is enough.

After looking up at the shadow of the city for a while, Hedley began to arrange his men.

The first thing is security. The police station in Kazitun will send a brigade to protect this place to prevent the mobile city under construction from being damaged.

Next came the construction team. Although they didn't have to do the construction themselves, they were familiar with various materials, so they had to raise the materials.

It was already noon when everything was arranged. After Xue Zhi stuffed some things that looked hard to buy into it, the construction of the mobile city began.

Chapter 14: Repair work officially begins

We returned to the government building and had lunch in the cafeteria there.

After leaving a lot of red gold to Hedley for purchasing materials, Xue Zhi started to stroll around Kazitun under the guidance of W.

In addition to seeing how the things he had built were doing now, Xue Zhi was most concerned about educational issues.

There is no way, education is the real top priority.

Only with knowledge and the methods to understand knowledge can a community, from a settlement to a civilization, develop.

“Of course, we also focus on education here.”

W, holding Xue Zhi's hand on the street, took him to the school.

"We currently have three types of educational institutions. In addition to normal schools, we also have crash courses to train various skilled workers, as well as related schools run by Scourge Messengers."

"Good."

Speaking of this, W remembered a person with a very big tail.

"By the way, do you want to go see Provence?"

"Is she here?"

"She is the Messenger of the Scourge who leads the team this time."

"Go and have a look. We are friends after all."

Seeing Xue Zhi nod, W took him to a school run by a messenger of natural disasters.

There, the two managed to meet Provence, who was teaching a group of people.

I didn't disturb her in class, but waited until after class to talk to her.

Provence was holding a lesson plan and wearing glasses, looking very intellectual.

After seeing Xue Zhi, she was also a little surprised.

"Xue Zhi!? You're back from Ursus so soon?"

"Yeah, I walked faster."

"I have also heard about your deeds in Ursus. A person like you can really make a difference wherever you go."

Xue Zhi thought she was talking about the time when he was killing people indiscriminately over there, but when she asked, she found out that it was the time when he helped the villagers evacuate from a natural disaster.

The Scourge Messenger fulfilled his promise. According to the number on Xue Zhi's badge, his contribution to the Scourge was recorded, and the information quickly spread to all Scourge Messenger agencies.

After chatting with this old friend for a few words, Xue Zhi went to get a complete set of potion production equipment for Kazitun, which was something he had thought of a long time ago.

After doing all this, Xue Zhi and W went home.

I have done what I should do and seen what I should see, so now it’s time to do something I love.

It's normal that things are getting exciting after not seeing each other for a long time.

In the afternoon, after struggling for a long time, W stretched out his snow-white arms from under the quilt and took the cup of water from the bedside table.

After drinking half the cup in one breath, W made a relieved sound.

"Oh, that's great. When are we leaving?"

"I'll be leaving soon. I have something to do tomorrow, but I'll be back soon, probably once every two or three days. Or I'll come visit you and Alina whenever I'm free. It's very convenient anyway."

"Okay, by the way, besides Alina, have you found anyone else?"

"Yes, there is."

"let me see."

Xue Zhi took out a photo of Alison.

This person also knew about the existence of W and Alina, but her situation was very special. She was "charmed" by Xue Zhi, which led to her not caring about this at all.

After W took a look, he suddenly found something interesting.

"The three of us all have gray hair. Do you like this?"

“There is no necessary connection.”

"Okay, let's go ahead and do this a few more times before you leave. I haven't had a full stomach in a while."

Putting the photo aside, W turned over and sat on Xue Zhi's waist.
