Ark Journey

Industrial capacity is a very important link. If we cannot produce some equipment when the time comes, we will be doomed.

The population of the world of Terra is far less than that of Earth, and natural disasters and various problems have led to this result.

According to the speculation of some bloggers I read before coming here, taking the relatively stable Yan State as an example, its 19 cities plus some settlements on the ground may have a population of only about to million, and the proportion of educated people is not yet known. As for other countries, the population may be even smaller.

However, their extremely strong individual levels and marvelous Originium skills can make up for it.

Based on the above information, we can actually conclude that the industrial capacity of this world should be smaller than that of the Earth, which makes Xue Zhi a little worried.

So he turned his attention to Agor in the sea, hoping to get some help from it if any accident really happened. From the few words he heard, it can be seen that this mysterious country covers a large area and has a high level of technology.

After finishing her thoughts, Alison began to organize her words.

"Agor's industrial capacity is not bad. We have at least 15 giant dome cities with a population of over million on the seabed. There are also many cities with a population of over million. Each city can survive independently and has a complete set of industrial and agricultural equipment inside."

This is good news.

So Xue Zhi began to think about how to get in touch with Agor.

Gloria might be a good choice. She seems to be the archon, but Xue Zhi doesn't know where she is now, and he has never seen how she appears in the plot.

Although this matter involves a long time in the future, the sooner it is decided, the better.

Alisonna, who was in tune with him, immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Xue Zhi, you seem to be in distress."

Xue Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Indeed, but although the matter is important, it is not yet that serious. After all, this may involve hundreds of years in the future."

"We might not be here by then, right?"

"Maybe."

Without saying anything more about this matter, Xue Zhi began to concentrate on the food in front of her and the work at hand.

After visiting a few more places, the trip to Yan Country was over. Xue Zhi, who was eating, began to think about what he would do after arriving in Longmen.

The main thing is to see if he can do what he promised to Tallulah. Mobile plots of land are not easy to buy. The blueprints he has are not big, and can only carry about 10,000 to 80,000 people at most.

What the integration movement needs is a truly mobile city.

Chapter 1: Far from Civilization, Outsider (New Volume)

Flying high in the sky, far away from Kazdel, the land that had been ravaged by war and soaked in smoke and blood and turned brown, Xue Zhi landed on the ground, looking at the forest and wilderness that gradually appeared in front of him. This area seemed to be where he landed, or even further north.

"In one day, we almost crossed half of Kazdel. This is really efficient."

He used a compass to find the position of north, and after making sure he was not going in the wrong direction, he strode north.

The latitude of Kazdel is further south. It is called a wilderness because there are not many traces of civilization after leaving the core area. The vegetation is relatively dense and there are many wild animals.

After putting on a set of color-changing leather armor from the chameleon module, Xue Zhi was walking in a forest, looking at the surrounding environment with curiosity.

After coming to the New World for such a long time, he has only been killing people and raising Ws in Kazdel, and has not carefully appreciated the scenery of other places in this land. He is like a roe deer who has just entered the city and is full of curiosity about everything.

"Is this the deciduous broad-leaved forest that I learned about in geography? It is indeed located further north than where I landed. I remember that when I was walking south, the forest felt a bit like a tropical rain forest."

His steps were very fast, but his enhanced eyesight still allowed him to clearly see every scene he wanted to see.

The unknown birds resting on the branches, the various small insects hiding in the shadows, and the huge Originium worms that spit out acid and try to turn him into food, any one of them is enough for the biological experts on Earth to study for a long time.

He pulled the Fusang out of the Originium worm, and then shook off the filth on the knife.

Xue Zhi looked at the tree roots that were still smoking and had been corroded by the acid, and sighed:

"I haven't seen such a powerful Originium bug in a long time. He said he wanted to raise one but he left before he could even finish it."

After getting through this little episode, Xue Zhi continued to move forward. There were indeed a lot of murderous intentions hidden in the forest. Of course, this was only for ordinary people.

From daytime to the time when he found a place to sleep, he encountered four Originium worms of different sizes, and one that could self-destruct. These brainless creatures always liked to treat Xue Zhi, who was several times larger than them, as food.

There was also an unfamiliar large spider half a person's height, whose long legs with a metallic luster successfully pierced off a small part of Xue Zhi's rune shield.

And now, its proud long legs are being roasted over the campfire.

Xue Zhi sat in front of the campfire, with a matchbox he built with stones behind him and an open space in the forest around him.

"This thing should be edible, right?"

Looking at the snow-white, crystal-clear flesh inside the legs of the spider on fire, Xue Zhi swallowed his saliva. He was not afraid that this thing was poisonous, but he was afraid that it would not taste good.

"Ouch, it tastes pretty good. No wonder Terra has such a delicacy as grilled sandworm legs. Maybe most arthropod limbs taste good?"

Afterwards, Xue Zhi, who had eaten and drunk her fill, lay on the bed and looked up at the starry sky, which was still filled with stars even though it was blocked by the star pods. Then she lay down on the bed contentedly and spent the first night since leaving Kazdel.

At six o'clock in the morning, Xue Zhi jumped out of bed on time, dismantled the house, and continued to walk towards the outskirts of the forest.

When demolishing the house, he also found some footprints of wild animals around, but the one-meter-thick stone walls successfully allowed them to survive.

It is a sunny day today. The sun shines into the forest through the gaps between the leaves, and together with the thick fog in the forest in the early morning, it forms a beautiful column of light.

It is beautiful, but the temperature rises very quickly. Although it is autumn now, the temperature is still very high. It won’t be long before the suitable temperature becomes hot.

Nearing evening, after flying for a distance and walking for a while, Xue Zhi felt a lot of moisture in the breeze blowing in his face, which made him excited. Maybe there was a lake ahead, so he could taste Terra's lake seafood again tonight.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhi quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the water vapor.

Using a knife to chop away the bushes that blocked the road, Xue Zhi sniffed the increasingly dense moisture in the air and muttered to herself:

"The direction should be correct. There are a lot more plants around here, and there are small bushes all over the ground."

It didn't take long before Xue Zhi saw the moon reflected on the water in the shadow of a tree.

[I will use the fishing rod of Bait III to satisfy my fishing addiction later. ]

Just as Xue Zhi pushed aside the bushes and fantasized about catching a big fish, the sound of a crackling campfire reached his ears.

[There are people here, but it doesn’t matter. Let’s see if they are good people. We can chat together.]

He quickened his pace, and when he walked out of the bushes, he saw several Sarkaz standing by the lake holding old swords.

They were men and women, even half-grown children and babies in their arms. Under their dusty clothes and armor, one could clearly see a lot of Originium crystals on their skin.

[I have to find a way to trick them into going to Kazitun.]

This place is not far from Kazdel, and Sarkaz are distributed throughout this land, so it is not surprising to see them here.

It is rare to see Sarkaz with mothers.

As for whether they were from Tressi's side, he didn't care, because the civil war in Kazdel had ended, and this place was far away from the core area of Kazdel, so they should have wandered here from outside.

Xue Zhi stood not far away, holding the knife with one hand and said calmly:

"Good evening everyone, I don't mean any harm, I just saw a lake over here and wanted to catch some fish for dinner."

The leading male Sarkaz frowned. He didn't dare to believe Xue Zhi's words. He said he was going fishing, but he had no fishing rod, only a sword. His leather armor could even blend completely into the environment.

Moreover, they were not a group of people who could fight against anyone who dared to wander alone in the forest.

"random."

After a brief exchange of words, they put down their weapons but remained wary of Xue Zhi.

Xue Zhi didn't care. It would be strange if she wasn't alert.

He came to the lake, found a clean place, put down a stone as a seat, and spent 10 points to exchange a fishing rod from his save file.

Then he threw the hook into the lake without bait.

The Sarkaz who had been observing him from a distance became even more alert.

Not only did the man get a big rock and a fishing rod from somewhere, he didn't even put up any bait to catch the scale beast!

Then they were surprised to find that the man's fishing rod bent, and the next second, he pulled a big fish as long as an arm out of the lake.

Then he threw the hook back into the lake without any bait.

A young Sarkaz stared at their frowning leader with wide eyes and asked, "Uncle, can you catch fish without bait?"

The leader shook his head: "Probably not."

But while they were talking, Xue Zhi caught another fish that was a little bigger than the previous one.

Chapter 2: Into the Wild

As for Xue Zhi, thinking that he had enough to eat, he put away his fishing rod, took out a knife, cut open the fish's belly, and took out all the internal organs with his telekinesis. Then he summoned pure water element to clean the fish.

After finishing the job, Xue Zhi picked up the fish and said, "Hey guys, can you lend me a fire to roast the fish? This big fish is my reward for the fire."

The group of people who were still surprised that he could catch fish without bait turned their eyes to the leader.

To be honest, the leader was very reluctant to let Xue Zhi come over. However, when he looked at the hungry wife and children left behind by his eldest brother and the dry rations and jerky meat on his side, he had to sigh.

He could only hope that this good-looking young man was a good person.

"Please come here."

"Thank you."

Xue Zhi walked to the campfire and sat down in the seat they had vacated, with the leader sitting next to him.

Without caring about the leader's opinion, Xue Zhi cut the fish into small pieces, skewered them with branches and roasted them over the fire.

Various small ingredients had been placed beside him, and a lot of potatoes were thrown into the fire.

The other fish was cut into pieces and thrown into the pot of soup.

Freshwater fish has a strong fishy smell. Seeing that they didn't have much seasoning, Xue Zhi replaced it with some green onions and ginger, and took out a bottle of used cooking wine and handed it to the leader next to her.

"Put it in there and cook it together. It will taste better. Don't worry about me poisoning it. You all combined may not even take two hits from me. There's really no need."

While handing over the condiments, Xue Zhi did not stand up. The long sword at her waist naturally floated up, unsheathed and swung the sword. A lavender sword energy flew out and directly cut off a large tree that a person could hug.

The "comforted" leader could only smile bitterly, took the condiments, chopped them up and put them into the pot.

He looked at the shivering people and said, "Well, since this is the case, let's accept the gift from this traveler and have a good meal."

Xue Zhi, who was flipping and brushing the grilled fish, raised her head and said, "Isn't that right? Although the situation in the wilderness is special, it is a tragedy of society that we cannot accept the kindness of others."

However, the Sarkaz, who had all dropped out of prenatal education, did not quite understand what Xue Zhi meant. They were more interested in fish.

After grilling the fish for a while, Xue Zhi noticed that the half-grown child had been staring at him, so he smiled and said:

"Why? Is there something you want to know?"

Seeing that Xue Zhi was easy to talk to, the half-grown child asked:

"Well, sir, how do you conjure these things out of thin air?"

"My Originium skills."

"That's it."

The leader standing by had cold sweat on his forehead and didn't dare to stop them, for he was afraid that he might know some secret and bring disaster upon himself.

But fortunately, the worst thing didn't happen.

Soon, the fish was grilled. Xue Zhi pulled out a few potatoes from the fire, peeled off the dusty skin without fear of the heat, sprinkled some condiments on them and started eating with the fish.

[The technique is not good enough, and it is not as delicious as W's. 】

"There are some potatoes in there, you can eat them. There are also seasonings here, although they are not good, but they are delicious."

"Thank you for your generosity."

After hearing what Xue Zhi said, they couldn't wait to take the potatoes out of the fire and started eating them.

The fish soup in the pot is a beautiful milky white color, and the fish meat, which has removed the fishy smell and retained the freshness, is delicious.

This was the best meal they had ever had since their wandering here.

After the meal, they collected some fish bones as if they were treasures.

Xue Zhi walked up to the Sarkaz holding the child. He just saw that there were pieces of black Originium crystals in the child's little hands.

The child's mother, I have to say, most of the Sarkaz women are very beautiful.

When this charming woman saw Xue Zhi coming over, she held the child in her arms and said carefully:

"What can I do for you?"
