You can't be picky.

"You've never had combat rations before, have you? The taste of those things is truly indescribable. You've eaten too much of this canned food."

"Sorum said."

However, he still admired Lin Yan for being able to start eating without making a sound.

"Lin Yan, is it delicious?"

"Solum asked jokingly."

He pondered, guessing that Lin Yan's wilderness survival skills must be quite strong. Surviving in the wild requires not only powerful combat abilities, but also the ability to adapt to harsh environments.

The most important thing is food.

When food is scarce, one should look around for something to eat. Generally, wild fruits are the most palatable for ordinary people, but insects are the easiest to find and are also the least likely to cause poisoning.

Those who can eat insects will survive.

Conversely, they can only wait to die.

"It's alright, the taste is okay, much better than that rotten meat that's already gone bad," Lin Yan said while enjoying his meal.

Sorum had intended to tease Lin Yan, but he was choked and speechless. The canned food in his mouth seemed to have lost all its flavor, and he felt nauseous.

Why did Lin Yan recount these things so calmly?

He thought he could overcome any difficulty.

After all, when conducting investigations outside the walls, their combat rations not only tasted terrible in order to be easy to eat.

It was as hard as a rock.

hard to swallow.

"If you don't think about it too much, it doesn't taste so bad." Lin Yan handed one of the cans to Senofon.

Senofon had absolutely no interest in these canned goods.

"what?"

"cooking."

Senofon actually tried to cook food using those bottles and jars that were once used to kill enemies, but Lin Yan didn't think much of it.

Sorum, however, stared at Senovon in astonishment.

He spoke leisurely, which surprised Sorum even more, as he continued to mix the reagents.

"This won't blow us up, will it? I remember last time we were attacked, you used these to hurt the enemy."

Do you think I'm that stupid?

Senov was still fiddling with those bottles and jars, constantly adjusting the reagents, and the dosage of these reagents had to be precise. There were no measuring instruments, so he still had to measure by hand, which required very precise weighing.

As if by magic, a pale blue flame burst forth.

"Actually, this is equivalent to solid fuel. Do you really think I'd be stupid enough to blow myself up? You're seriously underestimating me."

"Seems pretty good."

"Okay, we underestimated you."

"We are judging others by our own petty standards."

"It actually caught fire, that's really good."

"It turns out it's something like solid fuel. I thought it was a substitute for explosives."

"If I were to cook with explosives," Senovon said with a laugh. "I would be hopelessly stupid."

"You guys can study it slowly, I'm not interested."

Lin Yan didn't care about any of that, nor was he interested in the light blue flame. He could swallow leftovers or unpalatable food without hesitation.

He was just a passerby in this world, but he still had to live on in order to return to the place he truly wanted to go back to.

Only then can he live up to the expectations of those who love and protect him.

Whether it's Angel Yan, Qi Lin, or Asuna... these people who met and parted ways with him have shaped who he is today.

"Actually, you don't need to be so resistant. It's a necessary part of signal flares, whether it's the 'Red Star,' 'Green Star,' or 'Yellow Star.'"

"Speaking of Shirahoshi, what exactly happened with our signal flare yesterday?"

"That's right, no reinforcements. Is it really because they didn't see Shirahoshi?"

"If it really is Shirahoshi who has a problem, then we really need to investigate it thoroughly."

"That's right, the white star is our only means of transmitting signals over long distances."

"Yes, it plays a crucial role in combat."

This is true.

In that world.

Without any long-distance communication methods, the only way to send simple messages was through signal flares. This is similar to how people in Lin Yan's world used beacon fires to transmit signals.

This is just a bit better than beacon fires and smoke signals.

Lin Yan is currently eating boiled beans, which are a little salty, but not too bad.

“Those things are not for us to consider. The military police will handle them naturally. Now we can confirm that they are indeed members of an anti-establishment organization.”

"Those people must have used despicable methods."

"Yes, they must be trying to sabotage this plan."

"Sorum said."

"Actually, we don't need to be so pessimistic. Besides, there are soldiers stationed in the industrial city, so they have no chance of succeeding."

"You're quite optimistic."

"Even pessimism is useless."

"Actually, the members of those anti-establishment organizations are not heinous criminals; they are just ordinary civilians."

Lin Yan agreed with this point.

Many of the participants and even organizers of uprisings throughout history came from impoverished backgrounds; they had neither official titles nor wealth. The only thing they could hold onto was their beliefs.

Another point is that these people must have been oppressed.

Of course, as for the situation of those in anti-establishment organizations...

That remains to be seen.

"The current map is not very comprehensive; some villages are not even marked, which is a blessing in disguise."

"You're right, we really were lucky."

“The tax system in Shiganshina is particularly favorable, which makes some people feel indignant and think that the world is unfair.”

Is it really just a matter of feeling that welfare is unfair?

Lin Yan, however, did not think so.

When a group of people live in constant hunger, they become increasingly irritable. As more and more irritable people gather, it's like a powder keg ready to be ignited. The accumulated resentment grows until it's finally set ablaze.

"In any case, these matters should be handled by the military police."

Lin Yan said calmly.

Sorum, however, glanced at Senovon dismissively and said, "I think you have some kind of shady relationship with them."

"Don't try to smear me, okay?"

"That's slander! You say I have some shady relationship with them, but what evidence do you have?"

Sorum interrupted Senovon, saying sarcastically.

"That's hard to say. If you go to the military police, you should be able to confess everything."

"Why are you so determined to harm me? What have I done to offend you?"

Senofon was also furious.

Lin Yan didn't seem to care about their argument.

He thought it was just a village at most, but he didn't expect that its area was comparable to that of Shiganshina District, and its population reached 50,000.

The level of prosperity here is in no way inferior to other places, which is something Lin Yan did not expect.

This is the size.

To carry it out so discreetly is indeed no easy feat; it would be impossible for any force other than the King's government to accomplish.

Does the King's government have some other conspiracy?

Lin Yan thought to himself.

"The scale here is truly extraordinary, and the scene before us has exceeded our expectations."

Sorum looked at the huge waterfall in front of him.

Hard to imagine.

And the mountains behind the waterfall.

That magnificent waterfall is easily 500 meters high, and its vastness is truly astonishing. It is absolutely beyond human control; it is a gift from heaven. This is a perfect storm of favorable timing, location, and human effort.

Besides this enormous waterfall.

Another landmark of this industrial city is the steel mill.

"A steel mill? Is it that big?"

"What a magnificent building."

"I never imagined that the King's government could undertake such a project, and why they would keep it a secret from everyone. Why is that?"

It was truly a magnificent structure, and the waterfall was the sole source of power for that enormous building.

“It’s incredible.”

Corina was so surprised that she couldn't speak properly until now, and only now did she manage to utter her last sentence.

"This is nothing like our workshop. Are we really going to work here? I hope so."

"If we had a factory of this size as a backup, there would be no problem with delayed delivery."

Corina was thrilled.

She was thinking that this way Lin Yan wouldn't be troubled. He would be very happy to see such a large-scale factory and such advanced facilities.

If Lin Yan is happy, then Ke Lina will be happy too.

This is what the little girl is thinking.

"It would be great if we could standardize the procedures."

"The furnace firing is over, so we're not far from the end of the industrial city era." Corina was really excited.

Lin Yan corrected him.

"That's coke."

"Coke?"

"That's fuel."

"fuel?"

“Yes,” Lin Yan said. “With a converter, we should be able to forge new alloys… By the way, you mentioned before that there are materials in the industrial city that are even more interesting than Black Gold Bamboo. Are you talking about Ice Blast Stone?”
