[Chapter 210 Winter Festival is coming]
I took Rick around to let him know the layout of Winter Town. I also took Rick to meet Jonah, so that he could find Jonah to replenish food and water when needed.
Then I took Rick to meet Eva and Weatherby Swan.
In the future, Rick can find Eva when he needs to replenish weapons and ammunition; when he brings back survivors from the doomsday world, he will contact Weatherby Swan, the political officer, and Weatherby Swan will be responsible for arranging the new residents.
Finally, Rick chose a very ordinary two-story house as his new home. He can have a good rest here, and then set out to return to his own world, find his wife and children, and officially start recruiting survivors for Winter Town.
Rick knew that he was officially working for the Baron David Glamorgan. The better his work results were, the better his life in Winter Town would be in the future.
Before he found his wife and children, he had found a future to look forward to.
This filled him with hope. After a short rest, he took enough supplies and set out on the road to find his wife and children…
“You want to increase the population of Winter Town through Rick?” Laura saw clearly David’s care for Rick, and immediately guessed David’s idea.
“Yes, such a survivor of the doomsday world is the easiest to attract to Winter Town.” And relatively speaking, these people are also easier to satisfy.
As long as Winter Town can provide a safe and stable living environment, they are happy to live here for a long time.
In addition, most of these survivors of the doomsday world come from “modern society”. They think differently from the vast majority of civilians in this world. They don’t worry too much about the fields and are more willing to accept jobs such as waiters and workers.
“I suddenly hope that there will be more people from the doomsday world in the future.”
People from the movie version of Resident Evil and the world of The Last of Us are worth looking forward to.
There are also worlds like Interstellar where the earth’s environment has changed drastically, causing humans to have to find a new home.
Just as David was thinking about which other worlds met his requirements, Steve brought two wizards to Winter Town.
David found that today was a good day to receive new people, so his original plan could only be postponed.
Fortunately, Steve did not need to spend too much time to receive Kaecilius and Mordo, who he brought with him. He just needed to meet them and say hello.
Steve was responsible for introducing the situation in Winter Town.
After introducing Liadrin to the two mages from Kamar-Taj, the two mages could also follow Liadrin to visit Winter Town.
After sending the two mages away, Floyd came again.
“What happened?”
“Sean-Forrest has written a letter, hoping that we can use the Quinjet to send the Pratt Knight to Iron Tree Castle.”
“Oh, this matter!”
David signaled Floyd to take the Pratt Knight to Peggy directly. Peggy should have enough free time to do this.
As for choosing Peggy instead of Sharon, there was no special reason. It was simply because Sharon had previously flown the Quinjet, so they just changed shifts.
Of course, this is not necessary. If Peggy has something to do and Sharon doesn’t mind, it doesn’t matter if Sharon continues to drive.
As for whether the Quinjet flying directly to the Iron Tree Castle would cause any reaction? The Quinjet has physical stealth capabilities, so there is no need to worry about being seen.
Magical detection… the plane will not land inside the Iron Tree Castle, but will only find a suitable location outside to drop Knight Pratt.
This is because they don’t want to be exposed. In fact, now that the rumor that Winter Town has a flying dragon has spread throughout the entire northern plains, it doesn’t matter if the people of the Iron Tree Castle see the Quinjet.
Watching Floyd leave, David sat behind his desk and waited quietly for a while.
“Isn’t there anything else?”
After making sure that no one suddenly came to find him again, he got up and walked out of Glamorgan Castle, then transformed into a Cybertron body and released his Tomcat fighter.
As the Tomcat fighter ejected from his body and grew larger, David jumped up and landed accurately in the cockpit, and then flew into the sky. The
whole process took only a blink of an eye, and the black Tomcat had already flown above Glamorgan Castle, circled slightly, and flew north.
Although the current Winter Town is many times larger than when there was only one street, the distance from Glamorgan Castle to Stark Manor is not so far that it takes half a day to fly.
He just increased the speed slightly, and the next second he had to dive down to the ground, open the cockpit, jump out of the plane and land steadily on the ground. The
Tomcat fighter plane then gradually became smaller and drilled into the “hatch” opened at David’s shoulder.
Finally, he changed back to human form, raised his hand and greeted Tony in front of him: “It’s rare that you didn’t stay in the laboratory today.”
“…”
Tony witnessed an F14 Tomcat fighter jet rushing straight towards him from the sky, a robot jumped out of the cockpit and landed in front of him, the fighter jet shrank and drilled into the robot’s body, and the robot turned into David’s appearance.
Although he had known it for a long time, this was the first time Tony saw David’s Cybertron posture with his own eyes.
“I suddenly feel that the manor lacks necessary defense measures.”
“Considering that you have important laboratories, weapons and equipment, and ammunition production factories here, I also think that your defense here is too weak.”
Stark Manor is located in the northernmost part of Winter Town. It stands to reason that the possible enemies in Winter Town all come from the southeast, but he cannot guarantee that the north is absolutely safe.
Who knows if someone will deliberately go around in a circle to attack him from behind? And it cannot be ruled out that there are some dangerous monsters or races in the north.
“When the troops are sufficient, the so-called northern outpost must be regularized.” He suddenly felt that the current 150 recruits were still a little too few, and perhaps he could start considering the Spartan II: “Now we may have to rely more on your Iron Soldiers.”
“Considering your situation here, my Iron Soldiers may have to carry enough weapons…” Speaking of this topic, Tony suddenly felt a little speechless.
His Stark Industries had already decided not to focus on the weapons market, but to transform into a high-tech group.
But who would have thought that just because he was interested in the alien city of Winter Town, he came here specifically to build reactors and laboratories, and then he actually picked up the old business of weapons development and manufacturing again.
“No conflict!”
David said that developing and manufacturing weapons in Winter Town and engaging in clean energy, sewage and garbage treatment on Earth were all for the purpose of making the world a better place.
“You mean, you can make this world a better place?”
“Do you think the world is better now?”
“Well, you have a point! The Kingdom of Winter under your rule must be much better than those dirty and backward cities.” Although Tony has not seen it with his own eyes, he has learned about the general situation of this world from others.
Although there are magical powers such as magic, gods, and alchemy, the living standards are not much different from those in medieval Europe on Earth. The living environment of the civilians in this world is just so-so, and there is absolutely no happiness.
In comparison, it is definitely a good thing for ordinary people in this world to let David, a man with “advanced ideas”, rule and build a brand new advanced country.
“What’s more, there is a genius like me to help you!”
“…”
After bragging and chatting for a while, David started to talk about business.
When Tony heard that David actually wanted him to help make agricultural robots, he didn’t know where to start complaining.
It is definitely possible to make it, but the machines you make can do more important things. Isn’t it a waste to use them to plow the fields?
“Those who are responsible for guarding and guarding the sentry posts can farm in their spare time.”
“So… the iron soldiers who know how to farm? Don’t you think this is more wasteful?”
David spread his hands. In fact, even if the Transformers that can transform into agricultural machinery are transformed, the way to really maximize their value is to reclaim the more fertile land around Winter Town, rather than throwing them to Frost Town to farm the barren farmland.
Before the land around Winter Town is fully utilized, no matter what is done, it is a waste of labor.
“I think you might as well send some additional logistics support personnel and let them farm when they have nothing to do.”
In addition to combat soldiers, a sentry post should have auxiliary personnel such as chefs and logistics. Let these people farm casually when they are free, and that’s it. Anyway, they don’t expect much food to be produced from those farmlands.
“The population was not large before, so I didn’t think about it in this regard.” He didn’t plan to send logistics support personnel to the sentry post, after all, the garrisoned soldiers in the sentry post would frequently go back and forth on duty.
After hearing what David said, Tony guessed something immediately: “What? Have you found a new way to increase the population?”
“Well, a new person just came.” Tony told Tony about Rick’s situation, and Tony immediately understood David’s idea.
“Even if Rick can help you recruit civilians to Winter Town, the number won’t be large,
right?” “As long as the population can increase steadily.”
David no longer mentioned the matter of letting the Iron Soldiers do farming, but took the opportunity to mention another thing: the crops in Winter Town have been harvested, and the Winter Festival he mentioned at the beginning is about to be held.
He asked Tony to consider who can be invited to Winter Town and take time to say hello to those people.
“It shouldn’t be too many. I only plan to invite members of the Avengers.”
At most, he will add a few friends such as Rhodey, Pepper Potts, and Happy. But he is not sure whether other Avengers members will bring their “families”? If they bring their families, will Thor call his family from Asgard?
