7 PM.
A bonfire party began in the villa's courtyard.
This is a banquet exclusively for Jiang Wu's family.
A bonfire blazed in the center of the courtyard, the leaping flames illuminating everyone's faces with a warm glow.
The courtyard, spanning over a thousand square meters, was brightly lit.
Four evolved calves, one mutated white wolf, and four giant birds, two large and two small.
They are of different sizes, yet they live together in harmony.
It was bustling with activity.
Around the campfire, all kinds of barbecue tools are readily available.
Zi Ling and Chen Yin completely changed their usual attitude towards others, now acting like servants, running around doing everything for each other.
As Jiang Wu roasted the meat of a level-two evolved beast, he watched with satisfaction as several women chatted around the campfire.
Bai Feiming, Su Ziyu, Xue Nu, Ning Chuxia, Ye Qingyu.
Each one of them is a perfect goddess.
But now they're gathered together like sisters, eating barbecue and chatting.
If Li Qingxuan, Gan Wei, and Nangong Wenyao were here, then they would be complete.
Jiang Wu then looked at Jiang An'an, who was playing with the white wolf and other evolved beasts.
She rode on the white wolf, her laughter ringing out like silver bells.
She even has her own biological daughter!
What good deeds did I do in my past life to make me so happy in this life?
As they chatted, the conversation turned to the arrangements.
Blood Woman looked at Jiang Wu and said, "Husband, you've taken care of everything in Radiant City. I'll go to the 101 nuclear defense base. I've discussed it with Sister Ye. As long as we eliminate some people, Sister Ye is confident she can control the situation."
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "You and Qingyu can handle this. Also, Feiming, since you've come to Glory City, Ziling and the others can cooperate with you to thoroughly reorganize Glory City and implement the systems from Fuxing City here."
"Also, you should also consider how many people should stay in Glory City in the future. The rest should be transferred to Fuxing City, as Fuxing City has a much stronger foundation than this place."
Bai Feiming pondered for a moment and smiled, "Husband, the current land transportation is complicated and unpredictable. On the one hand, we have to consider the harassment caused by the transfer of zombies from neighboring counties and cities, and we also have to consider mutated plants. The most troublesome thing is the evolved beasts. Those things are not something that ordinary soldiers can maintain."
After a pause, Bai Feiming continued, "So I've been thinking about a question: should we build the underground passage connecting Radiant City and Revival City?"
Jiang Wu was taken aback and subconsciously said, "You mean to use those evolved pangolins to dig an underground tunnel?"
Bai Feiming nodded. "Honey, we've done tests. A modern evolved pangolin, at full power, can dig a passage that is five meters wide, four meters high, and over seventy meters long in an hour. That's wide enough for two cars to drive side by side, and also for a heavy truck to pass through."
"If we disperse the five giant pangolins at five different locations and excavate together, and then connect them, the speed can be increased fivefold, meaning we can dig nearly 400 meters per hour."
"Moreover, under the guidance of Qingxuan and Yanyan, the five pangolins can now move straight in one direction without deviating."
Jiang Wu muttered to himself, "400 meters per hour, four kilometers in ten hours, wouldn't it take more than 160 days of continuous work to open up the two cities?"
Bai Feiming smiled and said, "As long as we provide enough food and their favorite zombie crystal cores, they should be willing to work 14 hours a day. That means it will only take a little over 110 days to complete, less than 4 months. Including the artificial solidification of the tunnel, it will take about 5 months to have an underground high-speed tunnel."
"Once this high-speed corridor connects the two cities, there will be no more worries about land transportation. Moreover, this solution can be used if other key cities are recaptured in the future."
"In a few years, our underground highways will be interconnected, so no matter how rampant the surface zombies, mutated insects, evolved beasts or mutated plants are, it will not affect the connection between cities."
"As the five giant pangolins grow, including the baby pangolin, the excavation speed will further accelerate, and the width will also increase, making the underground highway passage more and more spacious."
"Furthermore, we no longer need to use a large amount of manpower to maintain the surface passages, as we do now..."
Jiang Wu gasped, as if he could see six giant pangolins digging burrows underground all day long, benefiting humankind.
Work 14 hours a day!
This exploitation...
Fei Ming, you were indeed a capitalist before the apocalypse!
However, Jiang Wu still agreed to the plan.
After all, if an underground highway tunnel could really be built, it would be extremely useful for connecting the two cities.
As time went on, even though the growth of the mutated plants was no longer as terrifying as it was in the early stages, it was still much faster than the plants before the apocalypse.
Over time, mutated plants appeared everywhere.
There's also the problem of evolved beasts and mutated insects, which are impossible to guard against.
Furthermore, if the zombies in those cities were to be moved, the more than 600-kilometer road between the two cities could be blocked at any time, severing all communication.
But the highway tunnels dozens of meters underground are completely different.
Even if a wild, mutated pangolin happens to come into the underground tunnel, it can be repaired quickly.
Moreover, it can also recruit new laborers.
Perfect!
"Let's call this plan the 'Underground Expressway Project,' and then you all study it carefully," Jiang Wu gave his final instruction.
Bai Feiming nodded with a smile.
Jiang Wu then added, "In addition, I see that several golden eagles have also become level two evolved beasts. I plan to go to those satellite control centers as soon as possible."
Ye Qingyu then asked curiously, "Satellite control center? Brother Wu, what are you doing in these places?"
Jiang Wu recounted the matter of utilizing the satellites that might still exist.
Ye Qingyu shook her head and said, "Brother Wu, it's no use. I've already researched it. Over time, the microwaves used for current satellite signal transmission have been interfered with."
"I think all the world's satellites are probably out of service by now, unless a new signaling method is developed and satellites are relaunched."
At this point, Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Brother Wu, I have developed a new type of walkie-talkie that can make stable communication within a 50-kilometer range. It can be mass-produced, so that your soldiers can communicate better when they go out."
After hearing Ye Qingyu's words, Jiang Wu and the others were all stunned.
Can a regular walkie-talkie maintain stable communication within a 50-kilometer range?
Isn't this nearly ten times more powerful than the walkie-talkies we commonly use today?
That's amazing!
Jiang Wu swallowed hard and asked curiously, "Qingyu, aren't you a biology major? You know this too?"
Ye Qingyu smiled slightly and said, "I have a wide range of knowledge, but my main achievements are in biology. I only have a superficial understanding of the others."
