Chapter 442 Taking Back the Jade Buddha Space
The training program is coming to an end, and the ship specially built for terrain reconnaissance has also entered the acceptance period. As long as the ship and related equipment pass the acceptance, we can prepare to go out.
Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Jiang Yue had not yet delivered the Jade Buddha Space. Xia Xiaoman took a look at the message sent by Lu Lanshan and decided to sell the undiluted meteorite liquid in her hand to Yu Jie when she went to the official headquarters for a meeting later.
After work, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan home. After finishing dinner and packing up, she prepared to go out to the official headquarters.
In the morning, Lu Lanshan sent a message asking her to go to a meeting to discuss the status of the terrain exploration mission in eight days. Xia Xiaoman asked Ye Xiaojie and Xie Yi to go to the meeting together.
Halfway through the journey, Xia Xiaoman received a call from Jiang Yue, "Where are you now?"
"At the elevator, preparing to go to the official headquarters for a meeting."
"What you want has arrived. Wait for me there. I'll be there in about ten minutes." Jiang Yue said and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Xia Xiaoman looked at the time and sent a message to Ye Xiaojie and Xie Yi, asking them to set off a little later.
After waiting at the stairs for about ten minutes, Jiang Yue came out of the elevator panting, "Here, what you wanted." She handed the box in her hand to Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman opened the box and saw that inside was indeed the jade Buddha space she had made, so she took Jiang Yue to the corner.
Xia Xiaoman did not rush to take out the meteorite liquid, but first took out a knife to cut her fingertips and dripped blood on the Jade Buddha space. After a while, she felt the space energy in the Jade Buddha space.
The energy in the Jade Buddha Space was reduced a little. The original space was ten square meters, but now it was eight square meters. It was probably because someone in the capital had someone transfer some of the energy in the Jade Buddha Space.
Xia Xiaoman didn't care. As long as she got the jade Buddha space back, she would have the final say on how big the space in the jade Buddha would be in the future.
She had already thought of an excuse. Jiang Yue had previously told her the method of making a jade space in the capital. If anyone doubted the size of the space in the future, she could just say that she had expanded the space according to the method Jiang Yue had told her. Anyway, there was no way to verify such a thing.
Only after making sure that there was no problem with the Jade Buddha space did Xia Xiaoman return the meteorite liquid that Jiang Yue had deposited with her.
"Someone is coming from the capital? How did they get here?"
Jiang Yue didn't say much, "You will know when you go to the official headquarters for a meeting later. Yu Jie should tell you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, she re-entered the elevator with the meteorite liquid.
The people sent by Mr. Xu were still waiting for the meteorite liquid up there, so she didn't dare delay for even a moment.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoman took back the Jade Buddha Space and went to meet up with Ye Xiaojie and Xie Yi, and the three of them went to the official headquarters together.
When they arrived at the official headquarters, Xia Xiaoman saw Jiang Yue talking to a middle-aged man, with Yu Jie and Lu Lanshan standing beside them. Lu Lanshan saw Xia Xiaoman and the others, said something to Yu Jie, and then came over and took Xia Xiaoman and the other two into the meeting room.
"Mayor Yu will be here later, please wait here for a while."
Xia Xiaoman looked at Lu Lanshan, "Is that middle-aged man sent from the capital?"
"I guess so! He was sent by the Xu family." After Lu Lanshan said this, he was unwilling to say more.
Xia Xiaoman asked again: "How did they get to the floating city?"
"It took us half a month to successfully reach our floating city by driving a small submarine."
It is windy and rainy outside during this period. If you go out by boat without knowing the terrain, it is easy to hit a mountain or capsize.
But the Xu family was anxious to get the meteorite liquid, so after the water outside accumulated to the level necessary to operate a submarine, they set off in the submarine.
Because they were worried that some of the water on land would make it impossible for the submarine to navigate, they chose to drive the submarine to the seaside, then go south along the seaside to Yuancheng, and then from Yuancheng to Fucheng.
The Xu family originally expected to reach the floating city in a week, but because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, they lost a lot of time. Fortunately, the small submarine they drove was modified and could support a maximum of 20 days of sailing. Otherwise, they might have to give up halfway and go back to replenish supplies.
Ye Xiaojie asked, "Can you draw a topographic map of the route they took to Floating City?"
Lu Lanshan glanced at her and said, "They have marked the route, but the map of the route they drove on is not of much reference value to you."
"You want to go into the land to look for mines, but their routes are all along the coast, which you can't use."
Xia Xiaoman said, "Whether it is useful or not is another matter. Let us have a reference first, so that when we explore the terrain in the future, we can also mark it according to their method."
Lu Lanshan sighed helplessly. "Alright! I'll send you the route map later. You guys sit down for a while, I'll go out for a while."
After Lu Lanshan left, Xia Xiaoman whispered, "Since we have a submarine, why don't you let us use it to explore the terrain? Driving a submarine should be safer than driving a ship."
Ye Xiaojie said, "If you want to operate a submarine, the water depth must reach a certain level. We are going to look for mines inland. Given the current inland water depth, operating a submarine is not as convenient as operating a ship."
It took the Xu family from the capital half a month to reach the floating city, probably because they wasted time in the shallow water area on land.
"Besides, building a submarine is more troublesome than building a ship. The officials are in a hurry to go out to mine and collect supplies, so they won't spend so much time building a submarine. When the underground city is no longer short of supplies, perhaps the officials will build a submarine."
As she was speaking, footsteps were heard outside and Ye Xiaojie closed her mouth silently.
After a while, a few strangers came in from outside and sat opposite Xia Xiaoman and the others. They looked at Xia Xiaoman and the others, and Xia Xiaoman and the others also looked at each other.
The people opposite looked like hooligans, and they didn't look like they were from the military or the government. The leader glanced at Xia Xiaoman and Ye Xiaojie, then moved his gaze to Xie Yi, "Were you also hired by Mayor Yu to look for mines outside?"
Xie Yi raised his eyebrows. Did they think he was the leader of Xia Xiaoman and the others? He didn't say anything, but smiled and said, "Yes! You too?"
When the other party heard Xie Yi admit it, he looked a little disdainful. He ignored Xie Yi and took out a dagger from his waist and started to play with it in his hands.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman leaned over to Ye Xiaojie and whispered, "Did the shipyard build two ships?"
Ye Xiaojie shook her head slightly, "There is only one ship, and the materials are not enough."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled. With only one boat, how could these people explore the terrain?
Could it be that Yu Jie wanted to put them on the same boat with the group of people in front of them?
