Chapter 478 Floating Board Foundation
After dealing with Lu Zhiqiang, Xia Xiao ordered his men to rush back to Fucheng as fast as possible.
The sun was setting and the temperature was slowly dropping. They had to get back to the floating city before dark.
There were no accidents on the way back, except for a few fleets that were out looking for supplies.
After returning to the floating city, Xia Xiaoman and his companions saw from a distance a huge float floating on the water. Many people were busy on the float, reinforcing its tightness.
Xia Xiaoman stared at the large floating board and muttered to himself, "Are they going to build a water world?"
"What water world?" Sun Qing asked.
Xia Xiaoman explained Yu Jie's idea of building a water world, "Those floating boards may be the basis for building a water world."
Sun Qing frowned. "I can understand using a floating board to build a piece of land, but how are we going to live on this floating board? The ultraviolet rays outside are so strong, we can't always wear shielding suits and oxygen masks, right?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head, "I don't know. Yu Jie should have thought of these questions."
As they were talking, the ship had already arrived at the docking point. Xia Xiaoman and the others first moved the remaining supplies off the ship, and then dived underwater to return to the underground city.
After returning to the underground city, Xia Xiaoman went to the laboratory as usual. Fu Baiwei's face was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze. Xia Xiaoman asked, "Did you have surgery on your face?"
Fu Baiwei nodded, "The doctor said that once the gauze is removed, I will be able to return to my original appearance." Although it cannot be fully recovered, it can at least recover 70% to 80%.
Xia Xiaoman sat beside her bed. "What are you going to do after you recover? Join the army, or find a job to support yourself?"
Fu Baiwei was silent for a while, then said, "We'll talk about the future later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse came in with a cart, rolled up Fu Baiwei's sleeves and began to draw blood. Xia Xiaoman saw her draw blood again and again, and she drew blood five times in total before stopping.
"Why do you need to draw so much blood?"
Before the nurse could speak, Fu Baiwei explained, "I asked them to do the extraction. They did the plastic surgery for me, and I cooperated with them in the experimental research."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Will drawing blood like this harm your body?"
"It's okay. I can still bear it. This is a deal between me and them. Don't interfere."
Fu Baiwei said so, and as an outsider, Xia Xiaoman had no right to interfere in their transaction.
Xia Xiaoman chatted with Fu Baiwei for a while, and only got up and left when he saw that Fu Baiwei was looking tired.
After leaving the laboratory, Xia Xiaoman went to the official headquarters to report what happened this time. "Sand City may send more people over. I suggest you send people to mine the ore as soon as possible, so as not to be overtaken by Sand City."
"Also, if you are not absolutely sure about the big fish in Bisongling, I suggest you don't provoke it. That big fish is intelligent and holds grudges. It is not so easy to deal with."
Yu Jie nodded, "I see. I heard that you were poisoned when you came back?"
Speaking of this, Xia Xiaoman complained, "Yeah, I don't know where Lu Lanshan got these crooked melons and cracked dates from. None of the three of them are useful. Not only are they useless, but they even dared to poison us."
Yu Jie smiled and said, "We can't help it. We are short of manpower right now. You saw it when you came back. A water world is being built up there, and all the veterans and new recruits have gone up there. I was thinking about whether I should recruit some ordinary people to help. It's good enough that you have these few misfits."
Xia Xiaoman took the opportunity to ask, "Mayor Yu, the water world you mentioned is those floating boards? What are those floating boards used for?"
"Don't underestimate these floats." Yu Jie explained: "These floats are made from the green water plants you brought back. A ten-square-meter float can bear a weight of five tons."
Xia Xiaoman frowned and said, "No matter how good the buoyancy is, it's useless. The environment outside is so bad. Even if we can stand on the floating board, it will be difficult for us to survive outside."
Yu Jie curled her lips and smiled, "Of course it won't work just relying on the float. The float is just the foundation, and the real water world is above the float. We will use the liquid of the water mushroom to create a transparent cover that is cold-proof, heat-proof, and radiation-proof, and put it on the float."
With this cover that protects them from cold, heat and radiation, they can move freely on the float.
"For the next period of time, you won't have to go out to look for minerals. But you still have to go out and transport goods to Yancheng and Xingang City. Yuancheng may also need you to go."
"Yuancheng? Do we also have cooperation with Yuancheng?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Yu Jie nodded. "Last month, we worked with the Xu family to help Yunhai City, Qinghu City, Yuancheng and other cities solve the problem of nanochips, and successfully reached a cooperation agreement."
When Xia Xiaoman heard this, he thought of the underground city No. 2 next door, "Mayor Yu, since you can help other cities solve the problem of nanochips, why don't you solve the problem of Xinfu City No. 2 next door as well!"
"Although the dungeon next door is not very impressive, it's not good to be watched by them all the time."
Yu Jie said, "Regarding the issue of Xinfu No. 2, I already have a plan. Soon, our two dungeons will be merged."
Seeing that she had it in mind, Xia Xiaoman didn't say anything more. After asking about the rest time, he took Maodan away from the official headquarters and went home to rest.
…
The next morning, Xia Xiaoman woke up to a loud noise.
When she sat up, she saw Maodan squatting at the door with his ears pricked up, his tail wagging slowly, listening in the corner very comfortably.
Xia Xiaoman went to the bathroom to wash her face, put on her coat and walked out. Li Yu'e's furious voice came from the corridor downstairs, "Take your things and get out of here! Get as far away as you can!"
Xia Xiaoman walked downstairs and just saw Wen Xu's back as he left.
"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Li Yu'e.
Li Yu'e exhaled a breath of foul air, suppressed her anger and said: "I don't know where Wen Xu got the address of a mine from, and secretly took Ling Xu to help others find the mine."
Those members of the Lingxu Gang who did not join the fleet were already jealous of Li Yu'e and others' income. When they learned that Wen Xu could take them out to look for mines, they wanted to join without saying a word.
Xia Xiaoman was a little puzzled. "Without a boat, shielding suits, or oxygen masks, how did Wen Xu get people out?"
Li Yu'e sighed, "Wen Xu rented a few speedboats to go out. The oxygen masks and shielding suits were also rented from the government."
It wasn't just Lv Lanshan and Yu Jie who could get oxygen masks and shielding suits. Others could also get some shielding suits. In order to make some extra money, those people would rent out shielding suits, oxygen masks and other items they needed when going out. The rent was expensive, and they could earn a lot of points for each rental.
Wen Xu was able to successfully leave the underground city and lead people to find the mine by renting an oxygen mask and a shielding suit.
