Chapter 487 Water Trade
Knowing that there was something wrong with these fibers, Xia Xiaoman sorted out the supplies in the space, cleared some space and threw the seaweed fibers into the space to prevent them from being touched by unsuspecting crew members and getting spots.
After returning to the floating city, Xia Xiaoman immediately reported the problem with the seaweed fiber.
She had always thought that Yu Jie was unaware and was deceived by Yuancheng, so she exchanged these seaweed fibers with Yuancheng. But she didn't expect that Yu Jie had already known that there was something wrong with these seaweeds.
"These spots will only appear if you touch these seaweeds for a long time. If you touch them occasionally, it won't have much impact on your body."
Yu Jie explained: "This seaweed fiber is very tough and can be used in many places. As long as you don't make it into clothes and wear it like Yuancheng did, it will basically not cause any harm to the human body."
"If that's the case, then why does Yuancheng use these seaweed fibers to make clothes?" Xia Xiaoman was puzzled.
Yu Jie pursed her lips and said, "Before making these seaweed fibers into clothes, Yuancheng didn't know that these fibers were poisonous."
There was no need to say more about the rest, Xia Xiaoman could probably guess it. It was nothing more than that the Yuancheng officials didn't know how to tell the Yuancheng survivors that there was something wrong with the clothes they were wearing, so after confirming that the spots were harmless to the human body, they chose to conceal it to avoid being scolded by the survivors.
"Mayor Yu, are those spots really harmless to the human body?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Yu Jie.
Yu Jie smiled meaningfully, "Whether it is harmful or not depends on how you define it. Anyway, it will not affect your life span."
Xia Xiaoman was quite satisfied. It would not affect life span, but it would affect the body. Yuancheng officials were really lacking in virtue this time.
In the subsequent deliveries, Xia Xiaoman put Yuancheng's goods in the space and did not allow his own people to touch them.
…
The Xu family took over the capital, and the nanochip problems in various places were solved one after another. In order to allow Xiaguo to develop again as soon as possible, the capital sent people to assist major cities, investigate the special materials owned by each city, and then let the cities trade, so as to allow each city to develop before the extreme cold.
Because of the policy issued by the capital, there are more cities cooperating with Fucheng, and Xia Xiaoman and his friends almost live on the boat. They just came back from outside to unload the goods, and they will set off to another city the next day.
As the water trade increased, people often traveled on the waterways, and the underwater creatures could not bear the disturbance and all hid in the uninhabited waters. The water surface was much safer than before. Although Xia Xiaoman and his team were busy, it was much easier for them to find mines than before.
After two months of transporting goods, the floating platform above the underground city became larger and larger, and the end of it was out of sight. The staff were ready to install the plates made of water mushrooms. Once all the plates were installed, they could start building the houses in the water world.
The entire Xia Kingdom is busy preparing for the future. Even though it is snowing heavily, people are still working on the water wearing thick winter clothes.
Li Yu'e blew a breath on her palms and rubbed them back and forth. "This weather is too cold. It should be minus ten degrees, right?"
Xiao Zheyu directed the staff to move the goods and turned back to say, "It's minus 15 degrees Celsius. I estimate that in two days, the water surface will freeze over."
The waters of the floating city were eroded by the sea, and the water was constantly flowing, so it was more than ten degrees below zero, but it had not frozen yet. But yesterday, the authorities notified them that there would be a cold wave in two days, and it was expected to drop to at least more than 30 degrees. After the cold wave, a thick layer of ice might form on the water surface.
Li Yu'e looked at Xiao Zheyu, "Xiaoyu, is your leg okay? It's so cold, are your legs uncomfortable?"
Xiao Zheyu shook his head, "It's okay, my wounds are healing well, I don't feel anything."
Seeing that he was not showing off, Li Yu'e ignored him and helped other crew members move the goods. After moving all the goods off the ship, Li Yu'e and the others followed Xia Xiaoman and took the elevator back to the underground city.
After returning to the underground city, Xia Xiaoman went to the official headquarters. This time she was not looking for Yu Jie, but for Lu Lanshan.
Xinfu No. 2 had just been taken back, and there was a lot of mess waiting for Yu Jie to clean up, so Yu Jie simply moved there. The official affairs here are currently under the charge of Lu Lanshan.
When Lu Lanshan saw Xia Xiaoman coming over, he took out a file bag and placed it in front of Xia Xiaoman. "This is the information related to the helicopter. Take a look at it during this time. After the cold wave is over, I will ask someone to teach you how to fly a plane."
After the cold wave, the water surface will freeze and the ships will be useless. If they want to go to other cities to exchange goods, they can drive snowmobiles to nearby places, but they can only fly planes to far places.
Xia Xiaoman never thought that she would be able to fly a plane one day. She curiously opened the document bag and asked, "What kind of plane? Can I take my crew with me?"
"It's a two-seater plane, so you can only take one person with you. As for the other crew members, I will assign other tasks to them."
Helicopters can't carry too much cargo, and Xia Xiaoman has space, so he arranged for Xia Xiaoman to learn to fly a plane. Now airplanes are also very precious, and it is good to arrange a plane to deliver goods. It is impossible to equip each crew member with a plane.
Xia Xiaoman felt a little disappointed when he heard this. He could only take one person with him, and he didn't know if Maodan and Nini could fit in.
After leaving the official headquarters, Xia Xiaoman went to the laboratory. The laboratory no longer needed to draw blood from Fu Baiwei, but Fu Baiwei was still very weak.
When she arrived at the laboratory, Wang Shijin and Chen Peiqiong were already sitting in front of Fu Baiwei's bed. Fu Baiwei had her eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping.
Xia Xiaoman walked closer and asked, "How is she today?"
Chen Peiqiong shook her head. "The nurse just said that Fu Baiwei has been drowsy for the past half month. She can sleep for 18 hours a day, wakes up very briefly, and doesn't eat much."
Xia Xiaoman sighed and said nothing. After sitting in the laboratory for half an hour, seeing that Fu Baiwei showed no signs of waking up, Xia Xiaoman got up and went back.
…
Two days later, the cold wave arrived on time. Through the official video, Xia Xiaoman could see the cold wind blowing outside, and the large clumps of snow were blown away by the wind, and only a white shadow could be seen. In a few minutes, a layer of frost formed on the camera, and soon, the camera was completely covered by snow.
Although the wind was raging outside, the dungeon was as warm as ever and there was no sense of coldness at all.
Xia Xiaoman took Maodan and Nini to the Science Museum to see the three wolf cubs. The five of them gathered together, while Xia Xiaoman found a corner to take out the information that Lu Lanshan gave her and learn theoretical knowledge about helicopters.
