Chapter 236 Flower Boat and Ghost Academy
At the entrance of the underground arch under the Crystal City Ghost Lighthouse, three people were having a discussion in a special underground boat.
Uluru was trembling a little.
The other two speakers had extraordinary backgrounds.
One is the prophet chosen by the White God, a former martial monk and ghost doctor, Ms. Yao Pu. She now also resides in the Ghost Lighthouse, and has been working hard to push the ghosts of the empire out of the tower and rebuild this old capital of the empire.
The other is Huang Jue, a wise man from the bully locust clan. He was appointed as a prophet by the god Yao. He led his clan to break free from the constraints of instinct and found a way to integrate into the Yao civilization.
The remaining locust swarms gradually evolved into today's killer locusts. Most of them are ignorant and only know how to plunder food, and often kill each other for food.
Uluru was actually a little nervous in front of the two prophets.
"...Mr. Uluru, what do you think?" Huang Jue looked at him.
The Wuji man froze, and he took out a notebook and wrote on it with a feather pen: Are you talking about the problem of locust swarms? "Yes."
The locust is much smaller than a human. It lies on the seat, the two linear antennae on its head swaying gently, and its compound eyes look intently at the Wuji people in front of it.
Uluru thought about it.
After a series of reconstruction and reorganization, Crystal City has now completely driven the locust swarms out of the city. With the guards of fire totems and green roses, the locust swarms have also been cut off from sneaking in from underground.
However, there are still a large number of insect swarms lurking outside the city, and they may emerge from the ground at any time and attack the citizens of Crystal City along the way.
This is the most serious public security problem at present, which not only affects the residents of Crystal City, but also threatens the merchants and workers who come here from other cities to trade.
The martial monks cleared out tens of thousands of locust swarms, but because the killing locusts have extremely strong reproductive capacity and do not mind cannibalism, the dead simply became food for the living.
The cleanup operation outside Crystal City lasted for several months, but the results were mediocre.
Huang Jue thought that since the gods did not destroy this tribe, it meant that they had some value. In dealing with disasters, it is better to relieve them than to block them.
It proposes using the bully locusts to communicate with the local killer locusts - the two are the same source and there is no barrier to communication between them.
After years of fighting in the local area, the killer locusts have formed various groups. The styles of the groups in different regions are also very different. Some locust groups are steady and conservative, some are radical and crazy, some are roaming and hunting, and some are keen on stealing.
Huangjue believed that they should find a group among them that could be recruited and make use of them for Crystal City's benefit.
In this way, the movements and intelligence of the killer locusts will be very clear, and every additional group of collaborators means fewer potential enemies and threats.
It has tried and found that some of the killer locusts are willing. The harsh and barren life in the wild and the precarious life-and-death hunting are not what all locust swarms want.
Huang Jue also stated his intentions very frankly.
It is not only for the sake of Crystal City, but also to allow the killer locusts to gradually get rid of their primitive life of drinking fur and eating blood, just like the bully locusts in the past, and enter the civilized circle.
Of course, changing the way a group of people live is not an easy task and requires a gradual approach.
…
Uluru wrote a sentence on a piece of paper with a pen, then picked up the paper and showed it to the two prophets.
——I think it’s a good idea to try it with Huazhou.
"Is this the new type of land-traveling boat? I came here in a hurry and haven't had a good look at it yet."
Huangjue flew out from the side exit and observed from mid-air.
Looking down from the air, this shuttle-shaped boat was of medium size, like a paddle boat without sails, stranded in the mud.
What makes this shuttle-shaped boat different from other fully enclosed land boats is that three tall green roses are planted on the top of the boat, and they watch over each other at equal distances.
The brown and yellow ground boat has thorny branches and green petals growing on it, which has a unique and magnificent beauty.
Huang Jue immediately understood the ingenuity of this ground-moving boat.
It flew back to the boat and said in amazement: "Using green roses as defensive weapons, whenever a swarm of locusts attacks, they will be attacked by the sharp thorns shot out by the roses... What an amazing and ingenious idea!"
"Uluru is a genuine genius." Yao Pu said with a smile, "This is certified by Fabiani."
Uluru turned the page with his fingers, revealing the writing on the next page.
——The green roses cultivated by Lord Pinkman are not picky about the environment, are easy to transplant, have a gentle temperament, and can grow tenaciously as long as there is soil and water.
——The most difficult part is actually the transformation of the ground boat. The ground environment is completely different from the underground environment. Only the bottom of the ground boat can touch the soil and stones. Many Wuji people participated in the improvement, but the speed of the flower boat has never been improved. It is slower than a camel and can only sail on flat areas.
“It’s just a minor issue and it doesn’t matter.”
Huang Jue said: "It is much more durable than mules and horses. As long as it is operated by the Wuji people, it can not only ensure the safety of the passengers inside, but also transport the goods intactly. It is really an epoch-making vehicle, incredible!"
"The idea of Uluru is more than that."
Yao Pu said for the Wuji geologist: "He wants to use the flower boat to recapture the abandoned farmland, protect the farmland by planting green roses, and gradually restore the planting area outside the city."
Huang Jue sighed: "Indeed, this is the long-term solution. Crystal City will surely be revived, and the Flower Boat will become an extension of this city."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Uluru breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had met many heroes with his teacher Fabiani, this was the first time he faced one alone.
If it weren't for the teacher's wife, Ms. Yao Pu, he felt that he would not be able to explain it clearly.
But whether it is recruiting and assimilating locust swarms or building flower boats to expand the rose planting, it all relies on Crystal City's own strength, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower.
Ms. Yao Pu has taken a crucial step in connecting and attracting the outside world and stimulating the advantages of Crystal City itself.
Uluru believes that what she did laid the foundation for everything that followed.
"Let me tell you about my progress as well."
Yao Pu tapped his forehead with his finger armor, and the noise in the armor became slightly less.
"Not long ago, I have formally reached an agreement with Qiu Biluoer, the head of the Yaocheng Temple Society, Shi Bao, the prophet of Yancheng, the mayor of Tonghai, and the mayor of Saniluo, Chapman."
"The Crystal City Ghost Lecture Hall will be officially held regularly in the three cities."
"The lecturers are all experienced survivors of the Empire's ghosts. The Fifth Dreadnought Empire is very accomplished in military science, pharmacy, architecture, and casting and smelting. The lecturers will also teach courses in these areas and impart the valuable knowledge accumulated by the Empire."
"The city that listens to the lecture will pay a sum of money, part of which will go directly to the lecturer. Those who give excellent lectures will be hired as professional ghost lecturers. They will not only give lectures at the Lighthouse in Crystal City, but also give lectures in various cities on tour."
Yao Pu paused and said, "In this way, the nearly 100,000 permanent ghost residents of Crystal City can all give full play to their abilities. As long as they have acquired knowledge and experience, they can cash it in for wealth, fame, and dignity."
"The precious knowledge left by the empire should not be buried. It is a good thing to circulate it."
She smiled and said, "By combining what we have done, Crystal City will surely recover quickly. Coupled with the direct revenue from glass products, this city will become better and better, far beyond the imperial period."
"By then, maybe this place won't be weaker than Yaocheng and Yancheng."
As the three were discussing how to further utilize the Empire's legacy, a white light appeared on the Ghost Lighthouse.
"This is……"
After Yao Pu confirmed it again and again, he shouted in surprise: "Wonder, a new wonder has been born in Crystal City!"
"This is... Ghost Academy."
"Ghost Academy! God gave it the name!"
All three of them became excited.
They could all clearly feel that the Ghost Academy, which was evolved from the Ghost Lighthouse, had a more powerful force than before. This would be a sign of the Crystal City's resurgence.
