The meeting lasted the entire afternoon.
Lu Yuan didn't know what had happened between them, but he felt that the atmosphere had become a little strange.
The two sides started arguing and fighting loudly, banging on tables and hitting things; they almost came to blows.
On his way back, Lu Yuan heard a constant thumping sound coming from the rooftop, and he felt a sense of helplessness.
When Lu Yuan saw Qiao Lin walking upstairs with an angry look on her face, he casually asked, "What happened? Why did you start arguing during a meeting?"
"Sigh, it's all about food. We finally discovered a strategic plan of the Blue Star people, and we were planning to take action, but those guys are all cowards like women!"
We're practically starving, and they're still so cowardly. What are we going to eat and drink in the future? They have no idea what to do, they just want to eat and drink their fill. Are you kidding me? We'll have to take all this stuff from other people!
After saying that, the other person turned and left angrily.
Lu Yuan smiled helplessly and went back to his room to prepare dinner.
When Anna and I were having dinner and discussing this matter, Anna suddenly brought up an idea.
"I heard about this while I was out today. I heard that they seem to be planning an operation to intercept the Earthlings' supply ship."
It's said that in March of 4040, a large supply ship will be passing by at sea, and it's very close to us. There are no Earthling strongholds there, so we can easily take down their ship!
Lu Yuan was somewhat shocked; he hadn't expected Anna to know more than he did: "Who told you about this?"
"It's just that a few of us women get together. You know these wives of officials, when we're bored, we get together and, besides talking about which clothes look good, which perfumes are good, we talk about those things between men!"
Lu Yuan nodded gently. He was used to their relationship; they were husband and wife in name only, but in reality, they had no relationship whatsoever.
"The plan for March 1940 is less than four months away from here. It'll be almost 1946 already!"
"Who says otherwise? We don't have much time left. We've split into two factions. One is the radicals, who have been preparing for this plan for far too long and have been training for just as long!"
"But those conservatives started acting cowardly. They were worried that if they couldn't defeat the Earthlings and their location was exposed, the Earthlings would send people over and blow up the underground city, which would be a real problem!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "That's true, there's danger in whatever we do. Sigh, let's see what they decide in the end!"
Anna leaned closer and whispered, "Actually, I heard that this batch of supply ships has a lot of high-tech equipment."
If we get our hands on these things, they can improve our lives. For example, large-scale road paving equipment and underground drilling equipment are very important to us. I think we should get involved and take action!
Lu Yuan was stunned after hearing this: "What do you mean? We're just farmers, how did we get involved in their operation?"
Anna chuckled softly, then tugged at Lu Yuan's clothes and whispered in his ear, "We can donate money. If we donate, we can support one side."
Right now, everyone is donating to the faction they support. They'll definitely be holding elections in a few days, and the decision of whether to go to war or not will be made by the entire nation!
Lu Yuan slapped his thigh: "No wonder those people have been asking me to borrow grain these past two days. So that's what it was about! Luckily, I didn't lend them any grain!"
"Haha! It doesn't really matter. What they want is a large amount of grain. The few dozen kilograms of grain that we have stored at home are of no use at all. By the way, I heard that their ship is also carrying a lot of chemical elements. Those things might be very useful to us!"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart stirred: "That's right, those things are said to be quite useful, so why don't we join in? I don't think it's a problem to fight them, I have high hopes for the fighting power of these underground armies!"
"Their military equipment, especially soft weapons, is severely lacking! They also have limited training supplies. Their training requires a large amount of food, which the lower ranks have to supply!"
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples: "How about this, we can plant some crops in our area first, and then use that to support the army!"
The two hit it off immediately and finally made a decision.
Lu Yuan immediately gathered his team and laid out his entire plan. Without hesitation, everyone agreed that the medicinal herb seeds and fruit and vegetable seeds they had brought had all sprouted. However, due to insufficient soil, they were currently being nurtured in incubators.
When Lu Yuan shared the plan, everyone agreed. Their supplies were extremely scarce. When they lived in the old tenement buildings, although the living conditions were poor, they were generally not lacking in supplies.
Upon arriving at this place, the situation became even more dire, as they lacked even the most basic supplies.
They usually eat communal meals and also grow crops.
They didn't even have land to grow crops; it was all sand outside. They had to dig very deep tunnels to reach other places to dig out soil.
However, digging up that soil is very time-consuming and requires traveling to very, very far places.
Moreover, there are some places where digging is not allowed, because if you accidentally dig through the upper rock layer, it could cause the entire underground layer to collapse.
Therefore, after repeated exploration and confirmation by geological experts, they demarcated an area, then dug up the soil inside, and the amount extracted each day was limited; once the limit was exceeded, work was immediately stopped.
Lu Yuan and his people now have a large population of 120,000, but only one-third of them own their own land, and each person has less than 200 jin of soil.
After making this decision, Lu Yuan planned to find some soil and then plant their own crops.
After the plan was submitted, the experts quickly gave their approval, requiring Lu Yuan to find a new location for exploration.
After arranging things at home, Lu Yuan immediately led his team to a location more than 20 kilometers away to conduct an excavation.
