Then, Lu Yuan looked at his mother and Xiao Shan's mother.
"Mom, how many sheep are left in our farms?"
Xiaoshan's mother and Lu's mother exchanged a glance, then Xiaoshan's mother nodded and whispered to Lu's mother, "Go ahead and say it!"
Lu's mother nodded, then took out her tablet to check the data: "Xiao Yuan, we still have more than 10,000 sheep left!"
"Oh, what about the stored wool and fabrics?"
At this moment, Kong Hanting, who was sitting not far away, quickly took out her tablet computer to check the data: "We currently have more than 50 tons of sheep wool left, but it is all unprocessed. The processed wool has been basically made into sweaters and stored! There are about 100,000 sweaters now! There are more than 700,000 cotton-padded coats! And about 1 million sets of various quilts and bedding!"
"Yes! The quantity is still acceptable! We've informed the factories to ramp up production of cotton-padded clothing and bedding, trying to increase output as much as possible! Because once we go out, we'll be facing these frigid weather conditions!"
Kong Hanting nodded immediately, and then quickly wrote down Lu Yuan's request on her tablet.
Then Lu Yuan discussed with the people from other departments and decided to expand the number of factories. Previously, there were less than ten wool textile factories here, but in order to produce the things that everyone could use as soon as possible, Lu Yuan discussed with everyone and decided to increase the number of wool textile factories to three hundred.
The number of three hundred factories will not have a significant impact on the overall space city. In the past, this would have been unlikely, since building factories would require various materials.
The source of these raw materials is mainly ore from mines. Refining these ores requires a large number of smelters, and forging plants and assembly plants will also have to work. So this is the current situation in Lu Yuan's space city.
It's not that they don't want to build more, but it's simply too much of a hindrance to the whole system, and they simply don't have the capacity. Although the city's population has reached seven million, its productivity is extremely low.
The housing problem in cities has not yet been solved, so most of the labor force is concentrated in the construction of new cities. If they want to do something else, they have to consider whether it is suitable for them.
However, Lu Yuan no longer has this worry, because he recently acquired equipment from hundreds of wool textile factories in an abandoned industrial area. Now that they have this equipment, they don't need to worry about having too many people involved in the construction of the factory.
Moreover, they have no shortage of raw materials. After all, the species being raised can be changed at any time in the central area. If anything is lacking, they can simply bring the animals over, and the breeding speed is very fast.
After agreeing on that, Lu Yuan continued, "There's another problem: escaping the underground fortress! The distance above us is about a thousand meters. Reaching this place is manageable for a few people, but there are over a million people in the upper echelons who need to be relocated. Taking so many people with us is going to be difficult! So I'm asking for everyone's opinion: should we send them into the dimensional space, or let them gradually make their way out?"
After speaking, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to everyone. He wanted to solicit everyone's opinions. Although this dimensional space was his own and Lu Yuan could make a decision on his own, it would definitely affect their lives if so many people entered the dimensional space.
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan and fell silent. Seeing their reaction, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He could already sense their feelings; their silence meant they didn't want these people to enter the dimensional space.
However, if they don't enter the dimensional space, it will delay their departure from the fortress. Thinking about it this way, Lu Yuan felt that everyone seemed to have really gotten used to living like hamsters.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan said, "Everyone, I have something to say to you all!"
Everyone looked up at Lu Yuan, wondering what he was going to say.
Lu Yuan sighed softly and said, "Actually, although everyone's life seems very peaceful now, you still need to go out and adapt. This space is good, but it hides too many unknowns. I don't even know if this space can last forever, so everyone must make good use of this space!"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the old man sat down and nodded gently: "Xiao Yuan is right. Although we have millions of people here, we still have to go out sooner or later! If we can't adapt to life outside as soon as possible, then if something really happens here one day, we'll be in a panic!"
Lu Yuan looked at the old man with a slight smile. It has to be said that the old man was shrewd and understood that although this place was extremely comfortable, it was not their territory.
Even Lu Yuan can't control this place now. If the space here were to collapse one day, everyone would be doomed.
Then the people below began to change their attitude.
"I think Mr. Lu is right. We need to get used to life outside! Why don't we let them in? We can all tighten our belts and endure some hardship to improve our adaptability!"
