Chapter 73 Chapter 073【VIP】
"By the way, the temperature outside can rise to over 60 degrees?"
"What's the temperature now? Isn't it just a matter of time before it reaches 60 degrees?"
Amidst the discussion, Professor Zhang and Professor Fu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Now that we've contacted City F, we need to inquire about the situation there. That way, we can have more accurate information about the future."
"Well! How is your research on wireless communication grafted onto personal identity cards going?" Mingzhu asked.
"We weren't into this before, so it's been incredibly difficult to make progress," Professor Fu sighed. "But Old Feng has always been involved in communications. I think with him around, he'd be able to make more progress than we are."
"Then Professor Fu, is the Old Feng you mentioned in City F?" Mingzhu asked curiously.
"No," Professor Fu replied. "It's in G City, which is adjacent to F City. But before the apocalypse, I heard that Lao Feng was planning to go to A City. I don't know if Lao Feng is in A City or still in G City."
"Or maybe they fled to F City!" Yu Xiaowan interrupted. "After all, G City and F City are connected. And F City isn't as prosperous as G City. When the apocalypse broke out, G City was much worse off than F City. Many survivors in G City migrated to F City."
Professor Fu and Professor Zhou were both stunned; they had never considered this possibility.
I have to admit that what Yu Xiaowan said was not just a possibility, but a high probability.
"Let's wait until the business team from City F returns," Qin Mingyue said. "In this weather, unless you have ice-type abilities, no one would dare to go out."
"Professor Zhou and Professor Fu, we still need to continue contacting City F. What if City F has some cutting-edge technology we don't know about?"
Mingzhu said, seemingly casually but with deep meaning, "After all, you two have tried so many times, and you only managed to contact City F."
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
This time, the silence wasn't heavy; it was even a bit relaxed. After a while, Professor Zhou and Professor Fu said their goodbyes, and Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan continued to eat breakfast. After breakfast, Qin Mingyue and Yu Xiaowan chatted and laughed as they headed to the market.
Mingzhu stayed at Taoyuan Inn to settle accounts with Jin Suanpan.
The accounts are reviewed weekly and settled monthly. This week's revenue was 930 million Starlight Coins. 800 million of this came from selling the Ice House blueprints, while the rest came from nutritional supplements, fruits and vegetables, cold weapons, cloth, and other items.
"As expected, seasonal items are in high demand. As long as the price is right, no, even if it's a little bit more expensive, people will rush to buy them."
Golden Abacus: “…”
"Your money isn't just a little bit expensive," Jin Suanpan complained. "It's very expensive."
Mingzhu: "That's impossible. I need a lot of Starlight Coins to buy what I need."
"We're still waiting to reach the maximum level," Jin Suanpan added. "Many things can only be purchased after the base reaches the maximum level."
"Then I can't go either." Mingzhu said helplessly, "Besides the population limit, it still takes time to settle. If it were just the population limit, I would have ridden my beloved motorcycle long ago, whizzing around picking up people from all the major bases and bringing them to Taoyuan Base."
Jin Suanpan: "You can research the levitating train now."
Mingzhu: "...In my previous life, I graduated from the Combat Command Department, not the Mecha Department or the Interstellar Fortress Construction Department. I don't even know how to build a hover train."
Jin Suanpan: "You've been on the front lines of the Zerg battlefield for decades, why didn't you learn this on your own?"
"...I'm so sorry." Mingzhu chuckled, his face darkening. "I've learned everything, but I haven't learned how to build a hovertrain. In the interstellar world, mecha manufacturing is the high-end market. Hovertrains don't require any technical expertise at all. They're just a technological product for the masses."
Jin Suanpan: "So you've put the cart before the horse and haven't learned anything."
Mingzhu: “…”
"Okay, I did put the cart before the horse. But I didn't know that I had been living peacefully in the interstellar space for decades, and then I woke up and found myself in a different place."
"Perhaps all this has been foreshadowed!"
"Hmm. To put it simply, I traveled through time in the wrong place at the beginning, and then decades later, the infrastructure system was established, allowing me to travel through time again."
"Then...should I observe a moment of silence for you?"
"Don't say that. It really makes me feel bad." Mingzhu said helplessly. "So, now I've learned to go with the flow. This isn't being a salty fish, but rather a calmness that comes from having seen all the vicissitudes of life."
"Do you think I'm stupid, or smart?" Jin Suanpan raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're the first person to describe laziness in such a refined and elegant way."
Mingzhu: “…”
Mingzhu, with nothing to say, ran away dejectedly to do his own thing.
In fact, in addition to special drawings such as the wooden ox and chariot, there are even more special drawings such as the wooden bird and flying dragon.
As the names suggest, the Wooden Ox and the Chariot run on the ground. The Wooden Bird and Flying Dragon, on the other hand, fly in the sky. In this respect, Mingzhu's luck wasn't particularly good. After all, he didn't get the Wooden Bird and Flying Dragon blueprint during the midnight special limited-time flash sale, and the Cross-Space Mall didn't sell any Wooden Bird and Flying Dragon blueprints.
Mingzhu could only hope that his luck would improve and he would get the blueprint for the Wooden Bird and Flying Dragon. By then, the ancient version of the "Hovering Train" would not be a dream.
", very helplessly said: "There is no way to go, the Trans-Space Mall doesn't sell it anymore."
"Then when will the host make the wooden ox and carriage?"
"Isn't that Silver Hammer's job?" Mingzhu was shocked.
"Silver Hammer is a silver card character, and the wooden ox and chariot he creates is unlikely to have special buffs."
Mingzhu: FF? "
"That's right!" 184 said, "Host, don't make a fuss!" He continued, "Buildings and items constructed with special blueprints all have buffs. Buildings always have buffs, and items constructed with special blueprints also have a certain chance of having buffs. Of course, if the builder is a gold card character, the chance is high. Otherwise, it's very low..."
"That's why the Commander suggested the host do it himself," 184 added. "This way, the chances of a 'Wooden Oxen and Horses' crafting will be higher than Silver Hammer's!"
Mingzhu: "? "
184: "It seems to be a sprint buff."
"Well, it seems pretty good." Mingzhu smiled, but did not refuse. Instead, he found Yin Dachui and made the wooden ox and carriage with him.
Just like that, a few days passed by. The temperature outside continued to be hot, around 50 degrees.
Such weather has turned the outside world into a complete sweltering mess. Except for Taoyuan Base, the power systems of other bases have been paralyzed.
Electric air conditioning equipment completely stopped working. People huddled in the shade, wrapped their mouths and noses with wet towels, but were still suffocated by the heat wave.
Fortunately, the vast majority of bases chose to purchase the ice room blueprints. Some wealthy bases even bought at least ten of them.
And in front of the members of the merchant team coming out of Taoyuan Base, he chose a location and tore up the blueprint of the ice storage room.
A magical scene appeared. Countless cats fell from the sky. They had different body shapes, but the same thing was that they were all carrying various construction tools. Even the larger cats, such as Maine Coons, leopard cats, etc., were carrying cement, stones, wooden boards, etc., and going in and out of the area covered by white fog.
Just wait for 8 hours and it will be time to witness the birth of a miracle.
Every base manager who purchased the ice room blueprints was amazed by the magical scene. Some even lamented that it was no wonder that the online rumor that the person in charge of Taoyuan Base was not from the blue planet, but an alien. Just based on this amazing magic, it was definitely not human.
Mingzhu had no idea that the merchant group that had come out of Taoyuan Base had caused him to be expelled from the human race. But knowing that was fine, as Mingzhu wasn't considered a human.
Mingzhu was busy now. The team that had gone to City F had returned with good news. Professor Feng, whom Professor Zhou and Professor Fu had been thinking about, had actually come with the team to Taoyuan Base. He had immediately joined Professor Zhou and Professor Fu in their research.
