Return to one of Li Wen's private offices.
Secretary Liu made a cup of tea for the two of them and then walked out.
From the moment Xu Le returned to Zion, their identities had changed and there was a gap between them.
Xu Le has become a member of parliament, and now he can indeed be regarded as one of the most powerful people in Zion.
Li Wen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then stared at Xu Le.
As for the contact between Li Wen and Xu Le, he was well aware that Xu Le often came up with some ideas that seemed unreasonable but were actually amazing.
Just like before, their greatest achievement was the melting pot.
The emergence of the Crucible can almost be said to have completely changed the course of Zion.
Just like what Xu Le once boasted, the plan to subvert the times will make Zion great again.
Although it sounds stupid and immature, the actual situation is... The furnace is really awesome. Even the Red Moon Temple has to admit it.
So this sky city...
"Sky City, could it be a city flying in the sky?"
When Xu Le heard Li Wen ask this, he grabbed Li Wen's hand.
"Uncle Li really understands me. You already know how to answer without me even saying anything..."
Li Wen calmly pulled his hand back and wiped it on his clothes a few times:
"A city flying in the sky? A giant airship. To be honest, we have already prepared for this kind of thing. Xia Libo even provided me with the design drawings..."
Li Wen was still talking there, but Xu Le had no intention of talking to him and just looked at him quietly.
I kept seeing Li Wen and didn’t know what to say anymore.
"Isn't it... a large airship?"
Xu Le shook his head slightly:
"Of course not. I don't know how Uncle Li connected the city with the large airship, but it's obvious that he misunderstood what I meant."
"Is it really a city?" Li Wen still felt a little unbelievable.
"Yes, it really is a city." Xu Le replied affirmatively.
"But the question is, if you want to make a city rise, how much energy supply do you need? And how big is the balloon on it
Have you ever thought that once such a large balloon is punctured, it will inevitably cause it to tilt and it will be extremely difficult to repair.
Even if the balloon can be divided into layers and regions, the overall weight will increase greatly if it is done that way..."
Li Wen started talking again, and Xu Le could see that he was trying to stop him.
Zion really can't stand the current trouble.
But...
"Uncle Li, when did I say I wanted to make balloons?"
"Ah? How can we get into the air without a balloon?"
"Balloons are not the only way to get into the air. If you can get rid of gravity, you can also get into the sky."
"Get rid of gravity?"
Under Li Wen's puzzled gaze, Xu Le suddenly waved his hand, and Li Wen's body floated upwards uncontrollably.
"What did you do?"
The things that floated up with Li Wen included his teacup.
The water in the teacup also floated up, forming a water ball in the air, which then floated freely due to the movement of Xu Le's fingertips.
“By putting an object into an unusual state of zero gravity, or low gravity, it can easily float in the sky.
This process does not require a balloon, but only a little bit of constant energy and some multi-angle propulsion devices to achieve it.
With the Ancient Sound Multi-Core, it is naturally easy for us to do so."
After Xu Le finished speaking, Li Wen also slowly floated down.
He looked at Xu Le with complicated eyes. This guy's sudden action made his heart hurt.
"This kind of thing..."
Li Wen didn't know what to say. Sky City was not like a furnace. A furnace was just an energy-providing device.
He can imagine and think.
But what is Sky City
A city flying in the sky? How should it be planned? How to configure defense, attack power, weapons? How stable is it
If there is no fence, will you accidentally fall down if you stand at the edge
These questions all popped up in Li Wen's mind.
But it is undeniable that he is also full of expectations for a city flying into the sky.
"How do you make this kind of thing?"
“This is indeed something we just thought of, and many aspects are immature, but what is certain is that the Sky City plan has been decided to be implemented.
I have reached an energy supply agreement with Lighthouse. I will provide them with the cheapest energy, and I don't need their money.
Lighthouse is a poor place, so asking for money is meaningless. I want to use energy to exchange for steel and minerals to prepare for the construction of Sky City."
As Xu Le spoke, he had already taken out the material exchange plan that Ai Li had made on the airship.
Li Wen took a few glances and felt something was wrong.
It's called a resource exchange, but the content in this plan is almost like a demand.
"Xu Le, the diplomatic relations between cities are not like the relations between people. This kind of unilateral demands will not bring more than causing dissatisfaction among the people of the other side."
"Um... what should we do then?"
"We need to give them the most basic equality. Aren't they short of energy? Isn't it enough to extend their energy supply for 20 years?"
Xu Le's lips twitched. Twenty years later, no one knew whether the Lighthouse and Zion would exist anymore.
"Okay, then Uncle Li, do you have anything to say about the plan for this Sky City?"
"Since it's a sky city, has the city planning been done?"
"No."
"What about the armor settings and thruster positions?"
"No."
"What about the armed forces and the main control personnel?"
"No."
"So your so-called Sky City Plan is just four words?"
Li Wen finally found the rhythm of the conversation, from being at a loss just now to turning defeat into victory now.
But Xu Le was not very angry. He told Li Wen about this matter because he was counting on Li Wen.
So Xu Le could only say shyly:
"I don't know how to do these things. I can only brag. Uncle Li knows that."
"It's a great skill to be able to make your boast come true. Is that sky city the same as the furnace?"
"The same." Xu Le understood what Li Wen meant and nodded.
With the experience of the Crucible, Li Wen has also understood Xu Le's style.
This thing is definitely feasible, but the core aspects should be controlled independently by Xu Le.
But there is no need to worry too much. Generally speaking, things made by Xu Le can still operate without Xu Le himself, just like a furnace.
Even without Xu Le, the furnace can still operate stably.
In this case…
Li Wen paced in the room, turning back and forth several times.
“How risky is this plan?”
“In fact, as long as the design is complete and the resources are sufficient, it can be said that there is basically no risk.
My idea is to create a sky fortress with enough area to adapt to people's lives and a military area. Of course, it will be much smaller than the one below, but after flying in the sky, the defense pressure of the Kuroshio will be greatly reduced.
After being equipped with ancient sound multi-tech energy weapons, Sky City's self-defense capabilities will be sufficient.
If designed properly, it will become a sky fortress that combines offense and defense.
It has the capabilities of ultra-long-range air strike, camouflage and invisibility, regional movement, etc. This is my idea. "
Listening to Xu Le's assumptions, Li Wen looked at him with a little suspicion:
"Xu Le, tell me the truth, did you really build a fortress like this to resist the black tide?"
"Of course, I have a sworn enemy of weirdness."
"Is it really just the Black Tide? I feel like this thing is a weapon of war."
"Yes, I have absolutely no intention of rebelling against the Red Moon Temple." Xu Le answered seriously.
Li Wen's mouth twitched. He didn't mention the Red Moon Temple!
"Forget it, hold a meeting, hold a meeting, notify them to hold a meeting..."
Secretary Liu, who was standing at the door, felt a little strange, wondering what had suddenly gone wrong with Li Wen.
"But Minister, Councillor Xu Le's reinstatement ceremony has not yet taken place. Aren't you going?"
"Just let him go by himself. Contact Xia Libo and the materials experts of Zion Progressors now. Also help me find some professional urban planning and design personnel, immediately."
"yes."
Although no one knows what Li Wen will do next, Li Wen’s orders have always been indomitable.
…
Compared to Li Wen, Xu Le is much more relaxed.
This is not the first time that Li Wen has been given a name for a plan and then left all the work to him.
The last time the furnace was built, the situation was actually similar.
Li Wen is very capable, and Xia Libo and the others are also very strong.
Therefore, as a non-professional, Xu Le should not bother them and just get the title of chief designer.
After a listless reinstatement, awarding of honors, and swearing in, he finally succeeded in becoming a true Zion councilor.
Next, Xu Le had a power that every member of parliament could exercise.
The right to propose new policies.
Logically speaking, something as big as Sky City would definitely encounter a lot of resistance.
It is only reasonable to put it in new policy proposals.
But Xu Le secretly had another idea, that the resistance might be greater than that of Sky City.
An idea like Sky City would easily get Li Wen's approval. With Li Wen's approval, Xu Le would not need to implement it personally.
A strong man like Li Wen will arrange things properly so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
But there is a high probability that even Li Wen would not be able to accept what he wants to do next.
That is the Ancient God Plan...
In other words, the weird labor force implements the plan.
Xu Le still clearly remembers the cooperation between Cowherd and Rain Girl.
If such ability is used to irrigate the land, it would be simply a magical skill.
This improvement in productivity cannot be measured by the number of people.
Convenience, unmanned operation, concealment, and the ability to operate in wild areas are all unique advantages of the ancient gods.
Xu Le felt that too many were not necessary. Giving him 10 Rain Girls would basically solve the basic food problem for the entire Zion.
Moreover, a monster like Yu Nu is only a level 2 ancient god species.
The Ancient God Species Plan is only the first step of Xu Le's plan, the first step in the implementation of the monster labor force plan. The subsequent plans will depend on the implementation of the Ancient God Species Plan and Xu Le's subsequent research on other types of monsters.
Ancient Yinduo, Red Moon, Outer Gods, Evil Gods, these weirdnesses actually have no difference in Xu Le's view.
Xu Le felt it was a pity to see the countless night demons in the dark land squatting on the ground obediently.
If they could move bricks, then Zion's construction work would proceed quickly.
If I can use it again, I can become a guard or something...
"Forget it, let's be down-to-earth. First, we need to come up with a plan for the Ancient Gods to join Zion. Everything else will have to wait..."
Xu Le pondered for a moment. He actually didn't know much about the ancient gods.
A large part of it comes from contact with the golden toad.
What can I say about Toad’s quack? It’s not bad, but it’s a little greedy.
Brotherhood is still reliable.
The question now is whether Gua can represent the ancient god species camp. After all, it is just a level 3 toad.
The breakthrough to level 4 was due to his own feeding. The golden toad species itself is only level 3.
Can you withstand it
With this thought in mind, Xu Le returned to the furnace and summoned the toad in an empty area where there were few people.
Following a puff of white smoke, the toad looked around for a while.
"Oh, back to your nest, it looks like everything is alright then."
Xu Le knew that Toad was talking about the danger he had experienced in the tree before. He felt a little embarrassed that Toad was still worried about him after such a long time.
"Brother Gua, how are you?"
The toad stared at Xu Le who was smiling, and moved his butt to the side.
"You don't usually talk like this, so I think there's something fishy going on. What do you want to do to me?"
Xu Le looked at the toad in surprise. This guy's brain... is really good!
If this brain is willing to cooperate, it will definitely be of great help to his plan to raise the ancient gods.
"Brother Gua, the thing is, our development in Zion has reached a bottleneck, and it will be difficult going forward."
"Yeah, but what the hell does this have to do with me? I'm not human, and you guys won't stop me from eating earthworms."
“Brother Gua, I have a vision of coexistence between humans and ancient gods. I hope that the ancient gods can live and reside in a safe environment in human habitations.
They will no longer be disturbed by the strange creatures of Gu Yinduo, nor will they be attacked without reason by humans. As long as they do some very simple work, they can obtain long-term stable food and a safe environment.
This is a good thing with huge benefits for the development of the entire ancient god race.
Brother Gua... You don't want the ancient gods to live in dire straits, do you?"
Toad took out a lighter, lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep puff and spit on Xu Le's face.
It was indeed thinking about this matter. Xu Le was too bold.
The coexistence of humans and monsters was something that only happened in the ancient times of our ancestors.
Moreover, it is said that the ancient gods betrayed humans.
This relationship...
"Yeah, that's great, but what do these things have to do with me? I'm just a golden toad with little say, what can I do?"
"Brother Gua, do you know the difference between a toad and a frog?"
"What's the difference?"
“The frog is sitting in a well and looking at the sky. It has feudal thinking and is a negative energy.
The toad wants to eat swan meat, has forward-thinking and lofty ambitions, and is a positive energy.
I think Brother Gua also possesses this kind of positive energy.”
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
