"However, although using the collective strength of the main city is a very clever move, using the slums as a barrier for the main city to delay the attack of the beast tide is a relatively backward and incompetent method. We can understand our predecessors, because they did not develop the star stone technology, so the population carrying capacity of a main city is limited, and some people must be consumed regularly. At the same time, they lack modern scientific and technological weapons, so they cannot effectively eliminate the beasts."
"Although this is cruel, it was indeed the best way at the time. However, in the past few hundred years, Star Stone technology has developed rapidly, and we have developed many technological weapons. In addition, with the promotion of martial arts halls and the prevalence of martial arts among the people, almost everyone practices martial arts, so it is time for another change."
"Looking at the entire human alliance, only Canglong City has done the best in this regard. We no longer regard the population of the slums as a burden and consumables to delay the tide of ferocious beasts. Instead, we use the military merit system to stimulate the centripetal force of the slums and improve their strength. This is a new era method that is completely worthy of learning from other main cities."
The first answer not only reviewed and explained the previous people's response methods, but also praised Canglong City and carried out a wave of "political correctness". I have to say that as an exam answer, it is actually not bad.
This puts some pressure on those who answer later.
Others also realized that the question became more difficult to answer as time went on, because the people before had answered all the questions they could, and the people after could only answer from other aspects, and the further back one got, the fewer spaces were left for answers.
Fortunately, there is a time limit for answering, which makes it impossible for everyone to answer everything comprehensively, giving those behind a chance, otherwise those behind would really be doomed.

"I personally think that we cannot defeat natural disasters, so we must expand our living space to the ocean, build artificial islands in some calm areas free of natural disasters, and then build cities."
... ...
"Well... the people before us talked about how humans should deal with natural disasters, so let me talk about how individuals or a small number of people, such as scientific researchers, should deal with natural disasters. First, we must use all means to determine the type of natural disaster and whether there are any star stones... Then we need to count the number of people and see if anyone in the team is missing..."
... ...
The interviewees answered one after another, and by the time it was the last interviewee except Gu Ran's turn, his face had turned pale and he had completely given up answering.
He was so unlucky that he was ranked last. Now he had no idea from which angle to answer. The people in front of him had answered all the possible angles and had added all the necessary supplements.
Some people even began to criticize the answers given by previous people because they really had no idea how to answer and had to find their own angle.
"I... I have nothing to say." The last interviewee other than Gu Ran opened his mouth and said helplessly and desperately.
He has probably failed this interview, but there is still some time left, so it depends on whether he has a chance to make up for it.
"Okay, now that all the interviewees have answered, let's move on to-"
Before I could even ask the next question, I was interrupted by a voice.
"Wait a minute." Gu Ran raised his right hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Interviewer, you forgot about me. I haven't answered yet."
The interviewer who was interrupted by Gu Ran saw Gu Ran raising his hand and his face froze. Didn't this guy know how to do this question? Why did he suddenly raise his hand
This caught him off guard.
The other interviewers and interviewers looked at Gu Ran with surprise on their faces.
Because Gu Ran had not made any movement before, they all thought that Gu Ran could not answer this question. They never expected that Gu Ran actually raised his hand after everyone had answered.
What's the point of raising your hand at this time
All the angles that can be answered have been answered.
"Okay, please start answering. You have four minutes." The male interviewer said expressionlessly.
Although they were very disgusted with Gu Ran, rules were rules and they would not break the rules and prevent Gu Ran from answering.
Moreover, asking Gu Ran to answer is also to see what he is up to.
"Methods for dealing with natural disasters... If you only answer from a personal perspective, then it's actually meaningless and won't be of much use to humanity." Gu Ran's first sentence made the face of a previous interviewer turn pale.
This guy is here to cause trouble.
"Besides, if you only use the methods of the ancients, it won't be very useful in reality. It's better to become a historian. It's also a respected profession."
Another interviewee's face turned pale.
"Our current methods are still unable to eliminate natural disasters in the bud, so we can only avoid them. Then why don't we focus our research on predicting or promptly discovering natural disasters? Then we can move the entire city away in time to avoid them."
"In this way, we can completely expand the living space of mankind—"
"—Haha, you are really kidding. Do you have any common sense? The mobile city is just a fantasy!" After hearing Gu Ran's answer, an interviewee who had been dissed by Gu Ran before couldn't wait to jump out and laugh at Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was not angry, he just looked at him and said, "Are you trying to say that the energy that humans have now is simply not enough to build an ideal mobile city?"
"You know you're still saying this to attract attention, right?" the interviewer sneered.
The interviewers looked at Gu Ran, their eyes lit up, and they took out the scoring sheets, ready to give Gu Ran the lowest score.
The answer to the previous question was so excellent that they couldn't give it a low score, but now it's different, the opportunity has come.
Naturally, the idea of a mobile city had been proposed by someone, and it was their most respected principal, but even the principal personally rejected the idea in the end.
Because it was too unrealistic, this idea was not widely circulated and was only discussed among a small circle of people at Lyceum University for a period of time.
Gu Ran has a close relationship with the principal, so they are not surprised that he could come up with this idea. However, this is an impossible idea that even the principal himself has rejected. What's the point of bringing it up
What kind of response is this? It's totally useless.
Interviewers have already prepared comments such as "arrogant egomaniac", "unrealistic and not very capable", and "rather than being a researcher, you'd be better off being a fantasy novelist".

"Who said a mobile city is impossible?" Gu Ran's voice suddenly suppressed the ridicule at the scene.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Is this guy serious
Shouldn't he admit his mistake right away? Why was he so stubborn and faced the challenge head-on
The other interviewees were surprised and delighted.
It's good to be stubborn, but it will lead to death sooner.
"The biggest obstacle to the concept of mobile cities is the energy problem, but it is also related to your empiricism. Yes, Xingshi Technology is indeed unable to take on the responsibility of building a mobile city with a population of over 10 million, but why don't we make this mobile city smaller? The difficulty of building a mobile city with a population of 10 million is not the same as that of building a mobile city with a population of 1 million. It is not as simple as simply multiplying it by ten times, but a multiple of ten. The difficulty is exponential."
"Then similarly, if we reduce the size of the mobile city, the difficulty will also be reduced exponentially. If a mobile city with a population of one million is still difficult to achieve, then what about a small mobile town with a population of 100,000 or even 10,000? Is it impossible to achieve this level of difficulty with the current level of human Star Stone technology?"
Gu Ran's voice drowned out the entire place, and the place fell silent for a moment.
Accustomed to living in the main city with a population of hundreds of millions, they think that cities with a population of tens of millions are "small cities", so they have never thought about smaller cities. This has caused their concept of mobile cities to remain at the tens of millions level. When they cannot build mobile cities with a population of tens of millions, they feel that this idea is no longer useful. At the very least, they have to find an energy mineral that is more efficient than star stone.
But for Gu Ran, he has seen cities with populations of tens of millions or millions, and even smaller towns and villages, so there is no blind spot in his thinking.
When Gu Ran heard Xue Xiling talk about the concept of mobile cities, he took it into consideration and felt that the subject was very interesting. He also studied this issue while studying on his own for the past half month.
He was surprised to find that this idea was actually proposed by Xue Yingsong. It was popular for a while after it was proposed, but was later abandoned.
The reason for being abandoned is that humans are currently unable to build mobile cities with a population of tens of millions, and it is considered a completely useless idea.
Although Xue Yingsong proposed this idea, he himself did not seem to be enthusiastic about it. He never made any additional comments on the idea and remained completely silent, leaving it to the world to discuss and verify it themselves. Until it was finally proven that the idea could not be realized with the current Star Stone technology, he did not stand up and say a word.
Gradually, others gave up on conducting further research on this concept, and eventually it became a common element in fantasy novels and was not recognized by the mainstream academic community.
"But what's the use of such a small city? No, it's so small, can it still be called a city? It's just a small urban area, it can't divert much population at all."
Someone immediately issued a rebuttal, which also represents the opinion of the majority.
“Big is strong, big is beautiful.”
This is the aesthetic of city building for most people.
This has also been the inertia of mankind for thousands of years.
But this inertia has now encountered a challenge, and they have begun to think about smaller city sizes.
However, the result of my thinking is still that small cities are useless and only big cities are the best.
"Why is it useless? If a small mobile city can't divert a lot of people, then what about ten cities? What about a hundred cities? Ten million people are divided into one hundred mobile cities, and each mobile city only has 100,000 people. A small mobile city of 100,000 people can be fully realized with the current Star Stone technology. So currently humans can also rely on mobile cities to divert 10 million people, but the cost is too high."
Gu Ran immediately refuted.
He has actually been thinking about the possibility of miniaturizing mobile cities.
Technology is not achieved overnight. Many high-end technologies do not seem so magical at the beginning, but they grow slowly through step-by-step technological accumulation.
What Gu Ran wants to do now is to go from zero to one.
The person who was refuted stammered: "Dividing it into a hundred small cities, this is too troublesome. What can such a small mobile city do?"
But at the same time, others followed Gu Ran's line of thought and began to think about the usefulness of such a small mobile city, even the interviewers began to think about it.
"Why is it useless? Diverting the population is secondary. It is indeed very difficult to divert the population now, but what if we use these small mobile cities as a transit station? Since humans chose the non-disaster area, no one has set foot on that large piece of land except for a very small number of strong people. The land we live on now only occupies a very small part of this land. Who knows how many secrets and treasures are hidden in that vast uninhabited area!"
"Medicinal herbs, minerals, relics, and other treasures we don't know about, aren't these worth exploring? And if we want to explore, then isn't a transit station that can provide supplies very important?"
Gu Ran's words opened up new ideas for everyone present.
Yes, if it is not used for diverting population, but as a transit station for trading and supplies, then it would be very suitable.
Is the disaster zone worth exploring? Is it worth building a small mobile city as a transit point for the exploration
Totally worth it!
The reason why humans withdraw from disaster-stricken areas is because the vast majority of people cannot resist. If they encounter natural disasters, there will definitely be heavy casualties, and it is impossible to build civilization.
But if it is just a small population settlement, then it is not a big problem.
Although the small mobile city is small, it is smaller in size and moves faster. If a natural disaster can be discovered in time, it can definitely be avoided.
For a moment, everyone present breathed hard.
They discovered the blue ocean of scientific research!
If this idea can really come true, then there is no doubt that exploring disaster areas will definitely set off a craze, and behind this craze are countless papers.
But when they thought that the person who started this trend was the bounty hunter they just looked down upon, they couldn't help but feel complicated.
