My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1300.0
[Chapter 1272 The canal economy starts, the first wave of passengers from distant places!]
The sky in June in the wasteland is like a fickle girl.
Sometimes it is as bright as summer, and the sun shines all over the earth, making people completely forget the depression of a few months ago.
Sometimes it’s gloomy like winter, with dark clouds and temperatures dropping to around freezing overnight.
Because the time calendar is two months behind the earth, there is still one month before the real summer arrives. However, this does not affect the survivors’ enthusiasm and expectations for future life.
The reason is simple.
One is because the punishment disaster that was originally expected to bring a devastating blow to the New World actually caused very little damage.
If there were a clear statistic, it would probably be far less than the number of players eliminated in the first acid rain.
This unexpected result directly caused all the players who had just migrated to the New World to completely put aside their fears.
With the development of the territorial system, we began to have more ideas about this land.
Second, with the end of the earthquake, the busy spring plowing has begun in full swing, ushering in the busiest stage.
Looking at the entire New World from a high altitude, whether it is the fertile Southern Fire Territory, or the slightly ordinary western wilderness or the central Holy Land, large chunks of cultivated land have been carefully carved out like a chessboard, presenting a vibrant scene. .
In the barren northern ice field, although large-scale planting is not possible, with the support of the “Gypsophila Project”, it is no less busy than other areas.
Under the strong call of Kasheng, eight million workers came out in force and launched an attack on the rich mineral resources.
This move not only greatly enriched the Northern Alliance’s own resource reserves, but also made perfect preparations for the next transaction. Just waiting for the cargo ship to take advantage of the current of the Dragon Fairy River to transport these precious grains Go to places of need and exchange for large quantities of scarce resources.
Of course, when it comes to trading, we have to mention the third most important reason.
The initial prosperity of the canal economic zone.
Following the giant dragon fairy river that winds through the five major plates of the New World, it naturally brings a lot of communication and exchange.
In the past, due to the vast area of the New World and the difficulties of land transportation, contact and exchanges between the major territories were greatly restricted.
Even if the two territories are only 300 kilometers apart, for 99% of the survivors who go out on foot, the distance is almost insurmountable.
This geographical barrier has undoubtedly severely restricted economic development and cooperation between territories.
However, as the waterways of Julongxianjiang were gradually opened up and utilized, all this has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Nowadays, even if the distance between territories has doubled to 500 kilometers or 600 kilometers, thanks to convenient ship transportation, the survivors can easily reach their destinations in just a few days without suffering any hardships along the way. Excessive exertion.
And most importantly, goods finally have a carrier for transportation transactions!
In the past, due to the lack of effective means of transportation, the circulation of goods that could not be carried by humans was greatly restricted. Now, ships have become an important vehicle for cargo transactions, allowing various commodities to reach their destinations quickly and safely.
Even though the major territories don’t actually have any resources to trade, it’s still exciting to go back and forth!
“Hold on, survive this journey, and we will reach Su Shen’s territory today!”
Starting from the dock near Tianyuan territory, it continues to the northwest.
In a water area about 300 kilometers away, more than 20 small boats carrying hundreds of people were sailing hard on the wide river.
It is different from the voyage ship that the survivors spent half a year building at sea.
Only about ten days have passed since the earthquake ended. Territories without industrial capacity can only make some small sampans even if they spend all their money.
If this kind of sampan sails on the river with no wind and waves, it will be okay, but if there is a strong wind on the river, then you can only leave it to fate.
Fortunately, along the way, we learned about the location of Tianyuan’s territory and sent people to find out about it.
A few ships in this territory, a few in that territory, more than ten territories have gathered together a small fleet, and they have a little ability to withstand risks.
It seemed like a monster wind was blowing now. Although more than twenty sampans connected by hemp ropes were up and down and swaying, none of them was directly overturned by the wind and waves.
After a while, the evil wind passed and the river gradually calmed down. All the survivors standing on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.
“Well done, that’s it, we can greatly reduce the risk if we work together!”
Standing on the leading boat, the inspiring captain shouted again.
But even though his tone of voice was very exciting, everyone could still hear the hidden joy.
Yes, they have paid a heavy price all the way here.
Three boats with a total of more than ten people disappeared into this wide river. If you are lucky, you can survive by being washed to the shore. If you are not lucky, you can only wait for a miracle to happen.
“Lord Liu, why don’t we speed up and try to arrive before dark tomorrow?”
A slightly anxious voice came from a ship on the left. Lord Liu who was called nodded slightly, understanding everyone’s worries and expectations, so he responded loudly:
“Okay! Let’s move forward quickly!”
As Lord Liu finished speaking, the crew members on the sampan took out their oars and started rowing hard.
There are only three hundred kilometers left, and the thought of arriving at the legendary Su Shen’s territory is imminent.
Even a few crew members who had just been frightened to the point of weakening their legs and feet now felt that their whole bodies were full of endless exertion.
It was approaching noon, and the fleet had sailed about 80 kilometers.
If we can maintain this speed and take a night’s rest, we will probably arrive in the evening tomorrow.
“Dock to the shore and rest!”
Although no one felt tired after Bentou, Liu Zhi still gave the order to rest.
At this time, the advantages of small sampans are reflected.
Unlike large boats, small sampans are light and flexible and can easily sail along the current to the shore with just a few adjustments.
A group of people skillfully maneuvered the boat, and soon, small sampans were steadily approaching the shore.
The captain was responsible for stopping the ship, while the crew members jumped ashore, stepped onto the flat wasteland, and took action quickly.
As the saying goes, the division of labor is clear and everyone performs his or her duties.
The survivors who have been crawling around in the wasteland for a year and a half have long since abandoned their modern habits and have adopted savage-like living habits and styles.
The person responsible for lighting the fire immediately went to explore nearby to find suitable wood; the person fetching water took out the clay pot and hurriedly walked to the river, preparing to drink the clear river water; and the person preparing supplies was even more agile, having already taken out the water from the sampan. Take out the large pot and ingredients from the storage compartment and start processing them.
It’s very magical. This giant dragon fairy river has only appeared for less than a month because of the earthquake, but there are already a lot of swimming fish in it.
Maybe it’s the release of the game?
The survivors didn’t care about this, as they were already accustomed to such an abnormal reality.
With these fresh fish and meat, it can relieve the boredom of having only dry food when on the road.
“Lord Liu, it’s better to use your method, otherwise the evil wind just now will definitely cause the loss of one or two ships.”
“Yes, yes, I used to laugh at the way Cao Cao tied up his fleet with iron ropes in the Three Kingdoms. In the end, they were all burnt by fire. He was so stupid. Now try it yourself, and the binding is really stable!”
“We will arrive at Su Shen’s territory tomorrow. I wonder what the scene will be like there?”
