My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1469

[1460. Chapter 1437 The hot summer ends and the autumn harvest comes quietly!]

The small size of the Stone Territory is also an advantage.

The new survivors who joined last night have been quickly integrated and have been assigned some responsibilities and a job that provides them with two meals.

“So many people have joined us at once. Fortunately, we have collected a lot of fresh water in the past few days. We can barely support ourselves for another two or three days until we can open up a new route to fetch water.”

In the stone house with a lord sign hanging on it, a middle-aged man in plain linen clothes pushed up his glasses and spoke clearly.

The man’s name is ‘Lu Ding’.

On Earth, he is an accountant in a large company, proficient in account management and the ways of the world.

Lao Zhang promoted Lu Ding to be the material manager of the Giant Stone Territory, and it turned out that this choice was the right one.

Although the number of people in the territory has now risen to nearly a thousand, Lu Ding is still able to handle the entry and exit of every item of material in an orderly manner.

“Food is not in short supply at the moment. With the food that Lord Ji brought in for trade, according to our current planned consumption, we can at least last for forty days until the autumn harvest.”

“But this is based on the assumption that we will not expand the scale in the future. If a few hundred people come again like yesterday, these supplies may only be enough for one or two weeks. We have to continue to seek trade with the outside world.”

“As the population grows, more stone houses are necessary for construction and development, and some public facilities are also needed to provide services. Our current plan is to repair the roads going up and down the mountain first, so that it will reduce a lot of trouble when communicating with the outside world. Then there is the issue of residential houses. The current stone houses are a bit crowded, and we need to expand some more. These may be a bit crowded in Tianzhai.”

“Why is it so troublesome?”

Lu Ding kept talking, and before he got to the point, Lao Zhang interrupted him with a headache.

Is being the lord of Xingye Territory so troublesome?
Every day, it’s either this or that, or something is needed urgently.

He just throws his sleeves away and doesn’t care about the lives of people in the territory at all, living a carefree life.

“According to what you said, can’t the current problem be summarized into one item?”

“Not enough supplies?”

“If you say so, Lord, then that’s fine.” Lu Ding thought about it and nodded.

If there are enough supplies, no difficulties will be difficult.

As long as the surrounding trading routes are not broken, the Stone Territory will not encounter a development bottleneck.

However, there is always a clear upper limit to the trading of drugs.

The survivors’ demand for medicine will also decrease as the route level increases.

Especially when human physique is strengthened to a certain level, many minor illnesses and disasters will no longer occur.

At this time, without the supplies obtained from trading medicines, the Stone Territory would soon decline.

The decline will not cease until the consumption of the population becomes proportional to its income.

“It will be easier to solve these problems if they are combined into one. Don’t worry, I’ll go later.”

Lao Zhang thought about it and felt relieved.

He couldn’t solve the problem raised by Lu Ding, but what if Boss Ji had a solution?

The construction of the Giant Stone Territory was previously possible thanks to the initial materials provided by Boss Ji.

The current development is due to the pharmaceutical preparation method in the book given by Boss Ji.

so.

“Lord, Lord Ji wants to see you. Do you want to go over now?”

“Don’t you think this is solved?”

Old Zhang stood up happily and patted Lu Ding on the shoulder.

“Come on, come on, come with me.”

Lu Ding pursed his lips.

I always felt it was extremely weird.

The Stone Territory was completely different from other places from top to bottom, especially compared with his previous territory.

There are no complicated rules here, and the activities of the people are strictly controlled, for fear that someone will miss breakfast.

There is no discrimination against survivors here. As long as they can work, they are all treated equally.

Lao Zhang never hides or embezzles the materials piled up in the warehouse.

One is one, two is two.

Even now, when he is ordered around by his subordinates, Lao Zhang does not put on airs at all. Instead, he seems very happy.

What exactly does he want to achieve by becoming a lord?

Until now, Lu Ding still hasn’t figured this out. Lao Zhang’s behavior doesn’t look like that of a lord at all.

The two of them went out one after the other.

The village was bustling with people at this time, and it seemed much more lively than in the past few days.

Hundreds of people crowded into an open space and received today’s tasks according to the work schedule arranged yesterday.

The person in charge of this task is Luo You. For him, this little thing is as easy as eating and drinking.

Arriving in front of Su Mo’s stone house, Lao Zhang was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but saw Su Mo coming out from behind the house.

He was holding a wooden bucket in his hand.

Crash.

The white groundwater ripples back and forth in the bucket, and from time to time water splashes out from the edge of the bucket and falls to the ground.

“Hey, Mr. Ji, if you need water, just send someone to go. Why do you still have to fetch water yourself?”

Old Zhang hurried forward and took the bucket from Su Mo’s hand.

You know what, it’s quite heavy.

“This is the first bucket of water. Have someone boil it and taste it to see if it needs to be filtered.”

“The first bucket of water?”

Lao Zhang was puzzled. “The water in the reservoir is clean, so it shouldn’t be necessary.”

“I got this from the well, not the reservoir.”

“Ah?” Lao Zhang didn’t quite understand.

But when he saw Su Mo walking towards the back of the house, he didn’t stand there in a daze. He handed the bucket to Lu Ding and hurried to catch up with Su Mo.

Pulled from the well?

How come he didn’t know there was a well in the village?

However, when he arrived at the back of the house and saw the huge wellhead and the metallic water intake structure, Lao Zhang was dumbfounded!
He almost thought he was dreaming!

This stone mountain is at least 500 meters high, and both the top and the foot of the mountain are made of stone.

If you want to get water here, you need to drill the well several hundred meters deep.

What kind of project is this?

A stone mountain is not an earth mountain. The structure may be damaged at any time during the drilling process, causing collapse and blockage.

If you really have the time, it would be enough to just connect a water pipe from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Why go through so much trouble?

Pop.

Behind Lao Zhang came the sound of a bucket falling to the ground, and white water splashed out of the bucket and flowed onto the ground.

Looking at the mechanical water well that suddenly appeared on the ground, Lu Ding’s eyes showed an incredible look and his mouth opened wide.

He can guarantee it.

Yesterday, no, last night!
Last night at dinner time, when he came here to call Su Mo and Luo You to have dinner.

here.

There is absolutely no such well here!
“How did Boss Ji Ji get here?” Lao Zhang lay at the mouth of the well, looked down, and his breathing became unusually rapid.

“There is water in the mountains. This well is a reward I redeemed from the game.”

Su Mo was brief and to the point, and directly put all the blame on the game.

Anyway, there’s no way to get to the bottom of this kind of thing. You can’t just go and ask the game what’s going on.

“Can this thing be exchanged?”

Lao Zhang was very confused. He had searched all the disaster exchange stores before, but had not seen such a facility for exchange.

Otherwise, the development speed of each territory would no longer be limited by the level of technology.

“The world is so big, and there are so many wonders. What you have come into contact with is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Su Mo’s familiar pretense of being profound quickly dispelled Lao Zhang and Lu Ding’s doubts.

Especially as the mechanical well started to operate and another bucket of fresh water was pumped out from it, the two of them became extremely excited.

There is water on the mountain!
This not only means that the risk of going down the mountain to get water has become history, but also means that the Boulder Territory has completely gotten rid of the risk of being out of water, and has lost a fatal weakness.

In the future, even if the enemy besieged the mountain, the territory would be able to hold out for a long time.

“I’m going to tell them not to go down the mountain, but to come here to get water!”

Luo Ding turned and left, and soon a group of people ran over after him, shouting and yelling. They were all ecstatic when they saw the mechanical water well.

The Luo family’s father and son also followed over. Luo You was stunned when he saw the well.

“Don’t you have to go down the mountain to get water anymore?”

“Yes.”

The giant dragon river flows through the entire New World, with almost inexhaustible fresh water resources.

Su Mo did not expect that a well would cause such a shock. After all, this was not the era when one had just traveled across the wasteland and a sip of water could save a life.

“That’s great. Now that we have a well, we don’t have to collect water based on the number of people.” The two children were extremely happy, but they didn’t find it strange. With the previous preparation, they could explain everything Su Mo did in their own minds.

Water resources are currently in short supply in the Boulder Territory, with each person only being supplied two liters a day.

Now that we have a well, we can use it for both food and drink and washing.

If you are even more extravagant, you can dig up soil from the foot of the mountain and maybe create some arable land in the mountain.

“In addition to water, I have also found an industry suitable for the development of the territory.”

“By the way, come with me.”

Leaving behind a group of people who were curious about the well, Su Mo took Lao Zhang, Luo You, Luo Ding and others to the local village.

Perhaps it was the surprise brought by the well that we saw the power-generating device appear in the cave.

Instead, the group of people accepted it quickly and no longer showed any disbelief.

Water saves lives.

Well
, considering the current development of the Stone Territory, it won’t be of much help in the short term.

However, when they saw the wires connected to the light bulb that Su Mo brought back yesterday, emitting a bright and soft light, everyone still smiled foolishly.

Having complete water and electricity is the dream of many small territories.

This is equivalent to a person laying a solid foundation in the compulsory education stage, and even if he continues to develop step by step, he can achieve good results.

“This is just the beginning. There will be more surprises for you next.”

Soma said this.

Looking at the simple smiling faces, he suddenly felt that he had indeed missed a lot in the development of Tianyuan Territory.

It was because of these missed opportunities that he didn’t truly understand the source of the special survival point until yesterday.

but.

fortunately.

It’s never too late.

Summer goes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the opening of the “Skylight Well” in the Giant Stone Territory.

As the scorching heat gradually dissipates, the autumn wind begins to blow quietly in the New World.

It’s a pity that the temperature in the southern fire zone is still so high, reaching nearly 40 degrees during the day.

Only when the autumn wind blows at night will the temperature drop to over 20 degrees.

Outward.

The arrival of the ultimate disaster did not bring too many changes to the New World. The threat posed by waves of continuous attacks from death tide monsters was reduced gradually with a large amount of intelligence exchange.

The clarion call for development has been sounded everywhere, and the situation is far beyond that of the deep sea at that time.

Inward.

Although the development of the Stone Territory did not bring much impact to the area around the Golden Eagle, it has expanded a lot compared to the beginning.

From being unknown at first, the surrounding territories began to know that there were several villages on these stone mountains, with nearly three thousand people gathered in them, and they seemed to be living well.

By selling medicines, the name of Jushi gradually became known.

However, there are only a few survivors willing to come here because of their fame, and most people sneer at living in the mountains.

Needless to say, there is nothing else.

The lack of suitable terrain conditions and the inability to farm are enough to sentence the Stone Territory to death.

It may not be obvious now, but by the time the upcoming fall harvest is over, everything will be settled.

Including the ‘Tyrael Territory’ surrounding the Stone Territory.

Originally, Salvador, the overlord of the Tyrael Territory, coveted the pharmaceutical technology possessed by the Stone Territory.

But after an in-depth investigation, he immediately put aside all his worries after discovering the huge and ridiculous disadvantages of the Stone Territory.

The autumn harvest is when the boulders disintegrate.

This was the assertion he made to everyone at the territory meeting.

Everyone is harvesting and can store enough food to last at least half a year to a year, but the people in the Stone Territory can only watch all this happen. How many people can endure this?

As for trading medicines for supplies, the Stone Territory had only sold them to the outside world more than twenty times, but the market was already approaching saturation.

Ordinary survivors simply cannot digest dozens of kilograms of medicines, and the major territories will not buy them and store them.

Perhaps in another month or two, the demand for medicines will completely reach its low point and then stabilize.

However, as the parties involved, the internal situation within the Stone Territory is unusually harmonious.

Waves of new people joined in, and stone houses sprang up one after another.

There is no contact with outsiders and it is not open to the outside world. The survivors in the surrounding area are not aware of the development of Tianzhai.

At first, Su Mo was worried that the golden giant eagle would monitor the development progress of the surrounding territories, but then he discovered that perhaps the Giant Stone Territory was excluded from the beginning, and no one came to disturb it these days.

Including the bulk pharmaceutical business, perhaps in the eyes of the Golden Eagle, it is all childish play.

This gives the Stone Territory enough room for development.

Gives him time to accumulate survival points.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and the special survival points have been accumulated four times.

After the spending upgrade, there is still a balance of nearly 7,000 points.

When selling medicines, he always led the team and accumulated item survival points three times.

This is another 8,400 points of income, which is so huge that it is both surprising and unexpected.

You know, before the system was updated, this was already a full 90,000 points of purchasing power!
