Ten thousand I am across the heavens
Chapter 1937 The Beast Tide Arrives
Chapter 1937 The Beast Tide Arrives
After these special poisonous insects were refined, large amounts of materials were produced in batches.
These materials can also be produced through industrial means, but the cost is obviously much higher. The steps and industrial systems required for production are more complicated.
And if those Gu Masters who have just awakened are allowed to consume their own true essence to produce these materials, both efficiency and cost will be greatly optimized.
Originally, families would only open their own family members for cost and efficiency reasons. Usually, it was difficult to gain effective benefits by opening the acupoints of the civilians outside, and the resources needed for the cultivation of these civilians might even cause competition for family members.
It is difficult to guarantee that there are no ambitious members among the civilians, and once such people are enlightened, they may fall into the devil's way in order to improve their own cultivation and obtain more cultivation resources.
So effective management can avoid this situation. But if the family wants to effectively manage these villagers, they have to invest manpower and material resources, and most of the time it is not worth it.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, there won't be a large number of civilians who have awakened. But if someone is willing to manage these awakened civilians, and is willing to pay to buy the opportunity to open their minds, then theoretically it is possible to open the minds of a large number of ordinary people and gain the most basic ability to cultivate. However, these people only have the qualifications to cultivate, and do not have enough resources for them to improve their cultivation. They may only be a first-level Gu Master for their entire lives, and if they are lucky, they may be promoted to the second-level level.
But it didn't really matter, although their cultivation was low, they were numerous. Now the number of Gu Masters who had completed the awakening had reached 10,000, and although they had no resources to practice, the amount of True Essence they could produce through self-recovery through emptying their orifices every day had already reached a terrifying number.
Even if it was a fifth-rank Gu Master, the total amount of reinforcements recovered in one day would probably not be able to catch up with them.
For these people, the true essence in their bodies is equivalent to money. It is equivalent to the welfare given to them by the Production and Construction Corps. By contributing the true essence restored every day, they can receive some extra living supplies or directly exchange them for money.
The true essence they contributed would be converted into a variety of resources, and the materials needed for various infrastructures were accumulated rapidly. Although the industrial scale did not expand to the level of millions of people, the industrial categories were quite complete thanks to these various poisonous insects.
Lan Nuo tried his best to refine more infrastructure poisonous insects. The biggest reason was that the annual beast tide was coming. According to the memories he passed back, in his previous life, he had no ability to resist the beast tide independently, so he had to choose to accept the protection of the Baijia. As a result, the industrial bases that were left outside after retreating to the Baijia suffered huge losses after the beast tide ended, which seriously slowed down the pace of industrialization.
This time, he had gained knowledge from the future, and he planned to find a way to fight against the beast tide himself. History was still developing as before. Bai Zhanlie, the envoy of the Hundred Families, found Lan Nuo as in history. In the reception room with a sense of age, Lan Nuo received the envoy.
"As expected of someone who has inherited part of the Heaven-stealing True Teachings, he was able to lead a group of rabble and build such a foundation in such a short time. It's a pity that the beast tide is coming this year. You don't want to see your foundation destroyed.
As the saying goes, if you lose the land, you can save the people. The Bai family does not want to see their allies suffer disasters. Why don't you temporarily withdraw to the mountain stronghold and fight the beast tide with us?" Bai Zhanlie looked like he was thinking about you, without mentioning the huge price he would have to pay next.
Lan Nuo shook his head at this suggestion. "We appreciate the good intentions of the Bai family, but we are confident enough to deal with this attack. If we are unable to defend our homes, I think the workers' confidence will be greatly affected. Our Production and Construction Corps must always show strength that is worthy of everyone's trust."
Bai Zhanlie sneered in his heart, thinking that this mere rank 2 Gu Master probably had never seen how terrifying the beast tide that erupted every year was. He actually wanted to rely on his own strength to get through it. It was really a fantasy.
But on the surface, he still tried to persuade her earnestly: "Your Excellency, you don't know that every year after the beast tide breaks out, not only ordinary beasts attack human gathering places, but also a large number of beast kings and thousand beast kings. There may even be a ten thousand beast king. The more humans gather, the greater the probability of attracting the ten thousand beast king.
You have gathered so many people here. It is almost certain that you will be attacked by the King of Beasts. That is equivalent to the combat power of a fourth-level Gu Master, and it is almost certain that there are multiple fourth-level Gu insects parasitizing on his body.
Even the clan leader had to unite with the elders to siege this kind of enemy. It was too difficult to resist the attack of the King of Beasts alone in the wild. "
"It's okay. The railway between us and the clan has been built. If we are really defeated by the beast tide, we will have time to retreat. We also hope that the Hundred Clan can help us at that time."
Bai Zhanlie sighed, "Well, you haven't seen how terrifying the raging beasts are. It's good to see it with your own eyes, but the family will also face attacks at that time. Opening the city gate will be a huge risk. If you want to retreat to the mountain stronghold at that time, you will probably have to prepare enough costs."
Although the negotiations were not going smoothly, the Baijia were not worried. Because they did not think that this group of rabble could deal with the King of Beasts. By then, they would be weakened and hide in the mountain stronghold. It would be easier to control them than now. Since this group of people wanted to die, let them go.
Lan Nuo was certainly not unprepared. In his previous life, he chose to hide in the mountain village, which obviously showed that he had a clear understanding of his own strength.
The reason they chose to stay in the industrial base this time was because they were able to refine various kinds of poisonous insects, and the infrastructure poisonous insects they had just refined could help them survive the next crisis.
Surrounding the hill where the industrial base is located, relying on the terrain, a large number of low-level Gu Masters brought infrastructure Gu insects to the construction site.
As they invested their true essence, a large amount of infrastructure materials such as reinforced concrete were produced in an endless stream. Then, a city wall more than ten meters high was built at an incredible speed. The strength of the reinforced concrete structure of the city wall was much more terrifying than that of the conventional brick and stone structure. In theory, this thing could even withstand the explosion of a nuclear bomb.
Now that they have a large amount of supplies, the city wall was built at a very fast speed. In just one month, a circle of city walls hundreds of meters high surrounded the industrial base.
Lan Nuo strictly controls the architectural design and engineering design. The entire city wall presents an extremely regular circle after being surrounded, and the height of the completed city wall is almost completely consistent in horizontal height.
As the construction of the city wall was completed, the next step was an epic project. A huge composite support beam in the shape of an arc was pulled up from the circular city wall. The semicircle that was originally placed flat on the circular city wall was slowly erected with the help of workers and construction machinery. The semicircle with a radius of more than ten kilometers reached a terrifying height after it was erected. Such arcs were erected one after another on the city wall. Like weaving a basket, a mesh structure was quickly woven on the top of the city.
It was not realistic to build a reinforced concrete structure on this mesh in just a few months. The workers only had time to reinforce the huge hemispherical structure with steel flanges, which really weaved a hollow ceiling above the city like a basket.
When facing a beast tide, one must consider the possibility of enemies coming from the sky, so this roof is necessary. However, due to the limitations of materials science, it is unlikely that this roof can be built using thick reinforced concrete, so composite materials like fiberglass were transported to the top of the roof, because there are Gu Masters who can produce these materials directly in the sky. This greatly saves transportation costs. In addition, the material cost itself is not high, and the roof is soon covered with these composite materials.
After the resin and fibers solidify together, a light but extremely strong shell closes on top of the head.
In the process of this huge engineering construction, the infrastructure poisonous insects played an extremely important role. This translucent shield covered the city, and at the same time, a large number of nodes of the shield were installed with firepower points for external attacks. Although there were not as many heavy artillery and machine guns as on the city walls, the number of flying beasts was relatively small, and this scale of anti-aircraft firepower was completely sufficient.
This sci-fi fortress was built in the mountains. It is a miracle of engineering. The translucent roof allows sunlight to shine in to a certain extent.
In this way, theoretically, it is even possible to farm in this fortress, so it would not be a problem to hold on here for a long time.
Theoretically, the fortress could accommodate more people, but currently only 150,000 workers from the Production and Construction Corps lived here. The other villagers didn't really trust the fortress's defensive capabilities, so most of them begged for shelter in the Baijia village.
However, as the activities of wild beasts became more frequent, a large number of desperate villagers from the surrounding areas gradually began to gather.
This fortress was much larger than the Baijia stronghold in terms of scale. It could accommodate a much larger population, so the Production and Construction Corps would not refuse any villagers who came to seek shelter, and would include them all within its territory. It would not take long for these people to be transformed into skilled workers or soldiers.
The spherical fortress was huge and could accommodate more people, which was indeed a big advantage. But it also made it extremely conspicuous among the mountains. From a distance, this huge fortress, which was taller than the mountains, could be seen. It would undoubtedly become the target of many wild beasts.
Even though the industrial system has gradually matured, and a large number of products have been produced from the production line and put into the city defense, the residents in the city still feel uneasy.
With only their people defending such a huge city, it is really hard to feel at ease when facing the millions of wild beasts that may come next.
However, Lan Nuo had already considered the problem of insufficient manpower. The Heaven-stealing Demon Lord had invented a very powerful Gu worm. Most Gu Masters did not realize the value of this Gu worm, but Lan Nuo regarded it as a treasure. That was the Computer Gu.
This Gu worm, as the name suggests, is a computer that looks like a worm. Most Gu Masters don't have much demand for computing power when they practice. Only Zhidao Gu Masters need huge thoughts, but because the algorithms they use vary from person to person. Everyone has their own unique way of thinking, and simply improving computing power is also unlikely to help them much. As a result, the invention of computer Gu, which is enough to change the entire world, was neglected for tens of thousands of years until it fell into Lan Nuo's hands and was paired with the artificial intelligence Gu he invented, which successfully shined.
These things were supposed to happen in the future. In the original history, Lan Nuo had no idea how to refine the computer Gu, but now that he had obtained the memory of the future, he refined this Gu worm that had been improved countless times, and upgraded it to the fourth level. It was installed in the center of the city, and connected to the defense systems in various parts of the city through cables that extended in all directions. At the same time, it was also connected to the monitoring Gu placed in various parts of the city, so that even if he was in the center of the city, he could observe the situation in various locations inside and outside the city. He could get the news immediately if there was an attack. And he could send troops there to strengthen the defense.
This means that the originally insufficient manpower has become barely sufficient with the help of computers.
As the days passed, after seeing the tall fortress being built, the Baijia family temporarily gave up the idea of recruiting a production and construction corps. The construction of such a magnificent fortress was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also made them see clearly the determination of these people and the beasts to fight to the death. Regardless of whether the fortress has sufficient defensive capabilities, these people probably will not give up easily.
As the weather gradually turned cooler, wild beasts began to gather, and different kinds of wild beasts gathered into groups and moved towards the areas where humans lived. No matter which family or force was around, they could only hide in their own mountain strongholds and cities at this time, concentrating all their energy to resist the next possible invasion of beasts, and the star fortress in the mountains was also on red alert at this moment.
