Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 316 Journey and Memory Crystal
The day before the construction site was to be moved out, a man sitting on a stone saw a familiar figure walking from a distance.

After disappearing for 21 days, the female adventurer reappeared in the canteen of the construction site workers.

"Yo, long time no see."

She had no intention of getting angry, so she sat down on a stone with two meat and vegetables and greeted the man directly.

The man who originally had many thoughts and words to say in his mind was unable to say anything after seeing the female adventurer appear again.

He could only bury his head and take a big mouthful of rice before replying:
"Yeah, long time no see."

The female adventurer was not related to him and talked about what she had done during these days.

She set off from Mangshan City and spent ten days walking out of the area that was previously under Mangshan City. She successfully entered the area that had been constructed by Chishui City. She then spent three days walking through these areas and arrived directly. Chishui City, the most prosperous and most changed area in the southwest.

Putting aside what she saw along the way, the female adventurer was extremely shocked by the difference in travel time.

For the first time, she felt how convenient a complete road network system would be for traveling.

Originally, the road condition between cities was very bad. There were stone roads near the city, and gravel roads further away. After leaving the city limits, there were only rotten dirt roads squeezed out by years of trampling.

It's okay to walk on these roads normally, at least it's much better than rushing through the grass and shrubs.

But when it rains, it's terrible.

Rain will turn these dirt roads into slippery and sticky mud. Ordinary people walking on these roads will easily slip and fall when walking in places with less mud. In places where the mud is deeper, one has to sink one foot forward. I struggled in the rain for a long time, but I didn't think I could get it out.

If some low-lying areas cannot be passed by people in a short period of time after rainwater has accumulated, although caravans with large beasts of burden can continue to move forward in such weather, in order to ensure the safety and quality of the goods, such weather conditions The team will set up camp and rest.

In this case, the journey that could be completed in one afternoon will take an extra day or two.

But when we arrived at the place where Chishui City had been under construction, the roads were completely different from these dirt roads.

The main body of the road is a poured concrete pavement. A solid and flat road is much easier to walk on than a rotten dirt road.

Moreover, the planning and design of the roads are much better than those roads that are made by hard work based on experience and terrain.

This kind of excellence in design involves all aspects. The most intuitive manifestation is that the main body of the road is higher than the surrounding terrain, thus building a structure of flood discharge ditches on both sides of the road. There are thin lines cut on the road. To enhance the roughness of the road and effectively prevent the problem of falling due to reduced friction on rainy days.

In addition to these designs, there is also the issue of road planning, how to design the road to maximize the traffic efficiency and minimize the construction cost.

Of course, people who are not in this field will not be able to understand the many subtle details of the clever design.

As someone who has experienced walking on the road, the female adventurer has only one experience after entering the new road. The feeling of traveling on this road is really great.

As an adventurer, it was common for her to travel in the wild for long periods of time. She naturally knew how terrible it felt to walk on a bad mountain road for twelve or thirteen hours.

Such roads are extremely convenient for transporting supplies, traveling for ordinary people, or for the collective dispatch of city guards.

But if the road surface only changed, she wouldn't be able to reach Chishui City directly in just three days by traveling through multiple areas along the way.

After all, humans will get tired. Whether it is eating to replenish energy or falling asleep to rest and refresh, it is a quite time-consuming process.

Pack animals (not Warcraft), which are famous for their endurance, can only walk for three consecutive days at most. They also need to eat and rest.

But with goblin black oil as the fuel and the fire and steam furnace as the heart's mechanical equipment, it can run continuously for ten days and a half without entering an overload state.

"Where are you going, little girl? I can give you a ride if you want. I'm a big guy with a lot of strength."

The female adventurer walking on the concrete road met many enthusiastic people who said similar words. They sat on the huge transportation machinery and controlled the huge machinery to move quickly along the road.

The transportation machine they ride on is a bit like a giant lobster without pincers. When walking, it has a two-meter-high long strip of transportation machine, which moves quickly on twelve mechanical legs that move like waves.

This is the [Lobster No. [-] walker] designed by Chiguang University. It is a civilian transportation vehicle that has been put into mass production.

The price of this thing is not low. The grade in the surrounding areas of Chishui City is like a 90s farm tractor. If anyone has one, then this family must be a rich family.

This kind of walking machine is usually purchased by farms outside the city, and everyone takes turns using it.

After all, this is an excellent production tool. This lobster-shaped walking machine is not a low-level mechanical device that leaves a hole on the ground with one step. Scholars from Chiguang University have designed a variety of lobster-shaped walking machines. Plantar.

When walking on concrete pavement, the Lobster No. [-] walker will enter a centipede-like walking mode, and the soles of the walker will become flat and wide hard gel soles, dispersing the pressure of the Lobster walker on the road surface and extending the time. The service life of the road.

When walking in the farmland, the Lobster No. [-] walker will use the soles of its feet similar to those of a rake. The walking mode changes to raising the soles of its feet step by step. This can reduce the pressure of the Lobster Walker on the land and prevent the compaction of fertile soil. .

The design scholars at Chiguang University are very smart and consider problems from many aspects. They are professionals. If they cannot even design the soles of feet that can adapt to different road surfaces, Bell's Chiguang University will be built in vain. .

The lobster head of the Lobster No. [-] walker is where the driver sits. The joystick is used to control the direction and walking mode. The cab can seat three people and looks like a large tractor driving position.

The inside of the lobster head is where the power core steam furnace and various supporting mechanical facilities are placed. The mechanical feet are connected to these mechanical devices and extend from the bottom of the lobster head.

The lobster tail is a warehouse that can be wrapped. When the lobster tail is curled up, it can have a fairly large storage space that can hold more than two tons of wheat. Its function is similar to the bed of a pickup truck.

Of course, the lobster tail can be removed and replaced with lobster tails with other functions.

For example, a warehouse-style lobster tail can be quickly turned into a manned carriage carrying multiple passengers by disassembling some components, flipping the lobster tail and extending it.

In addition, during spring plowing and autumn harvesting, the lobster tail can also be used for soil plowing and sowing, making it an excellent production tool.

The female adventurer heading to Chishui City didn't quite understand the significance of the application of the Lobster II walker in various fields. She only knew that these tireless steel behemoths made her travel experience quite good.Usually when she meets a kind person who wants to give her a ride on the road, she can rest comfortably on the Lobster No. [-] walking machine for four or five hours.

During this time, it is extremely comfortable to eat something, chat with the kind person who operates the walker, or simply relax for a while.

If you are a modern person who dislikes even riding in a car, you will definitely complain about the cushion of this lobster walker being too hard, or that it is shaky and uncomfortable for long journeys.

But adventurers who have become accustomed to harsh environments in this world will not say that these walking machines are faulty at all.

No matter how much this lobster walker shakes, can it be compared to the feeling of riding on the back of a monster, trying desperately not to be thrown off?
No matter how hard the backrest and seat cushion are, can they be compared to the harsh environment in various dangerous places?

The adventurers are very contented. They are accustomed to living a hard life. Their eyes look at this lobster walker with burning eyes, as if they are in a passionate love stage with this lobster walker.

After resting for four or five hours and getting off the lobster walker, you will suddenly look back and realize that you have traveled fifty or sixty kilometers.

This speed is slightly faster than the jogging speed of ordinary people, but these mechanical behemoths are tireless. Ordinary people keep moving at the same speed as these mechanical behemoths. They can persist for two hours, three hours, or even ten. hours, but it would definitely not last for two days and two nights.

"The current Chishui City is completely different from the city in my memory."

Talking about what she saw on the road, the female adventurer finished the last bite of food in the rice bowl.

What she saw along the way shocked her greatly, but this level of change was already a thing of the past for Chishui City.

"I arrived in Chishui City. Although I thought about many possible scenes before entering the city, after seeing the real Chishui City, I knew that my previous fantasies were still too conservative."

The female adventurer arrived at Chishui City. Before she officially entered Chishui City, she was shocked by a building complex outside Chishui City.

According to workers there, it was the original slum of Chishui City, where the poorest people lived.

But when the female adventurer looked at the past, she could never imagine that the poorest people would live in such a place.

Concrete buildings one after another have entered the final stage of construction, and workers are constantly inspecting various construction details on the roofs and the like.

These buildings are generally designed to be seven floors high, and the layout design of each suite is excellent, fully considering lighting, ventilation, building structure and other aspects.

The female adventurer believed that such a house could be sold at a good price not only in small cities, but also in Mangshan City, a former top four city.

"This is affordable housing for residents. It is the first batch of houses to be accepted after the implementation of the dilapidated house reconstruction project. According to the statistics of Chishui City residents, those whose income level is lower than the basic income guarantee line can get a house here."

The worker said this, and his words stunned the female adventurer.

After asking a few more questions, she barely understood the current housing situation in Chishui City.

Bell launched the housing reform and made a bottom-line plan for the residents' houses. The houses must first be able to withstand earthquakes and cannot be casually destroyed by the aftermath of an attack by some legendary powerhouse.

Then, housing must conform to urban construction and planning, and cannot be built haphazardly to fragment the city.

Anyway, under the many provisions of the housing reform, Chishui City was rapidly adjusted. Starting from the original urban layout of Chishui City, a broader and more orderly Chishui City was built.

Road widening is necessary. Most urban roads have been converted into two-way four-lanes, leaving only a small number of relatively narrow pedestrian streets.

Urban greening is left to scholars who specialize in urban design. Under their design, plants used as embellishments and basic greening make people look relaxed and happy.

There are also public hospitals, multi-level schools, specialized commercial streets...

After a few days of experience, the female adventurer who entered Chishui City was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. No matter where she was at any angle, she could make novel discoveries that she had never seen before.

Especially in the commercial street, as a woman's shopping instinct, she bought a lot of interesting things.

"This is a memory crystal newly developed by the Magic Theory Department of Chiguang University. It can engrave and display images. Although it can not store many images, it is easy to operate and not expensive to sell."

The female adventurer took out a square magic crystal plate slightly larger than the palm of her hand from her backpack. After injecting some magic power into it, she handed it to the man next to her who was listening quietly to her speech.

Under the man's somewhat surprised gaze, a clear image quickly appeared on the memory crystal board in his hand.

"Is this a video recording? Oh, son, can you see me..."

An extremely familiar face emerged from the memory crystal. After the familiar voice sounded, the man froze as if he had been struck by a petrification spell.

The female adventurer sitting next to him had a smile on her lips and looked at him quietly.

Watching this honest and taciturn man watch the video in the memory crystal over and over again until the magic power she had just lost was exhausted.

At this time, the female adventurer smiled brightly and asked jokingly to the man who had completely turned into a sculpture:
"I walked for so many days, from Mangshan City to Chishui City alone, and brought this memory crystal to you, and you didn't even say thank you to me?"

Stimulated by these words, the man came back to his senses from his dazed state, stood up suddenly, and wanted to solemnly thank the female adventurer.

But before he could speak, the two big noses that had been brewing for a long time and the tears that blinded his eyes suddenly burst out, making the man look quite funny.

The shy and ashamed man turned red from the tip of his ears to the root of his neck. He turned around quickly and took a moment to clean himself up.

The female adventurer sitting on the stone laughed heartily and laughed until tears flowed out.

After a long time, when the atmosphere became quiet again, the two sat on a stone. The female adventurer looked at the sky between the shades of the trees, and the dust-beating man stared at the mud between the soles of his two feet. There was no sign from either side. Then he said in unison:
"I like you."

　I can rest tomorrow, I want to sleep all day!
