Chapter 619 - 265: Thunder Titan
No matter how harsh the environment is, two acres of land are absolutely enough to support one person.
What’s more, Weilu City not only relies on the swamp to produce food... The Divine Kingdom has also cultivated vast tracts of land.
Both major granaries are producing grain, which is the confidence of Weilu City.
Lear nodded.
"Good, regardless of how the weather changes, do not relax, continue to intensify production and construction."
"Additionally, as the weather cools, send people to the pig farms to take good care of the Three-tailed Pigs, so as not to incur any losses with these pigs."
"If they can’t stay outside, move the pig farms to the Swamp Divine Kingdom."
The pig farm is his key project, crucial for future rapid mobilization, and must not suffer any setbacks.
"Yes!!"
After Bain answered, he looked at the increasingly heavy snow in the sky, his tone somewhat worried.
"Your Majesty, although we have prepared cold-resistant materials in advance, the cotton fabrics acquired are very few... The Wilderness has no winter, so there is simply no such material reserve."
"Currently, we have a significant shortage of clothing for cold resistance, and there’s no substitute to be found in the short term..."
As the territory’s population increased, the demand for various materials also surged. If it were three to five hundred people, he could have managed somehow, but now there are 20,000 people.
Where to find so much cold-resistant clothing?
Upon hearing this, Lear also fell into thought. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and his gaze rested thoughtfully on a nearby house.
"The Starry Sky Vine has traits of insulating against cold and heat..."
Bain gave a wry smile.
"Yes, as long as they stay indoors, there’s no fear. But residents always have to leave their houses."
Lear smiled.
"Then let’s build the entire territory into a city that can resist the cold and heat..."
Bain was stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding what he meant.
Lear gestured underground.
"Use the Starry Sky Vine to build an Underground City buried under the earth, with corridors made of vines on the surface, interconnected."
"The underground also has an insulating effect, and with the Starry Sky Vine, it can completely isolate the cold."
"Furthermore, the future situation will undoubtedly be tumultuous. Once a powerful enemy invades, residents can immediately enter the Underground City to hide until it is safe."
"In this way, the army won’t have to worry too much about the safety of the rear and can act more boldly."
"At that time, you just need to close the passages to the surface, forming a natural refuge."
"Also, some production materials can be moved to the Underground City to avoid surface attacks."
"With the Starry Sky Vine as a protective barrier, the safety of the underground is higher than that of the surface."
He could also set up several large whirlpools deep underground, forming natural barriers, completely preventing anyone from attacking Weilu City from below.
And the energy source of the whirlpools relies entirely on the swamp itself. As long as the swamp exists, the whirlpools will be everlasting.
He was also contemplating the day when he would completely grasp the Authority of the Swamp, rebuild the Divine Format, and be forced to leave the Main Plane, what crisis Weilu City would face.
Without his protection, the territory would inevitably encounter various enemy attacks, and how to respond at that time must be planned in advance.
The idea of building an Underground City with the Starry Sky Vine is entirely feasible.
If construction can be completed, it would be equivalent to adding another layer of insurance to Weilu City, significantly increasing the city’s fault tolerance.
Bain’s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing this.
This plan is brilliant. In the future, regardless of whether the outside climate is dry or cold, or icy and snowy, the Underground City will maintain enough warmth.
Production and life can operate normally without stopping due to the weather.
The most wonderful point is that the Starry Sky Vine can maintain the Underground City by itself by devouring magic power, nutrients from the underground soil, and the power of the stars.
No resources need to be expended by the territory.
This is just perfect!
"Your Majesty, I’ll immediately arrange for people to study the construction plan for the Underground City..."
Bain felt an urgent impulse to go down and implement it.
This was so exciting for the Mud Swamp People who love construction.
Moreover, he had an intuition that the completion of the Underground City is extraordinarily important!
It could even directly change the future development direction of the territory.
Lear nodded.
"Go ahead, start the construction, set up the framework of the Underground City first, and then gradually improve it. No need to wait until everything is finalized to execute."
The mobility of the Starry Sky Vine makes construction full of fun, no longer requiring repeated demonstrations before implementation.
It can be carried out according to the idea first, and adjustments can be made immediately if it’s not right until it reaches the most perfect state.
The Mud Swamp People, who love and are proficient in construction, simply adore the Starry Sky Vine.
After the communication here, Bain went to mobilize people overnight.
Lear didn’t linger much either and went down to inspect several key projects.
The first stop was the pig farm... the thick fat of the Three-tailed Pig ridiculed the little snow.
Eating and drinking as usual, unaffected in the slightest.
The Dragon Blood Red Fish swam underwater. Although the snow was heavy, its effect wasn’t immediately apparent.
Changes in swamp wheat were the most noticeable, with growth speed beginning to slow, and the roots reduced their activity, evidently aiming to prolong the growth cycle to cope with the cold.
The Venus Flytrap was interesting, directly absorbing the snowflakes that fell on it cleanly.
These plants, which require a lot of water resources for irrigation, were very satisfied with the snowflakes, like an extra meal.
After inspecting these, Lear felt reassured.
As long as these fundamental projects aren’t affected, everything else is less worrying.
The sudden heavy snow continued until noon on January 30th.
