Chapter 425: The so-called new city

At four o'clock in the afternoon (16 o'clock), the first flat ice boat loaded

with frozen fish slowly left the post from the inland river wharf and set off

along the river towards Baihe City.

Many people have witnessed the first voyage of this weird ship-compared to the

common inland sailing boats, its shipboard is even lower than the trestle

bridge, almost like an ice brick spreading on the water, but the size is

average. Several times the length of the ship, the length has reached as much

as nine feet, and it is definitely the "king of the ship" in the inland river.

It also has no sails, and even if it goes up against the river, it doesn’t

show much effort. In addition to the piles of frozen fish, there is also a

basalt organ beast and a dozen tightly wrapped soldiers on the deck. .

Everyone knows that there have been widespread famines in various parts of

Shenzhou, and this big ship is the rescue team going to Baihe to support, so

when it set out, an enthusiastic farewell erupted from the dock.

"I never thought about it before. It takes only half a day to build a ship."

Mo Yun couldn't help sighing in a corner by the dock.

Ning Wanjun, who came here in disguise with her, wondered, "Isn't the previous

ice ship also produced by the Machinery Engineering Bureau?"

"This new ship is simpler than the previous batch. It is so simple that the

Bureau of Mechanical Engineering only provided the template and the Tiandong

instrument components." Mo Yun shook his head, "In Xia Fan's words, it is just

to install a board on a wooden board. Power source, just let it move."

The same is true for the fact that ice ships used for naval battles still have

cabins and front doors, while the concept of flat ice ships with cabins is

omitted. This type of ship that does not seem to be suitable for the sea is

unexpectedly useful when placed in an inland river-there are no turbulent

waves, and the ultra-low sideboard makes it very easy to load and unload

cargo. At the same time, the large hull keeps it in the water. As if walking

on the ground, even people who have never been in the water standing on it

will not feel any dizziness or discomfort.

In other words, this type of ship is inherently suitable for transportation.

When Xia Fan came to the door and said that he would build the first finished

product and put it into actual operation before the evening, Mo Yun was still

deeply skeptical. After all, no matter how easy it is to get an ice hull, one

day is always needed, and it is an unprecedented type of ship. It has to be

launched and tested several times to determine if it is feasible. How can it

be built in the morning and before nightfall? Officially opened?

The fact is beyond her imagination.

With the assistance of Qianchi and Qianyan, the launching test of the hull was

completed in only half an hour, followed by the two-hour rudder and sky mover

debugging. Just after noon, the first flat ice boat was already there. Meet

the sailing requirements.

Obviously Xia Fan had anticipated this situation a long time ago. One day is

even conservative.

Mo Yun realized this only after he realized it.

The question is such an ugly but effective thing, how did he come up with it?

Can the listener not only hear all kinds of sounds, but also see the actual

scene?

There was a saying in the mechanism art family that the more powerful the

mechanism creation, the more beautiful and moving, she believed that-the

basalt mechanism beast created by combining her life experience and knowledge

is the most vivid example.

But the flat ice boat propelled by Tiandongyi... is it a kind of mechanical

creation, right? For some reason, seeing its rough and crude shape, Mo Yun

didn't want to admit that it was his own work.

"If you open up and build, how many ships of this kind can be built in a

month?" The princess asked her to draw her thoughts back.

"It depends on whether the living dead have enough energy," Mo Yun made a

mental calculation, "but at least thirty or forty ships can be guaranteed."

"In other words, as long as the inland river can cover the place, I can

mobilize an army of beasts to go to the battlefield in a short time at any

time. If the territory of Shenzhou is limited, it even only takes one day?"

Mo Yun thought for a while, "...you can think so."

"I understand a little bit now what he meant by the so-called brand-new city."

Under Ning Wanjun's gentle tone, there was a trace of uncontrollable

excitement.

"Your Highness?"

Whether it is receiving news that night, mobilizing the whole city and sending

out the first batch of aid the next day, or large-scale troop mobilization,

reaching the entire territory of Shenzhou within one day, it is far beyond the

imagination of the world, because from common sense Above all, these are

impossible things.

However, Jinxia City can do it.

It is difficult for Ning Wanjun to accurately describe the difference between

the two, but I can faintly feel that Jinxia and other cities in Qiguo are

already in different eras.

"If you can do things that other cities cannot match, this is a brand new

city." She said word by word.

The little book booth that book friends used before has gone down, and now

basically they are using \Mic\Mic\Reading\\ .

……

At noon on the third day, the first ground relief troops sent by Jinxia

appeared on the outskirts of Baihe City.

This time is more than two hours earlier than the scheduled arrival time.

The soldiers didn’t care about taking a rest, so they set up camp in front of

the East City Gate and made porridge. This group of Jinxia people, who were

dressed in uniforms and looked vigorous, immediately attracted the attention

of the residents of Baihe City.

There is no need for the propaganda of the branch office. The news of the

distribution of relief porridge by Jinxiacheng quickly spread through the

streets.

"Have you heard? Jinxia's relief team is really here!"

"How much food did they bring?"

"There seem to be more than a dozen cars."

"Is that enough? There are tens of thousands of people in our city. Even if

it's all cooked into porridge, it won't last for half a month."

"In spite of this, they now have spare capacity to help Baihe City, it means

that Jinxia is not short of food? Otherwise, how can we have the time to

support us?"

"By the way, are there any conditions for receiving porridge?"

"It doesn't seem to be there. One person is limited to one bowl, and the one

who drank it will just be stamped on the hand. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"How about... let's try it too?"

"To be honest, the porridge is ugly, thin and astringent... If it's not that

there is nothing to eat, I suggest forgetting it."

A conversation like this can be heard everywhere in the city.

The Pelican is no exception.

He pretended to be a vagrant, leaning against the city wall and looking at the

relief camp in the distance. At the same time, he had confirmed one thing in

his mind, that is, the Baihe Affairs Bureau had a means of communicating with

Jinxia City instantaneously. Any changes that happen here can be immediately

known over there, otherwise there is no way to explain it, and the relief

troops will be on the ground after a day and night.

There are soldiers guarding all around the camp, and there are not too many

shelters in the outskirts. It is undoubtedly more difficult to make trouble

here than in the city.

Things have become troublesome.

Pelican knew in his heart that fear is the root of the turmoil-famine can

indeed create this kind of fear, but it takes a certain amount of time to

consume stored food, not as rapid as floods and epidemics. After all, the

former is a gradual expansion process, as long as one more month is given to

him, he will surely make the wildfire in people's hearts evolve into burning

city flames, but now, the process of this outbreak is suppressed by the relief

food.

Today’s food prices at various grain shops have not continued to rise is

proof.

Obviously everyone is watching, what exactly can Jinxiacheng do.

And this kind of wait and see is undoubtedly quite unfavorable to the Privy

Council.

Those grain shops...maybe they won’t be able to stay.
