Chapter 252 New Super City
But nevertheless.

Its existence still has considerable significance.

It means that Su Wu has the ability to double grain production when necessary, and quickly obtain various other plant materials.

"Now our little forest will grow up quickly."

Chen Yue sat in front of the experimental table, supporting her chin with one hand.

With expectant eyes, he stared at the reagent protected by the transparent incubator in front of him without blinking.

It was as if I saw a dense forest.

That adorable look made Su Wu want to reach out and pinch her face.

He calmly took a screenshot of the scene and saved it.

Su Wu then instructed Chen Yue, who was far away in the biological laboratory on the 5th floor underground, to turn the camera to another research result.

Several rice plants have sprouted.

Compared to the first generation of plant growth potions.

These high-yield rice seeds are even more important to Su Wu's refuge.

It represents eternal abundance and abundance.

"Since the test is clear."

"Let's try growing some in the hydroponic farm on the underground floor."

"Then, we can take this opportunity to celebrate."

"Give everyone a day off tomorrow."

Although rice seeds have been developed.

But Su Wu actually doesn’t have any extra space now to promote it on a large scale.

Outside the core area of ​​the entire farmyard.

At this moment, they have been converted into collective dormitories and large construction sites.

To accommodate the ever-growing number of workers, which has exceeded one million.

And celebration was not something Su Wu thought of casually.

It comes from a report and recommendations submitted by artificial intelligence.

For a long time, they have been confined to narrow underground space, poor food and spiritual entertainment, and almost endless labor.

Even if Su Wu worked in shifts.

Try to keep everyone's daily working hours to around 8 hours.

It is still inevitable that many negative emotions have accumulated in people's hearts.

At this time, a national festival event is needed.

To dilute the impact of negative emotions.

As Su Wu made the decision.

This includes the farmyard and all attached shelters.

Immediately, changes began to occur.

Some women and children with weaker labor force were mobilized.

Carrying the various decorations distributed, walk along the streets, corridors, squares, and other public places.

Dress up carefully.

Colorful ribbons, simulated flowers, multicolored balloons, clear wind chimes, etc. gradually filled every corner of the shelter residents' field of vision.

A strong festive atmosphere was created.

There are also some people working in food factories.

We received a large amount of high-quality ingredients shipped out from the warehouse.

Various types of rice, flour, frozen meat from pork, beef and mutton, seafood products, and even canned fruit from before the end of the world.

They were piled up into a small hill.

Let them pre-prepare the food under the guidance of several experienced chefs.

And more people.

Although I wasn't scheduled to do anything.

But they also heard the first greeting from artificial intelligence other than work tasks.

It is known that this is to celebrate the successful development of rice seeds.

Everyone will have a day off tomorrow.

And get a free gift of food.

Since then.

For the first time, cheers as loud as a tsunami appeared in the underground shelters of Jianghe City.

Then there was cheering.

It then quickly spread to the isolated Golden Lion Shelter in Tumen City, the large copper mine shelter in Shanghe City, and the locations of 12 communication signal towers.

Even the farthest communication signal tower located on the seashore 800 kilometers away.

It will all be tomorrow.

Via the Blue Sky-class transport drone.

Receive exclusive holiday treats from Jianghe City.

Morning of day 2.

Jianghe City TV broadcast live the various celebrations at the shelter.

And convey this little joy shared by tens of millions of people to the outside world.

There are at least 40 to 50 million people.

While hiding in their own homes, or in cramped or deserted shelters, eating tasteless cold dry food, they watch the celebrations on TV.

Looking at the squares there that are decorated with lights and filled with thousands of people.

The expression is complicated and difficult to understand.

But, regardless of these ordinary TV viewers.

Or are they still at the festival site, residents of a subsidiary refuge under Su Wu’s rule.

None of them cared much about the reason for the celebration, the successful development of rice seeds.

Many people even think that this is just a casual excuse.

There are only a few people who know the inside story.

I realized that this was actually a piece of news that was enough to completely overturn my previous understanding of Jianghe City, like a thunderclap.

South of Jianghe City.

More than 800 kilometers away.

In a prosperous underground city.

The meeting hall is brightly lit and magnificent, like a church.

Dozens of men and women of different ages, all with extraordinary identities, were watching the TV broadcast from Jianghe City.

After a long time.

Song Hong, the Speaker of Changming City Council, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, looked around at the many city councilors present.

He cleared his throat and asked.

"What do you think of Jianghe City?"

There was silence for a while.

Many members of parliament looked at each other calmly, as if they were guessing each other's positions.

Finally, the youngest member of parliament, Sun Jiasheng, stood up.

“It’s a stable city with a high level of order.”

He came up and gave a qualitative assessment.

Order and stability.

It means that the local ruling power has strong centralization and can fully mobilize every bit of power under its rule.

It is a high compliment.

"You can see it from the footage they released."

“Even in crowded places, there are only a few guards responsible for maintaining order.”

"We all know that once the lower-class civilians gather enough people,

"There will always be some extreme behaviors, intentionally or unintentionally."

"Without strong restraint, it could easily turn into a riot."

“But they showed no signs of that.”

"Everyone can exercise basic restraint."

"This shows that they are probably used to following a highly strict order on a daily basis."

"And this order is relatively fair, or the punishment for violation is extremely severe."

"This is why they rely on inertia to maintain restraint even in a short period of time when there is no one to control them."

“Plus, many of them have wireless headphones in their ears.”

"But judging by their expressions, they didn't look like they were listening to music or other audio entertainment."

"I have reason to suspect that they use artificial intelligence to assist management."

“The whole city is extremely intelligent.”

Sun Jiasheng's voice is clear and powerful, and is quite contagious.

And what he said was meaningful.

Many of the members of parliament present could not help but think about it.

After he spoke.

Several more members of parliament spoke out.

Some continued to analyze the previously broadcast TV content, while others came up with some exclusive intelligence.

Obvious.

Before this meeting, many members had already noticed Jianghe City, a small and remote city, and had carefully collected relevant information.

Through the description of these people.

Many people who knew nothing about Jianghe City also had a clear understanding of it.

It is a city with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, precision electronic manufacturing, and abundant martial virtues.

Although no matter which area, it cannot compare with the scale of a real provincial capital city.

But in terms of specialization.

But it is not inferior, and even surpasses the provincial capital.

Of course, if that's all.

Jianghe City can only be considered half a provincial capital at best.

It has basically nothing to do with Changming City, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away.

But the crux of the matter lies in the news it released today.

It was announced that the staple food seeds had been successfully developed.

This matter is extremely important and is closely related to the future of Changming City.

"Everyone should be aware of the specific situation."

"The other side's scientific research capabilities are very strong, and its military strength is not weak either."

"There is no way to use force to force them like we do with some ordinary cities."

"Plus, the other party has already proven through their actions that they are capable of stably ruling over tens of millions of people."

“It has the qualifications to become a super city.”

"So I suggest that we establish formal diplomatic relations with them."

“And propose to the Alliance to invite Jianghe City to become our new partner.”

Song Hong, who was sitting at the upper position, looked quite serious.

Invite a new super city to join the alliance.

To everyone present, it was both important and unimportant.

It's important because.

That means they formally acknowledged that the other party was qualified to be on an equal footing with their Changming City as a whole.

As an individual in Changming City.

If we cannot unify the will of the entire Changming City when we speak out in the future.

Then when they face Jianghe City, they will naturally be inferior.

It doesn't matter because such recognition is just a nominal benefit without any cost.

Apart from the fact that some of them may feel a little embarrassed in the future.

It will basically not affect your personal interests.

Seeing that Song Hong, the speaker of the parliament, initiated the vote.

The other 56 city councillors were present.

After discussing quietly for a while.

Also began to exercise their voting rights.

Agree, Agree, Agree—

In the end, the proposal was agreed with a ratio of 36:20.

"Then, next."

"The mission to Jianghe City will be handed over to Councillor Sun Jiasheng."

Song Hong looked at the congressman he had nominated to be in charge of the mission with a slightly emotional look.

It feels like witnessing history.

Knowing that he has gone there, there will most likely be a new super city in the future.

Admit and join their circle of power.

This may in turn affect the situation in the entire East Continent.

They need to prepare for this in advance.

11 month 21 day.

A large biplane helicopter.

It slowly landed on a temporarily cleared area near the Jingyuan Shelter in Jianghe City.

Sun Jiasheng, wearing exoskeleton armor, brought his staff with him.

Get on a snow transport vehicle that is responsible for welcoming you.

Enter the interior of Jingyuan Shelter.

"I didn't expect your environment to look so simple."

"There is no aura of a superpower at all."

"Just like a normal large shelter."

In the shelter, Sun Jiasheng opened his mask and carefully observed the scenery along the way.

I couldn't help but sigh.

“This is a large shelter.”

"It is just temporarily serving as the external reception center for the entire Jianghe City."

The Jianghe City staff who were in charge of accompanying him looked a little embarrassed when they heard this.

It’s hard to tell whether this is a mockery or praise.

"I took the liberty."

I noticed that the accompanying personnel's expression was quite stiff.

Sun Jiasheng realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something wrong.

He really didn't mean it.

It was purely because Jianghe City was already regarded as an equal force, and subconsciously believed that the layout of Jingyuan Shelter was somewhat unworthy of Jianghe City's status.

But wrong is wrong.

I can only bow my head and apologize.

It took several minutes to reach the meeting room on the second floor underground of the shelter.

Here, Sun Jiasheng saw the holographic projection of Su Wu.

Skip the small talk.

Sun Jiasheng directly extended the invitation.

"Southeastern Conference."

Su Wu repeated it, feeling extremely unfamiliar with the name.

“This isn’t really a formal organization.”

"It's this southeastern area, with several cities with populations exceeding 10 million."

“A platform for mutual communication established after the end of the world.”

“Neither side has too many rights and obligations.”

Sun Jiasheng explained.

Even though he seems inconspicuous in the Changming City Council.

But no matter what, it is one of the highest levels in a mega city with a population of tens of millions.

Many secret messages are no longer secrets to him.

Therefore, for the Southeastern Conference.

He knows everything about it.

"In this case."

"Of course."

Su Wu understood instantly that this was actually a chat group.

Essentially.

It is similar to the private groups among the people in Jianghe City that Su Wu had joined in the past.

Most group members have different identities, and they all come from high-level officials in the super city.

Su Wu was not opposed to such things.

Even if nothing is achieved in the end.

Just during the communication process, some information was revealed that only people at their level would know.

It's worth the trouble.

"Besides, we came here this time."

"Another purpose is to purchase a batch of rice seeds."

"The original species you researched."

"You can be considered the savior of our Dongzhou."

The staple food seeds of this world are basically monopolized by several agricultural companies located in the federal capital of North America.

It’s okay in peacetime, you can buy it whenever you want.

After entering the end of the world, almost all intercontinental transportation routes were cut off.

If you want to buy seeds again, the difficulty will increase by who knows how many times.

However, although it is an exaggeration.

But in fact, staple food seeds are not a necessity for Sun Jiasheng and his team.

Without the original seeds, the yield will simply get lower and lower.

At most, the food quality of middle-class families will be downgraded by several levels.

It will not affect people like Sun Jiasheng who are at the pinnacle of power.

Nor will the lower-class people who cannot afford staple food starve to death.
