PNB Chapter 621 The Cornerstone of the Imperial Capital
Chapter 621 The Cornerstone of the Imperial Capital
“In that case, then I…”
Upon hearing Cang Nian's words, Luo Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately offered to lead the way and act as a tour guide.
This is a great opportunity to befriend the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom!
"Uncle Luo, you should just give up!"
You're not like me. There are only three fifth-tier space-type experts in our capital, and you have to guard the teleportation array.
The other two have gone out on fieldwork and won't be back for several days.
Uncle Luo, you don't need to run around doing the tour guide work anymore!
Seeing that Luo Yu wanted to take his "good job," Yang Feng was immediately displeased and interrupted.
However, his words struck right at Luo Yu's weak point, leaving Luo Yu speechless.
Indeed, although Yang Feng is one of the fifth-tier powerhouses stationed in Tianjin, there are too many people who can replace him. It won't be a big problem to change the squad later.
However, as one of only three fifth-tier space-type powerhouses in the capital, he couldn't just leave whenever he wanted.
"Hey... fine, you got off easy, kid!"
Helpless, Luo Yu could only shake his head.
……
"Hi everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting!"
The capital city is great in every way, except that everything has to be reported and approved at every level.
However, things are much better now that the spiritual energy has been restored!
Now we can go and explore the city!
But please don't stray too far from me and Menglan, don't suddenly reveal your true form, and don't attack without reason.
Personally, I trust that everyone will not do anything reckless, but these are the requirements from above, so please bear with me!
So, where are you all planning to start your tour?
Upon the arrival of the Ark in the capital, Cang Nian and his group did not immediately go for a visit. Instead, they were instructed to wait in the teleportation array area for further instructions.
After waiting for about two and a half hours, Yang Feng returned, waving and smiling.
Meanwhile, the area around the teleportation array was completely surrounded.
Seeing such a futuristic and colossal flying object as the Ark hovering in mid-air, anyone would want to come and see what's going on.
However, Cangnian didn't care about those watching the spectacle.
What concerned him most was that he had quietly moved 90% of his speed and strength attribute values to the spirit column, greatly improving his perception ability.
He felt no fewer than fifty obvious prying eyes coming from all directions.
For the ancients, beings at different levels of life have different perspectives.
Anyone who can directly see him must be a fifth-tier expert!
In other words, there are no fewer than fifty fifth-tier powerhouses in the vicinity of the capital alone!
Furthermore, considering that there are also fifth-tier powerhouses like Yang Feng who have been dispatched abroad, as well as some who are busy with other matters and did not specifically come out to see the news of the arrival of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
The number of fifth-tier experts in the capital city is likely to exceed one hundred!
Even though Cangnian had some mental preparation for the power of the capital city based on Menglan and Yang Feng's few words, he was still frightened by the terrifying scale of the powerful figures.
"I want to see first how the capital city supports 25 million people."
Upon hearing Yang Feng ask where he planned to start his stroll, Cang Nian pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.
"Hmm... Do you want to know about the food sources in the capital?"
"Of course, no problem! Everyone, follow me!"
Yang Feng pondered for two seconds, then nodded.
……
To Cang Nian's surprise, Yang Feng didn't simply tell his group about the food sources in the capital. Instead, he led them to a very wide entrance that stretched downwards from the capital.
During this time, many large transport vehicles lined up in long queues, getting on and off, and moving in a crisscrossing pattern.
"Are these cars all powered by spiritual energy?"
Seeing this, Cangnian asked curiously.
Of course!
Don't think that only your Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom can master spiritual energy technology!
There are plenty of smart people out here in Beijing!
"I figured out how to utilize spiritual energy a long time ago!"
Meng Lan, who was accompanying Cang Nian's group like Yang Feng, raised her chin proudly.
Upon hearing this, Cangnian did not refute, but nodded in agreement.
As a data being, Noah does indeed have unparalleled advantages in scientific research.
But thinking and innovation, summarizing and extending, are the very gifts of humankind, this intelligent species.
Not to mention, the capital city has such a large population, and before the spiritual energy revival, it was the place with the highest concentration of universities and scientific research talents in the Dragon Kingdom.
In addition, evolution can steadily improve a person's mental strength, speed up thinking, improve memory, and make their thoughts more active.
Therefore, it couldn't be simpler to develop the Reiki-driven device as soon as possible.
"Haha, Menglan is right!"
The fact that the capital can support such a large population is inseparable from the research talents in various fields!
Just like the food-related questions you want to know, they are also answered by those experts and professors!
Look! We've arrived just ahead!
Yang Feng agreed, and then pointed forward, directing the gaze of Cang Nian and his group to look ahead.
There, a wide passageway slanted downwards, leading to the area beneath the capital, connected to an underground space of unknown size.
This underground space is about fifteen meters high.
And this 15-meter section, excluding the top 3 meters, consisted of four layers of scaffolding.
Each shelf is filled with tender white stems of varying thicknesses, all crammed together, with tiny, emerald-green leaves sprouting from them.
The tallest one is two and a half meters high, leaving only a half-meter gap between the shelves.
Cang Nian could see that these tallest tender stems and leaves would be pulled out by farmers standing on trellises, one by one, and collected together to load onto trucks.
"This is a type of moss that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences bred by crossbreeding countless evolved plants."
It is officially named 'base vegetable', meaning that our food originates from it.
Don't underestimate them because they look ordinary. They don't need sunlight or much nutrition. As long as there is water and some vitality, they can grow like crazy.
Moreover, its utilization rate of spiritual energy is extremely high. Anyway, I heard from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences that its utilization rate of spiritual energy is at least 25% higher than that of any other evolved organism!
In the spiritual environment following the second spiritual energy revival tide, once this base vegetable matures, it is equivalent to the second-tier level.
The white, translucent, long stems are very juicy when young, and have a slightly sweet taste, so they can be eaten as fruit.
Mature wheat may look tender, but it has a very high starch content, comparable to wheat.
The leaves can be boiled or stir-fried; they don't have much flavor, but they taste quite refreshing.
Previously, the base vegetables would ripen every three days, but now they ripen every day, and they grow up to look like bamboo.
This is what most ordinary people in the capital city use to fill their stomachs.
"If it weren't for this stuff, the capital would have long since split into several groups due to food shortages, scattering to find a way out."
Yang Feng stretched out his finger, circled it once, and pointed.
