The journey for the next three months was relatively smooth, and there were no major changes in the anomalies of animals and plants encountered. Except for the occasional flower growing on someone's head and grass growing on their arms during Mo Linri, there were no other problems.
According to Wang Qi's view of the solar terms in his previous life, around the beginning of September, a team of twenty-one people and one bear arrived at Yabur City, the regional capital.
Arriving at the temporary new residence in Yabur City, Elena drew with chalk on the blackboard and explained the situation in the city.
"Yabur City, with a permanent population of 100,000 before the disaster, was the largest inland city in the polar circle before the disaster.
The Obus River flows through here, forming a lake with an area of about eight square kilometers on the west side of the city, providing the city with stable fishery income. Further south is a basin called "Summer Solstice", where the average annual temperature is three degrees higher than the surrounding area. It is an important grain-producing area on the edge of the polar circle.
It can be said that without Yabur City, the Obs River and the Summer Solstice Basin, the areas further north would not be able to maintain towns with more than 5,000 people.
As a city of 100,000 people, Yabur City also has a more complete system, including more military-civilian integrated underground civil defense facilities (mostly in the form of underground garages), the only multi-department university in the Polar Circle, the Polar Circle Institute of Ecology, Institute of Polar Agriculture, Crop Seed Bank, Satellite TV Tower, etc.
Going upstream along the Obus River, there are no cities on the road. Except for scattered residents, there is only a small town of 2,000 people on the south bank. "
Elena had lived in this city for two years when she was young, but it was so long ago that she couldn't remember it. After arriving, she walked around for a long time under the protection of the Varya brothers and sisters before she remembered more about it.
Using some recalled landmarks, draw a general floor plan of the city and mark the nature of each block.
A city of 100,000 people is different. Yabur has three business districts, namely the wharf business district developed from the fishing and agricultural areas on the west side of the river, the industrial and commercial district on the north that is responsible for coordinating supplies for the entire northbound area, and the university on the east side of the river. The new business district in the northwest corner was on the way to expand into the central business district of Yabur City before the disaster.
The first website address is m.x63xS.
In addition to the industrial and commercial area, the other two commercial areas are mixed commercial and residential areas, which are very similar to those near the original base. They do not have pure commercial streets like those in million-person cities.
Confirming the scope of the business district first will help you search for a frame structure building with a more stable structure.
In addition, because Yabur City was once the frontline center against nodes in another world, there may be a huge amount of useful materials in the civil defense facilities in the form of underground garages.
"Where are the research institute and seed bank you mentioned?" Wang Qi asked.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention to these when I was young and didn't know their specific locations."
"Don't apologize, it's not your fault."
In peacetime, let alone only live for two years, many people who have lived for decades do not know how many research institutes there are in their city and what kind of research they do. Wang Qi was just trying his luck when he asked.
After looking at the rough floor plan on the blackboard and thinking about it, he still had to give priority to food, and said to the three Waliya brothers:
"You are responsible for searching westward along the river during the day, and Li Xiang and I are responsible for searching eastward at night. If we can find insects, we will choose a business district close to the insect swarms to spend the winter. If we can't find them within half a month, we will go to the dock merchants. Circle, you can break the ice on the lake to fish in winter.”
The city of Jabour is relatively large, and there is a section of the city on the south bank of the Obs River that belongs to another administrative division. It is also generally called the south city of Jabour.
The reconnaissance work before everyone arrived lacked a stable and safe place to stay, so I couldn't do it too carefully. I didn't know much about the situation in the city. I only knew that there were no bugs near the temporary new home near the north of the city. Now I need to further check the situation to see if it is necessary. Change wintering point.
Arrange the tasks and everyone acts in batches.
In the past few months on the road, for the sake of safety and the management of reform-through-labor prisoners, the three Varya brothers also took Anna and the blacksmith to learn some combat skills. The security work of the settlement was left to them and the blacksmith's younger brothers, and of course to Anna. To supplement her attributes, her force sensitivity is now 12, 13, and 19, which is not strong, but enough to suppress a few reform-through-labor prisoners.
In this way, the three Waliya brothers and Wang Qi and Li can rest assured when they want to stay at the residence, and taking turns going out will not give the labor reform prisoners a chance to escape.
Yabur City is about 110 kilometers away from the node of another world in a straight line, which is more than 40 kilometers closer than the city where Bai Xiaojiao was encountered. However, the ecological changes are not big, except that shrub animals are more common, and some trees often move around.
The seven- or eight-month-old Bai Xiaojiao is nearly 1.3 meters long. He is growing very fast, but he is not yet able to ride. Now he is responsible for scent tracking with Li Xiang.
Wang Qi can also enhance the sense of smell. The problem is that the olfactory receptors of the night ghost are the same as those of ordinary people, and the recognition accuracy and ability to distinguish the direction of the odor source are far inferior to those of the bear.
Bai Xiaojiao's attributes are not high, including a little improvement brought by growth. The five attributes are currently 8, 7, 13, 10, and 26. Among them, the basic values of mystery and resistance are 9 and 15. I don't know if it is a mutation. The result is that the fat bear itself is very tall. After all, when he saw the fat bear, he only had a flower on his head, which showed that he was not very affected by the devil.
Bai Xiaojiao's attributes must be discounted due to his incomplete muscle development, and his weight is not enough to exert his strength. He can barely fight a slightly larger reptile. He has no ability to participate in combat and can only be used as a pure olfactory detector.
Relying on the Bai Xiaojiao detector, Wang Qi's team discovered a reptile on the third day, followed its scent, and confirmed the location of the reptile swarm.
This insect swarm is a bit troublesome. The small reptiles also have wings and can fly short distances. Their total weight is less than fifteen kilograms and their meat content is limited.
The growth of wings is probably related to the Obus River. Didn't Elena say that there is a food-producing area to the south of the river. Even if no one maintains it, it will produce more wild seeds than other directions in the surrounding area.
Because bugs are small and can fly, on the way to explore the location of the insect nest, dozens of them would rush towards them at the same time to die. Even if Wang Qi and Li thought that they could kill them all without any injuries, they would be annoyed. As the density of the insect swarm became higher and higher, the intervals between attacks became shorter and the number increased. In the end, there was no other way, and the guards made a tactical retreat without even seeing them.
He left the insect corpses on the ground and took half the bag of insect legs back.
The ratio of thickness to legs of this insect is not as good as that of crawling insects. If you go to a settlement and cut a few of them off, you will find that there are only two ounces of meat in one leg, and there are only three ounces in more legs.
"There are too many legs, I have to peel them off until dawn." Li Xiang complained, leaving two legs for Bai Xiaojiao to chew on. It was growing teeth, and gnawing on the insect legs could relieve the itch.
Wang Qi also stopped, looked at these little broken legs, and came up with an idea: "If you don't need to pull the cart in winter, let the Eight Great Vajras take care of this job."
The Eight Great Vajra is the nickname Wang Qi gave to the reform-through-labor prisoners, and he would not say it to their faces.
The handling of insect legs is a minor issue, the real problem is that flying insects are a bit difficult to deal with.
Wang Qi and Li Xiang can handle it now because the number of flying insects in each group is limited. But if they are provoked, will they attack overwhelmingly?
Being able to fly is a special advantage that needs to be handled with more caution.
It’s better to turn your main business into fishing. Anyway, when you go up the river next year, you will probably need to rely on fish as your main food source. It is necessary to practice fishing skills.
The next day, I exchanged information with the three Valia brothers and sisters, and something happened there.
"The area of the lake doesn't match what mom said. It's definitely more than eight square kilometers, maybe eight hundred square kilometers. There are also strange shadows in the distance, like some kind of floating object."
There is no random doubt about the authenticity of the information provided by Elena. The size of the lake has no direct relationship with their future actions. Even the absence of a lake does not affect the direct acquisition of catches from the Obus River. It is completely meaningless to make lies here. .
In addition, if the lake really covers hundreds of square kilometers, the city of Yabur next to the lake will definitely not be the same size as it is now. Lakes of several hundred square kilometers are generally regional grain production centers. Even if the latitude here is relatively high, and assuming zero crop output, just The basic cold current fishery can also feed two to three hundred thousand people, so Yabur City will definitely not be the size it is now.
Elena was also a little dizzy: "The hydropower station is not that high. Blocking them all will not expand the lake surface that much."
Excluding the possibility of blockage of hydropower stations and formation of barrier lakes, resulting in area expansion, there is only one possibility left.
"So it's also the impact of the node from another world."
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
