After the meeting, I stayed at Sylwen's house in Wind Valley City for one night, but I still didn't expect the assassination scene.
I'm a little disappointed. There was no movement during the whole process, which shows that my strength is still too weak and no one can take it seriously.
It may also be that we have fought less and gained so much territory. We have fought battles in Red Rock City and Junction City, and they were all completed in just a few days.
Helpless, he still wanted to see the security capabilities of the Inner Guards, so he could only wait until his next trip to see if anyone could seize the opportunity.
The steam locomotive stayed behind to wait for him and returned the group to the royal city before returning to normal mode. However, it was not normal. The railway bureau arranged for full-load transportation without coming up. It would take some time for personnel, logistics, and loading and unloading to adjust.
After returning to the palace to do daily work, it didn't take long for three groups of envoys from the new city to throw their way.
The model adopted is still the Wind Valley model, where local lords and administrative teams are dispatched to carry out de-slavery, land recovery and other restructuring work. After the preliminary work is almost completed and public security is stabilized, professional administrators will take over.
The smallest of the three new cities is Green City next to Wind Valley and Green City by the Green River. It took me a few seconds to think about the name.
The population of Green Green is lower than that of the original Wind Valley, but including the refugees to the east, it is still over ten thousand.
The two cities to the east and west of Junction City are slightly larger, probably because they are easier to destroy due to insufficient military pressure. The populations of these two cities are more than 20,000.
There are only 60,000 people in the three cities combined. There is definitely an error in the preliminary statistics, but it won't be too different.
The cities are all very small, which is probably related to the governance form of independent lords. They lack transportation conditions and information communication. Even if a single city has some specialties, it is difficult to attract many foreigners to settle there. Of course, the main problem is that the average life expectancy is too low. , population increase does not work.
The issue of average life expectancy will not be solved for a while. It can only be said that the territory belongs to oneself, and the life safety of the people at the bottom is somewhat guaranteed. It should not be a big problem to increase from under thirty years old to fifty-five years old. Children born in their own territory do not need to suffer from hunger when they are young. The average life expectancy of this group is expected to exceed 60 years, and any further increase will depend on medical treatment.
Wang Qi did not take the initiative to promote the development of medical treatment. It was too difficult to achieve. In his previous life, human medical treatment had been carried out for hundreds of years, and there were still a lot of problems that had not been solved. There were so many mixed-race people in the exile, and he didn’t even know where to start when doing a drug test. How could he talk about it? What system of medical care.
Now we can only hope for magical means, such as accelerating cell division, replenishing vitality, etc., to do some emergency treatment work.
Turn your gaze back to the north.
After the First Battalion withdrew to two hundred kilometers away from the lava lake, its contact with the demons decreased a lot. However, the latest news returned showed that the situation was not good. Among the demons active around the lava lake, there were people using non-fire magic. of individuals.
It is speculated that there may be many areas in the inner circle of the lava lake where the temperature has dropped to the point where the protein will not be cooked.
How exactly...
"Let's go take a look." Wang Qi decided to evaluate it with his own eyes.
"Okay!" In Li Xiang's view, it was really hard to deal with official duties. The train trip back and forth was not relaxing at all, and it had been more than half a month.
The decision was made to automate the official business as before when going to the underground caves, and let Elena handle part of it. The parts she had no authority to stamp would be sent to the first camp by Natasha, and they would be moved later.
After returning to the palace for more than ten days before setting off, the number of people was still about the same.
On the way, Akeem was asked to plant a seed in the titanium mining area.
It took a few days to arrive at the 1st Battalion camp to rest. Under the protection of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company, they arrived at the Lava Lake area and ordered them to stay behind. They also left the inner court guards except Akeem. They entered under the worried eyes of these people. Within the lake area.
Only taking Li Xiang, Bai Xiaojiao, and Akeem who arrived one night late, they headed to the lava lake.
The screening mechanism mainly looks at attributes and appearance.
Wang Qi and Li Xiang are Night Clan who have not completed the mutation. People in the exile can recognize them, but people in the main world may not necessarily recognize them.
In order to prevent accidents, Wang Qi and Li Xiang also wore sunglasses.
These sunglasses are not decorations. They are anti-glare glasses made by the glass factory to meet the needs of heavy industry. They are mainly used for welding work and have not yet developed into a specialized welding mask.
During the research and development process of sunglasses, many sunglasses with insufficient shading were produced. The glass factory disposed of them and sold them everywhere by merchants. Wang Qi was the last to know about them. The first person in the palace to know about them was Elena, who was responsible for purchasing and financial expenditures. , and when she came to speak, Wang Qi thought of asking the army to purchase a batch of ones with lower opacity.
The main purpose of purchasing sunglasses for the military is to avoid blurred vision when light and dark alternate, such as when entering and exiting dark rooms or caves.
Before, without sunglasses, more people needed to be left outside in places with large brightness changes. Now, fewer people can be left outside. Even if the people who stay outside have their heads touched, they will not die without resistance when they go out.
Not necessarily useful, but necessary to equip.
Now it is just for Wang Qi and Li Xiang to use.
Apart from his incorrect attributes, Akeem is basically a pure human, and he doesn't have to worry about encountering human teams on the road.
Three people and one bear are all wearing armor.
Compared with the ultra-flat lava terrain where the Wangting Tree is located, the lava lake is a typical cooling from the outside in.
There are various chemical and physical reactions in high-temperature lava. Affected by internal air pressure and hydraulic pressure, the cooling skin will rupture many times, and new magma will occasionally gush out. It must be repeated many times to form a thick enough rock layer.
The temperature outside the lava lake is already very low, only two or three degrees higher than the surrounding areas, and the surface temperature is a little higher.
You will be attacked by demons on the way.
Wang Qi's mastery of several magics is basically negligible, but with his extreme mysterious attributes, he can disperse fireballs with his fists.
The fireball trajectories of the little devil and Goma are slower than crossbows, so there is no threat at all, and several of them are fully armored. Even if they are really hit by fireballs in the lake, it will be fine. The fireballs of low-level monsters have poor continuous burning ability, as long as they are not The burning of combustible materials on the body will cause the armor to heat up to more than 20 degrees at most, and the heat will soon dissipate.
It's just that there are a lot of Goma groups, so it still takes some trouble occasionally.
The further we walked toward the center, the higher the surface temperature became. We walked about 20 kilometers and found that three people and one bear had killed more than two hundred demons. There were dozens of little demons flying around above their heads. Their magic power had been exhausted. They didn't dare to come down, and the three of them ignored them.
The surface temperature here has exceeded fifty degrees. After walking for a short distance, Wang Qi jumped off the bear's back, and Li Xiang followed.
"Li and I want to go ahead, and Akeem and Bai Xiaojiao will follow behind. Don't get too close, as long as they can see us."
"Your Majesty, be careful."
"Um."
Li wanted to hold Bai Xiaojiao's ear alone and talk to him to make him obedient.
Maybe it has something to do with the added attributes and mutations, or maybe the bears in Elena's hometown are so smart. Bai Xiaojiao can already understand many people's words directly, but he just doesn't like to pay attention to them.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
You need to walk to get here, because the increase in ground temperature has made Bai Xiaojiao a little uneasy.
Although the material of Bai Xiaojiao's armor is similar to that of Wang Qi and Li Xiang, it is a bear after all. It has no "sole" and is supported on the ground by four fleshy palms.
Although the temperature has not risen to a level that it cannot bear, the increase in surface temperature means that the thickness of the cooling layer has shrunk. Although the normal pressure per unit area of a bear's paw is lower than that of a human, it is too big and will rupture on the surface if it continues to move forward. The risk will increase.
Although Wang Qi and Li Xiang are ordinary people, the heavy armor given by Solaris is almost as heavy as a person. The maximum pressure exerted on the ground by walking slowly will not be worse than that of Bai Xiaojiao. The place they can walk is It will be relatively safer.
In addition, because of the heavy armor lining, even if the two of them accidentally stepped on the lava surface, as long as they shrank quickly, the heat would be dispersed by metal conduction to the entire calf before the lining overheated, which should not reach a hundred degrees.
So they are safer in front.
