Soon, all three children were implanted with identification chips.
Seeing that the matter was settled, County Governor Bai Su sent two messages:
"Weiling, Nanxing, Shanglu, and Jinu were temporarily returned to the county by Shi Chuanbai to arrange their residence and studies.
Li Lingyou and Xie Wuyi provided them with guidance on their warlock abilities during their service breaks, while the others continued to return to the conference hall to discuss other matters. "
Chuan Bai nodded to the four of them with a smile, and motioned for the four of them to follow them to one side of the square.
The metal floor tiles in the square slowly moved and staggered again, and a step appeared in front of the four people.
Chuan Bai walked down first. After about twenty steps, an elevator door appeared in front of him.
The door opened, Chuan Bai walked in, and dropped bags to the four of them:
"The entire city of Yasi is divided into five floors. The top floor you see is not for residential use. The various facilities on the ground you see are all military camps, office space and military installations. Strictly speaking, under the barrier, there is a Huge military formation.
On the lowest level of the county city, there are passages deep into the mantle layer, which are mainly mineral collection and geothermal energy collection devices. Of course, there are also controllable fusion arrays to provide sufficient energy for various devices in the county city;
The fourth floor is mainly the production area, including various smelting, machinery, pharmaceuticals, food, etc.
The third level is where a large number of natural people live, which is a city in the traditional sense;
The second level is where sergeants, warlocks, and militia organizations live... By the way, you now have an identification system. You can connect to the barrier and query the information corresponding to all permissions. Find out for yourself. "
Wei Ling felt relieved.
I have always thought that Iasi County is very strange. Basically, I haven’t seen anyone. It turns out that the people live underground!
He couldn't help but ask:
"Master Chuanbai, how much resources will be needed to build such a huge metal city?"
Chuan Bai smiled and shook his head:
"Today's world is different from ancient times. For the empire, alloy metals are as cheap as wood and sand, except for special metals, of course.
Since almost all human beings moved underground, we have learned more about this home planet where we have lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
The various metal reserves in the earth's mantle were unimaginable to ancient people. At that time, humans only developed the surface of the earth and had a serious lack of understanding of the underground.
In addition, there is no shortage of energy now. It is actually quite convenient to use intelligent robots to mine and smelt, and people are freed from heavy labor. "
After following Chuan Bai into the elevator, Wei Lingxin had doubts and asked bluntly:
"So, with such a large number of people living underground, wouldn't the underground city be huge?"
From the moment the county guard handed the four people over to Chuan Bai, who was in charge of civil and academic affairs, Welling had already interpreted the meaning of the county guard asking them to understand and integrate into the county as soon as possible.
"How many people are there? Do you know how many people there are in the world now?"
"It should be a lot, at least a few billion."
The elevator descended slowly, and the slightly flickering lights seemed to make Chuan Bai's face look a little gloomy:
"No, you are wrong, the current population of the entire home planet will not exceed 600 million people.
The empire has 150 million citizens, which is already the largest ethnic group on the entire home planet...
With nearly one million people, Iasi County is already the most populous town in the empire. Therefore, every citizen is precious to the empire. "
"how so?"
Chuan Bai's information was shared with four people, and Nan Xing was also surprised and asked.
Chuan Bai pondered for a moment, seeming to be weighing what information he could tell them now:
"Before the Great Annihilation, every country on the home planet seemed to have anticipated the possibility of a full-scale nuclear war. Almost all countries or regions with a little strength had prepared strategic bunkers and doomsday fortresses deep underground. Of course, the strength of our Xia clan Nature cannot be underestimated.
But the problem is that when the end of the world comes, there will still be very few people who can enter the shelter in time...
After the World Extermination War, the widespread nuclear radiation brought mankind to the near-extinction. Until now, the radiation on the surface of the earth has not reached the level that natural people in the old era could survive for a long time.
The melee and killings caused by various disorders after the war have once again reduced the number of remaining humans.
Radiation exists for a long time, and mutations continue to occur even deep underground.
More mutations are in the unfavorable direction.
Therefore, after learning from the painful experience, people today call the world-destroying nuclear war the Great Annihilation Event.
What's even more deadly is that after the Great Annihilation, human beings' reproductive capacity dropped sharply. It stands to reason that human beings have reached a considerable level of research on genes, but they still cannot improve their fertility.
It was not until around 2600 AD that the crisis of declining population was alleviated with the steady emergence of people with various abilities.
There are so many things that people with abilities can do, and their efficiency is far beyond human.
New systems, rules and conventions were born, and the number of humans began to rebound. Therefore, the whole world agreed to designate 2600 AD as the first year of divine revelation, and the empire currently adopts this calendar. "
After explaining this, the elevator stopped.
When the elevator door opened, a few people had no time to think about the history in Chuanbai's mouth. They were all stunned by the city in front of them.
A magnificent city appeared in front of us, about ten kilometers long and wide, with grid-shaped streets neatly arranged, like a huge matrix.
There is a huge metal pillar every few hundred meters in the street, reaching up to the dome to support the entire space.
It was hundreds of meters from the sky to the ground, and there was no feeling of depression at all.
The top of the dome is densely covered with lighting canopy. Even the color temperature of the light accurately simulates the natural light during the day. At first glance, it is no different from the natural sky.
Bizarrely, the streets are not meant for vehicles.
As far as the eye can see, there are only pedestrians on the street, no vehicles, and all the means of transportation are small rotorcraft, electromagnetic skateboards and the like.
At this moment, there are many aircraft flying silently at a height of tens of meters above the ground.
All the buildings in the city are Xia style courtyard houses, connected to each other.
Each courtyard also has different flowers, trees, fruit trees, and even vegetable patches.
There seems to be a breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers in the air.
The four of them were shocked and dumbfounded!
"It's shocking. Look at the dome sky. Its brightness is completely synchronized with that on the ground. It can also simulate the moonlight and starry sky at night, and occasionally it will turn on the rain mode, so that the people living below will not feel that it is happening at all. Underground cave.”
The message sent by Chuanbai already included pictures of the quiet night sky, starry sky, moonlit night, and rainy day.
"The empire is so great! We have never entered any underground city. We are always on the periphery. I thought cities were just docks and messy places. This place is so beautiful!"
Nanxing, Phytolacca and Jinu made no secret of their shock!
There are not many pedestrians on the street, most of them are wearing casual clothes of various colors, including clothing from the past dynasties, as well as various jackets, jackets, and overalls. It seems that no one cares.
At any rate, it’s much more interesting than when I only saw exoskeleton weapons before.
Everyone seemed to be walking in a hurry, busy with their own affairs, but once they saw Chuan Bai, they all bowed and saluted, and then looked at the other four people curiously.
The residents of the second floor are mainly warlocks, legionnaires, and militia members. Most of the people who can be brought over by Mr. Chuanbai are warlocks!
Based on this guess, the passers-by who saluted had a little favorable impression of the four of them.
Chuan Bai smiled and nodded in return, leading the four of them on the street in a certain direction, and kept dropping information packets to them:
"After settling in, you first need to connect to the barrier system, download the map, understand the various rules, your rights and obligations, and the location of free energy supply points.
If you want personalized consumption, you have to go to the third level, which is a secular city of natural people, where everything is sold.
By the way, you are all paupers now. I will guarantee you a small loan first. When you have money or meritorious deeds in the future, you will be able to repay it as soon as possible. "
While talking, a group of them arrived in front of a vacant courtyard, a simple gray brick courtyard with green tiles. The dark door opened automatically, and several people received a synthesized voice in their thoughts:
Authorized resident information detected! This is No. 36 Ginkgo Street, the second floor of Iasi County. Welcome home!
The three children rushed in happily, stood in the small yard, looked around, touched the pomegranate tree next to them, and smelled the hydrangeas in the small flower bed, as if they were in a dream.
Chuan Bai looked pleased. Seeing the children's happiness, he secretly gave Wei Ling a message:
"Welling, I have arranged for you to live in this small courtyard. These three children were rescued from the slave trade group. It was not easy for them to get to where they are today.
You have to work hard to improve yourself from now on and take more care of them."
At the same time, he also dropped some of the children's dream scenes from the previous "Taojie·Shiguang".
Welling's mood suddenly became a little sad.
He solemnly saluted Chuan Bai:
"Don't worry, sir! Although I haven't mastered any abilities yet, I will never stop being a mediocre mutant. I must become a powerful warlock and take good care of them!"
"Haha, it's great to have such confidence! However, I am very optimistic about these three children. Maybe they will become powerful warlocks in the future.
What you need to do now is to give them a childhood worth remembering, a time when they were growing up under the care of their elder brothers..."
Wei Ling was suddenly moved.
Through those dream scenes, he understood that Chuan Bai was worried about the shadows and insecurities that would always remain in the children's hearts.
These factors are enough to affect the growth of a warlock.
At some point, it will become their weakness and Achilles heel.
There are many people who spend their entire lives healing their childhood.
Just such a detail of Chuan Bai's entrustment made Welling feel the trust of an imperial official in him and the tenderness towards the children.
At this moment, Welling felt that this cold metal city seemed to have some warmth, which made him more confident about integrating into the empire.
In fact, this is because Wei Ling has never been in officialdom and cannot see Chuan Bai's carefulness.
Any abnormal exchange of expressions between Bai Su, Yang Qi and Qing Fu would make Chuan Bai pay attention to Wei Ling.
The amnesia should be real, but it is also true that the identity is probably not ordinary.
Although Chuan Bai is gentle and bookish, he is not stupid.
"Okay, children, you all can choose your own room. There are two rooms in three directions of this courtyard, which is enough for you to choose from."
Master Chuanbai seems to be in a good mood.
"Brother Welling, you choose first."
The three children sent out messages almost simultaneously.
Children's minds are simple and sensitive.
In those days, they looked at each other during the detention. During the subsequent inspection, Wei Ling was the first to enter the passage, and gave the slave an encouraging look. When Nan Xing lost strength and fell, Wei Ling casually mentioned...these are extremely small details. But it gave them an inexplicable trust in Welling.
Inspired by their kindness, Wei Wei smiled and sent a group message:
"I'm very casual, you can choose first!"
"No, you choose first, I want to live next to you!"
The little fat man immediately objected.
"I...me too..."
The slave also timidly expressed his opinion.
"..."
Nan Xing was speechless.
As a result, Welling randomly chose a room on the left side of the door, and the little fat man immediately chose the room on the right side of Welling, which was close to the door.
The slave chose the room on the left side of Welling.
Nan Xing chose the room facing the gate, next to Ji Nu. Next to his room was the reception room of the small courtyard.
In fact, there is nothing to choose from, the furnishings in each room are similar.
Imitation wood window lattice, solid wood desk, metal and fabric seats and beds, uniform style wardrobe and some green plants.
There are also several imitation classical Xia landscape paintings on the walls, which are simple and simple, with mainly gray tones, elegant and tranquil without losing their character.
The three children were visiting each other, looking here and there, and it seemed that the excitement was not over yet.
Chuan Bai nodded with a smile, threw a farewell message to them, and then Shi Shiran turned around and walked out.
He wants to return to the official office on the ground, and there are still many things waiting for him.
