Chapter 622 Everyone has their own ideas, the weapons development geniuses in the mountains!
It's a cold day in Shanyue Village.
As the host, Feng Mengyue spent almost all of her family wealth to prepare this grand feast, full of sincerity.
in.
Although there is little meat, there are many wild vegetables with unique flavors that people can enjoy.
Although there is no good wine, there is sweet mountain spring water flowing down the throat to refresh the soul.
Paired with bowls of light yellow noodles with bran and fresh corn cobs.
After the meal, not to mention Feng Long sitting next to him who never stopped talking, even Su Mo couldn't help but praise him again and again.
"These wild vegetables taste really good. If we can cultivate them and increase their yield, they may be able to replace the vegetables on our planet that are not adapted to the environment."
Sitting next to him, Feng Mengyue nodded with a smile: "Exactly, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. The reason why I chose this place was that I could observe this unique terrain and save a lot of trouble in the early stage.
These plants grow wild in the mountains"
"They are rich in dietary fiber and have a strong sense of satiety. They also contain some trace elements that our bodies need, and their nutritional value is extremely high."
"It's a pity that after studying these things for about half a month, we have only obtained seeds for the time being. Whether we can successfully cultivate them depends on whether we can try more after this snowy day!"
Talking to smart people saves time and effort.
Upon hearing the deeper meaning revealed in Feng Mengyue's words, Sumo pondered for a moment, first looked at the other people sitting at the table, and then made sure that the refugees at the table next to him would not hear.
Then he continued the conversation and said with a smile: "Why, are you moving out so soon?"
In this vast mountainous area, before snowfall, there are naturally many benefits.
Not only does the natural mountain serve as a barrier to defend against attacks from external enemies, but also from various natural disasters.
There are also countless natural resources on the mountain to supplement food supplies.
If you rely on mountains, you can eat mountains; if you rely on water, you can eat water.
If there were not frequent disasters, even Soma would consider establishing a sub-territory here as a fallback route.
Unfortunately, after the heavy snow fell, all this disappeared in an instant.
Even if the snow is tens of meters thick, it will take at least several years to melt before the vegetation below can be seen, even if it is a scorching hot weather outside.
At the same time, the snow water when the snow melts will also destabilize the foundation of the mountain.
Once a mudslide occurs, it is a natural disaster no less than a major disaster!
"Yes, if you don't come, I may bring people to stay here for another three to five months. When I have sufficient supplies, I will find a way to move to other places for development."
"But now, with our Su Shen here, we naturally want to borrow your strength, right~"
First, she made a haha, which made everyone at the table stop their chopsticks and smile. Then Feng Mengyue said seriously:
"Actually, I have already planned and prepared for the relocation, but as time goes by, more and more things accumulate, and the tail becomes too big, which makes it a headache."
"In the current situation, even if I am willing to carry a few taels of supplies, travel lightly, and move to another place to start over, these people who originally followed me will not be willing."
"Their supplies are here, their houses are here, and their roots are here. It's so difficult to leave!"
After talking about the current situation, Feng Mengyue looked helpless and began to slowly talk about why she came here in the first place.
When the third ocean disaster strikes.
As a relatively well-developed group of human beings, Feng Mengyue decided to rush to the New World in advance.
Moreover, their execution ability is also amazing.
As soon as the sea rose, he drove ships of various sizes and headed straight for the new continent indicated in the prompts without looking back.
One comes and one goes.
It only took about ten days, and before the Baisha ruins were even opened for entry, they had successfully traveled to the New World in a time jam.
At this time, the new alien races had not yet arrived, and there were only a handful of humans on the New World.
It seems like there are treasures everywhere and opportunities for development everywhere.
But reality is exactly the opposite.
Because they went up too fast, not only did they not enjoy the pioneer rewards that the game issued after Soma defeated the five ancestors.
Nor did I enjoy the blessings that were enough to get me through the difficult early days.
Relying on slow footwork, it took them six days to get there just from the shore of the New World to a place slightly in the middle.
"At that time, I saw that everyone was in extremely poor mental condition and had basically reached their physical limit. So even though there was no terrain in that plain to stop others from attacking, and there were no abundant resources to survive the early stage, I still had no choice but to make it."
Pointing to a point on the hand-drawn map, Feng Mengyue's eyes were filled with sadness.
I left early, but stopped before I found a suitable territory location and fertile real estate resources.
Its direct meaning is very simple.
Even if they ran fast, they still lost the advantage of landing in the New World early.
But at that time, it was not clear how long it would take for the alien races and large numbers of humans to arrive.
So after careful consideration, Feng Mengyue still made a compromise.
The first temporary territory was placed on a plain 700 kilometers away from the coast and 1,150 kilometers away from the mountains.
The first three days of camp.
All the refugees who followed Feng Mengyue were still happy, thinking that they had found a paradise.
While other humans were still struggling to survive on the ocean, they already had fertile land for cultivation, and the wild vegetables everywhere were enough to satisfy their hunger.
But then, this happy time did not last more than a week and became everyone's nightmare.
When the first strange alien race descended on the New World.
A chase and turf war began tragically, with the big fish eating the small fish.
"At that time, there were about 500 people in my territory. On the way to the New World, more than 2,000 people were admitted one after another. In its heyday, there were about 3,400 people in my territory. It was very popular."
"It's a pity that the big tree attracts the wind. In the eyes of these alien races, we are fat lambs. In just two days, all the defense facilities we set up have become useless, and the things we built in the early stage must also be discarded."
As she spoke, Feng Mengyue drew a finger on the map and drew out an escape route with twists and turns.
"It starts here and ends at the mountains of thousands of miles, with a total of about 1,500 kilometers in between. The battle line is extremely long."
"We were on the road during the day, and we had to guard against foreign attacks at night. When we left, there were more than 3,000 people. By the time we reached the edge of the thousands of miles of mountains, there were not enough people."
"five hundred!"
The battle damage was as high as seven to one, which was shocking to hear.
Even if we exclude some of them who set up their own business and some who look hopeless and run away, this number is enough to make people feel exaggerated.
"But one good thing is that these five hundred people are basically those who followed us in the wasteland from the beginning."
"They have always believed in us and been willing to follow us from the beginning to the end. Others who joined temporarily at sea basically walked away and died. There are not many left."
Recalling the hardships of those days, I looked with relief at the refugees around me who were still enjoying their feast.
Feng Mengyue smiled, and the meaning was self-evident.
She had long wanted to move, and she had been able to do so long ago.
But staying here is her true intention.
These people who have followed him since the beginning of the wasteland have been wandering around for too long.
Even if they wanted to take them away from this place and go to an unknown area, Feng Mengyue would not have the courage to bear the consequences of failure.
"What if I give you a chance and take you away, to my territory?"
Knocking on the table and looking at Feng Mengyue's complicated expression, Sumo leaned forward slightly, releasing a burst of pressure.
From the beginning to the present, perhaps in the eyes of others, Feng Mengyue was pouring out her bitterness and talking about all the injustices she suffered during this period.
But in Somo's eyes.
In a sense, Feng Mengyue is adding weight to herself.
She was conveying to Somo the value of herself and others in a subtle way.
On the way to the New World through the ocean, he gathered more than 3,000 people and demonstrated his command and leadership abilities.
Through continuous escape in the New World, he finally came to the mountains and showed his ability to make decisions.
By explaining from the side that these five hundred people were her cronies who followed her from beginning to end, she demonstrated her ability to control them.
This is a very clever way of hinting.
It's so clever that ordinary people can't understand it. In addition to these meanings, she conveys a deeper meaning.
"To your territory?"
Feng Mengyue was stunned at first, then raised her head and was about to agree with a smile.
But after noticing that Su Mo's expression was solemn and the corner of his mouth was playful, he quickly changed the subject:
"I am responsible for the development of the territory, Chang'an is responsible for the territorial force, Guanshan is responsible for external trade, and Xiaoyu is responsible for the research and development of weapons and equipment."
"When you find Guan Shan, if you are still short of people, take the three of them away. Staying with me will only waste their talents."
Feng Mengyue is very smart.
The villagers were unwilling to leave as an excuse for refusal.
At this time, Somo had no reason to continue asking, so he had to release the pressure around him and lay back on the chair.
This is rejection.
But he didn't reject it completely.
"It seems that Feng Mengyue is really ambitious. She doesn't want to be subordinated to others by my hand. Moreover, she is unwilling to leave. These people who are following her will definitely not leave her behind. This is a good trick of retreating in order to advance!"
Sumo thought to himself.
Not everyone wants to join someone else's territory.
In Shanyue Village, Feng Mengyue and others have the supreme ruling power and can handle all matters with full authority.
He is a standard native emperor.
certainly.
Sumo also believed that it was not Feng Mengyue and others who were greedy for the power they had left here.
But they know very well that they have many capable people, and even if they join, they may not be able to hold a position below one person or above ten thousand people.
"In that case, let's wait until we are rescued from Guanshan. There is no rush in this matter!"
With a slight wave of his hand, Sumo stood up and walked out with a smile as if nothing was wrong.
Look at his handsome back.
Feng Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief obviously, but then, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Although this result was what she wanted.
But when he actually got it, he worried about gain and loss, feeling like he had lost a huge opportunity.
However, that's it.
There was no use thinking about regrets, Feng Mengyue quickly changed her mind and put it behind her.
Time passes.
The escorts who had decided to rest here for the day were not busy on their way after eating.
As the soldiers entered the prepared houses, they began to rest.
The village gradually became deserted again.
There was no electricity, and torches were in short supply. At six o'clock in the afternoon in the mountains, it was night.
After walking around outside, I took the nearby terrain into my mind.
Somo also returned to the village again, opened the door of the previous stone house and walked in.
Different from the gloomy darkness in the afternoon.
At night, when three small oil lamps were lit in the middle of the house, the inside looked warm and bright.
Sitting in front of the only table, Feng Mengyue lowered her head and worked at the desk. She didn't know what she was writing or drawing.
The chubby girl in charge of weapon research and development, whom Feng Mengyue called Xiaoyu, was sitting on her bed, also tinkering with something.
Guan Yu'an was lying on the sofa mischievously, holding a thick book in his hand and reading happily.
Saw Somo coming in.
Except Feng Mengyue raised her head, said hello, and then turned her attention back again.
The other two people were surprised, and they immediately jumped up, like fans who saw a celebrity, and gathered around him.
"Brother Su, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Running over affectionately, Guan Yuan didn't have the same chic demeanor as the second sister before.
She was not ashamed to hold Somo's hand, and straightened up, she dragged Somo inside.
"Guan Yu usually likes you. One night, he was still mumbling your name while talking in his sleep."
"I don't have any!"
Having been exposed, the chubby little Yu just jumped out of bed, her face turned red and she was very angry.
This look was quite like a child's quarrel, and when it fell into Somo's eyes, it actually made him laugh.
"I heard that you developed all the weapons in the territory. That's good. You can make such a powerful weapon at a young age."
"This strength is extraordinary!"
Ordinary landmines, defensive traps, inferior hand rub shotguns.
The technological content of these things is average, there are many constraints in their use, and they are of little value.
But the thunderous crossbow was extremely deadly.
If the launcher had better accuracy, a large number of people could be taken away with just one shot.
"Hey, Brother Sumo, are you talking about Thunderbolt Crossbow?"
Compared to the two of them, Xiaoyu is younger, probably only in her early twenties.
Coupled with her small body shape and face, she looks like a little lolita about fifteen years old.
At this time, seeing that Su Mo was quite interested, Xiaoyu also became energetic. She quickly took the two of them to the inner room, lit the oil lamp, and dug out a large number of models from the box under the bed.
Among them, the first one was the Thunderbolt Crossbow that Sumo saw with his own eyes before!
"The Thunderbolt Crossbow is not simply about tying explosives to the arrow and then launching it into the enemy's position."
"At the beginning of the design, what I was thinking was that if the enemy wanted to use a shield to defend me, I would just let it explode."
"So, I made the entire front half of the shaft and arrowhead of the Thunderbolt Crossbow filled with explosives, and added a trigger detonation device."
"It's a pity that such a design requires us to have an extremely high level of craftsmanship. During the production process, once there is a deviation, it is easy to explode as soon as it is fired."
"After a long time, I only accumulated three rounds."
"There are only two rounds left. I used one last night."
Following Xiaoyu's words, Guan Yu'an stuck out his tongue and added.
A whimsical idea does not mean that a large number of standard weapons can be produced.
The reason why high-tech weapons on earth can develop rapidly in modern times is completely inseparable from the help brought by high-precision industry.
In Shanyue Village, there are no suitable workers or complete instruments. It is difficult to achieve mass production even with these drawings and production methods by hand.
However, all this is not a problem for Somo and Hope Village.
Looking around, I looked at the remaining models.
Sumo lowered his body and his interest suddenly surged up.
