Secretary Liu made a cup of tea for the two of them and then left.
From the moment Xu Le returned to Zion, their identities had changed and there was a gap.
Xu Le has become a congressman, and now he can indeed be regarded as one of the most powerful people in Zion.
Li Wen picked up the teapot, took a sip, and then stared at Xu Le.
As far as the contact between Li Wen and Xu Le was concerned, he knew very well that Xu Le often had ideas that seemed out of place but were actually quite surprising.
Just like before, their biggest achievement was the melting pot.
The emergence of the furnace can almost be said to have completely changed the course of Zion.
Just like what Xu Le once boasted about, the plan to subvert the times and make Zion great again.
Although it sounds stupid and half-baked, the reality is... the furnace is really awesome, even the Red Moon Temple has to accept it.
So this city in the sky...
"City in the Sky, shouldn't it be a city flying in the sky?"
Xu Le heard Li Wen ask this and grabbed Li Wen's hand.
"Uncle Li must understand me. You don't need to say anything, you will learn to answer quickly..."
Li Wen calmly withdrew his hand and wiped it on his clothes a few times:
"A city flying in the sky? A giant airship. I won't hide it from you, and I can't hide it from you. We have already prepared for this kind of thing before. Xia Libo also provided me with design drawings..."
Li Wen was still talking loudly, but Xu Le showed no intention of talking to him and just looked at him quietly.
I kept seeing Li Wen and didn’t know what to say anymore.
"Isn't it... a large airship?"
Xu Le shook his head slightly:
"Of course not. Although I don't know how Uncle Li connected the city with the large airship, it is obvious that he misunderstood what I meant."
"Is it really a city?" Li Wen still felt a little incredible.
"Yes, it is really a city." Xu Le replied affirmatively.
"But the question is, if you want to raise a city, how much energy supply is needed? How big is the balloon on it?
Have you ever thought that once such a large balloon is punctured in a weird way, it will inevitably tilt and repair it will be extremely difficult.
Even if the balloon can be layered and divided into regions, if you do that, the overall weight will increase..."
Li Wen started talking nonsense again, and Xu Le could already tell that he wanted to stop him.
Today's Zion is indeed unable to withstand the hardships.
But...
"Uncle Li, when did I say I wanted to get balloons?"
"Ah? How can we get into the air if we don't get a balloon?"
"There is more than one way to lift into the sky: balloons. If you can get rid of gravity, you can also rise into the sky."
"Get rid of gravity?"
Under Li Wen's puzzled gaze, Xu Le suddenly waved his hand, and Li Wen's body floated upward uncontrollably.
"What did you do?"
The things that floated with Li Wen were also his teapot.
The water in the teapot also floated, forming a water ball in the air, and it floated randomly due to the flow of Xu Le's fingertips.
"Let an object enter an unconventional zero-gravity or low-gravity state, and it can easily float in the sky.
This process does not require a balloon, it only requires a little constant energy and some multi-angle propulsion devices.
With the core of ancient music, it is naturally easy for us."
After Xu Le finished speaking, Li Wen slowly floated down.
He looked at Xu Le with complicated eyes. This guy's sudden appearance made his heart feel bad.
"This kind of thing..."
Li Wen didn't know what to say. Sky City is not like a furnace, the furnace is an energy supply device.
He can imagine and think.
But what is Sky City?
A city flying in the sky? How should it be planned? How should defense power, attack power, and weapons be configured? How stable is it?
If there is no fence, will you accidentally fall if you stand on the corner?
All these questions appeared in Li Wen's mind.
But it is undeniable that he is also full of expectations for a city that flies into the sky.
"How to make something like this?"
"This matter was indeed just thought of. Many aspects are immature, but what is certain is that the Sky City plan has been decided to be implemented.
I have reached an energy supply contract with the lighthouse. I will provide them with the cheapest energy, and I don't need their money.
In a poor place like the lighthouse, there is no point asking for money. I want to exchange energy for steel and minerals to prepare for the construction of Sky City."
Xu Le said, already taking out the material exchange plan Alley made on the airship.
Li Wen took a few glances and felt something was wrong.
It's said to be an exchange of resources, but the content in the plan is almost close to asking for it.
"Xu Le, diplomatic relations between cities are no better than between people. This kind of unilateral demands will not bring anything more than causing dissatisfaction among the people on the other side."
"Um...what should we do?"
"We need to provide the most basic equality. Don't they lack energy? Wouldn't it be enough to extend their energy supply to 20 years later?"
Xu Le's mouth twitched. 20 years later, neither Lighthouse nor Zion exist.
"Okay, so what does Uncle Li want to say about this Sky City plan?"
"Since it is Sky City, has the city planning been done?"
"No."
"What about the armor settings and thruster locations?"
"No."
“Where are the armed forces and subject controllers?”
"No."
"So your so-called sky city plan only has four words?"
Li Wen finally found the rhythm of the conversation, from being at a loss just now to now turning defeat into victory.
However, Xu Le didn't have a bad temper. He told Li Wen about this matter because he was counting on Li Wen.
So Xu Le could only say shyly:
"I don't know how to do these things. I only know how to brag. Uncle Li knows that."
"It's a great skill to be able to realize what you've been boasting about. Is that sky city the same as the furnace?"
"Same." Xu Le understood what Li Wen meant and nodded.
With the experience of the furnace, Li Wen has also understood Xu Le's style.
This matter must be feasible, but the core aspects should be independently controlled by Xu Le.
But don't worry too much. Generally, things made by Xu Le can operate without Xu Le itself, just like a furnace.
Without Xu Le, the furnace can still operate stably.
In this case……
Li Wen paced around the room, walking back and forth several times.
"How risky is this plan?"
“In fact, as long as the design is complete and the resources are sufficient, there is basically no risk.
My idea is to create a sky fortress with an area suitable for people's lives. The force area is of course much smaller than below, but after flying in the sky, the Kuroshio's defense pressure will also be reduced sharply.
After being equipped with Guyinduo's technological energy weapons, Sky City's self-defense capability is sufficient.
If designed properly, it will become a sky fortress integrating offense and defense.
It has functions such as ultra-long-distance sky strike, camouflage and invisibility, regional movement, etc. This is what I want."
After hearing what Xu Le said, Li Wen glanced at him slightly suspiciously:
"Xu Le, tell me the truth, are you really building such a fortress to resist the undercurrent?"
"Of course, I have nothing to do with weirdness."
"Is it really just a black tide? I feel like this thing is like a war weapon."
"Yes, I have absolutely no intention of resisting the Red Moon Temple." Xu Le replied seriously.
Li Wen's mouth twitched. He didn't mention the Red Moon Temple!
"Forget it, have a meeting, have a meeting, have a meeting, notify them of the meeting..."
Secretary Liu standing at the door was a little strange. He didn't know why Li Wen suddenly lost his temper.
"But Minister, Councilor Xu Le's return and reinstatement ceremony has not yet been held. Aren't you going?"
"Just let him go by himself. Now contact Xia Libo and the materials science experts from Zion Progressives. In addition, help me find some professional urban planning and designers, immediately."
"yes."
Although I don’t know what Li Wen will do next, Li Wen’s orders can never be violated.
…
Compared to Li Wen, Xu Le's side was much easier.
This is not the first time that Li Wen was given a name for his plan and then left everything to the other party.
The last construction of the furnace was actually in a similar situation.
Li Wen is very capable, Xia Libo and the others are also very strong.
So Xu Le, a non-professional, had better not disturb them and just use the name of chief designer.
After listlessly going through reinstatement, conferring honors, and taking oaths, he finally succeeded in becoming a true Councilor of Zion.
Next, Xu Le has a power that every member of parliament can exercise.
The right to propose new policies.
Logically speaking, for something as big as City in the Sky, there will definitely be a lot of resistance.
It is only reasonable to focus on new policy proposals.
But Xu Le still has an idea hidden in his heart. I am afraid that the resistance will be greater than that of Sky City.
Ideas like Sky City are easily recognized by Li Wen. With Li Wen's approval, Xu Le does not need to implement this matter himself.
A strong man like Li Wen will arrange things properly without him having to worry about it.
But for what he wants to do next, there is a high probability that even Li Wen will not be able to accept it.
That is the Ancient God Seed Plan...
In other words, the weird workforce implements the plan.
Xu Le still clearly remembers the cooperation between Niu Lang and Yu Nu.
If that kind of ability was used to irrigate the land, it would be a magical skill.
This improvement in productivity cannot be measured by the number of people at all.
Convenience, lack of people, concealment, and the ability to operate in wild areas are all unique advantages of the ancient god species.
Xu Le felt that it didn’t take too much. Giving him 10 rain girls would basically solve the basic ration problem for the entire Zion.
Moreover, the weirdness of Rain Girl is only a level 2 ancient god species.
The Ancient God Seed Project is only the first step of Xu Le's plan. The weird labor force implementation plan is the first step. The subsequent plan depends on the implementation of the Ancient God Seed Project and Xu Le's subsequent research on other types of weirdness.
Gu Yin Duo, Hong Yue, Outer God, Evil God, these weird things are actually no different in Xu Le's opinion.
The countless night demons in the dark land were squatting on the ground, and Xu Le felt it was a pity.
If they can move bricks, then the constructive work in Zion will proceed quickly.
If I could use it again and become a guard or something...
"Forget it, you should be more down-to-earth in your life. First think of a way to come up with a plan for an ancient god to join Zion. All other things must come later..."
Xu Le pondered. He actually didn't know much about the ancient divine species.
Most of them come from contact with golden toads.
What do you say about the toad's croak? The croak is pretty good, but it's just a bit greedy.
Brotherhood is still reliable.
The question now is whether Gua can represent the ancient god species camp. After all, it is just a level 3 toad.
Level 4 was broken through because of my own feeding. The golden toad species itself is only level 3.
Can you withstand it?
With this thought in mind, Xu Le returned to the furnace and summoned the toad in an empty area with few people.
Following a burst of white smoke, the toad looked around for a while.
"Oh, I'm back in your nest. It looks like everything's fine."
Xu Le knew that what the toad was talking about was about the danger in the tree before. Xu Le was still thinking about him after such a long time, which made Xu Le feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Toad stared at the smiling Xu Le and moved his butt to the side.
"You don't usually talk like this, so I think this matter is fraudulent. What do you want to do to me?"
Xu Le looked at Toad with some surprise. This guy's brain... is really not bad!
If this brain is willing to cooperate, it will definitely be of great help to his plan to raise ancient gods in captivity.
"Brother Gua, the thing is like this. Our development in Zion has reached a bottleneck. It will be more difficult next time."
"Well, but what does this have to do with me? I'm not a human being, so why don't you delay my eating earthworms?"
"Brother, I have a vision of coexistence between human beings and the ancient gods. I hope that the ancient gods can live in a safe environment in human settlements.
You will no longer suffer from the weird intrusions of Guyinduo, nor will you be attacked by humans for no reason. As long as you perform some very simple tasks, you can obtain long-term stable food and a safe environment.
This is a good thing with huge benefits for the development of the entire ancient god race.
Brother Gua... you don’t want the ancient gods to live in dire straits, right?”
Toad took out the fire, lit a cigarette for himself, took a long puff and spit it on Xu Le's face.
It was indeed thinking about this matter, Xu Le was too bold.
The coexistence of human beings and monsters was something that only happened in the ancient sages.
Moreover, the ancient gods were said to have betrayed mankind.
This relationship...
"Yeah, that's great, but these things are none of my business? I'm just a golden toad with no say. What can I do?"
"Brother Gua, do you know the difference between a toad and a frog?"
"What's the difference?"
“A frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky has a feudal mindset, which is negative energy.
The toad wants to eat swan meat, has avant-garde ideas, has lofty ambitions, and is a positive energy.
I think Brother Gua also has this kind of positive energy."
