Chapter 62: Performing Magic in the Name of Performing Magic
"In the future, a large number of small cities will rise from the ground."
"These small cities do not accommodate a large population, only between 100,000 and 1 million. These small cities will be built near reservoirs and artificial lakes."
The reservoirs and artificial lakes, of course, come from the Jiangju Water Pipeline.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is water that makes the development of the Northwest possible!
Before there was large-scale, low-cost seawater desalination technology, the extremely cruel and desolate natural environment of the Northwest did not have the conditions for large-scale development.
With enough fresh water, the people of Daxia can slowly transform nature, whether it is planting trees or transforming the Gobi Desert and saline-alkali land, it has become possible.
"Near these small towns, there is little development in the Gobi desert. It is normal for there to be no human habitation within tens or even hundreds of miles."
Xiong Yan understood.
In other words, once you enter such a small town, there is nowhere to run!
Even if spies come and go through all kinds of hardships to get in, they can't get out. Without enough reasons, after ordinary people come, they can only wait until Daxia publicly announces the spiritual energy recovery before they can get out.
Before that, does the spy want to escape from the city alone and survive in the wilderness?
"On the outskirts of the city are the relevant departments responsible for production and construction. They are responsible for protecting the safety of the town and arresting spies who have escaped from the town."
"Inside the city, except for the place where we conduct experiments, there is only a large local area network, which is not connected to the outside world. When they come in, we will distribute new clothes and new mobile phones, and conduct a comprehensive physical examination on everyone.
Those who hide communication equipment will most likely be found out on the spot."
"And the Panda mobile phones issued to them are all specially made. Each mobile phone has a positioning system. Once the mobile phone leaves the city, it will be immediately discovered by the background, an alarm will be issued, and then the relevant departments will be dispatched."
"As of now, the Jiangju Water Pipeline is still on paper and is still under planning. Therefore, a large number of small towns only exist on paper. Even our research base is very desolate.
All the fresh water needed is shipped directly."
Chu Xuan didn't say anything, but Xiong Yan understood again.
Obviously, this is intentional!
The secret base in front of us is not that it cannot be located in a place with a large amount of fresh water resources, but for better confidentiality, it is directly located in such a deserted place thousands of miles away.
The fresh water you need can be pulled directly from the train!
Bring as many trains of fresh water as you need!
Anyway, one person per month is just a few tons of water. For 300,000 people per month, one million tons of water is about the same.
And one railroad car can pull sixty tons.
With Daxia’s high-speed rail and train transportation capabilities, it is not even afraid of billions of people traveling during the Spring Festival travel season. So what does a mere million tons of water mean?
Just when Xiong Yan stood high on the base, overlooking the Gobi Desert thousands of miles away in the northwest, Lu Yu also made a new discovery.
As a serious genius in Daxia, it goes without saying that Lu Yu is smart. He took the college entrance examination at the age of twelve and went to college. He graduated from college at the age of fourteen and started directing his PhD. He graduated with a doctorate at the age of seventeen and stayed in school. He was appointed as an associate professor at the age of nineteen and became an associate professor at the age of twenty-two.
He was appointed as a full professor at the age of 19.
Before the revival of spiritual energy, Lu Yu had been trained by Yenching University as the leader of the next generation of academic circles.
Many seniors from Yenching University are willing to teach Lu Yu everything they have, and so many experts work together to train him. Although Lu Yu still treats everyone equally on the surface, in other words, he is arrogant in his heart.
It's the same for everyone.
The intelligence level of an adult is 1,112, while the intelligence level of a child may only be 60 or 70.
Therefore, in the eyes of adults, if a child gets into trouble, that is not called causing trouble, that is called a naughty child. If a child says something wrong, it is not worth getting angry, because children speak without restraint.
Anyway, few adults would use adult requirements to make demands on children.
The same is true for Lu Yu. He has a high level of intelligence. In his eyes, the intelligence level of most ordinary people, even the doctoral students under him and the seniors in the school, is just that.
Have you ever seen principled, moral and cultivated adults blatantly discriminate against children with low IQs?
That's what Lu Yu is like.
In his eyes, all living beings are divided into two categories, one is children with low intelligence (the vast majority of ordinary people), and the other is similar people who can communicate with him.
In the past, Lu Yu was actually very proud and lonely.
But since joining the institute, everything has been different.
At the beginning, when Lu Yu learned that he had to start from the most basic assistant researcher position, he was not happy.
He felt that you were discriminating and looking down on me, Mr. Lu!
At that time, Lu Yu's idea was to do research silently, then come up with the results, and then use the results to slap Chu Xuan in the face!
As a result, along with the long research process, Lu Yu forgot about this matter.
Especially when he saw with his own eyes the growth rate of Jiang Ju, Lu Zhou, Jizhen, Bai Mo, Guan Ming and others, he hid the arrogance deep in his heart.
Today is the day when Lu Yu takes a special car to the northwest base. However, before going to the secret base, Lu Yu wants to see the scenery near his hometown again. The next time is who knows when.
"Three Immortals Return Cave, the authentic Three Immortals Return Cave, come and take a look!"
"Ten dollars for a guess, and a hundred if you guess it right!"
"No kidding! Guess on the spot and pay on the spot!"
Listening to the noisy sound, Lu Yu frowned. His intuition told him that this place was not simple, so he squeezed into the crowd and watched on the spot.
"One chopstick, two bowls, and three small balls. Look at my hands. There is nothing in them."
"You have sleeves!" a passerby shouted loudly.
"Okay, I'll roll up my sleeves." As he said that, the boy's sleeves were rolled up, exposing some of his biceps.
"You lift the bowl and let us take a closer look!"
"Okay, watch as you like! I have real skills and I'm not afraid of you seeing it!"
"There must be something wrong with the table, I want to check the table!"
"Okay, you can check as you like!"
After a while, the little brother looked at the payment information on his mobile phone and said happily: "Is there anyone else? Guess for ten yuan. If you guess right, you will get one hundred!"
"I'll come!" Lu Yu said suddenly.
"This is one hundred, I want to guess ten times!"
"no problem!"
"The magic begins, now I put the ball in the bowl on the left, watch it, I put it..."
The little brother's expression was more exaggerated, while Lu Yu silently circulated his Qi to bless his body and improve his vision and hearing to a higher level.
"I guess the ball is still in the bowl on the left."
"Wrong guess!"
"I guess the right this time!"
"Hey, I'm sorry, I guessed wrong!"
"I guess it's in your hands this time!"
"It's still not right..."
…
"Okay, thank you brother for your support. I'll accept the one hundred yuan. Does anyone else want to give it a try?"
After a while, watching the little brother leave, Lu Yu called the staff who were protecting his safety: "I suspect that he is performing magic in the name of performing magic. Check his recent information for me!
