Chapter 518 Too many people...that's troublesome!
Inside the inner city, within the city lord's mansion.
"How are those few thousand people in the Mechanized City doing?" Xiao Yu asked casually.
After lunch, he leaned back leisurely in the armchair, with a red-haired girl massaging his shoulders behind him.
"Don't worry, brother, they've already started to integrate into Dragon City," Honglian replied with a smile.
"Those thousands of mechanics, except for a few who were seriously injured and lost limbs and are temporarily unable to work, have all been reassigned to bicycle and sewing machine factories. Daily production has increased several times over, which has already solved our immediate problem..."
"Okay, that's good." Xiao Yu closed his eyes slightly and nodded gently. "I've already started researching the mechanisms and mechanisms, and they'll be able to help those who are missing limbs soon."
It's a rare treat to visit the temple of mechanical arts, the Mechanical City.
Xiao Yu naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to study various mechanisms.
In the past few days, he has already activated hundreds of mechanisms on the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella.
Furthermore, with Sangluo's ingenious methods as research material, he has already gained some insights.
However, the mechanical hands and feet are at least level five or six.
Moreover, it is very harmful to the human body and must be handled with caution.
Producing real research results takes time and effort.
Honglian nodded and replied, "Okay, brother."
Xiao Yu then asked, "What about the others?"
"Xiaoyu took those women to visit the garment factory, the breeding area, and the planting area, etc... They were treated as family members of criminals when they were in the government city, and they always did the hardest and most tiring work, so they are all very hardworking."
Now, some women have already entered the workforce.
As the city lord, Xiao Yu has always been responsible for the long-term development of Dragon City.
Honglian is in charge of all affairs, big and small, in Dragon City; she is the chief steward of Dragon City.
However, she cannot do everything herself.
As the deputy city lord, all she needs to do is know.
Xiaoyu arranged all the specific tasks.
Among the thousands of people, some were quick learners and integrated into Longcheng, finding jobs.
However, many people are not yet familiar with the new environment and new job, and need some time to adapt.
"The old man didn't say much; there were only a dozen or so people left..."
After all, this is the apocalypse, and the living environment is too harsh.
Once people age, they simply cannot withstand the torment of high and low temperatures during the day for very long.
Even if some people are in good health, they will quickly collapse under the high pressure of the city.
"This time, several hundred children have joined Dragon City, ranging in age from 3 to 15. They are all ordinary children, and most of them are illiterate. How should we arrange for these children?" Honglian looked down at Xiao Yu in her arms and asked.
"Should we send them to Teaching Building One, or Teaching Building Two...?"
Xiao Yu rarely gets involved in other matters personally.
However, he takes anything involving children very seriously.
He personally arranges all aspects of the children's education and life.
"This... let me think about it carefully first." Xiao Yu did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment.
Longcheng currently has two teaching buildings.
The first building, naturally, is the earliest and also the Longcheng Academy.
Now, there are hundreds of students studying there.
The children from Maple Leaf Tribe, Divine Weapon City, Ruins City, and Beast City mingled together.
The second teaching building is the welfare home.
It specifically shelters children whose families have been destroyed and who have no home.
But these children in the city of government offices.
Although I joined Longcheng, my parents and relatives are still alive.
The situation is completely different from that of the children in the welfare home.
"Have there been any problems after these people joined Dragon City?" Xiao Yu asked again.
"There are indeed some problems with this."
Honglian thought for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "People used to living in the Mechanized City often relieve themselves anywhere. Even the women at most find a secluded place to do so, so..."
Honglian blushed slightly as she continued, "In short, they're not used to using the toilets yet. The newly built government village is a bit messy and smelly, and some people often relieve themselves in the vegetable garden..."
Elsewhere, this kind of thing is perfectly normal, and nobody would care.
If we can't even survive in the apocalypse, what's so surprising about urinating and defecating anywhere?
But...this is Dragon City!
"Um, there are too many people... it's a hassle!"
Xiao Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated. He shook his head with a smile: "Later, I'll build a few more toilets in the residential area and arrange another round of collective education. Some bad habits must be corrected! If they repeat the offense, the punishment will be cleaning the toilets... Those who are incorrigible will be kicked out of Dragon City!"
The addition of thousands of new members has had a very positive impact on the development of Longcheng.
Overall strength instantly doubled, and productivity also increased significantly.
However, with more people, there are bound to be downsides, which is unavoidable.
Xiao Yu would not allow bad habits to spread in Dragon City in order to develop the city.
"By the way, let's do another crisis test." A wicked smile appeared on Xiao Yu's lips.
Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Hong Lian twitched her lips and shook her head with amusement.
She still remembered that the last surprise test her brother conducted had given the city defense army and police superintendents quite a hard time, and the residents of Dragon City were so frightened that they screamed and were terrified.
Hopefully, everyone will perform better this time.
Otherwise, I don't know how my brother would torture these people.
Honglian suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, brother, today's sales have dropped to less than nine million. Shouldn't we take some measures to incentivize them?"
Xiao Yu shrugged dismissively and laughed, "That's normal."
Since the Elders of the Mechanized City lifted the restrictions, the residents of the Mechanized City have flocked here.
With bicycles and clothing gradually catching up, sales naturally increased.
However, there are only so many wealthy residents in the city, so it will only take a few days.
Moreover, a large portion of their previous revenue came from those itinerant merchants.
Now, the traveling merchants have already selected their goods and have no money left to spend.
Turnover will naturally decline gradually.
"Speaking of which, brother, we've been in the Mechanized City for a while now. How much longer are we going to stay?"
Although I've only been in the city for four or five days.
But so much had happened that Honglian felt like a very long time had passed.
"Well, this..."
Xiao Yu pinched his chin and spoke in a low voice.
The bones of the Skybreaker Beast from last time have been used up.
The Mechanical City also lacks teleportation arrays.
Ding! Just then, the sound of a communication bug came from beside my ear.
Xiao Yu saw that it was Xiao Zhuo's voice transmission and answered it casually.
A clear, melodious voice rang in his ears: "Lord City Lord, I just overheard the Second Elder of the Mechanized City's thoughts... those powerful forces in the vicinity are about to arrive, and the Mechanized City is preparing to intercept them in advance..."
"Oh? Are those powerful forces finally coming?"
