Chapter 174 Complete Occupation
After communicating with Zheng Yong, Ma Tiancheng, and others, Li Chenglong unanimously agreed that the smaller forces that wanted to attach themselves to Dawn City could first be placed in Linhai City, which is located east of Dawn City. In fact, Xing'an District, where Dawn City is located, was also part of Linhai City, but after it was renamed Dawn City, the remaining part was uniformly called Linhai City. After Dawn City was upgraded, it even exceeded the original scope of Xing'an District.
Originally, the Dawn Army had already cleared out Linhai City, but due to the winter and the need for the Dawn Army to recuperate after several major battles, Li Chenglong decided to put Linhai City aside for the time being. This resulted in some zombies and monsters invading a part of Linhai City, especially in some counties under the jurisdiction of Linhai City, where the zombies had formed a considerable scale.
After entering February, especially before Li Chenglong left, he specifically arranged a thorough cleanup mission for Linhai City. The goal was to complete the clearing of all zombies, mutated beasts, and zombie creatures from the entire city by February, allowing people from other bases to live there. Once people are gathered together, the community will develop rapidly and gradually build up its ability to withstand crises. This is also for the sake of future agricultural activities; if the cleanup isn't done in time, it will affect production and daily life.
Zheng Yong said he would speak with the heads of those small bases, and if they agreed, he would settle them in the cleaned-up urban area of Linhai City and the surrounding counties. Ma Tiancheng gave Li Chenglong a report on the past 20 days in Shuguang City, telling him to take a look when he had time, but there was nothing important in it.
Li Chenglong returned home at 9:30 PM. Han Xiaoling and Chen Xiaoke were having dinner, while Li Xue had gone to the First People's Hospital of Dawn City to help An Qingyuan and others prepare Level 3 virus immunity drugs. Recently, due to the Dawn Army's continuous campaigns, the demand for these drugs had increased significantly, and the research department was working around the clock, resulting in a much higher production volume than before. Li Chenglong decided that once the next batch of psionic apples ripened, he would allocate three to An Qingyuan, Liu Mingchang, and Li Qinghe, the three scientists who had made outstanding contributions to Dawn City.
He carefully checked the designated area for storing psionic fruits in the psionic space's storage area. Currently, there were 420 psionic persimmons and 3600 flame fruits. The 10 flame trees finally ripened the day before yesterday. Li Chenglong used the automatic fruit-picking robot he had exchanged at the main control computer to pick and store them one by one, ultimately harvesting 3600 flame fruits. As for the Dawn Rice, it had ripened once before, but after returning to the city, he handed over everything except the seeds to Yun Qian in the logistics department. The yield is now higher than before, and ordinary people can exchange for it with points if they want to eat it, although it will be relatively more expensive.
In terms of yield of Dawn Rice alone, Yunlan's yield is higher. Although her storage space is only four-fifths the size of Li Chenglong's after it was upgraded to a spiritual energy space, because her spiritual energy space does not have a crystal factory, and the ratio of her natural area to her storage area is 7:3, the area she can plant is actually much larger than Li Chenglong's.
To facilitate the handling of the various crops in their shared spiritual energy space, Li Chenglong used crystals to exchange for several robots that could automatically harvest, pollinate, and cultivate crops, placing them in his and Yunlan's spiritual energy space. Although it cost several hundred green and cyan crystals in total, the investment was definitely worthwhile. Furthermore, the soil in the natural area was nourished by the couple's spiritual energy, eliminating the need for fertilizer and achieving fully automated, pollution-free production.
Another thing that pleased Li Chenglong was that although the Dawn Rice had been saved for seed multiple times, there was no sign of varietal degeneration, which made him even more hopeful for the science of Planet Meral. Li Chenglong currently has 60 mu of Dawn Rice planted in the natural area, while Yunlan has planted Dawn Rice on all but a few areas where she transplanted the five Flame Trees that Li Chenglong had given her, totaling 100 mu.
Based on a yield of one ton per mu (approximately 0.16 acres) for Dawn Rice, a natural area with two people can currently produce 160 tons of Dawn Rice per month. After keeping the necessary seeds, the remaining rice, after being refined into Dawn Rice, can yield another 100 tons. Assuming each superhuman consumes 1.5 kg of Dawn Rice per day, and with a total of 2700 superhumans in Dawn City, this is not enough to feed them for a month, but when combined with regular food, it is more than sufficient.
Many superhumans have reported that after eating Dawn Rice, they find it difficult to swallow regular rice. Li Chenglong plans to cultivate Dawn Rice on a one-square-kilometer plot of land within Dawn once the temperature rises, allowing water-based superhumans to irrigate it daily with water infused with their supernatural abilities. Food security is always the biggest problem in the apocalypse; if it can be managed well, there's no need to worry about overcoming it.
Furthermore, after Li Chenglong reached level 9, his psionic space had reached level 8 (maximum level 10), with an area of 0.5 square kilometers. This is a significant expansion compared to before. To put it in perspective, 0.5 square kilometers is equivalent to 70 standard 11-a-side football fields. Each standard 11-a-side football field is about 10.7 acres in size, so the current area is self-evident. It's worth noting that Tianlong Square in Yanjing is only about that size.
After finishing their meal, Han Xiaoling and Chen Xiaoke went back to rest. Qin Fangyu, on the other hand, helped Yunlan take a bath. Pregnant women need to be very careful when bathing, as slipping could be very dangerous. Firstly, the water temperature should not be too hot; secondly, a shower is preferable; and thirdly, bathing for too long is not recommended. It is also essential to wear non-slip slippers to ensure the health of both the fetus and the pregnant woman.
During this time, Qin Fangyu expressed a desire to sleep with Yunlan, and Li Chenglong agreed. Currently, Erica and Qin Fangyu each occupy one of the two secondary bedrooms, leaving Li Chenglong to sleep in the study. Han Xiaoling and Li Xue each have their own apartments, which, although not very large (only 40 square meters), are fully equipped. To make it easier for Chen Xiaoke to commute, she and Han Xiaoling are currently living together; the two girls are close in age, so this arrangement works well. Fortunately, there's a bed in the study. Li Chenglong sat at the computer desk, opened the Crystal Computer, and processed some documents. He also contacted Wang Xiao to discuss tomorrow's work.
The next morning, Li Chenglong received a call from Wu Gang and Zheng Aiguo, informing him that they had completely cleared Linhai City and set up defensive fortifications at major intersections, along with mobile patrols to prevent any more zombies or mutated beasts from entering. Li Chenglong was overjoyed. Although Linhai City was only a prefecture-level city and not particularly large, this signified that humanity had begun its counterattack against the zombies and mutated beasts, no longer merely adopting a defensive posture.
Li Chenglong visited the Dawn City Logistics Department and the Dawn Army's Joint Logistics Support Department, leaving some Flame Fruits and Psionic Persimmons there. He instructed them to keep their share and then distribute the rest equally among the various departments and regiments, with their leaders responsible for the distribution. Dawn City currently has over 90,000 people, and Li Chenglong couldn't possibly handle every single detail. That would not only exhaust him but also deprive his subordinates of any autonomy, which was undesirable.
他抽空用真龙之眼看了一下自己的属性：李成龙，SS级9级龙凤之体觉醒者，体质450、力量437、精神445、敏捷435。龙帝剑9级、裂天龙凤斩7级、真龙之眼、银河星爆9级（满级10级）、空间穿梭、龙凤天惊拳、灵能空间8级（满级10级）、灵能形态、龙腾功。有些技能例如全武器精通这种李成龙本来就会的东西现在已经不显示了。
In fact, awakened individuals don't necessarily have a significant advantage over other ability users of the same level in terms of a single attribute. For example, Zheng Aiguo, who is currently a level 7 ability user with the earth element and strength attribute, has a strength attribute of 320. Li Chenglong, when he was level 7, only had a strength value of 355. However, Zheng Aiguo's other attributes are far inferior. For instance, his constitution is only 287, his spirit is only 190, and his agility is 224. Li Chenglong's other three attributes were 350, 345, and 352 respectively.
Besides the differences in attributes, there are also differences in skills. Zheng Aiguo only has 4 skills after reaching level 7, while Li Chenglong already has eight or nine, significantly more than him even at level 7. In addition, Awakened Ones use a higher level of spiritual energy, so under the same level and potential, Awakened Ones are generally stronger than those with superpowers.
