Chapter 127: Goddess Discount Coupon? The Chief Kneels to Bargain! (Please keep reading)
Through discussions with the women, Lu Zheng finalized the details for the construction of the Safe Zone.
These women were not just pretty faces.
The vast majority of them were very intelligent and had achieved some success in their respective fields.
Their perspectives gave Lu Zheng a lot of inspiration.
Initially, Lu Zheng had only planned to lay a layer of soil on a flat surface, then arrange houses in a grid pattern on top.
Then, a second layer would be built, and so on.
He only needed to stagger specific locations, leaving gaps for sunlight to shine through to ensure proper lighting.
But Zhang Ningzhu brought up the issue of transportation; with vertical separation, movement would only be possible via teleportation arrays. Visiting each other or buying groceries would require using an array, which would be very inconvenient.
Lu Shuxuan raised the issue of sewage.
People need to excrete waste, and how to handle the filth also required specific areas.
Finally, a plan was decided upon.
This model was called the 'Bottom Carpet + Central Park Surrounding Housing' plan.
Simply put, the bottom layer would be paved with a hundred meters of deep soil as a base, planted with trees, flowers, and grass to provide oxygen, and also serve as a site for decomposing waste.
One hundred meters above the bottom ground would be the first residential area, which would be circular.
The center would be sunken, with soil piled from the bottom layer up to the residential area. Here, flowers, grass, and trees would be planted to provide fresh air and recreational space, while sewage channels from here would lead directly to the large carpet below.
One thousand houses would be arranged around each Central Park, forming a community.
A scale of one hundred thousand households would require one hundred such structures.
Between each community, there would be safe passages, connecting like an ant's underground nest.
And the gaps between the communities would allow sunlight to shine through.
This would maintain the ecological stability of the underground carpet.
At the same time, a Safe Zone Management Office, community guard posts, and other specific functional positions would be established to maintain the stability of the community.
Basic jobs such as garbage collectors, traffic management, and park maintenance would be provided.
In short, every aspect was meticulously considered.
Next was just one word: do it!
Lu Zheng directly established the Safe Zone above the center of Canglan City.
First, he created a giant cube, and then came the filling of soil.
Whether it was peach trees, apricot trees, or jujube trees, they were directly thrown below, each serving as ten cubic meters of soil.
An area of 100 million square meters and a height of 100 meters amounted to a staggering 10 billion cubic meters of soil.
Fortunately, his supply card was an infinite supply card. If it required consuming his own energy to materialize, he would never finish even if he worked until he died.
But for him, with an infinite supply card, it only took a little over an hour to successfully lay it out.
His current mental power allowed him to retrieve a considerable amount of items in one second.
Three hours later, the first Safe Zone was completed.
The entire process here was almost entirely observed by Wang Shengbang and other high-ranking officials through satellite.
Witnessing such a scene, comparable to a creator being present, left everyone in silence.
Zang Zhenyu, the Chief of Lijian Base, spoke:
“I came to Canglan City via a teleportation array and watched him obscure the sky curtain little by little.”
“It's hard to imagine that this is indeed something created by one person.”
“According to the information provided by Yin Xinyao, he wants to establish a true Safe Zone, and all this soil is for planting forests.”
“At this moment, I see vast expanses of fruit trees on that airborne land.”
“Peach trees, persimmon trees, plum trees, apricot trees, jujube trees—every single one is laden with fruit.”
“These fruits alone are enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a period of time.”
“Lu Zheng's strategic value is far greater than we imagined.”
“And currently, everything he is doing is very beneficial to us, to humanity.”
“Regarding the matter of the sky city, I think it is very necessary for us to gain his support.”
“An absolute Safe Zone is truly too important for rebuilding order.”
Fang Qiankun, the Chief of Xishan Base, said:
“If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll need to pay a sufficient price.”
“That guy isn't someone who lets others take advantage of him for free.”
“Also, aren't we becoming too reliant on him?”
“The Beast Taming Ring, teleportation arrays, and some other things—they all came from him.”
“If we rely on one person to survive, we will also be destroyed by one person.”
Everyone connected in this meeting understood this principle.
They were all cunning and experienced high-ranking officials, naturally knowing that excessive reliance on a single individual was not advisable.
But now, for better development, for more people to survive, it had to be done this way.
Wang Shengbang made the final decision.
“Every city must have one of these Safe Zones. As for the compensation, I will discuss it with him.”
“All your major bases should focus on collecting more crystals recently.”
“If he has any other demands later, I need your active cooperation.”
“The new base concerns the life and death of tens of millions of people; there can be no hesitation.”
“New monsters are constantly emerging from the pit. Today, the number of Fifth-tier Blade Mantises doesn't seem large, but what about ten days from now, a hundred days from now?”
“Our power growth cannot keep up, and technological weapons cannot provide effective protection. The spatial barrier Safe Zone is our last hope.”
“If we wait until disaster strikes to find him, it will be too late.”
Before long, Lu Zheng received a call from Wang Shengbang.
He had deliberately allowed Yin Xinyao and Yan Ruoying to spread the news about the Safe Zone.
This was something that couldn't be hidden anyway, and it was also intended for sale.
Letting them directly see the construction process was also a way to display his strength.
“Mr. Lu, what is the price for one of your Safe Zones?”
Wang Shengbang got straight to the point without any pleasantries.
He knew that Lu Zheng was not someone who liked formalities; this guy only loved beautiful women and crystals.
“One hundred thousand Third-tier crystals per set.”
Lu Zheng presented the price he had prepared long ago.
Wang Shengbang on the other end was silenced by this price.
One hundred thousand Third-tier crystals was equivalent to 15 million First-tier crystals, meaning it would require hunting 15 million Scythe Mantiss to obtain.
This number, if all major bases pooled their resources, wouldn't be too difficult to gather.
But the key was that they didn't need just one set, but one set for each city.
It was estimated that even if all the bugs in the entire Yanxia War Zone were killed, it would only meet half of the demand.
“Can it be cheaper?”
Wang Shengbang's tone was even a bit humble.
Lu Zheng immediately gave him good news.
“Yes. But there are conditions.”
He didn't waste time and directly stated his demands.
“As you know, I only have one simple hobby.”
“I need top-tier goddesses, the kind who are not only morally excellent and outwardly outstanding but also have considerable achievements in a certain field.”
“As long as you can provide me with information about one such person that satisfies me, the total price can be reduced by ten percent.”
“For examples, you can refer to Professor Professor Nan Yirou of Kyoto Base or Officer Cao Lei of Northwest Base.”
“You only need to provide the information; whether I can win her over is my business.”
“This isn't too difficult, is it?”
