The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 531 Preparing for Winter
"Is this snow?"

After hearing Liang Yuan's words, Zhao Kai immediately came to his senses.

This was not caused by Liang Yuan's ability, but ice particles really fell from the sky!
Before the great flood, Zhao Kai and his people called this kind of ice particles "snow seeds", and some places also called it "snow millet" or "rice snow".

Zhao Kai pinched it gently, and the snow immediately shattered.

He remembered this thing. It was ice particles formed by the condensation of water vapor in the cold air from high altitudes. Their diameters were generally between 0.3 and 2.5 mm, and their shapes were spherical or conical. They were brittle in nature and would break into pieces with a slight squeeze.

Its appearance often means that cold air is coming, which is a sign that snow is about to fall!
Zhao Kai never expected that winter would come so suddenly!
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Let Lao Ma and his team speed up the construction progress. The houses must be built before winter comes completely. In addition, the floating bridge must also be accelerated. The weather is too cold and it will be difficult to start construction in the water."

"Forget it, notify all the senior executives of Yangshan and hold a meeting immediately."

Liang Yuan simply prepared to hold a meeting.

The appearance of snowballs indicates that winter is coming soon.

All departments in Yangshan must immediately prepare for the coming cold winter.

Liang Yuan had a feeling that this cold winter would not be easy.

Zhao Kai quickly sent someone to notify all departments to go to the leader's residence for a meeting.

After a while, Yangshan’s top leaders quickly gathered here.

Liang Yuan sat in the first seat. Yang Mei, Ding Yan, Song Wen, Lao Ma, Aunt Li, Cai Zhi and others had already arrived.

R&D department, medical department, audit department, mining department, breeding department...

Today, Yangshan has developed into more than 20 to 30 departments of various sizes!
The head of each department, along with the second-in-command, took their seats one after another.

This huge living room of the chief's mansion seemed a little crowded.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Winter is coming, everyone. It's already snowing outside. I'm afraid it will turn into heavy snow in a few days."

"We will face the test of winter next."

"According to the previous plan to prevent a severe winter, the first issue is food storage."

"Song Wen, your Ministry of Agriculture should speak first."

Song Wen nodded immediately after hearing this, picked up a report, and said, "This is our data report for the past six months. Currently, the main grains are rice, soybeans, wheat, and sweet potatoes, which have all been harvested. However, the rice was planted a little late, so I'm afraid it won't be harvested before winter."

"The current total grain production is over 300 million kilograms, but the amount of vegetables and fruits is much less..."

As Song Wen reported, everyone's faces showed joy. Three million kilograms of food should be enough to eat for a long time.

However, Liang Yuan did not think so, because he knew that after the psychic awakened his superpowers, his appetite would become very big, so these 300 million kilograms of food, although sounded like a lot, were actually not much.

Fortunately, Yangshan has more than just grain. The farms and slaughterhouses have been purchasing the flesh and blood of various mutant creatures for a long time.

Especially the mutant fish, which provided Liang Yuan with tens of thousands of points every day.

The fish were sent to processing plants to be made into various finished foods, and some were simply thrown directly into the ice storage in Yangshan.

Not to mention that Liang Yuan’s inventory also contained countless mutant fish.

He was not worried about food at all. Even if he didn't have it, he still had a system that allowed him to draw food at any time.

Of course, he no longer uses the system to extract food now, as it is such a waste.

Later he will transfer the Ministry of Agriculture to the Mirage Space.

With the arrival of winter, the Mirage Space, as an independent space, should not be affected.

At that time, we will grow food in the Mirage Snake Space and send the old, weak, sick and disabled people there, while the strong and healthy psychics will be left at the Yangshan Base.

On this basis, soldiers were trained to form a militarized force in Yangshan.

"Well done. The Ministry of Agriculture has set a good example this year."

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "We don't know how low the temperature will be in winter, so we must take good measures to keep warm."

"We will continue to vigorously cultivate and plant more mutant sunflowers, and strive to ensure that every household can have its own sun room."

"Old Ma, I leave this matter to you."

Ma Guocai nodded immediately: "Don't worry, the new houses we are building now are all equipped with sun rooms and floor heating devices."

"In the sun room, we installed a solar water heater, which can heat hot water uninterruptedly, supply hot water circulation to the room and ensure the indoor temperature."

"Not only that, according to your instructions, the residential power supply system is now operational, and the main lines are connected to the Yangshan Complex."

Liang Yuan's heart was slightly moved when he heard this.

He spent a huge amount of money to exchange for the generator, which was installed on the bottom floor of the Yangshan complex to provide power for the entire Yangshan.

However, considering the shortage of power stones at that time, they were only supplied to important departments such as complexes, farms, and slaughterhouses.

Later, as mining business in the mining area was in full swing, more and more ore was unearthed.

Now that the power supply range has been expanded, ordinary residential buildings can have power connections to their homes as long as they apply.

Of course, using electricity consumes points.

Not only that, now in the R&D department, Dong Jie, with the help of Li Hanzhong and others, has developed a psychic voltage converter.

The energy in the power stone can be converted into electrical energy to form a mobile power source similar to a battery.

It has now entered production and will be available for sale soon.

Liang Yuan personally studied this psychic voltage converter, which mainly used a thunder-attributed rune bone. This rune bone was extracted from a mutant eel, and the highest voltage it could release was 60,000 volts.

Based on the transformer idea, Li Hanzhong and others successfully developed a superpower version of the transformer, which converted the voltage released by the rune bone into a stable voltage, thus solving this problem.

The invention of electricity is an important step towards human civilization.

Under the coverage of Yangshan's power system, Liang Yuan believes that Yangshan's technological level will surely advance by leaps and bounds.

After Ma Guocai finished his report, it was soon the turn of the farms and slaughterhouses to report.

They also plan to move to the Mirage Space, but the farm here must still be retained because even if they build an army in the future, they will need to be self-sufficient.

The farm has now expanded several times in scale, and the types of breeding have also increased. There are not only creatures such as fire bamboo rats, plum blossom pigs, and red chickens, but also various edible mutant fish, mutant ducks, and mutant geese.

Among them, the number of mutated chickens, ducks and geese is the largest because they have a fast growth cycle and taste good.

After the meeting, each department received new tasks.

Prepare for the harsh winter!

The whole Yangshan became busy. People did not have time to indulge in the sorrow of the attack by the three major religions, and they eagerly threw themselves into new work.

Such busyness diluted the sadness of the past few days, and Yangshan gradually regained its vibrant appearance.

In this busy and frenetic pace, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Li Qinghua rushed back to Yangshan and brought good news.

Thanks to his efforts, the Mirage Snake Space has drifted to the vicinity of Yangshan.

Liang Yuan was immediately pleasantly surprised and said, "Great! This way, even if the severe cold freezes the river, at least we are nearby and can take care of each other."

Li Qinghua also nodded and smiled: "I have always been worried that if our two places are too far apart, I am afraid that it will give the enemy another opportunity to take advantage of us."

Liang Yuan asked: "Have you found Wu Yaobang's real body?"

Li Qinghua shook his head: "This guy hid very deeply. He has not appeared since then. I don't know where he is hiding. I even suspect that he has another clone hiding in the Mirage Snake Space."

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "Since he knows about the Mirage Snake Space, there is absolutely no way he will give up."

"A floating island like the Mirage Space is much better than an ordinary floating island. Who wouldn't want to occupy it?"

"I'm afraid he's planning something big."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinghua sneered, "It would be best if he comes in his true form, so that I can kill him completely."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "It's basically impossible. He has the ability to clone himself. His real body will never come out even if he hides until he dies."

Li Qinghua was obviously aware of this, and could only sigh helplessly, and then said: "Recently, the snow has been falling more and more frequently, and the particles are getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid it won't be long before it turns into snowflakes."

"Has the temperature in the Mirage Snake Space dropped?" Liang Yuan asked immediately.

Li Qinghua nodded slightly: "It is also decreasing, although not as fast as outside, but I can clearly feel the temperature is dropping."

Liang Yuan looked gloomy and asked, "What's going on? Isn't the Mirage Snake Space an independent space? Why is the temperature dropping as well?"

Li Qinghua smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Mirage Snake Space is an independent space, if it is surrounded by a world of ice and snow, how can it remain immune?"

"Temperature can be transferred even through various spatial barriers, it's just a little slower."

Liang Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "It seems that you guys should also prepare for winter as soon as possible."

Li Qinghua said: "I have asked everyone in the construction department to help build the building. With the help of people with special abilities, the progress is very fast."

"Then Aunt Li and her team also personally led people to plant mutant sunflowers all over the mountains. The first batch of seeds have already sprouted. I hope they can bloom during the winter and provide more light sources."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Let's ask Tang Dechang to go over there and see if we can use his special ability to accelerate growth."

"By the way, Mr. Liang, I have something to report to you."

Li Qinghua suddenly thought of something and his expression became serious.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this and asked, "What's so serious?"

"Remember the brother and sister we met when we were killing the sword-tailed sea snake?"

Hearing this, Liang Yuan thought of the girl who called herself Lin Miaomiao and asked, "Remember, what's wrong?"

"I made an appointment with them last time, and we are still doing business there a week later."

"These two people are members of the Hibiscus Valley Shelter in JA City. I was thinking that I might be able to borrow them to learn about the situation in JA City."

"Guess what, I actually got some important news."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What important news?"

"Lin Jingtao said that a few days ago, the master of Hibiscus Valley took a group of gene species experts and left Hibiscus Valley in an emergency."

"According to him, the master of Hibiscus Valley rarely leaves Hibiscus Valley. Such a big event has attracted the attention of many people in Hibiscus Valley."

"There was news circulating in Hibiscus Valley that an ownerless floating island had appeared downstream of the Linjiang River. After hearing the news, various forces rushed over."

"Our Linjiang City is located in the lower reaches of the Linjiang River. Further down is the main road of the Yangtze River. If a floating island really appears, do you think Guangfu and his group will take action?"

When Liang Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but look strange.

Even the forces in JA City knew about the news of the floating island downstream of Linjiang?
