Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Kazdale City Core District

There was a big hole on the ground that went through the city, which was blasted by Roy with magic.

When Thearesia saw the tragic scene for the first time, her smiling face suddenly darkened. She clenched her hands into fists.

Roy took great efforts to calm Theresa's anger, but it was a pity that Roy's small treasury was missing hundreds of pure Originium.

Because a large number of pipelines here have been burned, instead of spending a lot of time and materials to repair them, it is better to build a power tower directly here.

The large amount of metal materials needed for the power supply tower were provided by several mobile bases of the previous Military Commission. The workers are now working to complete the main structure of the power supply tower.

"Yes, that's it..."

"Old John, quickly connect the pipeline..."

"Why haven't the parts for the furnace been delivered yet? Didn't we notify them three days ago?"

"They said there were too many orders and they can't handle them even with three shifts..."

"Sarkaz swearing, we were the first to do so..."

The engineering staff in charge of building the energy tower is now very annoyed because the parts he ordered previously have not been completed, causing the construction period to be delayed.

"Forget it, we can only check and repair the pipelines here first..." The engineering officer took out the drawings from his bag, rolled up his sleeves and climbed into the tower.

The pipelines here are complicated and it is easy to make mistakes without the help of drawings. Moreover, the space for movement is very small, and Old John is now hiding in it.

Relying on the light from the head-mounted lighting equipment and connecting the pipelines according to the drawings, the tremendous energy of the future will flow inside.

Even though the working environment is tough, Old John is still very satisfied with his job.

After receiving his first salary, he took out a portion of it to treat the owner of the breakfast shop to a meal as a way of thanking him for the inside information he provided.

After a large amount of materials were imported into Kazdel, the grand construction began. Everyone's salary was paid in the form of working hours, once a week.

Working hours can be exchanged for any materials, food, clothing, medicine, cigarettes, alcohol...

Each job requires different workers, and the number of hours each person can get per week is also different.

For some families or individuals who are in special difficulties and cannot get working hours, they can receive the most basic subsidy after their circumstances are verified.

Old John rubbed his dry eyes. He had already made a plan. After the next salary is paid, he will buy his daughter a set of clothes that she has always dreamed of.

This will be the warmest winter that Old John's family can remember.

......

In the vast wasteland outside the city, canals crisscrossed, bringing groundwater from the large lake into the arid land.

Farmers used tools to clear rocks and large pieces of Originium crystals from the land. They picked out the Originium crystals and took them back to the city in exchange for work hours.

The weeds and plants cleared during reclamation are fermented and mixed into the cleared land, injecting the nutrients needed for food growth into this barren land.

Everyone was working hard to swing their tools, breathing out white air. It was already the beginning of winter in Kazdel, and the temperature had dropped significantly.

At this time of year in the past, farmers would work in the fields wearing tattered and leaky clothes.

They relied on the heat generated by exercise and their personal physique to resist the biting cold wind, but now, they put on cotton clothes.

These were the warm clothes that Theresa had distributed. Some people were afraid that these precious clothes would get dirty while working, so they put on their previous clothes over them.

At the end of the field, there is a makeshift camp made of tents and stones. Some farmers think it is too troublesome to go back to the city after work every day, so they simply set up a camp near the field.

At this time in the camp, a big pot was steaming, and inside it was cooking the farmers' lunch for the day.

The lunch is simple but filling, and paired with a mouthful of hot broth, it can drive away the cold and relieve work fatigue.

“Ding! Ding! Ding…”

A bell made of huge metal debris in the camp was struck hard, and the crisp sound spread throughout the field.

The farmers put down their work, chatted with each other and returned to the camp. It was time for lunch.

Kazdale City East District

From a huge bungalow, the sound of children reading in unison could be heard. This was the school in the city.

The books Theresa bought have not been fully translated yet and cannot be used by the children.

The teacher had no choice but to write the words that needed to be explained on the blackboard and point to the words with a ruler to guide the children to understand the pronunciation and meaning.

After the textbooks are translated and printed, children will also have their own books.

Occasionally, there are children who make trouble, and when persuasion fails, the teacher will choose the simplest way to punish them.

When the teacher used a ruler to hit their palms, the children's parents understood the teacher's difficulties and felt at ease to leave their children to the teacher.

In another classroom separated from here by a wall, most of the people under the podium are adult Sarkaz. They are receiving higher-level instruction because they are future teachers.

Some of them will travel across the vast and desolate land of Kazdel to remote villages to impart knowledge, while most will be assigned to teach students in schools in towns.

Everyone was listening attentively. An old Sarkaz man at the podium was talking excitedly and writing quickly on the blackboard with the chalk in his hand.

The audience was silent, and no one dared to offend him in his class. Because the old man had just punched through the steel door, and no one wanted such a punch to fall on their head.

Rhode Island Medical Department

After the Rhodes Island landship docked with Kazdel City, the medical department that Theresa had spent a lot of resources to build began to provide medical services to the residents of the city.

The medical staff, who had just experienced some leisure time, quickly returned to their non-stop work.

Fortunately, Kal'tsit had previously recruited a group of new members. Although their medical skills were not high, after a period of training, they were still able to solve some simple illnesses.

The medical operators who had previously been taught Originium disease treatment spells by Professor Roy can now barely use these spells.

Considering the staff shortage in the medical department, these people mostly work in their normal positions.

Only on the weekly Originium Disease Treatment Day, the Medical Department will receive treatment for about a hundred children with severe Originium Disease symptoms.

I believe that with continued practice, the number of people they can treat at one time will continue to increase.

Shining and Nightingale have already made a name for themselves among the city's residents because of their powerful healing spells.

This made Nightingale afraid to go out, because every time there would be a lot of people surrounding her and giving her gifts.

Nightingale didn't want to let them down, but the room couldn't hold so many gifts.

Fortunately, Shining suggested that she give the gifts to the children who were receiving treatment, which solved Nightingale's problem.

In order to manage the treatment of Originium disease, Roy moved back to his dormitory on the ship. He would only stay overnight in his residence in the city when he occasionally had to go back to the city to deal with some matters.

After the civil war ended in Kazdel, the entire country was thriving.

But the surrounding countries will one day notice that this land is undergoing earth-shaking changes. They are already ready to make a move, and have sent messengers into this land of the demons, openly or secretly.

The shadow deliberately cast by the big tree would have killed the small tree, but this time the small tree had a lumberjack to protect it.

He was waiting for the big tree to extend its branches to the small tree, so that he could swing his axe and chop them down. The branches would then become nutrients for the small tree's growth.

The space cleared will provide conditions for the small trees to grow into large trees in the future.
