The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System
Chapter 511 Ancient New Dimension: Drought and Cholera
The wealthy dog's vast fortune was not in cash, but in oil and minerals.
Although Tokyo University has new energy sources, oil is still indispensable in certain fields. After so many years of wandering the earth, it will eventually come in handy.
After some haggling, Dongda agreed and began setting up a grand formation for the dog tycoon.
Even with the grand formation set up, Dongda still advised Dog to excavate an underground city, because the grand formation would consume a large amount of spirit stones, which even someone as wealthy as Dog couldn't afford, or rather, Dongda couldn't provide that many spirit stones.
Several wealthy dog owners asked if spirit stones existed in the world, and were disappointed to learn that they only existed in a small part of Dongda.
Other countries saw this and thought it was a great formation. It could be activated for a period of time in each season, allowing people to experience the vastness of the ground instead of living in cramped underground cities. Therefore, they also contacted Dongda University to inquire about the price of the formation.
Knowing the price, all countries were in despair.
They could certainly sell the minerals, but who knows how many years it would take for them to wander Earth? If the minerals ran out before they arrived in a new habitable star system, what would they leave for their descendants? They couldn't possibly let their descendants arrive in a new star system with nothing and have to start all over again, could they?
However, those who hold this view are always in the minority. Most people believe that the older generation should be allowed to survive first. As for the younger generation, they are fortunate enough to have the species continue, so they should have to work hard for their own future.
Therefore, many countries decided to ask Tokyo University to help build a large array.
However, upon seeing the price, the spirit stones consumed each time they were activated, and the price of those spirit stones, they felt desperate and troubled, indicating that they needed to reconsider.
During the time that various countries were considering, many more people attempted to infiltrate Tokyo University, but thanks to the National Protection Formation, they were unable to get in at all.
Countries are even more desperate.
The University of Tokyo was very angry and immediately imposed tariffs on all kinds of exported products.
Ruan Mianmian would occasionally pay attention to assessing the situation, and seeing this, she asked Leader Liu, "Isn't this pushing too hard?"
If countries unite, it won't cause very serious harm, but it will cause a lot of trouble.
"They can't get in, and they're not sure if their weapons can break through our defenses, so they won't act openly. Most likely, they'll have their spies, who have been lurking in the country, take action. Of course, they might also bribe people who are dissatisfied with society to cause trouble. The country anticipated this and knows how to deal with it, so don't worry."
Leader Liu told Ruan Mianmian that everything was going according to the country's plan, so there was no need to worry too much.
After saying that, he smiled again before continuing, "Of course, the reason we are so at ease is because you have given us confidence. With confidence, we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation, so don't worry."
After hearing Leader Liu say "Don't worry" twice, Ruan Mianmian stopped worrying.
In fact, she didn't have time to worry anymore, because a new interdimensional travel was about to begin.
This time, Ruan Mianmian took away more people, as well as many books on arts and sciences, many plant seeds, animal embryos and genetic maps—the country is prepared, and if Blue Star does not survive this time, what Ruan Mianmian brought can continue the civilization of Dongda University.
This was the first time Ruan Mianmian had felt so heavy-hearted looking at the shopping mall overflowing with goods.
However, the dimensional travel was too fast; before she could even feel the effects, she had already traveled to a new dimension.
As usual, we sent out drones to explore the outside world.
The drone went out quickly and returned quickly, bringing back heavy news.
Outside is an ancient world, like a certain dynasty in Tokyo. It's not a world of high martial arts, and there aren't even any martial arts heroes. People are ordinary people, and plants and animals are ordinary plants and animals.
However, there are hardly any plants or animals to be seen outside anymore.
Three consecutive years of severe drought have led to widespread suffering and devastation of the land.
The drone flew over three villages made of thatched huts, but didn't see a single living person, only human bones.
The villages were surrounded by barren land, completely excavated.
The water collected by the drone was detected to contain extremely faint traces of Vibrio cholerae.
Everyone was heavy-hearted upon hearing the news brought back by the drone.
In ancient times, such droughts and plagues would likely have left nine out of ten houses empty.
Ruan Mianmian sent the drone out again to see how far away there were any signs of human habitation. Then she looked at the group and said, "If there are no people in this area, we'll probably have to use a spaceship to load up our cargo and sell it to the disaster victims at a low price."
Living under such natural disasters, the most miserable are those at the bottom of society.
She only hoped that she could save more people from the underprivileged.
She wasn't particularly lofty, but the idea of "cultivating one's own virtue when poor, and helping others when successful" was a deeply ingrained worldview in her mind.
Everyone nodded.
Yu Qingqing was anxious: "Drones are probably too slow, how about I take all the equipment and go out for a flight?"
"Don't rush, let's think about how to provide disaster relief," Professor Zhao said. "If we try to provide relief on our own, we are very likely to clash with the local rulers. So, I suggest we communicate with the rulers first."
“I’m afraid those rulers will line their own pockets,” Qi Wan said. “We’re not afraid of conflict with them, so to protect the interests of the disaster victims, I don’t think we need to go through the rulers.” Ancient times are not like modern times, where there are various methods of detection, so she doesn’t really trust the regional rulers of ancient times.
Ruan Mianmian thought for a moment and said, "We can cooperate with the local rulers. We will distribute the rice and grain, and they will be responsible for organizing the disaster victims and assigning them jobs."
"Would they be willing to do this if there's no profit to be made?" Yu Qingqing asked worriedly.
Ruan Mianmian narrowed her beautiful eyes: "They have no choice but to comply."
Afterwards, several plans were developed, and the details of each plan were discussed and agreed upon. The aid plan was basically finalized.
Then the drone flew back. There was a small town 20 kilometers away from here.
However, the small town was very desolate, and it looked like a group of people had survived a cholera outbreak.
Twenty kilometers was not a short distance in the time when Ruan Mianmian came, so it was unlikely that ordinary people would travel 20 kilometers to buy things—although they were willing to walk such a long distance for a bite to eat, it was too much of a drain and unnecessary.
After a while, drones from other directions also returned.
There's a small town ten kilometers to the east of here. It still has people, but they're all dressed in rags and digging for wild grass to eat outside the town.
There are also small towns 10 kilometers to the west and south.
The towns in these three directions are relatively close, but the drone flew slowly because it had already explored the villages along the way, which is why it was late in returning.
After learning the general situation, Ruan Mianmian and her group divided into ten groups. In addition to sending a team to each of the four directions (east, south, west, and north) to provide support with rice, flour, sugar, etc., they also sent a team to each of the northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast, and other smaller directions.
Ruan Mianmian has two planet-level living rings with fast time flow, which can grow a large amount of food in a short time, so she doesn't have to worry about food shortages.
