Chapter 236 Huazhou and Ghost Academy
At the entrance of the ground arch under the ghost lighthouse of Crystal City, in a special ground boat, three people were having a discussion.
Uluru was trembling.
The other two who spoke had extraordinary identities and origins.
One was the prophet chosen by the White God, a former martial monk and ghost doctor, Ms. Yao Pu. She now also resides in the ghost lighthouse, and has been committed to pushing the ghosts of the empire out of the tower and rebuilding this old capital of the empire.
The other was the wise man Huang Jue of the bully locust clan. It was appointed as a prophet by the God Yao, and led the clan to break free from the instinctive shackles and found a way to integrate into the Yao clan civilization.
The locust swarms left behind gradually evolved into today's killing locusts. Most of them were muddle-headed and only knew how to plunder food, and often killed each other for food.
In front of the two prophets, Uluru was really a little nervous.
"... Mr. Uluru, what do you think?" Huang Jue looked at him.
The Wuji man's body stiffened. He took out a notebook and wrote on it with a feather pen: Are you talking about the problem of locust swarms?
"Yes."
The locust is much smaller than a human. It lies on the seat, and the two linear antennae on its head sway gently. Its compound eyes look at the Wuji man in front of it seriously.
Wululu thought about it in his mind.
After a series of reconstruction and rectification, Crystal City has now completely driven the locust swarms out of the city. With the guards of the flame totem and the green rose, the locust swarms have also cut off the way to sneak in from underground.
However, there are still a large number of insect swarms lurking near the city, and they may drill out of the soil at any time and attack the citizens of Crystal City along the way.
This is the most serious public security problem at present, which not only affects the residents of Crystal City, but also threatens the merchants and workers who come here from other cities to trade.
The martial monks cleared tens of thousands of locust swarms, but because the killing locusts have a strong reproductive capacity and do not avoid cannibalism, the dead have only become food for the living.
The clearing operation outside Crystal City lasted for several months, and the effect was mediocre.
Locust Jue thought that since the gods did not destroy this tribe, it meant that they had some value. In dealing with disasters, it is better to disperse than to block.
It proposed to use the bully locusts to communicate with the local killing locusts - the two are the same source, and there is no barrier to communication between them.
After years of fighting in the local area, the killing locusts also formed various groups. The styles of groups in different regions are also very different. Some locust groups are stable and conservative, some are radical and crazy, some are wandering hunting, and some are keen on stealing.
Locust Jue believes that we should find a group that can be recruited and let them be used by Crystal City.
In this way, the movements and intelligence of the killing locusts will be very clear. Every additional group of collaborators will reduce some potential enemies and threats.
It has tried and found that some killing locusts are willing. The harsh and barren wild life and the life-and-death hunting that is uncertain at any time are not what all locust groups want.
Locust Jue also explained his intentions very frankly.
It is for the sake of Crystal City, and also wants the Killing Locusts to gradually get rid of the primitive life of eating hair and blood and enter the circle of civilization like the bully locusts in the past.
Of course, changing the way of survival of a tribe is not an easy task, and it needs to be done step by step.
…
Uluru wrote a sentence on the paper with a pen, then picked up the paper and showed it to the two prophets.
——I think it is a good idea to try it with Huazhou.
"Is it this new ground boat? I came in a hurry and haven't taken a good look yet."
Huang Jue flew out from the side exit and observed in mid-air.
Looking down from the air, this shuttle-shaped ground boat is of medium size, like a paddle boat without sails, stranded in the mud.
Unlike other fully enclosed ground boats, three tall green roses are planted on the top of this shuttle-shaped boat, and they watch each other at equal distances.
The brown-yellow ground boat grows thorny branches and green petals, which has a unique beauty.
Locust Jue immediately understood the ingenuity of this ground boat.
It flew back to the boat and said in amazement: "Using green roses as defensive weapons, as long as there is a swarm of locusts attacking, they will be attacked by the thorns shot by the roses... What an amazing and ingenious idea!"
"Uluru is a real genius." Yao Pu smiled and said: "This is certified by Fabiani."
Uluru turned the page with his fingers, revealing the handwriting on the next page.
——The green roses cultivated by Lord Pinkman are not picky about the environment, are easy to transplant, and have a gentle temperament. As long as there is soil and water, they can grow tenaciously.
——The most difficult thing is actually the transformation of the ground boat. The ground environment is completely different from the underground environment. Only the bottom of the ground boat can touch the soil and stones. Many Wuji people participated in the improvement together, but the speed of the flower boat could not be improved. It was slower than a camel, and it could only sail on flat areas at present.
"It's just a small problem, it doesn't matter."
Huang Jue said: "It is much more durable than mules and horses. As long as it is controlled by Wuji people, it can not only ensure the safety of passengers inside, but also transport goods intact. It is really an epoch-making vehicle, incredible!"
"Uluru's idea is more than that."
Yao Pu said for the Wuji geologist: "He wants to use the flower boat to recapture the abandoned farmland, protect the farmland by planting green roses, and gradually restore the planting area outside the city."
Huang Jue sighed: "Indeed, this is the long-term solution. Crystal City will definitely be revived, and the flower boat will become an extension of this city."
Uluru breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had met many heroes with his teacher Fabiani, this was the first time he had faced them alone.
If it weren't for the teacher's wife, Ms. Yaopu, he felt that he would not be able to explain clearly.
However, whether it is recruiting and assimilating locust swarms, or building flower boats to expand rose plantings, it all relies on Crystal City's own strength, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower.
In terms of connecting and attracting the outside world and stimulating Crystal City's own advantages, Ms. Yaopu has taken a crucial step.
Uluru believes that what she did laid the foundation for everything that followed.
"Let me also talk about my progress."
Yao Pu patted his forehead with his finger armor, and the noise in the armor became slightly less.
"Not long ago, I have formally reached an agreement with Cupilol, the leader of Yaocheng Temple Association, Shibao Prophet and Copper Sea Mayor of Yancheng, and Chapman of Sanillo."
"Crystal City's ghost lectures will be officially held regularly in the three cities."
"The speakers are all experienced ghost remnants of the empire. The Fifth Fearless Empire is very accomplished in military science, medicine, architecture, and casting and smelting. The speakers will also give courses in these areas and impart the valuable knowledge accumulated by the empire. "
"The city that listens to the lecture will pay a remuneration, part of which will be given directly to the lecturer. The outstanding lecturers will be hired as professional ghost lecturers. They will not only lecture at the lighthouse in Crystal City, but also tour various cities. speech."
Yao Pu paused and said, "In this way, the nearly 100,000 permanent ghost residents in Crystal City can all use their abilities. As long as they have mastered knowledge and experience, they can cash it into wealth, reputation and dignity."
"The precious knowledge left by the empire should not be buried. It is a good thing to circulate it."
She smiled: "By combining what we each do, Crystal City will surely recover quickly. Coupled with the direct benefits brought by glass products, this city will get better and better, far beyond the empire period."
"When the time comes, maybe this place won't be weaker than Yaocheng and Yancheng."
The three of them were discussing how to further utilize the empire's heritage when a burst of white light lit up on the ghost lighthouse.
"This is……"
After Yaopu confirmed it again and again, he shouted in surprise: "A wonder, a new wonder has been born in Crystal City!"
"This is...Ghost Academy."
"Ghost Academy! God gave the name!"
All three people became excited.
They can all clearly feel that the Ghost Academy, which was upgraded from the Ghost Lighthouse, has more power than before. This will be a sign of the re-emergence of Crystal City.
