After leaving the institute, it was still early, so Li Ba went directly to the weapons foundry.
In order to prevent his appearance from causing riots in the city.
He specially borrowed an electric car at the institute.
The car was produced by the research institute, and was modified from a car.
The engine was changed and it was driven entirely by electricity.
As oil resources are dwindling, electric vehicles have now become a popular means of transportation.
Today, only the military still uses high-horsepower fuel vehicles.
In Xibu City, and even in the entire Hua League area, fuel vehicles have been banned for civilian use.
Drive an electric car on the wide streets.
Looking around, there are waves of pedestrians and bustling people, making it a prosperous scene.
After several expansions, Xibu City now has the size of a medium to large city before the end of the world.
The permanent population is three million, and including the floating population, it is nearly five million.
It is the largest settlement city in the entire Chinese League.
Due to geographical conditions, the scale of Xibu City has reached its limit.
With a population of five million, it is close to its peak capacity.
Despite this, there are still a large number of survivors from the outer cities who come to Xibu City every day to admire the urban scenery of this largest city in the Chinese League.
Obviously, Xibu City did not disappoint them.
Thanks to Li Ba's efforts, the green area in Xibu City has reached 60%.
Looking around, the streets are full of all kinds of mutant plants, mainly mutant fruit trees, covering the entire city.
High-rise buildings and concrete buildings are no longer cold and full of vitality.
In the eyes of survivors from other places, Xibu City is fresh and pleasant with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
It is simply a modern city standing in the virgin forest.
If they can live here, even if their lives are shortened by ten or twenty years.
Also willingly.
However, now I want to become a resident of Xibu City and have a settlement card.
It is dozens of times more difficult than settling in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou before the end of the world.
As early as half a year ago, Xibu City had issued an order from the city lord to no longer issue settlement cards to outsiders.
Even if you settle in the outer city of Jiuluan, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
Only those with special talents or who have made significant contributions to Xibu City can receive such honors.
Of course, if you marry a local resident of Xibu City.
You can still apply for a settlement card.
As a result, the local residents of Xibu City, regardless of men, women, old or young, have become popular.
There is a joke circulating within the Chinese League.
There is an old widower in Xibu City.
He is not good-looking, physically disabled, and has no skills.
All living on the dole. on a certain day.
He thought about it and was ready to find a wife to spend the rest of his life with.
The day after he got the news, matchmakers swarmed in and almost broke through the door of his house.
A lot of young girls from other places are queuing up to marry him, and they don't even mind being his mistress.
According to the laws and regulations of Xibu City, procreation is encouraged and polygamy is not prohibited.
However, a foreign girl married into Xibu City.
There is only one enrollment quota.
If you want to marry someone with a second or third wife, you can register.
But you have to pay a hefty fee.
Some foreign women who are willing to become old widowers with two or three bedrooms even offer to bear the registration fee themselves.

This shows how valuable the Xibu City Settlement Card is.
This is just a common joke.
Li Ba once promised to make everyone in the city proud of being a resident of Xibu City.
Now, he did it.
Driving on the street, looking at the people around me, everyone’s faces are filled with laughter and happiness.
Li Ba himself was also very happy.
This is his city, the home he built with all his heart and soul.
In the days to come, he will use everything he has to defend his homeland and protect everyone living here.
Come to the weapons foundry.
As the territory expanded, the number of troops increased, and business developed, the demand for cold weapons also increased rapidly.
After two years, the scale of the weapons foundry continued to expand.
Today, the factory covers an area of 100 acres and has more than 10,000 workers.
Even so, the productivity of weapons foundries still cannot meet the needs of the market.
Come to the main factory building.
The towering steel-making furnace uses electricity entirely and can smelt hundreds of tons of steel at a time.
The fiery red molten iron flows through the crucible and is divided into different working areas.
Some require secondary refining, while others are directly poured into the mold, cooled and poured into shape.
The main factory building, which covers tens of thousands of square meters, was filled with heat, accompanied by the sound of hammering and knocking, making it very lively.
A sharp-eyed worker saw Li Ba coming and immediately turned around to report.
Not long after, Boss Xue, the director of the weapons foundry, came over.
"Boss, I was looking for you"
As soon as they met, Boss Xue kept complaining.
There were too many external orders, and his assembly line lacked tool molds and could not be completed at all.
After the weapon foundry produced the talisman, basically, ordinary cold weapons have been eliminated.
Except for some equipment required for large-scale infrastructure.
In addition, whether it is the military department or the trading house, the orders placed are all kinds of talismans.
Without complaining, Boss Xue directly dragged Li Ba to the talisman production workshop.
Here, there are about a dozen jade talisman molds, about the same size as a table, placed in a square shape.
There were dozens of workers nearby, all young and strong men, joining hands in pairs to carry the refined molten iron and pour it into the mold.
The jade mold's overall aura flickered, and after about ten minutes, each piece of talisman was cast.
Most of these talismans were mainly swords, guns, swords and shields.
After the finished product, the runes loomed on the surface and glowed with aura, which was similar to the talisman made by Li Ba himself.
"Boss, we only have a total of twelve sets of talisman molds now.
We can only produce 500 finished products in 24 hours.
Not to mention the army, just the order placed by the trading company, we can't complete it in three months.
You said , what to do?”
Boss Xue began to express his bitterness.
These days, he was being pressed for goods by people from both the commercial bank and the military department, which gave him a headache.
Now the boss has arrived just in time.
As long as he can provide twenty more sets of talisman molds, the urgent need can be solved.
Twenty sets of talisman molds Li Ba smiled bitterly after hearing this.
If Boss Xue needs twenty high-quality talismans, he can refine them later and send them to him.
But let alone twenty sets of these talisman molds, he couldn't make even two sets now.
The talisman mold involves the inscription of various talisman arrays and takes a lot of time.
With Li Ba's current attainments in talismans, it would take at least three or four days to complete a set of molds.

This is just a process, even if it's a little complicated, it's not a big deal.
The key is that he doesn't have the materials to make the mold for the talisman. jade essence This is the material necessary to make the talisman mold.
Jade essence, as the name suggests, is the essence of jade, which needs to be extracted from the inside of ordinary jade.
After being tempered by spiritual fire, it takes one hundred kilograms of ordinary jade to extract one kilogram of jade essence.
A set of molds for casting low-level talismans requires a full hundred kilograms of jade essence.
In other words, it would cost 10,000 kilograms of jade.
On that day, in order to enable mass production of Talisman tools and enhance the overall strength of Huameng.
Li Ba gritted his teeth and crafted twelve sets of talisman molds.
He had almost used up the jade he brought back from the Miao area.
Now, his soldiers and horses are fighting everywhere, and although a large amount of jade has been collected, these jade stones are only enough to cultivate elixirs, and there is no savings at all to make molds for talismans.
After Li Ba told the situation, Boss Xue expressed his understanding.
After all, in a sense, the elixir is more important.
"Alas, we don't produce jade here.
It would be great if we could open the transportation line to the southwest as soon as possible."
Of course Boss Xue knew the Southern Army's action plan.
At this moment, I was so anxious that I wished I could leave the foundry and take people there myself to help the Southern Army open up a line of communication.
In that case, business in the southwest will be smooth and jade will continue to come.
The talisman mold he needs is not a problem.
"Boss, come with me" Li Ba smiled after hearing this and pulled Boss Xue to the open space behind the factory.
Afterwards, he waved his hand, the air in front of him twisted and fluctuated, and a giant battleship appeared out of thin air and landed in the open field.
Boss Xue also has a storage charm, so he is not surprised at all that the boss can conjure things out of thin air.
What shocked him was that this battleship was huge and majestic, with exquisite style, and countless runes looming on the hull.
Obviously, this is a talisman.
A powerful giant talisman "This is the Qingming Battleship" Li Ba introduced the functions of this battleship to Boss Xue in detail.
"In a week at most, I will take this ship to the Southwest Miao District.
When I come back, not to mention twenty sets of talisman molds, even if I build the entire set of talisman molds for the Qingming Battleship, I will get them for you."
Having said this, Li Ba was full of confidence. s: Thank you again for your monthly ticket support.
