Chapter 29, The Miracle City of Arnus Hill

Before the "gate" at the top of Arnus Hill was opened, although Arnus Hill had the name of a holy mountain, there were actually no cliffs, and the relative height difference from the surrounding fields was only more than ten meters. It is just a gentle small hill slightly raised in the middle of a flat grassland.

Of course, at the edge of this open grassland, there are steep cliffs again—from the perspective of the entire range of mountains, this is actually a vast terrace located on the mountainside and surrounded by mountains on all sides.Therefore, the term "Arnus Hill" sometimes just refers to the small palm-sized mound under the "gate" on the Farmat continent, but more often, it refers to the surrounding area with a radius of tens of thousands. km of the entire plateau.

Then, although the wilderness around the Arnus Hills is located in the core hinterland of the southern civilization area of ​​the mainland, due to the barren soil and lack of water sources, no one has ever settled and cultivated it.Until the empire assembled a large army and launched a raid on the alien world, the vicinity of Arnus Hill was still deserted, except for the "gate" on the top of the hill, which was regarded as a miracle, there were no other man-made structures. trace.

Especially when the other side of the "gate" connected to the bottom of Hong Kong's Victoria Bay, and after four months of flooding the other world with seawater, the grassland around Arnus Hill was also soaked into a muddy swamp, and It is still a salt water swamp, which makes people frown upon seeing it.

However, only three days later, when Wang Qiu and the others went to the city of Ita Rica, more than 100 kilometers away, made a reconnaissance in disguise, and returned smoothly, the Arnus hill had been completely changed. Appearance - hundreds of square kilometers of muddy swamps soaked by seawater for four months, all disappeared without a trace, and turned into neat patches of pastures, nurseries and woods, dotted with a few wind power stations in the middle, and Some beautiful small houses like villas.Concrete roads criss-cross and shuttle among them, extending to the distant mountains. In order to cross several steep rifts nearby, several viaducts with four lanes were built.On the originally flat and solid field, a square pit appeared, which was filled with clear snow-capped mountain streams and turned into a rippling reservoir.In the distance, on the top of a high mountain, there are radio towers, weather stations and observatories.In addition, on a flat-topped mountain that has been artificially expanded and reinforced, Wang Qiu also saw a small airport under construction. The runway, tower, hangar, and apron are all available. It seems that it should be completed soon... …

At first glance, it looks like a decent modern city.However, as long as you see those soldiers in camouflage uniforms flying around in the air with [bamboo dragonflies] on their heads, you will know that this place has surpassed the level of a modern city and can be called a science fiction city.

"...Such a large project only took three days... How many black technology props from the Doraemon plane were used on it?" Looking at the Arnus Hill, which was empty three days ago, it is now like a Covered with traces of earth civilization, Wang Qiu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "...It feels a bit too extravagant, doesn't it? Even if you figure out the back door of the [chronological vending machine] now, you can buy [Bamboo Dragonfly] And things like [Translation Konjac Jelly]. But there are still quite a few props that are not sold in the [Time Vending Machine]!"

"...Who made it possible that this will be the last crossing? If you are still reluctant to use it now, do you have to pile it up in the warehouse to mold?"

Political Commissar Guo seemed to have expected this, "...but... it's been this year, and it's really awkward to build such a tall city wall... Is it true that the guys above are from " Have you watched too much Attack on Titan?" He muttered, frowning.

——Compared with the scenes described before, there is another more conspicuous and exaggerated thing on Arnus Hill: In just three days, the relevant departments surrounded the building on Arnus Hill The "gate" connecting Hong Kong to the earth has spared no expense to build a majestic city wall more than 30 meters high!It encloses a land of more than ten square kilometers centered on Arnus Hill in one breath, and it seems to have built an antique fortified city—not the Israeli settlements in modern Palestine built to prevent human bombs and car bombs. The kind of thin concrete partition wall is dotted with solid towers, the wall is as thick as a pyramid, and the top of the wall can run tanks directly on the antique city wall!Compared with the city of Ita Rica that I have seen before, regardless of the height of the walls of this new city, the area of ​​the new city alone is ten times that of the former.

Although in the eyes of modern people on earth, such an ancient tall city wall seems a bit outdated and redundant, it is simply a cumbersome decoration-in terms of the cost performance of actual defense capabilities, it is probably far inferior to simple barbed wire, trenches and mines Field, that is, the appearance is more stylish.But for the natives of the foreign world in the Falmat continent, this is obviously more in line with the concept of the word "city" in their minds...

In short, for the giant city that appeared suddenly like a miracle on the hill of Arnus, the young magician Lelei who acted as the guide, and the old village head of Gota Village were all shocked. He opened his mouth in the distance and stood there for a long time before remembering to lead the horse and move on.

Then, at the checkpoint at the city gate, the reconnaissance team returning from Ita Rica finally parted ways.Visitors from other worlds, such as Wang Qiu, naturally entered the urban area to report to the leaders. As for Leilei and the old village chief, they were politely taken to the new refugee settlement by the guards.

After a lapse of three days, the refugee camp for the local aborigines has undergone tremendous changes, and it is no longer the simple and simple tent village at the beginning.

Although the area surrounded by the city wall of Arnus Hill is enough to house 10,000+ people, for safety reasons, the relevant departments did not allow the indigenous refugees to move to live in the city wall near the "gate", but at a distance of about A new village was built for them in the suburbs of two kilometers.

The whole village is a square with only one entrance and exit, and barbed wire fences are stretched in other places.A small fort-like sentry box and a reinforced sentry were also installed at the exit, not only to protect the safety of the refugees, but also to maintain close surveillance 24 hours a day.Inside the barbed wire is a large piece of hardened ground covered with cement, and many small bungalows distributed in a checkerboard pattern, serving as residences for indigenous refugees. Almost all the houses have exactly the same appearance, and the overall layout is as neat as a military parade square. together.

——If it is seen by the boring idlers on the modern earth, it is estimated that most of them will complain that this so-called "village" is really like a concentration camp.

Considering that the aborigines in other worlds neither knew how to use electricity safely nor how to use gas, so apart from the street lights at the entrance of the village, the whole village had no electrical circuits or piped gas.Each household is provided with a kerosene lamp for lighting, a briquette stove that can be moved outdoors for cooking, and tap water is not connected to each household. The faucet—in fact, it was originally planned to dig a deep well for the indigenous people to fetch water for themselves.However, during the actual construction, it was discovered that the groundwater in this area was generally of poor quality due to being soaked in seawater from Hong Kong’s Victoria Bay for four months, so a water pipe was connected to it in the end... …

From the perspective of modern Chinese, this kind of living conditions without electricity is obviously very bad, worse than most impoverished mountain villages, and probably similar to the most remote and difficult border posts.However, for the natives from other worlds who lived such a backward life, they were overjoyed to be able to live in such a solid and majestic "stone house" instead of log cabins and thatched huts.And the spacious and bright glass windows on the walls of each room amazed them even more-in this world with backward productivity, glass products are still a kind of jewelry, and plate glass is even more expensive and rare. No, but it is definitely not affordable for ordinary poor people...

Since the original Gota Village has the largest number of residents among the indigenous refugees gathered in the Arnus Hills, the refugees named the village "New Gota Village" after obtaining the consent of the people in green clothes. They also wrote a sign in their characters and erected it outside the entrance of the village.

When the old village chief of Gota Village and Leilei led their horses to Xin Gota Village, it was just at dusk, and women of all ethnic groups could be seen everywhere under the walls and eaves, with smoke from cooking in coal cake ovens, and A large group of children of different races were laughing and playing in the open space inside the barbed wire.Seeing the old village head and Leilei returning from afar, the children immediately rushed forward, chattering with each other:

"...Mommy, look, the village head grandpa and sister Leilei are back!"

"...Grandpa, the village chief! Is your trip going well this time?"

"...Sister Lelei! It's a pity that you are not here these days! There are all kinds of wonderful things here every day!"

"...Yes, yes! Those men in green are amazing! It took only three days to build such a big city!"

"...and more, we only heard a 'boom', and saw that they blew up a huge lake in the ground! Sister Leilei, you are a magician, do you know what kind of magic they use? ah?"

"...Sister Leilei! This is the lollipop that little rabbit sister gave me. It's so sweet! Come and taste one too!"

"...Sister Leilei! This is the ball given to us by the man in green. It can be bounced very high with just one tap! Let's play together, shall we?"
