Just like the ropes I built between the two buildings in Meidu Garden before.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately began to search for target supplies in the Lottery Disc again.
Soon he found what he was looking for in the 10,000 Points Lottery Disc.
"Super Alloy Steel Cable, Space-Specific Cable, airplane hinge strap..."
Liang Yuan’s eyes sparkled. These were all technological items, not considered Superpower Materials and Items.
With 10,000 Points, there was a certain chance to win.
After some thought, Liang Yuan said to the system: "System, show the 100,000 Points Lottery Disc."
Swish!
The Lottery Disc immediately updated the item pool.
Liang Yuan quickly flipped through it, and soon found the category he wanted.
With a rough glance, his eyes widened.
"Vajra Spider Web Rope? Black Obsidian Silk Cable? Piggy Dragon Tendon Lock?"
His breath quickened. From the names alone, he knew these were items from mutant organisms.
As expected of the 100,000 Points Lottery Disc, the supplies inside were truly extraordinary.
But the price...
Liang Yuan silently exited the interface and returned to the 10,000 Points Lottery Disc.
He couldn’t afford to spend on the 100,000 Points Lottery Disc right now.
It seemed more appropriate to use regular technological product cables for now.
"System, target Super Alloy Steel Cable!"
"Ding, targeting Super Alloy Steel Cable requires spending 10,000 Points, proceed?"
"Proceed!"
"Ding, congratulations, you have drawn Super Alloy Steel Cable*1."
Liang Yuan quickly checked the item bar.
Sure enough, in the item bar, there was a pitch-black steel cable.
Liang Yuan swiftly skimmed the attributes.
Super Alloy Steel Cable: Super strength, lightweight steel cable made of highly ductile superalloy.
Material: Superalloy
Length: 10,000 meters
Diameter: 0.5 cm
Weight: 100 g/m
...
Looking at the length attribute, Liang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"10,000 meters in length, that’s sufficient."
"But to pull up this 10,000-meter steel cable directly won’t be easy. Even with my Strength Attribute reaching 50 Points, it might be challenging to straighten it completely."
"It seems the best method is to focus on building the floating bridge."
Liang Yuan pondered, realizing this was no small project.
The floating bridge was the most reliable option at present.
Firstly, the floating bridge wouldn’t fear flooding. As the floodwaters rose, the bridge could continue to float upwards.
Secondly, the structure of a floating bridge was simple. As long as enough floating objects were secured to form a bridge surface, it would be passable.
Liang Yuan chose the Super Alloy Steel Cable because of its high strength, high ductility, and light weight.
Its light weight made it easy for floating objects to lift it, not too heavy to drag up.
Based on the attributes of the Super Alloy Steel Cable:
One meter of Super Alloy Steel Cable only weighed 100 g.
Five kilometers of Super Alloy Steel Cable only weighed 500 kg.
Liang Yuan had already thought of a floating carrier.
That would be the super duckweed floating in the floodwaters!
"These super duckweeds have extremely high buoyancy and load capacity."
"If they’re all tied to the Super Alloy Steel Cable, wouldn’t that be a natural floating bridge?"
Liang Yuan laughed.
Once the floating bridge was built, Superpower Users would have a footing on the water and could quickly cross the river, traveling between the two mountains.
He could then regularly send people to hunt and fish in the Water Marsh Restricted Area, clearing out mutant organisms.
The mutant organisms in this area would significantly reduce, allowing him to accumulate Points and maintain security.
The Water Marsh Restricted Area would then become a safe zone, eliminating the need for the restricted area designation.
At that point, not only Superpower Users but even ordinary people could traverse the floodwaters between the two mountains.
"The closer the connection between the two mountains, the better control we can truly have over them."
"Then more people can be accommodated here, and the Yangshan Shelter will become a larger refuge."
Liang Yuan smiled. This matter would take some time to push forward.
The floating bridge issue would need the help of Song Wen, the plant-controlling Superpower User.
She would need to find a way to induce the duckweed to bind with the Super Alloy Steel Cable.
But before that, he needed to clear out the nearby mutant creatures.
Otherwise, the construction of the floating bridge would be constantly interrupted by mutant organisms.
As he pondered, Liang Yuan closed his eyes to rest.
The sky outside had darkened, and he couldn’t return to Yangshan tonight.
Liang Yuan and Yang Mei temporarily stayed at Jieshi Academy.
Li Xiangyang had only sent someone to notify the people in the academy. He himself had taken most of his team to question the smaller shelters.
Yang Mei must have been completely exhausted. She slept straight through the night, missing dinner.
When Liang Yuan got up, he saw her outside talking to people, seemingly making breakfast.
As he walked out, everyone greeted him with respectful and awed expressions.
Yang Mei turned around, saw him, and immediately smiled, waving at him: "Little brother, you’re awake! I borrowed some rice from everyone, and made some porridge. It’s almost done, I’ll get you a bowl."
Liang Yuan smiled and glanced at the ceramic pot on the stove.
The porridge inside was white, with many unknown vegetable leaves sprinkled on top.
He looked at the others’ breakfasts and found that some were roasting sweet potatoes, while others were cooking congee.
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this what you usually eat?"
A middle-aged woman quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Liang. We grow sweet potatoes and rice ourselves. If we save them, we can fill our stomachs."
Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where did you get these sweet potatoes and rice? Did you bring them from home?"
The middle-aged woman said, "Some of it we brought from home during the great flood."
"And some sweet potatoes and radishes were originally planted in the mountain fields. When we had nothing to eat after escaping to the mountains, we found these fields and dug them up to eat."
Meishan was different from Yangshan. As a scenic spot, Yangshan couldn’t allow the cultivation of farmland.
But Meishan, with its agricultural and tourism economy, had better soil for farming than Yangshan.
The land had also been allocated to the villagers of Meishan Village at the foot of the mountain to grow Yang Mei trees.
So there were quite a few farmland plots with crops on Meishan.
Liang Yuan realized that the cultivation conditions in Meishan were much better than in Yangshan.
Not only that, but these crops might have also mutated and evolved!
These crops might have adapted to the flood conditions!
Liang Yuan quickly asked, "Do you still have crops in your fields? Did you save some of these crops for seeds?"
