An Ordinary Man by Nature (Nuclear Energy This Chapter)

The Three-Headed People who had emerged from Sinner City were brought to the Underground City by Qiu Zhiheng.

Every household in the Underground City craned their necks to look. So many people had arrived at once—where were they supposed to be settled?

The Human Market, Earth Market, and Sea Market had never lacked people in the past, but times had changed, and so had their way of doing business.

Li Banfeng and Ma Wu had founded a new trading company specifically responsible for commerce between Pro State and the Outer State. Many businesses that had once profited the Outer State alone had been transformed into trade that benefited both sides.

Take the quarrying business, for instance. Outer State companies mined stone in Pro State, paying only quarry rent to Guanfang Hall while labor costs were practically negligible. Li Banfeng, Tangyuan, and Light Bulb had even worked at quarries like that before.

Now, Li Banfeng no longer allowed raw stone to be sold. What he sold were preliminarily processed Dark Energy Carriers. The business brought greater profits, but it also required more hands.

Luo ZhengNan invited Zhang Fanglong to the Earth Market. Zhang Fanglong improved the seeds, and grain yields rose as well.

Old Train delivered a batch of new ships from the sea. The warships were left with White Falcon County for defense, while the cargo ships were sent to the Sea Market for transport.

Three Heads Junction, which had once struck terror into all who heard its name and had been Pro State's purgatory, was now gradually showing traces of life. Ma Wu had even begun discussing the Underground City's expansion with Li Qi.

"Expansion is necessary. The ground above Three Heads Junction is too dangerous. We should strive to relocate all the surface residents into the Underground City."
