Although Elder Zhou and his team started collecting grain reserves more than a year ago, the amount of grain needed for 6 billion people for a year still accounts for more than one-third of their reserves.
Furthermore, agriculture will certainly not recover in the short term after migrating to No. 2 Spacetime.
Only by having enough food reserves to last for several years can social stability be guaranteed.
And in the future, we might even have to provide food aid to other countries that have migrated there.
Therefore, for Elder Zhou, this amount of assistance is already the limit they can provide.
Any more than that, and it will significantly impact their lives after the relocation.
Sun Deyi felt that the assistance provided by the two timelines was by no means insufficient.
While this aid cannot completely solve their problems, it can at least help them get through their current difficulties and make their lives a little easier.
All ten people Wandering Spacetime stood up and expressed their sincerest gratitude to Elder Zhou and Tong Wenshi.
Then Sun Deyi told Zhang Tianyuan and the others about the situation of his side's material production.
"Since the implementation of the Wandering Plan, which officially ushered in the era of braking, the Earth's rotation speed has slowed down, and the drastic changes in weather have almost completely destroyed our agriculture."
"Currently, our food mainly comes from earthworms and meat, poultry, and vegetable farms in the underground city. Although we have endless energy, we are completely unable to take full advantage of this unlimited energy due to the limited usable area."
Listening to the detailed explanation, Zhang Tianyuan, Elder Zhou, and the others sighed, lamenting the cruel twist of fate.
Normally, once nuclear fusion technology is introduced, agriculture will experience a complete liberation of productivity.
Vertical farms can provide sunlight at all times, enabling the rapid cultivation of various fruits and vegetables in a soilless manner.
The underground city looks large, but in reality, there isn't much space available for the vertical farm.
Various residential areas, material storage areas, industrial production areas, emergency shelter areas...
The amount left for agricultural production is severely insufficient, not even enough to supply the daily food needs of the 350,000 residents in each underground city. Vegetables, fruits, and real meat can only be distributed as welfare during festivals.
Zhang Tianyuan spoke only after Sun Deyi had finished speaking.
"Spacetime One and Two"
I will strictly oversee the implementation of your aid; you can rest assured.
"Furthermore, regarding your earlier suggestion of merging time and space, after discussion, I feel that this approach is inappropriate."
Sun Deyi's heart sank.
Knowing that Tong Wenshi didn't even want to talk to them, they directly asked President Zhang to step in and play the villain.
However, there was nothing he could do about this situation.
After all, Tong Wenshi had been good enough to them, willing to take in their elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, turning the place into their rear base, which would save them a lot of trouble and give everyone something to look forward to.
The other nine people also looked rather somber.
Actually, they had anticipated that this was the most likely outcome, so they weren't too disappointed.
Zhang Tianyuan looked at them and continued:
"However, if you really want to escape this time and space, the Mutual Aid Society isn't without options."
This statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Not only Sun Deyi and others, but also Elder Zhou and Tong Wenshi looked over.
Now only No. 2 Spacetime has room left. Where can these people from No. 3 Spacetime be transferred to?
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Tianyuan said leisurely, "Actually, besides these three timelines, there is also a No. 0 Spacetime, which can be considered the birthplace of the Mutual Aid Society."
Unlike the others who were confused, Elder Zhou immediately remembered.
He had indeed heard Zhang Tianyuan mention some things about "territory" before.
These words were all recorded verbatim.
However, out of respect and trust for Zhang Tianyuan, they voluntarily stopped speculating on these records after confirming the authenticity of the Mutual Aid Society.
Although there were still many questions, since Zhang Tianyuan hadn't told them, Elder Zhou and the others tacitly refrained from asking.
It seems the time has come.
Sun Deyi and the others felt a renewed sense of hope, looking at Zhang Tianyuan with expectant eyes.
"The world beyond No. 0 Spacetime is influenced by a currently unknown super-civilization. Its world rules are somewhat different from reality; many restrictions have been artificially added to it... In short, it's hard to say exactly what's going on. You'll understand once you get there."
"However, the environment there should be pleasant overall."
It has fields and land, islands and mountains, and there are no particularly big threats.
Sun Deyi and the others were completely confused by the first part of what was said, but they understood the second part.
This is a wonderful world!
He asked eagerly, "Can we all move there?"
Zhang Tianyuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you all want to relocate there, I don't object in principle."
Just as Sun Deyi and the others were overjoyed, Zhang Tianyuan immediately added a sentence:
"But... there are some things I need to make clear to you."
"As I just said, No. 0 Spacetime is heavily influenced by a super civilization, and it's even possible that they created that Dimension."
"That super-civilization established a rigid order in No. 0 Spacetime, which even the Mutual Aid Society can only passively abide by, trying their best not to attract their attention. But once you arrive, any major actions you take could very well disrupt this order, attracting the attention of that civilization, and might even implicate the Mutual Aid Society..."
That super civilization that created the Lord Game is now Zhang Tianyuan's biggest worry.
He had previously avoided engaging in any activity within the game world, even deliberately reducing the time he spent there, partly because he was worried about this.
However, constantly running away isn't a solution.
"Therefore, I suggest you explore No. 0 Spacetime first, and only proceed once you've confirmed it's safe."
Sun Deyi understood this time.
A civilization capable of creating time and space...
These words weighed heavily on his mind.
Even if they could push a planet around, they still wouldn't be a match for this kind of civilization.
"We need to have a private discussion." Sun Deyi looked apologetically at Zhang Tianyuan, and after seeing him nod, he took the initiative to lead the other nine people out of the meeting room to discuss the matter elsewhere.
Just ten minutes later, Sun Deyi returned with his men.
He said solemnly:
"President, after a brief discussion, we have decided to continue with the Wandering Earth Project. This Earth will always be our home."
Afterwards, we plan to arrange for those who are unfit for frontline work to relocate to No. 2 Spacetime for recuperation. At the same time, we will actively cooperate with the Chairman to explore No. 0 Spacetime and search for new hope.
