393 Super Loop Operation Center

With the speed of his growth, it might only take Wu Mo 10 years to become a master blacksmith whom countless people admired.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath as she looked at the dead leaves on the road below.

“Keep it up, and don’t ever stop. White River’s prosperity depends on young people as strong as you.”

…

Twenty minutes later, the military vehicle carrying Wu Mo and Xu Wanqing moved onto a wider road.

The forks around the main road were surrounded by railings that acted as a cordon.

The city center, which used to be very lively, was now cold and quiet as if it was no man’s land.

Members of the Special Forces were piloting helicopters in the sky above to patrol the road conditions in advance.

“What a huge formation. Those city guards are too strong. They managed to evacuate the city center to the point that it’s become so deserted.”

Bald Eagle looked at the bleak scenery outside the window while he was in the passenger seat. He could not help but praise the guards.

“Ha, that’s for sure. After all, this is the annual conference. Even if they face an emergency, they have to make way for us.”

Lone Wolf smiled, revealing his white teeth.

“We’ve been on the road for so long. We should be near the Super Loop, right?”

Looking at the cars before them that maintained a fixed distance, Xu Wanqing frowned slightly and spoke with a worried expression.

“Don’t worry. With us around, it won’t matter who else comes along.”

To dispel her doubts, Lone Wolf immediately responded with confidence.

“About five more minutes.” Bald Eagle looked at the GPS software in the military vehicle.

“Ahem, about that…

“I want to know what this Super Loop you’re talking about is.”

Wu Mo, who was sitting in the back of the military vehicle, looked at the few people who had mentioned the Super Loop with a puzzled expression.

“What? Didn’t my father mention it to you yesterday?” Xu Wanqing was slightly surprised.

“He did… But I was too embarrassed to ask,” Wu Mo replied awkwardly.

“Mm, that’s not surprising.”

Lone Wolf, who was driving, immediately added another jab.

“Alright, since my father didn’t explain it clearly, then as his daughter, I’ll continue the explanation.”

Xu Wanqing was a little helpless when it came to Wu Mo’s limited information, but she still explained things for him.

” The Super Loop is a means of transportation that will help us reach the Red Heart province. After all, the White River province is nearly 9,000 kilometers away from the Red Heart province. If we take a train or plane, we might not even be able to make it in two or three days.

” Therefore, for convenience’s sake, the federal government negotiated with the other provinces to sign a contract and jointly fund the construction of the Super Loop.

At this moment, Xu Wanqing was like a little teacher who taught Wu Mo dutifully.

“The Super Loop City was built more than 30 years ago. Due to its fast speed and high safety, it has greatly reduced travel time for the two states. ”

“A journey of nine thousand kilometers will only take eight hours.”

Wu Mo listened attentively to her explanation and soon had a basic understanding of the Super Loop.

However, Xu Wanqing’s introduction of the Super Loop truly surprised him.

The express train would take four to five days to travel nearly 9,000 kilometers, and even a plane would not be that fast.

Yet, the so-called Super Loop could reduce the travel time to less than eight hours.

It was truly amazing.

However, what puzzled him was that if the Super Loop was so convenient, why was White River’s export economy so sluggish?

Of course, it was not information that he had deliberately looked up. It was a fact that every citizen of the White River province could see.

Although the White River province’s overall strength and natural resources were lower than that of the other regions, it also had rare specialties that other provinces lacked.

Shale gas, sealwort stone, and so on were resources that other provinces did not have.

Under normal circumstances, it was entirely possible to export a portion to other provinces.

However, the reality was, the proportion of White River economy in the annual financial report was less than 1%.

Even if anything was exported, it would only be food and daily necessities.

The things that Xu Wanqing introduced did not match what Wu Mo knew, hence he had doubts.

Curious, Wu Mo asked without hesitation, “If the Super Loop is really as you’ve described, then why doesn’t the White River province’s government make use of its convenience to transport specialties such as the Shale Yellow Jade Stone to other provinces to increase exports?”

Looking at Wu Mo’s curious expression and naivety, Xu Wanqing could not help but laugh.

“Hehe, it’s not that easy.”

” The construction of the Super Loop consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources from two provinces. The daily operation, loss, and maintenance don’t amount to small figures either. If it’s really open to the public for use, I’m afraid that the maintenance fees will become a black hole that cannot be filled.”

Hearing this, Bald Eagle immediately added, “Ms. Wanqing is right. It’s precisely because of the high maintenance cost that the Super Loop has always been used by military personnel, and it can only be used when there is an important event.

“For example, the Super Loop will only be activated when the generals from the theater of operations travel to other provinces for diplomacy, negotiations, or the annual exchange conference.”

Hearing their detailed explanations, Wu Mo finally understood.

Although he felt a little regretful that the Super Loop’s construction could not help the development of White River’s economy, its existence still held an extremely important strategic significance.

This would not only allow the forces of the Nine Provinces to be united and repel the powerful ferocious beasts together, but it would also help facilitate the diplomacy of the various regions in the Nine Provinces.

“We’ve arrived at the Super Loop Operation Center,” Lone Wolf suddenly said.

He had been sitting in the driver’s seat for a long time.

When Wu Mo heard what Lone Wolf said, he subconsciously looked out the window.

Cold wind was blowing outside, but there was also a spacious and flat square paved with gray tiles.

A series of buildings that looked like sand dunes with smooth surfaces were at its center.

It was the Super Loop Operation Center that Lone Wolf had mentioned.

From afar, the building gave everyone a sense of mystery as it resembled a sand dune.

Soon, the three military vehicles arrived at the operation center. The City Defense Army was responsible for escorting them, so the troops stood at the edge of the square and watched them from afar.

When the vehicles reached the building, Wu Mo was immediately amazed by its architectural style and size.

The operation center was made up of five buildings, and the style of each building was similar. The buildings were only about six meters tall, but they were very wide and had a large internal area.

Four of the sand dune buildings were located in the north, south, east, and west, vaguely protecting the fifth building at the center.

That was where the Super Loop was deployed and where everyone was about to go.
