Chapter 95 Choosing a Route

The idea of ​​leaving Kyoto directly for the Northwest, aside from heading east, was immediately dismissed by Dong Qi.

Even if we manage to get there safely, going now would definitely mean being treated like a laborer.

After all, during this special period, the Great Xia Dynasty will mobilize its traditional skills, sacrifice personal interests, and concentrate its efforts on major tasks.

Although this method would definitely speed up the completion of large-scale projects, for Dong Qi, it would be a thankless and arduous task.

Therefore, even though he knew that the Northwest should be very safe in the short term, Dong Qi would rather face some danger than go to that area.

As for whether to embark directly on the return journey back to Pengcheng or the port city.

To be honest, Pengcheng had already suffered from Dong Qi's mischief once. Let alone causing him mischief again, Dong Qi couldn't get over it in his heart.

Even if Dong Qi is ruthless and heartless, and is prepared to wreak havoc again, he can't gather much material in Pengcheng unless he squeezes every last drop of resources out of the city.

As for returning to the port, based on what I encountered in Kyoto, the only acquaintances I knew there were Dong Hao, Captain Gao, and Wu Yifei.

Dong Hao and Captain Gao were frontline combatants. If they hadn't participated in the battle against the mutated marine creatures, their chances of survival would probably be very high by now.

However, if they are attacked by mutated marine creatures while on duty, their chances of survival are estimated to be almost zero.

As for Wu Yifei, who is a researcher, although he should not be in any danger at this time, given the current situation in the coastal area, the temporary research institute at the port, even if it is not shut down, will definitely be moved to the inland area.

Therefore, even if Dong Qi chooses to return to the port city, it is unlikely that he will run into any acquaintances when he arrives there.

Moreover, Dong Qi's real interest in the place was the ships docked at the pier and the metal materials stored in the shipyard.

However, these things should be considered important strategic resources at this time, and they certainly won't be left unattended like they were during the Gray Snow period.

Therefore, based on the available intelligence, the best option to obtain a large amount of resources at once is to cross the sea directly to the island nation.

Now that he has made his choice, Dong Qi needs to quickly procure a batch of supplies and resolve the issue of waste disposal inside the vehicle.

As Dong Qi cleared his mind of the jumbled thoughts, the alarm that had been ringing throughout Kyoto gradually stopped, and pedestrians on the street resumed their normal activities. It was as if the alarm had just been a drill.

When Dong Qi arrived at the home furnishing market, he discovered that the problem of urinating in his car that had been bothering him was actually quite easy to solve.

There are stand-alone toilets available on the market. They work on a similar principle to ancient chamber pots, but with enhanced sealing when the lid is closed and a disposable inner liner similar to a plastic bag. Apart from a slight odor when in use, they don't have any other significant drawbacks.

Although it can only be considered a temporary solution, at least I won't be as embarrassed as before when I need to use the toilet in the future.

Under the strange gaze of the shop assistant, Dong Qi bought all the disposable inner liner in the store's warehouse.

He then learned the location of a nearby wholesale market for daily necessities from the shop assistant and spent all the remaining cash in his bag.

At this point, apart from the rest area that had been specially separated earlier, the rest area in the rear compartment was already filled with various supplies.

Dong Qi's goal for this trip was very clear: to collect as many upgrade materials as possible before the supplies in the vehicle ran out, so as to upgrade the original level of his vehicle as quickly as possible.

The most basic goal of this trip to the island nation is to upgrade the chassis frame level to at least level 20, which is the basic requirement for the next upgrade of the main vehicle.

After purchasing all the necessary supplies, although the next goal had been set, there was still some hesitation about the route.

If we follow the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, Dong Qi only needs to go to the nearest port and then travel directly to the island nation by land and sea, as long as he doesn't deviate from the course.

If you choose this method of travel, you should not encounter any other unexpected situations along the way, except for the need to be wary of mutated marine life.

Now, thanks to the Universal Furnace and uranium rods, this sea voyage will not encounter the same energy shortage as last time.

Although he would only face one danger, Dong Qi couldn't help but feel a little fear when he thought of the giant marine creature he had seen at sea last time.

If you don't want to drift at sea for so long, Dong Qi can also choose the land route, although it is a bit roundabout and requires crossing the Korean Peninsula.

However, it can directly shorten the sea voyage by four-fifths, and it is estimated that it will only take a few hours to reach the island nation's port.

However, because it requires taking a detour and crossing the sticks, other unexpected situations are bound to occur on the way.

However, since it was on land, thanks to the defensive capabilities of his vehicle, even if he encountered some accidents, it would not pose any danger to Dong Qi.

Therefore, choosing to take a detour would only take more time. More importantly, Dong Qi could also collect some materials along the way while crossing the Korean side.

After all, although the area is not large, the shipyard there is ranked quite high in the world, so there should be a lot of upgrade materials stored in the shipyard warehouses there.

Moreover, there's a military base over there, which definitely contains military radar that's even more advanced than the vehicle-mounted radar installed in Dong Qi's car.

If previously, due to space constraints inside the vehicle, it was impossible to install large military radars...

Now, due to the upgrade of vehicle radar, even when encountering large radar systems, it is not necessary to install them in the vehicle; they can be used directly as upgrade materials.

Furthermore, since his vehicle only had an electromagnetic cannon at the time, Dong Qi was not entirely satisfied with it.

In Dong Qi's view, a vehicle should have at least four different types of weapons in order to easily deal with various battlefields.

Similar to an electromagnetic railgun, it is a sniper weapon capable of striking targets at extremely long ranges.

Similar to close-in weapon systems, this weapon has a high rate of fire and can quickly eliminate nearby enemies.

Similar to thermobaric weapons, these are weapons with wide-area destructive power.

Similar to a laser cannon, it is an energy attack method without a physical form.

Only by possessing these four attack methods can Dong Qi's signature vehicle be considered to have initially established its own attack system.
