Chapter 409 - 279: The Moment of the Shining Stars (Two in One)_3
"But there are some things that resources alone can’t change..."
Rod lay lazily in Molly’s soft embrace, feeling her smooth, round legs, as if all the fatigue of the day had vanished.
"Like what?"
"The Underground City has crammed in over three hundred thousand people, but it was originally designed as a base for combatants, without considering ordinary people. The people at the lowest levels need to climb more than two hundred flights of stairs to reach the surface. Some women and children can’t make it up in a whole day, and the congestion is causing us a lot of trouble."
It didn’t take long for Rod’s mind to turn and come up with a solution.
"Don’t we have the Spiritual Energy Giant Crossbow? Once Spiritual Energy is input, it automatically tightens the crossbow string... We could modify it by extending the string and hanging a box below; once it’s powered by Spiritual Energy, we could pull the box up to the surface."
Rod briefly explained his concept of the Spiritual Energy elevator; it was no different from elevators in the original world, except that its power source had been replaced with Spiritual Energy.
And the Underground City, being a cylindrical pit, is perfect for building a row of elevators along its circular walls—won’t that solve the problem?
Molly quickly understood what he meant.
To be fair, the plan wasn’t complicated, the hard part was the thought process; no one had ever thought in this direction before.
This problem had plagued them for over ten days, yet he solved it in just a few seconds.
