We have a level system in place for mankind.

Raymond, a special adviser to the British Prime Minister, was preparing to go to the United States. Because the petroleum products are depleted, prepare a ride that is European.

It is a yacht that runs on solar-paneled solar power alone. Three soldiers and four sailors accompanied Raymond. Leaving England, the Solar Grace headed west across the Atlantic to Virginia, USA.

It was an order from the American Ambassador Rosen. Washington D.C. does not have an American government. Sometimes the ocean was too rough to make it, but we made it across the Atlantic to Virginia.

We docked in Norfolk, Virginia, and waited for the American flag on the boat to contact us. Two days later, a man named Mark Roland, who was used by the President of the United States, appeared.

"Nice to meet you, Mark Roland."

Raymond introduces himself and then talks about wanting a tour of the American food district. Roland nods and asks him to get in the car he came in. Raymond and three soldiers rode in.

"Is this car an electric car?"

"Yes, that's right. I can't get gas anymore."

"Even in the United States, is that so? But how does electricity generate electricity?”

“There was still coal-fired power around here.”

Raymond let out a sigh. Britain has completely destroyed its coal-fired power plants. Work is being done to make the stalled coal-fired power plant operational, but it is not progressing well.

I ran through the hinterland of Virginia and arrived in a town. It appears that there is a transport dome here. As Raymond stepped out of the car, men like American soldiers appeared.

I'll escort them to the transfer dome.

"Thank you. By the way, where is this place?"

Roland has a tough face.

“It's confidential.”

Raymond nodded with a bitter smile.

I'm sorry, that's right.

The alien beasts that are staring at us are not that strong. Arrive at the transfer dome as you defeat Lizard Man or Bad Rat.

The transfer dome was a set of unrestricted crystals that allowed anyone to travel to and from the food area. When Raymond and the soldiers transfer to the food area, Roland follows them.

Transferring to the Stone Circle in the Food Zone, Roland noticed that Raymond and his crew had seen a wall built around the Stone Circle.

"You seem to be keeping a close eye on it."

"Yes, the United States will never tolerate any incursions into food areas."

Outside the barrier, a path leads to the forest in the meadow.

Where can you guide me?

“It's a town called Underville. It's a big town with a population of about 300,000."

When Roland's car entered town, Raymond noticed that there were surprisingly many cars.

"Is this car also an electric car?"

“Yes, there are no internal combustion vehicles in the food area.”

When that happens, I'm curious about how you're generating electricity.

When Roland heard Raymond's words,

"We've built a nuclear power plant in the food area."

"Nuclear power generation... really?"

“It's true, it's been quite a struggle.”

"I guess so. I also planned to build a nuclear power plant in the UK, but I couldn't get the equipment and materials I needed.”

Even France, the nuclear power, seemed unable to build. Electronic parts and equipment could no longer be imported from overseas, so they gave up construction.

It seems that the town has a lot of two-story wooden buildings. The whole house is luxurious, so most of the residents seem to endure it in a multi-family house. However, it is said that it is fully equipped with water supply, sewage and electricity.

Americans here live the same life as on the mainland. However, there is no television, radio, or internet. Americans who are hungry for information are bringing tons of books and cartoons into the food area.

And now, it is said, preparations for cable TV are underway. Since there is a radio interference in this food area, items using radio waves cannot be used. It seemed that it was a cable TV.

What surprised Raymond was that the industry was beginning to take an interest in the food area. America was trying to build the chemical and electronics industries into food areas.

Cheap electronic components were produced in China and Asia, but all of them were made in food areas.

“What about groceries and medicines?”

"Because they can afford it." First of all, we are planning to start producing chemical products and electronic components to ensure that the quality of life of the people does not deteriorate. "

Raymond, who felt that the United States was trying to continue his former civilized life in the food area, thought that Britain would have to do the same.

Is Japan the same?

Roland tilts his head in response to Raymond's question.

"It seems that Japan is a little different. I am not trying to restore the original civilized society. It seems to be about to change."

“What is change?”

“Japan's food district has a legacy of indigenous people, and we're studying it.”

“Native Americans? Oh, the inhabitants of the ruins.”

There were also ruins in the European food area, and several scholars had begun to study them. But it looks like we're barely making it. Because most of the time, it is something that is studied by individuals.

“What will you be when you research something like that?”

"There are some scientific discoveries that have not been discovered on Earth. Oops, I think I talked too much."

It was Raymond who wanted to hear the details, but I couldn't get any more. After staying in Underville for a few days, Raymond sees the fruits of the Americans' efforts, and thinks they will if there isn't a civil war.

Raymond and the others crossed the Atlantic again and returned to England. And report back to Premier Prescott.

"I see, the United States has built a nuclear power plant in the food area... If the food area is discovered and moved quickly, so will we..."

There were many points of regret.

"But it's surprising that Japan is ahead of us."

“Why?”

“The Japanese government was famous for being slow to make decisions. I was expecting to die before I could decide anything. Japan also needs to be confirmed. Raymond, can I ask you something?"

Got it.
