With President Lu Zhou leading the backbone of the Tianlin Chamber of Commerce to fight day and night, the limit of the brother city-states of West Night City was finally estimated, and if these cities were successfully established, the total population would reach an astonishing 60 million!

Against the backdrop of the total population of more than 30 billion people in the whole Federation, although the figure of 60 million seems relatively small, you must know that the total population of the largest city in the Federation, the Imperial Capital of the Federation, is only more than 26 million. Although the population of the Imperial Capital of the Federation will also rise to a certain extent in the future, the population size of the Brother City-State Project of the West Night City will also be one of the best in the urban pattern of the Federation in the future!

The reason why the entire West Night City was not built into a super megacity that could accommodate 60 million people was because the scale of the city walls was too large to facilitate the mobilization of defensive forces. And if one city is breached, the other cities can become temporary safe havens. After taking into account the ratio of the perimeter area of each city's walls, as well as the optimal proximity between the sister city-states, there are four satellite cities that defend the West Night City in addition to the main city.

These five cities, every three cities in any neighborhood, can form a corner of each other, and under the central dispatch of the main city West Night City, the overall defense can be described as monolithic. If necessary in the future, it is even possible to reconnect the four satellite cities on the periphery with city walls, so that the pattern of West Night City will become even bigger!

At that time, it is only necessary to slowly build supporting nuclear power plants and expand the water diversion project on the side of Qinglong State to other waters, so it will not be a problem to accommodate tens of millions of immigrants.

Such a form of joint city-state could theoretically even expand indefinitely. However, Cangchi can't let it be like this. Because as the population of West Night City grows, so does the cost of water and electricity. Especially in terms of water expenses, after all, the water resources that can be diverted near West Night City are limited, and if you want to continue to expand the scale of drainage, you must transfer water to other waters of the Qinglong Kingdom. The construction cost of such a water conservancy project, the medium-term operation and maintenance costs, is obviously to be evenly shared with the water and electricity bills of the immigrants in West Night City.

When the growth limit of West Night City is about to be reached, if the immigration form at that time is still good, Cangchi will only consider becoming the majority shareholder of other immigration cities at most. After all, the city wall can be expanded indefinitely, but the human resources that can be relied on in hand are limited. In the future, as long as Cangchi has the cash cow of West Night City, it will already be able to make money. For the last bit of soup and water in the immigrant economy, Cangchi will make money at most.

With the continuous advancement of the West Night City project, there is good news from the Federation again, in order to ensure the food of the immigrants in West Night City, the Federation will build six 5 million ton granaries near the main city of West Night City!

Such good news once again detonated the immigration boom in West Night City, and a large number of immigrants once again chose this barren land for the time being. A large amount of capital flows to Cangchi's company, Cangchi's construction speed has been raised to a higher level again, and because the recruitment and training plan for a large number of construction workers has gradually stepped on the right track, while the capital flow continues to pour in, a large number of fresh labor is also a large influx. The entire desert near West Night City has instantly become a land of hope!

Since the cities here are built for themselves, all the workers are extremely industrious, even the heat of the desert area cannot stop their enthusiasm. However, because the desert area was indeed too hot, Chairman Lu Zhou listened to the suggestions of the people below and actually erected a piece of Tianyang energy electric panels in the construction site. In addition to the effect of blocking the sun, the electricity generated by the electric board becomes the power supply of the refrigerator. In the desert, it's already blissful enough to be able to work in the shadows, and now you can eat cheap fruit smoothies, which is like heaven.

In addition, these Tianyang energy panels will not waste resources, and these panels will be connected to the molten salt power station in the future, becoming a continuous source of power for West Night City in the future. After the hot working environment was partially improved, the enthusiasm of the workers became higher, and the phenomenon of attrition due to heat stroke on the construction site was much better.

For something like a business model, as long as someone succeeds, there will be a large number of people following up immediately. On the borders of the Houtu States, the lands that have been reserved by the Follower Consortium are now also operating in the same way. The reason why the construction has only started now is that they don't know how to plan such a piece of land, and now the construction project of Cangchi's West Night City is on the right track, and these followers have also learned a lot of experience, and after they have the confidence, they have begun to build their own immigration city projects.

......

The Houtu states are busy building new immigration facilities, and the other four major states are also in chaos. As the summer progressed, the insect infestation, which had been quite severe, became even more serious. To describe it with a sigh from many people: I originally thought that the insect plague at the turn of spring and summer was serious enough, but I didn't know that this was just the beginning!

Indeed, the scale of today's insect plagues is indeed so frequent that people feel exhausted. Many people who immigrated to the country of Houtu first felt lucky: it was good to leave early, otherwise the house in their hometown would be even less valuable. Judging from the current situation, there are only two things that have happened in the entire Norton Free Federation this year, one is the insect plague and the other is immigration.

Due to the limited scale and speed of the construction of the wall in the Thick Soil State and other major cities of the Union, a large number of rural and small town residents had to plan slowly, even if they wanted to. Fortunately, many of the people who were in the privileged areas had moved to the Thick Land State or other large walled cities, and their original residences were empty. Selling is definitely not selling, but renting is feasible, a large number of people waiting for housing, have rented and relocated to these low-rent houses, in addition to avoiding disasters, more can further wait and see where they can be relocated.

It is precisely because of such step-by-step immigration that the pressure on federal immigrants has been greatly reduced, otherwise under such a serious insect plague this year, the middle and lower classes of the federation are likely to have big problems.

For the suffering of these ordinary federal citizens, Cangchi can't take care of it. He could only try his best to build the West Night City project, and also opened up some of the planning projects for the new urban area of Tianlin City, so that immigrants in Hezhou could have the nearest choice. Although such basic security issues may not bother Cangchi, under this general survival pressure, everyone has their own problems to face.

Tianlin City, where Cangchi is located, is part of the main grain-producing area of the Qinglong Kingdom, so the alienated insects that Cangchi has to face and deal with are also much more than some other martial arts forces. However, since the Decepticon Martial Arts Hall under Cang Chi was originally the No. 1 martial arts hall in the Federation, although this pressure was great, it was also acceptable.

However, the Qinglong Kingdom will only become more and more dangerous in the future, and due to the overall situation of the Federation now, Cang Chi decided to continue to accelerate their cultivation progress and began to gradually guide them to the path of body refining!

The reason why Cang Chi has only started teaching the method of refining the body so far is not because he doesn't want to teach it, firstly, because of the physical problems of human beings in the end of the world, and secondly, because of the lack of a basic atmosphere for cultivation in the end of the world.

The lack of atmosphere made it difficult for them to understand the concept of innate qi, let alone the various cultivation methods based on the foundation of innate qi. Not being able to understand is secondary, or the difficulty of understanding is secondary, and more importantly, when their physique is not up to par, forcibly teaching them relevant cultivation exercises will only cause a large number of students to make mistakes in the process of cultivation, causing their meridians to be damaged as a result.

Just understanding and cultivating the dangers can discourage these little budding people from the martial arts hall, let alone let them refine the innate qi in their bodies. But the key point of the problem is that if you want to refine your body with innate qi, the most critical step is to refine the innate qi in your body first!

If you want these little sprouts in the martial arts hall to embark on the path of body refining, you must first strengthen their physique, so that even if they make a mistake when they are familiar with the innate qi, the meridians they become strong will not be damaged too much.

Now the students in the martial arts hall are generally at the first level, and there are also people in the top echelon who are at the second level. At this time, the time was ripe, and first implement a set of qi cultivation methods among them to cultivate the innate qi control method. After the cultivation of this Qi Cultivation Method, not only can we give priority to selecting good seedlings that are very suitable for body refining, but also allow ordinary students to become familiar with the innate qi in the body as soon as possible, as well as the various meridians that operate the innate qi.

In this way, when their foundation is solid, they can select high-quality students from among them according to their talent and then teach the secret method of refining innate qi. In the end, only those who have successfully refined their innate qi will be qualified to refine their bodies.

Since Cangchi didn't have so much time to teach these students one by one, he summoned all the Lu father and son. With their help, it was relatively easy to teach the students how to practice the Innate Qi Cultivation Method.
