Chapter 56: The Rise of the New City
In Ash's old concept, most of the new large and medium-sized cities are gradually expanded from small villages. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that the people in power have the idea to start building a city, but that the people there need a city, and there are enough population gathering places to base it, so it is natural to form a city.
After all, unlike the densely populated earth, there are many wastelands in a magical world like Ash, and the city's first consideration is his safety and functionality.
After satisfying the most basic security and stability, the citizens' pursuit of life goals and means of livelihood naturally extends to the functionality of the city, or in other words, the characteristics of the city.
Port cities have developed step by step from small fishing villages because of the need for ports, and most of the commercial cities are located on the main transportation routes, while the cities in the border areas are often unusually militarized.
Relying on this concept, Ash has two mainstream approaches to urban planning.
One is a large-scale city built with multi-functional areas, which are all planned from living areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, administrative areas, etc., and are big cities to get started.
Such cities are generally super metropolises with huge investment, and most of them are the leading cities of the great lords and the national capital of the country.
The planning is complete, the functions are many, and it is also very convenient and comfortable to live in, and the urban layout is even more orderly and has obvious advantages.
The other, and most common, is to build a core area with a functional area (characteristic area) as the core, such as a bazaar in a commercial city, a port area in a port city, a mining/industrial area in an industrial city, and a cathedral/temple area in a religious city.
Only the residents of the core functional area cannot live, and in terms of layout, it is natural to supplement other areas, such as living areas, commercial areas, etc.
Of course, such a city is very chaotic in terms of layout and structure, and most of them are of this type, such as those that have been repeatedly demolished and rebuilt, the roads are narrow and insufficient, and the heavily polluted industrial areas are bordered by schools and private houses.
When the size of the city reaches a certain level, such a classification becomes meaningless, and the comprehensive large city will also develop many functional areas, and the functional city will also have various supporting areas, and in the end, it will only be slightly different in terms of layout trends.
However, in the early and middle period of the city, this difference in development ideas will affect a lot, and the city's brand and style will be laid during this period.
"........ our city, New Tonya City, is a functional city, and it is a functional city that is biased towards living and entertainment. After the completion of the first phase, more than 70% of the urban areas will be living and entertainment areas without defense. ”
In a sense, this is a complete violation of what Isoreen calls common sense.
In the chaotic and dangerous Anorain, most of the cities are built with fortresses as standards, and the pursuit of life enjoyment from the beginning makes people feel that the designer's skull is broken.
But this construction plan was decided from the beginning.
When the invisible ceiling was isolated from the bombardment of thunder and lightning, after the mage towers were sorted out, the energy absorbed was stored as a backup resource for the city, and a large number of engineering personnel, after completing the framework of the main urban area, immediately began to build residential buildings and entertainment facilities.
Because soon, the first residents will arrive.
It is more difficult to make the residents of primitive tribes become citizens of community planning than the transformation of urban districts and the construction of satellite cities.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome to everyone from the Eagle Tribe. ”
"Please register on the left floor of the city gate and receive a resident card, and bedding and meal vouchers will be issued on the spot. ”
The big slogan was erected at the city gate....... or where the city gate was expected, after all, the construction schedule is too full, and the city gate is still far behind, at least behind the city wall...... Yes, the city does not even have walls.
Rudimentary barbed wire and wooden fences outline the approximate location of the city, and large machines and mage towers dominate the sky, and warships rise and fall in them.
Their work is also very busy, now what they are grabbing is time, if they give those wasteland tribes enough time to communicate, the settlement agreement signed on the spot may become waste paper, and now they can't communicate and negotiate due to the thunder season, and they can catch as many new residents as they can.
"Ah, we're almost full, and if you don't come again, you won't have a house for you. ”
"High-rise bungalow...... You say you don't know what a high-rise building is? Well, it's a house like Horntown, and there's a little light and water for drinking at will. ”
The last time before the end of the thunder season is not only the golden period for pulling people (labor) to settle in, but also the last preparation period.
Yes, that's right, preparation period.
Clearly, the new gods from Ash were prepared for the worst.
After all, it is not enough to be friendly and talkative in Isolen to make people accept your existence, and the new forces will not be able to achieve balance and parity with the existing forces without experiencing something.
But that doesn't have much to do with Rorschach and the Game Church.
After the adjustment of the development strategy, Rorschach and his entourage have seen it very openly.
Originally, he might have traveled back and forth between Kakuro and the Holy Mountain to try to reach a reconciliation, or he would continue to try to track down the evil god in Kakuro and defuse this unstable time bomb as soon as possible.
Now, however, he has devoted his energy to the construction of the game church in the new city, the private communication with the Eagle tribe (deepening friendship), and the spread of game doctrine in Jiaocheng........ so it can be said that he has served the game church itself wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of ships that can operate in the Mineseason, the communication with the Eagle Tribe is somewhat passive....... but it has also strengthened the determination of the game church to form its own fleet.
In addition to waiting for the public boat to pick people up, that is, taking a tailwind boat to the holy mountain a few times, and then sending some fresh fruits, fresh meat materials and other condolences to the residents on the mountain peak, and then "accidentally" mentioned the vegetables, fruits, and meat markets that have taken shape in the new city, as well as the superior living conditions.
Of course, private transactions and communication have also achieved certain results.
At least now the Eagle Tribe is most familiar with Rorschach, the frequent descendant, and Rorschach has also talked privately with that Saliya and Elder Martha several times, but it is obviously impossible to convince these guys to bet on the game church now.
After hitting the wall a few times, Rorschach also learned to play haha, and the exchange also turned to exchanging information and strengthening "friendship", after all, even if they successfully settled in the new city, the eagles could not completely let go of the holy mountain, and they needed to find enough trusted allies in the new city, and this friendship and goodwill were likely to affect the final conclusion....... which is probably the so-called good fate, or to put it bluntly, business is not benevolent.
Of course, in a tribal society where the law of the jungle is still a clear social rule, it is not enough to be friendly and give away.
And as time goes by, the point of everyone's anticipation has also arrived - the end of the thunder season.
