After half a month at sea, the Circle Cruise returned to Harbour City.

As for the harvest of this trip, it is about the uninhabited island and the mood of complete relaxation.

And, of course, the group of mermaids who live at the bottom of the sea...... Tianming pretended to be a magic stick to fool around, and then carved a suitable territory for those mermaids to survive, hunted some food, and made a batch of weapons for them, which naturally received excellent results.

The mermaids all regarded Tianming as the god who saved them, and erected his idol in the center of the city, praying and kneeling in front of the statue every day according to the instructions of the new queen Sophia.

Tianming found that only three days had passed, and more than a hundred mermaids had become his faithful followers, contributing to the power of their faith.

"Although the number of these mermaids is small, the sea is infinitely vast, and in the future, I can try to cultivate those mermaids, impart some knowledge and cultivation methods to them, and let them dominate the ocean...... In this way, in the future, I will not only be the God King of the land, but also the God King of the Sea. ”

Harbour City is a city near the sea, and after several years of development, it now has a population of about 500,000 and a relatively developed shipbuilding industry.

Of course, the most developed part of Harbour City is the fishing industry, with thousands of tons of fresh fish and seafood being transported to Guangming City or Future City every day for consumption by consumers in inland areas.

This is a little strange, the harbor city is separated from the inland Guangming City, more than 3,000 kilometers away, how to ensure that the "fresh seafood" is transported to the Guangming City?

The Gate of Space, a gate of space connecting the City of Light and the Harbour City, communicates the two cities.

The Blue Star mermaid merchant carrying the goods, as long as ten steps, can take the fresh sea fish to the City of Light.

One of the questions that arises from this unprecedented mode of transportation is: is there still a need for long-distance transportation facilities?

For example, the Bright Continent is from the easternmost point to the westernmost point. The farthest straight-line distance is more than 9,000 kilometers, and the farthest straight-line distance from the southernmost point to the northernmost point is more than 6,000 kilometers...... If we want to establish a land transportation network and ensure the smooth flow of traffic on the whole continent, at least seven or eight ultra-long maglev railways criss-cross and form traffic arteries like blood vessels.

However, the storage of space gates greatly reduces the necessity of these traffic arteries, because for space gates, a straight-line distance of 10,000 kilometers is only equivalent to a space passage of about 13 meters.

There is a door to space. Is it necessary to invest in the construction of those transportation facilities?

Not to mention, there is also work such as occupying land, building bridges, and digging tunnels, which is a small matter of damaging the environment, and if you run into a nail household or something, don't even think about building that road.

The space gate can be said to perfectly solve all the problems of building long-distance transportation facilities, and it also saves a lot of transportation costs.

In the future, what is the best mode of transportation for Blue Mercury?

The Gate of Space. The first choice is the door of space, which is the choice that a fool would make.

However, there are still some troubles in building the Space Gate, and the materials to be used must be special materials that are easy to attach runes, such as crystals, gems, and so on. Among them, the crystal in the crystal river in the small space has the best effect.

But those materials are more valuable...... Even if Tianming could make it, it would take up his time.

Not to mention the use of the four-dimensional space and channel runes he created.

Moreover, the value of the space gate is too high, according to the words of Lin Mo, the commander of the third starfleet of the empire: "If the space gate is used for the empire to develop colonization abroad, we are confident that we will be able to get out of this galaxy in a relatively short period of time." Quickly complete missions to colonize other galaxies! ”

And it would be a waste to use the precious space gate on one planet.

But Tianming has his own ideas.

"Blue Mercury is the planet I want to start developing in the future, and the more convenient the transportation requirements, the better. Save valuable time. ”

"And Guangming City and Future City are both at the core of the Guangming Continent, and they are also the ruling center, so it is very necessary to control the power of remote areas."

"Therefore, in the newly built cities in the future, whether it is a city dominated by Blue Star people or a city dominated by earthlings, as long as the distance between Guangming City and Future City is more than 3,000 kilometers, it is necessary to use these two central cities as the core to build a door of space."

"As for the cities that are relatively close, a large number of maglev railways or maglev roads can be built, and on the magnetic track, 500 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers, it only takes one or two hours to reach."

"In this way, in the field of transportation, the planet can be said to be highly developed."

……

Harbour City, Downtown Square.

In addition to the eighteen-meter-high statue of the god king, the most eye-catching thing here is the spatial gate of the black hole with a diameter of ten meters on the stone platform in the center.

"His Majesty the God King xià ......"

"Meet His Majesty the God King!"

A large number of Blue Star people who were busy carrying fresh sea fish, after seeing a team of people in gorgeous costumes coming, they remembered a few exclamations, and then quickly put down the fish box in their hands and knelt together.

When several of the guards guarding the Gate of Space saw His Majesty the God King coming, they immediately pushed aside the few fish merchants who were preparing to pass through the Gate of Space, and said with some trepidation: "Your Majesty the God King, there is water on the ground here, it's a little dirty, let's go over after we wipe it clean." ”

Because hundreds of thousands of tons of fresh fish are transported to Guangming City and Future City every day, there are often a large number of water stains near the Space Gate, and there is a strong fishy smell......

This kind of environment is just like what these guards and those fish merchants are accustomed to, but with the noble body of His Majesty the God King and His Royal Highness the God Queen, how can they not frown?

Honest and fearful, not only the guards, but also those fish merchants, are sincerely afraid.

"It's okay, I'm just passing through here, you guys go ahead and get busy with your business."

Tianming comforted him, and then took Meng Xinyi's hand, and together with the dozens of followers, he opened the door of space.

After walking seven or eight steps, he arrived at Guangming City, which caused a sincere reaction from the Blue Star people.

Arrived at the maglev train station, got on a maglev train, drove north on the elevated magnetic track for less than an hour, and came to the future city 500 kilometers away.

Looking at the huge city outside the car window, an attendant sitting opposite Tianming smiled and said, "Your Majesty." The current Future City is almost full, and although there is still room for the city, it will still make the core area of the city more crowded when it is developed. Moreover, even with a three-dimensional transportation network, traffic congestion has occasionally occurred in recent years, especially the parking spaces for hovering cars are obviously insufficient......"

"A comfortable modern city has an optimal population of around 5 million, and the population of Future City today exceeds 5.5 million...... In order to alleviate congestion, our Ministry of Urban Construction. 300 kilometers west of the Future City, 200,000 construction workers and 500,000 smart machine workers were invested, and it took a year and a half to build a city similar to the Future City - Anyun City. ”

"It's just that after Anyun City was built, it entered the immigration stage, but not many citizens were willing to move to Anyun City to live, because everyone was used to living in the future city and didn't want to move to another city...... It's a headache. ”

This entourage is named Tanaka Kazu, the chief designer and planner of Anyun City. Now that the city he planned has finally moved from paper to reality, it is natural that a group of residents will live in the city he designed...... Just as a toy designer designs a toy that others want to enjoy, Kazuya Tanaka wants someone to give a review of the city he designs.

Actually, in the Empire. There are many smart people like Tanaka, and they are very thoughtful, some of them have designed completely new means of transportation, and some of them have invented things that have never been invented before. There are also people who are full of artistic cells who are full of inspiration and have created a new music ...... All kinds of new ideas and technologies have sprung up, and all kinds of geniuses are like stars in the sky. Numerous.

But there are too many geniuses, and the stage that belongs to them is not enough.

Blue Mercury has a total of more than 20 million Blue Star people and more than 5 million Earth humans, there is simply not enough stage for them to perform, and some people invent things that are too advanced and have no market for promotion...... However, there are quite a few geniuses who have been warmly welcomed by the Blue Star people.

But overall, the market of Blue Mercury is still not enough.

Tianming said to Tanaka Kazu: "I am not in charge of immigration, you should find Prime Minister He Xi, he is the head of internal affairs...... Of course, after Anyun City is built, it will definitely need a group of people to live there, I will say hello to He Xi and ask him to help you think of a way. ”

In terms of imperial governance, in addition to paying more attention to army building, Tianming is basically handed over to others to deal with internal affairs, one is not energetic to manage, and the other is to delegate power. Officials are unlikely to be able to get to work.

So this bit of proportion, Tianming still knows.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tanaka Kazuzu smiled and saluted slightly.

The maglev train stopped, and some greetings were waiting in the station, and the future city arrived.

……

Golden Palace.

After returning home, Xiaolong Xiaofeng and the others ran over and complained about Tianming, going out to play for so long, and not taking them with them...... Tianming took out a large number of various gifts from the ability space that he collected along the way, such as beautiful conch, colorful sea sand, and strange ores...... That's how these little ones were sent away.

As for Lan Luo, who was sent away with vinegar, a little thing couldn't be dismissed, and Tianming had to offer to compensate for taking her out to play alone for a month next time, which was let go by her with a sentence of "It's about the same".

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister He Xi asks to see you." After learning that His Majesty had returned, one of the guards reported to Tianmingtong.

He Xi...... He was going to see me as soon as I came back, so I guess there was something more important.

Thinking of this, Tianming said, "Let him come over." ”

……

The House of Parliament.

Prime Minister He Xi, who was dressed in an imperial tunic, with a golden brooch symbolizing power pinned to his chest, walked in with a copy of Wen Jiàn in his hand.

Walking into the splendid council hall and seeing Tianming, He Xi first bowed seventy degrees, and said to Tianming: "Your Majesty, the red giant star is about to be transformed, and the liaison officer from country H sent a request to deal with the arrangement of the red giant star after the transformation is completed." ”
