804 Industrial City

Previous Chapter

"Huh? What did you say? Is this what the imperial court means? Forehead! All right! ”

When I learned this, I was really speechless! At the same time, I also understood why a large army was stationed in the barracks outside the city when Crescent City was just completed. It turns out that the imperial court has long treated this place as an important strategic location! It's just that when I chose the site, I didn't go through the people from the Ministry of Industry, but chose a location close to the coal mine by myself.

Now that I have no free choice, the imperial court will instruct the Ministry of Industry to choose the address of the new city in a location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is surrounded by mountains on both sides. At the very least, it would be possible to build the city into a fortress-like building.

Anyway, when I listened to the Ministry of Industry, I didn't know how to do it, and suddenly I thought of a magical city called 'X Furnace Castle' in some games...... Why don't I change the blueprints again and make this place the way it looks like in the game? But in that case~ the amount of labor required is not the current amount. And ~ it's too difficult, you can't do it at all!

I deliberately brought Nie Xiaoqian, who had been protecting the two princesses, over to discuss for a long time, only to find out that even if all the people from their Lubanmen were dispatched, then if they wanted to complete the kind of city I said, it would take decades of hard work to do it. Maybe even a hundred years!

It seems that I really think too much, and I can't even draw the drawings!

Anyway, how could I have the delusional idea of building a game like 'X-Furnace Castle'!

"Wait a minute, could it be that my poisoning has deepened again?"

I'm starting to doubt myself. So I have to speed up the progress, and after choosing the address quickly, I will go back to the academy to find a miracle doctor to have a look......

Fortunately, there is not much controversy over the location. The surveyors from the imperial court and the Ministry of Industry felt that they only needed to be safe enough. What I like is its proximity to the coal mines, although it's not as convenient as Crescent City's chosen location. But after we build this city, why don't we build a special railway line directly to Crescent City? Although there is not enough steel to support the construction of the railway. But as long as the city is running, a large amount of steel will be smelted continuously. So I just need to reserve space for the railroad on the blueprint. Actually, I would love to install the sleepers under the rails in advance. After all, there are plenty of people now. However, considering that when the railway is actually built, the sleepers installed in advance will affect the construction. So I still gave up on the idea. Let's go back and wait for the new industrial city to be up and running, and when enough steel has been produced, hire someone to build the railway! Anyway, it's very close, so you don't need too many people.

Soon, I and the surveyors sent by the Ministry of Works agreed on the location of the new city. Now I only have to go to His Majesty the Emperor one more time and ask for a decree, and then the construction of a new city can begin. Now that the conscripts would have reached the time of conscription until after the expected time of the city's construction. It will even take a few more weeks to come out, and maybe the road from Crescent City to New Industrial City will also be built into a concrete road......

Fortunately, His Majesty is now attracted by the various projects in Crescent City. So I never left Crescent City. I quickly found the specific location of the emperor through Yuan Fang's news, and soon received the holy decree smoothly, and returned to Chang'an City with another accompanying general. In this case, if the edict and the emperor's official decree are issued at the same time, then the Ministry of Works should fully support me in building the new city.

When the time comes, after I transferred the building materials from the Ministry of Industry to the new address, I got Nie Xiaoqian, who had been protecting the princess, back and worked together to draw the drawings, and then I had almost nothing to do. By then, the craftsmen and people who had already built the two cities should be able to build the new city very smoothly and quickly. Then I can arrange for Nie Xiaoqian to supervise the work, and then I will take the opportunity to return to the academy to find a miracle doctor to check my body. I'm worried about whether I'm really poisoned this time. And I found that my brain hole is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more opportunities for my thoughts to deviate.

Soon, the Ministry of Works, which had received the decree, was in full swing, and had all the materials for the construction of a city, including all kinds of steel and concrete, pipes for water and sewerage, and wood for making windows and doors. Because the Ministry of Industry calculated the value of the two cities that could be built in a month, 'White Jade City' and 'Crescent City', as well as the materials consumed by the two cities. The entire Ministry of Works, as well as the imperial court, was very interested in this new method of building cities. Especially after the first city, White Jade City, and the city where it became a city where princes, nobles, court lords, and nobles lived and enjoyed. The smooth water supply and sewerage system and the neat and sturdy concrete streets all show everyone how comfortable this new city is.

In addition, there are various design drawings and construction techniques, and even most of the craftsmen are from the imperial court. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has been working day and night to make building materials everywhere. It seems that the Ministry of Industry is ready to build a city of its own and try out the new technology.

So what used to take a long time to prepare all the building materials is now enough to build two or three cities. I was only going to leave part of the way, and the Ministry of Engineering happily delivered enough materials to me. After all, in their eyes, as long as the materials and drawings are there, and most of those craftsmen are from the Ministry of Engineering, then building the city again this time is just giving them a new opportunity to learn.

After laboriously transferring all the building materials to the new address using warehouses and wooden kites, I was ready to start the construction of this new city with Nie Xiaoqian in charge.

It's just that I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to be interested in this matter as well. Therefore, a groundbreaking ceremony was specially held, and then His Majesty the Emperor himself was involved in the construction of the new city...... I really didn't expect the emperor to be interested in this matter?

hesitated for a long time about whether to accompany the emperor to build a new city here. I think it's my own physical safety that matters most. So after I completely handed over the hosting work to Nie Xiaoqian, I drove the wooden kite directly back to the academy.

Of course, this time, I also brought back the students and researchers. After all, it is not a short time to let these people carnival in Crescent City, and they can't delay their learning progress. This kind of entertainment has wasted a lot of time!

When I brought all the people from the academy back to the academy, I realized that they seemed to be partying for a while as if they were not just on vacation. Many students have even made a lot of money for this! Obviously, I have stipulated that those play booths set up by students can only charge a penny for each game. This kind of booth, which has to include the prizes in the cost, has allowed the students to earn enough copper money for ordinary people to live for several years! And those booths were still a collaboration of three students. Plus the stalls are taxed...... I didn't even know that Crescent City's ability to absorb gold was so amazing......

"Whew~ Fortunately, I brought all the students back, otherwise it would have been delayed for a month. Maybe these students will all fall into the eyes of money, and no longer want to be students but become businessmen! ”

It's just my worries. I didn't expect that this 'carnival' not only did not discourage the students' enthusiasm for learning, but even made most of them understand the new knowledge several times, and they also became more and more identified with this new knowledge that outsiders considered to be 'miscellaneous learning'. I really didn't expect that this time, which was supposed to give them a holiday, would have such an effect......

At the same time, after experiencing various entertainment facilities, those researchers actually began to study the principles of this, and then gave new inspiration to their previously troubled research work. After returning from Crescent City, these researchers not only actually built a large roller coaster model at the Academy, but even completed the improvement of the smelter...... I don't even know how they figured out how to improve the smelter from a whole bunch of playground equipment......

"What? I see! It turned out to be a problem with the pulley slide? "I looked at the blueprints for their new smelter improvements and got a rough idea of where these people got their inspiration. It turned out to be inspired by the steel infusion line from the track of a roller coaster, and also from various large-scale 'rotating flying chair' amusement projects. Oh yes! The researchers went so far as to come up with an additional machine called a 'centrifuge'. Anyway, I didn't even think of what this thing does! As a result, after this centrifuge was developed, even the miracle doctor was affected. After installing one in the miracle doctor's chemistry laboratory, many previously unexpected solutions were separated, and various new chemical reactions were also discovered by the miracle doctor...... Now the miracle doctor has changed from a traditional doctor to a qualified chemical researcher. Even brought out a whole hundred apprentices who were proficient in these chemical knowledge...... I guess I can leave the oil research to them now......

Also, the first thing I did when I returned to the academy was to go to the doctor to check my body. As a result, after the examination of the divine doctor, it was found that I had really been infected with this 'poison specifically for the inheritor' again! It's the kind of weird poison that will slowly fall out of my body.

Luckily, I didn't come to the doctor too late. In addition, after the divine doctor helped me detoxify for the first time, he also left a lot of antidote configuration materials. So soon the poison I had this time was cured by the miracle doctor. It's just that when detoxifying, the divine doctor found that the poison poisoned this time was not the same as last time. Because the toxicity of my poisoning this time is much lower than the toxicity of the first poisoning. After a closer look, I found a small wound on the back of my body, and I also found that the formula of this strange poison seemed to be simplified.

Actually, we were shocked to find a wound on my body. After all, every time I travel back to the mall, my physical condition recovers. So no matter what kind of injury, I can go through it and recover as before. As a result, I was worried that I had found a wound in my back, or a wound that hadn't gone away after I had tried to cross the mall a few times.

If you look at it this way, I have a weapon that can restrain my ability to recover! If this weapon, which wounded me, caused me serious or fatal wounds, wouldn't it be impossible for me to travel back and recover? Then I'm not invincible!

And from this wound, the divine doctor pulled out a half-cut poisonous needle that pierced into the body. Later, after discovering the strange poison from this half of the poison needle, I found the reason for how I was poisoned this time. It turned out to be a conspirator and inserted a poisonous needle in the back? And this poisonous needle will also prevent me from recovering?

In addition, the divine doctor also isolated this 'strange poison specifically for the inheritor' from this half of the poison needle. It's just that after isolating it, the divine doctor found that it was several less flavors of medicinal herbs than the toxin I had last time. Moreover, according to the ancient book found by the divine doctor, and the cooperative analysis of the other ten sects who stayed in the academy, they found that the poison this time turned out to be the original version of the poison when this poison first appeared in the late stage of the Ancient Jixia Academy. In other words, the poison I was poisoned this time and the poison I was poisoned the first time was not made by a group of people. After all, the formula is not the same, and the toxicity is not the same, and it is still the most original version of the highly toxic...... That means that now there is a new wave of enemies watching me, and even assassinating me?

At the same time, after the attack of this toxin, the poisoner's body will continue to drop various inheritance objects and various treasures stored in the body space of the poisoner. So this person who is plotting against me is actually moving around me? Otherwise, after the attack, if the inheritance thing is directly dropped, wouldn't it be cheaper for others? That's why this person who is plotting against me will be monitoring my state all the time......

Before I knew it, there was a new enemy in the dark, and in addition to being confused, I was in a cold sweat on my back! After all, the people who plotted against me this time are different, they can actually restrain my ability to recover, so if they secretly use other means to poison me, then wouldn't it be really dangerous for me to be tricked?

"No, I'll have to arrange all sorts of protections, oh yes! You have to remind the mandarin ducks and ducks to pay attention to the state next to them! "After muttering a word in my heart, I decided that in addition to wearing a 'stab-proof suit' on my body, I would take Xiaoyu or one of the mandarin ducks and ducks with me to protect my safety at all times! I won't do it until I find this secret enemy.

That being said, there are a lot of tasks I've assigned now! So I can't hide. We have to quickly settle the matter of the industrial city, and then make another plan!
