After opening the warehouse panel, Jiang Chuan was surprised to find that there was a long queue at the door of the warehouse, a cart full of wood, an ox cart full of stones, and even many farmers with various materials in their arms waiting in line at the gate of the huge warehouse. Fastest updates

And this long line is clearly not moving.

Jiang Chuan was surprised and realized that this was because the storage capacity of the warehouse had reached its peak, so these materials could not be stored in it.

This often happened when playing the game in the past, and the goods collected by the lord's own territory, plus the tribute materials from the various colonies occupied, would quickly fill the warehouse. If these materials are not consumed in time, then the later materials cannot be stored in the warehouse.

The quickest way to consume them is, of course, to sell them in the market and then make room for subsequent supplies to be deposited.

This mentally retarded system is still the same as when he was in the game, he doesn't sell it himself, and he won't take the initiative to remind himself, it's really a waste.

Jiang Chuan scolded the system a few times in his heart, but the system did not respond, so he could only sell all the stone and wood stocks in the warehouse by himself.

On the trading panel of the market, the value of money is rising, the amount of wood and stone is rapidly decreasing, and the long queue outside the warehouse is finally starting to move.

When the trade stopped, the value of the money was fixed at 31,542, and the wood and stone in the warehouses were sold out, and even the goods on the carts and ox carts lined up at the gate were sold.

The raw materials are really worthless, and they are only more than 30,000 after selling so much. It seems that it is time to develop some high-level industries.

Jiang Chuan moved his gaze from the panel of the warehouse to the panel of the weapons depot, checked the production of weapons in the past two months, and found that there were currently 1,116 longbows in the arsenal, and there were only more than 30,000 arrows. The number of spears was somewhat larger, more than three thousand; The rest of the armor and swords, maces, halberds are practically not in stock.

Seeing this amount, Jiang Chuan also sighed helplessly.

The setting of the game Fortress was originally made according to the historical background of the European Middle Ages. Therefore, the production process of these weapon workshops is still very primitive. Take the bow and arrow workshop, for example, the entire process of making a bow from making to completion is done by a single craftsman. Even after the bow is made, you still need to make arrows, so it would be hellish if you could work so efficiently.

The process is the same for all other weapons.

And the amount that Jiang Chuan has seen so far is actually against the sky for the real world. You must know that in reality, it takes about two years for a bow to be made. The European single longbow was simpler, but the ancient Chinese compound bow was even more complicated.

It's just because the speed of time in the stronghold base is different from that in the real world. Basically, it can be understood that one day has passed in the real world, and ten days have passed in the fortress world, and the time flow ratio is one to ten.

That's why he was able to accumulate more than a thousand bows in more than two months.

Although this speed is already very unnatural, Jiang Chuan still feels that it is too slow. There is a need to find a way to change this work process, but the current reality is that although he can call on the various resources of the fortress base and arrange the number of craftsmen and farmers in various workshops, he cannot interfere with the operation of the base at the micro operation level.

All of his orders to the base now need to be done through the system, and he has no way to communicate directly with these craftsmen and farmers.

Therefore, it seems impossible to change the backward and primitive industrial process of the base and adopt a modern assembly line production method.

Thinking of this, Egawa woke up the system and asked, "When will this production efficiency be changed?" Can't you just adjust it? ”

After a while, the strange voice of the system said without emotion: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, the level of the base is still in the first-level castle era. It's impossible to be more productive at the current level. Only after the system upgrade will the production efficiency of both industry and agriculture be tripled. ”

Upgrade? Jiang Chuan's brow furrowed. When I played the game before, I didn't pay attention to the need for upgrades in the fortress?

"So, what are the conditions for the system to be upgraded?" Jiang Chuan asked again.

"The current base level is in the Castle Age, and in order to upgrade to a higher level of the Colonial Era, two conditions must be met: one is that the lord's reputation value reaches 100,000 points. Both are the amount of gold for the base to reach 100,000 units. These two conditions are indispensable. ”

So much? Jiang Chuan frowned and continued to ask: "After these two conditions are met, once the system starts to upgrade and complete, will these 100,000 reputation points and money be consumed?" ”

"That's right, Your Excellency." The system's old-fashioned voice replied.

This answer reminded Egawa of another real-time strategy game that he also loves to play: the Age of Empires series. This is the setting from Empire 1 to Empire 3, and each upgrade consumes a lot of resources.

Looks like his own fortress system has learned this damn setting as well.

100,000 money, 100,000 prestige points, how long does it take for Lao Tzu to save so many belongings, and he has to consume so much at one upgrade, and he doesn't have so much savings at present.

However, at the thought that the production efficiency would be tripled after the upgrade, Jiang Chuan had nothing to say.

This should also be a setting of the system to balance the real world.

And according to Jiang Chuan's experience, once the system is upgraded, in addition to the improvement of work efficiency, there should be some new units.

Colonial era? If you want to colonize the world, you must have a strong navy. Could it be said that the colonial era could produce warships and sailors?

Thinking of the warship, Jiang Chuan's heart was hot. You must know that the current strength of your troops on land can be said to be basically complete, and of course, this refers to the cold weapon class. At present, the only class of troops that he lacks is the Sailor.

According to the map provided by Liu Ji, it can be seen that the location of the three cities in southern Liaoning is fortunately inland. But the Manchu Shengjing was adjacent to the sea.

At that time, if you want to attack Shengjing, you only have land troops, and if the Manchu Qing has a naval division, you will really not be able to deal with it if you attack your own side from the sea.

Damn, it seems that the three cities of southern Liaoning must be taken as soon as possible, so that the captured materials and the reputation points obtained should be able to meet the conditions for system upgrades.

It is necessary to have a naval division of one's own as soon as possible, so that it can be attacked, retreated, and defended, so that it can advance and retreat freely and with ease.

After all, this is a continent with oceans on both sides, not a continent where most of the surrounding neighbors in my previous life were land countries.
