After walking around the grassland and inspecting all the buildings, Li Zheng returned to his home, passed through the guò system, and fully understood the details of this functional integration.

The significance of the integration of system functions lies in the integration of supporting facilities into the system, the systematization of various facility functions, and the unification of the main functional options of the system.

This is great news for Li Zheng.

Let's take an analogy.

For example, the Beast Trainer. Originally, the beast taming field was only used by Li Zheng to imprison and domesticate all kinds of wild animals, and it was used as a backup for the synthesis function of the war riding hall, and it was completely managed by people.

But after the integration of functions, all the functions of the beast training ground were systematized.

After the domestication of the beast is systematized, as long as the person in charge follows the prompts of the system, he can domesticate the beast very lightly, and there is no need to abuse it by starvation, whipping and other means to make it submit, but to make the beast close to the spirit and thus domesticated. That's a lot smarter.

In addition to this, a culture function has been added. Provide the beasts in the beast taming field with the materials they need to cultivate, and you can cultivate the essence of these beasts to the peak of the current rank, laying a solid foundation for the synthesis of war horses!

Another example is a medicine field. This is a supporting facility affiliated with the Food Research Center. After the functional integration, the medicinal field can also be upgraded, so that it can cultivate herbs with better efficacy faster, laying the foundation for the food research center.

What surprised Li Zheng the most was that several buildings affiliated to the Jiafu Research Center were systematized, and their functions were completely beyond imagination!

The ore refining center, the metal processing center, the fur processing center, and the armor harness building center, these four small houses that were originally built only for future plans have now expanded nearly tenfold and become a workshop full of science fiction!

Seeing that these buildings have expanded a lot, Li Zheng found that the area of the grassland has not decreased, and even the pattern has not changed, as if the entire grassland has only grown out of a part!

It's amazing!

These buildings are very functional.

Pure metal can be obtained by placing the ore mined from the mountains into the refining center in accordance with the operating specifications and refining it in a system-generated refining furnace.

The metal is transported to the machining center, and the processing equipment generated by the system can be processed into various alloys according to the processing formula.

Put the alloy in the crafting center, and the system-generated crafting equipment can easily create various armor and harness according to the forging formula!

In addition, the finished fur processed by the fur processing center is placed in the production center, and various leather armor and harness are also created!

A complete assembly line factory, and a very sci-fi factory!

There's only one challenge, and that's the need for a recipe.

As with Warhorse Training, crafting armor requires the use of a recipe, unlike crafting Warhorses and Food, which are random. The recipe for training and forging armor is fixed.

There are only two sources of the formula.

One is to complete special tasks with random rewards. The other is the secret shop that has been opened after the system functions are integrated!

So far, Li Zheng has not completed any special tasks, so he does not have a formula in his hand. Now that the situation in the outside world has changed, the demand for armor is urgent, so it can only be purchased from the secret shop.

Click on the Mystery Shop, and eight icons appear in your mind.

A closer look reveals that four of the eight illustrations are recipe drawings. This made Li Zheng breathe a sigh of relief—he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy it—the goods in the mystery shop were randomly refreshed every month. Looking at the other four, it's amazing.

In addition to the recipe drawings, the remaining four illustrations are a mess.

The first is a pair of leather shoes.

It's useless!

The second one turned out to be a sword, Chixiao!

The legendary sword of Gaozu Liu Bang to kill the white snake, although I don't know if it is a copycat, it is also a good thing.

The third is a spear, called the Blood Dragon Lance. If you take a closer look, the whole body of this gun is dark red, the head of the gun is shiny, except for some ornaments on the barrel, it is not conspicuous. However, the gun seems to be made of metal throughout, which must be not lightweight, and it is very difficult to transport.

The last one is a piece of barbecue!

It's a bit ridiculous. A mysterious shop that also sells barbecue!

Shaking over these four products, Li Zheng looked intently at the four formula drawings.

The first one is the armor assembly party that Li Zheng urgently needs. Named First Order A Assembler Crafting Blueprint. Look at the list price below, and you will sweat in an instant.

It cost 10,000 gold!

Holding his breath and shifting his attention again, the second formula was a first-order alloy processing formula. The list price was 3,000 gold, which made Li Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.

The third drawing is a fur processing formula, and the price is the same as above, 3,000 gold.

Li Zheng knew that in order to complete the creation of the first-order armor, these three drawings were indispensable. Although it is expensive, I have to buy it even if I hold my breath.

Looking at the backpack, the current amount is more than 37,000, which seems to be a lot of money. But you must know that the synthesis of war horses and food is only a fast consumption!

One thousand gold each time, it only takes thirty-seven times to make Li Zheng a poor egg!

So for a period of time, Li Zheng forced himself to press and didn't touch these two functions. The bizarre war horses and the amazing variety of food are indeed attractive enough! Fortunately, his self-control is not bad, otherwise he would have been crying without tears now just looking at the mystery shop.

The consciousness touched three times in a row, and the three drawings were successfully purchased. According to the system prompt, the formula will be directly transmitted to the armor research center for automatic analysis and research, and after the analysis is completed, the supporting facilities attached to the armor research center will independently produce the first-order armor creation method.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Zheng focused his mind on the last drawing.

"Huh!"

Amaze.

This is a special terrain conversion drawing! Its function turned out to be for changing the terrain!

After a little thought, Li Zheng knew that the function of this drawing was indeed too powerful! Changing the terrain is, in layman's terms, turning mountains into flat land and grasslands into lakes!

In an instant, Li Zheng's heart was extremely hot.

hurriedly looked at the price, but Li Zheng was a little confused.

It turns out that meritorious service is needed!

What the hell?!

After regretting, Li Zheng had to abandon this coveted drawing and focus his consciousness on the four miscellaneous items.

Leather shoes and barbecue Li Zheng don't need it, but weapons are necessary.

Li Zheng usually practices guns, but he still uses the most simple wooden poles and iron guns with garbage goods, and he is fluttering in his hands, and he doesn't take advantage of them at all.

If you take this kind of garbage, if you go to the battlefield, you will have to be reimbursed in a few moments.

If there are no weapons on the battlefield, there is no way to live!

Looking at the price of the Blood Dragon Spear, it turned out to be two thousand gold, and Li Zheng couldn't help but hesitate. Although the drawings are expensive, they are long-term things, and they affect an army and a force, and it is acceptable to be more expensive. But a mere gun is worth 2,000 gold, this is simply a robbery!

Look at the Chixiao Sword next to it, it turned out to be two thousand gold!

Li Zheng pondered for a moment, but still resolutely bought these two weapons.

He believes that the system must be a high-quality product!

Consciousness withdrew from his mind, Li Zheng opened his eyes, and saw a shot and a sword suddenly appearing on the side. The blood dragon spear is about one zhang and two feet long, weighs about fifty catties, and the head of the spear is more than a foot long, with two blood grooves on it, and it is sharp and bright, and it is a killing weapon.

I picked it up and waved it twice, but I found that this spear, which seemed to be made entirely of metal, was actually very elastic, and it was not much worse than the good ash pole above.

The Chixiao sword weighs more than ten pounds, with a simple scabbard and dense lines. He pulled out his sword with a bang, and a cold light flashed in front of him. Take a closer look, the sword body is blue, like a pool of spring water, and a chill instantly wells up in my heart.

Putting down the weapon, Li Zheng was happy and a little regretful at the same time.

The prerequisites for crafting a first-order armor have been fully satisfied, and after the analysis is completed, the forging can be used to equip the warhorse. And Li Zheng's own weapons are also in place. However, in the Secret Shop, there is no recipe for cultivating War Horses.

If you buy the war horse culture formula, after analysis, you can make zuò out of the culture liquid. In such a short period of time, the comprehensive attributes of the Qingjia War Horse can also be raised

More and more displaced people have been recruited one after another, which has increased the burden on the pasture, but also brought a large number of laborers to the pasture.

Soon, the total number of soldiers of 300 men was full.

At this point, there is only one condition left to restrict the development of the grassland armed forces, armor.

When the preconditions are met, all that remains is the material – fur and ore.

Fur is easier to solve, but mining ore is much more difficult.

So in the following days, Li Zheng's busy center was transferred from the grassland.

In this branch of Helan Mountain, on which the grassland rests, there are not no mineral veins. Craftsmen with experience in this area in the pastures have discovered the existence of several veins as early as years ago.

There are two iron mines, one copper mine, two coal mines, and small-scale enrichment of minerals such as tin and lead.

However, these deposits are located deep in the mountains, which is not only inconvenient to mine, but also difficult to transport.

Li Zheng has no better way to do this.

If you can buy that terrain conversion blueprint in the Mystery Shop, you can solve this problem with just one thought. But that thing needs merit, Li Zheng doesn't understand, and he doesn't have it.

Now the only way is to build roads.

Only by building a road to the deep mountain mineral deposits can the problem of transportation difficulties be solved.

But there was no gunpowder in this era, and Li Zheng didn't want to make gunpowder, so he had to use manpower completely. And some precipitous places can only be bypassed.

This greatly increases the amount of work - there are too few places in the mountains that do not need to be detoured!

Fortunately, there is now enough labor in the pasture, and in addition to the manpower needed to maintain the basic operation of the pasture, at least 500 people can be pulled up to build the road.

Even then, after calculations, it would take at least two months to build a rudimentary dirt road.

No way, just grit your teeth.

Road construction and mining are carried out at the same time, and the two-pronged approach is carried out.

As the ore was mined, transported to the pasture, and put into refining, Li Zheng asked Zhao Wu to prepare for the rough processing of the fur by hand, and for a few days, he was busy with his feet not touching the ground.

For a while, Li Zheng felt as if he had to do everything by himself.

After thinking about it in the evening, I found that the various functions of the grassland were already a little chaotic.

The rough structure of the previous can be easily sorted out when the number of people is small. But as the number of displaced people moved in one after another, and as the population exceeded 2,000 and the job classification became more diverse, this structure became obsolete. If there are characters like Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang to assist, Li Zheng doesn't have to worry about it, but unfortunately Zhao Wu's ability is far from it.

It's time to formally establish a grassland management system!
