Chapter 185 Transportation Network
Chapter 185? Transportation network
Crunch Squeak β
The screeching sound of rubber tires rubbing against the ground rang out.
"PhewβPhewβ"
This was followed by the shouting of a male voice and the roar of a giant beast.
On the edge of the fifth district, a dilapidated building more than 10 meters high collapsed in the middle of a bluestone-paved road, blocking the front of the road.
Three magic energy trucks dragging six-meter-long boxes suddenly stopped, and Xu Zhe's magic energy truck jumped off the compartment, first looking at the dilapidated building blocking the road, and then beckoning to the two rhino transport vehicles behind.
"Everyone come down, grab their tools, and get ready to clear the road!!"
Huang Da, who got off the magic energy truck at the front, reached out and patted the iron sheet of the carriage, and shouted loudly at the magic energy truck and monster transporter behind.
"This kind of project should develop a few large forklifts to do, and the progress is really slow to rely on manpower!"
After shouting a few times, Huang Da looked at the road blocked by boulders and dirt in front of him, let out a long sigh, and then turned to the rear carriage and shouted, "Sun Shuai, your Ministry of Industry should get some practical tools to come out." β
Three tall figures jumped from the back of a magic energy truck, led by a body half taller than ordinary people, with sharp claws and fangs, hideous and strong, and it made people feel pressure unconsciously. Behind him was a muscular figure that resembled the abomination of a certain game, and another relatively slender but bony appearance, still quite terrifying.
It seemed that he heard Huang Da's complaints, and the hideous figure led by him slowly spoke: "It's easy to say, the productivity of the Ministry of Industry is like that now, the kind of forklift used in engineering, there is no way to do it in a short time, and now it would be good to be able to get these vehicles for transporting people and soil." β
Seeing this tall black shadow walking in front of him, Huang Da shrunk his neck slightly, and unconsciously took a step back, "Big guy Sun Shuai, you are in this shape now, I really can't talk to you, I always feel that you want to slap me to death the next moment." β
After becoming Death's Wrath, there are fewer people who call him handsome, and most unfamiliar players stand in front of him and can't talk well.
However, Huang Da obviously did it on purpose, Sun Shuai didn't pay attention to the other party's ridicule, but glanced at Xu Zhe next to him, "The three of us go over and take a look first, this side is already close to the fifth city, and we know too little about the surrounding situation." β
"Be careful." Xu Zhe bowed his head slightly, "If there is a big guy, go back directly." β
"Don't worry." Sun Shuai's yellow and white bronze bell giant eyes lightly glanced at the players of the more than three hundred construction teams who got down from several transport trucks behind him, and grinned and showed Sensen's fangs, "You people are not as expensive as these cars and the tools inside." β
"Let's go!"
As he spoke, Sun Shuai beckoned to Tang Man and Wang Liao, who were following behind, "Let's go to the front and see, where did you two go last time, did you get here?" Probably not, this is already the fifth district......"
Xu Zhe looked at the backs of Sun Shuai with the two players with the potion mutation, and then turned to the many players who got off the vehicle behind him, and shouted loudly: "Ready to start, today's goal is to dredge this main road in the sixth city district, it is still the old rule, the division of labor and sections, the group that completes the task first will be rewarded with 300 magic crystal coins in addition to the basic salary, and the second place team will be rewarded with 100 magic crystal coins...... Come on, everyone! β
"Good!"
Shouts rang out from the crowd.
In small groups, each group of fifty people, a total of six groups of players began to unload various tools such as shovels, hoes, iron drills, and chains from one car to another. Then, according to the section of the project that they had demarcated, they started a hot cleanup.
The fifth and sixth districts are considered to be more severely damaged areas, with large areas of houses collapsing and various roads congested by debris, especially the impact of the previous Titan Behemoths, which made the buildings that were not much intact into ruins.
In the outer city wall of the fifth district, there is also a huge crack in the city, which makes the probability of giant monsters appearing in the fifth and sixth districts obviously higher than in the other districts.
"Boss Xu, your method is very useful."
Liu Chuanfeng, who had already pacified the rhinoceros transport vehicle in the rear, walked over locally, looking at the actions of the active players, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"It's not unusual." Xu Zhe smiled and waved his hand gently, "I heard a lot of people do this when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be practical and effective." β
Xu Zhe's construction team now has a stable number of players, basically maintaining around three hundred, and occasionally like the recent big project, it can break through to five hundred, accounting for one-sixth of the players in the entire Desperate City.
Most of the players actually come to him to work part-time to earn some magic crystal coins, and there are many people who come and go.
Xu Zhe was very worried about this at first, but gradually later, he figured out a way, that is, to stabilize some core players who were willing to work with him in construction, and then carry out the division of labor in each group.
It's a bit similar to the production team mode in the real world, but it doesn't have much of a constraint on the player. All he had to do now was control the leaders of the various groups, and then let them each go and recruit people to work.
At present, the effect is very good, players can do a lot of things in this world, fight monsters, mining, build houses, process materials, etc., but fighting monsters is easy to encounter powerful monsters, not necessarily beating, mining and going out of the city, and other processing materials, building houses, opening shops and the like all require capital.
Where does the capital come from, the easiest way is to come to the construction team to work for a few days, which is a very free choice for ordinary players.
"The current construction period is still relatively tight, and according to the requirements of the city lord, I need to open up a road in thirteen urban districts in this month."
Looking at the many players in front of him, who had already begun to clean up the rocks and dirt congested on the road, Xu Zhe frowned slightly, "The time for the outbreak of the demon tide mentioned before is almost up. β
Liu Chuanfeng leaned crookedly in front of a magic locomotive, and casually pointed to the rhinoceros wagon behind him, "Boss Xu, you can't get any big forklifts now, you didn't get some monsters from Wenner to come over to help develop it." β
"I asked Wenner." Xu Zhe shook his head slightly, "But there are some monsters on his side that have self-digested now, and many people want to have their own mounts, and they ......"
Xu Zhe paused, and glanced at Liu Chuanfeng's monster transport vehicle behind him, "You are his big customer, I don't have a high demand for monsters such as rhinoceros and bear bulls, but I am interested in those newly caught Titan monsters, that thing is strong enough, and I can use a few of them as forklifts." β
At present, the largest customer of Wenner's animal power department is the transportation department on Liu Chuanfeng's side, and has started to operate the monster bus shuttle bus five times a day to facilitate the communication of players in various urban areas.
Now the trajectory of the monster bus has been from the sixth district to the eleventh district, forming a circular route across five urban districts, with a distance of more than 50 kilometers, and with the opening of the road on Xu Zhe's side, it will continue to expand.
Liu Chuanfeng came over this time to follow Xu Zhe's construction team to inspect the situation in the fifth city by the way. The summoning circle in the sixth district is already underway, and his monster bus route will be extended to the fifth district next.
In this case, Liu Chuanfeng's public transportation department, the demand for all kinds of bears, bulls, rhinos, and other monsters is quite high, so that many players who "get rich first" have shifted their attention from bears, bulls, rhinos, and firebirds to large lizards similar to Komodo dragons in the choice of mounts.
In fact, at this stage, the work of Xu Zhe, including Xu Zhe, is mainly to sort out the traffic. After abandoning the rebuilding of the camp in the Seventh District, Meng Yang mainly tilted his direction towards opening up the transportation network of the entire city.
It's not just a matter of building roads before you get rich, it's about building a reliable transportation network that will allow players to move around smoothly in the future. This is not only convenient for defending against monsters, but also expands the player's familiarity with other unfamiliar towns and further exploits them.
Strategically, it can fully mobilize the numerical advantage of the players.
In Meng Yang's plan, in fact, the construction of a ring railway was initially considered, but due to the lack of steel storage and the fact that the railway track was vulnerable to damage by monsters, public transportation was placed on the monster transporter.
