Chapter 40: Building Roads
Four days passed quickly, and the first elite shooters were trained.

"The basic attributes of the elite shooter are slightly worse than the elite shooter instructor, but the skills are the same, which is already very good!" Meng Chen muttered to himself.
Then, Meng Chen sent the swordsman instructors who had been trained to the academy for promotion training.
The promotion training of swordsman instructors also takes five days.
After leaving the academy, Meng Chen checked the attributes of the City of Hope through the light curtain in his mind.

。。。。。。
At this time, two and a half months have passed since the founding of the city, and the total population of the City of Hope has reached 740 people, including 200 farmers, 50 lumberjacks, 80 quarrymen, 80 coachmen, 50 miners, 110 swordsmen, 95 marksmen, 4 swordsman instructors, 4 marksman instructors, 10 elite marksmen, 1 elite archer instructor, 10 tailors, 10 blacksmiths, 6 carpenters, 6 leathermen, 4 cooks, 4 butchers, 10 tomb keepers, 2 scholars, and 2 doctors.
"There are ten quarries in the northern part of the basin, and a total of 500 quarrymen are needed. Today, there are only 80 quarrymen in the City of Hope, which is far from enough. And the number of coachmen must also increase, otherwise the capacity will not be able to keep up, and the temporary warehouse of the quarry will soon burst out. The transportation efficiency of the coachman is too low! Meng Chen muttered.
Suddenly, Meng Chen's heart moved, and he thought of Huaguo's words - if you want to get rich, build roads first!
As long as the road from the warehouse to the quarry is built, not only can the driver speed up the delivery, but even the volume of a single delivery can be greatly increased.
Thinking of this, Meng Chen immediately walked towards the library.
Inside the library, two scholars bowed to Meng Chen and said, "Welcome, Lord Lord!" ”
Meng Chen spoke: "I came to the library this time to ask about something. Now the transportation efficiency of the drivers is too low, can you improve the current trolleys? For example, increase the volume of the trolley bed and increase the single delivery volume of the coachman. ”
One of the scholars immediately said, "My lord, it's easy to increase the volume of the trolley's cargo case, but there is no point in doing so. Because the strength of the coachman is constant, and in a dense forest, the volume of five hundred kilograms is already the limit! ”
Meng Chen waved his hand and said, "I plan to build a stone road to connect the quarry and the warehouse. ”
After discussing a few words with each other, the two scholars nodded and said, "Lord Lord, wise! As long as this stone road is completed, the single transportation capacity of the coachman can be increased to 1,000 kilograms. ”
"You immediately improve the trolley, increase the volume of the trolley's cargo bed, and I will build this stone road as soon as possible."
"Yes! Your Lord! The two scholars bowed in response.
At this time, a message popped up in the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "Gold Coins-30, improve the warehouse trolley begins!" After 24 hours, the improvement is complete! ”
Some time ago, through frequent contact with two scholars, Meng Chen basically figured out the improved functions of the library.
The library's improvements cannot be improved indefinitely, but must be based on the current "tech tree".
To put it simply, you must have a workable theory, or design drawings, or physical objects, for the library to be able to improve its functions.
Moreover, the improvement is not as advanced as possible, otherwise it is likely that the improvement will be successful, but there will be no suitable manufacturing materials, or the skill level of the craftsman will not be enough to make the finished product.
After leaving the library, Meng Chen went to the town hall, opened the holographic map and detection map of the True Eye, and began to plan the route of this stone path.
Due to the dense jungle and complex terrain around the city, the choice of route is very crucial.
"There's a big pothole here, the drop is too big, and you have to take a detour! There are too many trees here, the amount of work to cut down is too large, and you have to take a detour! There's a mountain pack here, it's too high and you have to take a detour! ”
After three hours of mapping, Meng Chen finally planned a relatively suitable route.
The straight-line distance from the quarry to the warehouse is no more than 3 kilometers, and the stone road planned by Meng Chen is 3.6 kilometers long.
Through the light curtain in his mind, Meng Chen learned that the construction of this three-meter-wide stone road required 3,000 units of stone (gray) and 1,000 gold coins.
Stone is not a problem, there are currently more than 5,000 cubic stones in the warehouse.
As for the gold coins, it goes without saying.
Two days' earnings from the mining farm were enough to build the stone road.
However, before building the stone road, Meng Chen had to clear more than a hundred large trees along the way.
At this time, it was just after noon, Meng Chen gathered all the lumberjacks together, built a route along the planned stone path, and cut down all the big trees that blocked the way.
Since there are only two steps, cutting down and moving, the progress of felling is very fast.
Early the next morning, the scholar came to the city hall and handed a scroll of animal skin drawings to Meng Chen, "Lord Lord, this is the blueprint of the new-style warehouse trolley. Please take a look! ”
Meng Chen took the drawings, looked at them carefully, and said with a smile: "Very good, thank you for your hard work!" ”
"It's an honor to serve your lord!"
After the scholar left, Meng Chen immediately sent the drawings to the carpenter's shop and the blacksmith's shop, ordering them to make one hundred and fifty new carts as soon as possible.
Note: The body of the trolley is a wooden structure, and the wheels are made of iron.
Three hours later, Meng Chen received a report from the lumberjack that all the big trees on the stone path had been cleared.
Meng Chen immediately passed through the light curtain in his mind and gave the order to build a stone road.
"Gold - 1000, Stone (Gray) - 3000, start building the road (1st tier)! After 240 hours, the construction was completed! ”
