Chapter Fifty-Nine: City Defense!

Yi Xiaoge and Bugg discussed the issue of no island defense, and Bugg put forward a very heartwarming suggestion by Yi Xiaoge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He proposed that the royal cannon with the city wall has a very strong defensive power, and the wall of the Imperial City of the Heart of the World is more than ten meters high, and it is extremely difficult for the outside world to break through.

Of course, there is no island that does not have such construction conditions, but it is possible to build a five-meter-high wall along the coastline, and arrange cannons on the walls to increase the range of the cannons and provide cover for the cannons. It can also block the enemy's attack, avoiding a long drive like Yang Ting who can go straight as soon as he lands on the shore.

"It's a very attractive proposal, but isn't the project too big? The entire coastline is nearly 21 kilometers long. There are no natural dangers and cliffs, all of them are flat, and they must all be built. When will this have to be built? Yi Xiaoge suddenly thought of such a pit question.

"This was not something that could be built overnight, and it took decades to build the Imperial City of the Heart of the World to get to where it is today, and we started building it in the direction of the fishing grounds, which are the most vulnerable areas. The five-meter-high wall could be completed in a day with all the work of the islanders and savages, and it would only take a few months to complete! ”

Yi Xiaoge calculated, it would take nearly a month to calculate according to the natural day, but once it was built, the defense capability of the island would be greatly improved. Just as Yi Xiaoge was about to prepare for the construction, Bugg handed over the project cost budget table, and the row of zeros on it almost made Yi Xiaoge cry.

According to Bugue's standards, the walls were built with stone and steel frames, and then poured with mortar. The cost of each meter is 20 gold coins, and 21 kilometers need 420,000 gold coins, which is more than 200 million yuan when converted into RMB...... More than 200 million!

"Is there a cheaper way to build it?"

"This is already the cheapest, do you want to build it out of wood?"

Once the city wall is built, it will cost 16,000 gold coins per natural day, and he can earn 4,500 gold coins a day from the Chamber of Commerce, 9,000 gold coins from the royal cannon, and about 3,000 gold coins from agarwood. It adds up to enough to cover the construction costs. He thought about it for a while and finally decided to build, which is a project that will benefit immensely, and the sooner it is built, the more beneficial it will be.

The next day, under the command of Bug and several architects, thousands of islanders began to dig a foundation six meters wide and two meters deep into the ground, then used a trapezoidal iron frame made by several blacksmiths day and night as a base, poured stones and mortar into it, and finally piled it up layer by layer. In the end, a trapezoidal wall with a width of six meters at the bottom and four meters at the top was formed. Thousands of islanders can only build a 100-meter-long project day and night, which shows the heavy amount of work.

When the construction of the 100-meter city wall on the first night was completed, a system prompt made Yi Xiaoge particularly excited.

"Ding! Congratulations on your efforts to transform the island and gain +1000 Prosperity. ”

The increase in the prosperity of a large amount made Yi Xiaoge feel that it was worth investing so much, not only that, but the upgrade progress was greatly accelerated because of the construction of the city wall. According to this calculation, the 15,000 prosperity level upgraded to level 9 can be completed in only two natural days!

The city wall was under intense construction, and Bugg found Yi Xiaoge again, and he proposed to set up a fort every 100 meters and a city gate every 100 meters. A staircase was built behind the forts to make it easy to get up and down, and a warehouse and a barracks for ten people were built at the same time for each fort. In this way, the walls can be guarded 24 hours a day to avoid enemy raids.

Yi Xiaoge agreed to the plan, but this increased the construction cost by 1,000 gold coins per 100 meters, and the time was also extended. There are still tens of thousands of gold coins in reserve before Yi Xiaoge, so don't worry about the funds for the time being.

A few days later, when Xiao Canghai came to the island, he was shocked by Yi Xiaoge's already hundreds of meters long city wall.

"Brother, it's really a big deal, how much does it cost to build!" Xiao Canghai said enviously, the role of the city wall is needless to say, as an island owner who has been attacked by pirates, Xiao Canghai realized at first glance that this may be the best way to defend against pirates at the moment. With the cover of the city walls, the casualties in the event of a pirate attack are much smaller.

"This is also forced, in order to keep this affiliated island, I have to defend it even if I am bankrupt!"

Xiao Canghai looked at the city wall under construction and whispered: "I don't know how much the cost of this city wall is, look at the iron pedestal, it's really a big investment!" ”

Of course, Yi Xiaoge wouldn't tell him the real cost, he said indifferently: "It's not expensive, it's only about 1 gold per meter of the city wall, and the stone and steel are from the main island and don't need to spend extra gold coins." ”

"Really?" Xiao Canghai said half-convinced, if what this guy said was true, then he could have suggested to Hua Qianye that such a wall should be built as well, so that the defense would be much easier in the future. But he had no idea that only Bugue, who was a special builder, knew about such a method of building the wall.

Yi Xiaoge thought for a while and said to Xiao Canghai: "Uncle, I still have a deal here, can you do it?" ”

"What kind of deal?" Xiao Canghai was looking at the city wall carefully, and suddenly heard that Yi Xiaoge was going to make a deal with him again, and immediately asked with a smile, the last time the thirty or so proficient islanders made a fortune, and after they went back, they built a large piece of farmland, and they were about to be upgraded to level seven.

"That's the case, you see that I still don't have enough people here, do you have any extra islanders in your chamber of commerce? Sell some to me, how about I give one gold. ”

Xiao Canghai did not doubt that the exclusive islands would be refreshed at most ten or twenty per natural day, and if he wanted to build such a huge project, those few islanders would naturally not be enough. As for the refresh of the affiliated islands, I am afraid that there are even less, he thought about it, this is a good opportunity to make money, and the islanders who refresh it in a day can also earn dozens of gold by selling it to him.

"How many people do you need?"

"Three thousand!"

"So much?" Xiao Canghai was surprised, this kid is stupid and money, obviously his patience can slowly increase. Xiao Canghai thought about it for a long time and suddenly scolded himself for thinking too much, people sold cannons and made a fortune, can you still see this money?

"Okay! However, it may not be possible to get together so many people for a while, and it may take two days to do it! Xiao Canghai has already made up his mind, and when he goes back, he will discuss with the other players of the Chamber of Commerce, and strive for fifty silver for each islander, so that he can earn thousands as soon as he changes hands.

Yi Xiaoge now realizes what it means to have money to make the devil grind, so that the second district of the Cape of the Sea and the coal mine can start normal again. The construction of the city walls will also be greatly accelerated, and the only problem now is that the funds will only be able to support the construction of the city wall for 100 meters per day.

"When the money is used, I hate it!"

Yi Xiaoge looked at the gold coins in his pocket and sighed, in the eyes of others, the daily income of tens of thousands of gold coins can only be done by large chambers of commerce, and a few hundred gold coins is already a large amount of money, but in his hands, tens of thousands of gold coins are consumed in one game day.
