A large line of transports stopped at the same time in the makeshift harbor, and as soon as the hatch of the ship opened, it was immediately busy outside. It's not as simple as building a city, and even if we have a fleet, we can't transport a city. In fact, all we're bringing with us is large machinery and building materials for the teleportation array, and that's it.
In fact, the construction of Fulcrum City had already begun after the completion of Lei Chuan, and Ling Yuan's task was not only to provide cover, but also to build advance works for Fulcrum City. Our large machinery was brought ashore and then assembly began. The ground here has been marked with a large number of symbols, these symbols were drawn by the girls of Lei Chuan overnight, these things are the basic construction drawings of the city, and we need to build the city quickly according to these marks.
Fourteen super rigs have been erected and fixed piles have been driven into the ground, which will be the main anchor lines of the city's buildings. In the outskirts of the city, a large excavator powered by a magic crystal is digging the foundations for the city walls. These excavators use the power equipment of the Atlantis tandem motorboat, which is a little less powerful, but much faster than we dig ourselves.
The dragons held the huge magic pillars and stuck them in the anchor points on the ground, and the dragons next to them helped press the pillars into the earth, and then the puppets carried boulders weighing two tons and began to pave the square, and soon the face of him under the magic pillar was paved. The Germans quickly began to install magic crystals, while others began to draw circles on the rocks.
The foundation of the city wall was quickly completed, and the puppets began to build the city wall with huge stones on their shoulders, and the crystal beetles brought from the key city ate some rocks and began to secrete condensation to stick the boulders that made up the city wall together.
Once a layer of rock was piled up, a group of trained NPC laborers began to insert steel bars vertically on both sides of the rock, and the first layer of rock was completely enclosed while the finger-thick metal strips were secured. The dragons brought the same steel bars. Then start placing it horizontally. The dragon's strong strength can bend these rebars lightly, and they make the horizontal rebar interspersed between the longitudinal rebars, and in a short time they weave a grid of rebars. These enveloped rocks and rebars are the foundation walls, which are the core of the city walls.
The dragon retreated from the wall, and the second cloak was carried by the puppet to the wall. The new rocks are stacked against the steel mesh surrounding the foundation wall, and the gap between the two is filled with our "quick-drying cement". Both sides of the foundation wall were covered with new rock, which was then wrapped again with steel bars and then surrounded by rock. After wrapping several layers repeatedly, the outermost layer of rock was left unwrapped.
The Great Jaws brought a pile of giant steel plates. Except for him, no one could move these things. The wall we are building today is a trapezoidal structure of rock and steel made of 40 meters wide at the top, 50 meters wide at the bottom, and 68 meters high. Because the city wall has a foundation part, the height of the wall above the ground is actually only 50 meters. But it's not short. The massive steel plates were each 20 centimeters thick, and they were exactly as high as the sloping walls of the city walls. These dimensions were already calculated at the time of the steel city casting.
Huge steel plates covered the outer surface of the city walls, and the inner walls did not need such defenses.
After the outer side of the wall was completely covered with steel plates, the red moxibustion began to hit the top of the wall. It's just that the steel plate used this time is smaller, but the thickness reaches 30 centimeters.
The plates were attached to the walls by the quick-drying condensate of the crystal beetles, and after making sure they were secure, our steel claws and bulldozers worked together to backfill the excavated earth into the ravine, and after the walls were completely connected to the ground, I had the puppets run back and forth on the dirt several times to compact the soil.
The current walls were swarthy and metallic, but that wasn't what we wanted. The craftsmen quickly painted a layer of silvery-white material on the inside and outside of the walls, and then the dragons began to bake the walls with dragon flames, and the silver substances were quickly dried and fixed to the steel plates. The dragon did not stop, they began to cooperate with the excavator to dig outside the city wall again, this time digging the moat, as for the water source, we are behind the sea, there is not much water?
After the moat was dug, the dragons turned all the excavated dirt into thin mud and loaded it into our huge machine for processing. This thing with a huge drum is actually a concrete mixer, but what we mixed this time was strange. Dirt, crystal dust, dragon tears, phoenix blood, plus a small amount of angel bone powder. The soil is made of local materials, the crystal dust is the powder ground from the magic crystal that has used up the energy, the phoenix blood comes from the prodigal son and Xiaofeng, the angel bone powder, and Isenger has it, and the city is full of angel corpses. Dragon tears are the most difficult to do, that is the contribution of the little dragon girl, for which we used a kilogram of onions to get this small pot, but this is the main ingredient and cannot be prepared.
The end result is a kind of dirt with a hint of pink, which is soft and feels like plasticine, but it's actually a very good nutrient soil. We got the pink dirt from the blender onto the city wall, piled up half a meter thick, and then our guild's horticultural experts walked over the inscription.
Mei Mingzhi has recently cultivated a special plant, which has a strong attack power and a certain sense of territory, so it is just right to use it this time. Rows of seeds were placed on the special pink soil, and after a few seconds, small seedlings emerged from the soil. There seems to be nothing special about them from the seedlings, the only characteristic is that they grow very fast.
After the seedlings grew, Mei Mingzhi asked us to attack these seedlings with magic, and I asked a few mage players to launch some lightning spells, and as a result, the seedlings began to grow by leaps and bounds as soon as they came into contact with lightning. In almost a dozen seconds, these plants climbed all over the city wall, and now our city wall is completely like a hill covered with plants, and those plants are also beginning to spread to the surrounding soil, and the land outside the city is also quickly occupied, and the entire 100 meters outside the city wall is full of these green plants.
These plants have very ordinary green leaves, and they quickly produce patches of yellow flowers, but there is something wrong with the size of these flower fields. As soon as I approached to take a look, the flower suddenly reached out, and the petals parted to reveal the heart. That's a flower! It's a monster entirely. In the center of the flower are two rings of sharp teeth. In the center, where the stamen should have been, are five long red tentacles. I realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated, but the tentacles in my heart suddenly shot out and wrapped around me.
Mei Mingzhi took out a bottle and sprinkled it, and some liquid with a faint aroma flew over.
As soon as the plant felt the liquid, it began to retreat, but it was still stuck a little. The part that was touched quickly withered and withered, but it didn't seem to hurt the plant itself.
Mei Mingzhi took another bottle of liquid and handed it to me: "This is a special perfume extracted from another plant, which tastes average but has a strong lethal effect on this plant. In the future, we can sell this in the city, and Korean players passing by will have to buy our perfume if they want to go out of the city, how about it? β
"Not bad, not bad. But what if these plants are sprayed on the mage? A single fireball burned them all. β
Mei Mingzhi immediately said: "Then you throw a fireball over." β
I immediately threw a small fireball over. As a result, the fireball flew into the air and was swallowed by the flower. Then the flower began to squirm, as if chewing. After a while, a red flower bloomed next to the flower, and the red flower was still burning with flames.
Mei Mingzhi explained: "If you eat a fireball, you will grow flame flowers, not only are you not afraid of fire, but you can also breathe fire. If you use lightning, lightning flowers will grow. Can be discharged. β
"And what if I use explosives?"
"Explosives are a combination of physical attacks and fire attacks, and it is estimated that they will grow Flame Flowers and Steel Flowers. I haven't really done it. β
"Yes, that's good."
I didn't expect the plants newly cultivated by Mei Mingzhi to be so powerful. It fears almost nothing but the slightly piping perfume, and as long as you're not strong enough to wipe it out all at once, it will quickly grow back and level up accordingly.
After planting the flowers, the application for the establishment of the city began. Fulcrum City has only one wall because its geographical location doesn't require too many walls. With mountains on both sides and the sea behind you, you just need to seal the only entrance. Facing the sea, we built a large number of fort bases, which could be turned into armed batteries as soon as the cannons arrived.
After the city application is completed, Fulcrum City is officially established, and the transnational teleportation array will only start after it is confirmed as a city limit, which cannot be activated in the wild, mainly to prevent it from being modified into a combat teleportation array by players.
As soon as the teleportation array was connected, a large number of workers rushed out of it carrying construction materials.
The fleet had only transported a few materials, most of which had been piled up in Isengard, and now they had arrived through the GuΓ² Teleportation Array. The first project was to build a fort array behind the city wall, and then began to modify the mountains on both sides to make these mountains difficult to climb in order to have the effect of a city wall, and the commanding height of the hilltop was also a good place to build a fort.
After a busy night, when the sun came up, we were already installing earth on the fort.
The location of Fulcrum meant that he would have to face the Japanese attack directly, and I didn't dare to let it keep only a few weapons like other cities. It was a place where our guild's heavy weapons were concentrated, with a forest-like array of batteries behind the walls, and cannons on the hilltops on both sides. The coastline was entirely a group of batteries, and shore-based torpedo launchers were added to ensure that enemy warships could not get close. I moved Isengard's garrison before the Korean players arrived, and now the walls are full of guards.
Although we piled up all the defenses on the periphery of the city overnight, the city was still deserted except for the teleportation array, and we only had time to complete the defenses, not build the internal facilities of the city. Now that the defense is complete, the construction of the interior building will begin, but the amount of work is even larger, and it is estimated that it will not be completed before dark.
We were still working on the construction, and Xiaobui suddenly contacted me. "President, how is the construction situation over there?"
"Not bad. What's wrong? What's the matter? β
Xiao Fu thought for a moment and said: "Some rumors have begun to circulate on our side, it seems that someone has discovered the construction work of Fulcrum City, but for the time being, they have not thought that this is a Chinese city, they are all planning to take a look at this new city, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before it is discovered." β
"You don't have to worry, we finished the defense facilities last night, and now the rest is the internal construction, and it will be all completed by tonight."
"That's great. Am I going to start preparing to build a pharmacy? β
"Not only pharmacies, but also blacksmiths and laboratories are needed, and these are all profitable industries. When the two sides fight, let's wait and count the money! β
"Okay, this time I'm going to make a big profit."
"Not this time, but all the time. This is a chicken that lays golden eggs. β
After cutting off the chat, I hurried to South Korea, and Union City was already overcrowded. We walked around and announced that we would be able to open the service to Japan in the evening, so those players began to frantically gather here and wait to enter the space door. Of course, they just gave the city a boost in their leisure time. Although the stores in Union City are all rented to Korean players, the stores in Fulcrum City are all our stores. Everything sold in Fulcrum City is twice as expensive as in Union City, which is called profiteering.
Park Eun's first reaction when he saw me appear in Union City was to ask me if I sold group tickets here, and his guild wanted to go over to fight in the whole of them, but the price of a single person was a little expensive. I thought about it for a long time before I said, "This is absolutely not possible." If we set a precedent, we won't be able to do well in the future. I can pick up some of your discount cards, and I can buy things in the fulcrum city, but the teleportation fee can't be less. β
Park Yin said helplessly: "I'm just asking, if it doesn't work, forget it, it's not that I can't accept it anyway." That's right, I'll give you a JianyΓ¬. β
"What?"
"You can set up those guilds as friendly guilds, so that when we and the Korean tour get there, there will be a stat bonus near your city, which is very cheap."
