Chapter 441: The Great City

The blue-gold magical energy flying platform slowly drifted in midair.

A wide platform with delicate crystal fences around the edges, and a cold wind whistling through the thin, tough transparent magic shield.

In the center of the platform, a circle of jade screens enclosed a semi-enclosed area, Qin Feng leaned on the gorgeous throne, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and his deep eyes easily looked at the hot construction area on the distant land. There, a new megacity is taking shape.

This kind of artifact used by the big people for air travel and sightseeing is very full of various functions, so his favorite thing to do now is to take this platform every day to handle government affairs in the air, and by the way, to patrol the territory of the empire.

In the surrounding airspace not far away, there are also a number of advanced alchemy flying platform Gong Guards, all of which are stationed with varying numbers of legendary powerhouses. Although the Emperor's own strength was extremely strong and he did not need much manpower to protect him, no one dared to take His Majesty's safety as a child's play.

After a long time, Qin Feng withdrew his eyes and took a sip of wine. On either side of him, there are two rows of stunning elf girls, dark elves, moon elves, radiant elves and other races, as well as dragons, goblins, barbarian girls and so on. The gorgeous golden dress could not block his vision at all, and it was all in a vacuum, and the delicate and seductive snow greasy flesh could be seen at a glance. Their eyes as they looked at Qin Feng were full of obsession, with undisguised fanaticism and adoration.

Yun Qijun was practicing his sword on the side of the platform, his long black and bright hair was simply tied behind his head, and he was dressed in a snow-white tight-fitting samurai suit, his figure was fluttering, light and uncertain.

“…… Your Majesty, five super organizations including the Mage Alliance, the Martial Saint Guild, and the Shadow Alliance, as well as nineteen countries including the Grossas Dragon Empire, the Bloman Empire, and the Seagod Empire, have jointly sent a notice, hoping that we can respect the existing international order and stop resorting to force in everything, so as not to bring more suffering to the people on the mainland. ”

"In addition, eleven chamber of commerce organizations, including the Silver Oak Chamber of Commerce, the Seven-Colored Wyvern Chamber of Commerce, and the Ice Ocean Chamber of Commerce, have successively sent notices, saying that due to the shortage of manpower, the shortage of raw materials, and other reasons, the supply of certain high-end magic items will be affected, unless we are willing to increase the price."

Beside him, the imperial concubine Huanling was reporting softly, beautiful and charming, wearing a silky snow-white spider silk robe, and her bewitching and fiery figure was highlighted.

Qin Feng smiled disappreciatively: "Then let's reply routinely, and then what should we do." ”

He wasn't surprised at all by the reaction of these big forces. The rise of the Xingshan Empire was too rapid, and almost overnight, such a behemoth appeared in the eastern region of the Xingmeng Continent, and it had the strength to affect the situation of the entire continent, so it was no wonder that they were very uneasy.

Therefore, recently, many large chambers of commerce have begun to restrict the list of purchased goods of the Xingshan Empire, such as floating magic energy fortresses, high-speed floating transport ships, legendary-level magical equipment and materials, some rare mineral metals and other strategic resources, all of which have reduced their supply for various reasons, and the existing orders have also been delayed a lot.

However, the supply of ordinary commodities has not been reduced, after all, businessmen have to do business to make money, and it is not easy to cooperate with those big forces to do this.

As for those big chambers of commerce that are controlled by alien races, or the Terran Chamber of Commerce whose foundation is far away in the Xingmeng Continent, there is no restriction on this for the time being, but when the territory of the Xingshan Empire expands by three or five times, it is difficult to say what the result will be.

Qin Feng pulled her over and sat in his arms, and muttered: "The response of these guys is quite reasonable, but it's already a little late, and the world is so big, it is simply foolish to rely on the so-called blockade and sanctions to strangle a big country." ”

Through the frenzied throwing of money in the past few years, the empire's reserves in many strategic materials have been extremely considerable, and even if all foreign trade import channels are cut off immediately, it can be supported alone for several years.

What's more, now that the empire has a large territory and a large population, many important mineral resources can be found on the territory, and some relatively high-end goods also have production capacity, so there is no need to rely on outsourcing.

The so-called sanctions and blockades, apart from being more effective against small countries, are not at all effective against countries above the middle level.

Since the founding of the country, China in the main world has grown up under the malicious eyes of the European and American powers, and it has only been a year since the founding of the country, and then it has lasted for decades of comprehensive blockade and isolation, even after the reform and opening up, many sanctions have not been lifted, and even now, there are still a bunch of trade discriminatory clauses and technical blockade measures, many of which are specifically aimed at China.

But even so, did Huaguo collapse? Not only did it not collapse, but on the contrary, it developed better and better, and those high-tech that European and American countries do not sell, the Chinese people can do the same with their own skills and turn them into cabbage. Use the facts to slap the faces of those white-skinned pigs again and again. This is how the title of "pulverizer of developed countries" came about.

After a while, Yun Qijun put away her sword, her beautiful posture was as tall as a pine, and the sharp sword aura lingered around her body, she had now also recovered the strength of the legendary realm, and she would soon go further.

She walked back, sat down beside Qin Feng, and said, "It will take at least a year or two for this new capital of the empire to be completed, and those guys won't jump out and make a bad move, right?" ”

Qin Feng smiled: "I can't ask for it, I'm afraid they won't come." ”

As the empire grows larger, Bingsong City, which was originally located at the foot of the Black Frost Rock Mountains, is no longer suitable for continuing to exist as a capital, after all, the place is too cold, and the location is remote and sparsely populated, so many things are not very convenient.

Therefore, after the new round of war subsided, the cabinet ministers jointly played a petition to implore Qin Feng to move the capital, and obtained his approval.

There are not too many places that can be used as the capital of a big country, first of all, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack; secondly, it should have a large population and abundant resources; In addition, the transportation should be convenient and developed, preferably located on the seashore, or by the big river, so that the transportation of materials from all over the country is convenient, and the cost of maintaining the normal operation of the city will be relatively low.

These are the main aspects, and the secondary considerations are even more secondary, so with the empire's current territory of nearly 20 million square kilometers, there are still very few places to choose from. After all, more than half of the country is a relatively cold area, with few people and inconvenient transportation. To the south, however, was a newly acquired land, and the foundation of the empire's rule was not yet secure.

In the end, after several trade-offs, Qin Feng chose the address of the new capital city in the current location, this place was originally the territory of a big noble, close to the magnificent Ziyun Mountain Range in the north, the scenery is beautiful, the terrain is quite good, there is a big river passing by dozens of kilometers in the south, and the sea is a huge semi-enclosed sea area, a bit similar to the Bohai Bay in the main world.

Further on the outer edge of the sea, there are several medium-sized islands, which can be converted into naval bases, which can accommodate a considerable number of fleets, which is enough to ensure the safety of the new imperial capital in the sea direction.

The not-so-good thing is that there is no decent city here, everything has to be built from scratch, and to build a giant city at the level of an imperial capital, all kinds of investment must be astronomical.

Another weakness is that the location here is relatively close to the border of the Broman Empire, and the straight-line distance is less than five hundred kilometers, which can be said to be a very dangerous distance. Once the two countries go to war in the future, the other side can easily pose a serious threat to the imperial capital by mobilizing heavy troops to raid.

Therefore, the ministers were not optimistic about this place, and it was Qin Feng's strong advocacy that finally made up for it.

Anyway, in his conception, the Broman Empire will inevitably fall in the near future, and the threat faced by the imperial capital will be self-defeating at that time, so what is there to worry about?

At this moment, more than 400,000 slaves were busy on this huge construction site, in addition to the assistance of 300,000 troops, with the use of a large number of alchemy construction machinery, and the assistance of thousands of Sanctuary powerhouses, many projects were progressing extremely fast.

The various resources provided by the empire are extremely abundant, and the construction can be carried out in shifts day and night, and with the assistance of large machinery, many facilities that take more than half a month to complete can often be completed in two or three days.

Of course, many big forces in the outside world are not happy to see the successful completion of this giant city, since the construction started more than half a year ago to now, there has been more than a wave of suspicious strong people snooping nearby, and the result is naturally no return.

For this reason, Qin Feng also specially left an avatar to stay here, and after many rounds of bloody lessons, the high-level leaders of those forces finally converged a lot.

Because it is possible that this place will become the political, economic and transportation center of the entire Xingmeng Continent in a few years, Qin Feng's planning and conception of the new imperial capital can be called shocking, and the engineering design of this giant city was completed by the super quantum computing center group in the kingdom of God, and its scale is more than twice as large as Van Kerl City, the capital of the Qingyan Continent and the Nopton Empire, and it can be called the first male city in the camp of human civilization.

The size of the Imperial City alone is larger than that of many middle-sized powers, and the future Grand Temple of Cardinals will be located here. Hundreds of giant magic towers, a magic array covering the entire imperial city area with a radius of 100 miles, a city wall tens of meters high and three layers inside and outside, an avenue that can accommodate ten load-bearing carriages running side by side, and a complete and strict magic vigilance monitoring system...... Everything has reached new heights in the civilized state of mankind.

Twenty-four satellite cities will be built on the outer edge of the imperial capital, as well as an even greater number of military forts, to carry more people and resources, and to garrison more troops. Make this a truly impregnable imperial cardinal powerhouse.
