Chapter 307: Extraordinary Plants (5600 Words)
Although there were still many things to deal with in the Broken City of Dawn, especially the extraordinary plant that had cost millions of gold puck to cultivate, he was very curious.
But he stayed in Green City for three days before leaving.
Both the Crimson Mage Tower and the Dark Covenant have accumulated a lot of things that need him to decide over the past few months.
Especially now that the productivity of the City of Dawn has obviously skyrocketed, it has brought a lot of changes to the two forces.
Weapons and equipment have now become the main products of the Dark Covenant, and with the cheap and high-quality equipment produced by the weapons factory, they have begun to conquer the huge weapons market in Green City.
Li De determined two main lines of development for the two forces that intertwined light and dark.
The Crimson Mage Tower is dominated by magic scrolls, and will produce high-level magic scrolls full-time in the future, and low-level magic scrolls will be produced by Daybreak City and transported to the Crimson Mage Tower.
High-level weapons and other high-profit items as support.
The Covenant of Darkness is mainly based on the sale of weapons, and it is full of efforts to conquer the weapons market in Green City, supplemented by magic scrolls and peerless wines such as Erguotou, and the profits of the wine are not necessarily much worse than weapons and equipment, but the City of Dawn has not yet been produced on a large scale.
The market for weapons and magic scrolls is definitely the most lucrative in glory.
As long as you can get a certain share of one of the markets, you can make a lot of money.
That's the case with the Crimson Mage Tower.
Now that Daybreak has a strong production force, both markets can be used in it.
Therefore, Li De made this plan of two flowers without any scruples.
Whether it is a magic factory or a weapon factory, it is essentially a spark generated by the collision of modern production methods with the magical world.
The magic factory of the Scarlet Mage Tower has been developed under the leadership of Wei Na for so long, and it is no longer the magic factory established by Li De.
Now the magic factory has its own R&D department, which is responsible for developing and improving the production of magic scrolls, and has already begun to experiment with the development of new magic scrolls.
The crafting process has been updated at least five times compared to the original process, and the current magic factory has truly become a glorious magic factory, rather than a rigid item copied from the earth.
This is Li De's greatest confidence, because he has mastered the productivity that the world cannot match.
And more importantly, with the development and growth of Daybreak City, although he is now making more and more money, there is still a gap.
City construction, army maintenance, training of mages, research expenditures, education expenditures, daily city maintenance and city hall employment expenses, etc., etc....... There's no place where you don't need money.
Therefore, the fast economic source has always been the focus of Li De's focus.
After setting the goals and directions for the future development of both forces, on November 6, Li De returned to Dawn City in Castro, who had returned to Green City from the graveyard of the dead before him.
Grote and Stanley stayed in Green City.
The Shadow of Daybreak Project has been dormant for months, and only Stanley is in control of this plan that is powerful enough to affect the future of Daybreak City.
And it is also very important that Greentown is the central city of the southern province and the gathering place of major forces.
If the intelligence command center wants to develop, it must set up a complete intelligence network here, and the situation will inevitably be much better if Stanley is in charge in the early stage of the construction of the intelligence network.
Castro has the blood of a bronze cyclops and the blood ancestor of the blood clan, and is not afraid of the sun, so Li De chose to set off in the morning.
Under the supersonic flight of the newborn king, it flew back to the City of Dawn in less than two days.
"Good day, patriarch."
Harrison, who looked a little neutral, saw Castro landing in the back garden, and immediately popped down from the second-floor office and greeted him.
"Good day, Harrison", Li De smiled at his right-hand man, with a wingspan of 16 blades behind him, and Castro, who was wearing extraordinary armor, suddenly transformed into ~brush~ A palm-sized mini bat flapped its wings and flew onto Li De's shoulder.
After greeting Harrison, Leed walked straight to the office.
He hadn't returned to the city that belonged to him for three months.
In the office on the third floor, Li De sat on the soft sofa and squinted his eyes comfortably.
"Is the first phase of the new city now complete?"
"Patriarch, it is expected to be completed by the middle of this month." Harrison stood beside Reed and responded respectfully.
"In the middle of this month? The new town should have been completed at the beginning of the month, why was it delayed? ”
Hearing this, Harrison's expression stiffened slightly, and he whispered, "You asked the Ministry of Construction to expand the artificial lake three times larger..... So a lot of buildings have to be replanned. ”
Li De's eyes opened slightly, as if he had really said this, and at that time he also mentioned it casually, and he could raise a few mermaids here after digging wider.
"It's okay, it's late, it's late, it doesn't affect the whole."
After a haha, he immediately changed the subject, "How is the current population plunder plan going?" ”
This is already the third population raid carried out by Daybreak.
The first plundering of the population was when Li De came to Rongguang, and formally implemented the sustainable development strategy, which determined the direction of the future.
The second time was last year, the year of the rapid development of the City of Daybreak, and the population of the City of Daybreak also exceeded the 50,000 mark in the winter month of last year.
This year's Winter Moon is the third time.
How well next year develops will largely depend on whether more people can be plundered back this year.
In modern times, science and technology are the primary productive forces, but in glory, the population is the primary productive forces, and this is absolutely true.
The City of Dawn is now short of population, and it is very scarce.
You must know that the Moonlight Plain is not fully developed now, and there is still a vast land hundreds of kilometers long behind the Moonlight Plain.
It is still a virgin land overgrown with grass and trees, waiting to be cultivated by outsiders.
Therefore, Li De does not lack land, but only the population that can reclaim the land.
And what makes Li De feel urgent is that this time next year, the player is coming.
His next plundering of the population may not go so well.
Because no one knows for sure what will happen after the game's open beta.
After all, the closed beta is only 100,000 players, and the number of people online at the same time may only be 30,000, but in the open beta, the number of people in this epoch-making "game" may be as high as tens of millions at one time.
The exaggerated amount of this sudden intrusion is enough to change a lot of the existing pattern.
Although the player will be at the bottom of the glory for a short time, they will have to endure countless beatings before they can grow up.
But with their immortal nature, even if they grow slowly, they can eventually become stronger.
This is destined to be a big change, and if the City of Dawn wants to take the lead in this big change, it must develop stronger.
Now Li De's real body almost doesn't need to eat, and relying on sucking blood in the glory is enough to survive for this.
And he can now feel the growing power in his body, if the earth had magic, he would have been able to rub the fireball technique with his hands a long time ago.
It's a game that can change the entire human world, and the secrets behind its glory can shock the world.
In order to face the impact of the unknown, he can only work harder to strengthen his body.
Until you reach the extraordinary, you are far from being able to sit back and relax.
"Patriarch, the orcs are stationed on the border line and have not moved, although they occupy most of the land on the border, but chaos has broken out last year, and this year it is exceptionally stable."
Harrison shook his head and explained, "In order to plunder the population, we have set our sights north of Greentown.
The north has been invaded by the undead, and many areas have not been able to grow food so far, so there are still a large number of refugees stranded here.
Despite the help of Green City, no one cares too much about this group of refugees. ”
Li De nodded slightly, Stanley had told him about this before, but he didn't say it in great detail.
"Looting has already begun?"
"Because this operation will involve Green City, it is still in the preparation stage.
According to the previous information, there are still many nobles and city lords in this group of refugees.
So we've got a different plan than we've ever had. ”
Speaking of this, Harrison's eyes showed a little excitement, "After this plundering begins, we will plunder all the 50,000 people that can be fully loaded in the new city within three days. ”
"Plundering 50,000 people in three days??"
Li De's eyes were a little surprised.
That's not a small amount.
And plundering 50,000 people is different from killing 50,000 people, killing people is easy to do, just kill them and leave.
However, the plundered population has to be pacified, suppressed, and then transported back, and the transportation back also needs to be accompanied by logistics such as clothing, food, shelter and transportation.
It's easy to say, but it's definitely a world of difficulty.
Especially in the area of logistics support, the city of dawn currently has a population of 50,000, and it will immediately double the population, and the pressure on logistics is enough to make the logistics department collapse.
Providing daily necessities for 50,000 people is not the same as providing 100,000 people, and the difficulty is at least three to five times higher.
The more people, the greater the logistical pressure, which is why the size of those big cities in the era of cold weapons is not too large.
Can't afford it.
The same goes for Daybreak, there is a threshold, and if you exceed that, you will face a lot of pressure.
The previous plunders had similarly plundered a large number of people, but only on a small base, and for a period of up to three or four months, with a buffer period after each raid.
This time, he directly got 50,000 in three days, and even Li De was a little surprised by Harrison's generosity.
"Are you sure the logistics and security can keep up?"
Harrison's expression was a little proud when he heard this, "Patriarch, we have been preparing for this plan for two months, and there will definitely be no problems. ”
"And the geography of the north means that we can't plunder the population as recklessly as we do on the orc frontier.
Prolonged action will inevitably expose our existence, so it is necessary to solve the problem quickly and in the shortest possible time. ”
Looking at Harrison's confident appearance, Li De smiled with relief.
He had cultivated for so long, and the City of Dawn had finally grown up.
The logistics of 50,000 people are coming, and this kind of soft power is even more terrifying, because it represents the essence of the city.
Although the City of Dawn is still weak compared to the powerful forces in the outside world, it is still different.
"Okay, let's do it according to your plan.
It is imperative that absolute security is ensured, and the location of the City of Daybreak must not be revealed. ”
The City of Dawn can develop so steadily, in addition to Li De's strong wrist and super high foresight, the most important thing is that it is secretive enough.
No one can disturb him, and he can develop in peace.
If the geographical location of the City of Dawn is exposed, then this greatest advantage will be lost, which Li De will never tolerate.
The current City of Dawn is at most a piece of equipment, and it is still far from the Six Gods Outfit, and it is far from the level that it can be waved.
A transcendent in Green City can press them to the ground and rub them, so stabilizing development is the right way.
"Yes, Patriarch." Harrison naturally understood, and replied respectfully.
"When does the plan start?"
"Wait until the intelligence services have everything cleared up and there are no loopholes in the plan deduced by the think tank."
"Okay, let's do it." Li De nodded with satisfaction, he was not afraid of the great development of the City of Dawn, just because he was not prepared, hot-headed was the most important.
"Patriarch, that fish-man Kasrina ......" Harrison's expression was a little tangled at the moment.
"Oh? The half-breed fish-man? Li De's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Have you found out any news?" ”
He hadn't forgotten the mermaid who was noted by the system that there was a secret on his body that was enough to change the pattern of the continent.
At night it is a fish man, and during the day it is a human body, which is indescribably mysterious.
At the mention of this name, the calm and indifferent eyes that seemed to have been praying in the church for decades suddenly appeared in Lide's mind.
Impressed.
"The Bloods of the Scarlet Blade didn't hear anything useful about her," Harrison shook his head with a wry smile.
Although she used to work at the town hall and had a busy day, she seemed to have a special magic that made people unconsciously quiet.
So she probably doesn't speak more than thirty words a day......"
Li De frowned, "Then why did you mention her?" ”
Harrison looked at the confusion on Li De's face, but breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that the fish-man had nothing to do with the patriarch.
"Because the Ministry of Construction came to ask for people, they needed Kasrina to cooperate with the Ministry of Construction to build a new city, so I transferred her to the Ministry of Construction."
Li De's face was a little strange.
What good can a fish-man do to the Ministry of Construction?
After thinking about it, he said with some uncertainty, "Tap water?" It seems that only this engineering fishman can come in handy.
Harrison nodded affirmatively, "That's right, it's tap water."
The first phase of the construction of the new urban area can accommodate 50,000 people.
Not to mention that every household of these 50,000 people is equipped with running water, but every floor and even every building needs running water.
But we don't have enough water right now.
The streams that flow from the peaks around Dawnbreak are no longer enough to meet the huge demand.
Especially when the second phase of construction of the new city begins, the problem will be even more serious. ”
Kasrina seems to have a natural sense of water, helping the Ministry of Construction find rivers underground, dark rivers in the mountains, and even give advice on how to dig and build passages.
For the Ministry of Construction, this is invaluable. ”
Li De couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, it was really not bright in the west and bright in the east, but he didn't expect this half-breed fishman to have this ability.
Regarding the construction of tap water, he originally had a very grand and epic plan - the south-to-north water diversion.
He planned to build artificial rivers on the peaks around the City of Daybreak to divert water from the surrounding peaks into the City of Daybreak.
The area where Daybreak City was located was like a piece of cake that had been cut out of a gourd-shaped terrain, and there were equally high, continuous mountains on the surrounding three thousand blade-high peaks.
The location of Daybreak was like being in the middle of a long mountain range, which was only a depression, but the surrounding mountains were still so high.
So this ambitious plan is very feasible, the only problem is that the difficulty is too great.
Above the three thousand blades, in the snow-covered land, to find the river that has not been frozen, and to lead it to the City of Dawn.
The difficulty of this construction is simply sky-high.
But no matter how difficult it is, Li De will not give up, because only this grand plan can solve the problem of lack of water resources in the City of Dawn.
Daybreak doesn't have a lot of water, and it's enough to handle a small number of people, but if it has a population of more than 100,000, it becomes a very big problem.
At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little tempted when he heard Harrison's words, with the help of the half-blood merfolk's ability, he could definitely greatly reduce the difficulty of this project.
"Harrison, do you remember what I told you about the South-to-North Water Transfer Project?"
"Of course, it's just that the construction was too difficult later, and the various projects in the City of Dawn required too many resources, so it was delayed."
Harrison nodded immediately, and he was impressed by the plan to divert countless rivers from the mountains around Daybreak City for Daybreak.
It's just that the grandeur of the plan also represents the extremely high difficulty of construction, and when this plan was proposed, Daybreak City did not have the ability and resources to start.
Right now......
"Patriarch, you're saying it's time to start this plan?"
Li De nodded affirmatively.
"After the construction of the new urban area, it will enter the cold winter, and we can put the plan for the second phase of construction until the beginning of spring.
And this gap can kickstart this epic project.
It is not intended to be completed in a short period of time, but to carry out preliminary preparations.
With the help of the half-breed fishmen, it is possible to go to the field to explore, and finally assess the difficulty of construction.
If the Construction Department is unable to complete the project independently, it can use all its strength to assist the Construction Department.
Mage Towers, King's Blades, Weapon Factories, and Alchemy Factories can be mobilized at will. ”
Hearing Li De's tone, Harrison also knew that this time he had made up his mind.
"Yes, Patriarch, after the construction of the new city is completed, I will immediately arrange for the construction department to conduct a survey, and I will let them come up with a plan in the shortest possible time."
"Well, while this is going on, the monitoring of the half-blood fishmen cannot be relaxed.
Kasrina is in charge of the intelligence command center, and I need you to set up a top-secret department dedicated to collecting Kathrina's information.
Every bit of her, even if she eats a few bites in the morning, must be recorded. ”
Li De's deep eyes were uncertain.
As a person in power, the most important thing to abandon is to be indecisive, Kasrina can be systematically labeled, its importance is self-evident, he can't use the power of faith to control the other party, then it must be monitored in other aspects.
Because the secrets carried by this half-blood fish-man are likely to easily affect the fate of Daybreak City.
If he left it alone, it would be irresponsible to him and the City of Dawn.
As the king of a race, the Lord of Dawn must shoulder the heavy responsibility for the fate of tens of thousands of people when he holds the monstrous power.
Harrison naturally understood the importance of this matter, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, I have already communicated with the Intelligence Command Center, and now there are three groups of people monitoring Kasrina.
The Scarlet Blade is the deepest hidden, along with the newly trained human intelligence officers, and even the outermost of the city hall staff and Kasrina's neighbors who don't know they're helping us spy on the half-blood. ”
Li De nodded slightly, and did not continue to dwell on this matter.
Although the system hinted that Kasrina was hiding a secret that could change the pattern of the continent, since it was a secret, and it was such an important secret, it was obviously not so simple to find out.
He was prepared for that.
"You can arrange this matter."
After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and continued, "Did Nilo have researched a transcendent plant? ”
Then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "I heard that you have purchased nearly two million Jinpuk's magic crystals during this time......"
An ordinary magic crystal is only worth a million gold puke, good guys, this directly buys two magic crystal veins.
Hearing this question, Harrison's eyes showed some excitement that could not be concealed.
"Patriarch, His Highness Nilo has cultivated an extraordinary plant, and even this extraordinary plant has its own wisdom, and the fruit it bears can make the bloodline evolve ......"
A transcendent plant with its own wisdom,
And...... Fruits allow bloodlines to evolve?!!
