Chapter 265: The Whole City Mobilizes
The plane slowly stopped on the runway, and I couldn't wait to jump out of the plane, and directly ordered one of the guards closest to me to fetch Roca and ask him to wait for me at the entrance of the mine.
Then, without stopping for a moment, I quickly rushed to the mine, and successfully found the mine owner in the mine management center next to the mine, waited for a while, and when Roca hurried over, we took the mine map and walked into the mine.
Soon, according to the map, we found the tunnel closest to the valley, and according to my calculations, since the mine has been dug very large, it should be very easy to get through to the valley from here!
Thinking about this, I immediately ordered the mine owner to stop the mining of iron ore and phantom stone mines, and dig in this direction with all my might, and open this passage!
After receiving my order, the mine owner immediately turned around and left, to arrange the relevant matters, for him, my order is the destiny, there is nothing to doubt, what should be told, I will naturally tell him, should not be told to him, it is useless to ask, only the bad is not good.
After much measurement and calculation, I have demarcated the area that needs to be mined, and if I dig it out from here, it should be easy to dig through, after all...... The three intersecting mountains are very long, just find a place to go out, what I don't know now is the depth of the mine, just don't dig through the ground.
Soon, the mine owner led more than 4,000 miners to rush over, and then quickly began to dig according to the area I had drawn, after so long of excavation, everyone was already a skilled miner, and the speed of mining was called a fast, large tracts of ore, peeling off the cave wall layer by layer.
After repeatedly telling everyone to be safe, Roca and I left the mine, now we just have to wait for the news that the mountain has been opened, I don't think it will take too long, after all...... After a long period of mining, this mine has basically been hollowed out, and it will not take long to dig in either direction.
Leaving the mine, I took Roca in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and along the way, I briefly explained my thoughts to Rocca and ordered him to immediately organize a construction team, I will build a large number of buildings, as well as some facilities!
In the face of my request, Rocca spoke out his difficulties, and now ...... Everyone in Phantom City already has a job, everyone is busy, where to find so many people to build buildings?
The 4,000 people in the mine are digging in the mine, and the other more than 6,000 slaves are reinforcing the city wall outside the city.
Hearing Roca's words, I couldn't help frowning, indeed...... I have to admit that so far, everyone in Phantom City is busy working, and it is impossible to draw out a large number of people.
Once the mining stops, then the smelt will be stopped, and once the smelt is stopped, then the armor workshop, as well as the reinforcement of the city wall outside the city, will inevitably stop, and in this way, the entire phantom city will be paralyzed.
As for the atomic people of Phantom City, now they are all in charge of catering or entertainment, once they stop, then these thousands of living slaves are probably going to starve to death, and there is no one to cook for them, what else can they do except starve to death?
This is indeed a difficult problem, but it is only a little difficult, it is not that there is no way to solve it, after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided, and ordered Mario to immediately buy me another 2000 high-level slave craftsmen back, since there is no way to transfer the current personnel, then I have to buy.
Of course, in addition to buying, I can also hire, but for me, this is impossible, that valley will be my secret military base, my last trump card, even if it is the Phantom City people, I will not let them know, they will be a secret existence of the team, the less people know the better.
As for the 2,000 high-ranking slave craftsmen who were bought, they generally didn't have a chance to get out of that valley again, of course...... I'm not trying to kill them, I'm just ...... Such a big valley is enough for them to build for a lifetime, even if the house is built, but you can build a square, you can build a road, you can build a garden, you can build a landscape or something, such a large area, if there are only 2,000 people, it will not be completed in a few years, no matter what.
In the days that followed, Mario bought high-ranking slave craftsmen from the nearest big city, and at the same time ...... After a few days of non-stop low-altitude flights, I was able to map out the terrain of the valley and have already entered the actual planning stage!
In the past, when the plane was at high altitude, the valley was already very large, but when I pressed it to the low altitude to fly, I really realized how big the triangular valley really was, and each side of the triangle was probably forty or fifty kilometers long, forming a huge triangular valley.
Around the valley, there are three huge mountain ranges, the mountains are tall and steep, although it is not that you must not jump, but if you want to cross the large army, it is still impossible, it is too dangerous, people who do not have a little level, it is really impossible to jump.
For this valley, my plan is like this, I will build this place into a military base, except for the necessary residential and food buildings, there is basically no other construction, most of the area, will be built into the training ground of the Scorpion Legion, as well as the natural wild training ground, in the entire triangular valley, I will build a large number of training facilities, all kinds of training requirements, I will build one by one!
At the same time, these days, I have to run to the lost city every day to have a look, fortunately, there is a plane, a few hours away, usually I think about the planning of the triangle valley on the road, after a month, I finally decided on my plan.
At the same time, tens of thousands of children also left the Lost City with their Zhurong Divine Horse, rushed out of the swamp, and began to drive towards the Phantom City, for which they ...... A large mercenary group protects them, and there is no trouble along the way, but ...... The Lost City is too far away from the Phantom City, and it will not be possible to catch up with it in any way without a month or two.
On the fourth day after the children of the Scorpion Legion left the swamp and rushed to the Phantom City, they finally ...... Good news came from the mine, after more than a month of hard work, they finally opened the passage to the next valley!
Hearing the news, I jumped on Xiaoqiang's back excitedly, and rushed towards the mine at full speed, I was worried that the passage had not been opened for a long time these days, and now it is okay, the passage is finally fully opened!
Soon, Xiaoqiang and I rushed to the planned excavation site, looking at the wide, straight passage, I couldn't help but be very excited, these guys are really capable, only in such a short time, to complete such a big project!
At my urging, Xiaoqiang quickly rushed forward along the passage, ...... along the way Looking at the passage of the spacious order, I couldn't believe that it was a solid rock a month ago, and in just a month's effort, they had pulled out a passage more than two hundred meters long, such a speed was really too exaggerated.
But come to think of it, they are all 24 hours a day, divided into three shifts to catch up, it is not surprising that there is such a speed, as long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you try your best to do it, you will definitely be able to do it.
Call......
After walking for a short time, a burst of fresh and cool air blew in front of me, and my eyes lit up, and I knew...... The exit has arrived!
Sure enough, after walking for a while, a passage that extended diagonally upwards appeared in front of us, and without my order, Xiaoqiang quickly rushed along the inclined ramp to the outside.
A gentle and cool breeze, gently blowing, the next moment...... Xiaoqiang and I appeared in the huge valley, and when we looked around, except for the mountain wall behind us, it turned out to be an open, endless forest and grassland, so that you would not think that you were in a valley at all.
When you look at it from above, this valley is already very large, but when you come here in person, you will find that it is even bigger than you imagined...... I still need to adjust my plan.
Under my order, Xiaoqiang began to gallop at full speed, all day, I spent a whole day, and finally turned all the places, at Xiaoqiang's speed, this whole day, I am afraid that thousands of miles have run out, it can be seen that how big this valley is, you don't have to expect to see the end at a glance!
In the next few days, I ordered the 2,000 newly purchased high-ranking slave craftsmen to start building makeshift cottages at full speed, using the timber available in the valley, and striving to build 1,000 cottages within two months!
At my order, all the craftsmen rushed to their jobs and began their work, of course...... This is not to say how industrious they are, the most important reason is that I have given them the same treatment as those slave miners, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can regain their freedom.
Since there is only one season a year around the Phantom City, that is, summer, it is as warm as spring at any time, so the construction of houses is also very easy, as long as it can shelter from the wind and rain, anyway, it is just a temporary residence, so it is very fast to build!
In addition, these newly purchased craftsmen are high-level construction craftsmen with rich construction experience, so the speed of construction is increasing, 2000 people are divided into 100 groups, each group of 2o people, every three days can build 100 wooden houses that look very beautiful! In just one month, thousands of wooden houses have risen from the ground, neatly arranged in two areas!
What is the concept of 1,000 houses? It is a large area with no end in sight, according to the plan, all the wooden houses are lined up in rows, neatly arranged, and between the houses, there is a large open space for those children to use during their daily training, and at the same time...... Between the two rows of houses, there is a wide and neat passage as wide as eight lanes, and the whole building area is fresh, tidy, elegant and beautiful, which can be compared to the resort villas on earth!
Originally, I only planned to build temporary buildings to house the children of the Scorpion Legion, but when all the buildings were built, I changed my mind, the house was repaired so well, wouldn't it be a pity to demolish it?
Of course, it is impossible to live in these wooden houses for a lifetime, I have already decided that when I move to a new house, I will take a certain achievement as the standard, and when the strength reaches a certain level, I can move out of these wooden houses and move into a luxurious stone villa specially built for them!
In the following time, most of the craftsmen began to make the beds in the house, because the area of the valley is very large, so I did not deliberately save space, each house is very large, very spacious, in the wooden house, bounded by the door, there are five rooms on both sides, each room has an area of 20 square meters, in addition to a simple wooden bed, there will be a special small desk in the future, and a small cabinet, but for the time being, I can only provide them with a sturdy bed, and a comfortable quilt. Daily necessities have to be exchanged for their hard work.
In the middle of the two rows of houses, there is a place for everyone to eat, and there is a large long dining table, and ten chairs, which will be where they will eat later, of course...... Proper entertainment, will also be carried out here!
Ten wooden chairs, placed on either side of the long table, in the drawer under the table, I have allowed each of the five sets of chess and Go, in order to develop the strategic and tactical literacy of the players, they must learn chess and Go in the future, and ...... It will be their only recreational activity, which is both fun and good for physical and mental health.
The rooms on either side of the wooden house are just for rest and sleep, of course...... It can also be used for reflection and study, and as for food, under my order, Mario has purchased 2,000 female slaves, all of whom are masters of cooking, and in groups of twenty people, they will live in the same house as the members of those clans, and when the children are done training, they can go straight back to their huts, and the long table in the middle of the hall must have been set up for them to eat!
In each house, that is, for every ten people, there will be two female slaves specially for them to prepare their meals, and these two female slaves will receive the materials according to the prescribed time, and then make a sumptuous meal according to the prescribed recipe, so that the two female slaves, who are responsible for the diet of ten children, can definitely be called a luxury, and it is impossible to take care of it.
As for the children's laundry and personal hygiene, I don't have a special person, the necessary self-care ability is a must, I wash my own clothes, they are not uncles, it is impossible to hire someone to serve them.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the construction work is very fast, and with the non-stop work of 2,000 craftsmen, it finally ...... While the children of the Scorpion Legion were still halfway through, the construction work was completely completed, and 500 wooden buildings were built on each side of the valley leading to the valley, divided into two large areas, of which on the left was the boys' quarters, and on the right were the girls' quarters.
A large amount of food, daily necessities, was procured and then transported into the valley through the mines, and now ...... Everything is ready, just wait for the children of the Scorpion Legion to arrive!
However, before the children of the Scorpion Legion arrived, unexpectedly, Alanx led his newly formed Blue Dragon Knights to rush back first.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the dark night archers outside the city, I couldn't help but shake my head in admiration, after having these super first-class night archers, I am not afraid of anyone now, what about the dream city?
waved his hand slightly, and suddenly ...... The huge and heavy city gate was slowly opened, and at my signal, Aranx led a whole ten thousand night archers, slowly pouring into the city.
There's not much to say about the rest of the day, just allocate a house for these guys, and we don't have to worry about the daily living expenses and other things, after all...... I'm paying them!
Even if it is a house, it is only temporarily lent to them, and if you want to own a house that is completely your own, you have to buy it with money, but ...... Now that they have joined the Phantom City, they are already a member of the Phantom City, and for the people inside the Phantom City, the price of the house will be reduced by 2o%, and the house of 1 million outsiders can be bought for 800,000.
The reason why I didn't send them a house directly, I have my own ideas, and if I give them now, they won't cherish it at all, they will only think that everything is as it should be, this is the psychology of people!
Actually, I still want to give these houses to them, but ...... That's a premise, that is, they must contribute to the Phantom City, according to their merits, I will give out a lot of money and material rewards, and at that time, they will use the money they have earned to buy this house, and they will feel extremely cherished.
As the saying goes, merit must be rewarded, mistakes must be punished, no matter what you do, you must have a basis, and now for me, I can't find any reason to give them a house for nothing, so ...... Like the children, they can only live in one house for every ten people, and if they want to own their own house, they have to buy it with money.
