When Yeyu City was built before, because of limited manpower, plus the technical level could not keep up, so it looked very messy in many places, and at the same time, after the electricity, but also for various reasons, it was not well arranged, resulting in the whole city looking more like a small village in the seventies and eighties, messy, old, even if it is a small town, in Shu Han's opinion, it can be built well, like those villages and towns in Japan, small towns in Europe, the population is only one or two thousand people, and the level of science and technology is not high, But it can be built with its own flavor and character, and although it has no practical effect, it can make the people who live in it feel happy and peaceful, which is of course good.

Just like China's new rural transformation in the 21st century, the appearance of these rural areas has become more beautiful to a certain extent, not just thinking about living, such a house looks very unaesthetic, which Shu Han does not like, although he has been in this apocalyptic world for a long time, and has long been accustomed to the food, clothing, housing and transportation here, but this does not mean that he does not yearn for a better life, now he can completely manage a city, and at the same time there are so many people for his own use, Of course, it is to try to meet their own living conditions, and at the same time, around Joaquin City, there are a large number of stone mountains, which have directly used building materials and stones, which is better for Shu Han, and at the same time, the production capacity of Black Iron City has increased greatly in recent times, so Shu Han is also very luxurious to simply use cement to pave the ground, and at the same time, when building houses, a large number of cement and stone are used to build directly, and the style in his heart is the style of Europe and the United States.

There are two main reasons for adopting the style of Europe and the United States, the first is to take materials nearby, if the surrounding material is more wood, then Shu Han will directly build a house built of wood, and if there are more stones, it is natural to build a stone house, and the second point is that compared with a wooden house, a stone house can better ensure the safety of the people, after all, no one can predict in this dangerous place, what kind of scene will be around, and the relative safety is guaranteed.

As for the general color of the house is bright yellow, the roof tiles are mainly blue, which is also Shu Han's favorite hue, as for where these pigments come from, it is not a difficult thing for Shu Han, there are some ores near here, these pigments can be extracted, the method is also very simple, in ancient China, there are many paintings that are directly painted with mineral pigments, and now there are such small mineral deposits near the Joaquin area, although the number is not much, only a dozen tons, but for the application of pigments, It's already absolutely enough.

At the same time, compared with Yeyu City, there is a little difference, that is, as a plain city, it is necessary to build a city wall, otherwise if the enemy comes to attack, there is not even a city wall, then it is easy to be directly attacked by the enemy, so at this point, Shu Han also spent a lot of effort, he imitated the model of the ancient city wall of Xi'an to build, of course, relying on reinforced concrete, this city wall is bound to be more majestic than the Xi'an city wall, and only in this way can it defend against the enemy's attack.

People always have some misunderstandings about the city wall, thinking that the city wall is just a wall, but if you have been to Xi'an or Nanjing, and have seen the real capital level city wall, you can know that the city wall is far from so simple, Shu Han has been to Xi'an to travel, and has been to the Xi'an city wall, the width of the city wall, four or five cars back and forth on it is not a problem at all, and even pavilions can be built on the city wall, and this is still built in ancient times, and does not use any modern technology. It can be seen that the construction of the city wall is not simply a wall, and there are many doorways.

Fortunately, Shu Han has seen the real city wall, and there are engineers in the new group of Dürr to help, which makes the construction of the city wall relatively easy, and the main body of the city wall is naturally impossible to use bricks like the ancient city wall, but if the steel is completely used, then Shu Han can not afford to pay this price, the main product used is stone, and then use steel to bear the load, and at the same time use cement to bond, the price is cheaper in comparison, and the effect can be twice the result with half the effort.

The name of Huajin City, Shu Han, has not changed, and still takes the original name, which can be regarded as a recitation for himself, and at the same time, Shu Han did not let the army stay here, and after one arrived, Shu Han immediately asked Zhang Ruoming and Lin Bida and others to lead the troops to explore the surrounding areas to understand the surrounding situation as soon as possible, and at the same time Shu Han needs more population, now he only has fifty or sixty thousand in his hands, there is a lot of land here that needs people to plant, and at the same time, Shu Han also needs a lot of people to mine the surrounding mineral deposits, The population of the entire city is only two or three thousand, and now in Joaquin City, everything has just begun.

As for finding these savage city-states, in fact, there is no imaginary difficulty, the original lofty mountains, in the face of today's firearms, is not a combination of enemies at all, with powerful firepower, even those ferocious beasts are difficult to resist the power of these firearms, of course, these muskets can only deal with those fierce beasts, if you encounter those ferocious monsters, the musket is not in a rut, otherwise the original human civilization and modern society, how can such a high-tech weapon be destroyed, the earth has long been controlled, There can be no end times.

But now after hundreds of years of development, these demonic beasts have already been hidden, ordinary people are almost difficult to find them, and they are hidden deep in the mountains, ordinary people can't see them at all, and these places, Shu Han doesn't often go, they often search at the edge of some forests, and when they find that the number of fierce beasts is gradually decreasing, they immediately turn around and no longer investigate deeper, so as not to provoke the existence that should not be encountered.

In this way, some places have naturally become forbidden areas, but there are also some places that can continue to be explored, especially along the relics of civilization left by humans in the Muge era, those viaducts and highways, and the wreckage of high-speed rail, although more than 300 years have passed, these things are no longer usable, but relying on China's strong infrastructure capabilities, these things have not been completely eliminated from the earth, just like the Joaquin City where Shuhan is located today, there are ruins of the former Joaquin City around, The building is full of all kinds of reinforced concrete, but the people have disappeared.

And Shu Han's hope is placed on the surrounding villages, towns and counties, these places may still have people to survive or not, Joaquin is mountainous, except for a plain, the rest of the place is mountainous, in this big mountain, as long as you hide, it is difficult for you to find them, so Shu Han sent people to find, basically within a range of more than 100 kilometers nearby, as for the outside, Shu Han is not at ease, after all, it is about 500 kilometers away from the Black Iron City, and it is almost to the southern Zhejiang region, where the forests and mountains are too dense, There were hardly any roads to take, and in this situation, it would be very dangerous, so Shuhan did not approach further south, but mainly looked in the surrounding and eastern directions, and the south and west sides were abandoned because of the high mountains. come

And going east, Shu Han really found a lot of tribes in these small hills, but these can indeed only be called tribes, their number is generally one or two thousand, at most only two thousand people, gathered in some ravines and ravines, with the terrain to occupy favorable terrain, so as to ensure their independence, Shu Han thought, I am afraid that after the disaster, the descendants of those who escaped from Joaquin City, the number of these people is not much, but if the number of these tribes is gathered together, it is still very considerable.

They occupy a favorable terrain, but in front of firearms, obviously do not have much effect, and because of the small population, they have hardly inherited any technology from their ancestors, and after leaving the territory of Joaquin City, they exist in the local towns and villages, and many things are not available at all.

As for why they didn't come back to the plains, it wasn't that they didn't want to, but they really couldn't do it, when Shu Han and the others came to the plains, there were more than 20 fierce beasts of all sizes here, that is, there were mutations in their bodies, and there were special abilities like Skywalkers, such animals were no longer something that ordinary people could deal with, even if they were Skywalkers, if they wanted to deal with them, they had to spend some effort, but fortunately, their IQ was not particularly high, under Shu Han's efforts, Separate these fierce beasts and deal with each other, so as to clear this area, and at the same time, in order to increase the number of Skywalkers on their side, they directly gave the inner dan of these fierce beasts to many strong soldiers to eat, some people did not survive, and were directly blown to pieces by the domineering power in them, and some people survived and became Skywalkers, there are four such characters, two of which are from savages.

I have to say that their physical fitness is indeed much better, or most of the Skywalkers of the Savage Tribe have come like this for hundreds of years, you must know that the Savage Tribe has a population of only more than 30,000 people even in its heyday, but it has no less than the number of Skywalkers in Black Iron City, and Skywalkers must have enough food and clothing to be able to awaken their talents, and with their survival in the wild, most of them are in a situation where they are not well fed and clothed, how can they have enough food and clothing.

Therefore, most of the Skywalkers of the savages became Skywalkers by swallowing the Nedan of the fierce beast, although such Skywalkers are inferior to the awakened Skywalkers themselves in terms of pure strength, because Skywalkers like Zhang Ruoming, their power comes from themselves, which is completely their own, and there will be no conflict between the two sides, and the Nedan who swallows the fierce beasts will have inconsistent attributes, because everyone is actually talented, and whether they can awaken or not depends entirely on their own ability and chance.

But those who don't awaken don't mean that they don't have talent, but that the talent is hidden under mediocrity, in this case, blindly let a person have the ability of a fierce beast, there will naturally be a situation of unadaptability, and it is precisely because of this that most people will die in the process, only a few people can survive, and savages are often treated like this, so their bodies are more able to accept these changes in Neidan compared to others.

Originally, Black Iron City didn't know that swallowing Inner Dan could turn into Skywalker, but after defeating the wild man, Black Iron City naturally got this secret recipe from the wild man, and often hunted and killed the surrounding fierce beasts, but unfortunately, the surrounding fierce beasts have already been killed, and almost all of them have been extinct for hundreds of years, and if you want to obtain the fierce beast Inner Dan, you can only go outside to kill, but now all the Skywalkers are confronting the people of the Holy Alliance with Liu Sanyi, so it is very difficult to obtain Inner Dan.

And now, Shu Han independently of Liu Sanyi's troops to operate in the south, naturally there is an entrance to obtain the Inner Dan, and these Inner Dan can often be sold at a very high price, one can often reach the price of one or two thousand, Shu Han also sold some of it, after all, he needs a lot of money to build a new city, and at the same time, he also handles the relationship with these families in this way, which is undoubtedly extremely important for Shu Han.

And he himself left eight, four of which failed, and Nedan was directly blown into pieces with the explosion of the people, while the remaining four were all successful, one of them could control the trees, and the other three inherited the appearance of the beast and became the beast-like Skywalker, which greatly increased the strength of Shu Han's side, and when dealing with these small tribes around him, it can be said that he was able to capture it.

In just three months, almost all of the more than a dozen tribes around Huajin City were exterminated by Shu Han, and the population of more than 30,000 people was obtained, for these people, most of the young and middle-aged people were sent to various mines to be responsible for mining, and the old and weak women and children were sent to various villages to be responsible for farming, with the existence of these people, the population of Huajin City gradually increased to 90,000 people, which is undoubtedly a very good result for a city that has just been established.

And Shu Han also used the face he got from those families, as well as Zhang Ruoming, Yang Yi and other old family children, to relocate part of the industrial line to Huajin City, or to reproduce one, otherwise everything would have to be bought from Black Iron City, which was too expensive for Shu Han, on the other hand, he also took advantage of this peaceful time to recuperate his body, and handed over the work to Chang Ke, Zhang Song and others as much as possible.

This also made his body grow a lot in the recent period, from the original one meter seven or less, now there is about one meter seven or eight, although it has not reached the height of Shu Han in the previous life, but to be able to reach this level at this age, Shu Han is already very satisfied.
