Chapter 12 Construction of Railroads
The Holy See Sword Pavilion, the Twelve Priests and Councillors are discussing how to develop such a large piece of land in Sikkim, which is so rare that such a large piece of land is not polluted, not to mention that 80% of such a large piece of land in Sikkim is clean land that can be used to grow crops to maintain the current demand for food in the Church.
The importance of food does not need to be explained at all, the reason why the Dawn Church and the Imperial Capital have been able to occupy the number one power in the Republic is not only because of their strength, but also because they have an unpolluted field that can grow crops that have not mutated, and produce a large amount of food to maintain stability in the area under their jurisdiction.
The granary of Sikkim will play a huge role in consolidating the position of the Dawn Church, and secondly, it will be able to start selling crops in exchange for source cores. The current situation in the republic is generally the same, food is distributed by the base, cannot be bought and sold, and it is basically a distribution system, and the food sources of the base are two, one is to hunt edible beasts, the second is to exchange a large amount of food with the imperial capital and the Dawn Church, and finally to master a small piece of fertile land to produce food.
Needless to say, the role of the source core is that the Dawn Church has to support a large number of knights and priests, as well as tilt resources for the promoted bishops and archbishops, these consumption is extremely terrifying, if it weren't for Vietnam, the imperial capital, and those suppressed and dependent bases to provide a lot of resources, the Dawn Church would have been exhausted long ago.
Therefore, this time, the Lord of Dawn issued an oracle, and the Holy See worked together to fully support the expedition, and even those bases and imperial capitals that heard that the Dawn Church was going to expedition wanted to get together and share a little scraps.
War is the fastest way to obtain resources, and the law of the jungle is embodied.
"The priority is to build a railway. Good communication between Sikkim and Sword Court. The first is to better transport front-line resources. The second is to speed up the construction and development of the granary in Sikkim, so that once the harvest is completed, it can provide a large amount of food for the church, and then exchange a large amount of source nuclei to join the church's finances. ”
Lu Qiguang said eagerly that after he was promoted to the position of archbishop, and then he was promoted to join the Council of Twelve Priests, his foundation was very unstable, so he was eager to find an opportunity to show himself. So as to stabilize their position and add to the foundation.
Construction and construction are his specialties.
"We will not object to this, Your Excellency Archbishop Loh Kai Quang, but you have to solve one thing, and that is the safety of the train, the journey is not from Hanoi to the western province of Vietnam, but in a longer, farther and more dangerous area, so how to deal with the strange beasts and zombies that are attracted by the train every moment? One thing you need to know is the price the Vietnamese government paid for the railroad track from Hanoi to the south of the western province. ”
Shangguan Hongzhuang said, his speed of speech was not fast. This made the eyes of the rest of the archbishops shine.
After Sang Liang, the archbishop, was dispatched to the border area, the Council of Twelve Priests of the Dawn Church was headed by the old man Shangguan Hongzhuang. And now Shangguan Hongzhuang has made it clear that he wants to support Lu Qiguang to stabilize his position, which has allowed them to find a direction, at least the road ahead is not so confused.
"That's right! Your Excellency Archbishop Lu Qiguang, what Archbishop Shangguan said is not a trivial problem! Yu Ruiming stepped forward and said a word of peace, indicating his attitude.
With Yu Ruiming's statement, the other archbishops also stepped forward to express their positions, vigorously supporting Lu Qiguang's proposal to build a railway quickly, and at the same time agreeing with the questions raised by Shangguan Hongzhuang.
Lu Qiguang was affirmed by everyone, so he was naturally a little fluttering, but he was not proud, he tried to maintain his true heart, and thought calmly for a while, and then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Everyone, the seminary has recently released a new high-strength glass, which adds the metal used by war puppets, making the defense and toughness of the glass enough to defend against the full force of seventh-order alien beasts and zombies. ”
"The tunnel-shaped shield made of this glass is enough to resist most zombies and alien beasts, and at the speed of the train, before the alien beasts and zombies break through the glass shield, the train is enough to stay away, and set up stations in each section, so that the shield can be quickly supported and repaired. Moreover, the tunnel shield made of this glass has a very good sound insulation effect, which can avoid attracting a large number of strange beasts and zombies. ”
Lu Qiguang said excitedly, as if he saw the realization of his plan.
"When did the seminary even work out this material?" Shangguan Hongzhuang said suspiciously.
"Your Excellency Archbishop Shangguan, this is a material accidentally developed by the seminary when it dissected the war puppet some time ago, and it can be used in the aerospace field, so it has the full support of the central laboratory of the seminary." Lu Qiguang said respectfully.
"I see, is there already a finished product?" Shangguan Hongzhuang asked again.
Lu Qiguang nodded, "Yes, the seminary is now working on stronger glass materials. ”
"What about the cost?" Shangguan Hongzhuang hesitated for a moment, but still asked, this is the point, if the funds are too heavy, this is something that cannot be done, the church cannot withstand such a toss at present.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Archbishop Shangguan, the cost is very cheap, so I dare to say it." Lu Qiguang grinned, he knew that it was time to leave the construction of the railway to himself.
Shangguan Hongzhuang nodded and said: "In that case, then you go and start doing these things, because His Holiness the Pope has already instructed me to find a way to solve the problem of material transportation before leaving the church, and the maximum resource limit we can give to the seminary is two layers obtained from Sikkim, of course, you can give less." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qiguang was affirmed for the construction of this railway.
After the meeting, Lu Qiguang quickly went to the central laboratory of the seminary and began to discuss the issue of asking price with Vice Dean Ji Wenshu, high-material glass is one thing, and the central laboratory is another thing, not to mention that the construction of this kind of glass tunnel also needs the help of the seminary.
"Your Excellency, the first and a half layers are the final bottom line of the old man, there are no conditions to talk about, if it is lower, you will cancel this plan, if the Pope is to blame it at that time, I will also bear it alone!" Ji Wenshu said impatiently, he was completely dizzy from the young looking archbishop in front of him.
"Good! Deal! Lu Qiguang took a deep breath and made an appearance that he had suffered a big loss.
Ji Wenshu saw Lu Qiguang's appearance, and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, don't pretend, the fat meat in Sikkim that your pastor faction can't swallow, and it will be dispersed to various departments in the end, so it has nothing to do with you if I take a little more, that guy in Shangguan Hongzhuang is thinking about the whole church, what are you distressed about doing architecture!?" ”
When Lu Qiguang heard this, he smiled awkwardly, and his feelings were that he was thinking too much.
……
Naturally, it is not easy to build a railway, and there are more than a dozen tunnels to be dug in the mountains to be blown up, including two rivers, and the shortest completion time is half a year to a year.
Sikkim received an order to immediately send the 50,000 people who were fighting from the small town of Nomisi to the Dawn Church, and the Dawn Church also unceremoniously "bought" all these people, the price of these Sikkim people is much lower than that of the people of the Sword Pavilion and the Imperial Capital, and they only need to pay three meals a day every day, which is difficult to see in Sikkim, and it is quite a luxurious salary.
Outside the Sword Pavilion Castle, a factory was struggling to produce iron sheets, and baskets of iron ore were transported from all directions to enter the factory for smelting.
As the government of Sikkim Picard transported the refugees to the Dawn Church, Lu Qiguang began the project, and he had no sympathy for these hard laborers, because their lives were already much better than those of the people in the remote bases, and he preferred to invite nationals of the Republic if it were not for the sake of development and ease.
Although it is hard labor, it is necessary to pray once every morning, and after a long period of brainwashing, an atheist can become a devout believer, which is proven in practice.
