Chapter 627: Construction

Xia He returned to Sun City, and there happened to be two fleets going to Cape Stormwind to upgrade, and the First Expeditionary Force was directly transferred to Cape Storm. Moreover, the size of the First Expeditionary Force will be expanded to 12,000 people, which is not enough.

Xia He went to the world of science and technology, and knew that the number of expeditionary forces could not be too small, 100,000 people was not too much, but he was an elite soldier policy, and in the future, auxiliary puppets and robots should be added, and the number of human soldiers must be controlled below 100,000.

Others want a large army, but Xia He only needs the skeleton of a large army.

On weekdays, robots and puppets are used to assist soldiers, and when it is really necessary to expand the army, veterans can be allowed to fight with new recruits.

These 12,000 men will be expanded into three expeditionary regiments in the future. Alyssa has agreed to serve as the commander of the Second Expeditionary Legion. In this way, Xia He has three legendary legion commanders, and the remaining three can take their time.

On the side of the expeditionary force, the main framework can be completed in two years.

Rawls and Marcus are both reusable, and Alyssa already has a soul origin and can also hold important positions.

Twelve thousand people, which can be divided into three parts, for each expeditionary force, there are four thousand people.

Xia He formed an expeditionary force to expedition to the world behind the goblin ruins, which was the most important thing for him, but now that the world is so chaotic, he can't draw too many people. The Underworld, Cape Storm, and Rhode Island, nothing can happen in any location.

When Xia He returned, Freya asked him what the first thing to deal with was at the moment.

Xia He thought for a moment and said, "I think so, there is no order, our forces are originally very scattered, and everything that needs to be done must be done in place." The underground world is very stable, and the goddess of doom can handle it, but what about the Lilac County King...... There will be no movement in the veins for the time being, and I don't plan to invest in it, as long as the mining is accelerated. ”

"We have too few people. Freya said.

"Isn't there that Golden Dragon Family, they should still have some troops, and they will be incorporated into them. ”

"You're coming!"

"Yes, I will personally deal with this matter and co-opt that family, you know, in the end, the emperor is too lazy to do it, and what they mortals need, they can meet them. Because we don't need to fight ourselves. ”

"Alright, my lord, come quickly. ”

"What's the hurry, I'll deal with the matter here, and two or three days will pass. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you. Freya said happily.

Xia He also took out the map, and his territory is now very large, because Dragon Island is also his. The Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital only deals with aristocratic documents, which no longer means much to him. Because the country he wants to build is ultimately the pattern of Shenzhou, and there is no hereditary aristocracy.

On the Storm Corner, the academy is the core, and Freya is in charge of the academy, and actually controls the Taiyin Immortal Mansion.

Dragon Island is temporarily managed by Lynch, and the underworld is handed over to the goddess of doom.

The real operation of the Duke's Palace is still on the side of Sun City, and a complete framework team is needed.

Xia He didn't pay attention to it before, it was because of lack of manpower, and now that he has a lot of legends, he has to consider the next step in construction and development.

Xia He looked at the map and drew a circle on the location of the commercial port in the south of Sun City.

The construction of Little Blue Moon City here, as the political and economic center of Rhode Island, is only sixty miles away from Sun City, and the Sun City can be bombarded by the Sun City.

The Duke's Palace should have a complete inner circle, responsible for politics and diplomacy, and the operation of the territory.

Rhode Island is mountainous, and from Sun City to Liumian City, a road is carved out in the middle of the mountains, connecting the east and west.

However, there is still a long and narrow plain near the sea on this side of Sun City, but there is no depth.

The Xia River draws a line along the coast, from the northern part of Rhodes Island to the southern end. Then he made a drawing on it and threw it to Goliath.

Goliath looked at the drawings and said, "My lord, is this necessary?"

Xia He wants to build the Great Wall on Rhode Island.

The Great Wall encircles the entire huge island, which can be said to be a huge project, and I don't know what the significance is.

"Goliath, do you know how much raw coal residue our alchemy factory produces every day?"

Golia shook her head, Xia Hedao: "I don't know, anyway, there are a lot, the amount of these raw coal residues is huge, except for building the city wall, I don't know what to do, if this thing is built into a magic tower, it is not as good as a lot of stone, although it must also be a qualified thing, but no magician is willing to use it." ”

Gloria nodded, and she refused to use it, because it was the minimum standard.

"I built the Great Wall mainly because the world is not peaceful and more troublesome than you think. Rhode Island itself can feed a large number of people, as long as they are willing to invest, there are enough food factories. However, the topography of Rhode Island made it difficult for ordinary people to travel freely, and I built the Great Wall of the island, so I built tracks and steel trains inside the Great Wall. ”

"Goblin stuff?"

"It's much cheaper than the goblins, it's very cost-effective to transport supplies, and with such railroad tracks, the cost of living in Rhodes can be reduced. ”

"I understand that the track follows the Great Wall and will not be easily destroyed. ”

"That's right, the Great Wall itself is also a road, and it is also a military project, and when there is a war, it can also protect the track. I hope that Rhode Island will be a good place to live in the future. Now you look at the mountains, but the scenery is good, when people don't worry about food and clothing, these mountains will become a good place to play. But first, we have to protect our Rhode Island. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it. ”

Xia He brushed the map of Rhode Island and added some drawings.

Rhode Island is huge, but the products are not abundant, so when there was no capital investment before, it was quite poor, and it was impossible for you to sell resources.

However, after the investment, it is different, on the side of Little Blue Moon City, if it weren't for the flying battleships produced by Sun City, it would not have much commercial value.

Therefore, Xiahe wants to maintain the military industry on the side of Little Blue Moon City, and then establish a commercial port at the southern tip of Rhode Island.

In the southern part of Rhode Island, the terrain is still very flat, but the climate is not good, there will be typhoons, and there will be heavy rains in summer, and agriculture that depends on the weather for food cannot develop at all.

However, it is possible to build an industrial city here and form a huge industrial circle.

Then directly build a magic port and sell the industrial products produced.

If you want to do this, you can't rely on resources, you must have talents.

It turned out that Xiahe didn't have this condition, but now that more than a million mechanical beings have come to settle down, that's fine. Xia He doesn't expect to make a fortune with this, but this kind of design can cultivate talents.

The eastern part of Rhode Island is the political center, the southern part is the manufacturing center, the western part is a training camp, the central part is agricultural, and the northern part is also close to the northern part of the empire, so you can enter the ice field along the coast, and there are still many resources to be developed in the ice field.

As long as you have enough machines, it doesn't matter if the development costs are high on the icesheet.

Xia He felt that it was unwise to enter the half-elf empire in a big way now. There must be a deep reason for the royal family's refusal to make a big move. But there are more and more people on his side, and the number of professionals has skyrocketed, and if he doesn't do something, it will be a harm to his own territory.

So he decided to build infrastructure and make Rhode Island more lively first.

The construction of the Great Wall, which can train skilled workers and lay railroad tracks, can reduce the cost of internal circulation of goods in Rhode Island.

Human resources are only valuable when they are in operation, and if they are in place, it is a waste of food. And how could his people, who owed him too much debt, afford to pay them back if they were not allowed to work?

In Xiahe's plan, Rhode Island will end up being a symbol.

It symbolizes the strength and wealth of the dukedom and is a model project.

Then Xia He summoned his important professionals at the Duke's Palace. Even Nietzsche from the south came.

Xia He talked with these people for a whole day before leaving Rhode Island and reaching Stormstorm Point through the teleportation array.

Come to Storm Point again, Xia He is in a happy mood.

Because Stormstorm Horn is now finally his own, and after the temple power is withdrawn, the construction here is much better than that of Sun City.

The statue of the goddess of fortune was removed, but the entire temple area was not destroyed too much.

After the renovation here, a metal tablet was erected in the position of the main shrine, which recorded the story of the goddess of wealth who once spread her teachings here.

The temple was empty, but the surroundings were being used.

Freya built a fort here, because the Temple of Fortune was originally high, much higher than the position on the port side. If a fort is built here, the entire harbor will be under control. It is not so easy for the enemy's ships to get closer.

On the side of the Temple of Doom, a metal tablet was also left, and eventually all the power of the temple was withdrawn.

There is no commercial trade here, and Freya plans to transfer the trade to Dragon Island. This is the territory of the Academy of Magic, and then the naval and expeditionary forces of the Duke's Court.

The northern part of Cape Storm is surrounded by mountains, and the environment is much harsher than Rhode Island, not that there is no development value, at least at the moment it is meaningless. Freya was just close to Cape Storm, leveling some hills and setting up a magic circle to serve as a landing and take-off location for the flying fleet.

Then the style of the whole Cape Storm, close to the city of Juno.

Actually, this is the style of some cities in the city of Shen Zhou. The eaves are gorgeous and full of charm.

And the coastline that surrounds Cape Storm, with the exception of the port, has been artificially transformed. All the solitary peaks and boulders have been modified into fortresses in the style of Juno City according to the topography. Where there is dirt, try to arrange the magic plants.

There will still be storms coming in Storm Corner, so these magic plants must also be of special varieties and not afraid of wind and rain.
