Chapter 389: Conquest and Sweep (8)

What is the most important and fundamental thing for an organization/faction/civilization/race/clan/team, etc., anytime, anywhere?

Human resources!

This is the root of everything, whether it is humans, even robots, or just the stupidest shells who can only decompose excrement, but also human resources.

More than 70,000 subordinates, as well as those with even more numbers, but they are useless, and are destined to become cannon fodder on the battlefield or the most lowly laborers, are calculated by Zhou Dong separately.

In order to deal with the Sword of Nature, Zhou Dong selected a team of more than a dozen people, and asked Emma and Teasy to take this team to the area of the Wildas Forest and Moss City to investigate the clues about the Spirit Race, after all, in view of the tragic events that happened there not long ago, it was indeed worth visiting.

Zhou Dong has already obtained the most precious wealth on Yongju Island, but the Sword of Nature is still very useful to him, which is equivalent to the bond that connects the elves of Yongju Island, and he may be able to use this relationship at some point.

Now he is very busy, his mind is busy all day long, and now he has so many people that he must make the most of all their value.

After completely conquering the entire Vortex Mountain Range, except for the territory of the Red Dragon, Zhou Dong sent his falcons, with the help of their eyes, to personally select more than ten pieces of land suitable for the development of infrastructure, and distributed a team of personnel constantly.

Infrastructure is not only a foundation for development, but also a project that enhances the sense of belonging and benefits of the people.

Most of Zhou Dong's spiritual and thinking energy was placed in this area, once before the original world had not obtained the time and space factor, his father would often sit in the back of his small courtyard when he had free time, sitting on a large rattan chair that was swaying to and fro, and told him many small stories, one of which was quite impressive even now.

It was when his father was young, and he was still working in a hydropower company, and it was boring and arduous to carry out cascade hydropower development in the depths of the mountains, and the hydropower station had to be built before the construction of the field.

After a long time, the company's colleagues went to talk to the old man and asked the old man why, and the old man replied: It takes a whole day to walk from his village to this valley, including the mountain road to the nearby wharf to transfer the ferry time, hoping to see this bridge can be built in his lifetime, can walk, if the bridge is repaired before the unfortunate early go, he will repair the tomb at the bridge.

Although Zhou Dong's father thought about the scene of repairing the grave at the bridge at that time, and thought it was quite terrifying, but every time he recalled it in the future, the old man's answer mellowed in his heart into a kind of emotional energy that kept stirring and burning in his chest.

In fact, man is eternally lonely because no one can fully empathize with another; However, people are never lonely, because in the process of growing up, the people and things he encounters will become like a shadow of memory information, become the food for his soul, a part of his personality, and every mature person is an aggregate composed of countless people and things he has experienced.

The deeper Zhou Dong's attainments in the spiritual realm, the clearer he understands these seemingly contradictory, but actually true, truths.

The ruthless scientist mother, who is ruthless but willing to open her heart to her relatives, the fair, shrewd and somewhat benevolent businessman father, his father and mother have formed at least half of the weight share of Zhou Dong's personality today, and will also have a deep impact on him in the more far-reaching future, their voices, smiles, and memories of every word and action.

Therefore, although Zhou Dong treated these subordinates as cattle and sheep and was squeezing all their surplus value to his heart's content, he did not hesitate to give them far better living conditions than before.

However, to do a good job in infrastructure and let it develop quickly and well, this world does not necessarily rely on industrial power, and the power of magic can play a part of the help, but the popularity of magic in this world is not at the level of pan-magic in every household, so if you want to make the field of magic industry take shape, you must first popularize magic.

The magic industry can't be started, Zhou Dong now wants all kinds of building materials for infrastructure, basically relying on wood, supplemented by stone, steel, the dwarves' factories are still under construction, and various types of machines are also casting various parts and testing, far from being able to be put into production and use.

As for wood and stone, due to the texture of the stone, Zhou Dong also has a large number of cutting tools with sufficient precision and efficiency due to the fact that the dwarf factory has not been formed and used, so the current infrastructure can only be based on wood.

However, relying on the huge amount of knowledge and information sealed in Zhou Dong's memory bank, if you want to build all kinds of excellent bridges and houses based on wood, you can also find many advantageous designs that can be suitable for the terrain environment in this area in the blink of an eye.

As for the roads, it is necessary to develop reinforced concrete, and in fact, bridges and houses also need this core, otherwise they can only make tofu slag works.

However, technology is one link after another, just like the preconditions of skill in online games, it is a hard requirement, if you want concrete to be applied to infrastructure, you must add steel bars, because pure concrete, that is, plain concrete is easy to crack, and steel bars are also required to have excellent tensile properties/toughness, which requires a certain amount of R&D points to be invested in the technology tree branch of steel manufacturing.

Pure concrete is not made casually, just knowing that sand and water cannot be mixed with excellent quality cement, you have to invest a certain amount of points in the chemical branch of the science and technology tree to develop additives and caulks that are suitable for the world, and the raw materials are easy to obtain and can be refined in large quantities.

All these scientific and technological research and development can be said to be created out of nothing in this world, and Zhou Dong needs to guide his subordinates step by step.

If a group of engineers and civil infrastructure workers can be brought to another world, then under their words and deeds, Zhou Dong's workload will be immediately reduced by more than half.

And now most of Zhou Dong's working time and energy are devoted to "education".

Let these intelligent creatures from another world ...... Needless to say, the wisdom of these two races is at the bottom, and it is impossible for Zhou Dong to waste time on them to continue to develop them.

Then there are the goblins, and the goblins are commonly found in the three branches of bear goblins, big goblins and ordinary goblins, which are only slightly better than the above two races, and they are not far away.

Therefore, Zhou Dong held his head that was about to explode for a week after conquering the Vortex Mountains, because the thinking and calculation were non-stop, resulting in excessive use of computers, accelerating wear and tear and consuming the life performance of the hardware.

"It seems that I am still too naïve, after all, this is the background of the Western Middle Ages, not the background of the modern or near-future world, just the development of people's intelligence is a long work, rather than opening these alien people's wisdom that is only slightly stronger than the beast, it is better to continue to plunder the population."

Zhou Dong sighed and asked all his subordinates to stop working for a day, he had to rest his brain, and re-plan the direction of the entire big plan after waking up.
