Chapter Seventy-Six: The South Gate (Four Watches, 300 Monthly Passes Plus)

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Zheng got up early, and according to the sketch drawn by Guo Yun, he came to the location of the outer city wall.

After determining the location of the city wall and the city gate, Tang Zheng began construction.

The walls of this outer city are very important, not only may face the war in the future, but also the façade of Tang Zheng's side.

So Tang Zheng decided to use the ultimate city wall directly.

Open the system and see what's going on with the ultimate wall.

[Ultimate city wall: 20 meters high, 10 meters thick, reinforced concrete structure, priced at 100 gold per meter. 】

This is the price of direct construction without the use of building materials.

Tang Zheng added building materials again, and the price changed.

[Ultimate city wall: 20 meters high, 10 meters thick, reinforced concrete structure, priced at 10 gold per meter. 】

The base that Tang Zheng wants to build is a rectangle.

According to the plan, the length of the city is five kilometers from east to west and two kilometers from north to south.

In this case, the length of the ultimate wall is 14,000 meters.

One hundred gold per meter, this circle of city walls alone costs one hundred and forty thousand.

With the use of building materials, 140,000 can enclose the city wall.

Of course, the actual price will exceed this price, because there are still gates to be built, and sentry towers and dark fortresses need to be built, and this price cannot be taken.

Using building materials, Tang Zheng first chose a city gate.

This gate is the south gate of the future city.

[City Gate (Water Gate): It can be placed in the city wall, with an alloy structure, and the price is 200 gold per meter. 】

Tang Zheng thought about it for a while and decided to set this city gate fifty meters wide.

The width of 50 meters is enough for vehicles to enter and exit, and it is also very atmospheric, so it is more suitable as a façade.

clicked, and most of the steel materials he obtained here were immediately consumed, and at the same time, a considerable part of the masonry and cement were also consumed.

At the same time, the funds were also deducted 1,000 gold, and if no building materials were used, this gate would be 10,000 gold.

Placed.

With a bang, a huge wall appeared.

The walls were fifty meters long, twenty meters high, and ten meters thick.

There is a huge iron gate in the center, the iron gate is lifting, and there is a winch on the left and right sides of the city wall, which can pull the gate up to a height of ten meters.

There is no lock, and there is no such thing as unlocking, so it is almost impossible to break it head-on.

Tang Zheng walked over, this city gate was made of alloy pillars with a thickness of nearly half a meter, and the density of the pillars was so dense that the human body could not pass through it at all.

Moreover, the smooth surface of the column is not forced, and it is almost an indestructible existence, even if it is bombarded with cannons, the result is the same.

Looking up at the top of the city gate, Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh at Guo Yun's design.

Twenty meters high walls, nineteen meters are smooth surfaces that are difficult to climb.

At the top of the city wall, there is a protruding stone that protrudes about half a meter outward.

This bulge alone has become difficult to climb, and even if someone can climb the city wall, it will be difficult to climb over this bulging stone, which has no focus point and cannot be used for climbing.

Tang Zheng came to the back of the city wall, where there were steps to climb back and forth, and Tang Zheng walked up.

Above the city walls, there are also battlements like the ancient city walls, in which warriors can shoot calmly, and the battlements can provide cover for their bodies.

The thickness of the city wall at the foot reaches 10 meters, there are battlements on the outside, and there is a parapet wall on the inside that is 1 meter and 3 meters high to prevent people from accidentally falling from above.

The actual road is about nine meters wide, and running two cars side by side is a breeze.

Standing on top of the city wall and looking down, the view from the south is unobstructed.

The Fengming River meanders and flows into the distance.

To the south is a vast plain, and you can see far away.

Tang Zheng looked at the bare city wall and turned on the system again.

[Watchtower: Can be built on top of the Fortified City Wall and the Ultimate City Wall, equipped with a high-power searchlight, and costs 100 gold. 】

Tang Zheng ordered a sentry tower, came to the east side of the city gate, and placed one first.

With a bang, a sentry tower rose above the base of the city wall.

The watchtower was fifteen meters high, supported by four pillars, ten meters high, and was erected on either side of the wall, and was entirely made of reinforced concrete.

Near the inside, there is an iron ladder that can be climbed to the top, which is ten meters high.

Tang Zheng climbed up the ladder and came to the top of the sentry tower.

This is a relatively large interior space, with a one-meter-three-high parapet wall, and there are tables and chairs to rest in.

And on the southern parapet, a high-power searchlight was erected.

The wires had already been connected, Tang Zheng walked over and turned on the searchlight.

A bright light shot out, and even on a bright morning, a pillar of light could be seen shining far away.

And this height is already more than 30 meters, and looking far away from here, it is even more distant.

"Good fellow, put some of these watchtowers on top of the city walls, it's too hard for others to get close to here."

Coming down from this watchtower, Tang Zheng came to the west side of the city wall and placed a second watchtower.

After that, he came down from the top of the city wall and placed two machine-gun bunkers on the left and right sides of the city gate.

A machine-gun bunker, embedded directly within the city walls.

Inside there is a small hiding room with beds and electric lights, which can accommodate four people to rest in it.

There is a shooting hole on the side near the gate, and a thick metal plate is inlaid around it, so that the defense of the wall will not be reduced by sacrificing the space inside the wall.

In this way, the construction of the South Gate is completed.

Whether above or below the city gates, the defense system has been basically perfected.

Even Tang Zheng couldn't imagine that apart from those modern heavy weapons, there was anything else that could pose a threat here.

Returning to the city gate again, Tang Zheng clicked on the city wall and began to continue to place it.

Place one meter, and the road under your feet will extend one meter outward.

Placed ten meters, the road under your feet extends ten meters outward.

Seeing that this huge project could be built by himself, Tang Zheng was also very excited, and kept clicking and placing it.

On the left and right, when they were each placed about fifty meters, Tang Zheng stopped.

Because there are not enough building materials.

Think about it, this kind of city wall with a height of 20 meters and a thickness of 10 meters is very material-intensive.

Tang Zheng was a little unhappy, and even wanted to buy it without using materials and directly using system funds.

But he still forced this thought, and patiently waited for the convoy that had gone out early in the morning to return.

When it was time to get to noon, the convoy returned.

This time, two combat platoons and an engineer platoon were almost all dispatched, close to fifty heavy trucks, and brought back a large amount of construction materials.

When the materials came back, Tang Zheng immediately greeted him excitedly, and he couldn't take care of lunch and started a new round of construction.

By the time the carrying warriors had finished eating, they found that the wall of the south gate had been expanded to nearly five hundred meters wide.

After consuming all the building materials, Tang Zheng walked back unsatisfied.

The 500-meter-wide wall acts as a huge natural barrier separating the inside and outside of the base.

Just sitting here gives people an infinite sense of security.

After sitting down, Ning Yuwei took out a box of lunches from her arms and handed it to Tang Zheng.

"General, eat it while it's hot, I've been holding it, and it's still warm."

Tang Zheng nodded, took the lunch box, smelled it, and there seemed to be a fragrance.

opened the lunch box and ate it, Tang Zheng said to the people around him at the same time: "After eating, I will collect it, this time the third row will also follow, bring all the heavy trucks over, and it will take half a day to go back and forth, so as to maximize the benefits as much as possible." ”

"Okay general."

Several platoon commanders nodded their heads, and then got up and set off.

Three combat platoons and sapper platoons left, and it was quiet again.

Tang Zheng, who didn't have anything to do, took the people from the guard squad to the location of the home he reserved for himself.

It is close to Guyun Mountain, about two kilometers from the location of the southern city wall.

The terrain here is a little higher, and from here, the wall built on the south side has become smaller.

Near the side of the mountain, there is a waterfall falling from the sky.

Even at the source of the Fengming River, mountain streams and mountain snowmelt converge to form this waterfall.

For thousands of years, a pool of water has been washed out of the bottom of the waterfall, with a diameter of nearly 100 meters.

Standing on the shore, the waterhole is crystal clear, and the maximum depth is about 10 meters, and you can see small fish swimming inside.

There are not too many weeds on the shore, and there are some wild fruit trees, and the smell of fruit and cool water vapor is refreshing.

Thinking of living here every day in the future, Tang Zheng also felt beautiful.

He stayed here to enjoy a leisurely time, and Ji Yuntian scattered with the soldiers to check the situation around him.

Only Ning Yuwei followed Tang Zheng's side, walking slowly.

After all, Ji Yuntian is the squad leader, and Ning Yuwei is now just a personal guard, and her task is to follow Tang Zheng and protect safety.

"Yuwei, go and drive the Willis Jeep, I'll sit here for a while."

"Okay."

Ning Yuwei went to pick up the car, and it was not far away.

Tang Zheng was walking alone on the edge of the waterhole, and at this time, he suddenly saw that something seemed to be on the waterfall and fell down with the water.

In a flash, it fell directly into the pool, and then followed the current and rushed directly to the Fengming River.

At this moment, Tang Zheng saw it clearly.

It was a wooden box.

Tang Zheng paused for a moment, and then heard the prompt sound from the system Mengmeng.

"Attention General, there is a supply crate refresh, right near you, moving away. Moving away. ”

Looking at the wooden box that was going down the river, Tang Zheng suddenly became anxious.

The supply box was refreshed into the river, and it was even tempted to run.

At this moment, Ning Yuwei came back in a Willis jeep, and Tang Zheng immediately jumped on it.

"Chase! Don't let that crate run away! ”
