"In general, the construction of the first phase of Dawning City has been completed, and the total population we can accommodate is currently about 30,000 people. If the second phase is completed, the number can be expanded to 50,000. My advice to Miss Beonlise is that 50,000 people is already the limit of what we can accommodate at this stage, and that there is no need to expand the city if it is not necessary. Instead, we should start with practical and profitable affairs such as the development of factories and resources, after all, the aristocratic lords who have invested in us also hope to see substantial returns soon. Theon smiled and said, "So in the second phase of the urban plan, only one-third of the residential buildings are built. The remainder is the production base of various factories, which can absorb more than 20,000 people from residents to workers. At the current pace, in another three or five months, the second district will be ready for use. Of course, the buildings on Black Rose Avenue had to be renovated, so the whole project would be slightly delayed. ”

Zero nodded and said, "Just go according to your plan, to be honest, you and Beth are experts in this area." ”

Then others made their own progress reports.

After Theon sat down, Brown reported to Zero on the current state of armaments in Dawning City. At the beginning of the construction of Dawning City, there were only a few hundred soldiers pulled by the original company, but now, under the condition that outsiders continue to join. The army of several hundred men has now expanded to more than 3,000 people, and under the principle of more expensive than expensive, Brown has issued very strict indicators to the officers who select soldiers under his command to ensure that the soldiers who join the army have good quality.

And every three months, there will be an assessment. The content of the assessment is divided into 10 subjects, from physical fitness to tactics. Those who fail to meet the assessment standards in two or more subjects will be immediately cleared out of the army. On the other hand, the salary of a soldier in Dawning City is even higher than that of the barracks in Asgard. Under such a system, even if the soldiers of Dawning City have strict enlistment conditions, and if they are not careful, they will be cleared out of the army.

There are still many young people who turn in their applications every month, and it is worth mentioning that the army of Dawning City is very special. They are not made up of pure humans, and there are quite a few aliens among them. This is directly related to the fact that one-third of the proportion of urban residents is of different ethnicity. It can be said that Dawning City was the first city where humans and aliens lived together.

In the beginning, there was conflict between the human inhabitants and the aliens. But after almost a year of running-in, I have basically been able to get along. The blueprint that Zero had conceived before has already filled in part of the picture.

When it comes to the army, it is impossible not to talk about weapons and equipment. This is the responsibility of the Weapons Research Institute presided over by Dr. Kod, and during Zero's trip to the Western Continent, Dr. Kord has been able to raise the equipment used by the Dawning Army by one or two levels. Originally, Zero's own company was an arsenal, but after Dr. Kord took over, he adjusted and optimized the original firearms.

The Darkblood 3 rifle is now standard for soldiers, nearly double in power and accuracy compared to before. As for the sniper rifle, the most powerful at the moment is naturally the improved battleship artillery, but ordinary soldiers can't use this kind of big guy, so Dr. Kord designed a cut-down version of the sniper rifle called the Wasteland Hunter. It retains the long-range advantages of the battleship's guns, but reduces the power and recoil, allowing soldiers to use them freely.

Right now, Brown is training a squad of snipers. The training will be completed in two months, and the members of this squad will be dispersed into the army to serve as a supporter.

After the completion of the second phase of the city's construction, there will be a heavy weapons assembly line factory, and then it will be possible to produce heavy firepower weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy artillery batteries with Dr. Kode's design. In the past six months, Dr. Kord has begun to work on the development of a new combat vehicle. Zero's locomotive was just his handiwork, and the output was not much, only five or six. The latest result is a concept vehicle called the "Sidewinder", which looks like a cross between an off-road vehicle and a tank. The semi-open cockpit of the off-road vehicle was adopted, the tracked propulsion system of the tank. On both sides are large-caliber launchers that can be stretched outward, and the rear car is also equipped with a small missile launch compartment.

This vehicle is also driven by a high-energy system, which makes it more powerful and agile. Dr. Kode designed it to be faster and more powerful. The Sidewinder is currently undergoing final commissioning. After successful commissioning, mass production can be carried out, but with the current level of the arsenal in Aurora, only parts for the vehicle can be produced, and the main engine components will still have to be purchased from the factory in Asgard.

However, after the completion of the construction of the second district and the introduction of new production equipment, Dawning City was able to independently complete the production of this type of combat vehicle. Dr. Corde also designed a cut-down version of the "Flamingo", which was intended to be sold to the wealthy and aristocratic families of Asgard. At present, it is only the secret display of Theon to the two giants, and he has already received orders for 300 vehicles.

Theon added: "This is just the beginning, and it's something substantial that we give back to our business partners. As long as they understand that their investment can be turned into profit from us, there will be more and more such investment. And after the completion of the second district city, there will be more weapons and chariots like the flamingo. However, I personally think that whether it is the wealthy or the official of Asgard, the weapons of war dumped at them should be slightly controlled. Furthermore, what they are really interested in us is the environmental purification technique. ”

"The energy required for the shield of Netheris is very special, and I am afraid that this kind of thing cannot be mass-produced. "Taking over the green capital of Hamermis, Zero still knows something about the shield of Netheres.

"Last time, when the Red Grand Duke personally escorted the Ress Dun that we are currently using in Dawning City, he also brought a team of green capital techniques to stay in Dawning City, and I discussed it with these magicians. Theon smiled: "The complete Ress Shield can't be mass-produced, and such an important core technique can't be completely sold to the giants, even if they may pay more than the official Asgard itself." Therefore, I discussed with the technicians of Midori City whether it was possible to start with the reduction of the performance of Resshield and make a purification device that could be mass-produced. In fact, given the average quality of living things today, it is not necessary to have an old-time surface environment to survive. As long as the current radiation dose is reduced by half, even ordinary people like me can live very well. ”

Zero heard of it, but he didn't think about it. He nodded, motioning for Theon to continue.

"Of course, I'm just coming up with an idea. However, the sorcerers think that it is feasible, but it is not an easy job to reduce the performance of Resdon, and I have arranged a research base for them at present, and I am afraid that it will take some time before the results come out. According to technologists, the most difficult aspect of the cut-down version of Resdon is still energy. At present, they have put forward a relatively mature idea, through a kind of absorption device, the radiation is extracted from the space for conversion, and when it plays the role of synchronous purification, it can also provide the device with clean energy for recycling. Otherwise, the use of other energy sources may cause secondary pollution, which will lose the role and significance of the purification device. ”

Zero nodded, and said to Theon: "It means a lot to cut the version of Resiss, Mr. Theon, you and Bis can relax the research funds in this area appropriately." ”

"We know how to do it. Theon smiled and nodded.

Next came the report of the Burning Legion, which was naturally presided over by Eva. At present, this biological and chemical weapons legion, the blade hunter and the giant shield guard, which have been mass-produced and put into use as a primary biological weapon, have participated in the expansion of Dawning City many times, and have had many actual battles to clean up mutant creatures, so it can be said that they are already very mature biological weapons.

Compared with the biological weapons independently developed by Asgard, the weapons that extract the design blueprint of the biological weapon from the dark crown and then transform and debug them have the highest intelligence and autonomy. And the above two weapons have proved this in many actual battles, especially the battle of the Haraka Theater, which brought the advantages of biological weapons to the extreme.

Right now, Eva is debugging a mid-tier weapon. It appears on a large screen, showing a diorama of this mid-tier weapon. At first glance, it looks like one of those Mutant Domain Demon Clan powerhouses. Humanoid, the surface of the body is covered with biological armor with natural lines. Eva explains that these patterns are actually the energy circuits of biological weapons, and when they are activated and acted, the lines are lit up to form gorgeous magic patterns.

The name of this creature weapon is the Demon Pattern Samurai, and their armor and weapons are naturally generated. Demonic Samurai have a higher level of intelligence, and they can even become field commanders for armies. They are used as nodes, so as to combine with the command terminal to form an effective command network.

It can be said that the appearance of the Demon Warrior will be an important turning point for the Burning Legion, and with the participation of the Demon Warrior, the combat effectiveness of the entire Burning Legion will be doubled. This kind of force is comparable to the enemy's seventh-order ability, and can also act as a biological weapon for the command node, and there are currently five of them that Eva is debugging. After commissioning, they will undergo several combat tests to get more accurate data to adjust before they can be considered for mass production.

At this point, the report from the Dawning City side has largely ended. Zero stood up and said, "All of you have worked hard during this time. I am ashamed to say that as the initiator of the design and planning of Shuguang Urban Construction, I did not participate in its construction process, but entrusted the heavy responsibility of building it to your hands. Fortunately, our trip to the Western Continent was not all for nothing, and the biggest gain was naturally to establish an alliance with the city of Rome in the Western Continent. Practical gains include the Biochemical Warrior Transformation Project led by Dr. Ji Ya, and the pact with Belafar, the Lord of the North Seas, that from now on, we will sail unhindered on the sea. The most immediate benefit is that a group of sea beasts called Seahorses follow us back to Harbour City. They are not combat-type sea beasts, but they have great strength and can tow cargo ships, which will be an important tool for our future sea transportation. ”

Although zero is a few words, everyone who listens is moved. Not to mention the strength of the allied Roman city, the transformation of the biochemical warriors and the acquisition of sea passage alone are already quite significant.
