Chapter 63: Building Territories
Compared to Gu Mi, these leaders are worried.
Most of the survivors were overjoyed to hear these three world announcements. They completely ignored the first two announcements and only focused on the third one.
Although there are no specific coordinates, it roughly marks the location of the only seven survivor territories currently.
And according to the name of the territory, or the name of the lord, many people can guess which country the territory was established by.
Especially the "Prosperous and Powerful Territory" and the "Democratic Territory", which are too strong to be seen, most of the survivors of the flower-growing country can't ignore it, and the "Hope Territory" that ranks first is also very friendly to them.
People always like to hug.
Especially with close ones.
And without close people, in a strange world where you are unfamiliar, it will make you feel more cordial and reassuring to meet people from the same place and the same country as you.
This is the role of Cheng Kekou's phrase 'folks'.
And most people will take it for granted that it is better to stay in the territory built by the compatriots than to go to other people's territory to be bullied and oppressed.
So without thinking about it, many people who are still wandering outside, or who are not living well in some territories, began to inquire about the approximate location of their target territory one by one.
If they don't know what the system has reported, the Ekra Great Forest and the Nanli Prairie are all vast and despairing places?
knew.
But people always need to have a hope and a goal.
If they don't look for it in person, how do they know they can't find it?
Maybe?
Maybe a blind cat meets a dead mouse, and it's not necessarily for them. Anyway, many people are reluctant to give up this possibility without trying it.
Because they are so desperate that they have no choice.
It can even be said that this world announcement is a timely rain for many people who have already felt that they can't stand it anymore, giving them the dawn of moving forward in time and giving them the motivation to continue to support.
Because, they may still find the place called 'home'.
From this moment on, a mass migration of people began to brew.
Gu Mi was not aware of this trend for the time being. After a brief worry, she quickly put aside her worries and concentrated on the large-scale construction of the territory.
By the way, before building, she still has one thing that needs to be used on the territory.
With one move of both hands, an extra treasure box appeared in Gu Mi's palm.
This is not the treasure chest rewarded by the system, but the treasure chest she got from the treasure trove of the slave traders.
When he opened the broken lock on it, a ball of light exuding mysterious power was reflected in Gu Mi's eyes, and the light emitted from it slightly illuminated the dark room.
- Broken Territory Core.
This is the most valuable treasure that Gu Mi has obtained from the treasures of the slave traders.
Gu Mi didn't want to enable it so soon.
Because the old village chief once reminded Gu Mi that if you want to upgrade the territory from the village to the town level, it is no longer just a matter of paying a large amount of money.
To upgrade the territory above the town level, you need to sacrifice at least one lord level item.
It contains the core of the territory, the lord's order, or enough expansion cards, etc.
No matter what items are sacrificed, there is one thing in common.
The better the sacrificed items, the stronger the territory will be when it is upgraded.
Among them, the complete territorial core is naturally the highest-level sacrifice, and the broken territorial core is second.
Gu Mi knew how rare the territorial core was, so she wanted to keep this broken territorial core to use when the territory was upgraded, but now she found that time waits for no one.
The world is getting more and more dangerous, and survival is getting more difficult. She must do everything she can to speed up the development of the territory. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the territory, no matter how much you keep these good things, you won't be able to use them. Use it early when you use it.
For today's plan, only enhancing the strength of the territory is the fundamental.
As for the sacrifices to be used for future upgrades?
Since she can get the first one, she can naturally find a way to get the second one. Now that the territory has just been upgraded, there is still a distance from the next level, so she is not in a hurry.
So...
Gu Mi firmly held up the core of the broken territory in the treasure chest and placed it in his heart.
The core of the Hope Territory exists here.
Perceiving the existence of another unowned and broken territory core, I hope the core of the territory suddenly becomes restless.
It thumped and vibrated with the rhythm of Gu Mi's heartbeat, and a dazzling halo seeped out of it, gradually wrapping the core of the broken territory in Gu Mi's hand and sucking it into it.
"Ding, the core of the Broken Territory was swallowed successfully, and the obtained territorial energy is 700 points, which can be used to expand the territory and upgrade the building level. How do I distribute it?"
Gu Mi took a closer look.
It is found that every 1 point of territorial energy can add 1 meter to the length and width of the original area of the territory, and every 100 points of territorial energy can upgrade a building once.
There is no need to hesitate about how to choose between the two options.
She directly selects all to expand the territory!
There is a place to develop.
"Boom..." The darkness that could not see five fingers had not yet dissipated, and the entire territory suddenly shook, scaring many of the territorial residents who were already in shock even more panicked.
Fortunately, their Lord Lord issued an announcement in time.
"Don't be afraid of the expansion of the territory."
With a simple sentence, all the territorial residents settled down, because they knew that the Lord Lord was always guarding them, and that was enough.
It took a full five minutes for the expansion of the territory to finally stop.
Gu Mi glanced at the territory information panel, and sure enough, the territory area above had been updated to "1700m*1700m".
The territory almost doubled in one breath!
As the territory expands, the fence naturally expands with it.
Gu Mi was inexplicably worried about the vines, and deliberately opened the territory map to look at it, and found that the green circle surrounding the entire territory was still tightly wrapped around the wooden fence, without a single gap.
Obviously, with the expansion of the wooden fence, the vine group has also grown and extended a lot.
This can't help but make Gu Mi feel a curiosity in his heart.
I don't know where the limit of the vine group is?
This question only flashed through her mind, and Gu Mi quickly turned her attention to the construction of the territory itself.
Using the authority of the lord, she opened the control panel of the territory, first moved in the tailor shop that had been left at the entrance of the territory, and put it next to the blacksmith shop.
What she wants to develop is the way of all people being soldiers, in which the arena will play a big role on this road, so the existence of the arena is destined that the flow of people around it will not be low.
Relying on this, it is most suitable for the surrounding area to be developed into a territorial business area.
And the open space in front of the arena is facing the gate of the territory. When the commerce in this area develops in the future, when outsiders enter their territory, the first thing they step into is the commercial street.
It is convenient for fooling people to consume, cough.
With the arena and the village affairs center directly behind it as the boundary, the lower part of the left side where the river runs through the gate of the territory is the residential area, and the upper part is the farming area. A part of the farming area is set aside for the development of aquaculture.
This arrangement is to facilitate the development of the business district in the first half of the territory and to promote the economy, and secondly, it is also for the convenience of the residents to assist in guarding the territory.
In the event of a territorial disaster, no one can escape.
The upper part on the right is an industrial area, where the logging and quarry are now located, and the lower part is to be developed into a military base.
In other words, it is a training ground.
In the future, when the territory is large enough, the population is large enough, and the soldier reserves are sufficient, Gu Mi also intends to set up a military base in the four directions, including the four diagonal corners, to guard the territory in all directions.
However, at present, for this territory, which is only 1.7 kilometers straight along the edge, there is no need to build such a huge military defense force.
Of course, even if you want to build them, they don't have that ability.
The main problem is the lack of population.
Their territory is currently only more than 2,000 people. Compared with other territories with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people, they still appear pitifully sparsely populated.
As a result, no matter what you do now, you feel very short of manpower.
With a sigh, Gu Mi, who knew that this problem could not be urgent, began to focus on the territorial planning map that he had drawn earlier to carry out drastic construction of the territory.
First, she moved all the houses she had built before to one side, and then divided the remaining area into two parts. Five rows of ten houses were built on top of one, a total of 50 primary houses.
This part of the residence is also used for rental purposes.
Because the residential buildings belong to the territory, they will be upgraded as the territory is upgraded, so if Gu Mi sells them in the primary residential state, it will be very uneconomical, so she simply turns them into rental houses, which will be used for the territory. generate income.
Another area is the self-built housing area of the residents.
There are only a few scattered houses above. Gu Mi intends to raise the land tax a little bit, and then continue to open up the application for homesteads, so that the residents who want to own their own houses can apply for homesteads and build their own houses.
She knew that her arrangement was equivalent to giving up the big cake of real estate development in disguise, but Gu Mi thought the house was for living, and it had no other purpose. And the income of the territory does not need to rely on selling houses to make money. Arenas, rental houses, taxes, plus future commercial streets, and even loans and the like, these are the sources of money that can flow. After arranging the residential area, Gu Mi placed the 18 pieces of farmland in the open space in the farming area, and then turned to the industrial area. She picked a suitable place and placed the small iron ore concentrate there. This location is not far from the blacksmith shop, so it is convenient to mine the concentrated iron ore from there and transport it directly to the blacksmith shop for processing. In this way, the territory can produce large quantities of weapons and equipment on its own. Gu Mi has yet to get a building like a military camp, so she has no arrangements for the military base area for the time being. After doing this, she took out the five "primary arrow towers" and five "primary turrets" obtained after the territory was upgraded, staggered them at intervals, and placed one on the defensive line on the edge of the territory.
