Chapter 108: Construction and Upgrade
It took three days to finally expel all the large beasts and demon beasts in the territory.
In fact, there are not many monsters that have been encircled by the expansion of the territory, which may be because of the beast tide that broke out just a few days ago.
Even in this world, both wild beasts and monsters breed very quickly, comparable to the rabbits in Gu Mi's original world, but it will take some time to reach a certain scale.
So this time the cleanup was pretty easy.
The security risks in the territory are resolved, and then the construction can continue.
In the dead of night, Gu Mi was alone in his lounge, sitting cross-legged on the bed. In front of him was a large, unfolded virtual screen that displayed three-dimensional graphics of the entire territory.
It looks a bit like a virtual model.
Gu Mi stretched out his hand and clicked on the other side of the residential area. He designed 200 sets of tree-top dwellings in succession, and arranged 250 sets of dwellings in a patchwork pattern in the ground gap between the big trees. Residential houses are rounded up to 500 integers.
Trees need to be big enough to support tree houses, so the number of tree-top dwellings is relatively small.
The roots of these log cabin-style dwellings are among the dense forests, and they look like the kind of characteristic forest-style homestays, which are very artistic.
It just so happened that many of the residents in their territory belonged to the races in the forest. Not only would they not be unaccustomed to living in this kind of house, they might even like it.
The only small downside is that the treetop house is not equipped with a ladder to go up.
The system building is really just building a house for you on a tree. As for how you want to climb up, it is not included in the building package.
Fortunately, this problem is not difficult to solve.
As long as people build a vine ladder or a wooden ladder embedded in the trunk, they can easily climb up, and there are many people who are good at climbing trees in their territory.
For example, cat orcs, half-elves, forest fairies, etc., they can climb trees by themselves without a ladder, and those with griffins can also fly up on griffins.
Anyway, this little trouble, everyone has a way to solve it, and there is no need for Gu Mi to worry about it.
She just needs to think about how to rent out these houses and convert them into territorial income.
Yes, all the residential houses built in this batch are rental houses.
Even knowing that the territory will welcome a large number of new people, Gu Mi does not plan to increase the number of free resettlement houses.
As a result, these resettlement houses are now basically empty, and even if the new colonists need it, they can live in them.
Second, the role of the resettlement house is only a transition in the early stage. It cannot always provide free living for the residents. When this group of residents who need to transition move out, the resettlement house will be vacant again, and the arrangement will be made. Building too many resettlement houses, even if the territory's finances can afford it, will affect the territory's fiscal revenue, and it will also occupy the limited land in the territory.
The territory is not a charitable organization, it can give certain benefits and privileges to the residents, but it is also limited.
After building the residential area, Gu Mi easily moved the research institute out of it and placed it next to the village affairs center, which was considered to be included in the core area of the territory.
The hospital remains in place, so that the residents can see a doctor nearby.
On the other side of the business district, Gu Mi added two more junior tailor shops.
The population of the territory has increased, and the demand for clothing has naturally increased, so it is necessary to add two more tailor shops.
If it wasn't for the blacksmith's blueprints on hand, Gu Mi would like to add a few more. In fact, compared with the demand for clothing, the weapons and some metal equipment produced by the blacksmith's shop are naturally more popular.
Although the tailor shop can actually produce some clothing equipment, after all, the equipment material is not only metal.
Animal hides, sackcloth, etc. can also be used to make equipment.
However, this type of equipment focuses on the basic role of clothing such as comfort and warmth, and it is not as good as metal equipment in terms of defense.
Thinking of the blacksmith shop, Gu Mi suddenly remembered the pile of buildings that he had demolished from the ruins on the seabed, and quickly opened the several fallen card books containing these buildings and checked them one by one.
"Building Dwarf Forge"*300.
"Building·Dwarf Shop"*150
"Building·Dwarven Restaurant"*50
"Building·Three-story Red Brick Building"*1000
"Building·Underlying Organ Track Section"*6000
"Building·Sarkles Furnace"*1
...
There are naturally many buildings originating from an entire city. Even though the area of the ancient dwarf capital of Ayalan is actually not large, it is only equivalent to a high-end town, but it was still torn down by Gu Mi. Building to come.
It's just that these buildings are just buildings, and the system does not rate them, which means that they cannot be included in the system buildings and will be upgraded with the upgrade of the territory.
Gu Mi simply didn't care.
To be honest, the quality of the buildings obtained from the ancient dwarf capital is better than many high-end buildings in her territory.
Regardless of the rest, just take a three-story red brick building and a high-end residential house that is only a one-story, three-bedroom cabin. It is also a place for people to live. Who is better?
I believe anyone with eyes can see it.
So even if there is no rating, these buildings are of good quality and can be placed directly in the territory.
But the territory is currently limited, and complete resettlement is impossible, so Gu Mi thought about it and then...
gave up temporarily.
She plans to build other buildings that can be upgraded with the upgrade of the territory first, then upgrade the territory, expand the territory again, and then arrange these dwarf buildings.
There was nothing to build in the commercial area for the time being, so Gu Mi turned his attention to the open space that she had reserved next to her to serve as a military base in the territory.
The "primary barracks blueprint" that was traded with the rich and powerful territories before came into use.
Gu Mi immediately built two military camps.
One in front and one behind, one is located at the entrance of the territory, and the other is located at the rear of the territory, that is, a little further past the industrial area. There is an industrial area between the two military camps.
This arrangement is that Gu Mi intends to open another city gate at the back of the only entrance to the territory, forming a pattern of two city gates in the front and rear.
Therefore, the guarding forces of the two entrances and exits have to be arranged.
With the expansion of the territory, it is impossible to have only one entrance, not to mention that it is not convenient for the soldiers to go out to fight the invasion of foreign enemies, and it is also inconvenient for the citizens and foreigners to enter.
Therefore, it is necessary to open an additional gate.
Even when the territory expands to a certain extent, perhaps reaching the city level, Gu Mi will also open a city gate to the four directions of the territory's south, south, and northwest.
Just like any other large territory she had seen before.
Of course, given the current size of Hope Territory, it only needs two city gates.
After setting up the barracks, Gu Mi took out the "Lianzhu Arrow Tower Drawing".
"Lianzhu Arrow Tower blueprint (intermediate building): The construction needs to consume wood * 1500, stone material * 500, silver coins * 150."
"It's expensive."
Seeing the price of this building, Rao Gu Mi felt a little pained.
Should it be said that it is indeed a mid-level building? Not to mention that the consumption of basic resources is large, and the money that needs to be spent is calculated in silver coins. The conversion of 150 silver coins is 15,000 copper coins.
At this price, 750 acres of farmland can be built.
In particular, there is more than one building that needs to be built, but as many as the outer circle of the territory is.
The range of the Lianzhu Arrow Tower is 500 meters.
According to the calculation of the perimeter of the territory, even if other factors are not counted, at least 36 Renzhu Arrow Towers must be built.
How much will this cost?
540,000 copper coins!
"Sure enough, doing construction is burning money." Gu Mi, who was stingy and stingy, endured the pain, and built 180 Lianzhu Arrow Towers in one breath, about every 100 meters.
Don't look at the range of the Lianzhu Arrow Tower is 500 meters.
But even if a continuous arrow tower can shoot continuously, the number of enemies it can attack at one time is limited. If it encounters a large beast tide and faces the dense number of enemies, what use are the 36 arrow towers?
If it weren't for the lack of basic resources in the territorial inventory, Gu Mi would have liked to build a Lianzhu Arrow Tower every ten meters and fire at the enemy.
That's called a cool!
The basic resources have bottomed out, which means that Gu Mi's crazy construction should come to an end.
In the end, she placed both the "intermediate coal veins" and the "small energy mines" in the industrial zone, and after a distance from the "small iron concentrates", she pressed "construction".
In the middle of the night, the entire territory has undergone earth-shaking changes.
It's just that Gu Mi has recently discovered a new function.
- "Silent Mode".
Therefore, the residents of the whole territory could not hear the movement outside, and were still sleeping peacefully in their beds.
Gu Mi patiently waited for more than an hour, and after the full construction of the territory was completed, she began to upgrade the territory.
"Ding, I hope that the conditions for upgrading the territory have been met. Please select the sacrifices required for the upgrade: 1. Lord's Order, 2. Territory Protection Array, 3. Expansion Cards (three)."
The order of the sacrifices is based on the quality of the items. In short, the higher the order, the better.
The territorial protection array is actually a special lord-level item of the same level as the lord decree, but the array that Gu Mi obtained is too old, so the ranking is not comparable to the new, unused lord decree.
However, Gu Mi thought for a while and chose to sacrifice the formation base.
Although the lord decree is the best choice, she always feels that this lord ordering her to keep it will have a greater effect in the future. In comparison, it is better to sacrifice the formation base.
"Ding, the upgrade conditions are met, the upgrade is 1%...2%..."
"Ha..." He covered his mouth and yawned, Gu Mi waited for a while, and saw that the progress bar jumped 1% after a few minutes, obviously need It takes several hours to complete the territory upgrade.
She didn't wait any longer, just fell onto the bed and fell asleep in seconds.
The next morning.
The old village chief, who was old and young, was the first to get up. He was afraid of waking up his two little grandsons who were still sleeping. He tried to wash and dress lightly, and made three simple breakfasts in the kitchen, and ate one by himself. One serving, and the remaining two servings are reserved for the grandchildren to eat in the morning.
Beating the old waist, the old village chief opened the door, ready to welcome a busy and new day.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, a large piece of empty land came into view, and the leader's house, who was supposed to be only three or four meters away from his house, suddenly stepped back ten meters.
The wind blew and rolled up a cloud of dust.
In a trance, the old village chief thought that his family was isolated by the whole territory overnight.
