Chapter 179: Building a Teleportation Array

Detecting new resources in the territory is a project that requires a lot of time, just like cleaning up demon beasts.

After Gu Mi arranged the accompanying protection personnel for Xu Ke and the others, he turned to look for the turtle who didn't know where to hide.

Fortunately, the entire territory is completely transparent to the lord, and it is completely easy to find a person in it.

After a short while, she teleported to the door of the Sarkris Furnace.

Looking up at the huge building that had been completely renovated in front of him, Gu Mi stepped in, passed through the brand new iron gate, and came to the hall.

There was a rush of heat in the face.

What catches the eye is a red to a little bluish fire, which is a manifestation of the high temperature of the flame.

At this time, the melting pot is no longer the dilapidated appearance that Gu Mi had seen before, just like the old house has been renovated, and its interior has also been redecorated.

The original rusty attic shelves have all been replaced with new fine iron attic shelves, which are still spiraling up along the wall, and the lattice shelves embedded in the wall are filled with various minerals and refining tools. Material.

Of course, there are none that are too precious, or in other words, they have been put away separately. What can be displayed are only some ordinary, but high-quality minerals and materials.

For example, iron ore concentrate that has been smelted to remove impurities, another example is a medicinal herb produced from the territory's medicinal field that is suitable as a binder for utensils, and so on.

There is a price tag under the items that are placed on the shelves.

Yes, they can be sold.

Originally a ring-shaped museum rack that was only used for placing items, it was transformed into an automatic vending rack by Gu Mi. She used the little alchemy knowledge she had learned, combined with the refining skills, to store the gas beads she bought before. As raw materials, small spherical objects were refined and placed in front of each shelf.

These small things only need a little trigger mechanism, and they will automatically turn into a spherical transparent bubble, wrapping the objects placed next to them, forming a small protective layer similar to glue but much stronger than glue cover.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to break this protective cover.

If you really want to break it, the alarm mechanism connected to the bubble will be triggered, and there will be a great movement. As soon as the alarm sound is heard, law enforcement officers from the territory will immediately come back to arrest the criminal suspect who is trying to steal money.

So this is also a small prop that integrates protection and anti-theft.

Those who want to buy the items in the bubbles only need to put the coins of the corresponding price into a coin box in the corresponding grid according to the price indicated on the sign under each item, and the bubbles will be sensed. It automatically melts like a bubble, allowing the person who bought the item to take it away.

When it was time to transform this fantasy vending machine, it took Gu Mi a lot of thought and even lost a lot of hair.

Fortunately, before she went bald, she finally got what she wanted, otherwise she...

can only study how to prepare the hair growth potion.

These attic shelves on the surface of the hall can only be regarded as accessories for the furnace. The real useful buildings are located underground, or in other words, they are the forging rooms built around the huge furnace in the center.

Gu Mi walked to the side of the hall against the wall. There was a staircase going down here. In fact, there was also a staircase opposite the hall, and the two staircases were set up opposite each other.

They all have the same function, and the corridors below are also common, so which one you choose is almost the same.

Going down the stairs, you can feel that the fire that was still hot has weakened a lot, as if it was isolated by something.

There are seven floors in the underground building, each floor is an outer corridor, because the inside is a small and closed forging room built around the big melting furnace, each forging room has a furnace, these furnaces Connected to the most central furnace, fire can be drawn from there, and the firepower can be adjusted through organ control to better help forging.

While forging requires fire, it also requires water.

Therefore, there are also pipes connected to it, and water is introduced from the outside, allowing the people who use the forging room to use water.

The used water will be centrally treated to purify the excess minerals and impurities, and then become clear edible water.

In fact, Gu Mi also imagined that he wanted to use the excess heat of the furnace to boil water, and then build a heating system to heat the whole territory.

It's almost November now.

The weather is starting to get colder.

The snow hasn't fallen yet, but Gu Mi can predict that this year's winter will not be too good. Looking back on last year's tragic situation, Gu Mi has been preparing for winter almost since the middle of the year.

Hoarding food, coal, charcoal, animal skins, felt mats, cashmere pants, cashmere quilts, down quilts, manufacturing stoves, animal skin hot water bottles, etc., Gu Mi took almost every measure he could think of in advance.

Just because I don't want the winter to be too embarrassing.

It's a pity that there are still too few construction talents in their territory, and the city where Gu Mi lived before she entered the survival game had no heating, so she only knew a general idea, but she was at a loss as to how to do it, and she had to ask a professional.

However, there are currently no professionals who can build heating equipment in their territory. Even if they want to do their own research, they can't spare them.

At present, the research institute mainly focuses on agricultural equipment, although it has also begun to conduct research on other projects, such as the manufacture of textile machines, the emergence of steam engines, and the construction of septic tanks, all of which have their share of credit.

However, the number of researchers in the institute is limited, and everyone has spent all their energy just busy with these things. Even many researchers are like Gu Mi, living the life of 007, and have no extra energy to study the heating system. How to build.

The Mok patriarch family is basically busy forging weapons and equipment for the territory, and the few dwarves who did not follow the route of the refiner have all joined the army as soldiers of the territory.

The Dorodo dwarves also have to help build the light rail in the territory.

The craftsmen of other races are either busy this way or that, and the new batch of craftsmen have not been trained yet, so they are completely useless.

After thinking about it, Gu Mi found out with a heavy heart.

There are really few talents under her!

Even though there are more than 40,000 people in the territory, she still feels that the population is seriously scarce, and the labor force is extremely insufficient.

Especially now that the territory has just been upgraded.

After a period of time, the clean-up of monsters within the territory will come to an end, and she will definitely expand the infrastructure in various regions. For example, in agriculture, a large number of new farmland, medicinal fields, etc. will definitely be added to expand the output of food and medicinal materials.

But there are more fields, so what else is there?

People, even if there is a field, someone needs to cultivate it, otherwise it will be abandoned.

What's more, if their territory wants to be upgraded again, the minimum population required is 200,000 people. The current number of people is not enough to see, and the gap is huge!

Therefore, the current difficulties in the territory are really quite a lot.

"Ah..." With an annoyed sigh, Gu Mi followed the instructions of the territory map and accurately came to the third basement floor of the melting pot, signifying the door of the forging room of 308, raising his hand and knocking on the door.

"Knock knock knock..."

No one responded.

Knock again.

Still no response.

Just when Gu Mi wanted to continue knocking a few more times, the door of No. 308 forging room was opened from the inside, and a gray-headed turtle face was exposed, full of impatience: "Why? Knock knock knock knock... Didn't you see that I was busy?!"

"I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help?"

Gu Mi originally wanted to inquire about the progress of the formation construction, but when he saw Turtle's violent temper Appearance, or a wise choice not to make him angry.

Although now it's not much better than being angry.

Hearing that Gu Mi was here to help, the turtle's temper eased. He turned around, let the door open, and motioned for Gu Mi to follow him in: "You came just in time, I was just looking for you."

"Looking for me? Yes. What's the matter?" Gu Mi asked.

"Where's the empty room I asked you to prepare earlier?" Turtle asked as he turned to play with what he had just made.

"Ready, there are three rooms in total, do you see enough?" As early as when the turtle was invited back to the territory, Gu Mi ordered someone to make room for preparation.

"You don't need three, one is enough."

"One?" Gu Mi was surprised.

She thought that to set up three back-and-forth teleportation arrays, she had to prepare three empty rooms.

"No, teleportation formations from the same location to different places can be superimposed, but the materials needed to refine the formation still need six sets, each of the other three places uses one set, and you need three sets here, this is absolutely No less!"

"When you want to continue stacking teleportation arrays to other places in the future, you still need to buy a complete set of refining materials on each side to complete the formation of the array, and you can only stack up to ten times in one place, more than ten times. , you need to prepare another empty room to continue stacking the teleportation array." "In addition, because there are too many destinations for a teleportation array to stack, so when you operate the teleportation array, you should also be careful not to choose the wrong teleportation location, so as not to I'm not responsible for wasting energy in vain but going to the wrong place."

As if she could hear Gu Mi's innermost thoughts, the turtle gave her a detailed explanation about the principles of the teleportation array, construction requirements, usage methods, and so on.

After Gu Mi heard this, he felt a sudden realization.

"Understood." She said, and then said, "Then can you start building the teleportation array now?"

"Okay, the preparatory work has been completed, and now you can build the teleportation array for your territory and another place. "The

turtle took away all the things on the workbench, then stretched out his hand and motioned for Gu Mi to take him to the empty room prepared in their territory to build the array.

"You're really welcome."

Gu Mi smiled helplessly, then reached out to hold the turtle's arm, and teleported with him to the empty room she had already prepared.

A high-end residence that was specially moved to the next door to the town center.

The high-end residences happened to have three rooms and one living room. Originally, Gu Mi envisioned that the living room could be transformed into a reception hall, and the other three empty rooms could be used as places to build a teleportation array.

After setting up the teleportation array, she didn't plan to use it everyday. After all, she spent so much money, and she had to find a way to earn it back.

So when the three teleportation arrays are ready, she intends to use this place as an open long-distance transportation channel, and anyone can use these teleportation arrays as long as they can afford the price.

No matter how expensive it is, there is always someone in need.

This can also create an additional livelihood for the territory.
