Chapter 612 Trouble is Opportunity (8000)

"Roar……!"

The ferocious-looking zombie monsters are running wildly in the city.

They have an extremely keen sense of smell and can smell any hidden flesh and blood.

Once they find "food", they will swarm in as fast as possible. The scene of distortion and destruction gives people a creepy fear.

Countless people in hiding were killed and turned into horrific zombies under the control of twisted forces.

What worries the audience the most.

It's the image that keeps shaking.

It was the gasp that echoed in everyone's ears.

It was the shrill screams of his companions when they were taken away.

The zombies that were hot on the heels were chasing after them in every possible way.

The picture is always running away, always retreating.

In the end, the people who had suffered nine deaths finally broke out of the siege of the city wall and left this dangerous city.

Before everyone could relax a little, a large swarm of zombie monsters came from all directions, and under everyone's horrified gaze, they drowned everyone who survived.

Blood-stained scenes, mutilated corpses, and the horrifying sound of chewing.

There are also subtitles floating across the entire screen:
"This is what really happened in the city of Chicago on the coast of Falsico, with an estimated death toll of 126 million people..."

These all declare a cruel fact to everyone.

No one survived!

There was a dead silence in the entire theater, and everyone was immersed in worry and indignation against the same enemy.

They never thought that such a terrible thing could happen in a safe city.

Millions of people died in just over an hour.

When many people left the theater, their moods took a long time to regain their composure.

They walked to the crowded restaurant and ordered a table of food absentmindedly. They noticed that other people next to them were also in a daze, and asked tentatively:

"Did you watch it too?"

"Yes, everyone has seen the factory organization. I really didn't expect it to be so miserable in other places."

"In addition to Chicago, I heard that several other major cities are also in a zombie crisis. Even Washington, Falsico's former capital, is now surrounded by zombies."

"Real or false? Where did you get the news?"

"It's all in the territorial newspaper and the news. The territorial newspaper is more detailed. It makes it clear that this is a conspiracy of the Eternal Church..."

"Those people are too miserable, don't their soldiers and guards protect them?"

"Tch, it's not like I haven't seen them before. Do you really think that the soldiers and guards there are as dedicated as they are in our territory?"

"Yes, they also issued a danger notice, which is considered very good."

"Hey, who makes them weaker? If they don't develop their cities and territories properly, they will be powerless to resist once they encounter danger."

"Hey, you can't say that. They have strength and resources, but they just don't want to train troops and soldiers, or waste their combat power on rescuing civilians."

"It's better to have our territory. Not only does it have a strong army and force, but it's also our people's soldiers..."

"That's natural. With Yaya and Lord Lord here, and no other so-called nobles, everyone's life will not be too comfortable."

"If you ask me, there have been more and more dangers over the years. It would be better for everyone to train hard and improve their strength."

"Then do you need to remind me? The territory and we have always lived like this. After the strength increases, the monthly subsidy is not fake."

"Don't think so much. We strive to do our jobs well, which is our greatest contribution and help."

"..."

The newly arrived refugees felt very sympathetic to everyone's discussion and couldn't help but start talking about the situations they had encountered.

Then they discovered that all the big guys in the territory had experienced this at one time or another.

Because of this, everyone cherishes everything in the territory.

A safe and peaceful life, an unprecedented path to enrichment and upward development, gives everyone endless motivation.

In the territorial arsenal.

A new weapons production line is being established.

The large metal frames are being spliced ​​together.

The first production lines built are often manual + tool learning and experimental production lines.

Their role is important.

It allows workers to understand the steps of making and production.

Research the requirements and specifications for automated production lines.

It is also a key area for performance improvement, data fine-tuning, and structural transformation.

The data for the first batch of experimental mass production of weapons and equipment will come from here.

Every worker transferred here has basically mastered advanced manufacturing technology and is an elite cultivated by the Gulf Territory production factory.

They will first conduct a certain degree of pilot production based on the drawings provided by the research institute, and then slowly adjust the production method.

Wait until product quality and production methods stabilize.

They will be in charge of each newly established production line.

Production workers who meet the "selection requirements" will learn to produce this type of weapons and equipment under their guidance.

Various data and technologies will be accumulated when a sufficient number of production workers are trained.

It has also been able to support the Gulf Territory and complete the manufacturing of semi-automated production lines.

The last step of production is to complete the manufacturing of the fully automatic production line.

This is how Bay Territory was nurtured.

Cultivate more excellent workers step by step.

At the same time, we gain super production capacity.

The two sides complement each other and continue to increase and expand at an alarming rate.

Matthew is testing an improved exoskeleton combat device.

These things perform quite well in battles with zombie monsters.

Consider the various enemies you will face in the future.

This kind of device that can improve production capacity and enhance combat effectiveness can bring a great improvement to the development and production of the Gulf Territory.

Of course, take into account the difficulty and cost of making magic items.

Matthew is very aware that it is very difficult to promote it on a large scale and to reduce costs.

After all, even the cheapest production golems, miniaturized wayfinding golems and statistics golems.

After two years of development and research, the cost has only been reduced to about 800 gold coins per unit.

Considering that the current population of the Gulf Territory exceeds 500 million, if we want to fully promote it, the funds and resources spent will be immeasurable.

"So, start with small-scale production and solve various problems in production and use."

"Gradually improve production efficiency and reduce production costs..."

Hearing Matthew's words, Macaron, as the person in charge of the military factory, couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

It's not that he unconditionally obeys the Lord's orders and opinions.

Rather, all the development trajectories he has experienced have taken a path he has never seen before.

Moreover, this road is very broad and has great potential. How can we not be excited?

The continuous improvement of factory productivity has enabled the Gulf Territory to continue to develop and improve the cornerstone of the production of heavy weapons and equipment.

Production matters have been finalized.

Macaron, who was relieved, shouted to the big guy very excitedly:
"The lord is very satisfied with everyone's work, and the people in the territory also have great expectations for us."

“So, everyone must work harder to repay the territory’s support for us.”

"After all, the more you produce, the better the production effect will be, the more everyone will gain, and the higher the bonuses and achievements will be."

Deafening cheers came from all directions.

Obviously, everyone still likes and cares about "bonus" and "merit" very much.

Production here is on track.

Other weapons and equipment, production tools, combat golems and other equipment have also completed further expansion of production capacity.

The daily production of weapons and equipment has also moved from the original 50 pieces to an astounding [-] pieces.

In the words of the lord.

The northern continent is so unstable that all major territories and kingdoms are in danger and trouble.

To help everyone have the ability to fight these dangers.

Our Gulf Territory specially produces high-quality and low-priced weapons to provide everyone with good military support.

What kind of spirit is this?
This is the spirit of letting everyone live a good life together!
The big guys in the military factory are very motivated, and so are the people in other positions.

Especially the production department in charge of grain production has been extremely busy recently.

There is still a final wave of food produced that has not yet been harvested.

This batch of grain is also the largest in quantity - a full 2000 million acres!

It can be said that the harvest of this batch of grain alone.

The Gulf Territory can easily support more than 500 million people.

Counting the more than 3000 million acres that have been harvested in the past few days, the Gulf Territory has completely gotten rid of the shackles of food.

However, Matthew was still not satisfied.

He needed more food, and the Gulf Territory needed more people.

In the entire northern continent, due to exploitation and war, nearly half of the population of nearly 10 billion is below the subsistence line.

Matthew has big goals!
On the golden wheat field, rows of busy demon statues harvested grains.

The mountains of food give people the joy of harvest.

Everyone looked at this scene with great satisfaction and discussed how much they could gain this time.

Everyone's face is full of smiles, and it is a smile of harvest.

Captain Sean, who was on patrol, looked happily at the mountains of food.

Recalling the precarious life in which I had to face the invasion of kobolds and trolls from time to time, I was often hungry.

Captain Sean missed the beauty of the present very much. He looked at the big guys gathered together, listened to their excited discussions, and waved to the Golem Train in the distance.

sieve!sieve!
Densely packed grains were piled into the carriages, filling every carriage.

The Golem train continued to move forward until all the food was loaded and there were still spare carriages.

They start beeping and go to other places to load food.

Seeing that all the food had been loaded, Captain Sean waved to the children in the distance and said to the teacher leading the team:

"The food scattered in the fields will be given to you."

The teacher nodded with a smile and said to the children who were looking forward to it:

"There is a poem in the East. It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping on the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work."

"The food that everyone eats is grown one by one like this. They are hard-earned and need to be cherished."

“Everyone’s task today is to use the knowledge we have learned to collect the food scattered in the fields to ensure that it will not be wasted.”

"The ten students with the best performance will receive a gift prepared by Lord Yaya."

As soon as they heard about the gift prepared by Youya, every child became excited.

There are sculptures everywhere on coins, in emblems, and the history of the development of the Gulf Territory that they have to learn every day.

They are telling all the children about Yaya’s great role and contribution.

They have a deeper and more passionate love for Yaya and Matthew than adults.

If the Gulf Territory hadn't "rejected" blind worship, I'm afraid they would be the most obsessed with it.

However, in the promotion of the territory and the teachings of the teachers, they have always maintained a good degree of control.

Let the children understand that development is not easy, understand the hardships of development, take the development of territory as their ambition, and encourage everyone to grow faster and stronger.

Without falling into the shackles of fanaticism, he maintains scientific rationality.

Children are very smart.

Someone brought a broom, someone prepared a cloth bag, someone brought a small wand, and someone prepared a large fan.

Some of their plans succeeded and they picked up a lot of fallen food.

Some failed and had no choice but to pick them up with their hands.

They secretly observe other people's methods and think about how to prepare for tomorrow.

Whoosh!

The swirling breeze blows slowly.

It brings the fragrance of wheat from the fields.

Yaya smelled the faint smell of alcohol in the air, his big eyes flashing with excitement.

It's not that Yaya wants to drink, but she will be able to eat brand-new maltose soon.

This sweet delicacy is simply irresistible to Yaya.

The same goes for the little Menglan in her arms. She smacked her mouth excitedly, enjoying the sticky deliciousness of maltose.

Orianna, who was following Yaya, curiously looked at the fish swimming in the pond, pointed excitedly and said:

"Hey, isn't this the fish we usually eat? It turns out it was raised here!"

He gently patted Xiao Menglan's head to prevent her from releasing any breath, lest the fish here wouldn't be able to bear it.

Little Menglan swung her tail very obediently and couldn't help but said:
"After harvesting such a large amount of food, can we gather more partners?"

"Some Leviathan tribes have already sent us trade requests. They are in urgent need of clean food and Japanese pirates."

He blinked slightly, thinking that his sea-opening team would soon expand.Yaya nodded excitedly, looking at the fish that was exuding magic and swimming around and said:
"Arrange, make arrangements for them immediately!"

"The Japanese pirates who care about eating rather than fighting are already ready to attack."

"This time I just want to teach them a lesson and take back more islands."

"Those resource-rich islands are simply a waste of resources if they fall into their hands!"

One island after another represents the investment of batches of adventurers.

The Gulf Territory can not only obtain large orders, but also recover gold coins from adventurers and territorial residents, and can also obtain many rich resources as supplements. It is simply not too comfortable.

Moreover, in addition to the resources of the Eastern Islands, Yaya values ​​​​the Brave Continent that has made early preparations.

The Brave Continent mines rare metals and various resources, and produces and manufactures weapons, equipment and other materials that are urgently needed by the southern countries.

You can restore a lot of blood, harvest a lot of resources and wealth, and then develop into another big "gold mine" in the Gulf Territory under the influence of a virtuous circle.

Ya Ya has already made up his mind and is waiting to "teach" the Japanese pirates a lesson.

Then we can start building a fleet with larger scale and stronger transportation capacity.

In this seemingly ordinary chat, Yaya has completed checking the status of everyone in this area.

There are no cultists, no spies, and no people with evil intentions. The situation is much better than the previous ten or so farm strongholds.

"What kind, honest and hard-working people they are. As long as their lives get better and better, they are willing to work hard..."

This made Ya Ya quite happy, and made her even more determined that her efforts and efforts were worth it.

Doing the same job as Yaya, Elio led the inspection team to arrest the cultists.

At an alarming speed, she led the inspector's action team to conduct large-scale arrests of camps, strongholds, fortresses, and cities in the Gulf Territory.

Their arrests are swift and accurate, and they will not miss any hidden danger.

"You did a good job this time. I think I can hand over the supervision of the inspection team to you."

Elio was quite satisfied with Feili's work, and was impressed by the growth of this originally somewhat reckless adventurer.

Feili smiled proudly, while looking through the arrest records, she quickly arranged the personnel, and only answered when she stepped into the teleportation array:
"When I get stronger, handle things more skillfully, and complete the senior management training, I should be able to take charge of the inspection team."

Alio admired her confidence, recalling the scene when the lord summoned her back from the Brave Continent, and said thoughtfully:

"If nothing else happens, the revenge of the Cole Elf Kingdom will come soon."

"Your tasks will be very heavy next, but as long as you maintain your current status, you should be able to complete the tasks well."

Feili, who heard the Cole elf, gritted her teeth, stared, and said viciously:
"I have prepared good things for the Cole elves a long time ago. I hope they won't be too afraid."

Nodding silently, Alio pulled away and left Feili in charge of the arrest.

She also wanted to take hundreds of curious tauren to take a good tour of Bay City.

The tauren following Elio looked at the clean and beautiful streets, marveled at the densely packed residents, looked at other races curiously, and tasted various delicacies.

Elio was not too anxious and took them to browse the scenery of Bay City.

One is to leave a good impression on these tauren, and the other is to prepare to relieve the tension and spirit.

Elio takes charge of all matters in the Brave Continent. This is an unprecedented experience and an amazing pressure.

She never imagined that one day she would be responsible for the life and death of hundreds of thousands or even more people.

When he was in the Continent of Braves, Elio would always think over and over again, worrying about which decision he had not made well.

The tremendous pressure caused Elio to grow rapidly, and it also brought a lot of psychological burden to her.

Fortunately, as we became familiar with the surrounding areas of the Brave Continent, batches of support and soldiers arrived.

Elio gradually let go of the pressure and quickly developed Brave City and the surrounding areas.

Now, even after returning to the Gulf Territory, Elio is very confident in the safety of Brave City.

After wandering around for a while, the tauren followed Elio to the Professional Training Academy.

The newly expanded Professional College has towering walls and a brand new gate.

Just the two rows of tall and burly Dragoon No. 1 Golems made all the tauren become nervous again.

Elio took the tauren to register at the door, and then passed up to 12 physical and magic tests to help coordinate various issues.

It took about 30 minutes to get these tauren into the professional training academy.

"Strict testing measures are to better ensure the safety of the children here."

Elio explained this to the Tauren, then waved to Alona who was waiting aside, and introduced to them:

"This is Alona, ​​your teacher at the Vocational Training Academy."

"She will teach you knowledge and focus on completing the study of land development for crop cultivation."

When the tauren heard the identity of Teacher Alona, ​​he lowered his head very respectfully.

In the tauren tribe, teachers are as worthy of respect as warriors.

Looking through the roster carefully, feeling the vitality and talent of these tauren, Alona glanced at their average age of only eleven or twelve years old, and said with admiration:
"These are really a good group of children. No wonder you would apply to the lord to bring them back for training."

Smiling and nodding, Alio turned around, gently pushed Alona, ​​and said in the latter's surprised eyes:
"I won't be here too long, and they are urgently needed over there to play their role and see results."

Alona, ​​who understood what Elio meant, nodded slightly.

Not all territories and forces will value the cultivation and education of children as much as the Gulf Territory.

They would not invest so much resources and manpower and be willing to treat everyone's children the same way.

Class, power, blood, and intimacy will all form huge gaps.

If it were before, Alona would think this was normal.

But it wasn't until she joined the Gulf Territory that she grew up while learning, passed the rigorous assessment, and successfully became a teacher at the Vocational Training College.

Only then did she understand a simple but profound truth.

“All inequalities and injustices lead to the accumulation of contradictions and conflicts.”

"Over time, they will gradually evolve into larger disasters."

Alona originally had some worries about the continuous acceptance of new people in the Gulf Territory.

However, as time goes by, the training policy of the Vocational Training College has not only not deviated, but has become more and more perfect.

This can easily make all new members have a heartfelt identification with Bay Territory.

"Training children for free, helping to take care of them, high quality and good results."

For most people, this is simply an irresistible temptation.

Alona's education for the children of the Bicol Elf nobles seems to be far inferior to that of the Gulf Territory.

After all, in addition to education in strength and knowledge, Bayland attaches great importance to the growth of mental health.

Cultivate a positive and optimistic attitude for children, cultivate stable emotions, develop a stable character, and shape a cheerful attitude and style.

The Gulf Territory will not force everyone to change their nature, but will try their best to make everyone develop for the better.

Since these tauren want results, Elona doesn't mind a quick training session.

"First see the results, solve the problem of trust, and then slowly advance step by step."

Elio was very confident in Alona's abilities and methods, and then walked towards the Druid Laboratory where the Lord was.

In the more spacious druid laboratory, the light and dark experimental areas are arranged from far to near.

Various magical plants exude various scents.

Some of them are very calm, some are very lively, and some are very greedy and are feasting.

The laboratory will provide them with various growth environments and cultivate various characteristics in different states.

Thereby maintaining the diversity of their types and preparing for the cultivation of more different types of magic plants.

In addition to these amazingly valuable magical plants, Elora valued the newly developed various new varieties of young food plants the most.

The Brave Continent has many resources, including magic plants and rare metals.

Only the demand for food will become greater and greater.

Due to some special reasons, it is difficult for ordinary food crops to survive in the soil of the Brave Continent.

Even if some lucky ones survive occasionally, the food they grow contains toxins.

In the words of Bay Territory staff, the soil in this area is toxic and normal plants cannot grow at all.

There are not many people in Brave City now, and the food gap is not big yet.

The Gulf Territory transports part of it, catches part of it in the sea, and trades part with the Falsico countries, which basically ensures that everyone has enough to eat.

However, as time goes by, more and more people will have their territory in the Brave Continent.

Elio must prepare well in advance!

In the past, Elio only had to take care of the battle, and everything he needed would be prepared in advance.

Now, Elio must adapt in advance and prepare for the expansion and development of Brave City.

The number of busy little druids has grown to four to five thousand.

Under the leadership of the slightly older druid staff, they studied and worked carefully and diligently.

Covering an area of ​​more than one square kilometer, a variety of plants and animals breed endless vitality.

When Elio found the Lord, he found that he was observing a transparent laboratory.

Elio, who was much calmer, carefully watched the scene in the laboratory.

The green buds grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flexible shoots become tough and can gradually support a taller trunk.

The young leaves turn from emerald green to dark green, as if they are maturing in the blink of an eye.

The rice flower branches slowly stretch out, from flower bones to rapid blooming, in just a few dozen breaths.

Elio was keenly aware.

In this laboratory, it seems as if the fast forward button has been pressed.

It’s not just the rice that has changed.

There is also the surrounding environment, as well as various nutrient supplies required for different stages of rice.

Then, the plump rice bent down and swayed slightly, which looked extremely beautiful and moving.

The golden color symbolizing harvest emerged, and Elio stared expectantly at the invisible hands, picking each ripe grain.

The golden grains are quickly "dried" and slowly piled up on the large scale.

600...

700...

800...

900...

1000...

1059...

Matthew shook his head with some regret, said "Smash it" lightly and then said:
"Sure enough, magic is not omnipotent."

It is only natural that there will be bottlenecks in the improvement of breeding.

Matthew just didn't expect it to appear so quickly.

Fortunately, Matthew was not in a hurry and continued to let Xiao Jixiang and these druids accumulate experience.

And he himself went to find Lao Li and said to the Druid master who was working hard with the rice:

"Don't be too anxious. The next step is just hard work. As time goes by and various experimental methods are advanced, the rice seeds cultivated will become better and better."

Lao Li nodded helplessly. He was naturally aware of the situation, but he was also somewhat unwilling to do so.

Seeing such a good opportunity right in front of him, but still unable to break through, this would inevitably make him a little irritated.

Facing the lord's half-smiling face, Lao Li hesitated for a while and suddenly asked:

"Scientific methods are indeed very effective, and as time goes by, the upper limit can always be exceeded again and again."

"But we probably need more of a one-time boost, right?"

Noticing Lao Li's changing mood, Matthew nodded along with his words, with an expectant look in his eyes, indicating for him to continue.

Lao Li gritted his teeth and said in a cautious tone:
"Mother Earth has found me!"

Mother Earth?

Mother Earth?

This is an experienced "god"!

Matthew raised his hand and touched his chin, recalling the grudge between himself and Mother Earth, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

"They are inevitable, and it's time to get in touch with them."

The development of the Gulf Territory is on the right track, and there is no shortage of materials, talents, systems, and people.

Matthew doesn’t have to worry too much about the influence of the Church of God on the development of the territory.

After all, a drop of water cannot pollute the ocean.

However, how to contact or even communicate with the stubborn and conservative Mother Earth is a considerable test for Matthew and the Gulf Territory.

He is no ordinary god!

He is one of the oldest gods.

Unlike those outer gods, they come from other worlds on the material plane.

He is the "local" deity of the physical plane!
If contact and communication are successfully completed, the development of agricultural production in the Gulf Territory can be pushed to a higher position.

If they fail, both Bayland and Matthew will be in a lot of trouble.

"Am I afraid of trouble?"

“Without trouble, there’s no money to be made!”

"Trouble is an opportunity!"
