let go of that priestess

On the increasingly detailed and accurate map of the mortal world, the location of the volcano that Honglian had told him was now marked.

At the junction of the plates, the crustal movement is frequent, and volcanoes exist here, which is reasonable.

With a new sulfur producing area, Dongxu Town must build a road to it, and start building it immediately.

After a while, he will send a letter to the Council to explain the matter.

Honglian said in the letter that she would not think that there are too many resources, that is of course~

However, if it was only for the sake of sulfur, he would not pay so much attention——

Now the sulfur production in the sulfur producing area has been quite a lot, but the volcano does not only produce sulfur.

Minerals that may be formed by volcanic activities include diamonds, gold, silver, copper, uranium, iron, aluminum, zinc, alunite, zeolite, vanadium-titanium magnetite, etc.

Non-metallic minerals may include diamond, corundum, garnet and other gemstone deposits, as well as a large number of basalts that must exist nearby.

Many of the resources mentioned above will be of great help to industries such as electric power, mining, metallurgy, chemical industry, construction, and even aerospace.

For example, vanadium and titanium, as rare metals, are widely used.

For the moment, it can improve the performance of the steel produced in Dongxu Town, increase strength, reduce weight, and reduce costs.

Looking to the future, it can make all-vanadium redox flow batteries in terms of electricity——

Although Dongxu Town has started to build a hydroelectric storage power station, which can be regarded as a large battery, if you want to develop mobile electric equipment, such as trams and mobile phones, you must need small portable batteries.

It is impossible to carry a hydroelectric storage power station on your back wherever you go, that is a fantasy.

Holding the map, Ji Cheng stared at the location of the volcano marked on it, his eyes shining brightly.

baby!

big baby!

Although the road is long, the road must be built!

Even if all kinds of possible mineral materials are not available, or it is difficult to refine with the current technology, at least there is absolutely guaranteed basalt!

This thing is the best cornerstone of the development path!

If you want to get rich, build roads first, and now a lot of roads are being built inside and outside the town. This is the key to the rapid prosperity and growth of Dongxu Town.

In addition, basalt can be used to produce cast stone, and cast stone can replace the severely worn and easily corroded parts in various factories today, which can increase the service life of equipment by dozens or even dozens of times!

The benefits are huge!

Furthermore, pumice with many pores in basalt can be mixed in concrete to reduce weight, sound insulation and heat insulation, and provide favorable assistance to multi-storey buildings and high-rise buildings in the future.

Today, the tallest building in Dongxu Town is only four stories high.

Having said that, this kind of good material can be used in my new home...

After thinking for a while, Ji Cheng wrote another letter and asked the messenger outside the office to send it to Lu Gong of the Ministry of Construction.

Not long after, the construction site of the Shenju was rebuilt.

Lu Gong, who was wearing the latest rubber-cotton blended safety helmet developed by Dongxu Town, received a letter written by an adult.

Taking out the light yellow flat paper letter with increasingly better craftsmanship from the oil paper envelope that was also developed and manufactured not long ago, Lu Gong was stunned for a while after reading it at a glance, and then quickly waved his hand and ordered loudly:

"Stop all the work in hand! Stop! Go and call the captains of the first, second and third construction teams to come to my place for an emergency meeting!"

"Yes, Minister."

The assistant who was following on the side pressed the helmet and immediately ran out, and soon, three construction team leaders gathered here.

"Minister, are you looking for us?"

"Ah."

Lu Gong nodded, "The construction plan for rebuilding the Shenju has to be revised now."

"...?"

The three captains immediately looked at each other in dismay, and the reconstruction of the four major functional areas of the Shenju, the three major construction areas have been decided after repeated discussions.

Now that the foundation has been dug, all kinds of foundation steel bars have been drilled, and the filling of rock-sand concrete has also been completed, but now it is said that this plan is needed?  …

A team leader hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Minister, I know that your residence must be of the highest standard, but if you want to change the plan now, how should you change it? Shall we demolish it and rebuild it? I'm afraid it will delay the construction period."

"There's no harm in delays, and there's no need to tear down and rebuild."

Lu Gong explained: "What needs to be changed is the material used for the main body of the building on the surface, and because of the different materials used, some of the redundant parts can be optimized.

However, the materials used for our foundation do not need to be changed. The foundation needs weight and firmness, and the current materials are just right. "

"Material?"

According to the minister, the building materials for the follow-up project need to be replaced.

However, they are all old people from the Ministry of Construction, and they have never heard any news about new building materials.

Lu Gong knew their doubts and continued to explain.

After a while, the three construction captains were taken aback: "Volcano, basalt!? Are we going to turn around and build roads first?"

"Well, this time it's heading north, building a second long road besides Tongxu Road."

Lu Gong's face was serious: "This road also shoulders the task of opening up the two places in the Northeast and laying a solid foundation for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to recruit and invite northern tribes in the next step!"

"So that's it!" Everyone's faces became serious.

Obtaining materials and rebuilding the divine dwelling better is one of them. On the other hand, this is also related to the great cause of unifying the human race!

Once again, the Ministry of Construction shoulders an important mission, and will definitely pave a smooth path for the adults, for Dongxu Town, and for the new civilization!

......

......

"My lord, this is the latest statistical report from the Human Resources Department."

"Ah."

In the largest office on the east side of the Council Hall, Jiang Hongdou responded lightly, signaling the other party to put down the report and go out.

After a while, she finished the work at hand, picked up the report and opened it, glanced at the line of the total population of Dongxu Town, paused for a moment, then got up, and said to Ying Na, who was the new second seat at the other desk: :

"I have something to go to his place, and you will work for me temporarily."

"Okay, my lord."

Since Ying Na became the second seat, she has learned a lot from her. This time should be a small test, and she promises with a serious face that nothing will go wrong.

Jiang Hongdou smiled, and signaled her not to be nervous, as usual, Ying Na is a talent she has always been optimistic about, with excellent management skills, but she lacks experience and sharpening, she has great confidence in Ying Na.

In addition, Ying Na's current position as the second seat has no real power, and the affairs she handles must be reviewed by her before they can be conveyed. In fact, it is equivalent to an assistant.

So there is no need to worry at all, as long as you don't go out for a long time and don't accumulate too many official duties, you will be fine.

Well, it shouldn't be too long this time...

What I want to say to Ji Cheng is actually quite important——

Dongxu Town, maybe it should be changed to Dongxu City now.

Since the merger of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the adoption of various measures to vigorously invite human tribes outside, the population of Dongxu Town has grown rapidly at an exaggerated rate.

Just now, the latest statistics from the Human Resources Department are: the population has exceeded 1!

Town of Thousands of People.

Ten thousand people, it's time to be a city.

7017 k

,

Chapter 296 Enfeoffment System, County System

"Build a city."

In the office, Ji Cheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard Ming Jiang Hongdou's intention.

So fast.

However, today's Dongxu Town...

He looked sideways out of the window, and could only see a corner of the town, but Yu Jian overlooked it from above, and he had a good idea of ​​what the whole town looked like.

There are many buildings and streets everywhere.

The nascent civilization has developed at an incredible speed.

If people of later generations look back and study history in the next hundred or thousand years, they will probably be amazed that civilization seems to have descended out of thin air, as if an advanced civilization was directly copied and pasted.

Cough cough, in fact, it is true~

Ji Cheng smiled, looked away, and looked at Jiang Hongdou: "Dongxu Town, let's change its name to Dongxu City from now on."

"Oh, you also think that there is nothing wrong with building a city for thousands of people, right?"

"no problem."

Ji Cheng nodded again to confirm.

"For the early stage of civilization development, the number of people in a city-state is about tens of thousands.

With our current technology level, it is not good to gather too many people in one place, which will result in too little land per capita, which in turn will have many negative effects.

In other words, due to our lack of technology in communication, transportation, transportation, construction, etc., it is more appropriate for a city to accommodate 2 to 3 people.

Of course, with the development of science and technology in the future, um... maybe the development of magic element technology, the upper limit of urban population capacity will also increase.

There will be a super metropolis with a population of 10, 50, or even a million, tens of millions. "

"Ten million!?" Jiang Hongdou's jaw dropped in shock: "One city with ten million people!?"

"Yes, but that may be a long, long time from now."

Ji Cheng smiled: "Of course, we have to ensure that the inheritance of human beings will not be cut off during this period, so that it is possible."

"Um......"

The human inheritance is not broken.

Jiang Hongdou's heart suddenly tightened. Now that the population has increased, more and more stones inherited from various ethnic groups have been collected.

The existence of these inheritance stones, she and Ji Cheng once speculated that there may have been a civilization in the human race before, but suffered a huge blow, the inheritance was almost cut off, and the human race became a pattern of tribal migration.

If the speculation is true, we don’t know how far the civilization has developed before, but they must have returned to the most primitive starting point if they have become a migration model...

The consequences of the severance of inheritance can be seen.

Jiang Hongdou took a deep breath: "We have to become stronger and have stronger power to protect our inheritance!"

"Yes, so don't think too far ahead."

Based on Ji Cheng's understanding of Jiang Hongdou, he knew what she was thinking just now, so he said comfortingly:

"At the moment, we still focus on the development of civilization. Just now we mentioned the current suitable population in a city. Then there is one thing that seems to need to be dealt with urgently."

"Quickly deal with it? Oh..." Jiang Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted:

"You said that 2 to 3 people in a city is more appropriate. Dongxu Town currently has more than 1 people, but if you count the southeastern tribes who are migrating to Dongxu Town, when they all migrate here, the population will soon approach the upper limit. Already!"

"Well, according to the data, that's it."

Ji Cheng nodded.

The tribes in the southeast have no Tongxu road to go, and the road is still under construction.

In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs adopts the method of breaking up the whole into parts and dispersing contact and inviting tribes.

Although the efficiency of contacting and inviting tribes has increased, it is possible to contact and invite several tribes at the same time in a week, but due to the dispersion of personnel, the strength to assist the local tribes is insufficient, and the speed of migration has also slowed down.

And because of the high invitation efficiency and slow migration speed (the migration speed of the tribe itself ranges from several months to more than a year), the population of Dongxu Town can't just look at the current paper data. On the way to migrate here.

"I understand."

Jiang Hongdou sat upright and said, "We must hurry up and make plans for the future population resettlement!

After the tribes in the southeast migrated over, there were tribes in the north and west that might come over! "
