From the golden cliff to the twilight forest, Su Mo thought about Huggins' long coastline and felt that his head was going to explode.
The Golden Light Cliff is a cliff-like cliff that is shrouded in fog all year round. It is called the restricted area of life. There is no way for abyssal creatures to climb ashore from there. The boundary between Huggins and other noble territories is also at that location.
The other end of the coastline extends to part of the Dusk Forest.
There were many monsters in the Twilight Forest, and there were even beings like Qinglong who stood at the top of the eastern continent's food chain. Su Mo didn't believe that those abyssal creatures would end up well if they entered.
The coastline on Huggins' side has no protective capabilities.
If a Great Wall Fortress is built, the project amount of 6 million gold coins, which is huge due to the total length, is obviously not enough.
However, the stones are all ready-made and the design can be simplified. The biggest expense is actually the labor cost.
It would be easy to say if Huggins was the original leader of Stan.
The Stan Territory is one of the few good territories in the Federation, and there are many local adults. One hundred thousand coolies can be recruited at will.
But Huggins doesn't have that many people. There are currently dozens of villages, and the NPCs that can be pulled out to work are probably not enough to reach 2,000 people.
Even if all these people were recruited together, they wouldn't be able to do much work.
"Can your people help?" Su Mo put his mind to the fifteen thousand garrison. If they didn't need any money, there would be a lot left over.
"Yes, but we have to train and fight most of the time. We don't have much time to work, and we don't have much energy to work." Thorinsat did not refuse, but it was no different from refusal.
After a day of fighting abyssal creatures, you are covered in injuries, and you still ask them to move rocks
Su Mo's follower Thorinsat, and the force named the Abyss Reserve Group, came to the coast of Huggins together.
The sea was peaceful at this time, and seagulls were flapping their wings.
It is already early summer, and when the sea breeze blows, it brings cool moisture, which can be said to be very comfortable.
There are some amphibious monsters on the beach, some walking sideways, some walking backwards, and some jumping.
"When can we start building the fortress? We may only have half a month." Solinsat asked.
"Old man, you can't be so anxious. I must completely study the terrain here, the rise and fall of the tide, and understand the monsters in the abyss. If you don't understand their characteristics, the things you build will be different. It's useless if it doesn't work." Su Mo explained helplessly.
"Not bad, it turns out that you are not only good at being a thief, but you also know some military strategy." Solinsat praised Su Mo greatly.
Su Mo snorted coldly and did not refute. After all, he had actually stolen things from others.
"I made an appointment with someone. I can go see the abyss in the afternoon. You can go with me. Now I need to build a temporary camp here, and your people will also come to help." Solinsat said.
"No problem." Su Mo asked the people he brought to help set up camp.
This is an absolute professional counterpart. No one here can build a camp. They are better at it than these medieval bumpkins.
Su Mo himself contacted the senior who helped with the design last time.
Even though he has graduated, those seniors are still seniors. After all, they all have doctorates and masters.
In front of them, Mr. Su was illiterate.
It won't be a problem for the dean and teachers. Even students from the college should be able to do this job, and they are more or less professional.
"What, let's build the Great Wall?" The brother whose ID is Shadow Knight A Yuanyuan received the message and was shocked. He thought Su Mo was joking, and then confirmed again: "Are you sure you want to build the Great Wall? "
Some of the people who came into the game last time returned to the real world after finishing their work, while others became addicted.
This shadow knight A Yuanyuan is actually the latter.
A doctoral student who is several levels older than Su Mo has already received an internal employment contract from the college. He is just waiting to graduate and become a lecturer in the college. His level is definitely high.
It's a pity that he is a bit indifferent and can only say a few words when it comes to professional matters.
However, this situation changed after entering the game.
In the game, the taciturn old otaku completely let himself go and no longer planned to continue being an otaku.
Smoking, perming your hair and drinking beer are called 666.
"Senior, don't worry. This is definitely an officially approved project. I was forced to do this, so I thought of asking for help from professionals like you." Su Mo said.
"I think there should be no problem. I didn't expect this game to be really interesting. Ever since I was a child, I never even imagined that one day I could participate in building the Great Wall." The old otaku was in a very excited mood, feeling that his outlook on life was once again affected. Wash and brush.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he had more opportunities like this, wouldn't he be able to become a master architect in the game
From beginning to end, he never thought of discussing remuneration.
After getting a Ph.D. and being successfully hired within the university, A Yuanyuan no longer worries about money, while the old otaku doesn’t seem to have much money to spend other than buying handicrafts.
Once the designer is found, the next step is to do the work.
No matter how Su Mo calculated it, he couldn't afford so much money, and the six million gold coins given by the federation was obviously not enough.
If there is no half-month time limit to be on the safe side, Su Mo had better build the Great Wall in ten days. Otherwise, abyssal creatures rush in half way. If half a month is not required, 100,000 people can just do it slowly.
But now it is required to be completed in ten days, and the amount of work is relatively large, requiring at least 300,000 civilians to be requisitioned.
These 300,000 people need to eat, drink and live in. After Wallace became the consul, he specially increased the hard labor treatment in this area.
Not counting food and drink, the reward of one gold coin is the bottom line.
Those unconvinced nobles had their families killed as Wallace swept across the Commonwealth.
Even if a commoner is given one gold coin a day, if 300,000 people are given ten days, it will still cost three million gold coins. It seems that six million can solve the problem, but the problem is not that simple.
Su Mo didn't have 300,000 civilians, so it would be good if he could raise 3,000.
Most of these 300,000 civilians need to be requisitioned from other territories, so the greater cost is actually the transportation cost.
Food and other things can be put into the player's backpack and taken there, but people cannot.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Mo decided to give up using aborigines to build the Great Wall and called in footmen.
But foot men are not easy to encourage. Not everyone is as easy to fool as Shadow Knight A Yuanyuan. In fact, Su Mo didn't fool at all. He only said that he wanted to build the Great Wall, and this guy was so stupid. Agree to help.
