During the period since Nancy left, Lucheng had further discussed the construction of the camp with the research base.
At present, the size of the camp can only be considered a small village, but after a round of discussion, Lu Cheng felt that in less than three months, this place could successfully evolve from a small village into a 'county town'.
In less than a week, the research base came up with a large number of "city construction plans" for Lucheng.
The rabbits' ability to build houses should not be underestimated. Lu Cheng felt that as long as there was enough energy, this place would be transformed from a primitive jungle into a city covered with steel and concrete in the blink of an eye.
“Building a city from scratch?”
Lu Cheng sat at his desk and looked at the pile of city design drawings in front of him.
The location of the camp near the Green Leaf River is a very good starting point, only slightly worse than the geographical environment of the coastal starting point.
"Captain Lu, you currently have 473 people's energy, which can be converted into a weight of 4,730 tons. With this weight, we can use a light steel structure to build a teaching building to serve as a research institute and residence."
The person in charge of this construction project is named Wang Zhixian... He is an urban planning engineer with more than 20 years of work experience.
All the design drawings piled on Lu Cheng's desk were drawn by him and his team.
"How many things are going to be built in the first phase of the project?" Lu Cheng flipped through the engineering design drawings on hand. To be honest, Lu Cheng could roughly understand the first phase of these things, but the second, third and even the fourth phase gave Lu Cheng a headache.
"The first phase of the project is just to modernize some existing infrastructure, including the water supply system and the power system." Wang Zhixian stretched out his hand and pointed out the parts of the design drawing that needed attention on Lu Cheng's behalf.
"For the power system, is the first choice a thermal power plant..."
Lu Cheng knew that as the blood vessels and heart of modern civilization, the power system was undoubtedly the most important part of the infrastructure, and other things like water supply and sewers could wait.
The only problem was power supply. As the special zone camp gradually developed into a special zone...county town, a small hydroelectric generator would definitely not be able to meet the power supply needs.
In this situation, building a power station is an urgent matter. Thermal power generation is currently the most mature means of power generation in China. The thermal power stations located throughout China also constitute the country's largest power generation system.
"We have already selected the location for the thermal power station, but we haven't found any coal sources in Huiri City. There are also some crystals that we have never seen before. However, given the topography and landforms of this country, there should be a lot of coal reserves." Wang Zhixian pointed out the more difficult part at the moment. Huiri City only stores a large amount of copper and lead mines, but there is no trace of coal for industrial consumption.
During this period, Lucheng also sent a number of explorers to explore the distribution of minerals in the surrounding areas, and concluded that the country of Skare is a "country sitting on a mine cart."
Queen Elena's family not only owns a mine, but her home is located on top of a large number of mineral veins.
Among the mineral resources currently found by explorers, some are minerals that exist on Earth, and the other part is that kind of "magic material".
"Let me think about it." Lu Cheng thought for a while and clenched his left hand.
This action does not summon a portal, but summons the crystal spirit of Skarre.
The phoenix-like bird instantly appeared in the air above the room. It flapped its wings and slowly landed on Lu Cheng's...head.
Lu Cheng grabbed the crystal spirit with both hands, and the movement of grabbing was a bit like catching a chicken.
However, the head of this crystal spirit is the same as that of a chicken. No matter how Lu Cheng shakes its head, it can always stay in one place.
"Contracted Person, what is the matter with you summoning me?"
There was a solemnity and sacredness in Scarlett's voice, but there was no solemnity in his current posture.
"Captain Lu, what's going on with this chicken?" Wang Zhixian stared with wide eyes at the creature that suddenly appeared above Lu Cheng's head. He even took off his reading glasses and wiped them, as if he thought his eyes were not working well.
"Uh... is this your first time seeing a talking chicken?" Lu Cheng asked.
"I have two parrots at home. The big one is called Shunqi and the small one is called Liuji. They can speak a few words."
Wang Zhixian just listened to the speed and tone of the bird's speech. It didn't sound like a parrot imitating human pronunciation. It really has the human way of thinking.
"I'm not a chicken! I'm the embodiment of this country! Skarre, the Crystal Spirit!"
Normally, it could accept any treatment from Lu Cheng, including being held in his arms like now. However, it would become extremely irritable when someone treated it as a bird or chicken.
But from Dr. Ji Chuan's research, it seems that it is indeed a close relative of the peacock.
Well…peacocks and domestic chickens belong to the same family…Phasianidae.
“This is how it introduces itself.”
Lu Cheng repeated Scarre's words to Engineer Wang.
After that, Lu Cheng stopped playing with the crystal spirit and placed it on an empty space on his desk.
"There are more monsters and demons in this world than I thought. I saw a fire-breathing lizard a few days ago." Wang Zhixian sighed softly. There are a lot of strange creatures or... monsters in this world. This also means that he needs to take the dangers of these monsters into consideration when building a house.
"Then, great Crystal Spirit, you should know a lot about... yourself, right?"
Lucheng has been very busy in the past half month. Lucheng is the only channel for researchers in the camp to communicate with the research base on Earth, so they have to come to Lucheng for anything they need or any new discoveries.
Secondly, he also supervises Nuoyi's learning progress and helps her sign her homework... Well, Elena's homework is also signed by Lu Cheng.
So Lu Cheng had no time to communicate with the bird.
"What do you want to know? I'll tell you what I know."
Skarre's attitude towards Lucheng is very nice, not just ordinary nice... Lucheng doesn't understand where his friendliness comes from.
"Do you know where this black stone is in the territory of Skarre or in your body?" Lu Cheng took out a small piece of coal from the portal and asked the crystal spirit in front of him.
"My children call this mineral Black Flame Stone. There is a Black Flame Stone mining site in the Royal City."
This crystal spirit has now become a bird-shaped Baidu, of course, this is a version limited to the Skare region.
