According to the construction of the immortal city, generally speaking, the most basic population that each immortal city can accommodate is two million. The minimum population reaches 300,000 or 500,000, and it can operate smoothly. Normally, more than one million is considered the most common, and two million is the peak. If the population increases further, it will cause a considerable burden on the immortal city. For example, food, daily travel, and even the state of daily life will be affected.
For officials in the fairy city, a large population means that the difficulty of management will rise sharply, chaos will be created, criminals will be bred, and the possibility of breaking the law will increase exponentially. The chaos caused will have a great impact on stability.
Of course, this is also a test. It tests the abilities of the masters of the major immortal cities in all aspects. Whether they can control the situation is the biggest test of their own abilities. As long as they can hold on, there is no doubt that their own abilities will be honed and their real strength will be greatly increased. In the future, it will play a crucial role in their direct promotion to important positions.
However, this population of more than one trillion is far from the real population of Dayi. Don't forget that Yi Tianxing's Hongmeng Tiandi Tower houses a large number of soldiers, both men and women, and the specific number is also calculated in trillions. The losses in the Eternal Night battlefield were not small, but the number of people gained was even more astonishing. It was completely beyond imagination.
Yi Tianxing estimated that the specific number was about hundreds of trillions. Fortunately, they were all kept in the Hongmeng Tiandi Tower and not released directly, otherwise, the pressure on Dayi would be immeasurable. Even many soldiers were sent to the world where the time pocket watch was located, temporarily sleeping and sealing in a way that time stopped, waiting for recovery.
Therefore, with Dayi's current population base, it can fully support large-scale expansion.
Of course, now, the first thing is to solve the population pressure that Dayi is facing now and release this pressure completely.
In fact, given the current situation in Dayi, if the population is released directly and cities are built in the territory, the pressure can be relieved, but it will break the fundamental purpose of building the fairy city before, which is to suppress the wilderness with the fairy city. One fairy city can suppress an area of 1,000 miles.
This is not without significance.
The existence of wilderness is also important.
"How is the work that I ordered the Ministry of Works to do now?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
His eyes also turned to the Minister of Works Pei Ju.
Pei Ju heard this and naturally took a step forward. He came to the main hall and bowed and said, "Back then, the Emperor instructed the Ministry of Works and the Tiangong Pavilion to build immortal cities together. With a large amount of manpower and material resources, a total of 300 immortal cities were built in the first year. On average, one was built a day. In the second year, there were more people and a total of 400 were built. In the third year, the number reached 600. So far, a total of more than 20,000 immortal cities have been built. They can be used at any time."
Twenty thousand immortal cities may seem like a lot, but compared to Dayi, these are not many. Each immortal city is calculated based on the initial basic population of 500,000. It can only accommodate more than 100 billion people. Relatively speaking, Dayi's immortal cities are still not enough, not to mention that the soldiers stored in the Hongmeng Tiandi Tower can also be quickly converted into population.
These fairy cities are still just a drop in the bucket.
"Not enough. The number of immortal cities is far from enough. The population of Dayi is growing very fast. It is not enough to change the situation. My dear ministers, do you have any good ideas?"
Yi Tianxing shook his head and spoke.
"Emperor."
Gong Shulin, the head of Tiangong Pavilion, stepped out and said respectfully, "The reason why we can't build more immortal cities is not because of manpower, but because the speed of the Heavenly Fire Furnace to smelt Xuanhuang bricks is not fast enough, and the output is not high enough. Now, the Heavenly Fire Furnace has been integrated into the Cloud Realm and can be separated into sub-bodies. From now on, the Heavenly Fire Furnace can exert its stronger effect faster. Hundreds of Heavenly Fire Furnaces can be started at the same time as long as there are enough Xuanhuang bricks. With the joint efforts of Tiangong Pavilion and the Ministry of Industry, a large number of skilled workers and civilians can be summoned. Ten or even a hundred immortal cities can be built within a day."
There was a certainty and a strong sense of confidence in his voice.
Why have we only built this little fairy city in these years? Isn't it because the production can't keep up? Only the Skyfire Furnace can cast raw materials on a large scale. You know, now the Skyfire Furnace is fully replenished with all the strange fires. Once it is fully activated, the power generated is naturally beyond imagination. The abilities of the separated sub-bodies are not much different. It is too easy to just cast Xuanhuang bricks.
Over the years, some people have chosen to become city builders, specifically to build immortal cities for the Dayi Dynasty.
However, people thought that the threshold was really low, just moving some bricks. In fact, it was also a technical job. Not only did you need to know how to engrave runes, but you also needed to know simple Feng Shui architecture. You had to know how to lay out the layout. Which building was best to be placed in which place. How to plan the streets. Building a city does not mean just building a city. The basic facilities inside must also be built. At least people can live and settle down once they move in.
It is worth mentioning that Dayi has made some achievements in the past 20 years. In terms of architecture, it has been constantly improving. The art of space has been integrated into the architecture. For example, a house where the people live. In the mansion, a space that is much larger than the mansion seen outside is opened up by using the method of mustard seed containing Sumeru. It is ten times, or even more than a hundred times, and then new houses are built in this space. This construction method is called the Qiankun construction method. It saves space as much as possible and can accommodate a large number of people. There will be no crowding. It is also very convenient to go out. With your own Tianji card, it is the key to enter and exit the Qiankun space where you are. It is simple and convenient. This kind of Qiankun cave is quite happy in the hearts of the people of Dayi.
Because, in the Qiankun Cave, one can still see the scenery of the fairy city, including the sun, moon, and stars. This method, invisibly, makes the space in the fairy city seem to expand and become larger.
If it weren't for this pioneering breakthrough in technology, the current immortal city of the Great Yi Dynasty would not be able to support such a large population.
Now in Tiangong Pavilion, there is a group of people who are studying how to enhance the application of Qiankun Cave Mansion, hoping to make Qiankun Cave Mansion bigger. You know, there are three types of Qiankun Cave Mansion now, one is three miles in radius, one is five miles in radius, and the other is ten miles in radius. Ten miles is already a very difficult range to break through.
According to Dayi's planning and construction, there are 100 households living in the three-li space. A household here is just one family. Even if it is a family including three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, it can be accommodated. Even if it is to accommodate tens of thousands of people living in it, it is not a problem.
Therefore, in an immortal city, it is necessary to build Qiankun Cave Mansions for the various residential mansions in the immortal city. These all require special skills.
Nowadays, in Dayi, a large number of talents have devoted themselves to the field of architecture and studied the art of Qiankun Cave Mansion.
"Very good. We must hurry up when it comes to casting the Immortal City. We cannot slack off at all. We must not cause any burden to Dayi when building the Immortal City."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
When saying this, we can also see that Zhuge Liang, Yang Ye and other military officials are all very concerned. This time when returning to the Eternal World, everyone knows very well that Dayi must expand, and the expansion will be very huge. Their military is naturally the main force. They are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid that the logistics will not keep up. What is logistics? For them, logistics is the fairy city, and there must be enough fairy cities to support their expansion.
Consolidate the fruits of victory.
Now with the guarantee from Tiangong Pavilion and the Ministry of Works, we are naturally very satisfied.
"By the way, who created the Qiankun Cave Mansion technique and what are the details? Can you tell me more?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
It has to be said that this Qiankun Cave Mansion technique has created huge benefits for Dayi, but the specific situation still needs to be carefully understood.
"The art of Qiankun Cave Mansion was proposed by a genius in Tiangong Pavilion, named Hu Zeyang. He was proficient in the art of architecture. He found that the population of Dayi was growing and the living space was being compressed. So he proposed whether the method of mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru could be integrated into the construction of various mansions. Then, many skilled craftsmen in Tiangong Pavilion, in cooperation with the talents in the Immortal Academy, overcame various difficulties and finally created the art of Qiankun Cave Mansion."
"The current Qiankun Cave Mansion can only be used for living, but not for growing various flowers, plants and trees. However, we in the Tiangong Pavilion have been conducting further research and have established a team with Hu Zeyang as the core to be responsible for this matter. In our conception, the Qiankun Cave Mansion can not only be used for living, but also for growing various flowers, plants and trees, and even for building a medicinal garden. Growing food is almost the same as a real paradise."
Gongshu Lin spoke up and was very proud of this matter.
Speaking of Hu Zeyang, he is a survivor from the modern civilized world. He originally studied design and architecture. Moreover, he is a genius in this field, with all kinds of ideas, wild imagination, and in many aspects, he can open his mind more freely and have a richer imagination.
"What is needed to build the Qiankun Cave Mansion?"
After learning about Hu Zeyang's background, Yi Tianxing nodded secretly. Talents do not only come from outstanding celebrities in history. They have indeed proved themselves in history. However, there are more geniuses who were buried in the past, but now they are re-emerging after the great waves. In the Great Yi, as long as you have talent, you will naturally have the opportunity to stand out. Just like Hu Zeyang.
Of course, this kind of Qiankun Cave Mansion technique is definitely not something that can be accomplished easily.
