"In general, the first phase of Dawn City's construction has been completed, and the total population we can accommodate is about 30,000 people. If the second phase of construction is completed, this number can be expanded to 50,000 people. Ms. Lisi's suggestion is that 50,000 people is already the limit we can accommodate at this stage. If it is not necessary, there is no need to expand the city. Instead, we should start the actual profitable business such as the development of factories and resources. The aristocrats also hope to see substantial returns soon." Theon smiled and said: "So in the second phase of the urban planning, residential buildings only accounted for one-third. The rest is the production of various factories The base and these buildings can absorb more than 20,000 people from residents to workers. According to the current progress, the second district will be put into use in March and May. Of course, the buildings on Black Rose Avenue have to be refurbished, so The whole project will be slightly delayed."
Nodding his head, he said, "Let's proceed according to your plan. To be honest, you and Biss are the experts in this regard."
Others followed suit with their own progress reports.
After Theon sat down, Brown reported to Zero the current military status of Dawn City. When the construction of Dawn City was first started, there were only hundreds of soldiers brought in by the original company, but now it can develop to the present, under the condition of continuous addition of foreign population. The original army of hundreds of people has now expanded to more than 3,000 people. Under the principle that the more expensive and the more expensive, Brown has issued very strict indicators to the officers who select soldiers under him, so as to ensure that the soldiers who enlist in the army have good qualities.
And every three months, there will be an assessment. The content of the assessment is divided into ten subjects from physical fitness to tactics. Those who fail to pass the assessment in two or more subjects will be cleared out of the army immediately. In contrast, the salary of a soldier in Dawn City is even higher than that of the barracks in Asgard. Under such a system, even if the soldiers in Dawn City had strict enlistment conditions, they would be cleared out of the army if they were not careful.
There are still many young people submitting applications every month. It is worth mentioning that the army in Dawn City is very special. They are not composed of pure humans, and there are many alien races among them. This is directly related to the fact that non-races account for one-third of the population of urban residents. It can be said that Dawn City is the first city where humans and aliens live together.
In the beginning, there were conflicts between human inhabitants and alien races. But after nearly a year of running-in, they have basically been able to live in harmony. The blueprint that Zero conceived before has already filled in part of the picture.
When it comes to the army, we have to talk about weapons and equipment. This aspect is in charge of the Weapons Research Institute chaired by Dr. Ke De. During Zero's trip to the Western Continent, Dr. Ke De was able to upgrade the equipment used by the Dawn City army by one or two levels. Originally, Zero's own company was an arsenal. After Dr. Ke De took over, he made adjustments and optimizations on the basis of the original firearms.
Now the standard equipment for soldiers is the Dark Blood 3 rifle, which has almost doubled the power and accuracy compared to before. As for the sniper rifle, the most powerful one is naturally the improved battleship artillery, but ordinary soldiers can't use this kind of big gun, so Dr. Kodd designed a reduced version, called the wasteland hunter's sniper rifle. The long-range advantage of the battleship artillery is retained, but the power and recoil are weakened so that soldiers can use it freely.
Right now, Brown is training a sniper squad. The training will be completed in two months, and the members of this squad will be dispersed into the army to play a supporting role.
After the completion of the second phase of urban construction, there will be a heavy weapon assembly line factory, and then Dr. Kodd's design can be used to produce heavy firepower weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy artillery turrets. In the past six months, Dr. Ke De started to develop a new type of tank. Ling's locomotive is just his casual work, and the output is not much, only five or six. The latest achievement is a concept vehicle called "Sidewinder", which looks like a cross between an off-road vehicle and a tank. It adopts the semi-open cockpit of off-road vehicles and the crawler propulsion system of tanks. On both sides are large-caliber cannon launch pads that can be extended and suspended, and the rear vehicle is also equipped with a small missile launch bay.
This chariot is also driven by a high-energy system, which makes it more powerful and highly flexible. Dr. Curd designed it to be faster and more powerful. The Sidewinder is currently undergoing final commissioning. After successful debugging, mass production can be carried out, but with the current level of the arsenal in Dawn City, only the parts of the chariot can be produced, and the main engine components still have to be purchased from the factory in Asgard.
But after the construction of the city in the second district is completed, new production equipment will be introduced, and Shuguang City will be able to independently complete the production of this type of tank. Dr. Curd also designed a pared-down version of the "Flamingo" chariot, which was mainly sold to the wealthy and nobles of Asgard. At present, Theon has only secretly demonstrated to the two giants, and has already received orders for 300 vehicles.
Theon added: "This is just the beginning, and it is something we give back to our business partners. As long as they understand that their investment can be converted into benefits here, there will be more and more such investments. And After the second district city is completed, there will be more weapons and chariots like the Flamingo. However, I personally think that whether it is a wealthy family or an Asgard official, the war weapons dumped on them should be slightly controlled. Furthermore , what they are really interested in us is environmental purification technology.”
"The shield of Nethereth requires very special energy. I'm afraid there is no way to mass-produce this kind of thing." Zero, who took over the Green City of Hammeris, still knows something about the shield of Nethereth.
"The last time the Red Grand Duke personally escorted the Leishishield currently in use in Dawn City, he also brought a technical team from Green City to stay in Dawn City. I discussed with these technicians." En smiled and said: "The complete Raisin shield cannot be mass-produced, and such an important core technology cannot be completely sold to wealthy families, even if they may pay more than Asgard's official itself. Therefore, me and Ludu's Technologists have discussed whether it is possible to reduce the performance of the Reis shield and make a purification device that can be mass-produced. In fact, in terms of the average quality of current creatures, it is not necessary to have the surface environment of the old era to survive. As long as the current amount of radiation is reduced by half, even ordinary people like me can live very well."
Zero heard a sign, but he hadn't thought about it in this regard. He nodded, motioning for Theon to continue.
"Of course, I just put forward an idea. But the technologists think it's feasible, but it's not an easy job to reduce the performance of the Rath Shield. I've arranged a research base for them now, and I'm afraid it will take some time before the results come out." Come out. As far as the technologists say, the most difficult part of the reduced version of the Rayshield is still the energy aspect. They are currently proposing a relatively mature idea, using a kind of extraction device to extract radiation from space for transformation, When it plays the role of synchronous purification, it can also provide recycled clean energy for the device. Otherwise, the use of other energy sources may cause secondary pollution, which will lose the function and significance of the purification device.”
He nodded, and said to Theon: "The reduced version of the Razor Shield is of great significance, Mr. Theon, you and Biss can relax some research funds in this area."
"We know how to do it." Theon smiled and nodded.
Next is the report of the Burning Legion, which is naturally presided over by Eva. At present, this army of biological and chemical weapons, the sharp-edged hunter and the giant shield guard, which have been mass-produced and put into use as elementary biological weapons, these two most common weapons have participated in the expansion operation of Dawn City many times, and have cleared abnormalities many times. The actual combat of turning into creatures can be said to be a very mature biological weapon.
Compared with the biological weapons independently developed by Asgard, the biological weapon design blueprints extracted from the Dark Crown and then modified and debugged weapons have the highest intelligence and action autonomy. The above two weapons have proved this point in many actual battles, especially the battle at the Haraka Theater, which brought the advantages of biological weapons to the extreme.
Right now, Eva is debugging a mid-tier weapon. It appeared on the big screen, showing a diorama of this mid-tier weapon. At first glance, its appearance is similar to those capable users of the mutant domain. Humanoid, the surface of the body is covered with biological armor, and there are natural patterns on the armor. Eva explained that these lines are actually the energy circuit of the biological weapon. When it is activated and acted, the lines will be lit up, forming gorgeous magic lines.
The name of this kind of biological weapon is the magic pattern warrior, and their armor and weapons are all naturally generated. Magwen warriors have higher intelligence, and they can even become the field commander of the army. Using them as nodes, they can be combined with command terminals to form an effective command network.
It can be said that the appearance of the magic pattern warrior will be an important turning point for the Burning Legion. With the participation of the magic pattern warrior, the combat effectiveness of the entire Burning Legion will be doubled. This kind of force is comparable to human seventh-level ability users, and can also serve as biological weapons for command nodes. Currently, Eva is debugging a total of five. After debugging, they will conduct several actual combat tests to obtain more accurate data for adjustment, and then mass production can be considered.
At this point, the report from Dawn City is roughly over. Zero stood up and said: "During this time, everyone has worked hard. I am ashamed to say that, as the initiator of the Dawn City construction plan, I did not participate in its construction process, but entrusted the heavy responsibility of building it to everyone. On. Fortunately, our trip to the Western Continent was not all fruitless. The biggest gain was naturally the establishment of an ally relationship with the city of Rome in the Western Continent. The practical gains included the biochemical seminar hosted by Dr. Ji Ya. The warrior transformation project and the contract with Belafal, the lord of the Northern Ocean, will allow us to travel unimpeded on the sea from now on. The most direct benefit is that a group of sea beasts called seahorses followed us back to Harbor City. They are not fighting sea beasts, but they are powerful enough to tow cargo ships, and will be an important tool for our future maritime transportation."
Although zero is a few words, everyone who listens is moved. Not to mention the strength of the city of Rome that was allied with it, the gains in terms of the transformation of biochemical warriors and the acquisition of the right of passage at sea are already not trivial.
