The initial completion of Winter City allowed Luo Ji to free up a group of manpower, which he planned to invest in the construction of various military fortresses.
It is worth mentioning here that this military fortress cannot be built just by finding an open space.
If you build a military fortress on a flat ground, it doesn't make any sense at all. Pushing a dozen cannons from the opposite side can blow you into ruins.
Choosing the terrain is a very particular thing. Take the Beishan Fortress of the Myriad Worlds Civilization as an example, it is directly blocked on the pass of the entire Beidi Mountain Range, and there is a Grand Canyon outside. This is the terrain!
The Black Mountain Fort on the other side of the dwarven province has a pretty good terrain.
And the construction engineering department is confirming the blueprint, not to mention the Yangtze River Fortress that is about to be constructed.
In this wave, once Luo Ji expands his territory, he will be able to block the invading enemies from this side on the other side of the Yangtze River.
A building like a military fortress has to be built on this terrain!
The progress reports of various projects continued to be sent up, and before the winter of this year, the construction engineering department had officially presented the design blueprint of the Yangtze River Fortress to Luo Ji.
After all, they had never built any ports before, and now Luo Ji asked them to design a Yangtze River fortress that combined the fortress and port into one, and it really took them a lot of work.
After Luo Ji had seen the design blueprint, he swiped a pen, and the construction of the Yangtze River Fortress officially started.
This winter, the civilization of Ten Thousand Realms is not peaceful, there are many roaring steam engines, and the entire civilization is completely about to enter the industrial age.
Leaning in the political hall full of earth dragons, Luo Ji, who finished reviewing the report in front of him, stretched vigorously, then picked up the hot tea in his hand, and drank it slowly.
Just now, the latest report sent up told him that another coal vein had been hollowed out.
At present, there are actually many coal mines in his Ten Thousand Realms civilization, and the output is quite high. The depletion of a mine vein will not have much impact on him.
However, Luo Ji is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace. Next, the development of his Myriad Worlds civilization will enter the industrial age. By then, the consumption of coal will inevitably double, or even increase by more than ten times. We cannot relax.
After thinking up to this point, Luo Ji resolutely recorded the matter in his portable notebook.
He is actually a person with a good memory, but he is busy with government affairs and there are too many things, which may cause some things to be forgotten, so he developed the habit of taking notes early on.
And during this period, this winter was undoubtedly cold for the gray elves who had just surrendered.
Obviously it wasn't that cold in previous years, but this year it's only early winter, and it's already so cold that Tellier has wrapped himself in several bloated coats regardless of his demeanor.
The stove in the castle was clearly burning, but even if they got close to the stove, Teller and Sera could still clearly feel an irresistible chill.
By the way, it is worth mentioning here that Luo Ji did not intend to occupy the Gray Elf Castle, but directly changed it to the City Lord's Mansion of Sunset City, allowing Trill and Sera to continue living there.
At the same time, he didn't take the magic crystals, magic cores, and spell books in the castle's treasure house for nothing. He gave Tellier and the others a huge sum of money.
As for how much is this huge sum of money?
To put it simply, even if they don't do anything from now on, they can live a wealthy life for decades, and for ordinary people, it is estimated that they can live a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing .
For this huge sum of money, Teller and Serra basically didn't take it seriously.
What do they have? Where is this needed?
At that time, only Mia knew the value of this huge sum of money, so when the reward was distributed, it was Mia who kept it.
The door of the castle hall opened slowly. Mia, who walked in from the outside, looked at her mother and brother who were so cold that they almost lost their demeanor and just wanted to curl up next to the stove to warm up. She couldn't help being stunned.
"How did you freeze like this? Didn't you wear the clothes I sent you before?"
"The weather is too cold this winter, those few clothes are so thin, what's the use of wearing them?"
While speaking, Terrell turned his head, seeing what his sister was wearing at this time, he almost fell into a daze.
"Mia, you are really crazy, you can't wear so little for the sake of being beautiful, you will get sick from the cold! ???
At this moment, Mia was only wearing a white turtleneck that looked rather thin. Tellier admitted that the dress was pretty, and Mia was also very beautiful in it, but the problem was that it was too much. A little thinner?
As a mother, Sierra obviously thought so too, and quickly pulled Mia to the side of the stove, and was about to take off her coat and put it on Mia.
In this regard, Mia showed a helpless expression on her face, and at the same time sighed softly
"I'm really not cold, if you don't believe me, take a look."
Helpless Mia directly held the hands of her mother Sera with her own.
At that moment, Sera could clearly feel that, unlike their cold hands and feet, Mia's hands were unexpectedly warm
Looking at her mother who is completely confused, Mia is also quite distressed. How should this kind of thing be explained?
She can't say that she is wearing thermal underwear inside, and the outer one is an expensive but warm cashmere sweater, right? So, her mother and elder brother probably still don't understand.
In the end, he simply urged them to hurry up and change into the clothes they bought.
Feeling the astonishing comfort, both Sera and Terrier couldn't help being amazed. They couldn't figure out what the reason for this dress was. It looked so thin, but it was thinner than their coats. warm.
And just as they were thinking this, the chief guard of Lille walked in from the outside.
After surrendering, the elf mages and griffin knights of their gray elves were officially incorporated and joined the army. The silver armor guards were left behind for them, and they are currently responsible for the security of the gray elves castle.
"Mr. Mia, the courier has delivered."
"Has it finally been delivered?"
After hearing this, Mia was greatly relieved.
Before the winter, she specially rushed to the nearby wood elf city to purchase a lot of things.
However, there is no road at all on the road leading to Sunset City, the road is difficult to walk, and the carriage transportation is not fast, so it has not been delivered until now.
"Hurry up and move in."
Under Mia's signal, one thing after another kept moving into the Gray Elf Castle. It took only a while to fill up half of the hall, but the things were not finished yet
Feeling the eyes cast by her mother and brother, Mia introduced it quite simply.
She bought a lot of things because she felt that everything was missing in the Gray Elf Castle.
For example, mattresses and quilts, she has never discovered before that the quilts in the castle are not warm at all. When she sleeps these days, she is wearing pajamas and wrapped in quilts, and she can still feel the obvious chill.
In addition, there are a series of utensils and daily necessities such as heaters, pendulum clocks, soaps, toothbrushes, etc. Anyway, the mother and brother who stood aside were a little dizzy.
