The garrison troops in the western region were scouting the terrain while suppressing the orcs and training recruits.
To be honest, there is nothing good in this entire tropical prairie, and the further west you go, the more barren it becomes
Grabbing a handful of sand and gravel on the ground, Guo Zhen rubbed it in his hands. It was very dry and he could feel the obvious graininess.
As soon as he loosened his hand, an uncomfortable hot wind blew past, blowing away the handful of sand and stones in Guo Zhen's hand.
He originally came here to wipe out a wave of jackals.
However, after the mission of clearing and suppressing was over, Guo Zhen glanced at the map and found that the direction further to the west of this area had not been explored yet
With a mentality of 'everyone is here, let's explore the terrain again', he led his soldiers to stay in this area for a few more days.
The fox scouts who were sent out to carry out the investigation mission came back quickly. After listening to the report, Guo Zhen frowned directly, and then, a report was quickly sent to Mingjing City
Looking at the latest report from the Western Territory, several wrinkles appeared between Luo Ji's brows.
"I didn't expect that the edge of the western border is actually a desert"
In a short period of time, Luo Ji had no interest in expanding his territory into the desert. Unless he had no other choice, building a city in the desert would be cost-effective.
Quickly ordered someone to fetch a map of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and now he has almost figured out the terrain in the south, east, north and west.
To the east is grassland, to the south is swamp rainforest and the sea, to the west is desert, and to the north is frozen soil.
Holding a pen, Luo Ji marked these confirmed terrains one by one, and then with a wave of his hand, he directly circled a big circle, enclosing the entire most fertile Central Plains area in one go.
Then, while thinking about it, he asked Lu Yang who was on the side
"Lu Yang, has the latest progress report of the railway project been delivered, and what stage is it in?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, combined with the latest progress and the report from the Engineering Department, all the railways marked as important routes in the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms will be completed within three years."
As a project that Luo Ji paid close attention to, Lu Yang, as an assistant officer, naturally followed up all the way, paying attention to the progress of the project. Now when Luo Ji asked questions, Lu Yang also answered fluently.
The progress of this railway project naturally has a priority. Even in the Chinese modern society, not every city has a train. Of course, Luo Ji was not naive enough to think that he could handle all this in one go.
At present, the important routes with high priority account for almost 20% of the proportion. After the 20% of the routes are completed, Luo Ji will directly transfer 90% of the workers in the project. Let¡¯s build the remaining railways slowly.
"My humble minister, Sun Liang, see Your Majesty!"
The new head of the Construction Engineering Department arrived very quickly. Speaking of which, Sun Liang is already the third head of the Construction Engineering Department, and the previous two have retired.
However, there is no doubt about his ability. Sun Liang has basically been responsible for the construction projects in the past few years.
In order not to disturb Lu Yang and Ye Hua who were dealing with government affairs in the political hall, Luo Ji took Sun Liang directly to the side hall.
Immediately afterwards, he spread the map on the table, and then said to Sun Liang
"Did you see this circle?"
"I see."
"The area inside this circle, I call it the Central Plains, is the most fertile area of ??my civilization."
Listening to His Majesty's explanation, Sun Liang nodded his head again and again, looking very serious, until Luo Ji said that sentence
"I want to build a city wall to enclose the entire Central Plains."
""
"But to be precise, it's not really a city wall, it should be called the Great Wall."
While speaking, Luo Ji directly took pictures of the design drawings he had prepared on the table.
Then he looked up, only to see that at this moment, Sun Liang was smiling, his dark eyes were somewhat slack, and he was standing there motionless.
"Um, what's the matter?"
Luo Ji couldn't help but raised his hand and waved it in front of Sun Liang, but the other party didn't respond at all.
Wang Kai, who was standing on one side, said softly after controlling the twitching of his facial muscles
"Your Majesty, Minister Sun seems to beIs unconscious. "
""
A few minutes later, Sun Liang, who finally regained consciousness, asked with a trembling face after recovering
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Luo Ji looked innocent.
"Take the whole Central Plains, use, use that"
"The Great Wall."
"oh."
After Sun Liang responded, his tone suddenly rose by at least three decibels.
"Surround the entire Central Plains with the Great Wall?!"
When he uttered these words, Sun Liang's entire voice already had a clear breakdown.
And Luo Ji still had that innocent look on his face.
"yes."
""
Having nothing to say, Sun Liang silently covered his liver, no, the liver hurts so much, at this moment, the situation when the previous minister gave him the position of minister before he retired suddenly appeared in his mind.
At that time, the old minister patted him on the shoulder, with a meaningful smile, and only said two words.
"come on."
? At that time, Sun Liang didn¡¯t think much about it, he just thought it was the old minister encouraging himself. Looking back now, coupled with the old minister¡¯s meaningful smile, he suddenly understood, so the meaning of ¡°come on¡± is this? !
Where is refueling here? It is simply fatal!
The Great Wall enclosing the entire Central Plains? The length is definitely more than ten thousand miles, he doesn't even want to think about it!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I dare to ask, why, why did you build the Great Wall?"
Not to mention Sun Liang, even in the eyes of other people, this approach is incomprehensible.
The appearance of the cannon has greatly reduced the value of the city wall. At this time, such a shocking project was carried out just to build a circle of low-value city walls? What's the point?
Regarding this, Luo Ji became slightly distressed. As a super-large gold-level five-star man-made wonder, the Great Wall naturally has its powerful effect.
The first effect is to increase the comprehensive combat power of the defending army by 50%, and the default morale is +5
The second effect is that within the scope of the effect, the recruiting efficiency of one's own civilization is increased by 50%!
In addition, the Great Wall has one of the most important characteristics, that is, how big your circle is, the scope of effect will be as big.
In other words, if Luo Ji circled the Central Plains, the entire Central Plains would be within the effective range of the Great Wall!
Just for the effect of hanging|exploding the sky, Luo Ji wanted to build the Great Wall.
He even thought it through, to enclose the Central Plains first, and then wait until the territory continues to expand. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will enclose the entire continent. It is simply invincible!
But he couldn't explain this to Sun Liang.
In the end, Luo Ji could only pat Sun Liang on the shoulder, and said earnestly
"Sun Liang, I naturally have my own considerations about this matter."
