Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Three: Dig Deep, Accumulate Grain
"The information is incomplete, but the gods are all having some problems now, as if they are sleeping collectively. God knows when they will wake up. The first wave of war does not have much threat, and may not even be launched between the Continent of the Gods and the State of China."
"Geographically speaking, China is the first to be hit?"
"Further north, there is the Ashes Continent, and the three empires may set up there and then sneak attack on the Warcraft Continent."
"Why is this?"
"The World of Warcraft Continent is divided into many empires, which are easy to break each one. Shenzhou is a piece of iron, and it is better to put it behind and wait until the gods wake up before taking action." Chu Cheng was not an analysis. In his previous life, the three empires of the World of Gods did the same. First practice the World of Warcraft Continent, adapt to wars in other worlds, and then turn around to attack Shenzhou Continent.
Under the glory of the gods, the three empires did not look down on everything.
"When the war breaks out, will you clean up the thorns first?" Luo Yan asked a key question. Qingcheng also analyzed this kind of thing, but there was no result, even if it was inclined.
"Yes, I will force me to take the team and ask me to send troops to attack the World of Warcraft."
Chu Cheng knew the gods very well. Don’t look at the Thorn Leader living very freely now, that’s because they are not ready yet. You purchase information from the Gods Continent, and through you, you will also understand the Galaxy Universe.
"What if we lose?"
Chu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The world we went to before was rather dead than surrender. Among the remains, the final outcome of people like us, who were distorted, strengthened, grew rapidly, and possessed the power of the evil spirits."
"Are you going crazy together?" Luo Yan sat on the bed, a little dazed.
Such a result was really bad. In the ruins, she saw countless monsters, each of which was twisted from the inside out, and her mind and body were extremely filthy.
There is no more beauty, this is the worst ending.
"So, we really have no way out."
"I know, let's continue." Luo Yan checked the family background of the Thorn Leader. There were various detailed data above the illusion, and everything about Thorn Leader was unfolding in her eyes.
"Now start preparing for elite troops?"
"False soul crystals can directly create elites of legendary level. I think it can be adjusted down to one level. The cost of fourth-level plague creatures will be much lower. If it can have a siege effect, one hundred fourth-levels will be cheaper than one fifth-level. Moreover, a fifth-level continuous combat ability is definitely not as strong as one hundred fourth-levels."
Luo Yan nodded. The cost of plague organisms is the production of embryos, and the other is the food needed during the growth process.
Needless to say, embryo manufacturing involves spells and consumes energy. In Gaia, without the technological energy of the Galaxy Universe, consumption of energy is a very realistic problem.
Directly creating a legendary creature is a hundred times more expensive than a fourth-level creature.
The subsequent diet is the same. A magic lord needs more than ten times the food that is the fourth-level plague mage. It doesn't sound that scary, but this diet is needed every day.
Daily maintenance costs, repair costs, legendary plague creatures are also far higher than fourth-order creatures.
The excellent thing about the Plague Legion is that it does not require special practice materials, but only requires food. For example, adding some medicines to military rations can enhance the stability of genes and improve the speed of advancement.
The thorn leader consumes a lot of food every day, and 90% of it is used on plague creatures.
The Thorns Territory has a huge number of plague mages. If you raise so many magicians, you don’t need that much food, but the consumption of various magic potions and magic crystals becomes quite terrifying.
In contrast, food is always easier to obtain than magic potions and crystals.
Every time Chucheng's fleet went to the mainland of China, it actually brought back a lot of food and sent it to the Thorn Crown. Then the Thorn Corps also needed a lot of them. Last time, ten legions sold them, emptied the family's assets here, and continued to purchase food for several months, which gave Thorn Corps the ability to continue producing plague creatures.
Luo Yan has only seen clearly now that most of the trade income in Chucheng is used to purchase grain and produce military rations.
He placed the seeds given to him by Qingcheng on the Crown of Thorns to produce military rations that can provide high-level plague creatures, and it is also easy to store them. Ordinary grains are used to produce low-level plague creatures, which is a big head. In the Crown of Thorns, large areas of farmland, high-level grains produced, and the remaining ones are strategically reserved, and no rice will be sold.
The thorn leader has been preparing for war.
That night, Luo Yan memorized the information about the Thorns and began to think about the problem as the owner. And it was also from that night that she was no longer a little girl.
The most common change for adults is responsibility.
It was soon the end of the year, and two good news came. One was that Qingcheng completed the design of the communication formation, and the other was that Qingcheng helped Thorns lead immigrants, select talents or children from the humans in the Galaxy Universe, and enter the Thorn Crown.
Because of the more land, the crown of Thorns has many mountains around it, it is less affected by the sea breeze.
Moreover, there is a lot of rainfall in the crown of Thorns, fresh water is not a problem.
Qingcheng has provided effective support this time. Now the crown of thorns is covered with magic plants. It will be covered with green in a few years, making it more suitable for human life.
If we look at the situation of the ancient earth, no one would be willing to immigrate to the sea and on the lonely islands.
However, in the modern era of the Galaxy Universe, humans have become accustomed to living in remote star domains and away from the solar system. The urban construction of Thorn Crown is based on the standards of the Emperor Daxia Empire. The living environment of Thorn Crown is second-hand, mainly because there is a school that can learn various skills.
Only by having a professional status can you enter a technical factory and have a stable income.
If you have poor research or manufacturing capabilities, you can join the army. Everyone is used to this kind of thing. It is better to join the army than wandering in a barren land. In the area that has not been opened up in Daxia, there are a large number of monsters, and the natural system is quite cruel. People who are outside Daxia have never thought of going to the crown of Thorns to enjoy their happiness.
Give them a serious job and they are satisfied.
When Qingcheng selects people, of course, he will not choose a gangster for Chucheng. There are some people who are willing to work and get their wages.
For Qingcheng, this little thing is just the construction of a medium-sized city, and for Chucheng, it is equivalent to having a stable rear.
He doesn't need much power. According to the standards of the Galaxy Universe, a medium-sized city has a population of three million.
In a large city, it is tens of millions of dollars, and Chucheng cannot afford to support so many people.
Chu Cheng and Luo Yan did not study any combat skills during this period, but instead spent all their energy on integrating the thorny tribe.
With Luo Yan, Chu Cheng found that she was really a magical assistant. She looked like a little girl before, but the knowledge in her mind was so rich that it was not decent.
The thorn-grand system was clearly defined one by one, from rules and regulations to etiquette and clothing, all of which were prepared.
The production capacity of Thornling is good, and high-level things cannot be made, or it needs to be done manually by Chu Cheng, but low-level things can be mass-produced.
The distant crown of thorns, with the west side of the crater, the lord's mansion of Chu City rose from the ground.
Behind the Lord's Mansion is a mountain that is more than 800 meters high. The peak is engraved with countless characters and patterns, which look solemn and magnificent. The formation of the Lord's Mansion is combined with this mountain formation and is indestructible.
Wang Qinglong is now in charge of the Thorn Corps and lives in the new Lord's Mansion.
After marrying Luo Yan, the population of Chu City's Thorn Crown has grown rapidly. At this time, the Thorn Corps on the Continent of the Gods became relatively less important.
However, there is also a production line for plague creatures here. Legendary plague creatures are all produced in the sea and are slowly created in deep-submersed ships. Fourth-level plague mages are also built in deep-submersed ships. Only other types can be produced in factories on land.
In January of the following year, Chucheng recovered its vitality, and the grain inventory on the Thorns led to grow back.
The grain purchased from Shenzhou and transported by ship is more expensive than buying from other nobles on the Continent of Gods, but Chucheng's trade share is all used on magic crystals so that it will not buy grain from the local area.
Luo Yan reminded Chu Cheng that when the war broke out, the speed of grain production immediately became a problem.
So the Thorn Crown began to store grain and use a magic warehouse to store it. Qingcheng has such a method to use the ground veins to arrange formations to save the consumption of magic crystals. The Thorn Crown has a good terrain, huge craters, and microbial material technology, which can slowly create an extremely solid warehouse.
The warehouse itself is also an underground fortification.
This process takes twenty or thirty years. There is no effect in the previous year, and then warehouses are formed one by one, which can keep the food fresh for a long time.
Warehouses like Qingcheng have been built long ago.
Digging deep holes and accumulating grain, the ancients did not deceive me.
New false soul crystals, various energy crystals, and advanced food crops are all important materials stored in the Crown of Thorns. In addition, Chu Cheng can purify a large amount of rare metals every day from the Magic Book of Divine Skins, and it will also be used as a strategic reserve to send them to the Crown of Thorns.
Chu Bai’s daily work now is to transfer the materials that Chucheng purified.
Chu Cheng himself taught the students under the thorns, presided over the trade, and created plague mercenaries. His subordinates were dispersed and done their own things.
