In the spring of 1880 in the mainland human calendar, this is a day worth remembering.

After half a year of rest, the ministers of the Zong Palace and His Majesty Odin formulated a new plan for the third round of eight-year economic development plan.

Different from previous planning projects, the new eight-year plan covers a wider territory and a larger population.

It should be noted that the territory of the Danube River today is the largest among all countries, not even the Central Royal Court occupying the central Lop Nur Plain, and the topography of the Danube River is more complex.

west;

Needless to say, it is close to the Endless Mountains, with undulating mountains, criss-crossing forest ridges, and huge terrain differences. This part has the highest proportion of uninhabited wilderness.

middle part;

The terrain difference is slightly better, with hills, plains, and mountains. Rainwater flowing from the high altitudes in the west forms main branches of large and small rivers, mainly concentrated in this part.

As a result, the forest in this part of the country grows very densely and rapidly. Just repairing and clearing the highway every year requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

east;

This part has the best geographical location, the climate is closer to the southeastern coast, the rainfall and rivers are moderate, and the terrain is flatter. Logically speaking, this eastern region should be the most economically prosperous and densely populated urban gathering place.

In fact it is not.

Although the eastern part of the New Danube has an advantageous geographical location, it has been on a border that has been prone to wars for many years. There have been constant conflicts between the old Lanche, the old Danube, and the old Tijuana, and minor frictions have been frequent.

If you stay in this kind of political environment for a long time, no matter how good the geographical environment is, it will be difficult to thrive.

And now that the New Danube River has merged with the territories of the three countries, a new problem has inevitably arisen.

That’s because the area is too big! It’s so big that it’s difficult to describe the experience using direct words.

What impressed Odin most about the original Old Danube territory was the second year when he became a baron. At that time, he followed Oranke and rode a big black (dragon scale horse with some thin dragon blood) from Bloodhoof Castle to Windsang.

The leader went to talk to Count Cromuth to discuss business.

He remembered clearly that the two men, who were lightly dressed, had to drive seven days and six nights on horseback to reach Giant Leaf City.

Now, he has spent a lot of effort to build high-speed roads that connect all city circles. It is clearly shown on the light screen map that Leilong Mountain City is the starting point and Juye City is the end point.

The actual accurate distance of the expressway connecting the two points is 2483km.

If Dahei were allowed to run at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, he would need to run non-stop for 36 hours to complete the distance.

But is it actually possible? Does everyone have a dragon-blooded horse? Don’t horses rest? Don’t people rest?

It is unrealistic to be too idealistic. In real life, if one person and one horse travel lightly, it would normally take a week to ride such a long distance.

This is still the case when taking the expressway.

Now the territory has changed. The easternmost city is no longer Giant Leaf City, but Laika City.

On the light curtain map, the actual distance from Leilong Mountain City to Laika City is as high as 3135km!

Assuming that an official of the Supreme Temple of Laika City needs to go to the Royal City to report on government affairs, a round trip will take at least a full month. This is assuming that everything goes well.

Can such government affairs reports be timely? Are they effective?

the answer is negative.

In fact, this is not the most serious. The most serious thing is from Thunder Dragon Mountain City in the northwest corner of the new territory to Tangen City in the southeast corner of the territory. These two points are equivalent to the two diagonal distances of a rectangle. In the rectangle, the distance is

The two furthest points.

The highway distance between these two cities reaches a terrifying 3770km on the light screen map.

It's too far away. The word "mountain is high and the emperor is far away" is no longer enough to describe it.

Fortunately, Master Odin became king and built a highway. If there were no highways, the residents of these two places would be the same as the people of the two worlds.

But even with highways, it is still very inconvenient to convey important matters.

if!

Tijuana was determined to be evil and sent troops to occupy the city circle of Taung City, with no one allowed in or out.

In this case, it may take Odin several months in the royal city to receive news that Taung City has been occupied.

Of course, this is an assumption and can only exist as an assumption.

The fifth-level reconnaissance vision of the God King Statue of the Heart of Faith is not in vain. It takes a total of 10 million faith power to upgrade from lv1 (normal perspective) to the current lv5 (super long sight range). This is just a single statue.

As the name suggests, the ability of lv5 super long sight range means that it can see very wide. With the statue of the God King as the center of the circle, the radius is 50km, which means that a radius of 100 kilometers is covered by the statue's field of vision.

For this first-level 5km radius, this is not a super long sight range.

But the problem is that ultra-long-range sight cannot solve the delay in personnel exchanges and message transmission. Even if Odin knew that Tijuana had occupied Taung City immediately, it would still take several months to send troops there.

After waiting at the place, Tijuana grabbed the things and ran away. What's the use? The problem still exists.

Therefore, the various troubles caused by the oversized national territory are the primary issues that need to be resolved at the moment, and are also important issues mentioned in the draft of the third round of eight-year development plan.

If this problem is not resolved, the implementation and advancement of other policies will be painfully delayed, which is not conducive to overall development.

The draft of the "March 8th Plan" clearly mentioned that we should try our best to find a correct solution to the long-distance dilemma, not only for the present, but also for the future.

In response to this issue, Lord Odin brainstormed. In addition to the Prince Zong's Palace, many high-end organizations such as the Project Research Department of the Holy Spirit Tower, the Truth Society, and the Magic Energy Development and Application Institute also joined the issue, striving to come up with a complete and reliable solution.

Come.

…

"Freya, has there been any recent progress on the issue of long-distance dilemmas?"

At the dining table, everyone was having dinner. Master Odin was eating grilled steak while asking Freya, who had just returned from the Society of Truth.

Although he spends a lot of time on cultivation, he still pays attention to important events. Freya is the president of the Truth Society and also holds important positions in other organizations.

To say who among his wives is the busiest, it must be Freya.

But she enjoyed it herself, and Odin tried to persuade her many times to no avail, so she finally had to let it go.

Gudong~gudong~ha~

Regardless of her appearance, Freya drank a few mouthfuls of the delicious fish soup in the bowl, stuffed a large pan-fried bun with it, swallowed it forcefully and said.

"During the last group meeting, everyone found inspiration from the goblin airships that appeared in ancient times. They gave up conventional land transportation and instead focused on air transportation."

"Hmm...but isn't the rumored goblin airship a very slow means of transportation?"

The women nearby who were listening with their ears pricked up couldn't help but wonder.

"Haha, the goblin airship relies on the principle of a hot air balloon to fly into the air. The speed is indeed very slow, but there is nothing wrong with this idea. Let's continue."
Chapter completed!
