Chapter 307 Extraordinary Plants(5600 words)(1/2)
Although there are still many things waiting for Li De to deal with in Dawn City, especially the extraordinary plant that cost millions of Gold Puke to cultivate, he is very curious.
But he still stayed in Green City for three days before leaving.
The Scarlet Mage Tower and the Dark Pact have accumulated a lot of things that require his decision-making in the past few months.
Especially now that the productivity of Dawn City has increased significantly, it has brought considerable changes to the two forces.
Weapons and equipment have now become the main products of the Dark Pact, and with the cheap and high-quality equipment produced by the weapons factory, they have begun to capture the huge weapons market in Green City.
Li De identified two main lines of development for the two overt and dark forces.
The Scarlet Mage Tower mainly focuses on magic scrolls. In the future, it will specialize in the production of high-level magic scrolls. The low-level magic scrolls will be produced by the City of Dawn and then transported to the Scarlet Mage Tower.
High-level weapons and equipment and other high-profit items serve as supplements.
The Dark Pact focuses on selling weapons, and is trying its best to conquer the weapons market in Green City. The supplement is magic scrolls and peerless wines such as Erguotou. The profit from wine is not necessarily much worse than weapons and equipment, but the city of Dawn is currently still
There is no large-scale production.
The market for weapons, equipment and magic scrolls is definitely the most profitable in Glory.
As long as you can capture a certain share of one of the markets, you can earn a lot of money.
This is the case with the Crimson Mage Tower.
Now the City of Dawn has strong productivity, and both markets can participate in it.
So Li De made this two-flowering plan without any scruples.
Whether it is a magic factory or a weapons factory, they are essentially the sparks produced by the collision of modern production methods and the magical world.
The magic factory in the Scarlet Mage Tower has been developed for so long under the leadership of Wei Na, and it is no longer the magic factory established by Li De.
Now the Magic Factory has its own R&D department, which is responsible for developing and improving the production of magic scrolls, and has begun to try to develop new magic scrolls.
The production process has been updated at least five times compared to the original process. The current magic factory has truly become a glorious magic factory, and is no longer a blunt item copied from the earth.
This is Li De's greatest confidence, because he has mastered productivity that the world cannot match.
And more importantly, with the development of Dawn City, although he is making more and more money now, there is still a gap.
City construction, military maintenance, training of mages, scientific research expenditures, education expenditures, daily city maintenance and city hall employment expenditures, etc., etc... There is no place where money is not needed.
Therefore, economic resources have always been Li De's key focus.
After setting goals and directions for future development for both forces, on November 6, Li De returned to the City of Dawn on Castro, who had returned to Green City from the Death Cemetery before him.
Grote and Stanley stayed in Green City.
The Shadow of Dawn plan has been dormant for several months, and Li De can only rest assured that Stanley is in control of this plan that can affect the future of the City of Dawn.
Another very important point is that Green City is the central city of the Southern Province and the gathering place of all major forces.
If the intelligence command center wants to develop, it must establish a complete intelligence network here. In the early stages of the construction of the intelligence network, the situation will be much better if Stanley is in charge.
Castro possesses the blood of the Bronze Cyclops and the blood of the ancestor of the blood race, and is not afraid of the sun, so Li De chose to set out in the morning.
Under the supersonic flight of this newborn king, he flew back to the City of Dawn in less than two suns.
"Good day, patriarch."
Harrison, who looked somewhat neutral, saw Castro landing in the back garden and immediately came down from his office on the second floor to greet him.
"Good day, Harrison." Li De smiled at his right-hand man. Castro, who had a wingspan of 16 blades behind him and was wearing extraordinary armor, suddenly transformed into a mini bat the size of a palm and fanned.
The wings flew to Li De's shoulders.
Li De said hello to Harrison and walked straight to the office.
He has not returned to this city that belongs to him for three months.
In the office on the third floor, Li De sat on the soft sofa and closed his eyes comfortably.
“Is the first phase of the new city’s construction now complete?”
"Clan leader, it is not expected to be completed until the middle of this month." Harrison stood beside Li De and responded respectfully.
"The middle of this month? The new city should be completed at the beginning of the month. Why the delay?"
Harrison's expression froze slightly when he heard this, and he whispered, "You asked the Construction Department to expand the artificial lake three times...so many buildings have to be replanned."
Li De opened his eyes slightly, as if he had really said this. At that time, he even mentioned that he could raise a few mermaids here if he dug wider.
"It's okay, just be later, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation."
After chatting haha, he immediately changed the topic, "How is the current population plunder plan going?"
This is already the third population plunder carried out by Dawn City.
The first time Li De plundered the population was when he came to Rongguang and formally implemented the sustainable development strategy and determined the future direction.
The second time was last year, a year when the City of Dawn experienced rapid development. The population of City of Dawn also exceeded the 50,000 mark in the Winter Moon last year.
This year's Winter Moon is the third.
How it develops next year depends largely on whether it can plunder more people this year.
In modern times, technology is the primary productive force, but in glory, population is the primary productive force, and this is absolutely true.
The City of Dawn is currently lacking in population, and it is very lacking.
You must know that Moonlight Plain is not fully developed yet, and there is a vast land hundreds of kilometers long behind Moonlight Plain.
Now it is still a virgin land covered with wild grass and trees, waiting for outsiders to cultivate it.
Therefore, Li De does not lack land, but only lacks the population to cultivate the land.
And another thing that makes Li De feel urgent is that at this time next year, players will arrive.
His next attempt to plunder a population may not go so smoothly.
Because no one can be sure what will happen after the game's open beta.
After all, the internal beta test only has 100,000 players, and the number of people online at the same time may only be 30,000 to 50,000. However, if it is a public beta, this epoch-making "game" may have tens of millions of people flooding in at once.
This exaggerated amount of sudden intrusion is enough to change many inherent patterns.
Although players will be at the bottom of Glory for a short period of time, they will have to endure countless beatings before they can grow up.
But with their immortality, even if they grow slowly, they will eventually become stronger.
This is destined to be a big change. If City of Dawn wants to take the lead in this big change, it must develop even stronger.
Now Li De's body in reality almost does not need to eat, and relying on sucking blood in Rongguang is enough to survive.
And now he can feel the increasingly powerful power in his body. If the earth had magic, he would have been able to rub fireballs with his hands.
This game is enough to change the entire human world, and the secret hidden behind the glory can shock the world.
In order to face the unknown impact, he could only work harder to strengthen himself.
Before reaching the extraordinary, it is far from possible to sit back and relax.
"Chief, the orcs are stationed on the border and have not taken any action. Although they occupy most of the land on the border, chaos broke out last year, but this year it is exceptionally stable."
Harrison shook his head and explained, "In order to plunder the population, we set our target to the north of Green City.
The north has been invaded by the undead, and many areas are still unable to grow food, so there are still a large number of refugees stranded here.
Even though Green City’s support prevents them from starving to death, no one cares too much about this group of refugees.”
Li De nodded slightly. Stanley had told him about this before, but not in detail.
"Has looting started yet?"
"Because this operation will involve Green City, it is still in the preparation stage.
According to current intelligence, there are many informants from the nobles and the city lord's army among this group of refugees.
So we've made different plans than we have in the past."
Speaking of this, Harrison's eyes showed a bit of excitement, "After this plunder of the population begins, we will plunder all the 50,000 people in the new city within three days."
"Plunder 50,000 people in three days??"
Li De's eyes were a little surprised.
This is no small amount.
Moreover, plundering 50,000 people is different from killing 50,000 people. Killing is easy, just kill them and leave.
But to plunder the population, you need to pacify, suppress, and then transport them back. When they are transported back, they need to be provided with logistics such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
It's easy to say, but it's absolutely difficult.
Especially in terms of logistics support, Dawn City currently only has a population of 50,000, and it is about to double its population. The pressure on logistics is enough to collapse the logistics department.
Providing daily necessities to 50,000 people is not the same as providing it to 100,000 people. The difficulty is at least three to five times higher.
The more people there are, the greater the logistical pressure, which is why the big cities in the cold weapon era were not too large.
Can't afford it.
The same is true for City of Dawn, there is a threshold, and if you exceed this threshold, you will face huge pressure.
Although the previous plunders also plundered a large number of people, they were based on a small base and lasted for as long as three or four months. There was a buffer period after each plunder.
This time, 50,000 yuan was obtained in three days. Even Li De was a little surprised by Harrison's generosity.
"Are you sure the logistics and security can keep up?"
Harrison looked a little proud when he heard this, "Chief, we have been preparing for this plan for two months, and there will definitely be no problems."
To be continued...
