Linton's acceptance of this task was indeed beyond everyone's expectations and strange in every sense of the word. First of all, is it a bit too unprofessional for a saint-level person to suddenly engage in urban construction? Although most people have never seen Linton.
He worked hard to cultivate and other things, but at least he didn't care about other nosy things. Yes, things like building a city are indeed nosy things for the holy level.
What's more important is that in the eyes of everyone, Linton is not that concerned about national affairs. Indeed, the establishment of a new city is also an important matter for the empire, but before, even when someone rebelled, treason or went to war with other countries
, Linton never came out to take care of things. Compared with those things, Linton took the initiative to take over such a "small matter" as building a city. Isn't this strange?
Of course, the main reason why Linton took over this task was because he received the task. And this task is not simple. It can be said to be the most troublesome construction task that Linton has received so far.
The goal of the mission is to build the main city. The most troublesome construction mission Linton has done before was only to build a medium-sized city. However, the mission requirements for building a main city received this time are completely different from the previous construction of a medium-sized city.
Incomparable.
There are a lot of building requirements in the mission requirements, and there are even regional planning requirements. It is not only required to have what buildings, but also what plans must be there, such as the magistrate district, the knight district, etc. Each plan also has
Various subdivided buildings.
Originally, Linton would definitely not accept such a troublesome construction task. Because of such stringent requirements, it is estimated that the existing urban transformation will not be enough. Even if it is forced to change, the final score of the task should not be too high.
If it is high, then what you get is probably not proportional to what you pay.
However, at this time, he got the news from Yalan that the empire was planning to build a new city in Midrand, and he immediately had an idea. Since the existing city cannot be improved, then directly rebuild a city
What? Isn’t this just right?
What made him even more determined was what Yalan discussed with him later. Why did Yalan ask Linton to discuss the new city? The reason was that Yalan meant to let the Meloway family be responsible for the construction of the city.
There are two reasons. One is the matter of the previous city lord. The previous city lord dragged the whole city's people to heaven in a real sense. If you want to rebuild now, the people will definitely have to transfer from other cities, but
Lessons learned from the past, who dares to go there now? You can never build a new city without anyone living in it. The breakthrough point comes to the Meloway family. No matter how many people from other families you say, they will still worry about you rebelling and starting another rebellion.
Feitian City and the like, but the Melowei family, you can't rebel against yourself.
Yes, for most people, the Meloway family is considered the "royal family" now, but they don't bear the name of the royal family. Even if the Queen is about to give birth, the child will be the blood of Meloway, so Meloway
The family came to build this city, and no one had any objections.
The second reason is of course also very important, and that is the issue of money. Yes, building a city is not a trivial matter. In addition to manpower, money is of course also the top priority. Although the empire is rich, it suddenly
Even in a big city, it would be very difficult to bear the burden alone. So who has the money? Of course the Meloway family is one of them, and the Meloway family is already rich now.
In short, the result of the discussion is that the Merlowe family will provide people, money and efforts, and the empire will also support it and build a new city in the south. And this city will be directly owned by the Merlowe family as the fiefdom of the Merlowe family. From now on,
The south gate of the imperial city was watched by the Melowei family, and everyone felt relieved.
Then this matter had already fallen on the Meloway family. Linton looked at the task list he had drawn up here. It seemed very logical. So he thought about it and took the task directly.
It means that he will build this city as the general overseer.
This surprised Yalan. Yalan was just saying hello to Linton. In her opinion, Linton was too lazy to care about such things. But she didn't expect that Linton really wanted to build a city?
"I thought about it carefully, just in case." Linton said, "What if they are twins or something, and the eldest brother becomes emperor, and the second brother can be made a city lord, and this city is just south of the imperial capital.
Lu is not afraid that he will cause any trouble, thus eliminating the possibility of the two brothers quarreling."
"Uh..." Yalan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Linton to think so far, "This... I have already asked, they are not twins..."
"Uh... I took so much trouble to make up this paragraph, so can't you save some face for me?" Linton said, "Forget it, I'm just too busy, okay."
"Oh, then it would be better if you said so earlier, and you don't have to worry about me." Yalan said.
"It's not like I'm free to build the city casually, so you don't have to worry about it, right?" Linton held up his forehead.
"Then...what's there to worry about?" Yalan asked.
"..." Linton probably understood. Although no one in the ministers objected to Linton's construction of a city, no one believed that he could build a normal city.
Linton said that he had to speak up. Although he did not understand anything, he had auxiliary tools. After seeing Asuna's arrangement to expand the underground laboratory last time, Linton
It means you understand this, right? Then someone will help you plan your construction tasks.
So Linton also directly found Asuna. At this time, Asuna was continuing to expand the underground laboratory. Of course, Linton had already completed the basics, and the rest could be said to be the hard part.
The simpler aspect of working with Asuna is that her and System Ji's logical routes are very close. Linton only needs to tell her all the mission requirements, and Asuna will directly come up with the best solution based on the needs of these missions.
A suitable drawing. But when this drawing was sent to Linton...
"Why does this city always feel so familiar?" Linton couldn't help but ask.
“Because we want to get a high rating, I think the rationality and background of the city are quite important, not just the practical planning. Otherwise, even if all areas meet the requirements, judging from the previous situation, the rating will not be very good.
"High." Asuna said, "In short, I made reference to the main cities in some online games and made some modifications according to the actual requirements of the mission. This version is based on Stormwind City as a prototype. If you are not satisfied,
It’s no problem to change it to something else like Norton Marr, Zaun, etc. The map will be out within half an hour.”
"I..." Linton said that it was no wonder he always felt familiar, "No, you are just taking it easy, forget about the others, are you copying the design drawing a bit too much, this way?
What's going on with the river in the city? Have you looked at the topographic map over there? There's no river there at all, okay?"
The location of the new city is roughly next to the original site of Midrand City. The location is mainly in a hilly area. Of course, there is no river. Therefore, the design plan given by Asuna inexplicably has a river running through the city, which makes Linton feel that this
It's really too perfunctory.
"That's not a river, it's just a passage." Asuna said, "You know the Panama Canal, it's something similar. In order to highlight the importance of the new city, I think this passage is very necessary. Look at the location of the city.
, it is not far from the left and right to the sea, so you only need to tear the entire continent into two halves from here, and then build a city on it. In this way, this city will become the most important whether it is by land or sea.
main traffic."
Linton was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the topographic map. Yes, the original location of Midrand City was in a narrow strip of the mainland. The left and right belonged to two sea areas. Of course, the two seas were not connected.
.Because although it is said to be a long and narrow strip, the distance between them is not more than ten or dozens of kilometers, but hundreds of kilometers.
You must know that Midrand City was not a port city at all before. It was not close to the sea. Regardless of whether you count it to the west or east, this city is hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline, and no one can imagine this distance.
I never thought of digging a canal. Although the distance from the West China Sea to the East China Sea is indeed shortened a lot, who can dig a canal of hundreds of kilometers?
However, Linton thought that Asuna was on the first level and was just taking a look at it to deal with him. Unexpectedly, the opponent was actually in the atmosphere and wanted to build a canal to separate the entire continent. After the separation, the north and south shores
To connect, we need to build a bridge. This bridge is naturally built near the new city. Whether you want to go from the south bank to the north bank or the north bank to the south bank, you must pass through the new city. And there is a port area in the new city plan, which serves as a link between the East and West seas.
There are naturally many passages and ships coming and going in the new city as you can imagine.
In short, the new city has indeed become a real traffic artery connecting north, south, east and west. Can it still be developed? It's just that... the movement is too big. It's not that Linton wants to deal with it casually, but you are
Is he overdoing it again? It reminds me of the long list of duels Asuna gave him before.
"Just building a city will cut off the entire continent..." Linton touched his chin, "Isn't it a bit too much?"
"I am analyzing the evaluation of the task here. No matter how I look at it, I feel that the better and more reasonable the development of the city, the higher the score should be. Generally speaking, city construction starts with the planning of the terrain, but it is not very easy to change the terrain here.
It’s casual, I don’t think there’s any problem.” Asuna said.
So that night, a strong earthquake occurred in the mainland, and the entire southern part of the continent was cut into two parts. The next day, the design drawings of the new city were also sent to the desks of the imperial ministers. The unexpectedly exquisite design of the drawings surprised everyone, but this time
At that time, no one paid attention to that, but they all looked at Linton with strange eyes.
