"Um, Lord Sword Master, can I ask you a question?" Mikov, the 75-year-old deputy prime minister here who has not yet retired, couldn't help but said, "So... how did you come up with the idea of building a new city here?"
From the bridge?”
"Ah? Oh, isn't this beautiful? Look at the bridge at the city gate, leading all the way to the main city gate. It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Linton said while holding Asuna's concept drawing.
"But as of this morning, there seems to be no water there..." Mikov said.
"Who stipulated that water must be available to build a bridge? The mountain roads there are rugged and difficult to walk. Is there anything wrong with me designing a mountain bridge for everyone?" Linton said.
"Then...you should tell me what's going on in the port area in this design..." Mikov couldn't help but said after listening to Linton's nonsense.
"Uh... well... this is just in case. When I got the drawings, I went to the local area to learn about the local situation. I heard from the local people that earthquakes often happen there. I thought it would be just in case.
One day there was a big earthquake here, and a canal suddenly opened up. It is better to be prepared than not to be prepared at all, so I designed a port area first. You see, as soon as I drew the map here, there was an earthquake there.
, a canal appeared directly, isn’t it a coincidence?” Linton said.
Everyone looked at Linton a little speechless. Even if they were talking nonsense, they had never heard people say such nonsense. It was just a small mountain town, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest river bank. You told me that in order to prevent an earthquake from shaking out a river, it was
Set up a port area? Now people here have determined that the earthquake last night was definitely related to Linton.
"In short, this is the current design drawing. Have you seen my talent for planning ahead?" Linton said, "Does anyone else have any opinions? If not, I will build it according to this design."
"That... Master Sword Master." Another minister came out next to him and said.
"Do you have any more questions?" Linton said impatiently. In fact, he was too lazy to make it up.
"I would like to ask Mr. Sword Master if the Meloway family has encountered any problems in raising funds. After all, the city designed by Mr. Sword Master is indeed extremely gorgeous, but if it is built like this, it will probably exceed the original plan.
Budget. Our Kraft family is willing to provide part of the construction funds." The minister suddenly said.
"Oh?" Linton looked at the minister whose name he couldn't name and was stunned for a moment. Is this guy planning to give him money? When he thought about it, he understood. The geographical location of the new city is really too
Well, although this city was a key city in the south of the imperial city before, it was not as important as it is now. Now... this city is a transportation artery linking east, west, north and south, so I want to participate in investment.
"Master Sword Master, our Serug family is also willing to provide construction funds." After this person's reminder, other ministers next to him also wanted to join. It is indeed conceivable what kind of benefits this city will get once it is completed.
, this investment cannot be lost no matter what.
Of course, the position of the city lord must be beyond their ability to spy on. They said that this city was granted to the Meloway family, so they did not dare to compete with Linton. However, they spent money to fund the construction of the city. Later, when the city's commercial district was planned,
They have divided them into several stores with good locations. This is not too much. They have divided them into a dock and a warehouse in the port area. This is not excessive. Do you think this investment will be a loss?
"Oh, that's it... ok, I'll do some statistics here later. If there are really any funding problems, I'll have someone contact you." Linton didn't finish what he said, because he really didn't know that Jian was like this.
How much money is needed for a city? Now this city is just a blueprint, and there is no project budget at all. When building things in the main world, there is never a habit of making a budget first. Anyway, they are all estimated while building.
In short, after the review by the Chaohui is passed, the construction will start directly. Generally speaking, such a big city cannot be built in a few years, but Linton does not want to complete the construction of the entire city in one go.
, but to complete the main planning and main buildings first, and other things, such as residential areas in the city, can be built later after people come.
Of course, even these main buildings cannot be built in a short time. It is really not a joke to say that it will take a few years. But as for Linton, everyone is required to complete it within half a year. On the one hand, Linton has the final say.
Time, now Yalan is five months old, and there are still five months left for the baby to be born. In another month of full moon, the city has just been built. Do you think this is a full moon ceremony? On the other hand, the more important reason is that after all, this is a
The task, and the task time was only given for half a year, 180 cycles, so Linton couldn't delay it even if he wanted to.
Can a city that originally took several years to be built be shortened to half a year? In fact, it can be done. After all... this is a world where the profession of magician exists. Of course, hiring a magician is not an easy task.
Even though the empire approved the construction of the city, civil engineering was a bit too expensive for magicians. In theory, these arrogant magicians did not want to participate in such a project.
But this matter is not a big deal to Linton. In fact, he didn't take the initiative to look for it. Instead, a magician had already found him. The reason for finding him was... Linton was in the main city.
A mage area has been planned.
Yes, the new city here in Linton is completely designed with reference to the main city of the online game, and the mage, a popular profession in online games, has a dedicated city area. To be honest, this is still very novel in the main world. In the main world, in addition to
Except for several cities originally founded by mages, it is rare for other cities to have a city area specifically designated for mages.
The emergence of such a city is a signal to all mages. Obviously, even fools know that this new city will be on the fast track of development in the future. The traffic location alone is enough to satisfy the needs of all mages.
So it’s not like whoever takes over will be the best.
So soon, a group of mages came to the door, helping to build the city and other small things. After the city was built, they were also willing to be responsible for the city's magic defense. Of course, the price was that they had to settle in the mage area.
of.
In addition to this group of mages, people from the Holy See of Light are also here. Doesn’t this city also have a Holy See area? Of course they can also come and take part.
In short, the construction of the new city has not started yet, and the distribution of benefits in various aspects has already begun. Of course, it did save Linton a lot of trouble, thanks to Asuna's "guidance", otherwise these people would not take the initiative
Linton is not as proactive as he is now in sending people to look for him. If something really bothers him, Linton is not afraid of causing trouble, but is worried about affecting the progress of the project.
Of course, Linton handed over the construction work to two people. One is Uncle Eke, who is responsible for coordinating the entire project, and is also the housekeeper of the Mellowe family. Uncle Eke also said before that he is one of his own. Although there is no difference.
I have some skills, but I still have a lot of experience in dealing with people.
Of course, the other chief engineer can only go to Asuna. Only she knows what the requirements of the city she wants to build are, and she will not make any mistakes. Besides, Linton has seen her design and planning ability before.
With her in charge of the construction, Linton felt more at ease. Otherwise, if someone else built something that didn't meet Linton's requirements, he would be looking for trouble.
Of course, Asuna is a robot that can only do work, and other things are really not suitable. For example, communication with the mages and the Holy See, these are all handled by Ekko, and the two complement each other. With this combination, Linton decided
There shouldn't be any problems.
Of course, Asuna said that this project will last for half a year. Do you want to continue the other tasks assigned by you? Of course, Linton understood what she meant, so the T-X model No. 3 unit was launched again.
appeared and was directly responsible for the city's construction projects.
I have to say that this intelligent robot is really convenient to use. Linton now understands why the humans in the Terminator would kill themselves. Some people may have discovered the danger of these robots in advance, but it is really
It feels so good to use it that I can’t stop using it. For example, if a big thing like building a city were left to other humans now, Linton would probably spend a long time communicating with him. All aspects of the matter would be explained to him, and he would have to explain it clearly.
.But even if you speak clearly, there may still be problems.
But as for the robot, as soon as all the information is input, it can directly help you design the best plan and ensure that you complete the task. So far, there have been no problems except overdoing it. Who wouldn't want this?
A tool man.
Linton's investment in Asuna is quite large. The two clones are worth 8 million points. Including other materials and the like, the amount is tens of millions, but I always feel that it is very worthwhile. It is really
It helped a lot. This is better than the few cats and dogs that he raised at home that eat and drink for free... Speaking of them, Linton suddenly pulled several pets over to do cool labor.
Of course these cats and dogs are not willing to hear about this kind of thing. Of course they will not refuse if they are asked to build a city, but building a city is too troublesome. Isn't it good to just eat and drink at home? But after all, they are forced to
It seems that Linton has no choice but to defeat Linton's power. There is really nothing he can do to defeat him.
In short, the construction site soon became lively, and the basic foundation planning work had already begun. Linton also said before that after supervising the construction site for a month, the progress was quite gratifying. Of course, at this time
He also had to start working, mainly because... he didn't have enough points.
