Chapter 1,311: Devalued Carter, Population Explosion
After Grand Duke Jonathan was selected by the lord system.
Zong Shen's plan to use Prince Carter to blackmail him changed.
And based on the reactions of the lords who received system invitations, they also received brand-new prompts later.
Points income has been increased by 2 times, and additional permissions have been supplemented.
15% of the soldiers lost every day will enter the state of cooldown and resurrection.
Wait 24 hours to resurrect, but the same soldier can only be resurrected once at most.
In addition, the items that can be redeemed in the points mall have become more abundant.
It even includes fifth-level and sixth-level recruitment coupons, but the number of exchanges is limited per day.
In this way, the benefits of staying in the giant city of Lentax to participate in the battle will be greatly increased.
But the risks of combat will also increase exponentially.
Because Archduke Jonathan can also benefit from fighting.
The items he can redeem are different from those of the lords.
The exchange mall dedicated to Grand Duke Jonathan will include items such as lifespan, strength, soldier enhancement, etc., as well as many exchange items with more intuitive effects.
For example, batch recruitment.
Moreover, these buffs and exchange items are effective for all territories under his command.
So not only did Archduke Jonathan no longer avoid Lentax's war, but he became excited again.
As long as he makes good use of this opportunity, he can quickly expand his power.
Soldiers will also become more powerful.
Thus gaining a far superior advantage over other archdukes.
This gave him new hope.
What's more, he can even redeem his lifespan, so why should he put his hope in Carter, a useless guy.
Except for being qualified to win the king, Carter is simply useless.
When it comes to illegitimate children, he has quite a few.
After gaining authority beyond his native status, Grand Duke Jonathan's ambitions naturally expanded.
He no longer cares about moral rules, he just needs to use this authority to continuously increase his power.
When his power alone is enough to crush all the archdukes, he becomes the uncrowned king of Avalon.
What's more, Jonathan's last name is also Pendragon.
He has pure royal blood.
This example is not impossible to break.
It can be seen that the lord system has the intention of supporting the fire.
Balance and compensation mechanisms are given on the left and right.
After Archduke Jonathan obtains special privileges, his offensive intensity and motivation will become even stronger.
With such a premise, the lords participating in this competition and campaign deserve better rewards.
The reward level and risk must be linked to each other to provide sufficient motivation for both parties to attack and defend.
It's just that this matter is not good news for Zong.
Apart from the fact that Prince Carter's value as a hostage was reduced, it was also because Lentax was too close to his territory.
As this storm intensifies, it is likely to lead to changes in the situation near the territory.
Thus affecting the normal construction and development of the territory.
Therefore, after careful consideration.
He could only overturn his previous plan.
The previous Archduke Jonathan had not yet broken away from his Aboriginal identity, so he could easily be kept in the dark.
At that time, Zong Shen decided to let the Calamity Raven Church take the blame in order not to get burned.
But God's calculations are not as good as those of man.
The willfulness of the lord system was beyond his ability to fathom.
Archduke Jonathan jumped out of the "siege" in a sudden change, and it is meaningless to cover him up now.
Because he already knows the existence of the lord.
Simply hand over Prince Carter in advance and get whatever benefits you can get in exchange.
Anyway, you won’t refuse anyone who comes.
He estimated that even if Carter couldn't exchange for the giant city, it would still be no problem to exchange for a few sixth-order space mages.
Moreover, Zong Shen is also planning to interview Archduke Jonathan this time.
Maybe we can reach consensus on other aspects.
But this matter requires the cooperation of Mai Raven.
After several consecutive [Fantasy God Flashes], Zong Shen came to the vicinity of the large space teleportation channel.
Several days of population transfers gave the territory a wealth of relevant processing experience.
Various magic energy vehicles take turns waiting here.
The people who were teleported were first lined up in an empty field in groups of a thousand people.
Every ten thousand-man teams are transferred together. At the same time, the new thousand-man teams are assembled simultaneously.
The territory's transshipment capacity is limited. According to the current frequency, it can transship more than 100,000 people per hour.
Operating in three shifts 24 hours a day, it can transport two to three million people every day.
It is estimated that in two days, the entire population will be transferred.
In fact, these transferred populations did cause a considerable burden in the early stages.
But as resettlement continues and construction work intensifies, population absorption becomes smoother and smoother.
After absorbing this population, the total population of the territory will exceed 23 million.
And the current territory size has reached the giant city level.
Of course, due to the efficient architectural layout and planning, there are fewer buildings with larger areas than in the giant city of Lentax, as well as the manors of nobles and wealthy merchants.
So it looks very compact in terms of overall area.
But taken together, no matter which angle you analyze it from, the current territory can be called a giant city.
The standard for a giant city is not just judged by the area of the city.
After all, different urban planning can accommodate very different populations.
Not to mention anything else, it is just the estates of the wealthy merchants and nobles in the huge city of Lentax.
If it is freed up to build multi-story residential buildings, it can accommodate at least tens of millions of additional people.
Not to mention the Marquis Fortress of the Lancaster family, which even occupies the entire core area of the giant city.
If that core area is really utilized, it won't be a problem to accommodate an additional two to three million people.
Therefore, looking only at urban area without looking at population density is undoubtedly a rather one-sided behavior.
In the next period of time, as long as Zong Shen gradually digests the 20 million people under Penny Lancaster's name, the total population of the territory will reach more than 40 million.
Comparable to Lentax before the war.
In addition, there is also a very important demographic situation that must be emphasized.
That is the addition of refugees and floating populations.
As the size of the territory continues to increase, it is becoming more and more attractive to refugees.
At first it was a few people every day, then it was dozens or hundreds of people.
Now, on average, thousands of refugees voluntarily join the territory every day.
Yes, that's thousands.
As the influence of the territory continues to expand, a large number of refugees come here every day.
At present, the furthest one is from a village more than 1,400 kilometers away.
There were hundreds of them, with horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.
It turned out to be a farmer in the village who was displaced due to banditry.
It took us several decades of trekking to get here.
In fact, considering the size of the current territory, the average daily income of thousands of refugees is not that much.
In total, there are hundreds of thousands of people a month.
But in the eyes of the lords in the nearby area, this was already very terrifying.
In order to ensure the smooth reception of refugees.
The territory has established transfer stations in the surrounding areas.
Used to help refugees reach the territory.
At the same time, as early as more than ten days ago, the clean-up team established in the territory was officially launched.
All gangsters within a thousand kilometers radius were completely eliminated.
Regular patrols are also carried out in the directions where refugees often come to ensure that the population is received as efficiently as possible.
These measures have been implemented thoroughly in the territory.
The strong adaptability allows the territory to well complete the reception of various types of population.
Zong Shen had understood before that the importance of population to the development of the territory.
After successfully reaching the giant city level, the next step is to promote the population to move towards the billion level.
Further challenges the population carrying limit of a single territory.
Zong Shen estimated that the population of the territory would be fully saturated before the beginning of the era change.
But speaking of it, people don’t actually occupy positions.
As long as the territory expands to hundreds of kilometers in radius, and if planned properly, it will be no problem to carry one to two billion people, and it may even be relatively easy.
But the scale of this city can simply be described as terrifying.
You must know that most of the provinces of China on Earth are within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
It's quite exaggerated to think that such a large area constitutes a city.
But people really don’t occupy space.
On the pre-arrival Earth, if 7.2 billion people were piled together like stacks of Arhats, they would only be able to form a small pile 788 meters high.
And what is the concept of 788 meters?
At that time, the height of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, was 828 meters.
It is not people who take up space, but the space needed for human life.
Moreover, there are some foreign races in the territory, and these need to be arranged separately.
If you study it carefully, there is a lot of knowledge in it.
But Zong Shen believes that Mariel, Howie, and the many heroes in the territory today can handle these problems.
While thinking about the population issue, he came to the bottom of the transmission channel.
Most of the huge transmission channels serve to receive materials and people.
Only in the edge corners, a small area is left for reverse travel to Jackdaw Valley.
As a lord with privileges, he came directly to that area and responded to the light beam floating up.
Came to Jackdaw Valley again, it was still cold here.
It's just that because of the large-scale migration of people, it has become less crowded and noisy.
The Jackdaw Valley can fully accommodate the remaining four to five million people.
Zong Shen did not find Mai Raven right away.
By asking the church elders, I learned that Mai had gone to a nearby city that belonged to the church to collect religious taxes.
After suffering several blows in succession, coupled with Zong Shen's exploitation, Jackdaw Valley became extremely poor.
That state city has a very poetic name, called the Land of Snowflakes.
It is almost more than a thousand kilometers away from Jackdaw Valley.
The distance was not too far, so Zong Shen simply rode [Hell Dark Nightmare·Hamis] and went there in person.
…
About an hour or so.
Khamis, who turned into a shuttle shadow, suddenly stopped moving at high speed.
The fully armored Zong riding on the huge Khamis looks like a child riding a merry-go-round.
"Master, we are here."
Khamis is suspended in the sky, and hazy clouds obscure the view below.
Those clouds are pouring snow down below
Occasionally, through gaps in the clouds, you can see the city below.
The coverage of these snow clouds is quite large.
It’s no wonder that the city below is called the “Land of Snowflakes”.
