The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

"Not bad. According to the agreement, starting from today, Wang Kai will train with you for an hour every day."

Chapter 9 and Four, New Year's Big Project

Skimming all kinds of small episodes, the busy work is enough to make people's time pass quickly.

Unknowingly, the annual "harvest day" has quietly approached.

In Mingjing City, the festive atmosphere had already permeated, which made Luo Ji feel inexplicably emotional.

After all, he has been away for two years, and it has been a long time since the last festival.

At the same time, on the other side, beyond the western border of the Myriad Realms civilization, Guo Zhen and Du Yuanzhi's troops returned to the Myriad Realms civilization a few days before the harvest day.

When the Western Expedition came to an end, because a large number of orcs scattered and fled on the grassland, Luo Ji asked Guo Zhen and Du Yuanzhi to lead the soldiers to stay on the tropical grassland for the time being to clean up.

Now it seems that this cleaning job is obviously not easy.

The savannah was too big, and the fleeing orcs were too scattered.

It took them a lot of time, tossing and tossing until now, and it finally came to an end.

For this, Luo Ji naturally would not be stingy with his praise.

At the same time, with a big wave of his hand, he directly gave a generous reward.

Today, all directions of the Myriad Worlds civilization can be considered to be almost pacified by him.

The skill of 'Territory Adjustment' previously activated also allowed him to greatly expand the scope of a wave of territory.

In a short period of time, except for the threat of orcs that may appear in the bitter cold land in the north, the other directions should be peaceful for a while.

During this period, the most urgent thing for him is to quickly develop and recruit troops!

Leaving aside the reserve soldiers who had simply served in the military, recruiting the 'regular army' had always been a headache for Luo Ji.

There is no way, the wars in the past few years were too ruthless.

In a short period of time, it is really difficult to increase the number of troops in the regular army again.

Although I still have some troops in my hand, I have to keep them to protect myself, and I can't just go out and wander.

However, it is not impossible to think about it.

Among the 10,000+ prairie people who have been accepted before, the group that performed particularly well thinks that in a month or two, they will be able to finish their hard labor and get rid of their status as coolies.

After that, if they are willing to continue working on construction sites and mines, then of course there is nothing to say.

But if you want to change jobs, you basically have to find them yourself.

But now, Luo Ji can give them a way to go, and that is to join the army.

The treatment of joining the army in Wanjie Civilization has always been good, and there must be someone who is willing.

He planned to select some young and strong people from the group of prairie people to join the army.

It can not only solve the follow-up resettlement problem of some prairie people, but also supplement the military strength of the Myriad Realms civilization to a certain extent, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Time continued to flow, after the harvest day was passed safely.

Within this year, Luo Ji undoubtedly had another big project to implement.

Looking at the barrel of pungent objects that were black and sticky, and exuded an unpleasant smell.

Luo Ji squeezed his nose and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, this is it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ze (the chief engineer of the goblin tribe), the new director of the engineering department, was relieved, but also a little strange in his heart.

I don't understand what His Majesty is doing to get this smelly thing out.

And just as he was thinking so, a guard ran over quickly from outside.

"Your Majesty, Lord Goblin King Gawain has arrived."

"Let him come in quickly."

As soon as he entered, the unpleasant smell got into his nose.

However, Gao Wen didn't make too much fuss. After rubbing his nose, he stepped forward to salute respectfully...

"My humble minister, Gao Wen, see Your Majesty."

In response, Luo Ji waved at Gao Wen without raising his head.

"Okay, come here and look at this."

Hearing this, Gao Wen didn't think too much, and quickly stepped forward two steps to look inside the vat.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that the unpleasant smell came from this barrel.

At the same time, the smell was still a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.

"Your Majesty, what is this black barrel?"

Gao Wen vaguely felt that this should be a building material similar to cement.

However, although he is a modern person, he studied liberal arts after all, and he has not studied architecture seriously. If he is asked to say something all of a sudden, he really can't say it.

Luo Ji was obviously not surprised by this, and only heard his rather blunt expression...

"This is the asphalt that I just asked the people in the engineering department to adjust according to the formula."

"asphalt……"

Hearing this word, Gao Wen was stunned for two seconds, and then quickly realized it.

"Your Majesty wants to build roads?"

While talking, Gao Wen couldn't help rubbing his nose again, it turned out to be this smell.

That's right, the big project that Luo Ji plans to implement this year is road construction!

To be precise, it is not to build roads in the city.

He has already laid neat floor tiles for the roads in the city, and he has no plans to repair them in a short time.

And what he wants to build this time is the road between each city!

With the substantial expansion of the territory of the Myriad Worlds civilization.

The distance between the cities has also become farther.

Under this premise, in order to improve the efficiency of support between cities, the only way Luo Ji can think of at present is to build roads.

As long as there is a smooth and unimpeded road connecting the various cities, the movement efficiency of grain trucks, ordnance and troops will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

At the same time, among the resources he gathered in the previous wave, he just managed to gather the materials needed to pave the asphalt road.

It was only then that Luo Ji raised the idea.

There is no doubt that this is a super large project in the true sense.

It is entirely conceivable how much time it will take.

Therefore, it is better to start work earlier.

At the same time, considering the priority and cost-effectiveness, Luo Ji planned to start from the border cities first.

Pave the road on the border first, so that the cities in the rear will be more efficient when supporting the border cities.

And during this whole process, Luo Ji definitely needed to send someone who knew something about asphalt roads to watch over, so as not to make any mistakes in the middle.

Gao Wen was obviously Luo Ji's chosen candidate.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively handed Gao Wen a simple instruction and recipe.

While signaling him to take it, he said quite simply...

"So, the matter of paving the way is left to you."

In this regard, Gao Wen, who also understood Luo Ji's meaning, naturally knew that he could not shirk this matter.

At the same time, think about it carefully, I have been paddling for almost a year, and it is time to do something serious.

After thinking up to this point, Gao Wen agreed to the matter quite simply.

Chapter 9 and Five, Booming and Exploding

For such a huge project, the manpower and material resources that need to be mobilized are undoubtedly huge.

It is not difficult to mobilize various building materials, resources and equipment.

The troublesome place really lies in the 'manpower'.

Flipping through the statistical report of the various projects in front of him.

The construction of the front fortress should be completed within this month.

At that time, just transfer this engineering team to pave the road.

However, considering the quantity and efficiency of the project, the manpower is still not enough.

According to Luo Ji's thinking, he wanted to pave all the roads of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms before he was officially promoted to the rank of Black Iron.

Because it is related to his support efficiency in the subsequent city defense battle.

Counting the time now, there are not a few years left before I was forcibly promoted to the black iron rank.

The action has to be accelerated quickly.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Luo Ji set his sights on the Beidi mountain city which was under construction.

As early as last year, the construction of the outer wall of Beidi Mountain City had been completed.

And the construction of the city is about one-fifth complete.

Now that he is in urgent need of paving workers, he has no choice but to transfer people from the mountain city of Beidi.

The big deal is to send a group of coolies later to help with the construction of the mountain city here.

After a round of arrangement and several orders, the entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms continued to run at high speed.

By the time the project officially started construction, the season had already entered summer.

Then a heavy rainstorm ensued, and the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, which has suffered summer drought for years, fell into a carnival!

Looking up, I felt the heavy raindrops hitting my face.

At this moment, even Luo Ji, who was always calm, couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face.

A heavy rain this summer proved that the troubled Little Ice Age finally made them survive!

As long as they get through these difficult days, the lives of the people will undoubtedly be much easier in the winter and summer.

At the same time, crops can grow better, and food production will also increase.

It made Luo Ji feel that all hardships are rewarding.

However, before he could be happier for a while, a loud roaring sound suddenly came from a distance!

Hearing this exaggerated movement, Luo Ji's heart tightened as if he had remembered something.

After that, before he had time to say anything more, he quickly rushed towards the Ordnance Research Department.

Before he officially approached, from a long distance, he could already see a large amount of black smoke rising from the sky above the Ordnance Research Department.

The explosion just now probably set the entire Ordnance Research Department on fire.

Fortunately, it was raining heavily in the sky. Judging by the posture, the fire should have been basically extinguished.

Such an exaggerated movement naturally attracted the attention of many people.

People from the patrol team in the city also rushed to the scene immediately.

And pulled up the isolation belt, sealed off the entire nearby area, and prohibited ordinary people from approaching.

Passing through the isolation belt, Luo Ji quickly walked into the Ordnance Research Department with a group of guards.

There is nothing wrong with the high wall around the Ordnance Research Department.

But the office building inside has collapsed by half, and the source of the black smoke is undoubtedly here.

This scene made Luo Ji's whole heart hang in his throat in an instant.
