#258 - A world wonder has been built!

After that, he encountered another leader, Peter the Great of the Russian Empire.

He had a pair of curved mustaches at the corners of his mouth and heavy bags under his eyes, making him look like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Hello, I am Tsar Peter. A leader as refined as you must enjoy the finer things in life. Do you also appreciate art?"

Tuoyi greeted him with equal friendliness.

The civic "Code of Laws" was completed because, compared to the many options in the technology tree such as Astrology, Animal Husbandry, Pottery, and Mining, the most basic civic, Code of Laws, was the only one, so it was automatically researched from the start.

"Not wisdom but Authority makes law. - Thomas Hobbes"

Tuoyi looked at the available policies. The military policies included Survey, which increased Scout experience, and Discipline, which increased combat strength against barbarians. The economic policies included Urban Planning, which provided +1 production to all cities, and Monarchy, which granted the capital +1 gold and +1 faith.

"The military policies aren't great, they're all pretty weak. This Urban Planning seems awesome, +1 production. But what are faith points? Should I choose this one?"

After thinking for a moment, Tuoyi dragged the Survey and Monarchy cards to the policy slots and clicked confirm.

On the top of the screen, there were four values: science, culture, faith, and gold. Science points affected the speed of technology research, culture points affected the speed of civic research, and gold could be used to directly purchase units. He could see that there was now a +1 next to faith.

He then chose the "Foreign Trade" civic to research.

Next turn.

Amanitore appeared again, pressing one hand to her chest as a gesture of courtesy, with a smile on her face: "Our delegation brings goodwill and fresh camel livers. They must be stir-fried quickly, or they will become tough!"

[Your delegation is very welcome!]

Barbarian scouts appeared outside the city. Tuoyi selected his warrior and zoomed in with the mouse wheel to watch as the four warriors, wielding stone axes, struck a heavy blow.

Scouts naturally couldn't beat warriors. It looked like it would take two turns to eliminate them.

The builder was also finished. Tuoyi moved them to the rice resource and chose to build a farm.

"Improving a farm resource makes you fully aware of the importance of irrigating crops."

The Eureka for Irrigation was triggered, and the mostly researched Irrigation was instantly completed.

Tuoyi's eyes lit up: "This can also trigger a Eureka!"

Completing Irrigation unlocked a wonder, the Hanging Gardens. The effect was to accelerate the growth of all cities by 15% and must be built next to a river.

"Wow, this is too strong!" Tuoyi didn't hesitate to build the Hanging Gardens directly!

Clicking next turn, the injured barbarian scout ran away.

The builder moved to the reindeer resource this turn and built a camp, arriving at the Hanging Gardens location in three turns.

Clicking the button to add production to the wonder reduced the builder's number of uses by one, and the remaining turns for the Hanging Gardens went from 26 to 21.

The scout on the left quickly encountered the ocean and followed the coast upwards, encountering the leader of the Rose Kingdom, Queen Victoria.

Wearing a crown and a silver dress, she bowed slightly: "Hello, by the grace of God, Victoria is the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

She fanned herself with a folding fan, opening it with a "swish", her posture calm and elegant: "I dare say, the entire empire will soon be hers."

The Foreign Trade civic was completed. After considering it, Tuoyi directly bought a trader for 200 gold and started trading with Stockholm, which was right next to his doorstep.

Not only did he get +5 gold per turn, but also 1 science.

After a few more turns.

A world wonder has been built!

An animation appeared on the screen, showing many bricks appearing on the ground. The camera slowly rotated to display the wonder's construction process, with the bricks being continuously stacked higher. Scaffolding appeared and was removed. After the main body of the building was completed, the gray-white bricks began to gain detail and color from the bottom up.

Each platform was planted with flowers, plants, and trees, looking like a garden from afar. The main colors of the walls were a river-like blue and a sunset-like warm yellow. Classical patterns were drawn on the columns, torches burned at the four corners, and the top was covered with a graceful golden dome.

As the camera rotated, the shadow of the building also rotated, as if time passed from morning to dusk. The winding river reflected the light of the sun, and in the rosy sunset afterglow, the Hanging Gardens appeared incomparably noble and beautiful, with the capital city of Xi'an behind it.

A mature and steady male voice slowly narrated: "The staircase leads to the top floor, next to the water pumps, which employ a large number of workers to work together to draw water from the Euphrates River to the garden. - Strabo"

Tuoyi watched the Hanging Gardens take shape little by little in the animation, feeling extremely excited!

The Hanging Gardens, also one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Legend has it that the King of Babylon married a princess who was beautiful and deeply loved by the king. But after staying in the palace for a long time, she became sad.

The king asked her why she was troubled. It turned out that her hometown had many mountains, flowers, and plants, but here there was only an endless plain, which made her homesick. So, the king ordered craftsmen to build layered terraced gardens, planted with exotic flowers and plants, and opened quiet mountain paths in the garden, with gurgling streams beside the paths, finally bringing a smile back to the princess's face.

Although the Hanging Gardens no longer exist, according to records, people who came to Babylon to worship, trade, or travel could see the golden roof of the aerial city shining in the sun from afar, which must have been a magnificent sight.

And this wonder seemed to reappear across history, appearing in his capital city.

The people of the country would surely cheer if they saw this miraculous building!

Tuoyi said excitedly: "Too handsome, this is a wonder! Ahhhhh, I want to build wonders!!! I want to build all the wonders!"

Inspired!

"The glory of building a wonder has greatly inspired your people. They have written works to commemorate this great event.

You have made great progress in drama and poetry."

Tuoyi carefully looked at the construction conditions of other wonders: "Stonehenge, must be built on flat land next to stone. Pyramids, need to be built in a desert without hills... There are no suitable locations around my Xi'an!"

What should I do at this time?

Of course, open a branch city!

Tuoyi carefully searched the map for suitable locations, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Oh, I found one, isn't this place next to Nubia very suitable!"
