Chapter 54 Support Point
A large row of transport ships stopped at the temporary port at the same time. As soon as the ship's hatch was opened, the outside immediately became busy. The things needed to build a city are not as simple as one or two. Even if we have a fleet, it is impossible to transport a city. In fact, what we brought was just large machinery and construction materials for the teleportation array, nothing more.
In fact, the construction of Fulcrum City had already begun after Leichuan was completed. Ling Yuanchui's task was not only to provide cover, but also to build preliminary projects for Fulcrum City. Our large machinery was brought ashore and assembly began. The ground here has been marked with a large number of symbols. These symbols were painted by the girls from Leichuan overnight. These are the basic construction drawings of the city. We need to build the city quickly according to these marks.
14 super drilling rigs were erected, and fixed piles were driven into the ground. These will be the main positioning lines of urban buildings. In the area outside the city, large excavators powered by magic crystals are digging foundations for the city wall. These excavators use the power equipment of Atlantis's two-person motorboat. Although the power is a bit smaller, it is much faster than digging by ourselves.
The dragons held the huge magic pillars and 'inserted' them at the fixed points on the ground. The dragons next to them helped press the pillars into the soil. Then the monsters carried the two-ton boulders and began to pave the square. The ground under the magic pillar was paved. The German girls quickly began to install magic crystals, and others began to outline magic circles on the rocks.
The foundation of the city wall was quickly completed, and the golems carried the boulders and quickly started to build the city wall. The crystal beetles brought from the Steel City ate some rocks and then began to secrete condensation to stick together the boulders that made up the city wall. These were similar to quick-drying The hardness of cement is very high, which can completely ensure the solidity of the city wall.
After a layer of rocks was piled up, a group of well-trained NPC workers began to insert steel bars vertically on both sides of the rock. After these finger-thick metal bars were fixed, the first layer of rocks was completely surrounded inside. The dragons brought the same steel bars and began to place them horizontally. The dragon's powerful strength can easily bend these steel bars. They interspersed the horizontal steel bars between the longitudinal steel bars, and soon weaved them into a steel grid. These wrapped rocks and steel bars are the foundation walls, which are the core of the city wall.
The giant dragon retreated from the city wall, and the second rock was transported to the city wall by the devil. The new rock was stacked against the steel lattice-wrapped foundation wall, and the gaps between the two were filled with our “quick-drying cement.” Both sides of the foundation wall were covered with new rock, then wrapped again with steel bars, and then surrounded by rock again. After several layers of repeated wrapping, the outermost layer of rock was left without steel bars.
On the Great White Shark, Hongyan moved a pile of giant steel plates. No one but him could move these things. The city wall we are building now is a trapezoidal structure composed of rock and steel bars that is 40 meters wide at the top, 50 meters wide at the bottom, and 68 meters high. Because the city wall has a foundation, the part of the city wall above the ground is actually only 50 meters, but this is not short. Each of those huge steel plates is up to centimeters thick, and their height is exactly the same as the sloping wall of the city wall. These dimensions were calculated when the Steel City was cast.
Huge steel plates covered the outer surface of the city wall, and the inner walls did not require such defense. After the outer side of the city wall was completely covered with steel plates, the red flames began to attack the top of the city wall. It's just that the steel plate used this time is smaller, but the thickness is 30 centimeters.
These steel plates were connected to the city wall by the quick-drying condensation of the crystal beetle. After confirming that they were secure, our steel claws and bulldozers worked together to backfill the excavated soil into the gully. After the city wall was completely connected to the ground, I asked the golems to I ran back and forth on the soil several times to compact the soil.
The current city wall is dark and has a metallic luster, but this is not what we want. The craftsmen quickly painted a layer of silver-white substance on the inside and outside of the city wall. Then the giant dragons began to bake the city wall with dragon flames, and the silver substance was quickly dried and fixed on the steel plate. The dragon did not stop, and they began to cooperate with the excavator to dig outside the city wall again, this time digging a moat. As for the water source, there is the sea behind us. Is there not much water?
After the moat was dug, the dragons turned all the excavated soil into mud and put it into our huge machine for processing. This thing with a huge drum is actually a concrete mixer, but the thing we are mixing this time is rather strange. Mud, crystal dust, dragon tears, phoenix blood, plus a small amount of angel bone powder. The soil is obtained from local materials, the crystal dust is ground into powder from the magic crystal that has used up its energy, the phoenix blood comes from the prodigal son and Xiaofeng, and the angel bone powder. Essinger is full of them, and there are angel corpses all under the city. The Dragon's Tears are the most difficult to make. They were contributed by Xiao Longnu. For this reason, we used one kilogram of onions to get this small pot. However, this is the main raw material and it cannot be prepared without preparation.
What was finally produced was a kind of soil with a light pink color. It was soft and felt like plasticine, but it was actually a very good nutritional soil. We put the pink soil from the mixer on the city wall. There was a layer of half a meter thick. Then Mei Mingzhi, a gardening expert from our guild, came over.
Mei Mingzhi recently cultivated a special plant with strong attack power. And he has a certain sense of territory, which he just put to use this time. A row of seeds was put into the special pink soil, and after a few seconds, small seedlings emerged from the soil. There seems to be nothing special about them from the seedlings. The only characteristic is that they grow very fast.
After the seedlings grew up, Mei Mingzhi asked us to use magic to attack these seedlings. I asked several mage players to fire some lightning spells. As a result, the seedlings immediately began to grow rapidly as soon as they came into contact with lightning. In almost ten seconds, these plants covered the entire city wall. Now our city wall is completely like a hill covered with plants, and those plants have begun to spread to the surrounding soil, and the land outside the city has also been quickly occupied. , the entire 100 meters outside the city wall are full of these green plants.
These plants have very ordinary green leaves, and they quickly bloom into patches of yellow flowers, but the size of these flowers is a little off. As soon as I got closer to take a look, the flower suddenly stretched out, and the petals parted to reveal the center of the flower. That's not a flower! A complete monster. In the middle of the flower center are two rings of sharp teeth, and in the center where the stamens should be are five long red tentacles. I realized something was wrong and quickly backed away. The tentacles of that flirtatious heart suddenly shot out and wrapped around me.
Mei Mingzhi took out a bottle and sprinkled it, and some liquid with a faint fragrance flew over. As soon as the plant felt the liquid, it immediately began to retreat, but it was still stuck a little. The touched part quickly withered and withered, but the plant itself seemed not to be harmed.
Mei Mingzhi took another bottle of liquid and handed it to me and said: "This is a specially made perfume from the flower juice I extracted from another plant. It tastes ordinary but has a strong lethality to this plant. From now on. We can sell this in the city, and Korean players passing by who want to go out of the city can buy our perfume, how about that?"
"Yes, yes. But what if these plants spray out to the mage? A fireball will burn them all."
Mei Mingzhi immediately said: "Then you throw a fireball over."
I immediately threw a small fireball over. As a result, the fireball flew into the air and was swallowed by the flower. Then the flower began to squirm, as if chewing. After a while, a red flower bloomed next to the flower, and the red flower was still burning with flames.
Mei Mingzhi explained: "After eating the fireball, flame flowers will grow. Not only are they not afraid of fire, but they can also breathe fire. If you use lightning, lightning flowers will grow, which can discharge electricity."
"Then what if I use explosives?"
"Explosives are a dual combination of physical attacks and fire attacks. It is estimated that flame flowers and steel flowers will grow. I have not tested it specifically."
"Yes, this is already good."
I didn't expect Mei Mingzhi's newly cultivated plant to be so powerful. It is not afraid of almost anything except for the kind of perfume with a slight fragrance. As long as you are not strong enough to completely eliminate it at once, it will grow back quickly and will be upgraded accordingly.
After planting the flowers, I started applying for city establishment. Fulcrum City has only one wall because its location does not require many walls. There are mountains on both sides. There is the sea behind it, so all we need to do is seal the only entrance. Facing the sea, we have built a large number of fort bases, which can be turned into armed forts as soon as the cannons arrive.
After the city application was completed, Fulcrum City was officially established, and the transnational teleportation array was activated only after it was confirmed as a city. This thing cannot be activated in the wild, mainly to prevent it from being modified by players into a combat teleportation array.
As soon as the teleportation array was connected, a large number of workers rushed out carrying construction materials. The fleet only transported a few materials, and most of the things were piled in Essinger and were only now transported through the teleportation array. The first project is to build a fort array behind the city wall, and then start to modify the mountains on both sides. To make these mountains difficult to climb, it can have the effect of a city wall. At the same time, the commanding heights on the top of the mountain are also a good place to set up forts.
A busy night. When the sun came up we were already mounting the cannon on the fort. The location of Fulcrum City means that it will directly face the Japanese attack. I dare not let it retain only a few weapons like other cities. This has simply become a concentration of heavy weapons for our guild. Behind the city wall is a forest-like array of forts distributed high and low, and there are also cannons on the tops of the mountains on both sides. The coastline is completely a group of forts, and shore-based torpedo launchers are also installed to ensure that enemy warships cannot approach. Before the Korean players arrived, I first transferred the Essinger garrison over, and now the city wall is full of guards.
Although we piled up all the defense facilities outside the city overnight, the city was still deserted except for the teleportation array. We only had time to finish the defenses. There is no time to build the inner city facilities. Now that the defense is completed, it is time to start building internal buildings, but the amount of this project is even greater. I guess it won't be finished before dark.
We were still working on the construction, and Xiaobuki suddenly contacted me. "President, how is the construction situation over there?"
"Not bad. What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Xiaobuki thought for a while and said: "Some rumors have begun to circulate here. It seems that someone has discovered the construction work of Fulcrum City, but they have not yet thought that this is a Chinese city. They are all planning to come and take a look. It’s probably only a matter of time before this new city is discovered.”
"Don't worry, we completed the defense facilities last night, and now all that's left is the internal construction, which will be completed by tonight."
"That's great. Should I start preparing to build a drug store?"
"Not only drug stores, but also blacksmiths and laboratories are needed. These are all profitable industries. When the two sides start fighting, we will wait and count the money!"
"Okay, I'm going to make a lot of money this time."
"Not this time, but all the time. This is a chicken that lays golden eggs."
After cutting off the chat, I quickly went to Korea. Union City was already overcrowded. We heard that the service to Japan would be launched in the evening, so those players began to gather here crazily and wait to enter the space gate. Of course, they just boosted the city's economy during this leisure time. Although the stores in United City are all leased to Korean players, the stores in Fulcrum City are all our stores. Everything sold in Fulcrum City is twice as expensive as Union City. This is called huge profits.
Park Yin's first reaction when she saw me appearing in Union City was to ask me if group tickets were sold here. Her guild wanted to go all together to fight, but the price for a single person was a bit expensive. I thought about it for a long time before saying: "This is absolutely not allowed. If a precedent is set, our future business will be difficult. I can give you some discount cards. You can get discounts when buying things in the fulcrum city, but the transmission fee cannot be reduced."
Pu Yin said helplessly: "I'm just asking. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's not that I can't accept it anyway. By the way, I'll give you a suggestion."
"What?"
"You can set those guilds as friendly guilds, so that when we and the Korean guilds get there, there will be attribute bonuses near your city. This is very cheap."
