Chapter 430 Preparation and Repair

Countdown to regional resource integration is 115 days.

The first task after returning to the territory is naturally to improve the current construction of the territory.

Ji Lin opened the management panel and looked at the sub-data that kept jumping on it. A lot of work was led by Chongshan.

The current population of the territory has finally exceeded 100,000.

Ji Lin looked up at the stone houses that stretched out outside the window. Some of the houses had white marble lining on their exterior walls, making these traditional buildings look less monotonous.

Haven't I figured out the cement technology yet?

Cement is a rigid demand for building the territory. A large number of advanced buildings require cement and steel bars to maintain sufficient structural strength.

Speaking of steel...

The current blacksmith shop can also be upgraded to a steam blast furnace steel plant in the fifth era to improve the quality and output of steel.

Blast furnace steelmaking.

Iron ore, coke and flux are added to the furnace from the top of the blast furnace, and then high-temperature hot air is blown into the blast nozzle at the bottom of the furnace to produce reducing gas, reduce the iron ore, and produce molten iron and slag in the ironmaking process.

This process is relatively simple, with large output and low technical requirements. It is still the main method of iron smelting until modern times.

This is also the smelting method unlocked by various lords in the fifth or even fourth era.

All existing blacksmiths in the territory must be transformed into steel technicians in the industrial age, rather than adhering to their original smelting mode.

The new industrial population will replace the old technical population.

Craftsmen and technical workers seem to be engaged in steel smelting, but the nature of their work is completely different.

The mechanical devices beside them replaced the hammers they relied on for their livelihood. They did not need to forge to make qualified steel, but formed the parts in one go through molds.

But Ji Lin did not cancel the plan to cancel the existing blacksmith positions. They can switch to providing the 100,000 people in the territory with all kinds of forged iron tools they need.

Those more sophisticated parts and devices that are not easy to manufacture mechanically still need these craftsmen to manufacture.

The improvement of productivity allows the territory to withdraw part of the population from labor-intensive industries and arrange them to new positions under the mandatory dispatching tasks of the city hall.

One hundred thousand people. Ji Lin remembered that the small city of his hometown before he crossed over had only three hundred thousand people... In that fifth-tier small city surrounded by mountains and rivers, only when walking in it can one realize how big a number "ten thousand" is.

In order to take care of these one hundred thousand people, the territory currently builds fifteen residential areas that can accommodate five thousand people, and the remaining twenty-five thousand people are scattered in various wooden houses waiting for the next batch of tests to be promoted to qualified territory residents.

The current promotion speed actually depends on how many affairs officers in the territory are conducting assessments and audits. Even if the affairs officers are overloaded now, they can only meet part of the audit needs.

The audit must be strict, this is a death order.

The auxiliary college is on holiday again, which further increases the pressure on the affairs officers of the territory.

And at the current growth rate, the population of the territory under his command will soon exceed this number.

Ji Lin flipped through the report spread out in front of him.

During his absence, the surge in government affairs was piled up on Alicia's shoulders...

The only department with less pressure was the police department that Wu Bai was in charge of, because Ji Lin gave him the right to recruit, and the demand for guards was not as high as that of government officials in the territory now.

Now, government officials in the territory basically don't sit in the office to rest. When someone comes in, they are pulled to work on the front line, and all the staff are busy in rotation on the front line.

When the lord is engaged in other world line work, the territory continues to move forward according to the original route.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ji Lin thanked the priest girl beside him, looked at the latter's cute expression of puffing, and gently hugged her in his arms.

"I will take you to the territory to play after I deal with the current plan. Well, if you have any requirements, you can tell me."

After all, during his absence, she assisted in handling government affairs.

He didn't even bring her a gift...The system can't let Ji Lin bring back anything randomly.

I don't know if giving her the [Knight's Blunt Sword] will work on the Crusaders...The Crusaders have become like that, are they still human?

Alicia lazily lay on him, humming and letting him get away with it.

"If you want to hear a story, the story of one hundred and forty days..."

Golden eyes looked at him

"You didn't find other... women, did you?"

Ji Lin shook his head quickly.

He didn't even have a woman whose name he could remember in that world.

As for Alicia, no matter what, Ji Lin got the advantage.

The auxiliary building was built, and Ji Lin waved his hand to put the intellectual core into it.

Brand new data unfolded in front of him.

'Intellectual Wisdom Core: Bell'

'Level: Level 4'

'Loyalty: Absolute'

'Downlink: Immediately gain control of a construct/mechanical unit connected to the radio network. The access/hacking time and defense ability are related to the size. The unit will be immediately upgraded to an elite unit, and the combat effectiveness will be increased by 20%, and up to 2 small constructs can be connected. '

'Well, these undefended machines... what? Fellows? These things are not worthy of being called my fellows, they are just empty shells for action... just borrowing a little bit...'

‘Recompile Defense: Install anti-infiltration locks and self-destruct devices for all your constructs/rune mechanical units. Construct performance increased by 5%. ’

‘Your engineering is too crude, but I can help you improve it... It only takes a little time, and it will definitely give our enemies a little surprise. ’

‘Gestalt expansion: All actions require its computing power. The higher the computing power, the stronger the unit can be. ’

‘I have to say that the rune mechanical computer limits my ability too much. My ability comes more from my original self... This small machine is not enough for me to exert my ability. ’

‘General-purpose machinery: This intelligent machine was designed with its ability to work in multiple industries in mind, and can be used in all positions to handle a variety of situations. Territory total output +5%, information processing efficiency +50%, and auxiliary capabilities are provided based on computing power. ’

‘In short, I will do my best to help you. ’
