Chapter 44: Energy Talent
The white fog surrounding the territory began to dissipate, and the spectacular scene seemed to be a flood, revealing the dim sky outside the fog. Breezes blew from south to north, and there was a faint sound of rising and falling tides echoing in the ears.
The coast, at the edge of the ocean, there are floodplains, and they will not appear on small islands. He looked to the south, where there was a sunset glow reflected by the sea and sky, and seabirds took off and landed in the far distance. Looking to the north, under the clouds, you can see the continuous hills and fields with deep green.
It has the conditions to become a developed city.
Maybe in the future, he can support the entire city by making it a tourist city and watching the tides.
The light blue-white fog flowed out of his palm, surrounded his fingertips and condensed into an unstable sphere in the palm.
‘Blood purification level 2, +10% experience growth, +5% physical strength limit, -5% physical strength decay. ’
‘Source energy potential awakening population: +5% production efficiency. Psychic energy, psionic energy, magic talent, their branches are ever-changing, and we have found the original source of evolution, which we call source energy. ’
Control these source energies to launch forward.
The unstable sphere turned into a breeze and disappeared in the wind before it left his hand.
The lethality is close to zero.
It is leading in handsomeness.
This awakening is not universal. In the initial stage, just like the magic runes, only a few people have the qualifications to use this power. Most people just carry this talent until death without developing it. This kind of magic civilization can choose to extremely strengthen individuals in the characteristics of civilization, or gradually spread the magic talent to the whole.
The former is quick to take effect, but the marginal effect is very serious. The more it develops, the lower the efficiency of converting resources into combat power. The latter is slow to take effect, but its strength lies in the fact that after the wave of universal deployment, there will be a large number of excellent populations with magic talents, winning by quantity.
The deformed structure caused by the extreme strengthening of individuals will eventually slow down the development of the territory.
The only thing that is certain is that the lord will definitely get an increase in potential awakening. There are countless lords who rely on their physical fitness to charge into the enemy camp. They drain the resources of the territory to support themselves and live a comfortable life as an emperor in the territory.
They are all stuck at the threshold of the Second Industrial Revolution.
The awakening of the source of blood purification can be used to release spells and draw runes, which is a versatile type of characteristic. It is very embarrassing that he is the only one in the territory who knows that the awakening of the source talent is known. The three hero units under him have no performance at all, and the status bar and characteristics have not changed.
Turning his attention away from this source energy, he has been playing with these source energies for almost an hour, turning them into various shapes in his hands. Ji Lin wants to see how the blueprints are sold in the system store.
In his previous life, he was not specialized in the human race. The buildings of different races cannot be said to be very different, but at least they can be said to be poles apart.
‘Because you have the characteristics of fortress civilization, blueprints are unlocked for you for free: stone wall, watchtower’
‘Stone wall: 40 stone ore, build a 5-meter-high, 1-meter-wide, and 10-meter-long stone wall, and develop new blueprints based on this blueprint’
‘Watchtower: 120 wood, a 25-meter-high wooden watchtower, providing an unobstructed 5-kilometer field of vision, and develop new blueprints based on this blueprint. ’
As soon as he opened the blueprint store, a prompt from the system popped up in front of him.
Unlock two blueprints that are not expensive for him, saving a thousand gold mines to buy blueprints.
Unlike the buildings in the classical era, the imperial era has special research facilities that can improve and develop buildings. The watchtower can be upgraded to a special defense tower based on the various existing long-range arms, giving it a high degree of freedom. The same is true for city walls and various buildings.
There are six blueprints left in the blueprint store, namely: plantation, restaurant, post station, residence (imperial era), tailor shop, and blacksmith shop.
The price of each blueprint is a thousand gold mines.
He already owns the shooting range and the academy, and they will not appear in the blueprint store.
He looked at them with envy, and his funds were gone.
After feasting his eyes, he placed a watchtower at each corner of the regular hexagonal structure of the territory, spending a total of 720 units of wood. These six watchtowers can monitor the surrounding 5 kilometers to prevent any wild monsters that suddenly start to wander around from approaching the territory.
It's another daily construction from scratch.
'Please note that this time only supplies equal to the current population will be provided. Please check them. The population will arrive within 1-3 standard days. '
There are still population supplies to come, and Ji Lin cheered up a little. People mean production capacity. He doesn't lack jobs, but he really lacks people.
The price of the population in the trading market is now ridiculously high. A lowest-level goblin costs 20 gold mines, and a group of ratmen that is slightly smarter than goblins can cost 40 gold. Only people marked as slaves can be sold in the market.
He gave up the desire to continue watching after taking a look. This is not selling slaves, this is robbery!
Ji Lin switched to the character interface to check the population limit of the territory.
The population limit was directly raised to 12,800 people. The 910 people he currently has only accounted for a fraction of the huge population limit of 12,800 people.
If the system still supplies 25% of the population as before, 12,800 people will be 3,200 people, and no lord can bear it.
Looking at the 900 people who were about to come, Ji Lin looked at his empty resources.
Sigh.
In the future, the territory of 1,800 people finally looked like a normal town. With the dual advantages of the ocean and the river, he had already occupied an absolute geographical advantage. After building a post station, he could visit other city-states directly, or go to other NPC indigenous countries to learn from civilization.
There would also be other local NPCs and caravans arriving here through the post station to trade with them, or to surrender to them. These natives were not necessarily good people. He had seen a large number of cases where lords were usurped by natives, and there were also lords who could not bear the price offered by other countries and were willing to co-govern the territory with them.
Until the occurrence of "expulsion", that was an event in the later period. The system would erase the identities of a large number of lords who were usurped, or lords who had completely transferred their power, and re-promote the real power holders of those territories to become new lords.
The last sentence they received was "unqualified", an evaluation that even those lords who lived a dissolute life in the low era did not receive.
As for those guys who were expelled from the status of lords, maybe it was a good thing for them?
He didn't know, he died in a dispatch mission shortly after the incident, and he didn't have time to witness the changes.
It was too far away from him, and he didn't want to think about it.
Develop the territory.
Ji Lin hummed a little song that he himself didn't understand.
The wheat in the farmland has grown to the height of an adult's arm, like a pillar of green rope rising from the ground. In another month or ten days, when it bears fruit, it will be another harvest. These crops can earn a lot of resources in the market.
There are very few territories that can be self-sufficient in food, and even fewer territories that can feed themselves after the sudden increase in population. There are very few people like him who have rich green fields to export food and wood for gold and iron.
Most people are still struggling with the operation of the territory.
