Chapter 824 Progress Report

"Overall, the construction of the first phase of Shuguang City has been completed, and the total population we can accommodate is about 30,000. If the second phase of construction is completed, this number can be expanded to 50,000. My advice to Miss Beatrice is that 50,000 people are the limit we can accommodate at this stage. If it is not necessary, there is no need to expand the city. Instead, we should start practical and profitable affairs such as the development of factories and resources. After all, the nobles who invested in us also hope to see substantial returns soon. Theon smiled and said, "So in the second phase of urban planning, residential buildings only account for one-third. The rest is the production base of various factories, which can absorb more than 20,000 people from residents to workers. According to the current progress, the second district can be put into use in March or May. Of course, the building on Black Rose Avenue has to be renovated, so the whole project will be slightly delayed.

nodded and said, "Just follow your plan. To be honest, you and Biss are experts in this regard."

Next, others have also made their own progress reports.

After Theon sat down, Brown reported to Zero on the current armament situation in Dawn City. At the beginning of the construction of Shuguang City, only hundreds of soldiers pulled by the original company could develop under the condition of continuous foreign population joining in. The original army of hundreds of people has now expanded to more than 3,000. Under the principle of being expensive, Brown gives very harsh targets to the officers who select soldiers to ensure that the soldiers in the army have good quality.

And every three months, there will be an assessment. The content of the assessment is divided into ten subjects from physical fitness to tactics. Those who do not meet the standards in more than two subjects will be cleared of the army immediately. In contrast, the salary of soldiers in Dawn City is even higher than that of Asgard's barracks. Under such a system, even if the soldiers of Shuguang City have strict enlistment conditions, they will be cleared of the army if they are not careful.

Many young people still submit their applications every month. It is worth mentioning that the army in Dawn City is very special. They are not composed of pure humans, and there are many aliens among them. This is directly related to the proportion of urban residents, which account for one-third of the population. It can be said that Dawn City is the first city where humans and aliens live together.

At the beginning, there were conflicts between human residents and different races. But after nearly a year of running-in, we have basically been able to get along well with each other. The blueprint conceived before zero has been filled in with part of the picture.

When it comes to the army, we have to talk about weapons and equipment. This is the responsibility of the Weapons Research Institute presided over by Dr. Corder. During his trip to the Western Continent, Dr. Corder was considered to upgrade the equipment used by the Dawn City army by one or two levels. Originally, Zero's own company was an arsenal. After Dr. Kede received it, it was adjusted and optimized on the basis of the original firearms.

Now the standard configuration of soldiers is the Dark Blood 3 rifle, which is almost double the power and accuracy of the past. As for the sniper gun, the most powerful at present is naturally the improved warship gun, but ordinary soldiers can't use such a big guy, so Dr. Codd designed a reduced version of the sniper gun called the Wasteland Hunter. It retains the long-range advantages of warship artillery, but weakens its power and rear seat, allowing soldiers to use it freely.

At present, Brown is training a team of snipers. The training will be completed in two months, and the members of this team will be dispersed into the army to play a supporting role.

After the completion of the construction of the second phase of the city, there will be a heavy weapon assembly line factory, which will be used by Dr. Curd's design to produce heavy fire weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy artillery turrets. In the past six months, Dr. Code has begun to develop a new type of chariot. Zero's locomotive is just his casual work, and the output is not much, only five or six. The latest result is a concept chariot called rattlesnake, which looks like a combination of an off-road vehicle and a tank. It adopts a semi-open cockpit of the off-road vehicle and the track-driven system of the tank. On both sides is a large-caliber aerial gun launcher that can be stretched out, and the rear car is also equipped with a small missile launcher.

This kind of chariot is also driven by a high-energy system, which makes it more powerful and flexible. Dr. Codd designed it to be faster and more powerful. At present, the rattlesnake chariot is undergoing final debugging. After successful debugging, mass production can be carried out, but at the current level of the Arsenal in Dawn City, only the parts of the chariot can be produced, and the main engine components still have to be purchased from the factory in Asgard.

However, after the completion of the construction of the second district city, new production equipment will be introduced, and Shuguang City will be able to complete the production of this type of chariot independently. Dr. Corder also designed a reduced version of the flamingo chariot, which is mainly used to sell to the rich families and nobles of Asgard. At present, the order of 300 vehicles has only been secretly demonstrated by Theon to the two rich families.

Theon added: "This is just the beginning, and it is also a substantial thing we give back to our business partners. As long as they understand that their investment can be converted into benefits here, there will be more and more such investment. After the completion of the second district city, there will be more weapons and chariots like flamingo. However, I personally think that whether it is the rich family or Asgard's official, the war weapons dumped on them should be slightly controlled. Moreover, they are really interested in environmental purification technology.

"The energy required by the Neceres Shield is very special. I'm afraid there is no way to mass produce this kind of thing." After taking over the green capital of Hamermes, Zero still knows something about the shield of Neceres.

"The last time the Red Grand Duke personally escorted the Reis Shield currently used in Shuguang City, he also brought a technical team from the Green Capital to reside in Shuguang City. I have discussed with these technicians." Theon smiled and said, "Complete Les Shield cannot be mass-produced, nor can such an important core technology be sold completely to rich families, even if they may pay more than Asgard's official himself. Therefore, I have discussed with the technicians of Lvdu whether we can start from reducing the performance of Les Shield to make a purification device that can be mass-produced. In fact, in terms of the average quality of today's organisms, it does not have to have the surface environment of the old era to survive. As long as the current radiation is reduced by half, even ordinary people like me can live well.

Zero heard a sign, but he didn't imagine this. He nodded and motioned Theon to continue.

"Of course, I just put forward an idea. However, the technicians think it is feasible, but it is not a simple job to reduce the performance of the Reis Shield. At present, I have arranged a research base for them, and I'm afraid it will take some time for the results to come out. As far as the technicians said, the most difficult link to overcome the reduced version of the Reese Shield is still the energy aspect. At present, they have put forward a relatively mature idea of extracting radiation from space through an extraction device for conversion. When playing the role of synchronous purification, it can also provide clean energy for the device for recycling. Otherwise, the use of other energy sources may cause second-degree pollution, which will lose the function and significance of the purification device.

Zero nodded and said to Theon, "It is of great significance to reduce the version of Res Shield. Mr. Theon, you and Bice can relax the research funds in this area."

"We know how to do it." Theon smiled and nodded.

Next is the report of the Burning Legion, which is naturally hosted by Eva. At present, this biochemical weapon army, the first-order biological weapons have been mass-produced and put into use, the favorable blade hunter and the giant shield guard. These two most common weapons have participated in the expansion of Dawn City many times, and there have been many actual battles to clean up mutant creatures, which can be said to be very mature biological weapons.

Compared with the biological weapons independently developed by Asgard, the weapons extracted from the dark crown and then modified and debugged biological weapons have the highest intelligence and autonomy. The above two weapons have proved this in many actual battles, especially in the battle of the Harakha Theater, which has maximized the advantages of biological weapons.

At present, Eva is debugging a medium-order weapon. It appears on the big screen and shows a three-dimensional model of this medium-level weapon. At first glance, it looks like those capable people of the mutant demon system. Humanoid, the surface of the body is covered with biological armor, and the armor has natural lines. Eva explained that these lines are actually the energy circuits of biological weapons. When they are activated and moved, the lines will be lit up to form gorgeous magic lines.

The name of this biological weapon is the magic warrior, and their armor and weapons are naturally generated. Magic Knights have higher intelligence, and they can even become field commanders of the army. Take them as nodes and combine them with the command terminal to form an effective command network.

It can be said that the appearance of the Magic Samurai will be an important turning point for the Burning Legion. With the participation of the Magic Samurai, the combat effectiveness of the whole Burning Legion will double. This kind of force is equivalent to the seventh-order ability of the enemy, and can also serve as a biological weapon as a command node. At present, Eva is debugging a total of five. After debugging, they will conduct several practical tests to get more accurate data for adjustment, and then they can consider mass production.

At this point, the report of Shuguang City is about the end. Zero stood up and said, "You have worked hard during this period. I am ashamed to say that as the initiator of the Dawn City construction plan, I did not participate in its construction process and handed over the heavy responsibility of building it to you. Fortunately, our trip to the Western Continent was not all fruitful, and the biggest harvest was naturally established an ally with the city of Rome in the Western Continent. The practical gains include the biochemical warrior transformation project hosted by Dr. Ji Ya and the contract with Bellafar, the lord of the North Sea. From now on, we will travel unimpeded on the sea. The most direct benefit is that a group of sea beasts called seahorses followed us back to Harbor City. They are not combat-type sea beasts, but they are strong enough to tow cargo ships and will be an important tool for our future sea transportation.

Although zero is a few words, there is no one who listens. Not to mention the strength of the Roman city allied with it, the transformation of biochemical warriors and the acquisition of maritime passage rights alone are no longer a small thing.
