Chapter 183 Before Promotion

December, 2017.

It snowed in the territory, but the temperature around it dropped again. Except for the people who needed heavy physical labor, everyone put on new cotton clothes. The water conservancy project was completed before 2017. The burned rice stalks turned into ash and merged into the soil. New seeds were also sown.

There was no sugarcane in this batch of sowing. The 10,000 mu of fertile land developed by the water conservancy project was all sown with wheat and rice, two staple foods. Sugarcane, a species that is too cold-resistant, is more suitable to be sown in the spring. This season with a lower temperature is too suitable for planting sugarcane. Planting it will not be worth the loss. It is better to use it to plant staple foods with higher yields.

The new seeds were entrusted to Miss Priest and Miss Elf to screen the plants with high yield potential. The two casters who are proficient in botany used their catalytic ability to obtain a large amount of seeds for planting. The agricultural area used these seeds to select two acres of land for pilot planting, and the remaining eight acres were still the original rice and wheat.

After discussing with the deputy, Ji Lin felt that although these plants had high yield potential and showed a tendency to relatively high yield during induced growth, the harvest situation under non-ideal conditions still needed to be observed. After all, crops are only high-yield. If they have poor resistance to environmental changes and poor resistance to lodging, large areas of fields may be barren due to a rain.

Adventure and gambling are used to feed the people.

Ji Lin sat in his office, thinking about the future of the territory. In front of him, the technological requirements of the promotion era (15/15) have been fully met. The territory has an engineering college and has started to operate stably, and the archives of the city hall have also been built.

When he is promoted according to the era and confirms the start, the test from the system will also arrive at the same time.

If they fail, they must wait for a full period of time to accumulate resources and wait for another promotion.

One period of time is enough for them to lay a good foundation for their promotion again. However, the resources and enthusiasm will be exhausted in the impact again and again, and the system will force everyone to have a buffer period after failure.

It also means that they have left the first echelon of progress.

He hesitated whether to cross the era with the current steadily advancing territory and arrive at the fourth era in advance.

Can their own territory enter the fourth era in its current state?

Because in the current hot posts on the forum of the Emperor Era, there are lords who hurriedly prepared their troops, but ended up encountering the same test thrown by the system and failed and entered the cooling-off period. They angrily posted their experience of being cheated by the system on the forum.

As more and more people tried to be promoted, the lords divided the test of the system era into two types.

Two types of tests.

‘Invasion’ and ‘natural disaster’.

Invasion is an attack by an organized army that can be resisted by relying on military strength, military equipment and defense facilities.

From the first era to the fourth era, natural disasters came on stage.

Natural disasters are a new test that is completely different from military invasions. It directly tests the organization and mobilization capabilities of the entire society. Those lords who focus on military and territory construction will basically have no chance to pass if they are unlucky enough to encounter natural disasters.

Floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, blizzards, they are called natural disasters by humans... The magic side needs to face special natural disasters from the magic side.

A little carelessness will lead to heavy losses in the territory. When the loss exceeds a certain value, the system will judge that they have lost the qualification for promotion.

After two lives, Ji Lin vaguely felt that he had grasped the characteristics of the promotion mechanism of this era.

The system is to train them and cultivate their resistance to natural disasters and military invasions.

So what is the real difference between these lords and their subjects, natives and invaders?

No one knows. Asking the system about this kind of thing will only get a no-tell answer.

The natives became lords by the judgment of the system. Are these lords really that different from others, or special?

It's really a scary operation mode.

Responsibility and conscription.

Ji Lin shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind and refocused his attention on the promotion button in front of him.

As long as he pressed the button, he could start to impact the colonial era, which was the highest watershed in the low era.

There is a great advantage in being the first to be promoted to the colonial era. They can build long-distance facilities in advance to occupy the resource points in the area given by the system.

In the colonial era, the lords can finally leave their own territories and have the ability to travel far. Whether starting from land or from the sea, they can detect areas with multiple resources. And use the resources in the colonies to nourish their own territories, forming a positive cycle and consolidating their own colonial areas.

Some blocks are rich in plant crops, some blocks are rich in minerals, some areas are rich in elemental crystals, and some blocks even have valuable populations to join the territory.

All the resources missing from the territory are supplemented by colonies. The territories in the extremely cold and yellow sand lands are extremely eager to obtain a piece of land for cultivation.

Of course, the lords are more accustomed to calling these areas world fragments, or broken worlds.

This is a truly unlimited war zone, an area outside the "safe zone" of the territory that can obtain additional resources to make up for the lack of resources in the territory.

In the future, everyone will fight for these sunny lands without stopping.

In order to avoid extreme internal friction among lords in the fight for these areas, which has always been the original intention of the system, the system has equipped everyone with a recall system.

Without this recall system, a territory with tens of thousands of people will lose two people every month due to war, and will soon kill its own population.

The first two people who die every month will be recalled to the territory, and the lost resources and items will be returned to the original place. The system only helps you rescue human resources.

As for those who exceed this recall number...then they will really die. The system only gives everyone a loss limit that will increase with the times.

The advantage of a race with a high fertility rate is particularly evident here. Low-end servants died and died. Human resources are one of the cheapest resources for them. The Golin priests will shed a tear for the Golins at the bottom, and the rat warlords will also have more compassion for the slave rats.

Ji Lin thought, tapping his fingertips on the table. He was ready for promotion. He did everything he could to deal with invasions and natural disasters.

The water conservancy construction was completed, and the water supply system of the territory had been replaced to the latest.

The work of the fishery area was handed over to Chang Heng. His ability was enough to temporarily serve as the manager of the entire fishery area. The dean and Ji Lin had established a suitable and stable system. The general only needed to follow the system to maintain the work of the fishery area. Chang Heng also put all military training on the seashore, so that he could train new musket soldiers while managing the fishery.

The dean engraved the structural strengthening runes on the gun barrels with peace of mind. The new batch of gun barrels, 200, was enough to organize two teams of 100-man musket shooters for the territory.

The only drawback was that there was no transparent glass manufacturing technology. With transparent glass, the sight, which greatly enhanced the technology of musketeers, could be added. Their musketeer team could increase the effective range while having extremely deadly precision shooting.

With 100 technically enhanced flintlock musket shooters, he was confident that he could handle all possible enemy attacks in this era.

Ji Lin was promoted according to the era.

‘Do you want to start the test of promotion to the fourth era?’

Ji Lin raised his head and saw the light screens that occupied his entire field of vision unfolded by the system.

“Yes.”

Come on.
