Chapter 430 Preparation and Repair

The countdown to regional resource integration is 115꽭.

Naturally, the first task when returning to the territory is to improve the current construction of the territory.

Ji Lin opened the management panel and looked at the various sub-data that were constantly beating on it. A large amount of work was led by Zhongshan.

The current number of people in the territory finally exceeded 100,000.

Ji Lin looked up at the continuous wooden houses outside the window. The exterior walls of some houses were lined with white marble, making these traditional buildings look less monotonous.

Have you mastered cement technology yet?

Cement is an essential requirement for construction. A large number of high-end 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 steelmaking plant in the fifth era to improve the quality and output of steel.

Blast furnace steelmaking.

Iron ore, coke and flux are added into the furnace from the top of the blast furnace, and then high-temperature hot air is blown in from the tuyere at the bottom of the furnace to generate reducing gas, which reduces the iron ore and produces molten iron and slag during the ironmaking process.

This relatively simple, high-yield, low-tech process has remained the primary method of ironmaking until modern times.

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

All existing blacksmiths in the territory must iterate into iron and steel technical workers in the industrial era, rather than adhering to their original smelting mode.

New industrial people will replace old technical people.

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

The mechanical devices around them replaced the hammers they relied on for a living. They did not need to forge to make qualified steel, but used molds to shape the parts at once.

But Ji Lin has no plans to cancel the existing blacksmith positions. They can provide the 100,000 people in the territory with the various forged iron tools they need.

Those more delicate parts and devices that are inconvenient to be manufactured mechanically still require these craftsmen to manufacture.

The improvement of productivity allows the territory to withdraw some people from labor-intensive industries and arrange them into new positions under the mandatory scheduling tasks of the city hall.

One hundred thousand people, Ji Lin remembers that the small city in his hometown before crossing over was also 300,000 people... That fifth-tier small city surrounded by mountains and rivers, only when walking in it did he realize how big "ten thousand" is of a number.

In order to take care of these 100,000 people, the territory is currently building fifteen residential areas that can accommodate 5,000 people. The remaining 25,000 people live scattered in various wooden houses waiting for the next batch of tests to be promoted to become Eligible Territory Residents.

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

The review must be strict, this is life and death.

The auxiliary colleges are on holiday again, which further increases the pressure on the territorial affairs officers.

At the current growth rate, the number of people in the territory under his control will soon exceed this number.

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

During his absence, the surge in government work suddenly piled up on Alicia's head...

The only one with less pressure is the police department that Wu Bai is responsible for, because Ji Lin has given him the right to recruit permission, and the demand for guards is not as high as that of government officials in the territory now.

Nowadays, government officials in the territory basically do not sit in the office to rest. When someone comes in, they are pulled to the front line, and all employees are busy in the front line rotation.

While the lord is engaged in work on other world lines, the territory continues to move forward according to its original route.

"Hard work."

Ji Lin thanked the priest girl beside him, looked at the latter's lovely angry expression, and gently held her in his arms.

"I'll take you to the territory after I finish handling the current plans. Well, if you have any requests, you can tell me."

After all, during his absence, the other party was assisting in handling government affairs.

He didn't even bring him a gift... The system didn't even let Ji Lin bring random things back.

I don’t know if giving the [Knight’s Blunt Sword] to her will have any effect on the Skitarii... The Skitarii have become like that, are they still human after all?

Alicia lay lazily on top of him and hummed twice to let him pass by.

"I want to hear a story, a hundred and forty stories..."

Golden eyes looked at him

"You're not looking for another...woman, are you?"

Ji Lin shook his head quickly.

There was not even a single woman in that world whose name he could remember.

As for Alicia, Ji Lin took advantage of her anyway.

After the construction of the auxiliary building was completed, Ji Linhui placed the intellectual core into it.

Brand new data unfolded before him.

‘Core of Intellectual Wisdom: Bell’

‘Level: Level 4’

'Loyalty: Absolutely'

‘Downlink: Immediately obtain control of a structure/mechanical unit connected to the radio network. The access/hacking time and protection power are related to the body size. When this unit is immediately upgraded to an elite unit, its combat effectiveness is increased by another 20%, and it can be connected to up to 2 small structures. ’

'Well, these undefended machines...what? Same race? These things don't deserve to be called my kin, they are just empty shells of action...just borrowed a little bit...'

‘Recompile Defense: Install anti-osmosis locks and self-destruct devices for all your constructs/rune mechanical units. Constructs are improved 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 power of the unit. ’

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

‘General-purpose machinery: This intelligent machine was designed with its ability to work in multiple industries in mind, and can be applied to all positions to handle a variety of situations. The total output of the territory +5%, information processing efficiency +50%, and auxiliary power is provided according to the computing power. ’

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