Chapter 862: Emerald Tower
These buildings were called "Emerald Towers" by the people of the Kingdom of Chronos.
It is called jade only because its surface is emerald green.
It covers an area of 27 square kilometers and is not as high as the Sky Arena, only over 400 meters.
There are nearly forty floors, with an average of one floor every ten meters.
And unlike the pyramid-like Sky Arena, the "Emerald Tower" is a giant cylindrical building, just like the Royal Military Academy's athletic tower.
From the outside, you can clearly see that every floor of the "Emerald Tower" is planted with wheat that is an average of six or seven meters high.
Each grain of wheat is clearly distinct, some are even as small as a little finger.
Such high-yield wheat is rare in the ocean.
The wheat and rice commonly seen in the sea are actually quite common, but perhaps due to some favorable environments, they can be harvested four or even five times a year.
We have to admit that the ocean has rich resources and the soil is very fertile. This is also the reason why some major grain-producing countries can dominate the world by relying on sufficient food.
They united together to form a food alliance that could even manipulate food prices on the ocean, and even the world government did not dare to offend them easily.
But that's in the past.
Almost two hundred years ago, such a food alliance was severely hit by the world government.
Pirate invasions, natural disasters, civil unrest in the kingdom, there are all kinds of ways.
With the improvement of the status of member states, such food alliances seem to be on the rise again around the world.
Because of the chaos in the Red Earth Continent, even though the World Government abandoned many civilians and established a quarantine network, it still needed to spend nearly 100 billion Beli to purchase food every year.
These grain-rich countries have sufficient population and strong economic power. Over the years, they have built up powerful armies by purchasing various weapons.
The ambitious kings are already ready to take action and are sharpening their knives.
When we say there is peace in the world, we are only referring to the average strength.
But when it comes to war, there are dozens of kingdoms in the world today that are in a state of war.
The chaos brought about by the Great Pirate Age could not be suppressed by the navy alone.
If the kingdom wants to divert conflicts within itself, war is undoubtedly the best way.
Guilds, mercenaries, bounty hunters, and all kinds of evil people are at war.
The so-called peace is only relative.
Thanks to the vast slave market, various slave traders were also active on various battlefields.
Selling the people of the defeated kingdom.
Many kingdoms had a huge demand for these slaves.
After all, a slave only costs four or five hundred thousand Baileys.
You can get your money back in just a few months of work.
Next, we can continue to create value.
If you want to ease domestic conflicts, buying slaves is also an effective way.
Let slaves do all the difficult work.
Whether it is planting or construction.
All the profits you earn belong to you, you just need to make sure you don’t starve to death.
As for the rebellious residents, after the army violently suppressed them, they were directly sold to slave traders.
Such violent practices actually made the kingdom more stable and developed faster.
The only ones who were oppressed were the lower-class residents, which was like transferring money from the left hand to the right hand, but their identities changed and they became slaves.
Under the fear of becoming a slave, many people dare not resist.
The situation in the entire ocean changed inadvertently.
In the past, slavery was kept secret and not brought to the surface.
However, the world government took the initiative to initiate the slave trade.
The entire ocean became a huge slave farm.
Millions of people were enslaved every year.
The times seemed to be going backwards, and slavery was completely revived.
In other words, slavery has never been completely eliminated, but it is now regaining its glory.
As the kingdom grew, no one thought about how many slaves were exploited.
Some people will naturally do this when they see the benefits.
When slaves have no human rights and no benefits, these things fall into the hands of the royal family and can naturally satisfy the demand for heavenly gold.
This year, three kingdoms have applied to become members of the World Government, and there may be more in the future.
This is good for world government.
It was like opening Pandora's box, gradually heading towards an endless abyss.
Maybe if you raise your arms and call out, the whole ocean will boil.
This is the mission of the revolutionary army.
The revolutionary army will not perish, at least before completing its historical mission. As long as it can hold out through this period, it will usher in glory.
After all, when the resentment towards the World Government and the resentment towards the Kingdom reached its peak.
The trumpet of freedom will be blown!
Those slaves were the natural allies of the revolutionary army.
In other words, it is an important source of source for the expansion of the revolutionary army.
The World Government created this situation single-handedly.
The "Emerald Tower" is now an important core for the development of the Kingdom of Chronos.
The first layer is 27 square kilometers, nearly 40,000 acres.
And an "Emerald Tower" has forty floors.
That is nearly 1.6 million acres.
When the cultivated land area of the Kingdom of Chronos reached its maximum in horizontal development, it shifted its breakthrough to vertical development.
The "Emerald Tower" is a shining pearl built on this concept.
According to the plan of the Kingdom of Chronos, nearly 400 such Emerald Towers will be built, covering a vast area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers of the Kingdom of Chronos.
This is equivalent to more than 600 million mu of arable land.
If this matter were to spread to the sea, it would shock countless people.
The material used to build the Emerald Tower is a special stone developed by the Chronos Kingdom based on the ability of Tyr's Fusion Fruit. Some of it is similar to plastic and has amazing plasticity and toughness.
The cost is not high.
According to the plan, the construction of the Emerald Tower is only one twentieth completed.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Chronos has also developed artificial soil, which only needs regular sunlight, water and fertilization to meet the growth needs of various plants.
And it uses super automation technology.
Watering, fertilizing, even harvesting and selecting the wheat do not require human intervention.
The number of employees on each floor does not exceed one hundred.
However, it will take a long time to complete the construction. Hades will even ask the army and students of the Royal Military Academy to help in his spare time.
It took the Kingdom of Chronos nearly two years to build the Sky Arena.
The power of devil fruits was used in this process, and many things would be difficult to create with technology alone.
After all, the height alone is more than 100 meters, so how strong must the supporting structure be!
It takes a year for the Kingdom of Chronos to build an "Emerald Tower".
However, the kingdom will start construction on dozens of them at the same time.
The kingdom has no shortage of labor nowadays, but Hades won't let them stop.
The entire kingdom was his property and belonged to the Tartarus family.
The family's businesses cover all industries, including all farmland. No one can escape the Tartarus family's control over the kingdom.
Hospitals, education, daily life, the mark of Tartarus will run through their lives.
Even the so-called businessmen are part of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
In all, the Kingdom stands at the forefront.
As long as they have enough to eat, a stable life and enough wages, that is enough for them.
Large-scale construction projects continue within the kingdom.
But Hades is much kinder than Qin Shihuang.
There is food and drink, a salary, time to rest, and you can see a doctor if you are injured or sick.
In such a world, the Kingdom of Chronos is a paradise for them.
The tragic situations in the outside world, wars, pirate invasions, and various news will also be used as counterexamples to remind them at all times.
Hades has reached the pinnacle of control over the kingdom and manipulation of people's hearts.
Whether becoming a scientist, a businessman, or working hard, everything is serving the Kingdom of Chronos and Hades.
What's more, he holds absolute power.
