Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating! Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 231: Epic City Construction Plan!

“As long as you work hard, you're bound to gain tremendous benefits, allowing your strength to rapidly increase.”

“That's actually enough.”

“Without Human Civilization, the Great Yan Civilization would never have such an opportunity.”

Moreover… the mere promise of “accepting survivors” is already extremely lucky within the Civilization Trial.

At this moment, not only Xi Qing understands this point, but all the other ministers of the Great Yan also do.

They finally clearly understood the attitude of Human Civilization towards them as an Affiliated Civilization, which undoubtedly helps in many future matters.

And in fact, this was the reason why Lin Xiang and others guided the young man to ask that question.

In reality, if Human Civilization truly wished to absorb the Great Yan as part of them, then the Great Yan would not oppose it at this time. However, for most of the senior ministers of the Great Yan, they still wished to maintain the existence of the Great Yan–they also had feelings for the Great Yan.

After that, the number of definite projects increased progressively during the course of the delegation's subsequent journey.

One cooperation contract after another was signed, with some even starting to operate ahead of time.

Not just the Great Yan, but the Sky Spirit Civilization also, even more so.

After all, the Sky Spirit Civilization is closer to Human Civilization, and their cooperation started even earlier.

A month passed quietly in this manner.

In this month, the greatest gain of Human Civilization, or even the entire Civilization System, was not breakthroughs in certain fields, but a clear definition of the development plan for the next five and a half years.

The final plan, were it to be stacked together on paper, could even fill an entire soccer stadium!

This shows its massive scale.

If it weren't for Fiora's existence, Human Civilization would not be able to push forward with such a massive development plan without causing chaos to the order.

Now, they even used Fiora for multiple computations, confirming there would be no mistakes and that the plan would be completed on schedule.

And among this series of development plans, there were only three that Shen Hao took very seriously.

The first one was city planning.

“This city plan, looking at the globe as a whole and based on defense, has a total of thirteen layers of defense,” said the five chief officers in charge of city planning, standing in the grand hall of Lingxiao Palace, introducing to Shen Hao, “The largest of which is the Star Defense Formation constituted by all the cities together.”

In front of them was a projection of a planet, which was indeed the Human Mother Planet, expanded by twenty-seven times in volume.

At this moment, it displayed one hundred and eight red points, and ninety-seven blue points.

“These two hundred and five large cities will become the core of this Defense Array. It is divided into two parts, consisting of the Circulation Defense Array formed by one hundred and eight cities, and the Constellation Formation formed by ninety-seven cities. They are independent of each other but also influence each other, forming together the Star Defense Formation. Even if more than half of the cities are completely destroyed, the remaining half can still maintain the operation of the formation…”

Shen Hao looked at the formation displayed on the map.

It must be said that this was indeed a masterpiece, a technological creation of Human Civilization in the new era.

Cultivation and Magic, two Extremely different Extraordinary Paths, were combined in this formation with “stars” as the core.

Though not combined perfectly, it indeed had an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Each large city was designed with two different system cores.

When necessary, it was even possible to stack the forces of both systems in some cities.

Adding to that the other three thousand medium-sized cities reliant on these two Great Formations, and tens of thousands of small cities, it can be said to be a super defense in the Extraordinary Domain, using the planet as the formation board and the cities as the formation banners.

“Fiora, give a comprehensive assessment of this city formation,” Shen Hao ordered.

“It has reached the twenty-fourth level of Purple Epic level,” Fiora promptly provided an answer.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the five chief officers present did not change much.

As designers of the two fundamental Great Formations, both of which were at Blue Elite level, they had essentially mastered them during this period, with help from the elites of two Affiliated Civilizations and Fiora.

Especially Fiora.

It could even be said that Fiora was the true chief designer of this Great Formation, and the greatest assurance that allowed all the designers to unleash their creativity to the fullest.

It's precisely because of Fiora's assistance that they had a deep understanding of the results they had produced.

“President,” one of them spoke again, “there's another advantage to this plan. Both the Cultivation Path and the Magic Road, as well as any systems related to stars, are extremely profound. As our abilities improve in the future, it's entirely possible to make improvements on the existing foundation. While it's currently at the twenty-fourth level Purple Epic, it may not always remain so.”

“Indeed, that's not bad,” Shen Hao said, nodding in agreement.

Just this sentence alone made the few chief designers in front of him reveal their joy.

This plan was indeed their pride. Although there were other options, this plan surpassed those alternatives in various fields!

Still, it required Shen Hao's approval to truly advance.

Not only because of Shen Hao's current status, but also because many of the core materials were available only within the Level 26 shopping system.

However, Shen Hao naturally wouldn't be stuck without reason.

The results of this set of proposals even made him feel a bit surprised.

Better than he had expected.

To come up with such a plan in just one month's time, there must undoubtedly have been countless efforts behind it as well as numerous moments of inspiration.

At this moment, he was simply carefully examining every single detail.

After all, urban construction was one of the most important development projects for Human Civilization for the next five and a half years.

In fact, this urban construction proposal was not as simple as the previous report by the five individuals.

The description within the document was more detailed.

They divided the cities into three levels: large, medium, and small. Large cities were to have a minimum standard capacity of ten million people. Just these 205 large cities alone would be sufficient to accommodate two billion. Medium-sized cities also had a minimum standard of three million, while small cities were at five hundred thousand.

The actual number of residents these cities could accommodate was far greater than the current population of Human Civilization. It was clear that they had also taken into account the labor force sent by Affiliated Civilizations.

Moreover, each city had its own focus.

Industry, Cultivation, Magic, Alchemy, Nature…

Some cities were even combinations of several different types, and with the cities being relatively spread out, they could also accommodate the development of vast tracts of land.

Whether it was mining, expanding large industrial areas, planting Spiritual Medicine, Magic Potion, breeding Spirit Beasts, Magic Beasts… all of it could be pursued simultaneously.

Even the ground routes between cities had been developed, and coupled with the now vast number of transport vehicles, just looking at the design plans before him, Shen Hao could already envision the flourishing scene after completion.

However, he quickly noticed something special.

“In the cities of three different levels, apart from the differences in area, is there also a difference in Extraordinary Elements?”

“Yes,” a chief responsible person responded, “The larger the area, the greater the population density within a certain area, so large cities are built in the core areas of 'Dragon Veins', while medium and small cities are built in the branch areas. This also forms a relatively healthy upward channel, allowing us to concentrate on protecting a part of the population.”

Shen Hao understood the significance of this design.

Once industrial production was fully upgraded, people would be freed from heavy production work, and then could focus more on cultivating their Extraordinary abilities.

But the Extraordinary Path relied heavily on Talent.

People with average Talent would be allocated to medium and small cities and circulated regularly, to transfer those who were more diligent, or who demonstrated better Talent, into the larger cities.

In the event of an unexpected crisis during the Trial, the larger cities would be the ones to be protected as a priority.

Obviously, such an arrangement could only exhibit a kind of “relative fairness” in the early stages.

Over time, those with access to better resources would grow stronger, and it would become harder for people in medium and small cities to stand out, gradually sealing off the upward channels and forming a class monopoly.

However, in the short term, it indeed would be more active and effective.

Just the act of encouraging people to diligently pursue their Cultivation already had positive effects.

“Let's start the construction according to this plan,” Shen Hao decided in the end.

Every issue has two sides; right now, it was the positive aspect that was more needed, so there was no need to overthink it. As for the future, when problems arose, solutions could be found then.

What's more, the civilization currently had a huge advantage.

That was the existence of Shen Hao.

As the holder of the Emperor Profession, Shen Hao was destined to be tied to the interests of the entire Human Civilization, with no interest group capable of standing above him.

Monopoly?

Shen Hao would suppress any trend of it while it was still nascent!

Not to mention, there were also external crises from the Trials, leaving little room for internal error.

Deciding on the urban construction plan had solved a significant problem.

The projects that would be triggered by it were countless!

Not to mention other aspects, just the construction materials alone could give rise to a new industry – interstellar mining.

The new cities would use a mass of metal materials, and although the resources of the Human Mother Planet were plentiful, the mineral resources on other planets should not be wasted.

After the Trial ended, those civilizations that had declared extinction during the Civilization Trial, their mother planets had not disappeared.

They still existed within the same orbit.

Such opportunities were not to be missed.

In the absence of knowing whether they would disappear after the next Trial began, the best approach was to mine them for all they were worth!
