Before long, a golden figure the size of a palm appeared before Qin Che.

Li Xin!

He rushed over immediately after sensing the spiritual pressure.

More than two months later, Qin Che finally returned.

Li Xin also complained, "You always use this method, and you always scare me. Your spiritual pressure is too strong; the kids can't handle it."

"How have you been these past two months?" Qin Che asked him, frowning.

"It's nothing serious. Apart from a few occasional attacks by ghost soldiers, there's been basically no danger. It's just that our supplies are almost gone. I was planning to take my men back and abandon Bow City for the time being if you can replenish them."

After Li Xin finished speaking,

Li Zhanhuo and his men came forward to pay their respects.

"Minister Li!"

Li Xin nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

When the soldiers saw Li Xin again, they were particularly alarmed by his stubble-covered face and haggard appearance.

The environment here is harsh, after all.

Even the extraordinary are not immune to the mundane.

"We have searched the entire central urban area and collected a considerable amount of heritage."

"The ghost soldiers were all annihilated."

Hearing Li Xin's report, Qin Che was relieved and patted him on the shoulder with a pleased expression: "You have indeed worked hard."

"Are you digging a road?"

Li Xin turned his head to look at a sunken road behind the army, his face full of surprise.

Qin Che nodded: "Only with roads can there be transportation capabilities."

"What a madman! Does he really intend to build Bow City? That will cost countless resources."

On the icy plains, there are no resources.

Building an outpost city here would take a considerable amount of time.

"Yes, didn't I tell you? Don't you believe me now?" Qin Che laughed. "If we want to explore the imperial ruins, roads are essential."

Li Xin said, "You will also need a large number of transportation vehicles. This is no less than the project when the Garden of God was built, and it may take decades. Are you ready?"

"certainly."

Qin Che's expression remained calm.

He had actually done the math carefully.

Although the cabinet has been complaining about being poor.

But if we really want to build Bow City, it's not that we can't afford it.

However, all regions will bear enormous pressure.

Currently, the three special zones—Desert, Garden, and Northern Plains—are fully supplied. The costs of supplying the three special zones are spread across the city, including the consumption of Bow City, the long-term garrison, and the battles against the ghost soldiers.

It should be fine.

Moreover, if Qin Che were to unearth any extremely valuable imperial assets, he would try to monetize them as soon as possible.

These are all investment assets.

It can be used to trade with city-state alliances or international trade associations.

It could even attract the attention of the Mechanicus.

Only then will Leopard Court have a real voice.

They squeezed from a corner of China into the center of the tide of the times.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

With ample labor and the assistance of both the military and civilians, Leopard Court was also continuously transporting supplies.

From the jungle outpost to the cliff top, a straight road appears neatly on the ground.

The road is sunken and wide, and at this moment, many heavy transport vehicles have begun to travel on the ice field.

Upon arriving at the cliffside mountain, a straight staircase leads directly to the sky.

Dozens of external suspended freight elevators were built, and a large number of criminals, exiles, and slaves were assigned here, carrying bags and piling all their supplies into the elevators.

This area has long been under military surveillance, and the level of oversight is quite high.

It can be viewed as a large, open prison with a high degree of punishment.

Anyone who dares to run away will only face death.

Upon reaching the summit, a sunken road, flat and wide, with ancient patterns, leads to the hunter's outpost.

Leopard Court built a freight yard here, which is filled with heavy-duty trucks that Qin Che carried up one by one from the foot of the cliff.

They cannot be transported up via stairs and freight elevators, and splitting them for transport would be too inefficient.

Qin Che spent more than a month at the foot of the mountain, moving these trucks every day, using his extraordinary magical artifacts to transport them to the top of the mountain, and then having them driven into the hunter's outpost.

All supplies will be transported to the Bow City outpost, and the road ahead will be flat.

This greatly reduces transportation time.

Now it only takes about ten days to reach the siege from the jungle outpost.

A round trip takes twenty days.

Thus, Bow City was finally revitalized.

Qin Che also completed their first phase of development plan.

Having encountered an untouchable power in Yujing, Qin Che no longer considered going there.

He believed there must be something good there, but the road was too long and too dangerous.

I'm only at the third stage of transcendence; facing such a powerful opponent, I'm certain to die.

The outcome of the last simulation was already predetermined, so Qin Che certainly wouldn't risk his life.

They just need to properly develop the Bow City ruins and use technology to help them, and they believe they can gradually make the place grow stronger.

The garrison unearthed many valuable artifacts in Gongcheng.

It was all ancient technology, and Qin Che transported it all back and handed it over to the Academy of Sciences for them to study.

We need to slow down from here on out.

Leopard Court needs to digest what they've gained in the Ice Plains over the past few years, and then either monetize it or use it for themselves.

"The cabinet ministers are on their way north. We need to establish a government headquarters in Gongcheng. We need to station troops here, and make sure it has defensive and combat capabilities. It will become the vanguard and front line for us Lingbi people to expand into new territories. We cannot retreat!"

"I believe that within sixty years, the landscape here will undergo tremendous changes."
