After reading the content, Feng Qi felt that among the ten proposals, Ji He's proposal was the best.

The performance of the other nine people was also very good.

They all gave proposals that were relatively close to Ji He's.

There was even one person who proposed an implementation idea similar to Ji He's on the issue of currency reform.

But Ji He gave two proposals. He not only solved the problem of currency reform, but also mentioned the problems of wealth redistribution and population growth.

After reading it, Feng Qi stood up and left the room.

The next day, the highest meeting of Xingcheng was held.

Each of the highest decision-makers in Xingcheng held ten proposals in his hand and was checking them.

About half an hour later, Feng Qi, who was standing on the main seat, stood up, glanced at the people present, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's start voting."

Hearing Feng Qi's words, the decision-makers of Xingcheng present picked up the flat-panel display in front of them and clicked to enter the voting interface.

The interface showed the ten people who were pre-selected this time, as well as their photos. The decision-makers could vote for their favorite pre-selected candidates by clicking to confirm the vote.

After the voting ended, the tablet in Feng Qi's hand showed a comparison of the number of votes.

Seeing that Ji He ranked first, Feng Qi was not surprised at all.

Everyone saw Ji He's excellence.

But what surprised him was that Ji He got all the votes.

There was no secret operation in this vote, but the other nine people also made a lot of contributions to the development of Xingcheng. Some of them were even disciples of the current decision-makers.

But their teachers did not vote for their students, but voted for Ji He.

Looking up, Feng Qi's eyes swept over everyone present, and finally focused on Ji He, then put down the tablet in his hand and said:

"This vote is over, Ji He has been selected into the highest decision-making level of Xingcheng."

Hearing Feng Qi announce the results, there was warm applause, including the nine losers who competed with Ji He, who also applauded and blessed.

In this modern society dominated by ability, those elderly people may regret their failure to be elected, but they understand that personal ability is far more important than age, and Ji He's future is limitless in their eyes.

When Ji He walked onto the podium, Feng Qi personally awarded him a space bracelet and a dawn medal symbolizing the highest power of mankind.

Feng Qi then used his consciousness to connect to the Star City database and modified Ji He's identity permissions.

He upgraded Ji He's original A-level permissions to allow him to access all the contents of the Star City database, and to have the authority to mobilize the military and all research institutes in Star City to cooperate.

Finally, Ji He officially joined the Star City Supreme Council amid applause.

A new star of the era is rising at this moment.

...

Dawn 345.

This year, a major event happened to the Silver Moon Clan.

The Silver Moon Clan, which originally could only rely on the human race to transport resources, officially began the construction of the Silver Moon Supply Zone.

The specific location of the supply zone is 50 kilometers east of the Silver Moon Clan.

This is a milestone event for the Silver Moon Clan, indicating that the Silver Moon Clan will have its own resource acquisition channels.

But everything is difficult at the beginning.

In order to ensure the smooth expansion of the Silver Moon Supply Zone, the Silver Moon Clan invited the human race war group to join the Silver Moon Supply Zone.

Feng Qi did not refuse this proposal.

The human race can no longer meet the growth needs with only the resource channels of the Star City West Supply Zone, and needs to set up another supply zone. It just so happens

that the supply area of ​​the Silver Moon tribe can be used for transition.

At the same time, the second chief of the Silver Moon tribe clearly stated that as long as the resources obtained by the human race war group in the supply area, no profit will be extracted, and all will be transported back to Star City through the track connecting to Star City.

This is also the main reason why Feng Qi is willing to agree to the request of the chief of the Silver Moon tribe.

Although it is an alliance, the division of interests needs to be clear. He can't let human warriors risk their lives to work for the Silver Moon tribe for free.

As for the establishment of a new supply area, Feng Qi first thought of the North Supply Area.

But this sacrifice line is still in the stage of rapid development. Using the human race as the main force to launch a war against the Sky-Splitting God Clan will inevitably seriously affect the development speed of the human race. He will not consider going to war against the Sky-Splitting God Clan for the time being.

Now the West Supply Area of ​​Star City is being expanded. The east belongs to the Silver Moon Clan, and the north is occupied by the Sky-Splitting God Clan.

The only option left is to open the South Supply Area of ​​Star City.

This is a development project that has never been seen in the previous timeline.

The reason why the South Supply Area of ​​Star City has never been opened up is that there is an uncultivated forest to the south of Star City, and behind it is the endless South China Sea.

Star City has never encountered the domain forces attacking from the ocean.

If Star City wants to open up the South Supply Area, it must build a huge navy.

This domain Star City has never been exposed to since its development.

But Feng Qi decided on this timeline to officially open up the South Supply Area of ​​Star City and launch a resource plundering war against the domain forces entrenched in the South China Sea.

He has made detailed plans for the specific plan.

The first problem to be solved is not how to build the South Supply Area, but how the Star City warriors should fight in the ocean and what weapons and equipment should be equipped for naval warfare.

Feng Qi has thought about these problems in detail.

The first thing he thought of was the sea building he saw in the Black Sea Domain Field when he was on the God Challenge Road that year, which can also be called a special warship.

The sea building is very distinctive. It is made of the body remains of the water-attributed domain beast as the main material, and has the function of swallowing flesh and blood to grow.

It is said to be a building, but it is more like a puppet creature made of flesh and blood.

This type of offshore structure can also carry a large number of weapons, which have extremely strong destructive power and endurance in naval battles.

(A small tip for Yidaozhan: related content is in Chapter 492, Black Sea Trip.)

If humans can create this type of special weapon, they will not be afraid of any challenge from life in the ocean.

To make the construction of the southern supply area of ​​Star City smoother, Feng Qi ordered the messengers in Destiny City to start collecting relevant information, and finally found several ethnic forces with the ability to build such offshore buildings through intermediary traders.

Next, Feng Qi adopted a model similar to that of Jihe.

When Jihe was developing the spiritual beast growth system, because the human race did not have the corresponding technology, it was necessary to import finished products from Destiny City first, and then study the finished products to explore a spiritual beast cultivation and growth system belonging to humans.

Feng Qi's choice was the same.

The first thing he considered was to use the technology in Destiny City to build the first offshore building, and then study the finished product technology, and gradually develop a marine building construction system belonging to humans.

The following year.

Star City connected with three ethnic groups with extremely strong forging skills and two material suppliers.

After the forging plan was determined, Feng Qi spent 80 million to buy a batch of marine beast wreckage from two material merchants.

After handing over these wreckages to the three forging forces, Feng Qi began to wait for the appearance of the finished product.

After waiting for two months, the finished parts were sent back to Star City one by one by the Destiny Messenger Merchant.

…

That day, Feng Qi brought a large number of staff from the Psychic Technology Department and took a special plane to the coast south of Xingcheng.

There is no industrial pollution here, and the nearby plants grow particularly lush. The white sand beach collides with the undulating waves, making a "rustling" sound, and there are seabirds flying in the sky with the wind. After

getting off the plane, Feng Qi began to wait.

A few minutes later, several transport planes arrived and parked at the beach.

After the plane door opened, soldiers in military uniforms quickly gathered and lined up at the coast. Then a middle-aged military man trotted to Feng Qi, stood upright, saluted Feng Qi, and said:

"Mr. Feng, all the personnel are in place, please give instructions."

"Cooperate with the staff of the Psychic Research Institute to start assembling, and unload the goods first."

Hearing Feng Qi's instructions, the middle-aged man nodded solemnly, then returned to the military soldiers in line and began to direct the unloading.

Soon the beach was filled with various huge engineering parts with spiritual light.

The design drawings were in the hands of the staff of the Psychic Research Institute. With the cooperation of the military, they began to assemble the first offshore building of mankind on the beach.

The assembly process was not fast. The parts made of the bones of fierce beasts were very heavy and required the cooperation of several soldiers to barely lift them.

When the sun set, the lights of the transport plane were turned on and the assembly continued. When

the time came to the next morning, the sea was filled with thick fog and the assembly of the offshore building was finally completed.

What appeared in front of Feng Qi was a huge ship.

It was 687 meters long and 487 meters wide. The bow was a huge and ferocious skull of a fierce beast.

Feng Qi took Xiao You and followed the staff of the Psychic Research Institute to board the deck of the offshore building. The control system inside was a consciousness crystal, which could directly control all the functions of the offshore building by docking consciousness.

Feng Qi came to the consciousness crystal at this time and pressed his right hand on the consciousness crystal.

Suddenly he found that his body seemed to have been extended and connected to the huge offshore building.

Under the guidance of consciousness, the energy crystals embedded in the formation at the bottom of the building lit up one after another, and the surging energy rushed to the hull.

The huge offshore building's energy spewed slowly towards the sea surface.

During this period, the staff of the Psychic Research Institute began to wander on the offshore building and record relevant data.

The building entered the water, creating waves and continued to sail towards the end of the sea.

The data recorded by the staff of the Psychic Research Institute kept appearing on the virtual panel in front of Feng Qi.

Displacement 120,000 tons, normal power supply speed 58 knots, full power supply speed 132 knots...

After traveling a distance on the sea, Feng Qi's mind flashed, and the huge offshore building slowly dived into the water.

A layer of transparent energy protection shield rose from the hull to prevent seawater from backflowing.

Next, the offshore building changed to a submarine stealth mode.

Feng Qi looked up and saw a layer of transparent white energy barrier to isolate the seawater. Looking around, he could also see the frightened sea fish swimming outside the energy barrier.

After the short test, Feng Qi controlled the offshore building to float to the surface of the sea.

Next, he decided to test the combat capability of the offshore building.

Although the current offshore building has not yet been equipped with various naval warfare weapons, the building itself has some capabilities that can be used.

In a flash, the bow of the offshore building glowed.

The huge beast head slowly opened its mouth, and energy surged into the mouth of the beast head.

Roar!

The waves were surging, and an energy beam cannon pierced through the sea and swept straight forward. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from sight, splitting a tunnel in the sea that continued to spread to both sides, and the offshore building sank.

Boom!

When the waves rolled up on both sides, the offshore building was like sitting on a spring bed, lifted up high, and then collided heavily with the sea surface.

But such a collision did not cause any damage to the offshore building.

At the same time, Feng Qi found that the offshore building suddenly conveyed a kind of desire, as if it was very eager for the energy fluctuations dissipated by some substance in front.

This made Feng Qi very curious, and he immediately drove the offshore building towards the target direction.

When he arrived at the destination, Feng Qi did not see any creatures, but only saw a large piece of diluted blood in the sea surging with the waves.

This was obviously left by the large marine creatures killed when the offshore building released the energy beam cannon just now. The flesh and blood had long dissipated, leaving only a large piece of blood.

It was obviously the blood that the offshore building wanted to devour.

Feng Qi's thoughts flashed, and the offshore structure released suction, pulling the blood on the sea surface towards the offshore structure. After contacting the hull, the blood seeped into the interior of the offshore structure, and the blood refining array inside was activated, extracting the blood energy and flowing it into the hull. Suddenly,

the surface of the hull briefly glowed red, which was fleeting.

Feng Qi, who was connected to the consciousness of the offshore structure, clearly felt that after the hull absorbed the blood of the marine life, the hull structure had undergone a slight change, and it seemed that the hull had become harder.

This is exactly the devouring growth function of the offshore building.

The offshore building is essentially a flesh and blood puppet made up of the remains of multiple beasts, which can devour life blood to strengthen its body strength.

This is essentially an evolution.

It can be imagined that as the marine building devours more and more biological blood in the future, the strength of the hull will become higher and higher, including the sailing speed, the efficiency of energy operation, and other capabilities will be improved.

This is also one of the reasons why Feng Qi is very interested in this special marine combat tool.

It can grow with the development of human civilization.

The intensity of the battlefield in the future is getting higher and higher, and the strength of the offshore building will also grow with the killing and gradually adapt to the future battlefield.

This is just one of the functions of the offshore building.

After the offshore building is destroyed, it cannot be repaired with external materials. The assembled offshore building has been completely integrated. After being destroyed, it can only recover by devouring flesh and blood.

Just like humans are injured in battle and need to restore the injured body by replenishing energy and nutrition.

Driving the offshore building, Feng Qi slaughtered the marine life along the way, allowing the offshore building to devour a lot of blood.

Back to the coast, Feng Qi learned from the test feedback of the staff of the Psychic Research Institute that the hull strength of the marine structure was increased by 0.124% after devouring a large amount of flesh and blood during this voyage.

After the test, Feng Qi made a decision in his heart.

He officially started the research on the construction of marine structures and invested manpower to start the construction project of the southern supply area of ​​Star City.

The area where Star City is located will be called the Barren Land in the future. It is an area with relatively scarce resources. Expanding to the sea is one of the necessary paths for the growth of the human race in Feng Qi's eyes.

Taking this timeline as the starting point, the sea expansion of the human race officially began.

...

After returning to Star City, Feng Qi began to plan the construction project of the southern supply area of ​​Star City, and at the same time crossed out the name of the marine structure on the document, collectively referred to as: Devouring Ship.

Feng Qi named the first marine structure of the human race docked on the coast the Devouring Ship-Dragon Head.

Next, the staff of the Psychic Research Institute will conduct research on the "Dragon Head", analyze and obtain the manufacturing technology, and strive to build the first devouring warship of the human race as soon as possible.

But it is obviously unrealistic to master this technology in a short period of time.

This is a field that the human race has never touched.

The reason why marine buildings need to be built with beast wreckage is not only to obtain the beast's flesh and blood swallowing growth ability, but also the swallowing warships composed of multiple beast wreckages will have the ability characteristics of different water-attributed beasts.

For example, the beast built with the Ice Sea God Tail beast can release the power of extreme cold and instantly freeze a sea area.

Another example is that one of the main materials of the first swallowing ship of the human race is the ghost head dragon, which can aggregate the energy of the hull and spit out aggregated energy beam cannons.

Different beast wreckages can give the swallowing ship different sea combat talents.

The technology of extracting the abilities of the beast wreckage before death has never been touched by the human race. This time, it was mainly with the help of the forging clan of Destiny City that the beast's abilities were extracted.

But the human race also paid a considerable price for this. It cost a total of 130 million blood stones to build the dragon head.

The cost of purchasing materials is 80 million, and this expenditure cannot be avoided. Even if the human race has mastered the relevant forging technology, the purchase of beast wreckage in the future will still have to rely on imports from Destiny City.

After all, beast wreckage is not a technology and cannot be acquired through learning.

Feng Qi's idea is very simple. The cost of special resources cannot be avoided, but the technology must be mastered by the human race itself. In the future, the construction of hundreds of devouring ships will save a huge amount of expenses, and only the material cost needs to be paid.

The most important thing is that technology can bring to the next timeline, making the development of the next timeline faster.

Feng Qi listed the expansion and development of the sea area as the core key project of the next 100-year development plan.

After the construction of the South Supply Area of ​​Star City is completed, Star City will officially move towards the sea area and strive to open up a channel for obtaining sea resources as soon as possible.

At the same time, in order to better develop the South Supply Area of ​​Star City, Feng Qi decided to open a large number of professional courses related to the ocean to cultivate future technical and combat talents.

...

Dawn 349.

On this day, Feng Qi was looking through the reports sent by various institutions in Star City in his office.

Among them, the projects he focused on were the technical analysis of the devouring ship, the preliminary construction test, and the construction progress of the South Supply Area.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table vibrated, and the ringtone dubbed by Xiao You suddenly sounded:

"Hello, this is Xiao You, are you the boss? I want to invite you to have barbecue, I know you will definitely agree..."

Picking up the phone, the caller is the head of the Destiny Messenger Department.

Feng Qi answered the phone, and a gentle female voice sounded in his ear:

"Mr. Feng, according to the latest feedback from the messengers in Destiny City, they have found the traces of the Shadow City Lord. What instructions do you have next?"

Hearing this, Feng Qi was silent for a while and then a smile appeared on his face.

After waiting for hundreds of years, he finally waited for this big fat fish to show up. Recently,

the development of Star City has accelerated, especially the construction of the South Supply Zone, and the development and construction of the Devouring Ship, which consumes huge resources.

The current customer orders of Equipment Black Hole can only alleviate, but cannot completely solve the problem of expensive and scarce resources in the early development of Star City.

He has been waiting for this big fat fish, the Shadow City Lord, for a long time.

As long as he can eat this big fat fish, Star City will usher in a golden development period that will last for hundreds of years.
