Chapter 571: 569: Holy Dragon Demiplane Development Project (Subscription Request)
Lion Manor, second floor, study.
Butler Hoover directed the butler to clear the center of the room, and then brought in a few specially made table legs and fixed them in the corresponding positions.
Julius Martin then took out the carefully crafted sand table from the dimensional bag, and under the control of levitation, assembled it precisely according to different positions.
After just a moment, a sand table was fixed. Luo Yi looked up and found that the terrain inside was like a duck egg placed horizontally.
It is wide on the left and right, narrow at both ends, and there is a river running through the middle to the right.
The entire terrain is high on all sides and low in the middle, with a large lake in the middle.
There were forests on all sides, most of which were dotted with dead branches and leaves, showing that they had been drained of life.
In the previous battle, the reason why no legend died was because the tree shepherd Groot supported the vitality of the entire forest.
In the forest, there are occasionally cities and ancient castles as embellishments, but there are not many of them.
After the assembly was completed, Julius Martin took out piles of detailed information from his dimensional bag.
Although it is only a simple binding, the thickness represents the results of their work.
Butler Hoover then arranged for the butler to bring two chairs and place them in front of the sand table.
Roy sat down and waved his hand for Julius Martin to sit down as well. He then picked up the thick document and quickly flipped through it.
A blue light flashed in his eyes, and a lot of information was quickly collected, sorted, and the key content was listed by Deep Blue.
At the same time, Luo Yi also spoke up and said, "Tell me about the results of the survey."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Julius Martin stood up again, his expression somewhat nervous.
In fact, before, when he met Luo Yi, there were not so many rules. He could even treat him with a normal attitude and communicate with him like old friends.
Although Luo Yi is an earl, he is also a top student from the empire and has psychological advantages.
But after inspecting the battlefield of Blood Moon Castle, seeing the ruins that looked like the end of the world, and the church's act of "canonization", he felt that the majesty of his boss was even more solemn.
It was so thick that it made him breathless.
Fortunately, he was extremely confident in his expertise. Standing in front of the sand table, he took a few deep breaths and spoke steadily:
"According to our investigation, the Blood Moon Forest demiplane has a total area of 140,000 square kilometers.
The surrounding areas are mountainous, while the center is mostly low-lying plains, with obvious traces of land plates joining together. It is speculated that this was intentionally shaped by the dark god Mara."
"However, although it is spliced together, as a kingdom of God, it has been cultivated and reinforced by divine power, and its carrying capacity is not bad."
"According to the agreement between you and His Majesty Karen, with that river as the boundary, the territory we occupy is in the northeast region, approximately 96,000 square kilometers."
"The resources in the territory are quite abundant. I have discovered rich metal deposits underground, including gold, silver, copper, iron, and a lot of associated minerals.
Even magic stone veins and various magical materials were discovered.
It's likely that the Dark God was cultivating it intentionally, and then encountered someone like Grand Duke Toledo who didn't know how to do it, so he didn't mine it on a large scale at all."
"Some of the current mineral veins are still being mined by the gray dwarves of the dark race. This is basically the most primitive mining method, supplying the needs of the demiplane, and the mined amount is less than one percent."
“However, my advice is that these are non-renewable resources and their development needs to be cautious.
Therefore, it is best to establish a complete external supply chain."
Luo Yi nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. Tell me more."
"According to our statistics, there are 650,000 humans in the Blood Moon Forest half-plane, and about 100,000 of them are children under the age of twelve.
The rest are all young and strong adults under the age of 30, with a male to female ratio of about 4 to 6. Besides reproduction and labor, their purpose is to serve as meat."
"In order to facilitate management, the vampires selected a group of people, taught them some basic knowledge, and used strict laws to manage the city.
Whenever something went wrong, people would be beaten and killed, and death was a common occurrence.
Moreover, even these managers cannot live past the age of thirty. This is the life and death line set by the blood clan for them.
This has led them to believe that the human race's lifespan is only thirty years."
"Of course, if before this, I had won the favor of a certain vampire, received the First Embrace, and became a vampire, it would be different."
"In fact, the entire Toledo clan will release a number of quotas every year for these managers to compete.
As a result, these people have maintained a high degree of loyalty and, even now, are a source of trouble among the captives."
Luo Yi asked: "You want to ask me how to deal with it, right?"
"Yes!"
"Clean it up. These people are treacherous and are no longer human. Don't worry about this matter. I will give orders to the guards."
"That's good."
Julius Martin paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the other dark races, there are still about 300,000 of them left from all the tribes combined.
The good news is that they suffered heavy casualties in the previous war, and most of the powerful warriors above level 4 have been killed, so they are not a big threat."
"What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is, I don't think the Cullens are good at management, and their rule over these dark races is sloppy.
If we lose the food source of humans and livestock, I'm afraid there will be big problems in the future."
Having said this, Julius Martin organized his words again before continuing, "The social system of the Blood Moon Forest demiplane is, generally speaking, still in the tribal era.
Judging from the historical process of the Old World, it can be traced back to the coexistence of hundreds of races, the end of the Dark Ages, and the period of rule by fear and killing.
To be honest, we are really lagging behind!"
“I don’t know if it was Grand Duke Toledo’s intention, or if all the vampires yearn for that era.
In short, it is not conducive to governance, and even less conducive to management."
“My idea is to consciously accept some talented dark races, such as the gray dwarves, who are really good at mining.
There are also fallen angels. If they can be subdued, their powerful strength can become a helping hand for the Raymond family.
Tieflings' command, combat, and training abilities are second to none."
"Of course, this is up to Your Majesty to make the final decision, and we must also find a way to gain the support of Grand Duke Karen."
"That's a later story. Is there anything else?"
"Then let me talk about the economy..."
You have to admit that professionalism is professionalism. Julius Martin's exploration of the demiplane was really quite detailed, from geography to population composition, from social system to economic culture.
He even had a thorough understanding of the situation in the Dukedom of Karen.
Luo Yi listened, and combined with the information, he had a complete outline and understanding of this demiplane.
Until one moment, he suddenly said: "Julius Martin, then tell me how to develop and build it specifically?"
"this……"
"Don't tell me you don't have any ideas. If you do, you're not a qualified designer."
"Hehe, I do have some ideas."
Julius Martin smiled and took out a baton, saying, "When constructing a demiplane, the most important thing in the early stages is the access roads.
The interplanar portal needs to be expanded. I mean, a railway should be built to connect directly to the demiplane."
Luo Yi also stood up and said, "Be more open-minded. The East City Military Camp no longer needs to undertake training tasks. It can be directly expanded into a large interdimensional railway station.
The portals will be opened as wide as possible and kept operational year-round, and more railways will be built to ensure unimpeded access."
Julius Martin pointed to an asphalt road built in the forest and said, "This road is very well built and is located in the center of the demiplane.
What I mean is to expand the existing military buildings to form a city with different functions, and then develop it outwards from this core."
Luo Yi: "The ambition should be bigger, bigger, and enough cities and railways should be planned, connecting the north and south, and running through the east and west.
In the future, this will be the core of the Raymond family, and no investment is too much."
Julius Martin: "Also, the original human race is the best labor force, young and strong, but we need to arrange education first and popularize basic knowledge.
My idea is to build a few more basic schools and let them go to school first.
For those who are older, it is best to learn while practicing, so that they can grow quickly and be competent for most basic work."
Luo Yi continued, "I will not only build primary schools, but also middle schools and universities. I will not only train mechanics, but also magicians and warriors. I will open different majors and cultivate more talents.
How about starting with 300 primary schools, 30 middle schools, and three top universities?"
"That's great, but what about the teaching staff?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Coincidentally, a lot of talented people have come in recently."
“And then there’s the demiplane’s defense mechanism.
Although the demiplane barrier is very strong, it is not the real main material plane after all. If you really encounter a strong enemy, it will be difficult to defend against it.
Throughout history, countless demiplanes have disappeared just like that.
So, what I mean is that placing nine Mage Towers can form a synergistic effect, allowing us to attack from outside the plane and carry out ultra-long-range attacks."
"Aren't nine a little too few? Let's start with eighteen. It would be best if each tower had a legendary mage in charge, so that it can create a deterrent effect.
There's also the Grand Duchy of Karen. They need to build up a defense there, too. Otherwise, we alone won't be able to handle it."
"Will Grand Duke Karen agree?"
"I'm the one who's going to talk about this. Let's talk about it first and then we'll talk!"
"Also, regarding urban construction and the accompanying factories, how many do you think should be built first?"
"Let's expand the nine cities along the asphalt road first. The main thing is to allocate different functions and build corresponding industrial zones."
"Okay, I understand."
The discussion lasted a whole day, and the two even had their meal in this study.
Because there was so much content, Julius Martin took out a pen and paper and kept taking notes.
Until the end, when it was getting dark, Luo Yi finally spoke: "That's about it. You should prepare and come up with a practical and feasible plan for the construction of the demiplane.
Don't worry about the funding issue. Flowers are not short of money right now. I'll handle the aspects you can't coordinate."
Julius Martin nodded. Even he couldn't help but say, "This is a truly massive project!"
"Once it's built, you'll truly be remembered in history."
Julius Martin nodded, as if thinking of something, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, don't you think that the name 'Blood Moon Forest' is not appropriate now?"
"That's true!"
Luo Yi tilted his head and thought for a moment before making a decision: "My title is 'Holy Dragon Knight', so this demiplane should be named 'Holy Dragon'!"
"The Holy Dragon Demiplane, then this demiplane construction is codenamed the Holy Dragon Demiplane Development Project. What do you think?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty said it's a good name, so it must be a good name!"
