——Ding Dong!
——Detecting the host's city-building map...
Xingyue University Town! And its surrounding Chenyueshan Subdistrict, Chenyueshan National Key Scenic Area, and Yuexi Lake Park!
——Ding Dong!
——The total testing area is 421,801.3 mu (≈281.2 square kilometers)
There are a total of 18,721 intelligent animals within the area, eligible to become official residents of Zootopia. Of these, 12,632 are already residents, representing 67% (12,028 of whom truly recognize the host). The remaining intelligent animals are 6,089. Will the host include these remaining intelligent animals as official residents of Zootopia?
——Options:
1. The remaining 6,089 intelligent animals are accepted as official residents. The "Celebrations" achievement for the base city disappears, and the base city's overall score is deducted by 10. The base city's residents' approval of the host drops below 70%, and "Complaint" mode is activated. (Note 1: The Complaint mode will directly affect the stability of residents within the area. Additionally, points for instability factors within the area will be deducted. For each person who disapproves of the host, 0.001 points will be deducted from the base's overall score. Note 2: If the number of such residents within the area exceeds the base's overall score limit, the base city will be immediately destroyed and cease to exist.)
2. Expel the remaining 6,089 intelligent animals from the base city. The base city's "Universal Celebration" achievement will remain, and the base city's overall score will remain unchanged.
(Note: Two different options will result in two different results, please take them seriously.)
Xia Ruanruan pursed her lips, blinking as she looked at the two options above the illustrated guide. Two black and white figures danced back and forth in her mind.
In fact, just as the illustration says, on the surface, 6089 is just a small number. If you calculate it with paper money, it can't even buy one square meter of house.
But now, the small number 6089 represents nearly 6,000 intelligent animals.
Among these numbers, Xia Ruanruan believed that the vast majority were mutant animals, perhaps small mutant animals that were difficult for the mutant dogs, black and white bears to find, such as mutant birds in trees, mutant rats in burrows, etc. Probably only a very small number would be ordinary survivors, or large mutant animals.
Otherwise, after a week of cleaning, Dahei and the others would have found the other party and brought him here to see her.
"If I choose 2, the mutant animals conjured from the illustrated book will definitely be able to find the other party. However, small mutant animals have weak survival abilities. They have been local residents for years. It would be too overbearing for me to drive them away as soon as I arrive..."
What she built was an animal city survival base, not a human city base.
If those with strong killing power insist on attacking other mutant animals and humans, those with bad personalities will naturally be driven away. However, facing these little guys hiding in the corners and hardly daring to show up, Xia Runrun still can't do it.
Xia Ruanruan thought for a moment, then lightly tapped option 1 with her short, chubby index finger. "Although option 1 will lower the overall rating of the entire base, after the base city is upgraded to 2 stars, it is very likely to lower the overall rating of the base city below the passing line. However, there are many ways to improve the overall rating of the base city. There is no need to put all the weight on this one option..."
Besides, Xia Ruanruan also wants to try a new method this time...
The basic requirements for upgrading a 2-star base city are very high. The basic area of the base city alone needs to reach 200,000 acres, which is about 1.333 million square kilometers.
So if you want to restore your original height and upgrade the base city to five stars, the base area of the entire Zootopia must be at least over 20 million square kilometers.
With such a large city area, there must be at least tens of thousands of small animals hiding in every corner.
But she is very busy on weekdays. As a leader of the base, it is impossible for her to come forward and negotiate with every mutant animal.
"First, incorporate these 6,000-plus intelligent animals into your base city. Activate the street broadcasts daily, and have them play my words on a 360-degree loop from morning to night."
"Although I may not necessarily make those little guys hiding in every corner immediately like me, as long as they can understand what I say and don't dislike or attack other residents of the base city, that's enough."
"Besides, it was clearly written in the original illustrations—if a formal resident of the city does anything that threatens the base city, they will automatically become non-residents and be expelled from the base city."
As Xia Ruanruan was thinking, her fingertips gently tapped on option 1.
The ding-dong sound of the illustrated guide rang in my ears again.
——Ding Dong!
Congratulations! The host's Base City (1 Star) has surpassed 5,000 official residents, currently reaching 18,721. The Base City's area has surpassed 200,000 mu (≈133.3 square kilometers), currently reaching 421,801.3 mu (≈281.2 square kilometers), meeting the basic requirements for a Base City star upgrade.
——Ding Dong!
——Congratulations to the host for upgrading the base city from 1 star to 2 stars.
——Ding Dong!
——The increase in the number of residents in the base city has caused the overall residents' recognition of the host to drop below 70%, turning on the "Complaint" mode. When the complaint mode is turned on, the base city's overall score will be reduced by 6.693, and the "Universal Celebration" bonus point of 10 will be cancelled.
——2-star base city, can accommodate 50,000 regular residents. Currently, the base city's infrastructure is relatively crude and inefficient, unable to meet the living needs of 50,000 regular residents. Host, please complete the base city's infrastructure as soon as possible.
——The current comprehensive score of the base city is: 37.214, which has not reached the passing score of the base. Please continue to work hard!
Xia Ruanruan stared at the recent days. The overall score, which had finally reached 89.52, suddenly dropped to a miserable 37.214 with the star upgrade. She wanted to stare at the numbers in the atlas until flowers bloomed.
"I thought the lowest score would be above 50, but I didn't expect it to drop to 37 points all of a sudden." Xia Runrun rubbed her soft little face fiercely, and her lips were so pouty that they looked like they could hang a bottle of oil on them.
I am still 23 points away from the passing score of 60 points, and I don’t know how long it will take me to improve my score by that much.
"However, it seems that the initial construction of the base city requires over 90% approval from residents. However, once construction is successful, if the approval rate is over 70%, the overall score will not be reduced due to resident approval. If the approval rate is over 95%, an additional 10 points can be added to the overall assessment."
——Ding Dong!
——The comprehensive score of the base city is too low. Please improve the seven basic infrastructures of the base city as soon as possible, improve the quality of life of residents, increase residents' recognition, and develop transportation, education, medical care, entertainment, etc. as soon as possible. Only after reaching the passing score at this stage can the base city be upgraded again.
Note: A friendly reminder from the map: Your base city is currently only 2 stars. A 2-star base city can currently accommodate up to 50,000 official residents. Once the number of official residents exceeds 50,000 and the area does not reach the 3-star standard (1 million mu ≈ 666.7 square kilometers), the base city's overall rating will be reduced by a certain percentage.
——Note: The basic requirements for upgrading a 2-star base city to a 3-star base city are: a passing 2-star score, more than 50,000 official residents in the base city, and an area of more than 666.7 square kilometers.
As the illustration shows that the central base was upgraded to 2 stars, the subsequent three-star basic requirements also become apparent. This time the notes are much clearer than the first time.
"The population has suddenly increased tenfold, and the area has increased fivefold... and we have to improve seven areas of infrastructure at the same time, including transportation, education, medical care, entertainment, etc. I have to recruit talent quickly."
Xia Runruan frowned slightly and muttered subconsciously. Ever since she came to this world and got this illustrated book, Xia Runruan found that she liked to mutter more and more, thinking about improving her score every day.
Education is easy to say. Mutated beasts like the Big Black and White Wolf King can help a lot in training other mutant beasts and survivors. According to the illustrations, they can even make residents "special trainers" with the best physical fitness and speed. But just learning to read and write is not enough. These require real humans to do. Entertainment, medical care, etc. require humans even more.
"I also need to find a group of smart mynah birds or parrots to learn the 'animal language translation' job from Little Green. Otherwise, if this continues and the number of residents in the base increases, Little Green alone won't be able to handle it."
If the green-feathered parrot didn't also have thick green hair on its face, Xia Runrun would have suspected that Xiaolu would have big dark circles under his eyes.
Xia Runrun is a man of action. Almost soon after the instructions were given in the atlas, Xia Runrun started scribbling and writing down a lot of requirements in her little notebook.
The school had to be opened, right? The main traffic arteries within the base city had to be cleared, right? And televisions had to be installed? To boost everyone's enthusiasm and motivation, she thought she could even hold a spring pre-show pep rally. She also had to recruit a group of motivated students and capable, successful individuals...
One by one, Xia Runrun became more and more enthusiastic in practicing on the small notebook.
Xiaobai woke up, opened his round cat eyes, jumped onto the table and squatted down.
Although mental power can mutate and condense into a physical entity, as a student who had not yet graduated from university before the virus outbreak, Chu Hang could actually not help Xia Runrun in many ways. At most, he could only occasionally add a few words and offer suggestions.
Building a base city was something both of them were forced to do, and it was the first time.
…
Almost all the survivors in the shelter had a vague feeling about the construction of the base city, but they found it hard to believe and were not sure.
There was no way. Ordinary survivors actually wanted to build a base city like the kind only state officials could afford to build? Who would believe that? And the leader didn't choose a good location surrounded by mountains on three sides, safe from ferocious beasts and mutants, but instead chose Xingyue City, a place with a river on one side and open space on three sides. Wasn't that a joke?
But is it necessary for a small shelter to occupy such a large area?
Even people with discerning eyes have discovered that these mutant beasts will automatically clear outward from the center of the university town, expanding the land area.
The daily changes in the entire shelter are all visible to the naked eye.
From the expansion of the shelter to the clearing of mutated trees, weeds and debris on the streets, as well as the collapsed buildings in the entire university town and even the surrounding areas, none of these things look like they are just for the construction of a shelter.
However, no one dared to ask or speak, they just buried their heads in work, as if they wanted to burn every drop of sweat and blood in their bodies on this land.
Although no one knew what methods their leader had used to get so many powerful mutant animals to work for her, everyone felt a little magical every time they saw those huge mutant lions, mutant wolves, and other big guys who were as tall as three or four stories, diligently helping with the work, as well-behaved as kittens before the virus broke out.
But everyone is full of energy. As soon as they open their eyes every morning, they can imagine how safe and beautiful the future shelter will be after its successful construction. No one will have to live in fear or live in small, dark basements. They can see the first ray of sunlight outside the window every day, and there are powerful mutant beast patrols to protect their safety.
As time went on, the entire shelter changed rapidly.
In addition, all the people and mutant beasts put in their best efforts, and everyone quickly adapted to the pace of life in the shelter with the launch of the points system.
The survivors in the shelter didn't know where their leader had brought back a set of printing machines from. He re-carved a new points template and quickly printed out red and green points tickets. The points tickets were the same size as the banknotes before the virus broke out, but the pictures on them had turned into mutant animals. The one-point ticket was a group of beautiful gray mice, and the five-point ticket was three huge mutant rabbits with big buck teeth. One of the rabbits seemed to have a piece of its ear cut off, and it looked a little incomplete, but its pair of red eyes were bright and beautiful.
There are also 10 points, 20 points, 50 points, 100 points, and 500 points, which respectively represent a mutant lion, a mutant wolf, a mutant black and white bear, and a mutant dog. As for the last 500-point ticket, everyone thought it would be a portrait of the leader of the shelter, but unexpectedly it was a big orange cat face with the five big words "Zootopia Survival Base" clearly written under the cat's head.
It was then that all the survivors were sure that the leader of their shelter really wanted to build a small unofficial shelter into a large base city!
Because of the weather, all the survivors worked even harder.
They also want to contribute their own strength to their base city!
As the area of the Zootopia survival base expanded, its reputation spread.
During this period, many survivors heard the news and rushed to join the base.
The base city was also re-divided into three accommodation areas, namely the Xingyue University campus in the southeast, the Xingkong University in the north, and the Chenxi University in the west.
The survivors were also assigned to appropriate work teams.
Early in the morning, shortly after dawn, the survivors took their lunch box points tickets and ran quickly to the cafeteria in the dormitory area.
After eating bowl after bowl of hot and sour bamboo shoot vermicelli, everyone felt warm.
The team leaders of each work team quickly shouted to their teams to get to work quickly.
As the base city is in its early stages of development, various infrastructure projects are essential. Even though everyone has done a lot of work in the past month or so, there is still a lot left to do.
Just restoring power to the entire base city's current map area, installing loudspeakers, and broadcasting in 360 degrees took a lot of human resources and time.
A middle-aged man, about thirty or forty years old, with muscular body and a tanned body, put down his bowl and chopsticks, washed them, and stuffed them into the tableware cabinet in the cafeteria. He waved his big hand and shouted to his team:
"Get to work, get to work... Today, our Engineering Team 7 is assigned the task of digging a fish pond! After eating, quickly clean up your dishes and don't drag your feet, otherwise you'll waste everyone's time!"
In the cafeteria, the other survivors from Team 7 quickly ate the vermicelli noodles from their lunch boxes, wiped their mouths, washed their bowls, and hurried out. As they walked, they laughed and talked, "Our boss is really hardworking. Maybe this month we can actually be recognized as active members of the engineering team."
"If you're not active at work, there's something wrong with your thinking!"
The middle-aged man listened to other team members talking about him, and immediately laughed and cursed them as little bastards, and then he once again instructed the guys about what they had to do today.
"The day before yesterday, Boss Huang and his crew dragged back two excavators from some construction site. They were just repaired yesterday, and today we've been assigned one. You can't just pile the dirt you dig up randomly. You have to fill those pits in designated locations! I don't want the supervisors to deduct points from us if they come by today!"
As the number of carnivores in the shelter increases, the number of fish ponds has expanded. It has gradually expanded from the original 5 to the current 11. The 12th fish pond that Engineering Team 7 will dig today is the 12th fish pond in the base. These fish ponds are lined up not far from the river, which is convenient for drainage to fill the fish ponds, and it is also convenient to fill the excavated soil and stones on the river bank to prevent heavy rain and mountain floods.
Since they were unable to use large amounts of cement, sand and gravel to build a dam, they could only use this simplest working method.
Watching the people from the engineering team leave the cafeteria, a young woman with short hair began to call out to her team members.
"Cleaning Group 3! Cleaning Group 3! Today we're assigned to bathe 6 lions, 3 big and 3 small. The big ones will be in a group of 10 people, and the small ones will be in groups of 3-5 people depending on their size. Be sure to wash each lion thoroughly. The bathing brush and towel must be clean. Boil the water for half an hour. You absolutely cannot let the lions be contaminated with the smell of other mutant dogs. Mr. Xiaolu said that if there is any smell, anyone who privately complains will not be rewarded with points!"
"Hey! Sister Hua, don't worry. We'll keep them safe and won't let the lions get stained with the scent of other mutant dogs. I boiled and dried those towels the day before yesterday!"
Following the young woman's shout, the women in the third cleaning group stood up one by one, put away their bowls and chopsticks, and quickly followed the young woman out of the cafeteria.
Soon, the entire cafeteria was filled with the captain's calls for work.
The base city seemed to come alive at this moment.
