Chapter 572 Development Implementation
Silk finally agreed to Zhou Xu's arrangement.
Although he is still young, what their king said makes sense. If they want their group of grassland elves to continue better, they themselves must work harder.
"Then it's settled. I'll have Li Ce dispatch a troop to take over your shift. You've worked hard during this period. After you complete the handover, I'll give you two months off. Come back and report to me after two months."
"yes!"
After making simple arrangements for Silk and the others, Zhou Xu skillfully rode the velociraptor back to the temple.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
After not seeing him for a month, there wasn't much change in Bo Levin.
"Did anything happen while I was away?"
"Reporting to the king, nothing happened."
As of now, the biggest trouble in the New World is the ratmen. As long as nothing serious happens with the ratmen, basically nothing will happen here.
After briefly understanding the situation, Zhou Xu changed the subject and began to talk about some subsequent developments here.
In addition to the establishment of a brick-burning factory, of course, it also includes the upgrading and even reconstruction of many facilities.
In the past month, he has successfully transferred Lizardman craftsmen from the New World, and exchanged them with the Construction Engineering Department of the Old World for several experienced masters who can lead the project here.
These old masters just need to parachute in directly. The lizardmen will obey their orders and will not have any objections as long as it is an order given by them.
The branch of the Construction Engineering Department in the New World was successfully established with just a few words from Zhou Xu.
"There is no time for you to rest. Your first job here is to build a mine!"
There is a sharp crystal mine near the Lizardman’s territory. When Zhou Xu brought the miners here, he reinforced the mine for the convenience of mining.
But compared with the mining sites in their Great Zhou, the scale and facilities here are obviously not good enough.
Now that the engineering team has arrived, Zhou Xu will naturally upgrade them to further improve the miners' work efficiency.
After receiving the order, the Lizardman craftsmen had a very clear attitude: we will just do whatever you say.
This really saved the experienced masters who were parachuted in a lot of trouble.
After a brief adjustment, a series of work was gradually carried out.
During this period, Zhou Xu also took another walk around the mine.
He had only been to this mine two or three times, so it was clear that he was not very familiar with the area.
After going around in circles, Zhou Xu fell into a little dilemma.
As early as when he was in Black Moon Village, he had already been thinking about where exactly to build the brick factory.
From a convenience perspective, building it directly next to the mine would definitely be the easiest option.
However, this will require large-scale clearing of vegetation to free up space, and it is estimated that it will also have a certain impact on the surrounding environment.
In addition, once the mine and brick factory are established here, it is estimated that they will restrict each other's expansion.
There is no way to set up the mine here because the ore vein is here, but Zhou Xu had not thought about whether to set up the brick factory here. Now, after another round of thinking, he has basically made up his mind.
"It's decided. The brick factory will be set up in the original centaur tribe's territory!"
Ever since the Centaurs migrated to the prairie, the land has been vacant.
Later, he recruited the Lizardmen, and the land over there naturally became his own territory. He also went to inspect the environment.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, that place is indeed a good one. Not only is the terrain flat, there is also water nearby, which ensures survival. The only inconvenient thing is probably that some raw materials for making bricks have to be transported from the mine here.
However, with monitor lizards transporting goods, this problem is actually not that difficult to solve.
From a long-term perspective, this choice is definitely the right one.
At this moment, Zhou Xu had already made up his mind. He wanted to develop the land where the Centaurs originally lived into an industrial plant area like Salt Lake Village.
All the similar places here can just gather over there.
After making this decision, Zhou Xu was not vague at all. He immediately took some people and moved over there.
With a mount, it didn't take much time to get there.
"This is it. Put your things down first and look around. I also need to make some plans and think about it."
Since he had made up his mind to develop this place into an industrial plant like Salt Lake Village, before building the first factory, he had to do a good job of land planning and make full use of the relatively limited space in the area.
For Zhou Xu, who already had similar planning experience, this was not a difficult task.
After basically confirming the whole circle, Zhou Xu spread out a piece of animal skin paper, picked up a charcoal pencil that was easy to erase, and started drawing.
It was quite quick to draw a sketch. After roughly demarcating the area, Zhou Xu called the old craftsman who was accompanying him over.
"Let's take a look. This is the general plan for the vacant land here. The brick factory will be built at this location."
Comparing the planning sketch drawn by their king and looking at the vacant land in front of him, the old master had a basic idea in his mind.
"Please rest assured, my king. I have figured it out."
"Okay, then the construction of the brick factory will be left to you."
Building a brick kiln is only the first step. Only after building the brick kiln can they start making bricks. Only with bricks can they build the city wall on the southern border. At this stage, they are undoubtedly still a long way to go.
However, Zhou Xu knew in his heart that he couldn't be impatient about this matter. At this time, what he had to do was to remain patient and do what he should do.
Over the next two months, after the initial adjustment period, the construction engineering division here completed the construction of the mine and brick factory.
At this point, the two facilities here can finally be officially put into operation.
Of course, the work of the construction engineering division will not end here.
Their next step is to follow Zhou Xu's instructions and reduce the number of lizardman habitats in this tropical rainforest to four while upgrading each habitat.
To put it simply, it can be understood that in addition to the tribal land where the Lizardman Temple is located, they also need to build three villages in this tropical rainforest.
After that, they still have to plan the movement routes between these villages and open up roads, which is undoubtedly a busy task.
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be more updates after 10:30 today.
