Chapter 599: Two Become One (Part 2)
With curiosity in his heart, after confirming that the two fragments of the world had merged into one, Zhou Xu rode his horse directly over, intending to confirm it with his own eyes.
However, as he ran, Zhou Xu gradually felt that something was not right.
[That's not right. I've been riding my horse for at least 20 minutes. Why haven't I seen the garrison camp on the grassland? ]
Not every inch of land on the grassland is covered with green grass. The area near the edge of the world is much more barren. After autumn, the land becomes even more bare, which is very similar to the environment in the plains here.
This meant that after the two fragments of the world were successfully pieced together, Zhou Xu had no way of judging where he had run to by looking at the surrounding environment, and could only confirm his location through the garrison camp.
[According to the speed of war horses today, if they are not charging at full speed, their average speed is about 30 kilometers per hour. I have been riding for nearly 20 minutes, so I estimate that I have traveled at least 10 kilometers. Why haven't I seen the garrison camp on this side of the grassland? ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu felt a little weird.
After a slight hesitation, he chose a direction and rode for nearly ten minutes before his garrison camp in the grassland area in the distance finally came into his sight.
[Damn it, the distance between them can be 20 or 30 kilometers? ]
This is obviously not normal.
For safety reasons, the garrison camp is located at a certain safe distance from the edge of the world, but it is not too far away. There cannot be a gap of 20 or 30 kilometers.
With doubts in his heart, Zhou Xu turned his head and looked carefully at the land behind him.
In the process, he discovered that the land behind him was ordinary and had no characteristics, but it also had a sense of strangeness.
During this period, the subordinates who were originally on the two world fragments have also gathered together.
"You've come just in time. Come and take a look over here. Wasn't there any such large area before?"
Zhou Xu asked the right person this question. The main job of the garrison troops on both sides is to patrol the border every day. It can be said that no one is more familiar with this area than them.
In fact, they had already discovered something was wrong on the way here. Now that their king had said this, the soldiers on both patrol teams naturally became more certain.
"Reporting to the king, there was indeed no such area before."
After getting this answer, Zhou Xu couldn't help but have more thoughts in his mind.
"A piece of land appeared out of nowhere?"
Although this piece of land is neither big nor small and seems to have no resources, at least we have gained space. It would be nice to use this area to build buildings or some construction facilities in the future. After all, the land itself has value.
As for why there is such an extra piece of land...
Zhou Xu actually had a few ideas.
For example, this was originally a complete world, but it collapsed with the destruction of the old civilization. During the collapse process, it was obviously impossible for every piece to collapse completely. It is very likely that a lot of land in these marginal areas was shattered.
When the two fragments of the world merge, the originally shattered parts may be repaired at the same time.
Now that the two world fragments have merged, Zhou Xu plans to go back and inspect to see how the internal development has been going during this period of time.
Along the way, feeling the subtle changes in the climate, Zhou Xu suddenly thought of a possibility.
[Wait a minute, could this extra land be used to transition between the two environments?]
Some people who have taken a long-distance bus may have had this experience: it was windy and rainy in the city where the bus departed, but after the bus left the city, they found that the sky was clear.
Because different regions often have different climate environments.
The tropical rainforest, plains and grasslands have different environments and climates.
The plains are close to the tropical rainforest, so the climate is similar to that of the tropical rainforest, but not as humid and hot as that of the tropical rainforest.
The climate in the grassland area is different, with a large temperature difference between day and night, especially in winter, when people can be frozen to death at night. This kind of thing is basically impossible to happen in the plains here. Here on the plains, the temperature can be as high as 10 degrees at the coldest time.
If these two areas were directly connected together, the different climatic environments on both sides would inevitably have a huge impact on each other.
But with a buffer area to provide buffering, the situation can be improved a lot.
Of course, this was just a very casual guess that flashed through Zhou Xu's mind.
This world is not an ordinary world that can be judged with modern common sense. There are so many incredible things. If you try to explain them with your limited knowledge, it will only highlight your ignorance.
Anyway, having an extra piece of land would only bring him benefits and no disadvantages, so there was no need to worry about it.
At this point, the territory of their Great Zhou was finally successfully integrated into one, which greatly facilitated their internal development and construction.
After passing through the garrison camp in the grassland area, Zhou Xu first came to the tribal land originally allocated to the Centaurs.
After the Centaurs surrendered, he naturally took back the tribal land.
Today, a small prairie town has been built in this area, named Mustang City.
Although the tribal land was taken back, the Centaurs still lived here. Under this premise, except for those Centaurs who went to serve in the army, the main job of the remaining Centaurs was to capture wild horses on the grassland and carry out some hunting-related activities. That's why the Wild Horse City got its name.
In the past two years, with the large-scale production of stone bricks at the brick factories, the construction within their Great Zhou has also been developing rapidly. During this period, they have done more than just build border fortresses.
Many villages inside have also been built with bricks and stones and are beginning to develop into towns.
During this period, considering the climate environment on the grassland, Mustang City and Prairie City, while completing comprehensive upgrades, also built city walls to protect them from wind and rain, so that they can have a safe resting environment even in some extremely harsh climates.
Entering Mustang City, he found that the construction work here was just completed two months ago, and he came back to take a look at it at that time.
Only two months have passed, and there haven't been many changes internally.
However, the number of centaurs playing and frolicking in the streets of the inner town has obviously increased.
Centaurs are considered adults at the age of ten, but when young centaurs are one or two months old, their legs and feet are already very nimble.
Obviously, even though Drogo and his men have not been sent to the front line in the past two years, these guys have not fallen behind in their work of reproducing their tribe, and the size of the Centaur tribe has expanded invisibly.
However, it is obviously too early for these little centaurs to be put to good use.
While Zhou Xu was inspecting the internal development of Wild Horse City and thinking about this, a pterosaur rider from the southern border fortress rushed here at the fastest speed and delivered the latest intelligence from the front line to him! Update is here, thanks to book friends '仙可遇不可求-Da' and '周周Sama' for their rewards!
