Chapter 211 Building a New City
Li Ziyu decided to build a city. Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing were not surprised. They had lived in cities in their previous lives. Wasn’t building a city a normal thing?
But for Moumou, Tastulin and Zaliki, the news was very exciting.
The wasteland is poor in resources. To build a city in the wasteland, one must be a large tribe. No, it is difficult for a large tribe to build a city. Only a powerful race is qualified to build a city. A city is a symbol of power.
The news that Li Ziyu had decided to build a city was quickly spread, and the indigenous people were stunned when they heard it.
What, the Lord of the Undead not only has no intention of killing them, but also wants to build a city?
What kind of psychedelic operation is this?
It was already unexpected that the undead could coexist with them, and now they had to build a city for them. Even their ancestors could not imagine such a good thing!
No matter what the natives outside thought, Li Ziyu, Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing went into the room and started seclusion mode to plan how to build the city.
None of the three of them came from a background in civil engineering or architecture, but they had lived in the city for so long in their previous lives that even if they hadn't eaten pork, they had seen pigs run. Besides, it was a different world, so it was fine as long as it was good enough, and they didn't have too high requirements.
In just three days, an extremely simple city blueprint was drawn up.
The city is square and very regular, expanding outward in rings. This is for the future. For the current tens of thousands of people, one ring is enough.
In the center are the soul base station and undead buildings, which is unchanging. In addition, Li Ziyu deliberately expanded the scope for future development to avoid lack of space when adding more buildings in the future.
Based on this, four main roads are drawn horizontally and vertically to divide the city, and the living space is on both sides of the main roads.
For the house to live in, Li Ziyu requested that it be made of brick and earth. There was not much vegetation on the wasteland, and using wood to build a house was really a bit of a luxury. Bricks and earth were just right, and there was no need for cement and other messy things. As it was a world with magic, it was more convenient to use magic, and even the city walls were built in this way.
Next is vegetation. Although there is a lack of vegetation in the wasteland, since they are planning to build a city, greening must be done well. Li Ziyu plans to collect vegetation that is easy to survive in the wasteland and place it in the city. On the one hand, it will improve the urban environment, and on the other hand, in order to prepare for the future, he hopes to build a green city, let vegetation cover the entire city, and at the same time stabilize the water and soil.
Zhang Peng is in charge of the underground construction. Sewers, wells and the like can be handled by the mole people.
By the way, some races in the alien world still like to live underground. Li Ziyu also specially planned the underground living space. This requires communication with Zhang Peng to avoid the holes that he asked the mole people to dig.
This simple little town was not even as good as a town in the previous life. It was only a new rural village standard, and was even worse.
But so what? If you are not satisfied, you can just make adjustments later. Li Ziyu is responsible for laying the foundation and building a prototype. Do you really expect him to build a complete city for the indigenous people?
Where do I have the time for that?
After the plan was made, the three of them started to act immediately. The skeleton undead were not afraid of hard work or fatigue, and were obedient. Simple work like moving bricks was no big deal for them. They could work 24 hours a day without interruption and did not ask for any pay. Even the capitalists would cry when they saw this.
As for the indigenous people, they cannot sit idle either. After all, they will be the ones living in the city in the future, so they have to help. Their most important task is to make adobe bricks.
In his previous life, Li Ziyu had watched a wilderness survival show where many big guys could build houses from scratch. He didn't believe that these aliens couldn't even make mud bricks.
Indeed, it is not difficult for the indigenous people to make adobe bricks. Even without the help of magic, they can produce a large number of adobe bricks. Moreover, each brick is as hard as stone and of very good quality.
After Li Ziyu and his men inspected the area, they selected several types of earthen bricks and asked them to work overtime to make them. The bricks were then transported by the undead to build houses and city walls.
At the beginning, the indigenous people were very afraid of the undead and tried to stay away from them. Later, they found that there were more and more undead, and they were everywhere. Their number was dozens of times greater than theirs. So there was no point in hiding and they just had to work honestly.
The undead simply ignored the natives' intentions and worked honestly on the bricklaying work with a serious and responsible attitude. This made the natives quickly let down their guard. Since they had no intention of attacking them, everything was negotiable.
The large-scale construction began in full swing.
Li Ziyu added several new buildings around the soul base station, such as the prayer cemetery. To put it simply, this building is a cemetery, but it has a special feature. The prayer cemetery has the characteristic of absorbing soul energy. It can transform the power of faith of those who pray in the cemetery into soul energy, thereby giving birth to new skeletons and undead.
【Prayer Cemetery】
[Introduction: Can absorb the power of faith and convert it into soul energy. Can also absorb free soul energy. Corpses buried in the prayer cemetery will automatically transform into skeletal undead (the speed of conversion depends on the stored soul energy)]
[Construction Requirements: Skeletons*50 units, Wood*100 units, Stone*100 units]
【Area: 2 units (expandable)】
The prayer cemetery is just right for this kind of gathering city. Li Ziyu stipulated that in the future, whenever someone dies in the city, they must be buried in the prayer cemetery, and relatives and friends can go to the cemetery to visit the deceased.
Isn't this equivalent to a continuous supply of barracks? Although the output is low-level skeleton undead, it is sustainable, and he doesn't have to take care of it. There is nothing wrong with just letting it go.
