Chapter 248: Two Million Workers, Constructing the Dragon City With All Their Strength
Soon, with Doge’s help, Lorne successfully obtained 5 million gold coins.
As for whether he should let Doge go to the Cold Desolate Dragon City first?
Lorne felt that the sooner the better, because the repair of the alchemy workshop had basically been completed. As for whether to build additional features, it still required Doge’s own opinion, so it was best for him to go as soon as possible.
However, the problem was that the current Encyclopedia of Rare Herbs had just been announced. It was currently in the midst of a meeting to discuss, and Doge could not leave for the time being.
In addition, as the Guild Leader of the Alchemy a.s.sociation, if he wanted to leave, he had to first complete the matter at hand. Right now, Iron Skull City was busy producing potions. As the Guild Leader, he had to complete the handover of his work before leaving.
…
After leaving the Alchemist a.s.sociation, Lorne finally brought the [Labor Utilization Token] to the labor recruitment area.
With this token, Lorne had the right to recruit laborers. However, recruiting laborers required payment, and they also needed to be given food and accommodation.
There was no need to worry about their residence. The environment of the Cold Desolate Dragon City after the purification was very good. There was no problem resting in the square. The only thing that needed to be dealt with was food.
Lorne had already prepared the funds.
This time, he directly recruited 2 million workers, and they were professional workers with skills. The price of the professional workers was twice that of ordinary workers, but the efficiency was more than twice that of ordinary workers.
Fortunately, there was also a half-price recruitment effect on the labor requisition order given by Ansare. Therefore, Lorne only spent 2 million gold coins to recruit 2 million technical workers.
As for food?
The daily consumption of each worker was 1 unit. One gold coin could buy 10 units of food. Lorne directly bought 1 million gold coins of food, enough to solve the problem of food for the people in the city for a week.
“Very good. This time, the Cold Desolate Dragon City is going to change!”
Looking at the workers who gradually appeared, Lorne’s heart pounded.
Although he had spent so much effort and money now, as long as the Cold Desolate Dragon City could be built, everything was worth it. After all, the potential income of a city was much more than what he had paid now.
When the players in the main city saw the million laborers, their eyes dropped to the ground.
“Gos.h.!.+ Gos.h.!.+ Gos.h.!.+”
“Are you kidding me? Where did so many workers come from?”
“Look, they followed Tyrant into the teleportation circle!”
“Did they go to build his territory?”
“That’s possible. The City Creation Token in the hands of Tyrant has not been used yet.”
“I reckon that earth-shattering news will appear soon.”
…..
Then, Lorne began arranging the workers’ work.
Because the city was huge, the workers had to be scattered in many areas. After some consideration, Lorne finally chose to let the gnomes who were good at building lead the workers in construction.
First of all, the city wall was the most important!
Although the city guards were working, in order to complete everything in five days, Lorne decided to a.s.sign 500,000 workers to help the city guards build.
Then, another 500,000 workers were sent to expand the city wall.
Cold Desolate Dragon City was not the Kingdom of the Dragon. It did not need a super-long city wall of 16,000 kilometers, but Lorne hoped that it could have the city defense power of the Kingdom of the Dragon. Therefore, he chose to expand the surrounding 160 kilometers of city wall to the same thickness as the outer city wall of the Kingdom of the Dragon.
This was a difficult project with more than 70 million hours worth of work.
If an ordinary worker were to undergo construction, he would need 70 million hours to complete all of this. After all, a person’s lifespan was only 30,000 hours. Even if he did not eat or drink, he would have to work for 2333 years to complete it.
Just looking at this number made one feel despair.
Fortunately, there were enough workers under Lorne this time. If he used 1.1 million people to build it, it would only take two to three days.
Finally, Lorne had a million workers left.
These workers needed a portion of them to build the wall of the City Lord’s Zone, just like the situation in Iron Skull City.
However, this city wall did not need to have powerful defenses. It was only to block the adventurers and creatures of other races who entered the Cold Desolate Dragon City, preventing the core secret of the Cold Desolate Dragon City from being discovered by others.
According to Lorne’s calculations, the wall of the City Lord’s area only needed to be built for 20 meters, and because the length of the construction was limited, it only needed five million work hours.
Considering this, Lorne directly a.s.signed 100,000 workers to build it, which could end in two days.
Then, it was not easy to repair the completely damaged buildings in the city. After calculating it all, with 50 million hours of work, the remaining people could complete the work in about two days.
Lorne took a deep breath and began to crazily print the construction blueprint, scattering it into the hands of the construction workers in the various areas.
After completing these matters, Lorne arrived at the highest castle in the city alone. This was the unique throne of the city lord. At this height of several hundred meters, he could almost see the appearance of the entire city.
“This is just barely enough to restore the Cold Desolate Dragon City.”
Looking down from the window, Lorne could not help but sigh.
Restoring the Cold Desolate Dragon City was not his goal.
The cities of the dragons were too ‘simple’. Because the dragons were too huge, the buildings were also astonis.h.i.+ngly huge.
Although this scene was shocking, it was too monotonous, especially not suitable for the development of the city.
A prosperous city had to have countless buildings. Such a huge building that did not use much s.p.a.ce could not bring about economic benefits.
Lorne did not want this city to become a tourist destination, as that did not suit his ident.i.ty as a player.
Therefore, after restoring all the buildings in the Cold Desolate Dragon City, he still had to build a new city area and turn the Cold Desolate Dragon City into a free city that could allow all races to enter and trade.
To fulfill this dream, he needed to spend more money.
Thinking of this, Lorne could not help but target the players. There were nearly a hundred million players in Iron Skull City. If he could attract them, the income of Cold Desolate Dragon City would exceed the horizon!
Not to mention anything else, just the teleportation circle from Iron Skull City to the ruins of the war was enough to bring him a huge amount of income.
“Let’s begin, lest the solo players h.o.a.rd the potions.”
Lorne opened the city announcement and typed an important announcement. He sent it out and went offline to rest.
The next moment, all the players in Iron Skull City and even the entire world went crazy.
