In the early morning of the next day, Tang Zheng got up early and followed the sketch drawn by Guo Yun to the location of the outer city wall.
After determining the location of the city wall and city gate, Tang Zheng began construction.
This outer city wall is very important. Not only may it face war in the future, but it is also the face of Tang Zheng's side.
So Tang Zheng decided to use the ultimate city wall directly.
Turn on the system and check the status of the ultimate city wall.
[Ultimate city wall: twenty meters high, ten meters thick, reinforced concrete structure, priced at one hundred gold per meter. 】
This is the price of direct construction without using building materials.
Tang Zheng added building materials, and the price changed.
[Ultimate city wall: twenty meters high, ten meters thick, reinforced concrete structure, priced at ten gold per meter. 】
The base that Tang Zheng wants to build is a rectangle.
According to the plan, the east-west length of the city is five kilometers and the north-south length is two kilometers.
In this case, the length of the ultimate city wall is 14,000 meters.
One hundred gold per meter, so this city wall alone costs 1.4 million.
With the use of building materials, 140,000 can be used to encircle the city wall.
Of course, the actual price will exceed this price, because there are still city gates that need to be built, and watchtowers and bunkers need to be built. This price is unaffordable.
Using building materials, Tang Zheng first chose a city gate.
This city gate is the south gate of the future city.
[City Gate (Water Gate): It can be placed in the city wall. It has an alloy structure and sells for 200 gold per meter. 】
Tang Zheng thought about it and decided to make the city gate fifty meters wide.
The width of fifty meters is enough for vehicles to enter and exit, and it is also very grand. It is quite suitable as a facade.
Clicking on it, most of the steel materials he obtained were immediately consumed, and a considerable part of the masonry, cement, etc. were also consumed.
At the same time, one thousand gold was also deducted from the capital. If no building materials were used, this city gate would cost ten thousand gold to enter.
Place.
With a rumble, a huge city wall appeared.
The city wall is fifty meters long, twenty meters high, and ten meters thick.
There is a huge iron gate in the center. The iron gate is liftable. There are winches on the left and right sides of the city wall that can lift the gate to a height of ten meters.
There is no lock on such a city gate, and there is no way to unlock it, so this is almost a city gate that cannot be broken head-on.
Tang Zheng walked over. The city gate was made of alloy pillars nearly half a meter thick. The pillars were so dense that no human body could pass through them.
Moreover, the smooth surface of the pillar is not stressed and is almost indestructible. Even if it is bombarded with a cannon, the result will be the same.
Looking up at the top of the city gate, Tang Zheng couldn't help but marvel at Guo Yun's design.
Nineteen meters of the twenty-meter-high city wall have smooth surfaces, making it difficult to climb.
On the top of the city wall, there is a protruding stone that protrudes outward about half a meter.
This protrusion alone has become a difficult point to climb. Even if someone can climb the city wall, it will be difficult to get over this protruding stone. There is no point of strength on it and cannot be used for climbing.
Tang Zheng came to the back of the city wall. There were zigzag steps to the top. Tang Zheng walked up.
Above the city wall, there are crenels like ancient city walls. Soldiers can shoot calmly in the crenels, and the crenels can provide cover for their bodies.
The city wall underfoot is ten meters thick, with crenellations on the outside and a one-meter-three-meter-high protective wall on the inside to prevent people from accidentally falling from it.
The actual road is about nine meters wide, and it is easy to run two cars side by side.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, the scenery to the south is unobstructed.
The Fengming River meanders and flows into the distance.
To the south is a vast plain, and you can see far away.
Tang Zheng looked at the bare city wall and turned on the system again.
[Sentinel Tower: It can be built on reinforced city walls and ultimate city walls. It is equipped with high-power searchlights and sells for 100 gold. 】
Tang Zheng selected a sentry tower, came to the east side of the city gate, and placed one first.
With a sound, a sentry tower rose from the ground on the foundation of the city wall.
The sentry tower is fifteen meters high and supported by four pillars. The four pillars are ten meters high and were built on both sides of the city wall. They are completely made of reinforced concrete.
Near the inner side, there is an iron ladder that can be climbed to the top, which is ten meters high.
Tang Zheng climbed up the ladder and reached the top of the sentry tower.
This is a relatively large internal space with a one-meter-three-meter-high protective wall, and there are tables and chairs inside for rest.
On the southern parapet, a high-power searchlight was set up.
The wires and other things had already been connected. Tang Zheng walked over and turned on the searchlight.
A strong light shot out, and even in the bright morning, you could see a beam of light shining far away.
And this height is already more than thirty meters. Looking far away from here, it looks even more distant.
"Good guy, put some of these guard towers on the city wall. It will be too difficult for others to get close to here."
After getting down from this sentry tower, Tang Zheng went to the west side of the city wall and placed a second sentry tower.
After that, he came down from the city wall and placed two machine gun bunkers on the left and right sides of the city gate.
The machine gun bunker is directly embedded in the city wall.
There is a small military storage room inside, with beds and electric lights, which can accommodate four people to rest inside.
There is a shooting hole on the side near the city gate, and a thick metal plate is inlaid around it, so that the internal space of the city wall will not be sacrificed, resulting in a decrease in the defensive power of the city wall.
In this way, the construction of the South City Gate will be completed.
Whether it is above or below the city gate, the defense system has been basically perfected.
Even Tang Zheng couldn't imagine what else could pose a threat to this place except those modern heavy weapons.
Returning to the city gate again, Tang Zheng clicked on the city wall and began to place it.
Place it one meter, and the road under your feet will extend one meter outward.
Place it ten meters, and the road under your feet will extend ten meters outward.
Seeing that he could easily build this huge project, Tang Zheng was also very excited and kept clicking and placing it.
When the left and right sides were about fifty meters apart, Tang Zheng stopped.
Because there are not enough building materials.
Think about it, a city wall that is twenty meters high and ten meters thick consumes a lot of materials.
Tang Zheng was a little dissatisfied and even wanted to use system funds to buy it without using the materials.
But he still suppressed this idea and waited patiently for the convoy that had gone out early in the morning to come back.
As the time approached noon, the convoy came back.
This time, two combat platoons and an engineer platoon were dispatched almost in full force. Nearly fifty heavy trucks brought back a large amount of building materials.
When the materials came back, Tang Zheng immediately greeted them excitedly. He didn't even bother to eat lunch and started a new round of construction.
When the carrying soldiers finished their meal, they discovered that the city wall at the south gate had been expanded to nearly 500 meters wide.
After consuming all the building materials, Tang Zheng walked back with unsatisfied feelings.
This 500-meter-wide city wall is like a huge natural barrier that separates the inside and outside of the base.
Just sitting here will give people an infinite sense of security.
After sitting down, Ning Yuwei took out a box of lunch from her arms and handed it to Tang Zheng.
"General, eat it while it's hot. I've been holding it and it's still warm."
Tang Zheng nodded, took the box lunch, and smelled it. There seemed to be a fragrance.
After opening the lunch box and starting to eat, Tang Zheng said to the people around him at the same time: "After eating, we will collect the food. This time, the third row will follow and bring all the heavy trucks. It will take half a day to go back and forth. We must make as much profit as possible." maximize."
"Okay General."
Several platoon leaders nodded, then stood up and set off.
The three combat platoons and engineer platoon left, and the place became quiet again.
Tang Zheng, who had nothing to do, took the security team to the location of the home he had reserved for himself.
It is close to Guyun Mountain and about two kilometers away from the south city wall.
The terrain here is relatively high. Looking from here, the city wall built in the south has become smaller.
Near the edge of the mountain, there is a waterfall falling from the sky.
Here is the source of Fengming River, where mountain streams and mountain melting snow converge to form this waterfall.
Over thousands of years, a pool has been washed out below the waterfall, with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters.
Standing on the shore, the bottom of the pool is crystal clear. The maximum water depth is about ten meters, and small fish can be seen swimming in it.
There are not many weeds on the shore, and there are some wild fruit trees. The fruity fragrance and cool water vapor come from it, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Tang Zheng also felt happy when he thought about living here every day.
While he stayed here to enjoy his leisure time, Ji Yuntian took the soldiers to disperse and check the surrounding situation.
Only Ning Yuwei followed Tang Zheng, walking slowly.
After all, Ji Yuntian is the squad leader, and Ning Yuwei is just a personal guard now. Her mission is to follow Tang Zheng and protect safety.
"Yuwei, go and bring a Willys Jeep over. I'll sit here for a while."
"OK."
Ning Yuwei went to pick up the car, which was not far away.
Tang Zheng was walking by the pool alone. At this moment, he suddenly saw something on the waterfall falling down with the water flow.
In a flash, he fell directly into the pool, and then followed the current and rushed directly towards Fengming River.
At this moment, Tang Zheng saw clearly.
That's a wooden box.
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then heard the prompt sound from the system Mengmeng.
"General, please note that there is a supply box refreshed, it is near you, and it is moving away. It is moving away."
Looking at the wooden box going along the water, Tang Zheng suddenly became anxious.
The supply box was refreshed in the river, but he still wanted to run away.
Just then, Ning Yuwei came back in a Willys Jeep, and Tang Zheng immediately jumped on.
"Chase! Don't let that supply box escape!"
