After sending away the restless bandits, Chu Xin checked on the situation of the people who had arrived in the territory.
The overall ability level is similar to last time and is at a very low level. But the difference this time is that among the 110 people, there are many more women, accounting for nearly 60%.
In terms of the productivity of the territory, young labor is definitely better, but Chu Xin suddenly had some new ideas when he looked at these older women.
Of course, this idea is not the other idea, and it is difficult for an aunt of this age to have evil thoughts.
Chu Xin simply thought that maybe she could consider pairing up men and women in the territory to see if they could form a few couples with each other.
After having a home, these people will be more dependent and loyal to the territory, which will contribute to the stability and harmony of the territory.
Most of these refugees were displaced because of the war. Their original homes have been destroyed long ago. It is not impossible to form a new family.
Chu Xin briefly explained this idea to Ron. This kind of thing must be done voluntarily and cannot be forced.
In the next few days, Chu Xin plans to recruit 100 refugees every day and complete the resettlement in batches.
However, correspondingly, the rapid increase in population will also bring huge management pressure and logistical pressure.
Chu Xin specially sent a comprehensive team of 10 mad lion warriors, 2 female medical soldiers, and 50 gray goblin spearmen to Ron to assist him in the daily management of the territory.
The new businessman Georgie is temporarily serving as Ron's deputy. He has experience in managing caravans and can do some simple things no problem.
After Chu Xin settled things here, he walked back. On the way, he checked the promotion conditions of the four-star territory.
[Conditions for promotion to four-star territory]: 1. Please expand the current territory to 10.1 kilometers (not achieved); 2. Please increase the lord star rating to four stars (achieved); 3. Please increase the comprehensive power value of the territory to 20,000 points (achieved); 4. There are no monster groups or other forces in the territory (not unlocked, please expand the territory to the limit); 5. The population in the territory reaches 1,000 (not achieved); 6. The territory is destroyed One territory with four stars and above (achieved). "
Of the six conditions, three were completed unknowingly.
Destroying the four-star territory, which I thought was the most difficult at first, was unexpectedly completed first. The remaining three conditions required time to accumulate.
The population of the territory is already a certainty. According to the normal progress, it can be completed in about eight days.
However, territory expansion is more difficult and requires 50,000 units of stone mines.
Although the territory now has mines, a lot of stone is produced every day. Stone ore is needed in various aspects such as building fish ponds, outdoor observation towers, and territory construction. He has not accumulated a lot of stone ore resources in his hands.
So far, he only has less than 5,000 units of stone mines in his hands, which is less than one-tenth of the required quantity.
According to the normal progress, the mine can produce about 2,000 units of stone every day, and the stone ore resource point can produce about 4,500 units of stone ore. The total amount of stone ore harvested in a day is about 2,500 units.
In other words, without consuming any stone ore, it would still take eighteen days to complete the accumulation of resources needed for territory expansion.
"The gap in the stone mine is so big!" Chu Xin sighed.
This is only the stone ore consumption of the watchtowers for the expansion of the territory. The rest includes the construction of the territory's city walls, the construction of border castles, etc. There is still a stone ore gap of at least 20,000 to 30,000.
It's a pity that the ones that came out randomly this week were only small mines. There was only an extremely narrow mine tunnel in it, and the number of people it could accommodate was limited. Otherwise, Chu Xinfei would have sent all the more than a thousand gray goblins in his hand to mine.
However, Chu Xin is also making preparations. In addition to daily farm tools, Balian's most manufactured tools are mining picks.
Once a large mine randomly appears in any week, Chu Xin must use all the strength of the territory to go in and dig a wave of mines.
There is another direction that can be worked on, and that is at the Gene Replication Center. He is going to try to see if he can copy the mining capabilities of the dwarf miners to the fighting dwarves.
Today's quota has extracted the bloodthirsty aura of the skeleton leader on Friday and successfully copied it to the skeleton shooter.
But out of 10 places, 4 failed and only 6 skeleton shooters succeeded.
This experiment made Chu Xin understand that the range of replicable kin is quite broad, but the higher the similarity between the two, the higher the success rate.
Like the Fierce Lion Warrior and the Mad Lion Warrior, the Mad Lion Warrior was originally mutated from the Fierce Lion Warrior, and the success rate is naturally 100%. However, the Skeleton Commander and the Skeleton Archer are different. Although they both belong to the Skeleton clan, they have different characteristics. Nuanced.
However, most dwarves have mining genes, so copying advanced mining techniques should not be a big problem.
We still have to wait until tomorrow to see if it can be done.
Chu Xin feels that there should not be too much difficulty in this regard for the monster groups and other forces around the territory. The Dark Moon Werewolves are now consciously cleaning up the territory. The area of more than ten kilometers around the territory is their hunting ground. .
When she returned to the yard, the sky was getting dark, and Chu Xin stopped hanging up automatically for the day.
Although many areas have been explored in the past, now that the exploration speed of the golden villain has been greatly improved, the limit range that can be explored has also changed greatly under the daily auto-hook.
Naturally, Chu Xin can also gain new exploration value.
This wave of automatic hangups gave Chu Xin 2,482 exploration points. Together with the more than 2,000 exploration points accumulated before, he finally successfully broke through the 5,000 mark.
Chu Xin conveniently loaded the Crystal Defense War dungeon. After consuming 3,000 points, there were still about 2,000 left. After exploring a few more waves tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he could almost load the Green Devil Tribe dungeon.
At night, Chu Xin opened her notebook and started writing.
He has now set four development goals for himself, which are mainly divided into four major areas: individual strength, territory infrastructure, territory defense, and food reserves.
The main personal strength is Chu Xin's own, currently focusing on training his mental strength, archery and close combat abilities.
The infrastructure of the territory mainly includes roads, flax planting and silkworm breeding supporting cloth mills, warehouses supporting grain reserves, factories supporting cement production, etc.
This is the most difficult part. Chu Xin either lacks the corresponding raw materials or the corresponding equipment technology.
As for the planning of the territory, after thinking about it for a period of time, he had a new plan.
The inner city where the Black Castle is located, as the core area, is built like a fortress to comprehensively strengthen defense capabilities. At the same time, buildings with important functions are all built inside.
The outer city is mainly divided into military area, commercial area, industrial area and residential area.
The military area mainly houses troops and is equipped with corresponding military buildings such as martial arts arenas and military lairs;
The commercial area is mainly reserved for the construction of ordinary buildings such as restaurants, taverns, and blacksmith shops. In the future, even if trade cannot flow with the surrounding territories, commerce within the territories can be gradually built up.
Because in the next stage, when the territory develops for a period of time, Chu Xin will consider implementing a land contract system and contract some ordinary land to the territorial residents. In this way, they can maximize their work efficiency.
The current semi-mandatory work is essentially equivalent to Chu Xin providing food and shelter to hire these citizens to work.
The management cost of doing this is actually very high, and at the same time, the work efficiency will be relatively low, and the territorial residents have a very low sense of belonging to the territory.
Chu Xin only has a preliminary idea on how to do it specifically. The territory is still under construction and it is impossible to implement it immediately.
The industrial zone mainly builds some mechanized production factories, which require more skills. I am afraid that only Chu Xin who is lucky enough to reveal the factory drawings or hires the corresponding technical talents can start construction.
Residential areas are mainly responsible for the resettlement of residents, the reasonable arrangement of roads and residences, and the construction of corresponding living facilities.
Toilets, domestic water, domestic waste collection, domestic sewage discharge, etc., many aspects require further consideration.
On the periphery of the territory are agricultural and livestock areas.
In terms of territory defense, the blood thorn jungle in the outer city is growing quite well under the control of the territory trees, and can temporarily be used as city wall defense.
As for defense towers, you can accumulate a batch by grinding in the Crystal Defense War dungeon for a period of time.
By then, agricultural areas, livestock areas, internal and external city walls, and other places will all have construction needs, and the gaps will be relatively large.
Finally, in terms of grain reserves, the territory has now opened up nearly one to two hundred acres of land, most of which have been sown, while a small part of the land has just been reclaimed and has not yet had time to be planted.
The most cultivated areas in these lands are corn, wheat, and sweet potatoes. The remaining vegetables are only planted on a few acres of land each.
The ones that are growing well now are almost mature, while the ones that are growing slowly are just showing their green shoots.
There is no way to grow rice, mainly because the environment here cannot meet the paddy fields needed for rice growth.
Rice is a hydrophilic crop and requires a certain water layer environment to ensure the water demand of the rice itself. Currently, ditches and irrigation facilities have not been established, making it difficult to ensure its growth environment.
However, after the territory is expanded, the area where the Gray Fang tribe is located has a meandering river. Perhaps they can consider cultivating several large paddy fields for rice cultivation nearby.
Unconsciously, after writing several pages of ideas, Chu Xin felt like her head was spinning. There were too many aspects to consider.
"Take your time, you won't become fat with just one bite." Chu Xin put away the notebook and looked up at the sky.
The weather was not very good at night, and there was faint thunder.
Not long after, the sound of dense rain falling came from the yard, hitting the leaves and eaves, forming a beautiful melody that soothed Chu Xin's somewhat irritable heart.
At this time, Friday had not returned yet, but he didn't have too many worries.
Through the contract with Friday, Chu Xin could vaguely feel the other party's state, which was very stable and nothing happened.
I'm afraid it's a rare trip to the world of the dead. The high-cost tickets consumed by the portal are enough to be spent at once.
After Cao Tuan and Xiao Qing had dinner in the evening, they slipped over there to fish again.
Chu Xin thought that it would not be a problem to continue like this. The grass ball was nothing. He was originally the professional fishing boy he planned to train, but Xiaoqing was still young.
Just in time, Rosa, the kindergarten teacher, has officially taken up her post, and Xiaoqing will be asked to follow her for enlightenment learning tomorrow.
"Well, my synergy talent can be adjusted." Chu Xin suddenly thought that he might try to see if he could borrow agility or concentration from Xiao Qing.
Moreover, after completing the contract with Bingmeng, you can also establish a follower relationship with him.
If we could borrow the Ice Substitution Technique or the Water Shadow Technique from him...
Chu Xin regained her energy, and the hazy sleepiness that arose in her body with the sound of rain dissipated in an instant.
"Reminder, you designate Friday, Cao Tuan, Tie Lin, Bing Meng, and Xiao Qing as your new followers."
Chu Xin replaced the five followers in the entourage column and took down the original Rosa and Tony.
In fact, Tony's goblin language is an ability that Chu Xin wants to keep, because he discovered a goblin tribe on the border of the Dark Land, and may be able to communicate with them if he has the opportunity in the future.
But when the time comes, asking Tony to translate will have the same effect.
"Tip, you have designated the current cooperation targets as Cao Tuan, Bing Meng, and Xiao Qing. The abilities are being copied... You gain the abilities of rapid growth and healing, ice crystal barrier, and concentration!"
Working together, four targets can be designated, but Chu Xin will still have Friday's undead armor for the time being.
Xiaoqing's agility didn't go to waste, but she gained concentration, which is not bad.
This time, Cao Tuan finally had no weird abilities, but acquired the ability to grow and heal quickly, which strengthened Chu Xin's self-healing ability to a certain extent.
As for Bingmeng, who was most anticipated, none of the two life-saving means that were very successful in fighting against the insect mother's clone came over.
But this borrowed spell is a six-star water defense spell.
After use, a layer of extremely strong ice crystals can be released to wrap the target, making it unable to be attacked.
This spell can also be used as a control ability if used on an enemy.
Overall, the abilities borrowed from this joint effort are much more reliable than last time.
"I wonder how effective this concentration is?" Chu Xin muttered to herself and turned on the night mental training mode.
As soon as the mental training started, he felt something different. Chu Xin felt that his whole body was highly concentrated, and the sound of rain outside gradually faded away.
This was never possible in the past. During every exercise, he was easily distracted by outside movements.
In addition, during the exercise process, you can't help but think about all kinds of things, and it takes a while to get into a concentrated state.
But today was different. In just a moment, he quickly entered the state.
With the energy of concentration, Chu Xin began to exercise his mental strength. He felt that tonight he might have a chance to hit the bottleneck that he had been unable to break through in the past.
