Starting from Zero

While the elves are busy dealing with the aftermath problem, we are here to discuss how to solve the new city construction problem.

The current volume and coverage area of ​​Tree of Life have seriously exceeded the standard. We are impossible to build a circle of cities along its outer circle area. Because the larger the radius of the circle, the faster its area will increase, so don’t look at the current Tree of Life coverage radius, it seems to be only expanded by more than three times, but if we build the city according to the previous magic cultivator, the final city The area of ​​​​is not just as simple as three times.

In the face of such a large Tree of Life, we must think of a way to solve it.

In Isinger’s Conference Hall, we drove 3D imaging while playing the overall structure of the Tree of Life and the three-dimensional Terrain Map of the nearby area while discussing the construction of the city.

Hong Yue was the first to ask: "The first thing we need to decide is whether the area of ​​the city needs to be expanded?"

Sumei opened the mouth and said: "The more the city Larger means more competitive, but the increase in this area will not be directly proportional to the upside of competitiveness. If my estimation is good, the comparison may be a orthographic curve, so we need to know the current city We can only draw conclusions on whether the area is suitable for further expansion."

"I think we must first consider the issue of money, right?" Gold coin said: "The original city scale is already very large. If we continue to expand The scale, is our guild’s funds sufficient? I seem to remember that the proportion of our guild’s funds is planned in advance. If such a large investment suddenly increases, won’t our other projects be affected? I am afraid that our working capital may not be enough, right?"

Rose shook his head: "The capital is enough, but the problem is still the one mentioned by Somei. Do we need to expand the city? Sometimes it may not be too big. That's good!"

"It's useless for us to guess like this." I looked up and asked: "Military god, I seem to remember the economic model of Rose, right?"

< p>The voice of the military god rang above our heads: "I have recorded the relevant data. What do I need to do?"

"Help with the calculation. See if the city scale expands, the optimal urban area How much is it, has it exceeded the standard now?"

Military God's answer was very quick. "The relevant data is seriously inadequate, and I cannot give an accurate judgment."

"The insufficiency is all calculated using fuzzy calculations. We only need an approximate range, not so precise."

This time I paused for a while, and then said: "The current coverage radius of Tree of Life is 32.8 kilometers. According to my comparative analysis of the data I have, the optimal urban area in South America should be 3000 square meters. Less than kilometers, which means that even if the urban space is no longer expanded, the current area is seriously beyond the reasonable range."

"In this case, what needs to be solved is not the problem of urban funds, but should be The area of ​​the city is a problem." Rose said: "The coverage of Tree of Life is seriously beyond expectations. Now we have only two choices. One is to build a city on Tree of Life, just like those medium-sized wizard cities in China. , The whole city is built on Tree of Life. The advantage of this is that it is more elven style, the city will look simpler, but for the moment, you may still prefer a more dreamy elven city. However, if needed It’s absolutely impossible to build a dreamy elven city just as it is now. But if you expand the city, it will exceed the scope of city rationalization. A city that is too large will increase our burden, and the profit will not increase the number of kills. It’s a good deal."

"What about the second choice you mentioned?"

"The second choice is a bit more troublesome." Rose said, "I have been with Polsefor before coming back. The nirvana has passed. The area of ​​Tree of Life is actually not fixed. As a special plant, Tree of Life can actually be self-regulated to a certain extent. Simply put, Tree of Life can take the initiative to shrink its own Cover the area and make room for us to build the city."

"This method sounds pretty good, but since you put it in the second place, does it mean that this method is flawed? "

Hearing my question, Rose admitted directly: "Indeed, there is a very serious problem, that is, Tree of Life can indeed change its shape according to our requirements, but this process It is not as swiftly as an animal changes its body posture. With the ability of Tree of Life, to adjust itself to the size and filling we need, this process may take up to three to four months. And before its adjustment is complete, We can’t even start building cities."

"Three to four months? How much money do you need to accumulate?" Although Hong Yue is not in charge of the economy, she did not become the Vice-President of our guild. But he is in charge of a guild, so she can still see such a simple funding problem.

"The backlog of funds is second." Rose said: "As you all know, Tree of Life is not a simple production unit. Although she can generate many kinds of valuable resources, it is in a static state. Tree Once of Life enters the active state, its consumption will even exceed that of most animals, and considering her size, its consumption will be very amazing. And I have already learned from the wizard. The recipe of Tree of Life is very simple, In addition to natural sunlight, moonlight and free energy, the only thing that can be absorbed is Life Essence."

"Life Essence? That thing is priceless!" Eagle exclaimed.

Rose shrugged helplessly, and then said: "Tree of Life just eats this, I have no other way."

I overlapped my hands and supported my head under the chin. , And then frowned and thought, waited until Rose finished speaking before opening the mouth and said: "I think this second plan can be abandoned directly. There are too many drawbacks, even if the expansion of the city makes a city that is not optimal, it is far better than This is much better."

After listening to my words, Rose also said: "So I think this method is not as good as the first method."

"But directly in Tree of Life Isn’t it too monotonous to build a city?” Hong Yue said, “Should everyone have been to the elven city in China? The style of simply replacing the whole city with a tree is actually only the first time I have seen it. I think it’s not bad at the time, but after a long time it will feel quite monotonous. I don’t think this is appropriate."

"We will have people who are engaged in urban planning and landscape design, right?" I suddenly said Asked.

Military God quickly replied: "There is such a person, and there is a special department responsible for this. Do I need to call the directors of the two departments?"

I thought about it. I still think nodded and said: "Notify them to come."

The two Chief-In-Charge members arrived very quickly and appeared in the office in less than 3 minutes. The two Chief-In-Charge happened to be a male and a female, and one was a player and the other was an NPC. The management of our guild is not all players, there are also capable people among NPCs, and there are not too many.

The man is an NPC, mainly responsible for urban planning. This department is not very suitable for players. The main reason is that this position requires relatively high professional knowledge, not that you can do it if you are interested. Moreover, because of some special environments or rules in the game, there will be more things to pay attention to than in reality. At the same time, some issues that need to be paid attention to in reality become irrelevant in the game. Because of these differences, even real city planners cannot directly plan the city in the game. On the contrary, the NPCs living in the game must know more about the world they live in than the players, so The cities they set are often much better than the players.

Another woman is a player in the guild. She is a non-combat profession, and her specialty is landscape design. According to Martial God, she is an anime art designer in reality, which means that landscape design is actually The major is the same as hers, or at least a similar career.

"President, is there anything to call us?" The female player first asked. As a player, she is more casual than an NPC. After all, for the players, the president is just like the child king. If you want to say that the status is definitely higher than the member, but if you really want to say how strong the binding force is for the member, that really doesn't talk about it. After all, if you are in a hurry, it is just a loss of an account. Although you will be very reluctant, but you have to be anxious. If you give up, you will give up. Therefore, players are not particularly concerned about the guild’s senior management. For example, our guild is relatively strong, so its cohesion is high. Members respect the president and the guild’s senior management very much. In other guilds, especially those Weak guilds, in fact, members don’t care about the president. There are many small guilds whose members are highly mobile. For those who change guilds in two days, it is a ghost who can respect their presidents.

Compared to players, the situation of NPCs is different. NPCs cannot leave the game. For them, the world of the game is reality and everything. Therefore, for NPCs, the guild leader of their own guild is actually similar to the ancient emperor, and even more exaggerated. After all, the emperor has to suffer The restrictions of the gang minister and the rules of the middle, on the contrary, the guild leader of the player's guild is much less restricted. Therefore, for the NPC, the president is more terrifying existence than the emperor, which requires absolute care.

"You two, come and sit down first." I greeted them to sit in two temporarily increased positions, and then said to the military god: "Tell them about the current situation."

Military God quickly explained the problems we are facing in South America and the situation of Tree of Life and the two solutions mentioned by Rose. After the military god finished speaking, I said to them: "The second of the two plans that Rose said before has been rejected by us. Now we have basically decided to adopt the first plan, which is based on Tree of Life. Build a city. But we don’t want the city to have only a simple big tree standing there. It’s too monotonous. We need a gorgeous, dreamy, and of course natural wizard city. Our city will be a tourist city, it It’s a hub and a logo, so we can’t make it look bald. Do you understand what I mean?"

After I finished speaking, both of them were nodded, and then the female player let me first Give them some time, and then she left the meeting hall with the NPC. After they left, we had to discuss some other things first, and the two designers did not return until more than an hour later.

"President, we have already thought of a solution." The female player was still speaking.

"Tell me."

The female player immediately asked: "Can the god of war cooperate with us? I know he can simulate three-dimensional images."

I nodded agreed to let the military god help, then the other party turned around and shouted outside the door, and then saw a few NPCs walking in with a bunch of blueprints. This female player worked with the NPC planner next to him and the group of NPCs who came in for a long time before letting the military god scan all the blueprints. After getting these things done, she went back to the front of the table and coughed twice before officially starting the introduction.

"Military God."

Following her voice, the conference table in the center of the conference hall immediately once again projected what Tree of Life looks like now, and the three-dimensional image is still there. Slowly spinning.

After the image appeared, she said immediately: "This is the current situation of Tree of Life. It seems to be a bit monotonous, and the uneven root organization on the ground is not suitable for the establishment of urban ground facilities. , This is very bad."

"What are you going to do?"

The female player snapped her fingers, and the three-dimensional projection immediately moved laterally, apparently out of the Tree A place in the outer circle area of ​​Life is highlighted with a long bright line. She pointed to the picture and said: "What everyone sees now is a highlighted river. I heard that because of this river, the president has specially thought of a way to solve this problem."

I nodded and said: "Yes, this river is easy to flood during the rainy season, and accidentally our urban construction site will become a vast ocean. So we thought of a way to lead the river water into the ground so that there is no need I’m worried about flooding. Didn’t you have the idea to hit this river?”

What made me didn’t expect that the female player actually said: “Yes, I just watched We are on this river. Our current city area is completely covered by Tree of Life. If we want to adjust, the amount of work will be very huge. So I thought of this river."

"Then you The consciousness of...?"

"Use large-scale spells to sink the entire area where Tree of Life is located, seal the previously excavated underground diversion canal, and raise the terrain in the surrounding area of ​​Tree of Life , The river is reorganized at the turning point of the river, forcing the river to diverge and flow into our city."

"I rely on, then our city is not a vast ocean?"

"What we want is a vast ocean. Since we can't repair the ground on a large scale, why don't we just build a water city?"

"Water city?" Those of us present heard this term. stunned. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
