Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 400
Chapter 400: New Resources and Uranium Mine
However, Ji Ye wasn’t going to use the Stone of Civilization yet.
Transforming a Transcendent object would cost a lot of power of providence.
Since the Twin Dragon Island had now become a terminal of alien races, enemies would keep showing up. It would be better to use the power of providence on summoning heroes and bringing back those who had died in the battle.
“Well, we’ll now talk about the territories of the four rebels.
“We’ve done some preliminary examination on the four areas, which indeed contain a large number of resources, such as the grass we mentioned earlier, which can accelerate the growth of the warhorses, as well as some Extraordinary grassland creatures.”
The report was made by a core player who was a husbandry major teacher on Earth.
“Fang La’s territory has lakes that can accelerate the growth of aquatic creatures, and there are many types of Extraordinary fish there!”
After that, an expert in aquatic products introduced Fang La’s territory.
“Tian Hu’s territory has soil that can speed up the growth of plants, and a lot of Extraordinary plants grow there, including rubber, which we need. Wang Qing’s land, on the other hand, has a large amount of Extraordinary mine reserve, from which we can refine a lot of Extraordinary metals. And there’s a uranium mine!”
A geologist player sounded much more excited than the first two.
“What? A uranium mine?”
“Are you saying that we can develop nuclear power now?”
That surprised many players in the room.
Even Zhou Yu seemed amazed. Being the best at learning among the natives, he had learned a lot about Earth and knew what a uranium mine meant.
“But isn’t it a bit too fast? Do we have the adequate technology?”
“We have several thousand Stones of Civilization. That’s more than enough for us to start from scratch!”
Before completing the A Hundred Vying Barges test, the Twin Dragon Island was still far from building nuclear weapons.
But now, they had thousands of Stones of Civilization that could be transformed into military equipment. Moreover, they had Ameagle’s detailed nuclear weapon blueprints in the SkyNet, making it possible for them to build such weapons.
“Well, since we’re on that subject, we’d better talk about the distribution of the prizes.
“We have a great number of them this time, so we’ll distribute them based on the new Contribution Points,” said Ji Ye, who seemed to have remembered something.
Before, when the Twin Dragon Island distributed the war prizes, the settlement would make the decision on half of the prizes. The other half was given to the people who had actually defeated their enemies.
But it would cause some issues.
For instance, many people would start picking up enemies’ weapons and shields before the battle was completely over, but the extra weight would then slow them down.
Another example would be the occasion of killing a powerful enemy, which usually involved multiple participants, who would then compete over the precious prizes dropped by the enemy, and things could even get violent.
To solve that problem, the island adopted the Contribution Point system.
After the battle, a special team would pick up all the war prizes.
If a combative member took the war prize directly, some of their Contribution Points would be deducted. For instance, Ji Ye had paid for the golden chariot and two talent skills.
Of course, once the system confirmed that the person was the one who actually killed the enemy, the points would be reimbursed.
Thanks to Su Nongying’s Registration Book that could look up members’ information as well as the computing ability of SkyNet, the Contribution Point system was established.
“Those who are willing to transform their Stones of Civilization to specific objects will also be given Contribution Points according to the levels of the stones.
“Moreover, the settlement will set up a trading system. If you don’t want something you’ve obtained, you can trade with someone else.
“Commander Mi Zhu and An Quan, I’ll leave the two of you in charge,” said Ji Ye to the two men.
With enough Stones of Civilization, not only could they build nuclear weapons, the overall setup of SkyNet could start as well.
In the future, they could have online options for such trades. Once the natives tried “Taobao”, they wouldn’t be able to resist it!
“I’ll let Commander Lin make the next announcement,” said Ji Ye.
“Well, after finishing the Transcendent test, we’re given a chance to make some major adjustments to the layout of our settlement!”
Lin Dong, the person in charge of the architecture, sounded very excited.
Back on Earth, he was a famous architect and urban planner well known in Southwest Province and even the entire country.
The four islands and four territories of the rebels totaled up to about 150 square kilometers.
It was only the size of a medium city on Earth, but because of the existence of the special power, everything could be changed. Mountains could become valleys, waterfalls and rivers could be created with a wave of one’s hand, and cities could be built underground…
No designer on Earth would ever imagine such things.
To do that, he even had someone go offline to consult his tutor, an academician-level urban planning expert, who would then go to top experts in the industry for assistance.
The old academician wasn’t much younger than Elder Meng and was hospitalized. When he heard the news, he was so excited that he removed his oxygen tube and IV needle. He then summoned his famous students and formed a team.
However, they didn’t know much about Twin Dragon Island.
Therefore, the people of Dragon City needed to list down their requests first.
“We need two ports with good locations. They should be adjacent to the Mirage Monsters’ waters so that we can use the Mirage aura to conceal the strategic military spots.”
That was from the navy under Ruan Xiaoer’s leadership.
“Since the soil in Tian Hu’s territory can accelerate the growth of plants, we can move things like ginseng, ganoderma, and Red Pips from the herb garden there.”
That was from Shang Yan, An Daoquan, and other logistics and medical staff.
“Eagle Peak can rise a little higher. That way, we can make the blue wind even stronger.”
“The volcano of the Magma Monsters should be moved to the border. For one, it’ll pollute the city if it’s too close. For another, it’ll work as a natural barrier.”
The efficiency of their collective efforts was very high, and the general plan for Dragon City soon took shape.
One of the most important decisions was for the settlement core of the Twin Dragon Island to be moved to Dragon City, the new center, as a “political center”.
The original Twin Dragon Island would be separated geographically from all other areas and surrounded by water on all sides. Just like Liangshan in Water Margin, it would become a strategic military area!
Apart from that, the palace left behind by Tian Hu would be located on the outer ring and become a sub-settlement.
“Mr. Gongsun, together with Commander Qiao, Ninth Uncle, and Yi He, you’ll be in charge of the Fengshui layout and formation setup of the settlement!”
Once they had the general idea, Ji Ye gave Gongsun Sheng the instruction.
Of the surrendered generals, Qiao Daoqing was the only one who was qualified to attend the meeting.
After all, he became an undercover agent in Tian Hu’s army for the Twin Dragon Island and defeated thousands of people all at once. The contribution he made was more than that of some of the island’s own commanders.
Moreover, his expertise in Fengshui was very important in the construction of Dragon City.
Of the players, because Yi He used to be a representative in the area, he was also included in the “Fengshui team”. Due to his performance in the latest battle, his past as a member of the Musical House settlement had been forgiven.
“Well, overall, we need a ‘Dragon Terrain’ that’s powerful enough!”
In the end, Ji Ye made his own request.
With the King’s Contract talent that he had now, together with the Yin Dragon Jade Seal, he could activate the Dragon Terrain Power.
If they could build a Fengshui layout that was powerful enough, with the Taiyi Mixed Elementary Grand Array, even Transcendent enemies wouldn’t be able to directly threaten the settlement core of the Twin Dragon Island.
If the settlement core was safe, they would prosper in the Land of Inheritance without disturbance.
“With all the changes, the name of our settlement will change again as well. It’ll be Dragon City from now on.”
The last announcement that Ji Ye made caused many people to be excited.
Dragon City sounded a lot more impressive than Twin Dragon Mount or Twin Dragon Island, and it suited their position as the top settlement from Earth!
More importantly, from “mount” to “island” to “city”, the change of its name indicated that the settlement was growing stronger!
“After that, we’ll discuss the special prize.
“With the power of providence that we’ve obtained, we can probably choose two kinds of resources and two heavy treasures.” Ji Ye brought up the next topic.
“In terms of the resources, we’ll enhance the Red Pip.
“We’ll improve it to Vermilion Fruit. Our settlement mainly focuses on physical enhancement and martial arts practice, so the Vermilion Fruit is our ideal choice.”
That was from combative members who practiced martial arts.
“No, I think Stone Milk is a better choice. The blue wind will do too.
“We have many resources that can enhance one’s energy and blood, but we don’t have as many in enhancing our mental power.”
Although not many members focused on their mental power, there were still some, and they thought differently.
“No, the red wood is more suitable.
“It’s a rare type of excellent resource and can be widely used. We only need to refine it into one yellow wood tree and multiply it with the power of providence. Once that’s done, we’ll be able to have Transcendent resources all the time.”
“Silver Liquid will do too. ‘Souls’ that are semi-conscious have already appeared in the Silver Liquid pool, yet not even one Metal Man appears. I think things will change once we make it Transcendent!”
However, logistics members made a strong claim as well.
“I think we should choose the black mud. Right now, the severed limbs still grow back too slowly. Plus, so many people are wounded this time that we barely have enough black mud.”
“How about the deluding mushroom? Deluding Gas worked wonders this time. We were able to hold Eagle Peak because we set the enemies against one another.”
“I think we can choose Sweet Dew. It’s a high-quality treasure in the Journey to the West as well!”
Everyone in the meeting room was talking at the same time.
Neither the combative nor the logistic members wanted to back off. The martial arts and mental power practitioners had their own ideas as well!
