Chapter 1144 Lack of Everything
The preliminary completion of Winter City has allowed Luo Ji to successfully free up a group of manpower, which he intends to put into the construction of various military fortresses.
It is worth mentioning here that this military fortress cannot be built by just looking for a piece of open space.
If you build a military fortress on a flat ground, it doesn't make any sense at all. Pushing a dozen cannons on the opposite side will blow you into ruins.
Selecting the terrain is a very particular thing. Take the Beishan fortress of Wanjie Civilization as an example. It is directly blocked at the gate of the entire Beidi Mountains, and there is a grand canyon outside. This is the terrain!
Black Mountain Fort on the other side of the dwarf province, the terrain is not bad.
The construction department is confirming the blueprint, not to mention the Yangtze River Fortress that is ready to be constructed.
In this wave, once Luo Ji has expanded his territory, at that time, when the enemy invades from this side, he will be able to block the opponent on the other side of the Yangtze River.
For a building like a military fortress, you have to choose this terrain to build!
Progress reports on various projects continued to be sent. Before the winter of this year, the construction and engineering department had officially presented the design blueprint of the Yangtze River Fortress to Luo Ji's eyes.
After all, they had never built a port before, and now Luo Ji asked them to design a Yangtze River fortress that combined a fortress and a port into one, and it really took them a lot of work.
After reading the blueprint, Luo Ji waved his pen, and the construction of the Yangtze River Fortress officially started.
This winter, the civilization of the worlds is not peaceful. There are many more roars of steam engines. The entire civilization is completely about to enter the industrial age.
Leaning in the government hall covered with dragons, Luo Ji, who had finished reviewing the report in front of him, stretched his waist vigorously, then picked up the hot tea in his hand and drank it slowly.
Just now, the latest report sent to him told him that another coal mine had been hollowed out.
At present, there are actually many coal mines in his Myriad Realms Civilization, and the output is quite high. The exhaustion of one ore vein will not cause much impact on him.
However, Luo Ji is a person who thinks about danger in times of peace. Next, the development of his Myriad Realms civilization will enter the industrial age. At that time, the consumption of coal will inevitably increase by 100000000000000000000.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji resolutely recorded the incident in his notebook.
He is actually a person with a good memory, but he is busy with government affairs and there are too many things, which leads to some things may be forgotten, so he developed the habit of taking notes very early.
During this period, this winter, it was undoubtedly cold for the grey elves who had just returned.
It was obviously not that cold in previous years, but this year it was just the beginning of winter, and it was already so cold that Terrell, regardless of his demeanor, wrapped himself in several bloated coats.
The stove in the castle was clearly burning brightly, but even if they got close to the stove, Terrell and Serra could still clearly feel an unstoppable chill.
It is worth mentioning here by the way that Luo Ji did not intend to occupy the Grey Elf Castle, but directly changed it to the mansion of the City Lord of Sunset City, allowing Terrell and Sera to continue to live there.
At the same time, he didn't take the magic crystals, magic cores, and spell books in the castle treasury for nothing. He gave them a huge sum of money.
How much is this huge sum of money?
To put it simply, even if they do nothing from now on, eat and wait to die every day, they can live a prosperous life for decades. For ordinary people, it is estimated that they can live a life without food and clothing. .
For this huge sum of money, Trier and Serra basically didn't take it seriously.
What do they have? Where do you need this?
At that time, only Mia knew the value of this huge sum of money, so when the reward was handed out, it was received by Mia.
The door of the castle hall slowly opened, and Mia, who came in from the outside, looked at her mother and brother who had been frozen and almost lost their demeanor.
"Why is it frozen like this? Did you not wear the clothes I sent you before?"
"The weather this winter is too cold, those clothes are so thin, what's the use of wearing them?"
While speaking, Trier, who turned his head, looked at what his sister was wearing at this time, and he was almost stunned.
"Mia, you're crazy. You can't wear so little for the sake of being pretty. You'll get sick from the cold!"
I saw that at this moment, Mia was only wearing a white turtleneck sweater that looked rather flimsy. Trier admitted that the clothes were very beautiful, and Mia was also very beautiful, but the problem was that it was too much. A little thin, right?
Sera, who is a mother, obviously thinks so, and quickly pulls Mia to the stove, and prepares to take off her coat and put it on Mia.
In this regard, Mia showed a helpless look on her face, and sighed softly at the same time...
"I'm really not cold. If you don't believe me, see."
Helpless, Mia directly took her mother Sera's hands with her own.
At that moment, Sera could clearly feel that, unlike their cold hands and feet, Mia's hands were unexpectedly warm...
Looking at her mother who was completely confused, Mia was also quite distressed. How to explain this kind of thing?
She can't say that she is wearing thermal underwear inside, and the outside is an expensive but very warm cashmere sweater, right? That being said, her mother and brother probably still don't understand.
In the end, they simply urged them to quickly change the clothes they bought.
Feeling the amazing comfort, Sera and Terrell couldn't help but be amazed. They couldn't understand the reason for this dress. It looked so thin, but it was more than their coats. warm.
And just when they were thinking so, the captain of the Lear bodyguard came in from outside.
After surrendering, the elf mages and griffin knights of their gray elves were officially incorporated and joined the army, but the silver armored guards left them behind and are currently in charge of the security of the gray elves castle.
"Mia Gong, Miss, the courier has arrived."
"Finally delivered?"
Hearing this, Mia was greatly relieved.
Before the winter, she deliberately went to the nearby wood elf city to buy a lot of things.
However, there is no road on the road leading to Sunset City, the road is difficult to walk, and the carriage by carriage is not fast, and it has not been delivered until now.
"Move in quickly."
Under Mia's suggestion, one item after another kept moving into the Grey Elf Castle. After a while, half of the hall was already filled, but the items had not been moved...
Feeling the gaze cast by her mother and brother, Mia introduced it quite simply.
She bought a lot because she felt that there was nothing in the Grey Elf Castle.
For example, mattresses and quilts. She had never discovered that the quilts in the castle were not warm at all. When she slept these days, she was wearing pajamas and wrapped in the quilts, and she could still feel a distinct chill.
In addition, there are a series of utensils and daily necessities such as stoves, pendulum clocks, soaps, toothbrushes, etc. Anyway, the mother and brother standing by the side are a little dizzy.
