Chapter 1198 The Focus Shifts, and the War Is Coming!

"The potential index has finally exceeded 1,000!"

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat when he saw the eye-catching number finally change from three digits to four digits.

This number that fluctuates is never certain.

Whether there is a resource upgrade in the territory, the area of ​​the territory is expanded, or the population increases, the surge in talents will increase the value.

At the same time, the value will decrease due to natural disasters and sudden events.

But the comparison of the two values ​​can still reflect the development speed of the territory in the past year.

Compared with the average value, it is already 20 times ahead.

Compared with the highest value, the gap from the initial thousand times is only ten times.

Of course, it is undoubtedly more difficult to catch up after reaching this value.

For example, population, compared with those territories with hundreds of people, Tianyuan Territory will find it difficult to catch up even in a few years.

For example, the area of ​​the territory, without so many people, the larger the territory, the greater the defense pressure.

For example, the resources in the territory, the larger the area, the more resource points there are, which will provide more potential index.

But think about it from another perspective.

Even with such a huge disadvantage in these aspects, the potential index of Tianyuan Territory can still exceed 1,000.

Doesn't this indirectly show that some other advantages are more prominent?

Moreover

"This is because the remaining territory has been basically saved since the last upgrade of the research institute. If all of them are used..."

Su Mo felt relieved and continued to scan down.

As the system panel shook slightly, clear text began to appear.

[April 20, the second year of the last calendar]

[Lord]: Su Mo (host)

[Territory status]: A small human settlement that rose from insignificance. Although various infrastructures are still at a low level, the comprehensive ecological environment, economic development, scientific and technological research and development, armed strength, people's lives and many other aspects can still rank among the best in the wasteland settlements!

[Territory Area]: 180 square kilometers (not small but not big either, you have enough living space, but no strategic depth)

[Territory Potential]: 1001.4 (the current continental average is 59.79, the highest value is 13158.56)

[Potential Analysis]:

Infrastructure: 199.8 (with simple road network, drainage, water supply, communication, public, energy, disaster prevention and other facilities, which can connect every corner of the territory with the central area and provide a more comfortable living environment for the residents inside)

Resource Collection: 395.2 (with There are a lot of basic resources, including but not limited to tungsten ore, iron ore, copper ore, geothermal steam, land)

Population quality: 198 (residents have a positive attitude towards life, relatively healthy physical fitness, and a flat distribution of talents, which can provide support for all walks of life.)

Range of influence: 208.4 (with considerable military and economic strength, it can have a good impact on the surrounding areas and change the local situation.)

[Territory terrain]: rolling

[Territory buildings]: basic residential buildings, simple road networks, basic public places, basic private places, basic research places, basic Defense facilities

[Weather forecast]: Light rain in the territory tomorrow, temperature -29~-18 degrees, northwest wind, wind force level 2 (the temperature is low, it is recommended to wear cotton clothes to prevent infection with cold)

[Citizens]: 69185 people (expand +)

[Loyalty of citizens]: 94.8% (stable loyalty means that your policy implementation will not encounter any resistance)

[Citizens' attitude]: pursuit of progress (although the environment is still difficult, the long-term positive development still stimulates the desire and motivation of human beings from the bottom of their hearts, making everyone full of enthusiasm and confidence in life, that is, Even when faced with difficulties and challenges, they will not give up or retreat easily. )

[Health of the people]: Good (83% of the people have a health of 60~69, 10% of the people have a health of 70~79, 4% of the people have a health of 80~89, and 3% of the people have a health of >89)

[Work efficiency of the people]: 41% (The extreme cold weather greatly affects work efficiency, making humans more prone to fatigue and sleepiness.)

[Needs of the people]: Stable jobs, considerable income, independent residences

[Tips for the people]: Strictly ensuring the employment rate is a necessary means to maintain the development of the territory.

[Economy]: Steady and steady (Your territory has established a basic trading organization with more than 30 trading partners, which not only ensures a stable daily trading volume, but also continuously obtains various scarce resources from trading partners.)

[Technology]: Newly-made (Your territory has developed a number of "special technologies" that can achieve a significant leading advantage in certain small areas.)

[Medical]: Newly-made (Your territory has a small medical facility and five micro medical facilities, which can treat up to 300 people at the same time; it has basic Internal and external treatment methods, as well as basic drug production capabilities. )

[Code]: Effective (strong armed capabilities can ensure that any rule is strictly enforced)

[Architecture]: Newly established (with two special wonder buildings, more than 500 various living buildings and industrial buildings, which are enough to form a regional cultural atmosphere.)

[Level of Civilization]: Energy-Seeking Era (Promotion Conditions: Not Met)

[Location Acquisition]: 19.25 (Cumulative: 1820.6)

The long list of entries unfolds, each of which represents the progress of the territory in the past ten months.

Whether it is from infrastructure construction, resource collection, population size, or surrounding influence.

Or from economic development, technological research and development, etc.

Compared with when the Ten Thousand Paths Struggle version was just updated, it has made great progress now.

And besides that.

“Unknowingly, I’ve almost accumulated two thousand points of claim points!”

Sumo's heart skipped a beat. Even though he already knew the general idea, he was still extremely surprised.

There are many useful ways to claim a place.

In addition to directly improving the territory potential.

Not only can you modify the territory's weather and expand the territory's area, but you can also upgrade the terrain and buildings.

When used properly, it can be said to be even more useful than a survival point.

However, in the past ten months, Soma has only spent 300 points to expand the territory by thirty kilometers and include the dense forest to the west where residents often go.

The rest of the points were saved and unused for the next big plan.

The focus of development has shifted!

Slowly building infrastructure in the wasteland is too inefficient. As Mr. Qiao said, if you want to build a city similar in size to Qinggang City on the plains, you will have to pay several times more for materials alone.

And this does not include time consumption, manpower consumption, and a bunch of headaches.

Even with the help of the system, Sumo probably used virtual reality to simulate it.

Without any natural disasters, it would take at least eight to twelve years to build another city of similar size around Qinggang City.

This is so luxurious!

so.

"When this Wanjing dispute is over, we can begin to incorporate the western suburbs into the territory and use the territory for restoration."

Once it comes to repairing the city, a few thousand claim points are definitely not enough.

However, the acquisition speed per day has now increased from two or three points at the beginning to close to twenty points.

If you plan it slowly, you may not be able to make the western suburbs look brand new within a few months.

"And after the reconstruction of the western suburbs, not only will it provide me with more territorial sites, but those abandoned buildings will also be able to play a role, saving the territory a lot of time and cost in repeatedly building residential buildings."

Somo thought to himself, considering more aspects than before.

From the establishment of the territory to the present, the needs of all territorial residents have never changed.

That is. Independent residence!

Independent living can provide a private and safe space, allowing residents to better arrange their lives away from external interference and pressure, and enjoy their own personal space and freedom.

It can also provide the possibility of establishing intimate relationships between people, making the distinction between inside and outside more obvious.

At the same time, it can also form a deeper concept of 'home' outside the territory.

Judging from the current nearly 70,000 people in the territory, even if there are many families among them, the number of residential houses to be built will not be less than 40,000.

A lot of building materials and time are wasted on this, and there is also the risk of being damaged by natural disasters.

It is far less convenient than directly incorporating the city into the territory's territory and moving in directly after repairs.

And in the future, if there are more people, we can also achieve the goal by repairing more buildings.

"If only the entire city could be included in the territory."

Thoughts scattered, Somo felt his heart surge and he could not control himself when he thought about the tall buildings in the center that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, as well as some abandoned underground shelter facilities and various civilian buildings.

With Qinggang City as the center, it will develop radially to the surrounding areas.

This is much simpler than focusing on the dungeon and moving to the surrounding areas!

Think about it for a moment.

Sumo couldn't wait to invest in the territory now and try to bring the western suburbs into the territory first.

If the results are good, the development of the territory will undoubtedly enter a period of rapid growth again.

"You have to calm down. It's still winter. Let's wait until spring."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Sumo stood up.

The surrounding environment changed automatically, and we once again arrived in front of a small village where dozens of people were having an intense discussion.

Right now, the main event of the Battle of Ten Thousand Paths is still the top priority, which is related to the acquisition of the ‘Boundary Stone’.

No matter what, the rewards related to it cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of foreigners.

"You are still poor. If you have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to get a place, why should you worry about development?"

"Or give me hundreds of thousands of survival points, and still have to worry about such an intense competition?"

Listening to the heated discussion, Sumo was thinking about how to allocate the few survival points.

The race is both a competition and an opportunity.

If it's the same as the knockout round, players can use points to buy things made by the contestants.

That would certainly be a great publicity opportunity!

The Tianyuan Territory in Future Ruins took advantage of the big earthquake three years ago to promote Nengshi Technology.

Now that there is an opportunity for advance publicity, Sumo naturally does not want to miss it.

It's April 22nd, Year Two of the Wasteland Calendar.

The day after the expeditionary force returned.

Because this expedition was really like a winter simulation training, not only did they not encounter any difficult enemies, most of the people in the final battle ended hastily without even firing a shot.

After careful consideration, there was no grand celebration in the territory. They only held a small-scale celebration banquet and then let everyone go to rest.

After sleeping for a whole day and night, the fatigue of traveling all the way was relieved a little.

After waking up, all the volunteers immediately received the long-awaited good news.

"Volunteers participating in the expedition only need to sign a settlement agreement to obtain permanent resident status."

"And in addition to this, you can also freely choose to continue to serve as a volunteer army, or join the Tianyuan Army."

Finally got an identity!

An expedition had given all the volunteers a sense of belonging to the Tianyuan Territory, and now they were fully qualified to join the territory.

On that day, all the volunteers signed the settlement agreement without any hesitation.

It's just that there are some differences in the choice of arms.

"Oh? No one wants to join the Tianyuan Army?"

After sorting out the information on the table, Su Mo couldn't help but raise his head out of curiosity when he heard the news.

In addition to Li Hu's guard, there are currently three types of troops in the territory with foreign qualifications:

The Tianyuan Army, which received the best treatment, was led by Feng Long.

The volunteers, who receive moderate remuneration, are managed by Su Deben.

As well as the reserve corps with average treatment, Feng Tianmin is responsible for training the troops.

Water flows to lower places and people climb to higher places.

It stands to reason that these volunteers should be ecstatic that the entrance to the Tianyuan Army has been opened.

no one joins

"It seems that our General Sudeben has a few tricks up his sleeve!"

Su Mo smiled, watching Feng Tianmin hesitate to speak, but he didn't have any unnecessary thoughts in his heart.

If this situation were in any human territory, the lord would probably not be calm.

The so-called high power shocks the master.

With just a simple expedition, Su Deben completely conquered all the volunteers, and even tended to develop these people into confidants.

If it is not controlled and divided, if things go on like this, military power will be formed that is independent of the lord.

In the wasteland, in the end times.

Armed force is the right to speak. If there is too much, it will shake the stability of the lord's rule.

“Don’t trust those who employ them, and ignore those who doubt them.”

"Nearly four thousand volunteers will be sent in the next few days. Is it possible that I can divide them all among you for training?"

After glancing at the numbers on the information, Sumo became less concerned.

However, what was surprising was that Feng Tianmin responded dullly.

"Lord, give it to me. Otherwise, how can I fight with a group of new recruits?"

After saying this, he also expressed his grievances, which immediately amused Li Hu and Su Deben next to him.

Also, he takes the reserve corps to train every day.

The majesty is majestic, but it is extremely difficult to win military exploits.

Seeing that Su Deben had such a big spotlight this time, even though Feng Tianmin preferred a Buddhist personality, he couldn't help but feel ready to make a move.

"Don't worry, now is not the time for you to show off."

"We need to train the volunteers so that the new recruits can't be left behind."

After signing his name on the sent approval documents, Sumo raised his head and said solemnly.

"I have a hunch that after this Ten Thousand Paths War is over, there will be a war between humans and aliens."

"So fast?"

The three of them looked up at the same time, a look of caution rising on their faces.

War in peacetime may require a long period of friction to intensify the situation. It will not break out until the situation becomes irreversible and intolerable.

But in the chaotic wasteland, life and death crises can come at any time.

War comes only in an instant.

If a sign ignites, the entire continent will be plunged into the flames of war.

"It won't be soon. In fact, this war should have broken out a long time ago. It was just because of the delay in version update."

"And once the Ten Thousand Paths War ends, the balance of power between the two parties will be broken."

Somo pondered slightly and did not continue to explain clearly.

No matter which side is the winner in this Ten Thousand Paths battle, the balance of power will actually be tipped.

If the alien race wins, the myth of the human God Su will be broken, and all fears will naturally be swept away.

War would break out overnight and cover the entire New World.

If humans win, their advantages will continue to increase, and the aliens will not just wait for slow death.

War will also break out, but it may start on a small scale and then gradually expand.

In both cases, war cannot be avoided.

Then what he has to do is very simple.

"No matter what the price is, I will win this battle."

"Beyond that, I will use the rules provided by the game to maximize the advantages of the human side!"

"We will win this war!"
