According to the construction of an immortal city, the basic capacity of an immortal city was two million people. The minimum population was three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand, and the city could function freely. Under normal circumstances, one million was the most common, and two million was the peak. If the population continued to increase, it would be a great burden on the immortal city. For example, food, daily travel, and even the state of daily life would all be affected.
For the officials of an immortal city, the increase in population meant that the difficulty of management would rise sharply. There would be chaos, the breeding of criminals, and the possibility of breaking the law would increase exponentially. The resulting chaos would have a great impact on the stability of the city.
Of course, this was also a kind of test. It tested the ability of the lords of each immortal city to deal with all aspects. Whether they could control the situation was the biggest test of their own abilities. As long as they could endure, there was no doubt that their abilities would be honed, and their true strength would increase greatly. In the future, it would be crucial for them to be directly promoted to important positions.
However, this population of more than one trillion was far from the real population of Da Yi. Don't forget, in Yi Tianxing's Hongmeng Tiandi Pagoda, there was a large number of soldiers, both men and women. The exact number was also calculated in one trillion. The losses on the battlefield of Eternal Night were not small, but the number of people gained was even more shocking. It was completely beyond imagination.
Yi Tianxing estimated the exact number to be more than one hundred trillion. Fortunately, they were all kept in Hongmeng Tiandi Pagoda, and not released directly. Otherwise, the pressure on Da Yi would be immeasurable. Many soldiers were even sent into the world of the pocket watch, where they were temporarily put into a deep sleep, sealed, and waiting to be awakened.
Therefore, with the current population of Da Yi, it was completely capable of supporting a large-scale expansion.
Of course, now, the most important thing was to solve the population pressure that Da Yi was facing. To completely release this pressure.
In fact, with the current situation of Da Yi, if they directly released the population and built cities in their territory, they could also release the pressure. However, it would destroy the fundamental purpose of building immortal cities, to suppress the wilderness with immortal cities. An immortal city suppressing an area of a thousand miles.
This was not without meaning.
The existence of the wilderness was also very important.
"How are things going with the things that I ordered the Ministry of Works to do?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
He also looked at Pei Ju, the Minister of Works.
When Pei Ju heard this, he naturally took a step forward and came to the main hall. He bowed and said, "Back then, the Emperor ordered the Ministry of Works and Heavenly Craft Pavilion to build immortal cities together. After mobilizing large amounts of manpower and resources, they built a total of 300 immortal cities in the first year. On average, he could forge one in a day. In the second year, there was even more manpower, and a total of four hundred were built. By the third year, the number had reached 600. Up until now, a total of more than 20,000 Immortal Cities had been built. It can be used at any time. "
Twenty thousand immortal cities might seem like a lot, but compared to the Great Yi, it wasn't a lot. Every immortal city had a starting population of five hundred thousand. It could only accommodate a little more than a hundred billion people. Comparatively speaking, the Immortal City of Da Yi was still not enough, not to mention the soldiers stored in Hongmeng Tiandi Pagoda, which could be quickly converted into people.
These Immortal Cities were like a cup of water.
"Not enough, the number of immortal cities is far from enough. Da Yi's population is growing really quickly. It isn't enough to change the situation. Do you all have a good plan? "
Yi Tianxing shook his head and said.
"Emperor."
Heavenly Craft Pavilion Head Shulin stepped out and said respectfully, "The reason why we are unable to build more immortal cities isn't because of manpower, but because the speed at which the Heaven Flame Furnace refines the bricks isn't fast enough and the production isn't high enough. Today, the Heaven Flame Furnace has merged with the Cloud World and can split out sub-bodies. From now on, the Heaven Flame Furnace will be able to use stronger effects faster. Hundreds of Heaven Flame Furnaces can be activated at the same time as long as there are enough bricks. With Heavenly Craft Pavilion and the Ministry of Works working together, we can gather large numbers of skilled workers and commoners. Within a day, we can build 10, 100 Celestial Cities. "
His tone was filled with certainty and a thick sense of confidence.
Why did they only build so few Celestial Cities during these few years, wasn't it because the production couldn't keep up? Only the Heaven Flame Furnace could mass produce raw materials. One must know that the Heaven Flame Furnace had filled up all the Deviant Flames. Once it went all out, the power it produced would naturally exceed one's imagination. The abilities of the sub-bodies weren't much different. Just crafting Xuan Yellow Bricks was just too easy, too easy.
During these few years, there were some commoners who chose to become city builders to craft Celestial Cities for the Great Yi Dynasty.
However, people thought that the requirements were really low, just moving some bricks. In truth, it was a technical job. Not only did one need to know how to carve runes and formations, but one also needed to know basic Feng Shui architecture. Knowing how to lay out the layout. Which building was the best place to put it? How to plan each street. Building a city didn't mean that just one body was enough. The basic facilities within had to be built. At least once people entered, they would be able to live there and settle down.
What was worth mentioning was that. During these 20 years, Da Yi didn't have no achievements. In terms of construction, they improved every day. They integrated spatial techniques into buildings. For example, a residence for commoners. Within the residence, they used the Sumeru technique to open up a space that was far larger than the one seen from the outside. It was ten times, or even more than a hundred times, and then built new houses in the space. This method of construction was called the Heaven and Earth Construction Method. It saved as much space as possible, and could accommodate a large number of commoners. There wouldn't be any crowding. It was also quite convenient to go out. With one's own Natural Register Card, one could enter and exit the Heaven and Earth Space. It was both simple and convenient. To the commoners of Da Yi, this sort of Heaven and Earth Cave Abode was something they loved.
Because within the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode, they could still see the scenery of their own Celestial City. The sun, the moon, and the stars were all there. This kind of method imperceptibly caused the space within the Celestial City to expand and become even larger.
If it weren't for this breakthrough in technology, the current Celestial City of the Great Yi Dynasty wouldn't have been able to support such a huge population.
Now, in the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, there was a group of people specifically studying how to enhance the use of the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode, hoping to make the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode even larger. One had to know that the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode was divided into three types. One had a radius of three miles, one had a radius of five miles, and the last had a radius of ten miles. Reaching ten miles was already quite a difficult range to break through.
According to Da Yi's planning and construction, a Heaven and Earth Space with a radius of three miles could house a hundred families. The households here are only one family. Even a family of three generations would be able to live there. It wouldn't be a problem even if it could house tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, in an Celestial City, there was a need to build Heaven and Earth Cave Abodes for the residences within the Celestial City. These all required specialized skills.
Now, in Da Yi, there was already a large group of talented people devoted to the study of architecture, studying the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode.
"Very good. The construction of the Celestial City must be done quickly. There can be no slacking. We can't be a burden to Da Yi in the Celestial City. "
Yi Tianxing nodded.
As he spoke, he could see that Zhuge Liang, Yang Ye, and the rest of the military were paying close attention. Upon returning to the Eternal World, everyone knew very well that the Great Yi would definitely expand. Moreover, the scope of expansion would be enormous. The military was naturally the main force. They weren't afraid of war, but they were afraid that their logistics wouldn't be able to keep up. What was logistics? To them, it was the Celestial City. They had to have enough Celestial Cities. To support their expansion.
To stabilize the fruits of victory.
Now that they had the guarantee of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion and the Ministry of Works, they were naturally very satisfied.
"Oh, by the way, who created the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode? Tell me the details."
Yi Tianxing asked.
It had to be said that the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode had brought great benefits to Da Yi. However, the details still needed to be understood in detail.
"The Universal Abode of Abode of Heaven and Earth was proposed by a genius from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. His name was Hu Zeyang, and he was proficient in the Art of Architecture. Because he realized that the population of Da Yi was growing and the living space was shrinking, he proposed to incorporate the Sumeru technique into the various buildings. Then, the many skilled craftsmen of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, along with the talents of the Imperishable Academy, overcame all sorts of difficulties and finally created the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode.
"Currently, the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode can only be used for living, but it can't be used for planting flowers and trees. However, our Heavenly Craft Pavilion has already made further research. With Hu Zeyang as the core, we've established a team specifically in charge of this. In our vision, the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode can not only have a master, but can also be used to plant all sorts of flowers and trees. We can even build herb gardens. Planting crops is similar to a real Blessed Grotto-Heaven. "
Gongshulin said. He was also very proud of this matter.
Speaking of Hu Zeyang, he was a survivor from a modern civilized world. Originally, he studied design and architecture. Moreover, he was a genius in this field. His ideas were bold and imaginative. In many aspects, he could be more open-minded. His imagination was richer.
"What is needed to build the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode?"
After learning about Hu Zeyang's background, Yi Tianxing nodded to himself. Geniuses did not only come from famous people in history. They had indeed proven themselves in history. However, there were more geniuses that had been buried in the past. Now, the sand had been washed away by the great waves and revealed themselves again. In Da Yi, as long as one had talent, he would naturally have the opportunity to stand out. Just like Hu Zeyang.
Of course, the Heaven and Earth Cave Abode was definitely not easy to build.
