In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo mailed the token and letter that Ying You had given him to Sun Xiaoyue.
Then, Ouyang Shuo walked out of the mansion and began the inspection and acceptance of the second city wall of Shanhai County under the company of the director of construction, Zhao Dewang.
After 40 days, the second city wall was finally completed. The city gate, the tower, the arrow tower, and the other facilities were all completed and ready for use.
This was because the two city walls did not form the standard 'hui' shape. Instead, the 'kou' shape on the outside was aligned with the 'kou' shape on the inside. Therefore, the east and west gates of the second city wall were aligned with the north gate of the first city wall. They were completely staggered from the east and west gates of the first city wall to increase their defensive capabilities.
As for the North Gate, although it was on the same central axis, due to the existence of the inner city river, the two North Gates were three kilometers apart. Therefore, in terms of defense, the North Gate was not inferior to the East Gate and the West Gate.
When Sun Xiaoyue and the rest arrived in July, they would see a brand new Shanhai County. It would be the largest city in the world so far.
After returning to the mansion, Ouyang Shuo read in his office for a while.
There were still many things that needed to be done in Ouyang Shuo's plan to upgrade to a level-2 county. However, as the immigration was approaching, Ouyang Shuo did not have the energy to start these plans before the immigration was completed.
At six in the evening, Ouyang Shuo returned to the backyard and went offline with Bing'er.
After coming out of the gaming capsule, the siblings had their last breakfast at home.
"Baby, do you remember what I said?" Ouyang Shuo reminded her.
Bing'er nodded hard and said in a crisp voice, "Remember, don't mention anything about the game to anyone, including aunty. Don't worry, I'm a good girl. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and brought Bing'er out with their pathetically small luggage. They boarded the driverless air bus that was specially prepared by the Union Government and went straight to Shanghai. As for their gaming capsules, they were sent directly to the Shanghai Airport through the distribution channel.
At ten in the morning, Ouyang Shuo arrived in Shanghai and met up with his aunty.
After a simple lunch at his aunty's house, they took the bus to the airport together.
As there were many passengers, they did not wait until the first of July to board the ship together. Instead, they arranged for the passengers to board the ship from that day onwards.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to stay in his aunt's house any longer, so he decided to board the ship today.
Before departing, they had already changed into the spacesuits issued by the Federation Government at their aunt's house. This type of spacesuit was actually very light. It was no different from sportswear.
When they arrived at the airport, it was already overcrowded. Fortunately, there were troops maintaining order at the scene.
Ouyang Shuo, Bing'er, Lin Jing, and Xie Siyun lined up to board the ship. They waited in line until 5: 30 pm before it was their turn to board the ship.
Under the guidance of the robot, Ouyang Shuo brought Bing'er into his gaming cabin. Then, the robot was responsible for transporting the gaming cabin to the designated location.
After entering the gaming cabin, Ouyang Shuo logged into the game. For a long time to come, he would have no contact with reality and would live completely in the game world.
Ouyang Shuo came out of his room and went to Bing'er's room.
Zi Su, the maid, lived in the compartment outside Bing'er's room. Ouyang Shuo's arrival jolted Zi Su awake.
"Master?" Zi Su was puzzled.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "I came to see the Third Miss."
At this time, Bing'er had already gotten up on her own. She ran out and said in a crisp voice, "Brother!"
Ouyang Shuo was afraid that Bing'er wouldn't be able to adapt, so he specially came to comfort her. Seeing that the little girl's mood was stable, he finally relaxed and said with a smile, "Darling, for a long time in the future, we will have to stay in the game world. Are you afraid?"
"No, I'm here. Besides, Bing'er thinks this place is very good. I like it very much. " The little girl was heartless. Perhaps, she really didn't understand what interstellar migration meant.
While the siblings were talking, Zi Su had already left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare hot water for Bing'er to wash up. At the same time, she ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Seeing that Bing'er was fine, Ouyang Shuo returned to his room and washed up with Ban Xia's help. Then, he picked up his refined iron spear and began his unshakable morning training in the courtyard.
After washing up, Bing'er stood in the corridor and watched her brother practice martial arts with great interest.
This kind of morning training had become a daily routine for the siblings.
At 10 am, Ouyang Shuo arrived at the lord's office on time. He ordered the clerk, Bai Nanpu, to call the chief of the War Readiness Division, Zhao Youfang, over.
After Zhao Youfang came in, he seemed a little reserved. This chief of the War Readiness Division had been neglected by Ouyang Shuo for a long time. He didn't know why Ouyang Shuo summoned him this time.
Ouyang Shuo sat in the main seat and looked at the reserved Zhao Youfang. He felt a little emotional.
Half a year had passed, and the sand had been washed away. Zhao Youfang, who originally looked smart, was embarrassed to take on such a big responsibility. The originally dull Zhao Dewang managed the construction division in an orderly manner and was praised by Ouyang Shuo many times.
The original batch of elders in Shanhai Village held important positions, but they had basically reached the limit of their abilities.
Zhao Dexian, the former chief of Zhaojiagou Village, was already at his limit as the Pool District Magistrate. When the Pool District was promoted to a county, Ouyang Shuo would definitely replace someone as the County Magistrate.
Zhao Dewang's position as the chief was the limit. At most, he would have the opportunity to seek for a position as the County Magistrate. As for Zhao Youfang, as the territory continued to be promoted, it was hard to say whether he could keep his position as the chief.
An official was different from a general. Without the corresponding knowledge, it would be difficult to achieve great things by just relying on experience.
Ouyang Shuo passed the 'Military Ration Pill Manufacturing Technical Manual' and 'Military Tent Manufacturing Technical Manual' that he bought previously to Zhao Youfang and said, "Chief Zhao, the War Readiness Division will be responsible for the production of Military Ration Pills and Military Tents. In addition to the scaling ladders, the War Readiness Division will need to produce more and more war resources. The War Readiness Division can work with the Construction Division to build a military factory outside the city to produce military resources. "
"Yes!" Zhao Youfang replied respectfully.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said in a gentle tone, "Youfang, you can't be like this. You don't have any drive. Where did the chief who dared to express his opinion go? I want to hear your opinion on the construction of the military factory and not just be a yes-man. "
Zhao Youfang was stunned. He felt a little emotional. This period of experience was also a test for his state of mind. If he could get through it, he might be able to rise from the ashes.
Zhao Youfang knew that this was the last chance His Excellency was giving him. If he couldn't grasp it, then he would really sink to the bottom.
In fact, when he received the 'Scaling Ladder Manufacturing Technical Manual', Zhao Youfang already had some ideas. This was because the manufacturing of the scaling ladders required a large workshop. After the redesign of the county, every area had its own clear function.
Zhao Youfang thought about it but couldn't find a suitable place to build a workshop. Since it wouldn't work in the city, Zhao Youfang shifted his attention to the outside. The only thing he had to worry about was safety.
"Does His Excellency remember the cave where the Fierce Flaming Oil was stored?" Zhao Youfang probed.
Ouyang Shuo's heart stirred and he said uncertainly, "You mean that you want to build the factory inside the cave? Did you find a suitable cave? "
Seeing that His Excellency was interested, Zhao Youfang gradually became more confident and said, "That's right. When the Fierce Flaming Oil was stored, this subordinate specially investigated and found that there were many such natural caves at the foot of the rocky mountain range. These caves were of different sizes and were of different heights. The cave was as big as the Shanhai Town from before. The highest parts of the caves were more than twenty meters high, and the average was more than five meters. What's more, there were underground rivers in some of the caves. The water source was abundant and the air circulation was smooth. Therefore, this subordinate thought that it would be a good choice to build the factory in the caves. It can be put to use as long as we make some modifications. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded. It seemed that he had previously neglected the wealth hidden in the rocky mountain range. The first place to use caves should be the winemaking workshop. It was used to store the Three Flower Wine and let it age well.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Next was the cave where the Fierce Flaming Oil was stored. Because this matter was handled by the Combat Division, Ouyang Shuo didn't go to the site to investigate. He didn't know that such caves were actually common.
He didn't expect that Zhao Youfang was a perceptive person and keenly noticed the strategic use of the caves.
"Not bad, Youfang, your suggestion is very good. I approve." Ouyang Shuo immediately made the decision.
If the factory could be built in the caves, it would naturally be the best choice. In this way, not only would they not need to occupy the limited land in the city, but they would also be very safe.
What's more, if it was built in the caves, it would be very hidden and could easily escape the detection of spies.
"Yes!" Zhao Youfang replied loudly. This time, he was much more confident than before.
After Zhao Youfang left, Ouyang Shuo was still thinking about the caves. In his opinion, it was necessary to arrange for the Construction Division to do a thorough investigation of the caves in the territory.
In modern society, this kind of cave would be a natural air-raid shelter, and also an excellent military base. Whether it was for military production or weapons research and development, it would be very suitable.
He couldn't be muddle-headed again and let this precious wealth go to waste. Of course, after the investigation was done, the use of the caves needed to be planned systematically. They couldn't just rush into it.
Ouyang Shuo immediately wrote an approval letter detailing his arrangements. Then, he called the secretary, Bai Nanpu, and asked him to pass it to the director of the Construction Division, Zhao Dewang. (To be continued.)
