The next day, Tang En took a blueprint and returned to the ruins of Bul-Kathos. He was accompanied by a group of skilled dwarven craftsmen. Of course, the most important thing was that Dicarios also came to make it easier to use the power of the elemental creatures.
"Gods above!"
Seeing the large group of people walking out of the portal, Testero, Sharptooth, and the others were shocked.
Since when could a portal transport so many people?
If a portal could achieve this effect, who would miss the portal?
Tang En's strength was actually this terrifying?!
Noticing their doubtful gazes, Tang En smiled and threw the responsibility to Dicarios. "Let me introduce you. This is the Elemental Lord from the fire elemental world, Sir Dicarios. He is now the supervisor of the Ellington Construction Team."
Looking at the guy who looked no different from a normal person, Testero was stunned.
Fire Elemental Lord?
"Stop joking!"
Testero shook his head. "How could a Fire Elemental Lord be your subordinate —"
Sharptooth stopped him.
"Master Sharptooth?"
"Don't say it."
Sharptooth broke out in cold sweat. He could clearly feel the terrifying power coming from that guy.
"I'm afraid … he really is a Fire Elemental Lord."
Dicarios, who was engrossed in his manga, raised his head and glanced at him. His lips curled into a disdainful sneer. "Stupid creature."
Testero did not dare to interrupt.
Twain smiled and said, "It's all thanks to its power that we can open this portal to transport supplies. If it weren't for it, I'm afraid you and your people would have starved. You should feel lucky."
Testero and Sharptooth both accepted Tang En's explanation.
Tang En asked, "The construction team will be leaving with me soon. Who wants to go?"
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to inspect the nearby environment and choose a suitable place to build New Bul-Kathos."
Tang En said, "But don't worry, the place we chose is not too far from here. The deviation is at most about forty kilometers."
"… What do you mean by a kilometer?"
"It's my fault."
Tang En took out a small book and handed it to Testero. "This is a set of new and standardized measurement standards developed by the Ellington … Umm, the Irus Empire. Now, we are forcing the whole country to use this set of standards. If you want to deal with the Datang Chamber of Commerce in the future, I think you need to know this set of measurement units."
"… I see."
Because there was a pattern to follow, Testero quickly got the hang of it and quickly discovered the convenience of this set of standard units.
"We will also use this unit in the future."
Testero said, "Every subspecies in the Ryan Empire has their own set of measurements. It's quite troublesome to convert them, and it's very inconvenient for trade and governance. If we have this set of standards, it'll be much easier to trade with each other in the future."
Twain smiled brightly. "That would be for the best."
The more races and countries used his standards, the more they could not leave his control in the future. This was very important for his future development plan. Testero obviously did not understand the importance of standards. Of course, even if he did, with the current strength of the Ryan Empire, there was nothing he could do.
Currently, the only Prandal who had the ability to popularize standards and make other countries and races accept them was Tang En. There was no other.
In the end, Testero and Razortooth followed Tang En and the rest onto the Heaven-Breaker and set off. With these local tyrants around, it was quite easy to find a piece of land nearby that was convenient for construction.
Under Testero's suggestion, they finally found a good place about 40 kilometers south of the ruins of Bul-Kathos. Looking down from the sky, the plain was very flat. There was a forest nearby, and it was convenient to obtain wood. It was suitable for building a city. More importantly, the nearby soil was much better than the Grassy Plains. With the help of the elves and fairies, as well as the addition of artificial irrigation facilities, this place could be transformed into a large area of arable land.
For the Ryan Empire, the importance of arable land was self-evident. Therefore, when Tang En pointed at the land below and described his blueprint to Testero, Testero accepted Tang En's suggestion almost without hesitation.
When it came to drawing a big picture, no one in Prandal could compare to Tang En.
After the Heaven Breaker landed, Tang En immediately got to work. As the main designer of the blueprint, he first had to define a large working framework for the construction workers — the construction area and the main building order of New Bul-Kathos.
Tang En floated in the sky, and the ground in front of him trembled and was quickly divided into several neat parts according to his will. The city planning of New Bul-Kathos was similar to that of Ellington, and it was divided according to the function of the buildings. The whole thing was divided into residential areas, business areas, administrative areas, industrial areas, and so on. There were also various public buildings and entertainment buildings interspersed in between, such as public toilets, parks, water stations, garbage disposal centers, and so on.
After the whole framework was completed, Tang En waved his hand, and four huge spatial channels immediately appeared on the ground below. The channels connected the four elemental planes of earth, water, fire, and wind, and many powerful elemental creatures rushed out one after another.
Testero sucked in a breath of cold air. "Hiss, so many elemental creatures!"
What surprised them even more was that when the water elemental creatures and the fire elemental creatures appeared together, they did not fight. Instead, they stood there in neat rows, like soldiers being inspected.
Could it be because …
Testero glanced at Dicarios, who was sitting there quietly.
Only such a powerful Elemental Lord could suppress the elemental creatures below with his own rank.
Dicarios was not reading a manga, but the blueprint and construction steps of the city. As long as he could understand it, he could share it with the elemental creatures, and it would be very easy to control.
Then the elemental creatures began to move.
The earth elemental rumbled towards the center of the planned area, and the ground along the way began to change according to the blueprint. Using the power of the earth elemental creatures, it was simply too easy to build a foundation and walls.
The fire elemental spat out blazing flames, burning the molded soil and rocks into lava. This would remove the impurities inside, and after cooling down, it would greatly increase the sturdiness of the building. Compared to building a house with broken stones, this method was obviously simpler and more reliable.
The wind elemental whistled towards the nearby forest, and the sharp wind blades cut down the thick trees, and then cut them into neat boards according to the needs. The power of the whirlwind was used to transport these boards, which saved a lot of the craftsmen a lot of practice.
The water elemental, with the help of some earth elemental creatures, ran to the side of the city to open up a huge artificial lake. This artificial lake would become an important part of the internal water circulation system of New Bul-Kathos.
The artificial lake could not only adjust the nearby humidity to a certain extent, but also affect the local climate. More importantly, it could provide irrigation water for the transformed farmland in the nearby plains.
This kind of artificial lake project was not something that ordinary people could do. If it were not for the water elemental creatures, perhaps even a legendary champion like Sharptooth could only stare at it helplessly.
Tang En could open a channel to the water elemental realm and fill it with water, but he could not do this forever. The water here would dry up sooner or later.
But with the power of the water elemental creatures, they could use their own talent to sense the location of the underground water and dig a few underground wells at the bottom of the artificial lake. This way, there would be a continuous supply of water. At least for a short time, Nobles Kathos did not have to worry about the water supply.
In fact, Tang En could even use the water here to control the lifeline of New Bul-Kathos, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up on that idea.
Compared to using coercion to conquer a country, he preferred to use soft power to conquer them and let them spontaneously yearn for integration. After all, he came from a civilized world and was a civilized person.
Many bright and dark waterways extended from the artificial lake area. These waterways would be excavated in the second phase of the project and spread throughout the whole of New Bul-Kathos. The humidity of the whole city would reach the standard value, and at the same time, provide sufficient water for the city's greening project.
What the earth elemental creatures were doing now was laying the foundation and digging sewage and rainwater drainage pipes. The bigger the city, the more complicated the drainage system was. Last night, Tang En, Klotto, and Aurelia had been busy for most of the night to design the drainage system. If it were not for the help of Haste, they would not have been able to come up with the blueprint today.
Testero exclaimed, "Incredible, this is incredible!"
In the blink of an eye, the barren plain had become incomparably lively. The framework of the entire city had been outlined by Tang En. The elemental creatures obeyed orders like workers, methodically carrying out their work. The gnome engineers drove the strange automatons along a strange route, and the roads where the automatons passed by became abnormally flat. The dwarven craftsmen planned the later stages of production according to the design drawings. Some of them participated in the construction work, while the others were responsible for supervision and management, and conveying the orders of the commander-in-chief.
The best part was that there was now a magic-powered mobile phone.
Due to the size of the construction site, it was rather troublesome to communicate with each other. However, with the magic-powered mobile phones, the commander-in-chief, who stayed on the Heaven Breaker and oversaw the overall situation, could call him directly if there was a situation. He would immediately receive information and pass on orders.
The efficiency of the construction had increased by more than just a little.
If Testero had doubted whether Tang En was boasting at the beginning, he definitely did not doubt it now. With this terrifying efficiency, a whole new city could be built in a week.
Testero looked deeply at Tang En. The power in this man's hands was too terrifying!
