CHAPTER 217: CHAPTER 214: CONSTRUCTION FRENZY, MARIE ARRIVES (DOUBLE-LENGTH CHAPTER)

[Construction Time: 9 hours 26 minutes]

[Area: 800 square meters]

[Durability Value: 1500]

[Building Armor: 25]

(A medium-sized bathhouse that can meet the hygiene needs of the subjects, maintain body cleanliness, reduce the spread of diseases, and increase the happiness of the subjects)

[Low Temperature Cold Storage Construction Blueprint (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent (Special) Human Building]

[Requirements: Stone ×100, Wood ×80, Iron ×80, Copper ×35, Secret Silver ×15, Basic Ice Gemstone ×1, Basic Water Rune ×2, Basic Magic Core ×1]

[Construction Time: 5 hours 16 minutes]

[Activates the energy of ice gemstones using the Magic Core to maintain a low-temperature state inside the building, allowing for the storage of food, meat, and other perishable items, requiring continuous Magic Energy consumption]

[Area: 100 square meters]

[Height: 5 meters]

[Magic Energy: 0/3000]

[Magic Energy Consumption per Second: 0.01]

[Durability Value: 1000]

[Building Armor: 35]

(A Magic Energy Technology Building that requires continuous consumption of Magic Energy Value, greatly extending the shelf life of food and the preservation of ingredients)

[Tier One City Gate Construction Blueprint]

[Quality: Ordinary (White)]

[Requirements: Wood ×150, Hemp Rope ×10]

[Construction Time: 2 hours 24 minutes]

[Area: 4 meters high × 20 meters long × 20 centimeters wide]

[Durability Value: 1300]

[Armor Value: 18]

[A basic wooden city gate with a certain defensive capability, essential as a foundational building for Tier Two City Gates]

(Congratulations, your city wall defense line is finally complete)

[Deep Well Construction Blueprint]

[Quality: Ordinary (White)]

[Requirements: Stone ×120, Hemp Rope ×3, Wooden Bucket ×1, Basic Water Rune ×1]

[Construction Time: 8 hours 27 minutes]

[A deep well that can access underground living water]

[Depth: 10 meters~105 meters]

[Durability Value: 500]

[Building Armor: 10]

(Underground water sources tend to be cleaner than surface water sources. Building a deep well can increase the territory’s water supply)

All five construction blueprints are practical buildings; whether it’s a bathhouse, training ground, or cold storage, they all have significant uses. Unfortunately, Zong Shen doesn’t have enough Basic Water Runes and Fire Runes on hand and needs to collect more.

Currently, he can only afford to build the Tier One Training Ground and the Tier One City Gate.

Besides these construction blueprints, Zong Shen also has a manufacturing blueprint on hand.

[Water Purification Device Manufacturing Blueprint (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent (Blue)]

[Requirements: Iron ×60, Copper ×15, Secret Silver ×8, Basic Elemental Crystal ×10, Basic Water Rune ×1]

[Manufacturing Time: 1 hour 36 minutes]

[A water purification device that can purify water quality, remove impurities and toxins from water, requiring periodic replacement of Water Runes]

[Basic Water Rune Purification Lifespan: 120 hours]

(The safety issue of water resources needs to be taken seriously, especially in times of war when crazed opponents often target the territory’s water sources)

This gadget is a water purification device that can filter water resources to ensure water quality safety.

However, it won’t be needed in the short term; once the runes are abundant, one can be manufactured for filtering the territory’s water usage.

Among these blueprints, Zong Shen can currently build only the training ground and city gate. The bathhouse requires Water Runes and Fire Runes, the cold storage requires Ice Magic Gemstones and Water Runes, even the well and water purifier require Water Runes. The shortage of these runes is truly significant.

Zong Shen called San Pang through the Communication Crystal, bringing a few farmers first to the south of the Lord’s Courtyard.

He placed the Tier Four Giant Cannon Tower beside the Sentry Tower.

As long as it’s not charged, the Giant Cannon Tower won’t automatically activate, and usually, the Giant Cannon Tower is kept in a closed state, as explosion damage doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe, and automatic attacks might damage the territory.

To the south of the courtyard, there are still large open spaces available for deploying some new buildings.

Anyway, the internal planning around the courtyard is temporarily like this. Once the Burrow Challenge is over, Zong Shen will initiate territorial expansion and simultaneous large-scale area planning, eventually constructing a large city wall to form the prototype of a large territory and city.

Zong Shen placed the [Tier One Training Ground] on the open ground to the south, letting a farmer begin construction on the spot, then he moved to the living quarters, upgrading 9 of the newly built 35 Grass Huts to Tier Two Houses, totaling 30 Tier Two Houses in the territory.

Several rows of houses are neatly arranged within the territory, and it exudes a sense of bustling life.

Then, he went to the farmland, placing 2 more blocks of Basic-Level Fertile Land next to the original 8 blocks of Basic-Level Fertile Land, which came from the blueprints found in the mine.

There are now 10 blocks of Basic-Level Fertile Land in total. The wheat, potatoes, and tomatoes planted earlier have already grown, and crops in the Basic-Level Fertile Land with growth-enhancing effects grow much faster than on Earth.

It’s believed that within a few months, the territory can eat the grains and vegetables it grows.

After dealing with the farm matters, Zong Shen went to the gaps in the four city walls, removed the road barriers, and began constructing the city gates.

He placed four city gates in the reserved gaps, and all the road barriers were moved out, blocking the sides of the city gates.

The fifth round of the construction frenzy officially begins, with every round of construction making the territory more complete.

From a lonely dilapidated courtyard gradually transforming into a complete territory with city walls, arrow towers, houses, pastures, farmland, and other buildings, now the territory finally looks like something.
