Chapter 37: Town centers

Chapter 37 – Town Center
Although the Mystic Technique gave Owen quite a scare, the town center at the end more or less gave him some comfort in his heart.

The value of the town center is not low, even if the progress value reaches thirty, the age of empires, horseback riding and slashing and other games have been fully opened, he can exchange any kind of soldiers and buildings, but the town center of up to thirty points of progress value of the exchange is still let him deterred, don’t forget, the further the progress value of the recovery of the slower, want to wait for the recovery of the progress value of thirty points, there is a long time to wait.

The good thing was that the recovery of progress value from zero to ten became so fast that he could completely replace all the troop types in his territory with higher level troop types.

However, there was no hurry yet, if his attempt was successful, then he would never be in short supply of troop types again.

Because the territory had gathered a large number of people, the original village could no longer meet the demand, and under Maya’s suggestion, Owen very formally signed a document to mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources to start building a town.

This is very risky, after all, during the construction period is unable to work, even if the autumn harvest has been completed, selling work will increase the consumption of food, once unable to support until the next harvest, the entire territory will have to collapse.

The problem was, when Maya showed Owen the amount of food for extra expenses, he showed that he didn’t care, and Maya’s heart was clear about it, obviously his master had an extra source of supplies.

Although the bottom of the heart, but Maya did not come up to boldly carry out the construction, but spent a lot of time to check the terrain, and then draw drawings, while arranging manpower to transport the Flying Dragon Viscounts and other territories of food and supplies, obviously to do enough to prepare for the start of the construction.

This workload is not small, good thing Maya has a good assistant, Ram.

In fact, Owen has not fully understood the role of Ram, he just assembled according to the instructions, when more of the excitement of creating high-level equipoise handpiece, and then felt that the reaction is not real enough, it was thrown to Maya not to listen, proper scum style.

Still under Maya’s in-depth research, Ram’s ability to slowly develop, but not in terms of combat, but calculation.

Ram’s intelligent core in Owen’s opinion is very elementary, even emotions can not be simulated, but this does not mean that Ram’s intelligent core function is weak, his previous life’s computer also does not have intelligence, can you say that the function of the computer is poor, low computational ability?
In this world, Ram Intelligent Core’s operation speed was stronger than the calculation ability of 10,000 shrewd businessmen, and it was more than enough to assist a territory of more than a thousand people.

Maya dictated the design, Ram drew it accurately, and after some revisions, a sheet of drawings and orders were distributed.

Organizing tools, leveling the ground, transporting supplies, stockpiling building materials, everything was in order, the entire territory was running very smoothly, and the first stage had been initially completed.

The so-called first stage was the grass huts, because the vast majority of the territory were serfs, although the grass huts were simple, they were enough for them to be satisfied.

Moreover, now is not the time to pursue perfection, the most important thing is to get through this winter peacefully first.

Because Maya divided the whole town into several areas in advance, it didn’t affect Owen’s plan, the problem was how he could explain the sudden appearance of the town center.

Unlike the previously rewarded blacksmith store, the town center rewarded by the system this time didn’t need to be built, it was directly manifested.

However, the sudden appearance of such a large building could not be explained by the fact that he had to work all night long.

After thinking for half a day, Owen did not think of a way, not to mention that he did not find a reasonable explanation, so he simply did not explain, whoever he likes.

In the middle of the night, Owen slipped out of the city through the secret passage of the underground city under the escort of the Teutonic warriors, and without any delay, he directly materialized the town center in the center of the town.

The process of manifestation was more like an instantaneous movement, but Owen knew that it was not, because the town center had a foundation, and the buildings were built on top of the foundation, which could not be explained by instantaneous movement.

However, Owen didn’t look deeper into this, because he knew that it was just doing useless work, he first looked like a tour to understand the structure of the town center.

The center of the town was like a cake, three stories high, the lower the area the larger. The first floor with the largest area was divided into two, the back was similar to a warehouse, and the front was like a business hall, which was obvious at a glance, there was nothing to see.

The second floor is more elaborate, in addition to a public area, the rest of the area is divided into offices like single rooms, the largest of which is still a suite, and even have a separate bathroom.

Interestingly, Owen found that the toilets in the center of the town had ceramic baked sewer pipes, and water pipes made of copper tubing that allowed easy access to water from the water tower at the top.

In terms of ease of living, this was a better place to live than the castle.

Owen dismissed the idea, though, considering the security.

Half of the third floor was a platform where a water tower was placed, and the other half was a watchtower plus a bell tower.

Although the town center was good, the real function was not just the external buildings, but the attributes bestowed by the system, as long as the attributes were not canceled by the system, even if the external buildings were destroyed a hundred times, as long as they were rebuilt, the attributes would still be able to take effect, so Owen didn’t put too much effort into it.

Sending the alarmed patrols away, Owen began to study the real function of the town center.

After owning a town center, although you couldn’t directly summon peasants with food, you could spend a small amount of progress value to convert the serfs of the territory into system peasants, and one progress value could convert five.

Originally, one progress value could only summon two peasants, this more than doubled it, and was obviously more cost-effective.

The only problem is that this conversion is not unlimited, firstly, it is limited by the number of serfs in the territory, and secondly, it is limited by the population of the town center.

At the moment, the population limit of the first level town center was only 1,000, and the population limit would only be increased after upgrading.

In order to upgrade, in addition to reaching the population limit, there were also enough system buildings to be constructed.

After these conditions were met, a sum of gold and materials needed to be prepared before the town center could be upgraded to the second level.

Owen looked at the conditions and saw that it was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time, so he pushed the matter down for now, and instead thought about how to bring the town center into play as soon as possible, after all, the town center was a treasure of the seeding stream, and the sooner it was brought into play, the better.

Unfortunately, this was not an easy task, because with Owen’s political values, this question was a bit over the top for him, so when he came back to his senses he realized that the sky was surprisingly bright, and Maya had arrived at some point and was waiting outside the door.

The Teutonic warriors didn’t care who you were, no one was allowed near without orders from their masters, and Maya didn’t have the idea of trying her life on, in fact her heart was filled with curiosity.

Before her master’s eccentricities could be explained by finding some trace of them, not today.

The Teutonic warriors, as the top class of soldiers in the imperial era, were not weak even in this world, not to mention that they were organized from the uniform equipment and numbers, and as for their strength, one could tell that they were definitely not weak just from their aura, and could not be nurtured by great nobles who had not inherited them for hundreds of years.

Not to mention this building, even if all the people in the territory were mobilized, it would not be possible to build it in one night, because construction does not rely on the number of people alone.
