Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1145 Route Planning
The opening of this railway directly connects the central area of ​​Black Moon City with the northeast region, causing the transportation efficiency between the two places to soar like a rocket.

Originally, starting from Black Moon City, even a small-scale cavalry team would need at least a week to reach the northeastern border at full speed.

If we use a transport team, this time will be further significantly extended due to the overall transportation efficiency.

Now, with the steam train, it only takes three days to get from Black Moon City to the northeastern border! This actual improvement in transportation efficiency is more than just doubling it.
This will undoubtedly be a huge help to the massive construction projects in Northeast China, enough to significantly speed up the overall development efficiency of the Northeast region.

Although the construction scale of the southern region of Da Zhou is larger at this stage, everyone knows that the entire development focus of Da Zhou has now shifted towards the northeast region.

In fact, this is indeed a wise choice.

Whether considering external factors such as the Allied Forces and the Greenskins, or internal factors such as the Northeast's environment and railway transportation, the Northeast region now has a higher development priority.

As for the southern region, it is also developing and constructing at a leisurely pace.

But the problems they are facing have been mentioned before. The land is large and there are many troubles. The entire plan has to be changed every now and then, causing many construction teams to be unable to start construction.

There is nothing wrong in adjusting your focus appropriately, putting troublesome things aside, and doing what you can do first.

The Northeast region has become very lively nowadays, and Zhou Xu has not been idle recently either, after their Great Zhou's '001' steam locomotive was officially put into use.

With the completion of this major project, a large number of workers who were originally engaged in laying the railway tracks were suddenly freed up.

Zhou Xu had no intention of leaving them idle. In fact, long before the completion of steam locomotive No. 001, Zhou Xu had already begun to think about where to place the second steam locomotive.

He had two choices in mind for this problem.

One is to arrange it to the New South District and the New North District.

The most significant effect of connecting these two areas is that it can greatly improve the efficiency of support for the plain fortress.

If the plain fortress in the New North District is attacked by greenskins again, if there is a steam locomotive in the New South District, it goes without saying how fast the entire support efficiency will be.

The second is arranged for the southern region. There is no need to say more about the development projects in the southern region.

If you want to be rich, build roads first!
Building railways is more effective!

Once a railway is successfully opened in the southern region, the overall development efficiency will inevitably be greatly improved.

Of these two options, the former focuses on military support and does not have a significant impact on the development of the two regions.

Because Zhou Xu had already developed the New South District and the New North District in the early days, and now most of the labor force of their Great Zhou is in the southern and northeastern regions, there will not be any major projects in the New South District and the New North District in the short term.

The focus of the latter is undoubtedly entirely on development and construction, and the border line in the south has been pushed to the sea.

Once a war breaks out and unidentified ships are discovered, their Great Zhou's naval fleet will immediately intercept and kill them outside the border.

In other words, even if a war breaks out, it will be a naval battle. The inland army has not received any relevant training and has no warships. How much use can they be in a naval battle?
Not to mention that after solving the problem of the ratmen, the southern border has been peaceful over the years.

In this way, unlike the Northeast region, which can promote development and provide military support, Zhou Xu can only choose one of the two. Zhou Xu thought about it and finally chose the South!

After all, it is a peaceful time now, so his focus must still be on development and construction.

As for the New North Plains Fortress...

To be honest, after the dwarves of Copperforge tightened their blockade, Shi Lei was able to handle any small greenskin troops that managed to sneak in, so he was not under much pressure.

Instead of adding icing on the cake for the New Taipei City, it would be better to provide timely assistance to the southern region.

In this way, this new project was established early. As soon as the railway in Black Moon City was completed, after giving the staff a few days off and rewarding them, the entire railway engineering team immediately moved to the southern region.

Zhou Xu had already considered the railway route in the southern region.

There is no need to start laying the road from Black Moon City.

Starting from Black Moon City, although it is possible to connect the railways in the two areas together to form a larger railway network, it is actually not necessary at present.

According to Zhou Xu's idea, the engineering team would go directly to the southern border factory area to set up a factory train station, and start laying the railway from there, all the way from the rainforest area to the southern border.

Because there is a waterway from Black Moon City to there.

Instead of going around in a long circle to build a railway through the grassland area, the water route is the shortest route. Their cargo ships depart from the Black Moon Port and go downstream, reaching the factory port in just two hours.

After unloading the goods at the port, they are transferred to the railway station which is also located in the factory area and can be immediately sent to the southern region.

Even the factory area itself is an area where factories are clustered, producing a large amount of construction resources for the southern border.

After having this railway plan, Zhou Xu will definitely make great efforts to develop around the factory area, add more production plants, and expand the scale of the factories to make the output efficiency of the factories higher.

At that time, these resources produced by the factories in the factory area can be directly loaded onto trains and transported to the construction site as soon as they leave the factory. The main focus is on high efficiency.

Putting this situation aside, the factory is connected to Qingshui Lake, and in addition to being connected to Black Moon Port, Qingshui Lake is also connected to Green Forest Port!
Behind Green Forest Port is the New South District!

On the factory side, once the railway is opened, most areas of their Great Zhou can be connected by water and rail!
Allow the population, military forces and materials of each region to be transferred efficiently!

At this moment, the entire transportation plan surrounding the water and land routes of their Great Zhou for the next ten or even dozens of years became increasingly clear in Zhou Xu's mind.

This feeling of inspiration flowing like a spring made Zhou Xu lose interest in doing other things all of a sudden, and he devoted himself directly to the entire route planning.

I didn't feel relieved until I had planned the entire route and felt satisfied with it.

During this period, the temperature in Black Moon City gradually rose, and before we knew it, it had completely entered the midsummer season.

On this day, in the early hours of the morning, a baby's cry broke the tranquility of the Summer Palace. The baby in Yalvette's belly was born that night!
