Extraordinary Mechanical City

Three days later.

The rugged mountain road from the Sid Empire to the Black Dragon City.

A group of thousands of people walked in groups, carefully crossing the Alcoron Mountains that were ravaged by Warcraft.

"So there really is a pass here, this map is really accurate..."

"I thought this road was very dangerous. I didn't expect that after we passed this'Black Dragon Pass', we basically didn't encounter any large monsters. This is much easier than the road to Glory City..."

"Yeah, it always feels strange. This road seems to have been cleared..."

"..."

This is a team that gathers merchants, hunting groups, and refugees. Most of the people in the team came with the purpose of "opening up wasteland", "being the first to eat crabs", and "searching for roads".

Unexpectedly, the road over the mountains was much safer than expected.

The misty area in the southwest of the Sid Empire next to the Alcolon Mountains has always been a high-risk area, and the casualty rate of wild hunting is very high. They also didn't think that after walking out of the Sid border and going deep into the mountains, the frequency of encounters with beasts became lower and lower.

The first half was a bit dangerous, but the second half was getting safer.

"What can be weird?"

"Did you not see that after we passed the'Black Dragon Pass', blue-tailed eagles and flying dragons passed by from time to time in the sky? I thought it was a passing monster before, but I saw that there were people on the flying dragon just now and I realized that things were not easy."

"You mean, Feilong dispelled all the monsters on this mountain road?"

"Yeah. That should be the "Flying Dragon Legion" in the legend of Black Dragon City. Haven't you heard about the grand battle of the "Black Wind Leader" in Glory City? Thousands of flying dragons descended from the sky and directly captured a large city..."

"Oh, I also heard about it. But... Since the Black Dragon City is a city where barbarians live, will it lie to me and eat us as food? I heard that barbarians like to eat Human."

"Your news is too backward. The'Black Dragon City' was established by the princess Yumir of Omar, and the platform'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce', how could it be a barbarian city? I guess, what barbarians should be slaves to war? Right..."

"I've also heard that those barbarian dragon knights actually have no malicious intent to our civilians. At least before, in the'War of the Black Wind Collar', they did not harm any civilians at all."

"What's the specific situation? I'll know when I go. Our head is still waiting for me to go and send a message back. If the actual situation of the'Black Dragon City' is really as the intelligence said, the big army can make a fortune..."

"..."

Because it didn't encounter any high-level monster attacks, this team moved quickly.

On this day, just after noon, a male city they saw appeared in their vision.

Towering steam boiler chimneys, thick city walls constructed of rivets and steel plates, jumbled artillery, neatly planned street houses...

Because the city is on the ground, the scale of the city in front of you is even much larger than the area of ​​some large territories!

"This... my God, there really is a city here!"

"Go! Let's go and see..."

"..."

The moment they saw this giant city, the first group of people who came to Black Dragon City immediately realized that the intelligence was true.

With such a city settled, it means that the wilderness hunting group can have a solid shelter here.

Machine City, this is the basis for all conditions to be established.

Originally, they wanted to hunt waste in the land west of the Alcron Mountains, so they had to go to Glory City.

Now, there is one more choice!

.......

"Don't be crowded, please line up to enter the city!"

At the gate of Black Dragon City, there are municipal officials who have been waiting for a long time. They are responsible for registering the people entering the city and explaining the instructions for entering the city.

Because not many people came on the first day, so soon everyone entered the city.

The "permanent residents" in the city are those craftsmen who participated in the construction of the Black Dragon City. They were also low-level civilian craftsmen from the two empires before, and even when asked, some of them were related to some of the first batch of refugees.

In this chat, the facts soon became clear to everyone.

"What, the entrance fee is so cheap! This is only one-tenth of the Guanghui City!"

"Taxes are also real? Only about 10%?"

"It is true that permanent residents enjoy the benefits of medical care, education, and potions? If you contribute to the city, will you be eligible for permanent residents?"

"Anyone can join the army, without nobles? Can they become permanent residents if they meet the conditions?"

"Oh my God, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was true..."

"..."

The hunters and the refugees seemed to have entered a dream country. They looked east and west in the city, becoming more and more shocked.

There are not many shops on both sides of the street that are open for business, but the merchandise in the showcase is ecstatic.

In the potion shop, there are all kinds of extraordinary potions, from Tier 1 to Tier 5.

The point is... the price is still very cheap!

Now no matter the two empires or the Glory City, the potions are monopolized by the nobles in the profiteering industry. If civilians want to afford a potion, they need to spend decades of work and save their savings.

And here, it's only less than one-tenth of the price!

This price also means that even if the potion fit is not high enough, and many failed advancements, everyone will have the opportunity to advance to the extraordinary.

Because taxes in the city are extremely low, everyone can earn contribution points and income from their own work.

(In the early stage, Black Dragon City will use the previous contribution model of Glory City to sell most of the goods in the city. So as not to be exploited by the old nobles and disrupt the market with their huge capital advantage.)

Moreover, not only potions, but also a variety of high-level demon materials, alchemy materials...

In the machine shop, there are also various high-end mechanic equipment, four-cylinder and six-cylinder steam-powered boilers, mechanical arms, high-power guns, and various high-precision mechanical parts.

Its technological level has even reached the military level of the two empires...

This is a high-end mechanical equipment that can't be bought anywhere else!

There is also the [Black Mist Detoxifier] that can solve the sequelae of the black mist, which is also available in unlimited quantities here!

Seeing all the things in front of them, the first group of people who came to Black Dragon City looked excited one by one. They can't wait to participate in the hunting city construction task immediately, earn contribution points to buy these items.

.......

After the visit, the supervisors of the chambers of commerce from various chambers of commerce and large and small, as well as the advance teams of those large-scale hunting groups, eagerly rented the communication equipment in the city and contacted the headquarters.

The situation is true, come quickly.

The hunting team needs a large number of people to open up wasteland and seize first-hand resources...

The Chamber of Commerce needs a lot of funds to purchase leased shops, and the Chamber of Commerce needs to mobilize a large number of commodities...

Everyone saw the huge business opportunities in this city!

Compared with other cities, the various conditions of this Black Dragon City are simply heaven.

It is conceivable that after the news spreads, there will definitely be a massive influx of refugees...At that time, the city's commerce will become a "blowout" state.

This group of people is also fortunate that they are the first group to come here!

......

On the tower, Ren and Ymir stood there, looking at the thousands of people pouring into the city, their eyes gleaming.

The scale of the city is large enough. The arrival of these thousand people did not cause too many disturbances, but it also injected a trace of new vitality into this emerging city.

"The first batch of refugees will come, and there will be a steady stream of people coming..."

"Well. Our advantage is great. Once the news spreads, even if the two empires block the border, it will not stop the development of our Black Dragon City."

"In the next half month, I estimate that at least a million people will come in. They will bring a lot of materials, and then we can start to build some new small mechanical cities. Our Black Dragon City will become more and more powerful. .."

"Ok."

"..."

The rise of Black Dragon City has become unstoppable.

From the day this city was planned and established, it was destined to become a "unique" existence.

This is a true "Free City".

In other aristocratic cities, the two empires or the current glorious cities, all policies and laws are for the nobles, and they are all aimed at exploiting every cent of the hard-earned money of civilians as much as possible.

But Rehn, a traverser, knows very well that flow and population represent prosperity.

There are extraordinary powers in this world. As long as the common people are advanced and extraordinary, and the efficiency of hunting and planting is extremely high, they will never have the problem of food shortage.

After worry-free food and clothing, spiritual enjoyment is the real big profit.

Instead of exploiting the few potatoes that common people and old farmers fill their stomachs, it is better to put tax on this.

For example, in his previous life, tobacco, alcohol, various entertainment industries... things that improve the quality of life and provide for people's enjoyment are the industries that can really get rich.

After the hunters have surplus money in their hands, the various entertainment industries in the city will explode.

Commercial tax will become the bulk of the city's income, which will be a virtuous circle, making the territory more and more prosperous.

Moreover, Black Dragon City is not without a monopoly.

What they monopolize is the high-end market.

High-end machinery, high-end materials, high-end potions, and rich mineral resources...

Things that others don't have, and those that have technical barriers, are the most profitable ones.

Therefore, the take-off of Black Dragon City is unstoppable, and no one can stop it.

Moreover, the two empires could not imitate, they could only watch the population loss.

This is a problem of the system itself, even if other cities know about the various welfare policies of Black Dragon City, they cannot follow up by imitating them.

It is impossible for the veteran nobles to give up their rights.

And there are a large number of nobles in every territory.

The "expensiveness" of the nobility is reflected in the exploitation of civilians.

Where do the nobles who do not have high taxes, do not work or hunt wasteland, come from?

Taking 10,000 steps back and saying that it really has a territory to follow up all the policies of the Black Dragon City, it also doesn't help.

Black Dragon City has the unique geographical location, technology and resources advantages of the "Karateva Basin", which no territory can compare.

The only one that is somewhat competitive is the City of Glory.

It's a pity that now it has just established a country, and the people of the five major families are not sitting on the chairs of the nobles. You let them give up the rights of the nobility and give the common people a profit?

impossible!

It's impossible to kill!

With so many nobles, the kingdom would immediately collapse if the noble physique was abolished.

If the impact of Glory City on the two empires is like a ditch drained from the dam; and the existence of the Black Dragon City, it directly opened a dam breach to the dam...

......

Among the first group of thousands of people who came to the Black Dragon City, in addition to the refugees and hunters who came to explore the way, naturally there were some guys with unpredictable hearts.

Among them, the spy personnel of the Sid Empire came naturally at the first time.

There are a few sneaky guys in the city entering the team. They don't care about the welfare policy like everyone else, but look at the city defense facilities in a sneaky way.

The more they watched, the more surprised they became.

The more you inquire, the cooler you are.

In fact, when the [Kuroshio] broke out before, there was already a large-scale population flow to Glory City. Neither the closure of the border nor the amendment of the law can stop the population from passing away.

However, as the exploitation policy became more and more severe after the establishment of the Guanghui, this trend has been greatly eased.

The independent Glory City followed the trend and merged into the aristocratic world.

Unexpectedly, a wave of unrest occurred again.

Now there is a more terrifying "Black Dragon City"!

Even people who don't understand politics, seeing the various policies of Black Dragon City, know that something is not good.

This will fundamentally shake the social system of centralized monarchy!

"Damn it, the princess Omar really built this city! Hurry up and send a telegram to the imperial capital, report the situation here, let your majesty make a decision. If it is late, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of the empire. ..."

"Team leader, should we send troops to block the pass first and forbid the refugees from coming?"

"Blocked? The lesson of the black wind collar is not enough? Don't look at the pass, although there is no guard post, but you haven't seen the dragonflight army? How many people must be sent to withstand the attack of the dragonflight? Besides, the pass belongs to the black dragon city. Territory, sending troops here, intending to declare war directly? Do you think that in this mountain war, the Imperial Legion can beat the barbarians and the Flying Dragon Legion, and this city?"

"..."

If the problem could be solved by fighting, then Guanghui City would have long ceased to exist.

This special geographical environment makes it impossible for the large mechanical city to climb over the mountains.

With the army alone, it is impossible to destroy the "Black Dragon City" with its walls and artillery erected.

.......

Just as Rennes and the others expected, the population of Black Dragon City exploded like a "blowout".

Eight thousand people entered the city on the first day, twenty thousand the next day... By the tenth day, it suddenly became one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand...

On the mountain road from the Sid border to the Black Dragon City, there is an influx of refugees almost all the time.

In the sky, flying dragon army patrols around the clock.

At first, there were some treacherous forces who were intent on making trouble, but as soon as they were discovered, they would be taken away by the flying dragon.

There is no Warcraft raid, no strange thief, and the road is almost unimpeded. Because of this, ordinary civilians who were worried about the danger on the road also flocked in large numbers...

Just one month later, the Black Dragon City has skyrocketed from 50,000 to 60,000 to three million!

Moreover, the population is increasing at a rate of hundreds of thousands every day.

There are a large number of craftsmen among these refugees. They can gather stones to build houses, mine, and forge iron...

It is also because the urban construction provides a large number of jobs for the refugees, and also allows the civilians who are not extraordinary to go out hunting wasteland, but can live on their own hands.

Originally, the craftsmen earned a day in other territories and collected 90% of the tax. The rest is enough to eat, and it is not easy to live;

In Black Dragon City, the tax rate was only 10% after a day of work, and most of the money fell into his pocket.

Because of this, the common people also have surplus money, they can go to the tavern in the city to spend, buy more clothes, delicious food...

The business in the city was revitalized almost overnight.

Various large and small chambers of commerce organized one team after another to continuously transport materials to Black Dragon City.

Those refugees will also choose to bring some materials that are urgently needed for the construction of the city at this stage. The accumulation of sand becomes a tower. Millions of people each bring a few kilograms of steel, which is the amount needed to build a small mechanical city...

This can be compared to the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" alone to adjust the quality of the animal, and the efficiency is a hundred times, a thousand times higher.

As for ordinary civilians, with money and contribution points, they can easily buy from the potion shop in the city until the elementary potion, advanced and extraordinary.

The grand occasion of the once "universal extraordinary" of Glory City has reappeared in Black Dragon City, and it is even worse.

The former Glory City was just a "temporary place" for wild hunters to hunt wild, and there was no chance for ordinary civilians to survive.

But there are in Black Dragon City!

No oppression, no exploitation, everyone is equal...

This is a true "City of Freedom and Equality"!

In less than a month, those refugees who originally wanted to "get rich" have changed. Almost all of them have changed their goal to "become a permanent resident of Black Dragon City" and actively participate in labor and hunting. Desolate, join the army...

The life that can be expected in the future can maximize the motivation and potential of the leaders to actively produce...

The area of ​​the city is getting bigger and bigger, and the efficiency of construction and land reclamation is getting higher and higher...

The Black Dragon City is developing at an unimaginable speed.

.......

The construction of a city must, especially the explosive population growth, there must be various problems.

Medical gaps, housing gaps, chaotic law and order...

This has to be replaced by Rennes's past life, and it will collapse in minutes.

But in this era, the opponent (aristocratic territory) is really not bad. Even if the Black Dragon City is temporarily chaotic, it is so different from other territories.

In the words of the refugees themselves, even if you are a temporary mason in Black Dragon City, you can earn more money than a civilian in other territories!

But these small problems will gradually disappear over time. The management system of Black Dragon City that was several stages ahead of the time also played a huge role in the development of the city.

.......

And on this day, a group of special visitors came to Black Dragon City.

The head is a bearded gray-robed mage.
