Chapter 449: Chapter 208: Great Xia Sacred Pattern, Building Upgrades (Part 3)
Worries are even simpler!
The resources needed for the next upgrade of these buildings are not only absurdly abundant, but also require silver mines.
The problem is, Great Xia still doesn’t know what a silver mine looks like!
Xia Hong shook his head slightly, casting his gaze on the final Black Soil Wall.
100 wood, 20 iron can be exchanged for one meter.
All 50,000 meters exchanged would mean 5 million wood, 1 million iron.
[Resource: Wood 2 million Coal 2.76 million Iron 1.2 million Silver 0 Gold 0]
It turns out to be impossible to exchange all at once.
Looking at the remaining resources in the system, Xia Hong shook his head slightly.
The Black Soil Wall’s defense capabilities are strong; before Xia Hong leaves the camp, it must be exchanged, fortunately only lacking wood, the problem shouldn’t be too big.
The resources in the system can be freely extracted and manifested, there should be plenty of surplus wood in the valley to use, with Great Xia’s current ability to acquire wood resources, 3 million shouldn’t be too difficult.
“The valley’s terrain is uniquely suited for defense, 50,000 meters might not even be necessary, some can be allocated to exchange Yellow Earth and start attempting to transplant those useful vegetation, saving the Harvesting Department from traveling far to Redwood Ridge and Wuyuan to gather fruits, additionally Bamboo Silk from the Arrow Bamboo Forest can be transplanted to the valley front for easier collection…”
With the building upgrades completed, Xia Hong began to toast and drink with the people in the hall, simultaneously contemplating how to utilize the remaining resources.
Whether for his future cultivation or to gather information about gold and silver mines, this expedition is imperative.
Therefore, preparations before setting out naturally must be thorough.
Although the Cold Element Festival lasts fifteen days, the grand feast cannot go on.
This grand feast consumed various resources, causing Qiu Peng, the Camp Supply Department Director, to frequently complain to Xia Chuan, if it continues for two more feasts, he’d probably curse.
However, even though the grand feast ended, the festive atmosphere in Great Xia Valley continued for several days.
After the entire camp celebrated, it was time for each household’s small gatherings.
Once the outposts in Wuyuan and Jing Valley were established, many Hunting Team and Harvesting Department personnel went to these outposts, returning only every few months, catching this good festival, they naturally gathered well.
This celebratory atmosphere continued until the tenth of January.
On the night of January tenth, people of Great Xia discovered that the valley’s iron gate, originally supposed to be sealed until the fifteenth of January, had surprisingly opened early.
Starting from that night, for the following three nights, Xia Hong would lead both the Hunting and Craftsman Departments, totaling over two thousand people, out of the valley iron gate, busy with unknown activities.
Until five days later, the first day after the Cold Element Festival, on January 16th of the Second Year of Great Xia, people who exited the valley iron gate after half a month, were amazed to find a giant black soil wall standing on the camp’s west side.
“Is this what the leader has been busy with these days?”
“Oh… this wall, must be ten meters high, right?”
“It’s built along the mountain wall, almost reaching Redwood Ridge.”
“Not almost, the front section has clearly extended into Redwood Ridge already.”
“It’s true, it has entered Redwood Ridge, I heard that once the valley’s land is all sold out, building houses in the future will have to be outside the valley.”
“This wall is so thick, come quickly and see.”
“Follow me, the city gate is on the west side here, come on.”
“Let’s go, to the west side, the wall is there.”
“The leader seems to be here today as well.”
The first ones to see the wall mostly belong to the Logging Realm of the camp, such a magnificent wall naturally left them awestruck repeatedly, if Xia Chuan hadn’t specially sent people to lead the way, they might not have found the city gate.
