Alien Knights

Chapter 157: Forge ahead

As of the end of September 1171, the population of Muxi Town officially exceeded 8,000. Looking at the entire Yuexi Plain, in terms of population, this coastal town is already ranked fourth, second only to Silver Ring City, Holy Acropolis and Guyan City.

   The skyrocketing population not only brought economic development to Muxi Town, but also caused a series of social problems.

   First, and possibly the most serious problem, is immigration discrimination. Although Muxi Town does not have any access restrictions on the immigration of immigrants, there is no distinction between old residents and new immigrants, but this does not mean that there are no group differences in Muxi Town.

The residents of    were divided into several factions in private according to the time of migration. Residents who move in earlier occupy better resources. For example, the residence is closer to the town center, the sacred bones of the Muxi Mutual Aid Society are on hand, the accumulation of wealth is faster, the education of children is better, and so on.

   Old residents generally hold a contemptuous or even hostile attitude towards new immigrants. On the one hand, the former believes that the latter has disturbed the security of Muxi Town and also takes up resources; on the other hand, it is because the new immigrants, as cheap labor, compress the employment space of the old residents.

   In addition, there are other issues such as hygiene, infrastructure, and planning. As the administrative center, the Knights of the West, due to the military management method, lacking the necessary political means and public institutions, it is always incapable of dealing with these problems.

   Put aside these social issues first, in terms of public development, several new large-scale buildings have been added to Muxi Town.

   The first one is the Grand Bazaar. Originally, Todd and Joe's plan was a collection of medium-sized markets and warehouses for vendors and merchants to trade. However, due to the establishment of North Island, Muxi Town, and Southern Empire Commercial Road, the scale of the market has been expanded again and again, and finally it has been built into a large-scale market that includes an open-air market, an exchange, a business club, and a goods warehouse.

   The second one is theater. Due to the gradual prosperity of literature and drama in Muxi Town, residents' demands for entertainment and spiritual enjoyment are getting higher and higher. The Muxi Literary Society headed by the writer Hans, in order to change the simple performance venue of the tent, self-funded and built a medium-scale theater. The architectural design imitated the amphitheater of the ancient Tyro period, but the open-air auditorium was changed to a closed type, and the original single-story structure was expanded into a double-story.

   The third one is the library. Huggins connected the monks and books from San Sidro Abbey to Muxi Town. Joe mobilized all the monks to donate more than 5,000 silver coins to the merchants and rich people he knew well, and formally built the Muxi Library. Reading seats and a printing room are set up in the library. The reading room is free for residents of Muxi Town, and the printing room provides services for a fee.

   In addition to the three large public buildings mentioned above, Muxi Town has also renovated defenses, upgraded roads, built parks, and changed the cleaning of the town from the original contracting system to an employment system, which improved the efficiency of public services.

   On the military front, the Musi Knights have occupied one-third of the territory of the Silver Ring Kingdom, plundering a total of 1.25 million silver coins equivalent wealth. The military officials headed by Cumberland proposed to Todd to suspend the pace of expansion and start digesting the land they possessed instead. Especially for such important resource sites as Beishi Mine, once a way is found to be re-mined, it will be a huge driving force for the development of Muxi Town.

   Next is the progress of scientific research. Todd ordered the construction of a research institute in the headquarters of the Knights, and moved most of the experimental equipment and raw material bottles in the experimental building here. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night, he will give a lecture in the college. The content is the basic subjects of past sciences, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., and the lectures are for all researchers.

   Under this arrangement, the scientific research team in Muxi Town has greatly reduced the normal process of scientific cognition, and a large number of works beyond the times have been completed and published. For example, Kendy’s original theory of electric current particles written in common language and Arabic, Ulysses completed the industrial-grade application of gear machinery, Lynn’s gravity and interaction forces, and so on.

   In terms of alien species, the number of alien species in Muxi Town has reached 600, and the number of heirs has exceeded 90. The ability library has expanded from the original 26 kinds of abilities to 47 kinds. Due to the activeness of the heroic lone wolf and the performance of Muxi's defense war, the alien species has gradually been accepted by ordinary people, and the infamy of the devil's posthumous child is hard to hear. The aliens have integrated into normal life in Muxi Town, and have used their abilities in fishing grounds, workshops, handicraft workshops and other places to gain favor and praise from merchants and employers.

   There are good news and bad news in the research of abilities. Let me talk about the bad news first, which is different from ordinary abilities. Rachel’s mental power, Karin’s attachment, and Queen Mary’s super memory. Although the abilities are extremely effective, they can’t find a way to copy them, so that such high-level Research on abilities has stalled and has reached a dead end.

   The good news is that the research team led by Todd has achieved great results in the research on the North Island ruins.

The opportunity came from the Sutherland bacteria in the fossil ~lightnovelpub.net~ Since the archaea can seal the dysfunctional bacteria in the body, after studying, Todd isolated some North Island monster remains from the archaea. Can bacteria. As for the function of these bacteria, he could not perform clinical analysis. Because these fossil bacteria are so powerful that the existing human body functions simply cannot withstand these terrible microorganisms. Even the heirs who have archaea in their bodies cannot avoid the fatal consequences that follow when using these heterogeneous bacteria.

   Todd guessed that the creatures in the North Island Ruins were able to use these supernatural bacteria, on the one hand because their body functions were stronger than humans, and on the other hand, perhaps because they had a way to reduce the side effects of the supernatural powers.

   But these are just speculations. To find the answer, it seems that hope must be placed in the remains of the North Island.

   With this thought, Todd plans to go to the North Island again to excavate and explore the ruins in order to find the truth buried in time.

   Morgan of the Black Skull tribe once transported seafood. After passing through the town of Muxi, he learned Todd's thoughts and gave his advice.

   It is almost impossible to excavate and develop the ruins without the consent of the Valkyries. The clan training that the Valkyries got was to guard the ruins at all costs. To get their approval, there were only two ways in front of Todd.

   One is to go to war with the Valkyrie, and directly make this tribe surrender to Todd.

   The second is to find a way to allow them to allow the development of the ruins.

   Todd thought about it for a long time, and finally turned his attention to the pheromone artifact that he had just completed, the pheromone concentrate. ...
