And continue in the research area, you will arrive at the last main functional division of the floating city - the central control area.

The central control area, as the name suggests, is prepared for the control personnel of the Floating Void City. For such a complicated city, even with the assistance of Ta Ling, it is unlikely that Xia Duo will be able to control it alone. Secondary authority must be issued to the corresponding staff. .

As a sphere, unless the height of the floor is deliberately increased, the space will always be smaller as you go in. This is the case for this central control area. If you look at it from a farther perspective, it looks like a " Melon skin".

It seems insignificant in the entire floating city, but in fact, this is the brain of the floating city.

Of course, because it is related to the various systems of the Floating Void City, Xia Duo actually did not make a realistic rendering, and only replaced it with a scene similar to a rocket launch command center.

But obviously, after coming to the field in person, Niya easily found that the scenes shown in the renderings did not match the reality, and the proportion of the central control area in the renderings was obviously smaller.

The ratio of the previous main divisions to the overall floating city is not much different from the rendering.

"Xia Duo, isn't this the central control area? Why is it so different from the rendering?" Niya asked.

"I have only completed the design of the flight control system and the repair and maintenance system. The central control area may be greatly changed in the future. The renderings are not accurate."

"What about the renderings of the previous partitions? Don't tell me that's not allowed!"

"That's not true. The renderings of the previous partitions are almost the same after the final completion. At most, there are some differences in details, and the basic functions will not change."

"That's good."

Niya stroked her chest, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Then when will this place be fully completed?"

"You don't have to worry too much about this. It can be completed within two years at most, but this is not the key point. The key point is that we don't have enough people to fill the city."

Through the same azure-colored wall inside the central control layer, Xia Duo's line of sight seemed to penetrate the wall, extending to the end of the floating city. Even such a small city that can only be regarded as a pocket on the earth needs a lot of people ah!

"The maximum design capacity of this city is about 2 million, and the combined population of our two territories is less than 100,000!" Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.

If calculated according to the natural population growth rate of 2%, it would take at least 150 years for him to fill this emerging city. Considering magic life extension and midwifery, the time may be shortened.

But I'm afraid it will still take a hundred years to calculate.

There is no doubt that under such circumstances, the introduction of foreign population is the main driving force for population growth. Xia Duo thinks so and does so.

Just last year, he introduced the Gray Eagle Tribe with tens of thousands of people from the Langas Plain, and the assimilation effect was good.

However, considering the population ratio of different ethnic groups in the territory, it is impossible for Xia Duo to always introduce Langas people, and it is necessary to use Naise people to reconcile and strengthen the assimilation effect.

It's just that it's easy to introduce Langas, but it's not easy for Naeser.

Even if there is occasional overpopulation in various places, the local lord is unlikely to let him take people away again and again, even though Netheril has not paid much attention to the population problem.

However, restricting the outflow of people is still an instinct deposited in the blood of Lord Nether.

Whether you regard the people as your own wealth, or the asylum under your command, it is better to have people in your own hands than in others.

Unless it is the territory that regards the population as a burden, but even so, there is no reason to give it away for free. The free people are fine. After all, there are not many, and the formal citizens have to scrape off a layer of skin.

Therefore, Xia Duo's current plan to introduce the Nethers is mainly to buy slaves and fool the free people as a supplement. As for the annexation of the territory, he has never thought about it.

That's so unrealistic.

"Niya, do you have any way to increase the population of our territory rapidly?"

"Rangas?" Niya tentatively said a way.

But Xia Duo shook his head, "There are enough Langas people in the southern border, and I'm worried that they won't be able to integrate if we bring them in again. Can the Nethers have a solution?"

"Let me think about it—"

Niya was really thinking about it seriously, and Xia Duo didn't urge him when he saw this, but urged the water around the two of them to move slowly to other locations in the floating city.

The visit just now was just an overview. There are still many places that Xia Duo has not seen, not to mention that he has to actually test the geological data of various important testing points.

Although the current floating city is almost in a state of weightlessness, after it is completely completed, it will coexist in a state of weightlessness and gravity.

Specifically, the floating city itself is suspended, but its body is covered with a gradually changing gravity field that diverges from the center of the sphere, which can make residents living in the floating city feel like they are living on the ground.

This requires that the main body of the Floating Void City also has a certain supporting capacity, among other things, at least it cannot be crushed by its own gravity.

Xia Duo had considered the material itself for the transformation stone he chose, but for the sake of the unique azure color, some firmness was somewhat sacrificed.

And now he just wants to check the whole body. If there is a problem, it is a big deal to rebuild it, so as not to find the problem after all the work is completed in the future, then the cost of rebuilding will not be one point or two.

…

Just near the core energy channel of the research area, Niya was startled suddenly, and excitedly told Xia Duo: "I thought of it!"

"What did you think of?" Xia Duo asked while testing.

"I figured out how to quickly introduce people!"

"any idea?"

"It's very simple. Let the great-grandfather go to the Severton Council to apply for a development order, and then summon the people, but he didn't really open up, but sent the people to us. As long as the development continues, our people will continue to have a steady stream of energy. .”

Niya said excitedly, as if she had seen the scene where countless people poured into the southern border and into the floating city.

Xia Duo was quite speechless about this.

The Grand Arcanist can indeed summon the new territories that he pioneered with him to the whole of Netheril through the Council of Severton. Most ordinary people are happy to respond to the Grand Arcanist's call, and even the lords from all over the world will take the initiative to show their favor. Provide manpower.

But the problem is that Savile has already applied for the development order decades ago, and has already completed the development.

If you want to re-apply ~lightnovelpub.net~, you can only change your identity, but obviously this kind of trick is unlikely to be hidden from the Seven Towers. It is okay to think about it, but it will be a lot of trouble to actually implement it.

The most important thing is Savile's identity. As a student of Iolum, if he openly defrauded the subsidy from the Severton Council, Iolum would probably find it difficult to do so.

As for Xia Duo himself, he has now completed the development, but there are still some conditions that have not been fulfilled. He followed the special process of the princess period, and now he can no longer apply for the development order as a great arcanist.

Of course, you can also apply for an application. After all, the princess has become the "God of Pioneering and Guardian." Pioneering is politically correct, but there is no subsidy. It doesn't make much sense to apply, but it is an extra burden.

However, although Niya's idea could not be implemented, it also gave Xia Duo an inspiration, that is to discuss the introduction of population with the Grand Arcanist who has already applied for a development order.

Broad is a great candidate!

He can even cultivate a great arcanist by himself, and then apply for development in the name of the other party, and the subsidized population will be directly included in the Great Xia system.
