Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After the simple daze, what emerged from Zhou Xu's chest was an uncontrollable ecstasy.

The Pioneer, which departed from the port of Black Moon City, appeared here after a long voyage. What does this mean?

This shows that from south to north, this large lake directly connects the New World and the Old World!

This is really important to Zhou Xu.

Nowadays, they have a big problem in Dazhou due to terrain and environmental problems, and that is the transportation problem.

Between the New World and the Old World, the transportation of materials inevitably required crossing mountainous areas.

In this mountainous area, even mountain people who are familiar with the mountains would need half a month to cross, let alone transport goods.

This also greatly increases the transportation cost between the two regions, as well as the transfer of population.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu's long-standing response has been to make the two regions operate as independently as possible, reducing material and even population interactions.

This is obviously not conducive to their internal development in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Zhou Xu has no choice. The terrain is there, let alone in this era. Mountains like this, even in modern times, are a big trouble.

But now it's better. As long as they make sure that the big lakes are connected, they can open water transportation routes directly in Zhou Dynasty!

Not only will the efficiency of resource transportation and population transfer be greatly improved, but expenditures on this area will also be significantly reduced.

A water transport route can directly connect two areas that were originally difficult to link! How could this not make Zhou Xu excited?

Sitting in the Qinzheng Palace, looking at the report in front of him, Zhou Xu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, after waiting for his emotions to calm down, Zhou Xu's first thing was to order shipbuilding and continue shipbuilding!

Elevate an entire shipbuilding project directly to the highest priority level, and let all domestic funding resources be tilted towards this project.

After it was determined that Green Forest City and Black Moon City could unlock water transportation routes, the value of this project in Zhou Xu's place had already skyrocketed like a rocket.

In his opinion, the transportation capacity of a Pioneer was no longer enough.

After all, the Pioneer is mainly a ship built to open up new areas and explore them. In essence, it is not a cargo ship.

But now, what Zhou Xu needs is undoubtedly a cargo ship with stronger transportation capacity!

At the same time, a port will be built at Green Forest City to facilitate the docking of subsequent ships.

"Pass my order for Liu Jiefang to start taming homing pigeons that can travel between Green Forest City and Black Moon City."

In the past, they felt that the distance between the two sides was too far, and training was not only troublesome, but also very difficult, but now the situation was different. They suddenly discovered that Black Moon City was not that far away from them.

At this distance, efficient communication can be carried out through homing pigeons.

"As for the Pioneer, let them continue to complete the exploration of the waterway and draw a map of the waterway."

Excited as he was, Zhou Xu's mind was still clear. The most important thing now was to explore all the waterway areas that could be explored to improve the map.

Although the Pioneer is equipped with a crew and survival supplies, its own transportation capacity is not much, so there is no rush.

Relevant orders were quickly issued directly from Qinzheng Palace.

At the shipyard in Black Moon City, after successfully building the Pioneer, the members of the shipbuilding department received their rewards and took a long vacation before returning to their respective posts.

After all, in order to drive out this big ship, they had never rested except eating and sleeping since the project was officially launched.

Zhou Xu has always disliked idle labor. The shipbuilding plan here was not just about building one ship.

This large lake is so large, and there are many lake islands in the lake. In the future, internal development will require at least three or four large ships to provide them with transportation capacity.

Therefore, the members who had finished their vacation also started the construction of the second ship without any hurry.

"According to the requirements in the plan, starting from this second ship, we will focus on improving the transportation capacity. If you have any ideas, please tell us. Let's discuss it while everyone is here."

In the office of the shipyard, the minister leaned on the office chair at the head of the conference table, blew on the hot tea that had just been brewed in the cup, and leisurely announced the topics of the first meeting after the official start of the project.

During this period, the status of the staff was also comfortable, and it was obvious that they had not yet adjusted from the long vacation.

If nothing else, they will be able to hold the meeting all morning.

Even as we drove to the back, some members began to wonder what they would have for dinner after get off work.

At this moment, there was a movement outside the dock, which caught their attention.

Hearing the movement, the minister casually nodded to someone.

"Xiao Zhang, go out and see what's going on."

Xiao Zhang responded when his name was called and trotted out to confirm the situation.

The location of their office inside the shipyard is basically facing the main entrance. As soon as you leave the office, you can see the situation at the main entrance at a glance.

At this moment, workers moving goods were moving boxes of goods into their dock.

Xiao Zhang's expression was a little confused when he saw this battle, and he hurried over here. Just when he was about to arrest someone and ask what was going on, a figure came in from outside.

Xiao Zhang's expression changed instantly when he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

During this period, the other party apparently also saw Xiao Zhang, and then waved to him.

"I remember you, Xiao Zhang, right?"

Seeing that the other party remembered him, Xiao Zhang was immediately flattered.

"Yes, yes, I am Xiao Zhang. Why are you here, City Lord?"

At this moment, the person who walked in was Zhang Xiaoshan.

Since Black Moon City was upgraded to a city, Zhang Xiaoshan has also been promoted to city lord, and his every move has become more calm and sophisticated.

Looking at Xiao Zhang who looked nervous and stuttered a little when he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan was not surprised and instead asked with a smile.

"Where is your minister? I'm coming to find him."

"Lord City Lord, please wait a moment. I'll call the minister over right now."

While he was talking, Xiao Zhang ran away quickly and rushed into their office as fast as possible, startling everyone inside and even spilling a little of the tea in the minister's hand, making him frown. Wrinkled, slightly unhappy.

"What are you doing? I'm so frizzy and not calm at all. Is there an extraordinary creature chasing you behind me? Look at me, Minister. I can keep my composure no matter what happens."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhang panted and quickly shook his head.

"Cheng, the Lord of the City is here!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhang felt his eyes blurred. When he came to his senses, their minister had already rushed out. As soon as he turned around, he was the only one left in the office.
