Chapter 395: Rebuilding the Earthfire
After taking care of this most important grain production base, Emperor Shi Tian didn't even have a little time to rest, and directly took all his earth-based monks and teleported to Earthfire City.
This was once the metal smelting base of the Overlord Flower, relying on a massive amount of underground flames, which can smelt ore into steel for free.
Although Emperor Shi Tian could do this with mana, the mana that needed to be consumed was a bit too much.
If the population in the hands of Emperor Shi Tian is only one million, then with the magic power generated by the magic moss, the steel he refines can almost meet the needs of production.
But the problem is that Emperor Shi Tian is about to take over a population of tens of millions, and the consumption of steel will definitely be more than ten times, or even more.
After all, preparing steel for cavemen is a completely different concept than preparing steel for orcs.
Cave people and civilians also need a little cutlery, an iron pot, at most an iron knife, and necessary agricultural tools to carry out production and life.
But the orcs, who are also worthy of such a set, consume several times more steel than the cavemen.
The spoons used by orcs can even be used as bowls for cavemen, and the orcs' cauldron can hold several entire cavemen.
And this is just the usual daily consumption, if you want to arm orcs or minotaurs, then a body of heavy armor, as well as heavy weapons, will have to consume hundreds of kilograms of steel.
And once the number of such armed orcs reaches the level of 100,000 or even millions, then their steel consumption can only be described as astronomical.
With such a large amount of steel, it is definitely not possible to rely on magic power alone to smelt it, and no amount of magic power is enough to consume.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian immediately thought of Earth Fire City, and after arranging the urgent food problem, he led the construction troops over.
In Emperor Shitian's plan, the permanent population here may be two or three million, or even more, and it must be built according to the standard of four people, which can simply exhaust him to death.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian simply stole once and directly built a super large room, which could accommodate dozens or even hundreds of orcs at a time.
Anyway, these guys have rough skin and thick meat, as long as they can sleep in a sheltered room, they don't even bother to put a bed for them, just make a step above the ground, even if it's a bed.
Of course, in order to ensure their health, there will be no shortage of drinking water systems, bathing systems, and most importantly, toilet systems.
Moreover, Emperor Shi also built a super huge kitchen and used the earth fire to cook for these guys.
And just when Emperor Shakti took hundreds of monks and kept building residential communities.
There was no intention of being idle on the side of the barrage, and hundreds of thousands of goblins, cavemen, kobolds, and various other slaves were sent over.
The first is the caveman archer, who leads his crazy iron dog army and kills the past in all directions.
Their mission is very simple, one is to survey the terrain and draw a map, and the other is to clean up the mobs and die without becoming a slave.
This will be a very important steel production base for Emperor Shi Tian in the future, and it must be absolutely safe.
Just as the caveman shooters were leaving, the kobolds began their exploration work under the protection of some crazy iron dogs.
These kobolds are carefully selected prospectors who teach to search for iron ore veins near Imperial City.
In fact, there is a large amount of iron ore here, but it is necessary to find the most suitable place for mining.
In the future, thousands of kobolds will become overseers in the area, teaching and directing slaves to mine iron ore.
As for the goblins, they are now about to be trained by Emperor Shi Tian to become a gourmet.
When they arrived, their first job was to direct the huge orc slaves to cook in the kitchen.
The kitchens that Emperor Shi Tian deliberately made for these big guys have nearly 1,000 square meters each, and there are special fire vents, almost forty or fifty.
The large iron cauldron that had just been produced was about three or four meters in diameter, and it took two strong orcs to lift it. As soon as they were placed on the fire, the goblins began cooking.
With 100,000 slaves on the horizon and more than 100,000 people to eat, the work of the goblin cooks is terrifying.
It can even be said that the little physical strength of the goblins alone is completely unable to complete the task, and they have to rely on the orc slaves captured from the Overlord Flower.
However, these orc slaves are already very obedient, and they have long been in charge of cooking under the command of these goblins, and they have become very skilled after such a long time.
Cooking for slaves naturally did not need to be very delicate, there were mainly two things, one was wet broth, and the other was dry bread.
Broth is nothing more than scraps of meat, including offal, poured with water, sprinkled with salt, and mushrooms and other wild vegetables picked from the field.
Anyway, it's good to have the fragrance of food. At least the orc slaves were very interested in this food.
Even when they fought before, they might not have been able to eat such good food.
Only warriors who have truly cultivated their fighting spirit can eat meat when they start a war, and in normal times, meat can only be eaten for a few days.
As for these black iron-level orcs, hehe, vegetarianism is the norm all year round.
It is precisely because of this that after they become the captives of Emperor Shitian, they will quickly become tame and even take the initiative.
Because they were shocked to find that as long as they worked hard, they could have meat to eat every day, which was something they would never have imagined before.
It can be said that Emperor Shi Tian only used a little meat to buy the hearts of these orc slaves, and now let them go back, they won't do it.
After thousands of cauldrons were placed, half of them began to simmer in broth.
Add the rest of the water and prepare the steamed dough.
The so-called flour cake is actually a miscellaneous grain, all the foods that Emperor Shi Tian can find and can be turned into powder, are mixed together, there is flour, there is chestnut powder, and even plant powder such as sweet potato, anyway, they are all starch-rich things.
Stir the dough with water, then make a cake the size of a person's head, two or three inches thick, and steam it directly in the pot.
It's simple, easy to learn, and even the stupid brains of orcs can learn it quickly.
Although it didn't taste particularly good, it was really filling, at least for those slaves, it was already a very high-end food.
The combination of bread and broth, in the eyes of the other lords, was eaten by the regular army, and as for the slaves, it was impossible to have a full time, and as for the quality of the physical goods, it was even worse, basically they were all extremely coarse, even half-rotten.
And this is the biggest difference between Emperor Shi Tian and other lords, other lords only think about squeezing these slaves, it doesn't matter if they die, it's a big deal to go to the wild to catch them.
But Emperor Shi Tian didn't think so, he wanted to let these slaves eat well, and even have the opportunity to cultivate fighting qi, which could not only make them work harder, create more wealth, but also select qualified warriors from them.
Especially these orcs, doing heavy work can also be regarded as a kind of cultivation, as long as the nutrition can keep up, not only will they not exhaust their bodies, but they may stimulate the mysterious power of the flesh and cultivate their fighting spirit.
And once you cultivate your fighting spirit, you will be a proper bronze-level warrior, and your combat power will skyrocket several times in an instant, if you match it with a good set of equipment, it will not be a problem to sweep more than a dozen of your black iron-level clansmen.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian always supported these slaves as wealth, and would never treat them harshly, and even strictly forbade others to persecute these slaves.
In the past, Emperor Shakti relied on powerful photonic computers to monitor the entire empire, and even made these machines law enforcement agencies, so as to avoid and put an end to the pursuit of personal gain.
And now, Emperor Shakti relies on the line of faith to monitor his subordinates, and makes his devout believers become priests to assist him.
Although the priests have no actual power, they have a direct channel to report to Emperor Shitian, as long as they find out about the corruption and perversion of the law, hehe, these brainless guys will report it immediately, and they will definitely make those goods severely punished.
In fact, in the past year, Emperor Shi Tian has executed thousands of people, each time in public, and announced the crime of perverting the law for bribes.
In this magical magical world, Emperor Shi suddenly discovered that inspecting crimes is a very simple matter, and there is no need for any evidence at all, as long as you suspect it, you can search your memory, and then you can find real evidence.
Relying on this method, Emperor Shi Tian was able to pull out so many moths so quickly, thus ensuring the peace and stability of the entire society, and at the same time further establishing his prestige, and even gaining more power of faith as a result.
In this case, moths have rarely appeared among those people in the past.
However, among the tens of millions of new arrivals, there will definitely be people who will slowly become leaders and transform into moths, anyway, Emperor Shi Tian has been prepared for a long time.
So among those who came here, there were tens of thousands of full-time priests.
They had already begun to build temples everywhere in preparation for the new arrivals to preach to them and make them believe in Emperor Shakti.
It's a pity that Emperor Shitian's strength is too low now, and there is no way to feedback too many spells from these priests and priests, so they will only simply use weak healing techniques, not even the bronze level.
If you really fight, the combat scum will die, and it's basically the same as waste.
However, over time, once Emperor Shakti's power was raised to the level of legendary, then these priests could rely on the divine techniques taught by Emperor Shakti to raise their strength to the bronze or even silver level.
And once Emperor Shakti succeeds in becoming a god, then the priests who believe in him will also follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven and become legends, even sages, and may even become demigod-level archbishops.
Of course, this is all a long, long time later.
From the current point of view, these guys are only able to preach, and they can't count on it when they go to war anyway.
