Destroyer: Building a Dimensional Universe from Scratch

Chapter 12: One-Day Tour of the City of Heroes

The next day, Lu Chen, along with Dafeng Richelieu and five companions from Chaldaea, roamed the streets of Constantinople. As the commander, he was responsible for guiding the new members to get familiar with this world. In addition, after being away from home for several months, he was also curious about the changes in the city.

"What a magnificent building!" Gudako looked up at the buildings on both sides. Although there are few high-rise buildings in the city, most of them are low-rise buildings with 3 to 7 floors, but they all adopt the unified Han and Tang style, and show a grand and solemn style against the backdrop of modern technology. If it weren't for the reminder of the fashionable ship girls on the street, it would seem as if one is in ancient time and space.

Da Feng followed closely behind Lu Chen. She had become a docile little cat now, and her former yandere temperament was only left with a hint of tenderness. "Master, you have this skill?" The Daimao King was surprised that Lu Chen seemed to be omnipotent.

Lu Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, motioning everyone to move forward: "It's just some practical experience in civil engineering." Due to the continuous fusion of the naval base, the city's population has increased significantly compared to before. Coupled with the constant stream of tourists in the port area and the mysterious appearance of the little yellow chicken, the whole city presents a scene of vitality and prosperity.

Every few steps, a ship girl or Brie would come up to greet them enthusiastically. Gudako looked at the little yellow chickens running among the crowd and was amazed: "The chickens here can not only plow the fields, but also do other things?"

"This is the wonder of the magic route." When Lu Chen responded, Gudako suddenly said, "Can it be eaten? It looks quite fat. It should taste good if roasted." As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere around them suddenly froze. The ship girl and Brie cast sharp glances at him, scaring Gudako so much that she couldn't help but tremble.

"I'm kidding." Hei Zhen recalled the experience of being beaten up by the ship girls, and was still frightened. He quickly withdrew his desire for the little yellow chicken. "They work for the ship girls. If you eat them, you will be punished."

Lu Chen secretly sighed: "Your ability to stir up trouble is really unparalleled and admirable." He noticed that among the four heroes, including Mashu, Black Jeanne, and Sarge, except for Black Jeanne who belonged to the Chaos Evil camp, the other three were in the Order Good camp. It is not difficult to understand why Black Jeanne was so keen on "seeking death".

Along the way, they also came across many shops along the street. The ship girls and Bree displayed all kinds of strange goods on the counters, including packaged warship fuel and coolant, freshly caught fish and wild fruits, and even Bree sent by Akashi to sell mysterious boxes.

Gudako asked with great interest: "What currency is in circulation here? Is it RMB or gold coins?" The answer she got was: "Everyone takes what they need and does their best. Just take whatever you want."

When Fujimaru Ritsuka heard this idea, he was stunned for a moment and stopped to think. This idea is like a beautiful but distant ideal for human society. A red empire in the north once tried it, but it ultimately failed.

Lu Chen explained briefly: "You can understand it this way, but it's because we currently have fewer residents and have not yet reached the level of demand for issuing currency. Moreover, everyone's moral qualities are generally high, so this situation has formed. Here, just pick some fruit to eat." As he said that, he picked up a few fruits from a roadside stall and distributed them to everyone.

The shipgirls do not have too many worldly desires. As long as there is a naval base, plus sufficient energy and medicine supply, they can live comfortably. As for Brie, she is even more carefree. Therefore, it is redundant to set up a complex financial system in such an environment. They set up stalls more out of personal interest rather than survival needs.

Not far away, a cat-eared maid was promoting the delicacies carefully prepared by MAIZOJI: "Royal specialty! Stargazing pie! Free trial! Free trial!"

The counter in front of her was piled with pie-like foods, each with a few lifelike fish heads stuck on it. Gudako couldn't help but blurt out: "This is simply..."

"So, do you plan to maintain this state forever?" Gudako couldn't help but use honorifics for Lu Chen.

"It's hard to say. In the future, as the city expands, they may consider issuing currency and other matters. I am not well versed in financial and sociological issues." Lu Chen thought for a moment and gave a serious answer.

"Food!" Altria had no interest in their political discussion. Her attention was completely drawn to the word "free" in Cheshire. She had not been able to enjoy delicious food in her lifetime, and after becoming a heroic spirit and following Lu Chen into this world, she was looking forward to the food here.

"Hi, young lady, would you like to look up at the stars together?" The cat-eared maid enthusiastically solicited business from passers-by. Lu Chen and Richelieu knew the power of royal cuisine and shook their heads decisively to refuse.

five minutes later……

"Mom... I'm back..."

"Master, did we win the Holy Grail War? I think I saw it..."

"Lord, I give my body to you..."

Richelieu grabbed Cheshire and staggered. Gudako, Shield Girl, and Black Zhen became more cautious after experiencing the baptism of royal cuisine and no longer tried unknown objects easily. Only King Ailan was still unrepentant due to his strong curiosity.

"Fuel for warships?! What you drank was not fine wine but..."

"Coolant?! You can drink this?!"

"What is this? It looks like a jade bud-shaped bread. Very unique. Let me take a bite..."

"What?! Real fish scales?!"

After encountering a series of "shoddy" dishes, King began to question the overall cooking level of this world.

"Take her to find Yixian and give the Knight King something delicious." Lu Chen couldn't help laughing. He asked Bri to help look after the girl, and then continued to tour the capital with everyone.

On one side of the city, in front of a huge building that looked like the Temple of Heaven, Lu Chen stopped. "This is the Capital Library, which is mainly used to store technology and magic information obtained from other worlds."

"In the future, this place will be further expanded and built into a treasure house that brings together knowledge from all over the world." Stepping into the library, the interior decoration is magnificent, although the number of books in the collection is not large yet, filling only a small part of the bookshelves.

"These are all materials brought back from other worlds. I guess Kanae sorted them out in her spare time. Let's keep them here for now." Lu Chen glanced around and noticed Buri who was still wiping the bookshelf next to him.

"The library currently contains mainly technical materials for the Azur Lane and Gundam series, as well as some magic books that were just brought from Chaldea, and various materials compiled by everyone."

"If you want to learn about the knowledge of other worlds, the library is fully open to you." Ritsuka Fujimaru and the heroic spirits looked up and around this magnificent library, their hearts filled with yearning for the palace of knowledge.

"When I get back, I'll talk to Dr. Roman about moving all the books in Chaldea here." Gudako proposed ambitiously.

"No, no, no, we still have to be reasonable. We can slowly cooperate in the future." Lu Chen smiled and declined her proposal. "After Chaldea is rebuilt, it is only right that resources are shared."

After leaving the library, although the population here is not large, the infrastructure is already quite complete. Even if some functional buildings are not used by the shipgirls at the moment, they also provide conditions for new members to move in immediately.

Then, they came to the Akashi Workshop on the edge of the city. "This is our scientific research and invention center. You have met the person in charge before." Lu Chen pointed to the building in front of him, which covered an area comparable to that of a residential area. There was a pink cat's paw mark on the door.

As Akashi's research projects increased, the space in the naval base could no longer meet her work needs, so she moved here. Entering the workshop, it can be seen that a complete small industrial system has been formed here, covering every link from mineral smelting to precision processing and weapon assembly.

Countless people were busy, carrying out their respective tasks in an orderly manner. "Commander?" The green-haired maintenance woman poked her head out from behind a machine tool. "What are you doing here?"

"Come and see the progress of your research and pick out a toy for her." Gudako also noticed the row of Gundams neatly arranged against the wall, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

Lu Chen decided without hesitation: "Give her a Zaku without the thrusters." What a joke! A novice piloting a Gundam might have trouble even walking. It would be terrible if an accident occurred accidentally.

"It's good that you like it. Anyway, it's better to have it than not." With the help of Bri, Gudako stumbled out of the workshop in a Zaku. From time to time, her excited voice could be heard in the distance:

"Oh oh oh!"

"This machine gun is more powerful than the gem magic!"

"Next time I go to a singularity I'm going to drive a Gundam too!"

Lu Chen and the other heroes smiled at each other, their expressions becoming more and more strange: "Why do I feel that her path has gone a little off track? Forget it, let's find a Caster to give her some magic lessons later."
