Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

There are not many more resources in the national treasury.

But during the time he was resting, Her Majesty the Queen had already made the decision to rebuild all the industrial areas and buildings that had been destroyed by the insect swarm a while ago.

Not only that, the wonder that Shen Yi had previously planned: the Star God Disc, is also under construction.

Shen Yi noticed that the materials in the national treasury were slowly increasing, which meant that the three cavalry mining teams he had sent out earlier had arrived at the resource point and completed the construction of the transportation route.

In other words, the work that was originally supposed to take 20 rounds to complete was completed before the number of rounds was reached.

This was just as Shen Yi expected. When he was not operating, the civilization itself did not have a setting for the number of rounds.

Their time will proceed normally and work activities will proceed normally.

The number of rounds is merely a way to make it easier for Shen Yi to "play".

To be honest, this setting is similar to Civilization 6.

In Civilization 6, each time you press Next Turn, the in-game time will advance by several decades to several years.

This "game" probably has a similar setting, but it's not as exaggerated.

Shen Yi chose the Star God Disc which was under construction. This wonder required 3000 production capacity, 1000 common materials and 500 precious materials.

It is no exaggeration to say that the resources needed to build the wonder are enough for him to build the entire infrastructure of a new city.

Oh my god, building this wonder would be a real disaster for the country.

We still have to vigorously develop productivity!

Chapter 28: Without high technology, where would productivity come from?

Shen Yi selected the capital and right-clicked to open the property details.

【Capital: Titania】

Productivity: 70/round

[Bonus provided (per turn): Gold 70, Technology 55, Culture 50]

The Star God Disc consumes 3000 production forces, which means that if there are sufficient resources, it will take at least 43 rounds to complete its construction.

43 rounds...

If this were a peaceful and prosperous paradise, Shen Yi would dare to put all his productivity into building this wonder.

But the Grammer Empire is located in a universe like a dark forest.

The planet Terra is surrounded by scattered Zerg swarms. If we don't prioritize improving productivity and developing national defense, we will be in trouble if these Zerg swarms gather again and attack us one day.

After all, Shen Yi now only has a Planet Extinction Order copied using the Breeding Gem.

The current combat strength of the envoy is unknown. If he encounters only one wave of planetary insect swarms, he can still handle it, but if there are two more waves, he will be powerless.

What is terrifying about the swarm is not its strength, but its number.

Faced with such an endless number that covered the sky and the sun, even an envoy would be exhausted and fall into a disadvantage.

What's more, the Zerg also has a Commander-level King Bug.

After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If Grammer wants to get rid of these anxious days, he must make himself stronger.

Strength is always the basis for upholding justice, national defense is the real backing of diplomacy, and truth is only within the range of cannons!

Dignity only exists on the edge of a sword!

Forge a sword! You must forge a sword!

To forge swords, we must improve technology. Without high technology, where would the productivity come from?

Shen Yi called up the technology tree. Because the research center was damaged, technology had almost stagnated during this period.

Now all the second-level technologies have been unlocked, and only the third-level technology [Synthetic Human] has been unlocked.

There are currently four third-level technologies, namely:

[1. Fusion Energy: Trigger nuclear fusion to power buildings and units, unlock space docks, and allow the construction of space fleets]

[2. Prediction Algorithm: Promotes the advancement of the prediction system and provides combat units with 5 points of defense]

[3. Outer Space Construction: Allows the construction of resource mining stations on explored planets]

[4. Industrial Base: Upgrade the industrial area to an industrial base and unlock higher-level industrial buildings]

Shen Yi looked at these technologies one by one and immediately had an idea.

As mentioned before, the resources of a planet are actually very limited, especially in interstellar empires with large populations. Their home planets usually find it difficult to provide them with sufficient resources.

Therefore, interstellar colonization has become a necessary means for these advanced civilizations.

The empire will expand its territory through its fleet, colonize surrounding planets, and provide for the local residents by mining their resources.

In the original work, the territory of the Grammer Republic reaches tens of thousands of light years, and it is undoubtedly a third-level civilization at the intergalactic level.

However, the Grammer Empire cultivated by Shen Yi has not even gotten rid of its native planet, and the only territory it controls is its native planet.

Due to the invasion of insect swarms, more than a quarter of the soil on Terra has been contaminated, and it will take hundreds of rounds to restore the ecology.

Even if the ecology is restored, if it does not rely on resources from other planets for blood supply, it will not be long before the Grammer Empire will still fall into a development bottleneck.

Therefore, interstellar colonization became Shen Yi's next goal.

In fact, this is very similar to the gameplay of the game "Stellaris".

When starting a new game, the first thing the player does is to send out a research team to explore around, and then use a mining fleet to build a mining area on a safe planet.

Among the third-level technologies, except for the prediction algorithm, the others are what Shen Yi needs at the moment.

Unlocking these technologies costs nearly 900 technology points. Currently, the entire civilization of the Grammer Empire only provides 80 technology points per round. Any one of them will take 12 rounds.

Alas, these are all big projects with long and arduous journeys...

take it easy.

Shen Yi selected [Industrial Base] as the technology to be researched first.

The Industrial Base can provide 10 production points per turn for the current city and also unlock three new industrial buildings:

[Resource Planning Center: +10 city productivity, 10% reduction in resource consumption when building projects]

[Energy Plant: Increases the city's productivity by +10 and provides additional productivity based on current energy technology (Nuclear Fission +5/turn, Nuclear Fusion +10/turn)]

[Raw Material Processing Plant: City productivity +10, common/precious material growth efficiency increased by 5%]

To sum up, as long as you unlock the industrial base and build all the above projects, the city's productivity can be increased by 4 to 50 points at one time!

The most important thing is that these areas and buildings can be purchased directly with gold coins and faith points.

Therefore, after the industrial base was developed, he immediately spent gold coins and faith points to purchase the latest unlocked industrial buildings.

Although this action directly emptied the national treasury, productivity was visibly increased by nearly double.

The capital now has a productivity of 120 per turn, plus the progress made during the research of the industrial base, it will take less than 20 turns to build the Star God Disc.

After the industrial base was developed, Shen Yi immediately began to study fusion energy and outer space construction.

We played until noon, and the fusion energy was successfully developed, and the Star God Disc was also completed.

Just like in Civilization 6, there will be a CG clip after the wonder is repaired.

On the screen, the people of Grammer gathered in the Sacred Square, seemingly planning to hold a grand ceremony to mark the completion of the wonder.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yi quickly put down his mouse and picked up the instant noodles he had just made, intending to use them as electronic pickled mustard greens to go with his meal.

-

Liuying opened her eyes and woke up from the soft and comfortable big bed.

She looked out the window. The soft light before dawn overflowed the horizon, and the brightest stars were still twinkling above her head.

But they will soon be obscured by the light of the rising sun.

She jumped under the bed without caring about her image. Without even having time to put on her clothes, she ran to the dressing table and carefully put on exquisite makeup.

Although the royal family had prepared a royal makeup artist for her, Liuying felt that in an occasion like today, it would be best for her to do it herself to show respect to the Lord God.

By the time Liuying finished putting on her makeup and clothes, her personal guards who were coming to pick her up were already waiting at the door.

Looking at the V-shaped group of fireflies at the door, Liuying couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

These are the Queen's personal guards, and now I am fortunate enough to be treated like the Queen.

After all, she is the Saint of Grammer and the "Messenger" of the Star God "Shiji".

In the entire Gramer Empire, her status is second only to Her Majesty the Queen. Even all the ministers in the Senate have to give her three points.

To be honest, Liuying doesn't actually like the feeling of being admired by everyone.

Every time she appeared in public with Her Majesty the Queen, she would smile in response to the millions of enthusiastic glances.

The smile should not be stiff, it should be polite and the eyes should not be wandering...

Liuying was not used to these royal etiquettes.

When Liuying thought about how Her Majesty the Queen came like this every day, she admired her even more.

Chapter 29 Without productivity, how can there be high technology!

"Lady Saint, the ceremony is about to begin. Her Majesty the Queen wants you to meet her at the palace gate."

AR-1368, dressed in gorgeous ceremonial attire, half-knelt in front of Liuying with an extremely respectful attitude.

She is now not only the governor of the City of Sina, but also the captain of the Saint's personal guard.

Although the two of them already have a good relationship privately, Liuying also said that she hopes AR-1368 will not be too polite.

But the other person's serious character determined her methodical actions.

What's more, this is a formal occasion.

Liuying put aside her desire to persuade the other party to be more casual, and nodded slightly using the method taught by the court etiquette master:

"Understood, let's set off."

"Yes."

Liuying walked outside the palace, met Her Majesty the Queen, saluted her, and then boarded the parade float with the Queen and headed to the Sacred Square.

In the vast sacred square, above the giant statue of the Queen that is more than 60 meters high, a star god disk with a diameter spanning half of the city hangs proudly.

Its magnificence surpasses everything in the world. Even the bustling and noisy city pales in comparison to its vast splendor.

Today is the celebration ceremony for the completion of the Star God Disc.

As the "messenger" chosen by God and the saint of the Grammer Empire, Liuying has to take on the responsibility of giving a speech at the completion ceremony.

At this moment, the Sacred Square was as bustling as the day when the Queen declared the existence of God not long ago.

In order to witness the completion ceremony of the Star God Disc with their own eyes, many people even started gathering here last night.

Led by the Queen, Liuying stepped onto the ceremonial platform and looked up at the enormous Star God Disc floating above the square.

Its diameter seemed to span the limits of the sky, cutting the azure sky into two halves, one half bathed in brilliant golden light, and the other half immersed in deep blue-purple shadows.

In the dazzling light, the surface of the Star God Disc seemed to be flowing with golden liquid, and the light at the edge gathered into a dazzling band of light, like golden silk woven by the Sun God himself.

If Liuying had not witnessed with her own eyes the cavalry and workers building it brick by brick, she would probably have regarded it as a miracle done by God.

It is so magnificent!

Especially the surface of the disc, without any cloud cover, every ray of light is clearly visible!

They interweave and dance, weaving magnificent paintings of light and shadow that are awe-inspiring.

There was no doubt that from this moment on, the Star Disc would become a symbol of the Empire, just like the Grammer Iron Cavalry.

As long as Firefly's flag remains standing, they will defend it to the death, ensuring that the Star God Disc will forever remain suspended above this blessed land.

Liuying took a deep breath and began her speech:

"People of Grammer, loyal believers, warriors of the Empire, I am honored to express my gratitude to you as an envoy on behalf of the planetary god..."
