96: Explosive development

Another miserable Lord was Tang Guangzhi, his hundred Griffons were almost all dead. This was his most important troop type, and it pained him greatly.

Han Huohuo walked over and patted his shoulder, "Brother, don't worry, I will replenish your troops."

Since things were already like this, Tang Guangzhi could do nothing but say bitterly, "Okay, it's fine."

The giant python obstructing the Tongtian River waterway had disappeared.

This was a world-shattering event.

But at this time, no one knew. Han Huohuo and Han Xin kept silent, and even Hua Mulan and Mu Jiu were unaware.

They only knew that the problem was solved, and then a heavy rain began to fall.

Han Huohuo exempted all the Lords in the Ten Thousand Mountains from one month's tribute.

Everyone cheered.

Then he compensated Tang Guangzhi with a large amount of resources. Tang Guangzhi calculated it and found he hadn't actually lost anything. Boss was loyal, so he also returned happily.

The entire Black Dragon mineral vein under the Tongtian River could actually only be considered a huge mine, where a maximum of thirty people could be sent to collect.

An oil well defaults to three people. Even if the entire Tongtian River was opened up, only ten oil wells could be built.

Han Huohuo already had one at his home, and quickly built nine more oil wells in the river.

They also couldn't be too close to each other.

Ten oil wells began working simultaneously.

The base output of an oil well is 10. Hero bonuses and system bonuses are calculated separately. Mu Jiu increased the output by 100%, which means an additional 10 on top of the base, making the base output 20.

Wheels increase it by 30%, Main Camp increases it by 10%. Together, it's 40%.

So, one oil well produces 28 barrels of black oil every day!

Ten oil wells produce 280 barrels of black oil every day.

This is already a terrifying output. If it were all produced into Plasma Cannons, it would mean seven cannons could be manufactured every day.

Recently, it has been very peaceful here. Han Huohuo chose not to expand his army immediately but saved the black oil.

When the Mecha Workshop upgrades again, it will become a Mecha Factory. Even the name changes, indicating that his Mecha Guards will definitely have a qualitative leap at the next level.

Accumulating twenty thousand black oil will take 71 days!

He can wait!

Han Huohuo looked at some system prompts again. These were the rewards given after he killed Sandru.

[Congratulations, you have killed the number one Hero in the world. All basic attributes increase by ten points, all rare resources increase by fifty, and you have gained an exclusive title, Giant Killer.]

[Giant Killer]: When facing giant-level enemies, attack increases by 30%.

The rewards were simple but very practical.

He put away the resources.

Han Huohuo directly used the bridge blueprint.

Building the bridge first consumed a large amount of resources. This bridge was magnificent, with extremely high arches, connecting the two banks.

The middle section of the bridge could even be raised to allow larger ships to pass through.

Han Huohuo felt this function wasted a lot of rare resources and seemed unnecessary, because he couldn't imagine what kind of ship could have a waterline more than twenty meters high.

Could there be ships even larger than aircraft carriers in this world?

Unimaginable!

The opposite side was also a plain valley.

Three days later, the heavy rain stopped, but the bridge took ten days to build. After it was finished, Han Huohuo immediately sent a large number of robots over to start planting cotton.

With the production of cotton.

Weaving, clothing manufacturing, and various factories in Tongtian City gradually began operations. Subsequently, in addition to the official factories, more and more private factories also started to be established, including lumber mills, furniture factories, and so on.

Han Huohuo, bored, spent half a month researching with several craftsmen, and finally managed to produce a prototype bicycle.

To be honest, the bike was terrible and bumpy because it had no tires.

The wheel rims used sheet metal wrapped around a soft wood for shock absorption, which was just so-so and definitely not as comfortable as inflatable tires.

Fortunately, cotton was already being produced, so wrapping cotton on the seat made it barely rideable.

Han Huohuo personally tested the bike, riding the world's first finalized bicycle through the streets of Tongtian City at high speed.

"Wow!"

"So cool!"

All were exclamations from children.

Han Huohuo never expected that such a terrible bike would be so popular as soon as it was introduced. Before long, people riding these bikes were everywhere in the streets and alleys.

In a daze, it felt just like returning to the 1970s in Dragon Country on Earth.

Ridiculous!

Then this thing was quickly targeted by Tulip and began to be exported on a large scale. This single product could earn Tongtian City hundreds of thousands of gold coins every day.

Resources poured in.

Gold coins surged like a tide.

Unknowingly, Tongtian City had reached the Near Ancient Level 5 city, with a population limit of 50,000. All mechanical soldiers, with the support of Han Xin's skills, only occupied half a population slot, freeing up a large amount of the city's population limit.

Just as Tongtian City achieved explosive development after dealing with Sandru.

The Barbarian King had already truly ignited the conflict with the Great Qian Dynasty. The Barbarians, who had accumulated decades of anger, gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield.

The terrifying Cruel Axe was simply the artifact among artifacts for the Barbarians. For Heroes of other races, it was a useless artifact, but once it was in the Barbarian King's hands, it was too terrifying.

In just over a month, the Barbarian King had already occupied seven cities in the interior.

Han Huohuo didn't care about the battlefield; he was solely focused on developing his own economy.

"I found a good place, very suitable for building a new city. Do you want to go take a look together?"

Mu Jiu's face was flushed red. She had been searching for over a month and finally found a satisfactory location; she was very excited.

Han Huohuo was eating barbecue when Mu Jiu forcefully dragged him away.

Northern Darkness was waiting outside. This guy grew too fast; in less than two months, its wingspan was several meters, already exceeding that of a Griffon.

Mu Jiu pulled Han Huohuo onto Northern Darkness's back. Northern Darkness ran a few steps and then took off.

In just a moment, it flew into the air.

Northern Darkness was indignant, "I'm only two months old and I've been grabbed and made into child labor, it's too miserable!"

Northern Darkness flew much more steadily and much faster than Griffons.

This was just a young bird. When it grew up, having dozens of people on Northern Darkness's back would not be a problem.

Ancient exotic species!

In just over ten minutes, they flew to the place Mu Jiu had chosen. Han Huohuo had looked at the map; there were many Black Stone Mines and iron mines around, which were exactly what he needed.

There was also a small piece of plain where some crops could be planted.

But what was seen on the map was different from the actual site; many details couldn't be seen from the map.

Northern Darkness landed slowly. It found fish in the river, and immediately became energetic, abandoning Han Huohuo and Mu Jiu to go catch fish in the river by itself.

Since the giant python disappeared, the fish in the Tongtian River have become more and more numerous.

It was still spring, and the wildflowers in the wilderness began to bloom. Han Huohuo held Mu Jiu's small hand and walked on the grassland. Little birds chirped and flew overhead.

The weather was nice today.

The climate was pleasant.

This was also a small piece of grassland by the river, and rabbits occasionally ran out of the grass.

It was refreshing and pleasant.

All around were small mountains, with green pines and cypresses, and many birds and animals.

In terms of scenery alone, this place was better than Tongtian City. Not to mention economic development, living here would definitely be the most comfortable vacation spot.
