Chapter 529 System
At present, there are five communities in Black Flag City, corresponding to five chairmen. Although the chairmen do not serve as district heads, they represent the interests of each community and are elected by the people in the community.
Of course, this term is directly appointed by Li Meng, and the next term will need to be elected.
The term of office has been changed from five years to ten years, and elections are held every ten years, and they can be re-elected for two terms.
But building a city is not a simple matter and requires time to build.
Intelligent Brain: "Two months is enough. Before you have enough housing, you can migrate to Black Flag City in small batches. There are many vacant rooms in each community of Black Flag City that can accommodate some people."
There are a total of 170,000 people in Shangyang City. It is impossible for so many people to live in one community, and diversion is inevitable.
The division of communities is just for the convenience of management. People living in each community are citizens of Black Flag City. They have the right to stay in the existing community and the right to live in other communities.
Identity information is universal in all communities, and what is divided is the administrative management area, not people.
Shangyang City has surrendered, and the people in Shancheng are still Qingcheng, Shucheng, Xiangcheng, and Yuancheng. Although the locations of these four cities have been obtained, Li Meng does not intend to attack them immediately.
Let's wait until the 170,000 people in Shangyang City are digested. There is no rush. The four cities have lived in the original continent for so long and have the ability to protect themselves. They will not disappear from the world in a year or two.
With a thoughtful look on his face, Li Meng thought of the Chiman Beast Clan in Hefei City.
Should we launch a full-scale attack on the Chiman Beast Clan in Hefei City?
Now that the "God's Hammer" heaven-level weapon has been launched, Black Flag City has the ability to kill the mother body, but the military strength is still a little less, and the advantage is not great.
For the settlement circle plan, Li Meng wants to use the superior force to push the alien beast tribes in the Central Plains all the way, but Black Flag City does not have this strength at the moment.
With the current military strength of Black Flag City, if it launches an attack on the Chiman Beast Clan in Hefei City, even if it wins, the losses will definitely be considerable, and it will take a lot of time to recover.
If this continues, it will take a long time to eliminate the strange beasts in the Central Plains.
Thinking of this, Li Meng asked: "Intelligent Brain, how fast is the construction of the "Flying Ant" gunboat?"
Calculating the time, it has been more than a month since the construction of the "Flying Ant" gunboat started. If the construction speed of more than a month is considerable, it may not be long before Black Flag City will have a huge "Flying Ant" gunboat fleet.
Blue light flashed, and a holographic model appeared in the air next to the intelligent brain.
Compared with the previous "Flying Ant" gunboat model, today's "Flying Ant" gunboat is a little different.
"In order to make the "Flying Ant" gunboat more comprehensive and able to deal with various types of targets, Engineer No. 1 upgraded it and installed two twin 100mm magnetic acceleration guns and a launcher that can accommodate 36 missiles of various types. The ground-to-ground capability has been enhanced, and the construction period has also been extended. So far, 17 "Flying Ant" gunboats have been launched, with an average of one launched every two days. A total of five heavy industry companies participated in the construction of the "Flying Ant" gunboat."
This construction is not fast, but not slow. Compared with the "Avenger" frigate, the "Flying Ant" gunboat, which is only 60 meters long, is much easier to build. Five heavy industry companies participated in the construction, and each heavy industry company will build multiple "Flying Ant" gunboats at the same time. As long as the manpower and production capacity can keep up, it is possible to build more than a dozen or even dozens of ships at the same time. On average, a "Flying Ant" gunboat is launched every two days.
Li Meng asked: "Are there any problems with resources?"
Intelligent Brain: "Yes, it is barely enough. Due to the shortage of titanium ore resources, 80% of titanium resources are used in the "Avenger" series of warships. In order to save titanium resources, the metal used by the "Flying Ant" gunboat is ordinary secondary titanium alloy, whose strength is only one-third of C-grade titanium alloy. Ten percent of the precision components in the "Flying Ant" gunboat come from the Black Flag Empire Forward Base, which has caused a great waste of various rare resources."
There is no way around it. There is too much knowledge involved in an advanced warship. With the current capabilities of Black Flag City, it is impossible to produce all of them by itself. Many precision components must be exchanged from the Black Flag Empire Forward Base.
Although there are alternative solutions, the combat capability of combat units will be greatly affected.
After all, the large military units of Black Flag City are unmanned, and the reliability of electronic components is very high.
Now Black Flag City is in a period of great development. With sufficient manpower, resources are never enough.
Do you want to wait a little longer?
Li Meng was a little hesitant. If he waited another two months, the first batch of female demons would hatch from their shells in the underground of the red zone of Qing'an City. The number of female demons should exceed fifty, which is a considerable combat force, and the number of ordinary units of the Red Queen Clan would also increase greatly.
Although there is a powerful species called "Banshee", Li Meng did not give up other species of the Red Queen Clan.
Although the female demons are strong, their hatching speed is too slow, and they will also consume a lot of energy from the fungal blanket. For example, the fungal blanket of ordinary red dogs can hatch thousands or even tens of thousands of them at a time, but female demons can only hatch dozens of them at the same time, and the time is still very long, which takes 3-5 months, while ordinary alien beasts only need 1-2 months.
Moreover, when hatching female demons, all the energy of the fungal blanket will be concentrated on the female demons, which will stop the hatching of ordinary alien beasts, which also put Li Meng in a dilemma.
Is it to hatch banshees to improve the quality of the Red Queen's clan, or to hatch ordinary alien beasts to increase the number of the Red Queen's clan?
Li Meng thought about this question for a long time, and finally chose a more compromised method.
There must be quantity and quality. Ants bite elephants to death. No matter how strong the banshees are, they will be slowly worn down by enemies tens of thousands of times more. There must be a sufficient number of ordinary alien beasts to share the pressure for them. Only in this way can the banshees have room to play and fight more persistently on the battlefield.
Li Meng set a value for the number of banshees, that is, one thousand. In the Red Queen's clan, one thousand banshees are enough. There is no need to have more, and the pressure on the fungal blanket will be greater.
In the alien beast tribe, there is also the concept of logistics.
The task of the fungal blanket is not only to hatch alien beasts, but also to provide food for them.
Although the alien beasts can absorb various radiations and energy to provide their own consumption, they are inefficient. The main food of the alien beasts comes from a liquid secreted by the fungal blanket.
Although the Banshee can absorb solar radiation and her hair, which is an energy-absorbing device, can effectively absorb the energy of solar radiation, it is impossible to satisfy the body's consumption by absorbing solar radiation with hair alone. It takes a very long time. If she wants to replenish energy quickly, she can only return to the fungal mat and use her tail to directly absorb the energy in the fungal mat.
