Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 321 321 Building Lanes

Lions was originally a small city, and everything here is very ordinary. The only thing worthy of praise is that it is next to the Lions River, and the transportation by the river is quite convenient.

However, the recent changes here have made it difficult for people who have lived here for generations to understand.

Because they saw outside their own city that someone was building a large platform, which was about one meter high, and there was a row of thick concrete pillars in the middle.

Then, steel began to extend from the top of these concrete pillars to the sides, and finally workers built veins on these extended steel frames, and then attached bricks and tiles.

It is like a huge gazebo, and a concrete avenue connects this gazebo with the original city.

People in Bunas who are familiar with all this know that this is building a railway station, and it is a very large-scale railway station.

A railway will run west from here to the old King Wright City, which is now Yucheng.

Soon the railways will be connected into a network. One line goes north to Ice Crystal City, and then goes straight to Beiling Wolf City, and one line goes west to Yucheng, and then continues westward from Yucheng to Bunas.

Of course, there is another railway that will be built to the south, and Yucheng will serve as a transportation hub, connecting to Dorne King City to complete the basic construction of the entire railway network.

And all of this takes time to accumulate, and it takes a kilometer by kilometer of railways to be fully laid and built.This requires countless steel materials and the joint efforts of countless workers.

As a brand-new railway connection point, the railway station in Lyons will also start laying railways. This railway will start to extend to both sides, connecting Yucheng on one side and the Gemelin area on the other.

This magnificent railway station epitomizes the recent changes in Lyons.In addition to this railway station, a huge waterworks is still being built here, and many roads have been dug in the city to bury water supply pipelines.

What is still under construction at the same time is a complete set of urban sewer systems. This system is based on the design of Bunas. It can be said to be one of the most advanced urban sewer systems in the world.

In addition, an imperial palace was built almost at the same time, a real, very luxurious palace where the emperor lived and worked.

There are also supporting power plants, factories and workshops for building various industrial products... This place is simply a huge construction site, and construction is going on everywhere.

On the side of the city, there is another piece of land under crazy construction, which will become the most luxurious commercial street in the new city.

According to the construction plan of Datang Group, this place will become a wealthy district, full of shops and complete supporting infrastructure.

And the land price here will be frighteningly high, only the richest empire rich and powerful are eligible to live in this area.

As the Datang Group that built this business district, it will rely on real estate to obtain a huge amount of funds, which will make everyone envious of the funds.

It is not a simple matter to become an empire. Wright's ministers have countless things to deal with recently, so they simply can't take into account such trivial matters as a certain consortium hyping up the housing prices in the capital.

What's more, even if someone saw it, no one would bother with such nosy matters.Because the Datang Group has given each of them a house, they are the most direct beneficiaries of the construction of this commercial area.

As for His Majesty the future Emperor Lions I, he will not bother with these trivial matters, because he has a palace under construction, and he is the one who earns the most in this real estate development area.

To accentuate the grandeur of the new imperial capital, a very wide straight avenue runs through the entire city.

It is completely impossible to buy old private houses and transform them, so this straight road that traverses the entire imperial capital is actually the dividing point between the old and new urban areas.

The old urban areas are basically renovation work, and generally will not start construction immediately. The new urban areas include the imperial palace and the wealthy business district, as well as the railway station and the new wharf...

Such a huge expansion project actually costs less time and effort than building a new city in the past.

On the one hand, it is because of the improvement of construction technology and the extensive application of cement, and on the other hand, it is also because the new imperial capital does not consider building a city wall.

After all, the city wall is completely unable to play a serious defensive role in the face of ever-changing weapons.

75mm caliber howitzers and 80mm caliber mortars can actually damage the city walls.

If it is replaced by a 105mm caliber howitzer, or a 120 caliber mortar, then this kind of damage is very effective.

The artillery fire can easily destroy the city wall, and the defenders concentrated on the city wall have become a very obvious target. This is not the result that the city commander wants to see.

As for the new method of defending the city, it is still being explored. One of the more mainstream tactics is to destroy the enemies close to the city in the field, instead of putting the enemy into the city to fight.

However, in the Datang Military Academy, a research group has begun to study the theory of urban street warfare, but at least for now, this tactic is really not mainstream.

So today's city wall has only one purpose left, which is to detain civilians in the city, restrain them and improve their security level, and make it easier to seal a city.

However, these functions are really insignificant compared with the cost of building the city wall.The conclusion that the city wall restricts the development of a city is now accepted by many people.

Don't you see, Bunas, as the largest city in the world, has long since canceled such things as city walls.

Its original, seemingly insignificant old city wall has been completely demolished, leaving no traces.

Where the city wall was originally built, high-rise buildings have been erected, and these buildings are much taller than the original city wall.

Therefore, according to the plan, the old city wall of Lyons is about to be demolished, and the stones from the city wall will be used to build new buildings such as the railway station and the royal palace.

The old residents of Lyons even felt fear about this, because their ancestors lived under the protection of the city wall. Losing this high wall made them suddenly lose their support, and it also made them start to panic.

However, all this is destined to be temporary, because soon they will find that their life will be much easier without the shackles of the city wall.

In fact, Lions is not the only city whose city walls are being demolished. Yucheng and Wolf City are also demolishing their city walls. As for Dragon City and Weigang, there is no plan to build city walls there at all.

And some other things have begun to make their lives look completely different-Lines, as an ancient small town, has never had such a thing as a crane.

In particular, this is a new type of equipment powered by an engine, a thing of great strength made entirely of steel.

What the children in Lyons are most willing to do every day is to squat not far away, watching the fixed cranes on the construction site, easily hoisting goods that can only be lifted by dozens of people to a high place.

This is an unprecedented experience, especially decompression and healing...

In addition, besides looking at the cranes, they have another good place to go to the temporary camp outside the city to see the cars they have never seen before.

For these children, cars are definitely a new thing, and it is a miracle that they can drive without being dragged by horses.

The army of the Wright Kingdom was equipped with hundreds of T-type cars, and many of them were improved models of T-type cars.

However, the staff of the Datang Group are equipped with a variety of cars.Some of the stewards had already switched their cars to the latest limousines.

Workers also had the option of heavier, easier-to-drive trucks that were taller than the more common Model T, both in appearance and in actual functionality.

The development of Datang Group is really too fast, so fast that it makes the world deformed and mysterious.

Nowadays, there are only horse-drawn carriages in many places, but in some extreme cases, automobiles from 1935, automobiles from 1913, horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws can appear in one picture.

Railroads have shown their unique role in warfare, but much more of the world doesn't even have a decent dirt road...  

This is the reality, Tang Mo is about to manufacture the world's first airplane, but some armies...or the vast majority of armies in the world are still using flintlock guns...

In Bunas, most people are used to independent toilets and running water systems, but these things are not fully popularized even in Yucheng.

In Bunas, the power supply coverage rate has reached more than 90.00%, but in other parts of the world, there may not even be a single wire.

In Bunas, many important departments have begun to equip telephones for real-time voice communication, but other than here, communication in other cities may basically rely on "running errands" services.

In Burnas gangsters might have revolvers of all sizes, but in other cities rangers might still roam the streets with longswords.

In Bunas, doctors have even begun to inject patients with drugs to treat various diseases, but in other cities, bloodletting is still popular, witch doctors are even a craft, and asking God to pray is also a respected ritual. "Effective" medical means...

Now, these changes are about to come to Lions. In the near future, this previously unknown small city will become the capital of the Lions Empire and a new city that attracts worldwide attention.

Here, you can see... a brilliant future.
