Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch.

Page 10

The head maid cares about the commander all the time.

"I think the south is better, meow?"

Akashi also raised his hand.

“The Venetian port is larger than the North Sea port and has a warmer climate.”

"If we build a city inland, subsequent development will be very troublesome, as we will have to build road and railway networks from scratch."

"If we are near the sea, we can solve the problem by relying on our shipping."

Everyone held their own opinion and the argument was evenly matched.

In the end, they could only look at Lu Chen and let him make the decision.

……

"Um……"

Lu Chen held his chin and thought for a while.

The north and the south each have their own advantages when building cities on the original site.

It is easiest to build a city on the original site, as metal minerals can be obtained locally. However, transportation is inconvenient, and subsequent expansion of the city will be affected.

Because the ship girls are a species that adapts to the ocean, although their naval warfare technology is advanced, Lu Chen suspects that they have no technology trees for agriculture and light industry at all.

The ports in the north have convenient transportation and can connect to the seven oceans by sea transportation. However, the port cities cannot be built too large, and the latitude there is too high and very cold.

As for the Port of Venice, the city is not big enough to accommodate a complete industrial and agricultural system.

After thinking about it, Lu Chen was not very satisfied with any of these three places.

"Um……"

"Is there a city with a large enough land area to facilitate the construction of roads, railways and airports in the future, as well as a port for the ship girls to live in, and at the same time, it is very convenient for sea and land transportation and can connect several continents..."

“It would be better if there were more resources nearby.”

His eyes scanned the map.

Out of sentiment, he thought Tianjing was a good location, but it was too far away.

Whether you go by land or by sea, it will take a lot of time.

"Commander, your demands are too high. There is no such place..."

Kewei pouted and muttered to himself.

"Got it! Here!"

Lu Chen pointed at the map.

Everyone leaned over.

It is a place located in the center of the Eurasian continent and is also the dividing line between Europe and Asia.

Constantinople.

Land transportation can connect the entire continent and the seven oceans through the Mediterranean Sea.

For a long time, Constantinople was the largest city in the world and was also known as the "City of World Desire".

After the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, it was renamed Istanbul and entered modern society. Due to various reasons, the city also declined.

However, its superior geographical location and historical significance have never changed.

"This is the former capital of the Roman Empire."

"It will also be the starting point of our journey to the sea of stars."

The picture shows Constantinople

Chapter 13 I need more high energy Brie!

Three weeks later.

Southern Europe.

Under clear skies, a fleet consisting of battleships and aircraft carriers sailed into the Mediterranean from northern Italy.

As soon as the ship girls touched the sea, they became very excited.

Although they said that it was okay to build a city inland, they were more accustomed to sailing in the endless ocean.

In front of the fleet was the flagship of the vanguard fleet, Richelieu.

Several aircraft carriers guarded the flanks, while cruisers and destroyers were a little further away.

Lu Chen stood on the bridge, gazing at the blue sea and sky.

The fleet sailed south, breaking through the waves, bypassing the Balkan Peninsula and heading north to the Aegean Sea.

Finally, a new continent appeared before our eyes.

"Is that Constantinople..."

Richelieu looked at the sea level in the distance and vaguely saw the ruins of a huge city.

It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is a large fjord in the north, the Golden Horn, which is tens of kilometers wide and very suitable for building a naval base.

The terrain is an endless plain with a warm climate, providing ample space for the early development of agriculture and industry, as well as for the future construction of airports and even starship landing and take-off bases.

Even though the city has been destroyed, one can still feel from the wreckage how magnificent a city once was here.

"It's a suitable place to be the capital, right?"

Lu Chen smiled.

"In the future, a megacity larger than the port area can be built here, and from there, it can expand to the entire world."

One of the biggest advantages of rebuilding civilization from scratch is that the entire earth belongs to you.

You can let your imagination run wild on 1.5 million square kilometers of land and 3.6 million square kilometers of ocean.

Build this world into your ideal paradise on earth.

After the fleet docked.

The ship girls put away their main bodies and ship equipment, jumped ashore and prepared supplies.

Their ship equipment can be large or small and can be folded up when not in use. Therefore, it is equivalent to each ship girl having a four-dimensional pocket.

The capacity of the pocket is comparable to the tonnage.

The smallest destroyer can easily carry several thousand tons of supplies. As for aircraft carriers and battleships, their carrying capacity can easily reach tens of thousands of tons.

However, it seems that living things cannot be stuffed in, and it is impossible to stuff one ship girl into the ship outfit of another ship girl like a nesting doll.

The ship girls and Brie took out containers full of materials from the ship's equipment one after another and threw them to the ground with a clang.

Soon, the raw materials brought filled the entire beach.

"..."

Lu Chen looked at the ship girls and felt as if they were casting the mustard seed Sumeru spell.

"I feel like if I bring a ship girl with me, I can rob her from other worlds later. Oh no, bring back a lot of things?"

For no reason, he thought of a mysterious use of this ability.

……

Golden Horn at night.

In the bridge of Richelieu, Lu Chen and several ship girls discussed matters related to building the city.

Before the new city is built, the ship's hull is the best shelter.

"Well, I have some rough ideas and designs for the construction of a new city."

Lu Chen spread out several rolls of design drawings on the table.

This is a sketch made with great effort during the trip.

As a top student of civil engineering in my previous life, I have quite a bit of experience in urban design and planning, among other things.

"Building a city from scratch is troublesome, but I see that Azure World's technology is very advanced, so it shouldn't take long."

"The first step is to clear the debris around the city and the garbage piled in the bay and level the land."

Everyone nodded.

"This is easy. Bri can fix it quickly. We can help."

Although this is a destroyed world, the earth is littered with building debris. Without advanced industrial equipment, it would be very difficult to clean up all the garbage.

"Then, in terms of subsequent construction, I plan to build four major modules first: the port, the agricultural area, the industrial area, and the residential area."

Lu Chen continued his introduction.

"The agricultural area is used for farming. Here, wheat, rice, and everything else can be grown. The industrial area is responsible for the smelting and deep processing of metal ores. The port is where the ship girls live. As for the residential area, we should recruit people from other worlds in the future, so we can reserve some space for them..."

"After the city expands, we can relocate the agricultural and industrial areas and build new scientific research parks. But that's a story for another time..."

His drawings were very professional. The city structure was modeled after Chang'an City, with the central axis as the main road and a neat layout.

They also referred to the advanced experience of a parallel world and planned in advance the locations of airports, highways, high-speed railways, and even airport facilities when building the city.

He spoke seriously and rigorously, leaving the ship girls bewildered.

"Do you understand?"

Lu Chen felt that he had tried his best to explain it in a simple and accessible way.

"No, How about you?"

Richelieu looked at the formidable.

"I do not have either."

Awesome looked at Essex.

"I'm a weapon fighting on the sea, how could I know this?"

Essex looked at Taiho.

"Ah... Commander, you look so handsome when you're serious..."

Dafeng sat on the side, holding her chin, staring at Lu Chen with eyes full of love.

"..."
