Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

"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 a road and railway network 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 built cities on the original site, each with its own advantages.

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 it over, 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, and 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 there by land or by sea, it will take a lot of time.

"Commander, your requirements 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 also the dividing line between Europe and Asia.

Constantinople.

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

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

Pictured is Constantine Castle.

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 came into contact with 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 were guarding the flanks, with cruisers and destroyers a little further away.

Lu Chen stood on the bridge, looking out 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 tens of kilometers wide in the north, the Golden Horn, which is 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 ruins how magnificent a city once existed 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 be measured in 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 one after another and threw them on 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 with the ship girls, I can rob from other worlds in the future. 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 the Richelieu, Lu Chen and several ship girls discussed matters related to building a city.

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

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

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

This is a sketch that I made with great effort during my trip.

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

"It's troublesome to build a city from scratch, but I see that the technology in Azure World 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. Brie 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 large 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. Wheat and rice can be grown here. The industrial area is responsible for the smelting and deep processing of metal minerals. The port is where the ship girls live. As for the residential area, people from other worlds should be recruited in the future. We can reserve some places for them first..."

"After the city expands in the future, we can relocate the agricultural and industrial areas and build new scientific research parks, but that's a story for later..."

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.

In addition, with reference to the advanced experience of a parallel world, the locations of airports, highways, high-speed railways, and even airport facilities were planned in advance when building the city.

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

"Do you understand?"

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

"No, How about you?"

Richelieu looked at the formidable.

"I do not have either."

Awesome looked towards Essex.

"I am a weapon fighting on the sea, how can I know these things?"

Essex looked at Taiho.

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

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

"..."

Lu Chen felt torn apart.

That's right, they haven't studied civil engineering and urban planning.

Suddenly, a Kimbre in the room raised his hand.

"Brie got it!!"

"To build a house, we need to build a city!"

"Can you read the blueprints?"

Lu Chen was startled and handed the architectural drawings to the blond boy holding the drill.

"I can see burin!"

"As long as there are materials, Burin can make anything!!!"

The trial model Brie seemed very excited.

Lu Chen was overjoyed, feeling that he had met a soulmate, and pulled Brie to sit down.

"Come on, come on, do you understand this construction drawing?"

"Brie doesn't need construction drawings, you just tell Bree what to build."

“When you build a building, do you do structural mechanics analysis?”
