Build a planet from scratch

Chapter 42 - Fang Hongcai's Talk

The recruitment was just as Xu Bing guessed, until that night at more than 11 o'clock, when the mission reward settlement, many people saw the recruitment appeared at the gate, but also just curious as a topic, in the official website exchange area said to play.

"...... total settlement of more than 74,000 yuan, the reward amount has been fully distributed."

Xu Bing sat on a chair in the central park behind the bookstore and listened to his assistant's report.

"Books and equipment have been added today, though."

Xu Bing clicked on the workshop and looked at the books, plants, animals, a few minerals, some buildings and other things were all uploaded by the assistant. Nor did he look at them much.

These had all been carried out according to the plan.

Everything that belonged to the municipality was hidden in the mall, and prices, quantities and discounts were also set according to the categories.

Thus he didn't need to worry about it.

"There are already 1.5 million books of all types in the workshop, and if we put them in, the bookstore would be too saturated to accommodate them. Mayor, do you want to stop the mission? If it continues, new libraries will need to be added."

"No need to stop, the books have not been put in yet. Put in as many as you have. I'll add another one if I don't have enough in the future, but I'll build a bigger one. There is no hurry."

Books are a huge expense, and although many have been scanned in, he hasn't put any in yet.

Books were directly classified under the fourth-level category [Book City], which in turn fell under the third-level category [Pavilion], and above the Pavilion was the second-level category [Government Agencies], and finally, only then under [Municipalities].

This series of branches, Xu Bing are not able to resist the system's categorization.

It was fortunate that the system classified them automatically, otherwise they would have come to .......

Oh.

"Assistant, how many books can the bookstore hold?" Xu Bing asked.

"Classified by subject, 430,000 books are expected." The assistant said.

"Then put 430,000 copies by subject. No selling, only borrowing. The first thing you need to do is to get a copy of the book, and then you can use it. A person $10 per month will do, and I don't think anyone will be reading here.

It's also a good idea to set up a time when you can borrow a book or take it away from the bookstore. If the book is returned damaged, it will be compensated according to the original price of the book."

"Already recorded, the implementation of the ...... time is expected to be one minute."

At this time, Xu Bing suddenly asked: "Assistant, no new findings from the fossil scan?"

"No," the assistant responded, "There were a number of scans, but they were invalid." The assistant responded, "There were many scans, but they were all invalid."

Xu Bing thought about it and said, "Modify this task slightly."

"In the record ......."

"If there are any clues worth collecting in Pangaea, reward them according to the reward ratio. If not, reward a hard-earned money bar and give a $100. Of course, the number of scans cannot be less than 100. Assistant, just modify it according to this idea."

"Recorded."

He wasn't going to get any museums at the moment, he could add more in the future if needed, but this thing was of no use in Pan Gu City at the moment.

Things a little explanation out, he also left Pangu City, his mind back to the hotel.

The time is already 0:00, Xu Bing touched his stomach, dinner has not eaten yet.

He left the hotel and wanted to go out for a late night snack.

When he left the hotel, his eyes were dark.

He didn't even know where to go.

He looked for the nearest barbecue place on his phone and walked along the road.

When he arrived at a shack barbecue place, it was also full of people.

But the good news was that there were seats.

The waiter showed me the way, and I took a separate seat for two.

However, there were two chairs side by side in his place.

The waiter immediately moved one chair to the opposite side.

Xu Bing also noticed that the next table was vacated by a customer.

The person eating was a man in a wheelchair.

Perhaps he noticed that Xu Bing was looking at him, the other man smiled at him and nodded his head in greeting.

Because he hadn't eaten in the evening, Xu Bing ordered a lot of food.

Afterwards, he checked the official website on his phone.

"Hongcai, no need to say anything else, it's not difficult to take out the strength you had back then to create a city's design."

The words from next door made Xu Bing's attention pause.

"Told you. It's okay to let me design a garden community, it's no good to let me design a city."

Fang Hongcai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said cryptically.

"The main reason is that the time is too short, it's only been half a month, it's enough to create a design for a community garden, but a community is simply not possible."

Fang Hongcai ate the skewer of lamb in his hand as he said.

"The design that this event wants is said to be a design for the development of the city, but I reckon it should not be a design plan for a community garden, but an overall plan. The community garden will either be developed by the people behind Pangu City, or learn from the real world and hand it over to the developer.

DeCai, I've seen the map, and you've said that there are only the Renaissance Garden, the Book City, the Central Park, and the government agencies. So that means that the people behind the scenes are not thinking of developing it themselves. Otherwise, they would have quickly built more garden communities.

So the development of this Pangu City is expected to be the same as the outside, where the people behind the scenes are planning the overall layout role, what that land is used for, and what this land will be used for in the future. So, this detailed to local, it will be handed over to the real estate developers, that is, the players you said to develop."

When Xu Bing heard this, he already understood what they were talking about.

He didn't expect that the man in the wheelchair would understand so thoroughly. Although there were some things he didn't think about for so long, but this person said, I felt that I was really "far-sighted" ah.

The young man called De Cai said, "So you're designing the one you're guessing at?

Fang Hongcai shook his head slightly: "It's not that simple to design, it's only half a month. I've been studying the map tonight. But I've never been inside, and I don't know the detailed data inside, so it's hard to say if I want to design it. However, I asked you to come over tonight because I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Lin De Cai nodded, "Go ahead."

"First, I want to know the area of all the areas. Although the official website gives maps, it doesn't give area data. Oh yes, the rest of the dungeons don't need to be detailed, just approximate, I want the detailed data of Chang'an Street Road."

"Why?"

Lin De Cai was stunned. Although he was also a designer, he could not reach the height of his senior brother. He had not learned a lot of experience. Therefore, he has been studying behind Fang Hongcai. Just this year's things, sobbing very much.

Fang Hong just took a sip of his drink and smiled.

"In design, you have to understand the needs of the client. It's not that we can design just because we want to, but we have to design from a scientific point of view, slightly towards the client's psychological bias, so that you can make the design solutions that the client needs.

But there should be a certain degree of this bias, and we have to control the general direction ourselves to design a reasonable solution that fits the surrounding environment. You can't just say this is what the client wants, this is what we draw. What can be biased is the details.

Look, although the official website says you want an urban development design plan, you have to take into account several other circumstances."

"What?" Lin De Cai focused on the question.

"First, is what I just said, the time situation, half a month to design an overall plan for Pangu City, that's not realistic. So the scope of this is narrowed down. It can only be downtown."

"Uh-huh." Lin De Cai put his hands on the table and listened carefully.

"Second, the number of players! You don't know the exact number of players right now, but it's estimated to be in the hundreds. Even if you add the 980 that are being released in the current campaign. That's not more than 2,000 people, right?

The problem is that there is so much land and so few people that it would take at least 100,000 people to fill up a rich and strong community to the level of prosperity and excitement. So, to do the design, the developer wants a short-term concentration effect, not a long-term outlook, which is not in the interest."

Lin De Cai was confused and wondered, "No, brother, what are you trying to say? I don't understand."

At this moment, next to Xu Bing, a person brought over a plate with the meat skewers he had ordered.

Xu Bing vacated the distance a bit and continued to listen to the two people at the next table.

Fang Hongcai said, "Simply put, the population of Pangu City is so small that it would be a waste to develop such a large territory all at once. So, my guess is that the people in control of Pangu City, just like outside developers, will develop it in batches. Then the scope narrows down again."

"You mean, narrowed down again from downtown?" Lin De Cai asked.

Fang Hongcai nodded his head.

Lin De Cai asked after him, "Brother, you're not just designing and introducing the street plan, are you?"

Fang Hongcai nodded: "The street is the second plan, my plan is a community design. Didn't I just say that? A community is at least a few square kilometers in size. Now that the number of players is small, it is useless to give a design plan for nine communities on Chang'an Avenue.

What developers want is the short-term benefits of concentration, and only when this benefit is there can they expand outward. Only when the rich and strong communities have almost developed will they expand outward.

But this takes into account the second plan for the long street. So I need you to look at the area of the nine communities on Chang'an Avenue for me, because that will involve factories. Because it will involve factories. If there are players opening a large number of factories, farming land, farming, etc., the area of this rich and strong community is far from enough."

After saying that, Fang Hongcai drank a drink and ate a meat skewer.

It dawned on Lin De, "You're submitting two designs? But is there time for that?"

"It won't be difficult. Because it's not about designing a community garden for the whole long street, it's about urban planning. Just the planning, half a month, should be enough." Fang Hongcai said.

"Elder brother is elder brother! The strength is unmatched. By the way, isn't Tian Yi still waiting for you to return? You're not considering it?" Lin De Cai said.

"Don't think too much about it for now. It's good to get to know Pangu City first. Money is not tight right now." Fang Hongcai said.
