Alien Knights

As of the end of September in 1171, the population of Muxi Town officially exceeded 8,000. Looking at the entire Yuexi Plain, this coastal town is already ranked fourth in terms of population, second only to Silver Ring City, Holy Acropolis, and Lonely Rock City.

While the population boom brought economic development to Muxi Town, it also caused a series of social problems.

First, and probably the most serious problem, is immigration discrimination. Although Muxi Town does not have any restrictions on the immigration of immigrants, and does not treat old residents and new immigrants differently, this does not mean that there are no group differences in Muxi Town.

The residents of the town were secretly divided into several factions according to the time of migration. Residents who moved in earlier occupied better resources. For example, the residence is closer to the center of the town, the relic of "Muxi Mutual Aid Society" is in hand, the accumulation of wealth is faster, the education of children is better, and so on.

The old residents generally hold a contemptuous or even hostile attitude towards the new immigrants. On the one hand, the former believed that the latter disturbed the law and order of Muxi Town and occupied resources; on the other hand, it was because the new immigrants, as cheap labor, reduced the employment space of the old residents.

In addition, there are other issues such as health, infrastructure, planning and so on. As the administrative center, the Muxi Knights, due to the military management method and the lack of necessary political means and public institutions, are always somewhat powerless in dealing with these problems.

Putting these social issues aside, in terms of public development, several new large buildings have been added to Muxi Township.

The first is the Grand Bazaar. Originally, Todd and Joe's plan was a collection of medium-sized markets and warehouses for vendors and merchants to trade. However, due to the establishment of Beidao, Muxi Town, and the Southern Empire trade route, the scale of the market has been expanded repeatedly, and finally built into a large market including an open-air market, an exchange, a commercial club, and a goods warehouse.

The second is theater. Due to the gradual prosperity of literature and drama in Muxi Town, residents have higher and higher demands for entertainment and spiritual enjoyment. The Muxi Literary Society, headed by the writer Hans, built a medium-sized theater with self-funded funds in order to change the simple performance venue like a tent. The architectural design imitates the amphitheater of the ancient Taylor period, but the open-air auditorium is changed to a closed one, and the original single-story structure is expanded into a double-layer.

The third is the library. Huggins brought the monks and books from San Sidro Abbey to Muxi Town. Joe mobilized all the monks to donate more than 5,000 silver coins from familiar merchants and rich people, and officially built the Muxi Library. There are reading seats and a printing room in the library. The reading room is open to residents of Muxi Town free of charge, and the printing room provides services for a fee.

In addition to the three large public buildings mentioned above, Muxi Town has also renovated its defenses, upgraded roads, built parks, changed the cleaning of the town from the original contract system to the employment system, and improved the efficiency of public services.

In terms of military affairs, the Muxi Knights have already occupied one-third of the territory of the Silver Ring Kingdom, plundering a total of wealth equivalent to 1.25 million silver coins. The military officials headed by Cumberland suggested to Todd that the pace of expansion should be suspended and the occupied land should be digested instead. Especially for such an important resource place as the North Quarry, once a way is found to re-mine it, it will be a huge impetus for the development of Muxi Town.

Then there is the scientific progress. Todd ordered the construction of a research academy in the headquarters of the Knights Order, and moved most of the experimental equipment and raw material bottles and jars in the small experimental building here. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night, he will give a lecture in the college, the content is the basic subjects of past life science, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., and the teaching objects are all scientific researchers.

Under such an arrangement, the scientific research team in Muxi Town greatly reduced the normal scientific cognition process, and a large number of works beyond the times were completed and published. For example, Kendi wrote "Theory of the Origin of Electric Particles" in Common Language and Arabic, Ulysses completed "Industrial Application of Gear Machinery", Lynn's "Gravity and Interaction Force" and so on.

In terms of alien species, the number of alien species in Muxi Town has reached 600, and the number of successors has exceeded 90. The ability library has expanded from the original twenty-six kinds of abilities to forty-seven kinds. Due to the activeness of the heroic lone wolf and the performance of the Muxi defense battle, the alien species has gradually been accepted by ordinary people, and the infamy of "devil's posthumous child" is hard to hear. The aliens have integrated into the daily life in Muxi Town, and they have won the favor and praise of merchants and employers by using their abilities in fishing grounds, workshops, handicraft workshops and other places.

In terms of ability research, there is good news and bad news. Let me talk about the bad news first. Different from ordinary abilities, Rachel's "Mind Power", Karin's "Attachment" and Queen Mary's "Super Memory", although the effects of the abilities are extremely powerful, there is no way to copy them. As a result, research on such "advanced abilities" has stagnated and entered a dead end.

Besides the good news, the research team led by Todd has achieved great results in the research of the North Island ruins.

The clue came from Sutherland bacteria in fossils. Since the archaea can seal the supernatural bacteria in the body, after research, Todd isolated some supernatural bacteria from the remains of the North Island monster from the archaea. As for the function of these bacteria, he was unable to conduct a clinical analysis. Because these fossil bacteria are so powerful that the existing human body functions cannot bear these terrible microorganisms at all. Even those heirs who have archaea in their bodies cannot avoid the ensuing fatal consequences when using these exotic bacteria.

Todd speculates that the reason why the creatures in the North Island ruins can use these supernatural bacteria is because their physical functions are stronger than humans on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may be because they have a way to reduce the side effects of supernatural powers.

But these are just guesses. If you want to find the answer, it seems that you have to put your hope in the ruins of Beidao.

With this in mind, Todd plans to go to the North Island again to excavate and explore the ruins in order to seek the truth buried in time.

Morgan of the Blackhead tribe once transported seafood, and when he passed Muxi Town, he learned about Todd's thoughts and gave him advice.

It is almost impossible to excavate and develop the ruins without the consent of the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie's family motto is to protect the relics at all costs, and Todd has only two ways to get their approval.

One is to go to war with the Valkyrie and directly make the tribe submit to Todd.

The second is to find a way to get them to allow the development of the ruins.

Todd thought for a long time, and finally focused on the "Harem Artifact" he had just completed - pheromone concentrate.
