Chapter 374 Five Parties Join
In the following days, Dawn City was extremely busy, but thanks to the efforts of all parties, it returned to its pre-upgrade state in just one week.
By June 15, Dawn City had completely stabilized. Both the Dawn Army and the City Defense Army had begun normal operations. Since Dawn City brought the ground with it when it arrived, the Air Force and Rocket Force did not need to rebuild the site.
Li Chenglong sat in front of his office, flipping through the Dawn Tower's manual, while Yun Lan sat sideways on his lap, looking at it alongside him and offering her suggestions as they read. The Dawn Tower is currently 160 meters tall, with 140 meters in use; it definitely needs careful planning.
Currently, the first floor of the Dawn Tower has a usable area of 3200 square meters. Li Chenglong has already made plans to set up all of this area as a public service office and service hall. All departments that directly serve the general public of Dawn City must set up service stations or offices here, and work efficiency must be improved to avoid long queues.
The second floor has a usable area of 3000 square meters. Apart from the viewing platform in front, the rest of the floor is a large conference hall. Next to the conference hall, there is a reception room, which is used to receive people from other bases or even other countries.
The third and fourth floors have usable areas of 2800 square meters and 2600 square meters respectively. Both floors are office floors, where most of the department heads or section chiefs of Shuguang City have their offices. Deputy City Lord Ma Tiancheng's office is located on the fourth floor for convenient work.
The fifth floor is the staff canteen, with a usable area of 2400 square meters. The staff canteen will no longer be separated, but will be on the same floor. The left side is the Northern Canteen and the right side is the Southern Canteen, so that the staff can eat here can enjoy the cuisine of various regions without going up and down the stairs.
The sixth floor has a usable area of 2200 square meters, which has been converted into a library. It is divided into two areas: the left side is the data area and the right side is a small library. Both are managed by dedicated personnel. All the data of Dawn City and Dawn Army are stored here, including both paper and digital versions.
The 7th floor has a usable area of 2000 square meters. In addition to the area occupied by the elevator, walls and corridors, there is 1750 square meters of living space. With the area increased, everyone's rooms naturally became larger as well. Except for Li Chenglong's city lord office and the city lord's assistant office, which remained unchanged at 50 square meters, the living space of everyone else increased accordingly.
The homes of Li Chenglong and Yun Lan are now 200 square meters, as are the homes of Ma Tiancheng and Pei Qiujuan. At their strong request, the homes of Qi Guoan and Qin Fangyu have been expanded to 100 square meters. The temporary rest rooms of the two city lord assistants, Wang Jie and Pei Ji, have also been expanded to 25 square meters each.
Of the remaining 1150 square meters of living space, 50 square meters were used as storage rooms, leaving 1100 square meters. This living space was divided equally into 11 parts and given to 11 people, including Li Xue and Han Xiaoling. Except for Li Xue, all of them were members of the Special Support Section for Information Processing.
These 100-square-meter residential areas all have two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and one kitchen. Some even have a small balcony in the master bedroom and living room.
The 8th floor has an area of 1800 square meters. The left side is mostly occupied by the central information management department, while the right side contains the offices of the special information processing support section and designated rest areas. These rest areas are generally the same as the 100-square-meter rest areas on the 7th floor, but they are smaller, only 80 square meters, and there are only 6 of them.
Floors 9 and 10 remain entirely dedicated to leisure and entertainment, covering 1600 square meters and 1500 square meters respectively. They feature indoor basketball, indoor five-a-side football, volleyball, badminton, and billiards. The 10th floor also has a console game area with various consoles and games; those who enjoy these games can come and play, provided it doesn't interfere with work.
The 11th floor houses a gym, specially reinforced during the initial design phase to facilitate workouts for those with supernatural abilities. Floors 12 through 17 are the work area for Dawn City Television; they applied to move into the Dawn Tower for work purposes, which Li Chenglong approved, even granting them six floors for use. Floors 18 through 20 are the residential area, responsible for hosting guests visiting Dawn City.
It's worth noting that floors 11 through 20 have a fixed area of 1400 square meters each. Floors 21 through 30 also have a fixed area of 1000 square meters each. Currently, the 30th floor of the Dawn Tower remains an observation deck, while floors 28 and 29 house the tower's upscale Chinese and Western restaurants. Some floors are not yet utilized; Li Chenglong stated that they will be considered later when a better idea comes up.
After the main control computer on the 8th floor completed the setup for these areas, the computer automatically used the interior decoration materials to quickly carry out the renovation. The entire building's renovation work only took two days. Moreover, because it utilized the latest technology from Planet Merar, the renovation quality was excellent and there was absolutely no pollution.
After Lilith upgraded to the highest level, the coverage of the Crystal Network, centered on Dawn Tower, was greatly improved. Now the coverage radius has reached 2000 kilometers, covering almost all areas in China except for some places far from Dawn City. With the construction of large base stations throughout China, the Crystal Network has achieved full coverage. Even the Zombie Empire in southern China has begun to use the Crystal Network.
The expansion of Dawn City alarmed the China headquarters. Although Li Chenglong had prepared a report beforehand, the area was simply too large. Chen Guoqiang and the others were astonished when they watched the aerial video of the new Dawn City taken from within Dawn City. Meanwhile, three medium-sized and two small bases in the Eastern Theater Command began contacting Dawn City, preparing to join its ranks.
After consulting with the Huaxia headquarters, Li Chenglong decided to incorporate all the nearby small and medium-sized bases. Of course, a thorough review would be conducted; bad apples would not be allowed to join, and those who committed crimes would be dealt with accordingly. Chen Guoqiang strongly agreed with this. Dawn City was developing so well; incorporating more people still suffering from poverty would be a good thing for the country and its people.
According to Li Chenglong's plan, only Shuguang City, Feiyun Base, and Qingshui Base will remain in the Eastern Theater Command. This will facilitate coordination during battles and make attacks smoother. As for other small and medium-sized bases, those that can be absorbed will be absorbed, and those that cannot will be dealt with in some way. Extraordinary measures will be used for extraordinary circumstances.
What he hadn't expected was that those small and medium-sized bases had long wanted to join Dawn City. As soon as they heard that the expanded Dawn City was recruiting again, the leaders of those bases immediately came to Dawn City to request to join. In just a few days, five small and medium-sized bases around Dawn City joined in unison, increasing Dawn City's population to 34.
Currently, Dawn City's grain reserves are sufficient to feed at least 40 people. A few days ago, tens of thousands of acres of winter wheat were harvested, and corn has been planted. There are also tens of thousands of acres of ordinary Dawn rice, which, with irrigation from over a thousand water-elemental ability users, can be harvested three times during the summer and autumn months.
On June 20th, a report was delivered to Li Chenglong. Dawn City currently has a population of 342155, of which 16204 are superhumans. Among these superhumans, there are two level 12 individuals, 164 level 11 individuals, 1088 level 10 individuals, and 574 level 9 individuals. Construction is proceeding rapidly in the expanding areas of Dawn City. Large tracts of farmland have been reclaimed, houses are springing up, and supporting facilities are being built, creating a thriving scene.
Li Chenglong estimated that once these places were developed, Dawn City could provide a comfortable life for a million people. Moreover, by starting with key points and expanding outwards, China's confidence in fighting the alien coalition would grow stronger and stronger.
