Chapter 227 [0225] Construction in Full Swing

Vi's words were not enough to completely relieve Caitlin's confusion.

But at least it made Caitlin, who was stuck in a dead end, feel a lot more relaxed.

Just like that building, maybe it was a chaotic gray after it was just built, and the color is not clear now, but at least it is red.

Maybe... many things in Piltover are not politically correct, but at least Caitlin, who is in Piltover, can pursue her own whiteness in it.

Caitlin at this moment is not a normal mind, but at least she is relieved and the whole person is a lot more relaxed.

After noticing the change in Caitlin's expression, Vi finally showed her medal frankly. This performance, like a child who got a little red flower, made Caitlin, who had just felt a lot more comfortable, frown again.

Was she just persuaded by such a person?

Thinking of this, Caitlin couldn't help shaking her head and silently laughed at herself: Caitlin, Caitlin, you are so stupid, you are actually confused because of this problem!

You still need such a naive guy to persuade you!

But... speaking of it,

To be honest, the medal designed by the Zaun people is really pretty!

……………………

The Noxian attack on the laboratory is only worth one medal for Zaun.

As for the smear of the Piltover Evening News that day...

Has Zaun been smeared less?

After the Zaun Evening News published the interview, the Zaun Daily News responded the next day. As a result, the Piltover Evening News broke away and quickly followed up with the scandal between the two actors in the Piltover Grand Theater, and never mentioned it again.

The above are all small tricks and small confrontations in public opinion. Whether it is the Piltover councillors or the leaders of Zaun, they all know that the competition between the two sides cannot be decided by these verbal confrontations.

So, while the two sides were happily greeting each other, the leaders of Zaun were following Lux to survey the construction of Zaun's new port.

Yes, that's right, the day after the Piltover robbery, Zaun's new port officially entered the groundbreaking stage.

In the past, Zaun did not have its own port because Zaun was largely controlled by Piltover, and the flow of materials went through Piltover's port.

After the establishment of New Zaun, although Zaun renovated the city, it still did not build a port because the main trade routes of New Zaun were all land routes, and Zaun had no ships, no sailors, no nautical charts, and was not qualified to intervene in sea transportation.

But now, with Zaun and Bilgewater reaching a strategic partnership, Ionia trade is about to start, and the construction of Zaun's new port has naturally become a top priority.

This port will become the main distribution center for Ionian goods in the future. According to the plan, part of the Ionian products arriving here will be sent to Zaun for deep processing, and part will be sold through Zaun's current trade network, divided into two lines, east and west.

The eastern line is roughly Zaun-Kumonggara, which is a short distance. From Kumanggara to the east is the Kumanggu Jungle.

In comparison, the western trade route is much longer - Kalduga, Bilgeun, Telishni, Nashrameh and other northern Shurima commercial cities are all nodes of this trade route.

These cities are port cities, usually mostly engaged in maritime trade, but unfortunately, with Zaun's current capabilities, it is not qualified to engage in maritime transport.

Fortunately, Ionian products are the only in-demand luxury goods in the short term, and Zaun is still qualified to slowly transport them by land.

The above plans were almost completed by Zaun when Ionian trade was proposed. Now that there are transport personnel and sources of goods, what Zaun needs is to build infrastructure to welcome ships from Bilgewater.

As for infrastructure...

I am not bragging. Zaun, which has just experienced its first three-year plan, claims to be the second in Runeland, and no one can be considered the first.

……………………

Because it is a matter of great importance, when the construction of the new port of Zaun broke ground, almost all the leaders of Zaun, including Lux and Ino, were present.

In the future, Ino will come here from time to time to help deal with some problems that are not easy to deal with by ordinary construction methods.

In this case, the construction speed of the new port is extremely fast.

Piltover next door expressed great concern about this - and then, as they paid attention, the people of Piltover gradually relaxed from the initial tension.

Relying on Zaun's strong infrastructure construction capabilities, the scale of Zaun's new port is quite amazing.

However...

In the eyes of the people of Piltover, there is a lack of necessary transportation machinery here.

According to the Piltover Daily, "Zauan's empty shell of the new port is OK for transporting a few pigs, but if it wants to be a professional freight terminal, it can't compete with the Sun Gate at all by just carrying it on the shoulder!"

Although there is always a sour taste in the words, this time the Piltover Daily is not aimless.

A port, especially a freight port, is not enough to have only basic dredging, dock construction, and berth opening.

The Sun Gate can have today's income, largely relying on the large number of complex machines designed by Piltover for the dock, which can greatly promote the efficiency of transportation and ship passing.

According to the people of Piltover, the throughput of the ports of other northern Shurima cities combined is barely comparable to that of Piltover's port.

However, Zaun's new port not only lacks these machines, but is also far away from Zaun's urban area. Unless the Zaun people build a new city based on the port, they will be short of manpower if they use manpower to transport.

In the eyes of the Piltover people, this is obviously the result of Zaun's lack of technical accumulation, and everything can only be taken for granted - even if you use despicable means and unfair commercial competition to seize the exclusive operating rights, but when it really starts, you will be exposed sooner or later!

Unlike the previous groundless reports, this time the Piltover reporters were also very determined. They actually went to the port and obtained a lot of detailed text and image materials, which were connected to the estimated measurement data and published in the newspaper.

And the next day, with the release of the Piltover Daily, the entire Sun Gate Sea Gate was filled with a happy atmosphere. Everyone had been worried about Zaun's new port in the past, but at this moment they finally put their hearts at ease.

Zaun has no mechanical transportation and control devices!

In our Piltover, mechanical handling and control devices are already on the verge of obsolescence - now we have tried to use Hextech products in transportation!

Many smart guys even proposed that "we can export some outdated mechanical handling and control devices at a high price, so that Zaun can make money for us - anyway, with Hextech devices as an upgraded version, we can always maintain an absolute advantage in transportation capacity."

Unfortunately, these greedy guys don't know that Zaun's mechanical control level is indeed not very good, but they don't plan to buy technology directly.

What Zaun chose is... to use rune technology to overtake on the curve.

Kalya's small class·Zaun's new port site selection:

This port is located in the eastern suburbs of Zaun, an uninhabited wasteland - in terms of the specific location, it is actually not far from where Draven was caught before.

PS. There will be an event for adding more chapters on the 15th, and Qidian will have extra bonuses, so I will save up the manuscripts for the next few days and not add more chapters, and save them all until the 15th - at least I can add ten or eight chapters.
