How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 122 : Just how many people are there
The outskirts of the Imperial Capital had never been so lively.
In order to conveniently and quickly train large numbers of adventurers in batches, while not allowing this number of adventurers to directly enter the city and disrupt urban order, the governnt established nurous training institutions directly outside the Imperial Capital.
"Just how many people are there..."
An adventurer who had just arrived looked out over the near suburbs of the Imperial Capital from the mountains and sighed thus.
On the plains near the Imperial Capital's suburbs, countless camps arranged in extrely orderly fashion ford a continuous camp complex stretching several kiloters.
Looking down at this scene from above, it appeared extrely spectacular.
This would be where he'd be living for the next few days.
According to the contract—the governnt would cover all his food and lodging for these three to seven days, and it seed the conditions were quite good.
Adventurers were already accustod to sleeping rough outdoors; he had thought the governnt would just give him a sleeping bag to make do.
He hadn't expected treatnt on the sa level as the Imperial Guard.
On the other side, countless adventurers holding various weapons were training at nearby temporary training grounds under instructors' guidance.
After all, ultimately about ten thousand or more—nearly all the adventurers in the entire country—had co, making the training montum appear massive.
Looking at the scene below, and thinking that only after completing the governnt-designated [Goblin Extermination Technical Assessnt] could he officially take on those frighteningly high-reward commissions.
The adventurer could barely suppress his desire to hurry down and join them...
Looking down from the city walls, Elashia smiled with satisfaction and praised Cecilia beside her:
"Really excellent. Over ten thousand adventurers, yet you've managed to arrange them so orderly."
You must know, these were over ten thousand adventurers who hadn't been trained by military rules—managing them was no easy task.
Never mind over ten thousand adventurers, even ten thousand pigs would be hard to manage!
When numbers got large, even where to have them use the toilet beca a non-trivial problem.
Having spent so much ti with Cecilia, Elashia finally discovered that the knight girl beside her wasn't just martially powerful.
As an officer graduated from knight academy, Cecilia was also extrely outstanding as a general.
But Cecilia just smiled modestly.
"Without the surplus daily equipnt from the military camps, these adventurers really would be hard to arrange. Fortunately there's enough of that equipnt, or we couldn't manage those adventurers according to military standards."
After hearing Cecilia's words, Elashia also laughed with so amusent.
Here she really had to thank the old emperor.
The previous old emperor had long anticipated that his tyrannical acts would inevitably lead to uprising, so he had already prepared large quantities of military equipnt, ready to expand the army at any ti.
However, after Elashia ca to power, through a series of asures she not only ensured people could eat, but also rekindled their confidence and loyalty toward the royal family, completely preventing the crisis of civil war in its cradle.
So the final result was—not only did Elasia not expand its army, Elashia even directly disbanded many unnecessary military units.
This suddenly made Elasia's military equipnt much more abundant.
Whether weapons like crossbows, spears, and steel swords, or non-weapon military equipnt like military tents and uniforms, the quantities far exceeded their proper scope.
Now many munitions factories had ceased operations under Elashia's direction. Except for heavy weapons where more was always better and production continued, all other weapon production had stopped.
Thinking of this matter, Elashia suddenly asked:
"Cecilia, how's the production speed of magic crossbows at the munitions factories?"
Upon hearing this, Cecilia imdiately nodded excitedly.
"Your Majesty, your thod is incredibly effective! We've been trialing it for a full month now without any problems! This kind of large military equipnt should have been produced using your thod long ago!"
Previously, after Elashia toured the magic crossbow production factory, she couldn't help but be speechless at the frighteningly slow speed.
One workshop, with hundreds of craftsn mastering advanced techniques working around a single ballista for a full year, could only produce one magic crossbow.
However, when she questioned the factory's speed, Cecilia and the craftsn in the workshop had their own say.
When Elashia learned from Cecilia that a magic crossbow contained at least hundreds of extrely precise components that required extrely particular assembly thods, she imdiately thought of cars from her era.
Thinking of cars, she rembered what she'd learned from history books—"assembly line production thods."
So she imdiately had a flash of inspiration—"Why can't assembly line production thods be applied to magic crossbow production?"
Thus, after finishing the munitions factory tour, Elashia imdiately suggested to Cecilia—"Could we change this production thod?"
Upon hearing Elashia's suggestion to specialize factories, with one workshop specifically responsible for manufacturing one type of component, and finally having a specialized munitions factory for assembly, Cecilia was suddenly enlightened!
Previously each magic crossbow was produced in different workshops without unified standards, but as long as standards could be unified, this kind of specialized production was completely feasible!
After completing the production thod reform, magic crossbow production speed imdiately increased dramatically!
Moreover, even human resource costs were greatly reduced!
Now the busiest factories were the magic crossbow ones, with so other munitions factories even being converted into magic crossbow manufacturing plants.
Current Elasia was rapidly producing at the astonishing speed of one magic crossbow per week.
Seeing Cecilia's excited appearance, Elashia was also extrely happy.
These heavy weapons would all be useful in future battles—the more the better.
If quantities were sufficient, at the start of battle they could directly have a thousand knights fire a hundred destructive explosive crossbow bolts through coordinated volleys, dealing devastating blows to enemy morale!
However, Elashia knew this wasn't a ga where money could directly be converted to weapons.
Even with full production, speed ultimately had limits.
Moreover, in early stages, the raw materials for producing magic crossbow bodies—[Immortal Wood]—were also limited. [Immortal Wood] would only beco available after mid-ga events when communication with elves was established.
So she was quite satisfied with this production speed.
Elashia praised:
"Excellent, excellent. We need to strive to convert all [Immortal Wood] into magic crossbows by year's end, so we won't be helpless facing next spring's beast tide."
She was very clear—when facing the upcoming beast tide, only two things could truly be trusted.
City walls and heavy weapons.
Human combat units going down from city walls to directly face the beast tide would basically just be sending them to their deaths.
Except for high-level knights and hero units, no human unit could contend with powerful magical beasts.
While magical beasts lacked wisdom, their strength and defense were beyond human imagination.
Human warriors of the sa level fighting magical beasts of the sa level would need at least five-to-one odds to have a chance of winning...
Elashia shook her head.
Why was she thinking about this now?
If the nearby [Goblin Emperor] wasn't handled properly, Elashia might not even need to wait for the beast tide to arrive before dying.
Looking at Cecilia, Elashia asked:
"How do you plan to train these adventurers?"
