Lin Yi oversaw the construction of the new walls, addressing the workers' doubts about the cement's durability. He then returned home with Xiao Zihan, satisfied with the progress at the workshop. Discussing the city's rapid growth and population increase, Lin Yi proposed implementing modern housing policies, including building multi-story residential complexes using cement and steel, leveraging resources from the 21st century.

With such abilities, forming a team doesn’t really seem like a difficult task. However, Xiao Zihan helplessly shook his head:

"Having equipment alone is not enough. Avoid large equipment; if it’s not fuel-powered, it’s electric. We’re afraid we can’t support that right now."

But as soon as he said this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi chimed in with a chuckle:

"I say, honey, you’ve only been here a few days, and you’ve forgotten our roots?

What does the Nuclear Group do?

Don’t we have our own developed energy solutions there?

If helicopters can use it, can’t those other devices use it too?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zihan nodded immediately:

"Oh right, I forgot. Indeed, if we use our Mega and Energy on an excavator, I believe it can last until it breaks down."

With that, the two agreed that Lin Yi should go ahead and build the first residential community in Dayou Country.

Lin Yi always adheres to the principle of doing what needs to be done right away.

Of course, there’s another point: even though he’s powerful, getting a complete set of design drawings isn’t something that can be accomplished immediately.

Therefore, Lin Yi thought it might be best to return back quickly and get someone to fetch the specialized community design plans.

Would there be any problems building according to these plans?

After all, constructing this community is not as simple as it seems; putting up buildings is not all there is to it.

The various pipeline facilities underneath need to be completed before the buildings are erected, like the drainage and water supply systems which are particularly challenging.

The main issue is that plastic hasn’t been invented yet, so we have to rely on resources from the 21st century to meet these needs.

While Lin Yi could bring things over indefinitely, producing here seems more practical.

This prompted him to immediately arrange for staff to seek out rubber.

Of course, he didn’t let them search blindly, but gave them a detailed map and a sizable ship.

When the people saw this massive steel giant of a ship, their eyes widened in disbelief.

After all, just living and dominating on land was already pushing the limits for people.

So, the idea of going out to sea was unimaginable.

Even now, in the coastal fishing villages, they only use simple rafts or basic wooden boats to catch some fish near the shore.

As for the deep sea, they didn’t even dare to think about it.

But now, the size of the ship Lin Yi had brought out indeed qualified as a steel giant of today.

Its overall length exceeded 80 meters and its width over 20 meters, a ship of this size was considerable even by future standards.

The reason Lin Yi did this wasn’t just to find rubber.

As he said before, if he just wanted to find something, he could easily transport people there, have them extract it, and then bring them back himself either by spaceship or through System Space.

His main motive was to instill an understanding in them.

To help them keep pace with him.

If only he grasped these advanced technologies, it wouldn’t be enough to advance the progress of humanity.

Only after they accepted these facts, and these tasks, could they progress with him.

Only then could he drive their overall progress, rather than running ahead alone and dragging everyone from their standstill positions.

Of course, these people couldn’t just hop on the ship and know how to operate it right away, so they started an urgent training regimen in the coastal areas.

According to Lin Yi’s requirements, most of the crew members come from coastal villages and were fishermen.

After all, they’ve spent years at sea and are well accustomed to it, preventing seasickness.

Otherwise, a newcomer would likely succumb to seasickness or discomfort, which could be troublesome and delay training for a considerable time.

While they were busy going to sea, Lin Yi also began training his army.

His training method was quite simple and direct, gathering all the officers to lecture them on military postures and maintenance duties.

Once these officers learned all this, they were dispatched to manage their troops.

Lin Yi had his reasons for this approach.

He needed an army of absolute obedience.

His commands required strict discipline, rather than sending them into actual combat.

Therefore, he drew from the future’s principles like internal structure and military posture, etc.

Once they mastered these, they would have the discipline he sought in a troop.

After all, with Lin Yi himself being an anomaly, fighting battles wouldn’t require anyone else; he alone was sufficient.

There was another important matter to mention.

While Xiao Zihan was busy building workshops and generating income for Dayou Country, Lin Yi was also diligently preparing for something else.

That was to marry the Empress.

He had long planned in his heart to give Xiao Zihan an unforgettable wedding.

To make her the most esteemed woman in this world, to let her know she made the right choice.

Of course, this wedding would not merely be between the two of them.

A wedding without the witness of parents wouldn’t be perfect.

Therefore, Lin Yi had secretly decided that on the wedding day, he would return to reality, bring his parents and Xiao Zihan’s grandmother, and have them witness this unparalleled wedding.

Regarding whether outsiders would find out, Lin Yi could guarantee they wouldn’t.

As Xiao Zihan’s grandmother lived alone, Lin Yi could let her stay here, living with Xiao Zihan and playing with Xiaoluo Ning.

For an elderly person, the life here might be more comfortable than in the modern world.

As for his parents, there was no worry that they’d share his secret with others, as he was their only son.

So, would the Empress Dowager Ye choose to stay here once she arrived?

Lin Yi wasn’t sure of that.

But the thought of one thing made Lin Yi chuckle.

All along, they referred to his mother as Empress Dowager Ye.

Little did he know, one day it would become a reality.

Now, he is the Emperor of Dayou Country, the Great Yan Country, and Daoyou Country.

This means his mother indeed became the Empress Dowager of three countries.

Imagining her reaction upon learning this, Lin Yi can’t help but laugh.
