Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"Even purchasing a single module isn't enough. This level of incentive seems a bit insufficient for a large-scale construction project that requires mobilizing the enthusiasm of everyone involved?"

The system remained silent for a moment, and the light flowed in Xu Tian's field of vision, as if it were calculating something.

[Analysis adopted: Based on the task scale, number of participants, and long-term benefit model, the initial reward pool incentive coefficient is indeed too low. The system will supplement funds with 4000 gold coins and inject them into the total task reward pool.]

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"You can do it like that? Not bad, this is the people's system. It's always taking away players' gold coins, it should give back occasionally."

The next moment, a golden announcement, accompanied by a pleasant notification sound, popped up prominently in the center of the view of all online players.

[Server-wide System Announcement: The Civilization Foundation large-scale construction task reward pool has received an injection of funds, increasing the current total reward pool amount to 5000 gold coins.]

"boom!"

"Five thousand gold pieces? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"Damn, we have to do this task even if it kills us. The money split between us is enough to buy several useful modules."

"Brothers, what are we waiting for? Grab your weapons! For gold coins, for the future of Eshilia, we'll dig through the earth to build the railway."

Chen Xu's signature loud voice almost shattered the channel as he passionately shouted.

"That's right, let's just do it and show those monsters what the power of an infrastructure-building maniac is."

Looking at the player community, which had suddenly become bustling and vibrant after its previous orderly atmosphere, Xu Tian closed the communication interface with satisfaction.

"That's the kind of drive we're looking for."

He muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the construction area in the distance, where dust was already rising.

……

In the afternoon, sunlight slanted into the newly renovated teaching building.

Shangshangqian put down the chalk in his hand, gently patted his fingers which were covered in white chalk dust, and looked down at the audience.

Hundreds of eyes remained focused on the blackboard and on her, no longer reflecting the initial confusion and fear, but a growing thirst for knowledge and a growing trust and respect for her as their teacher.

"Alright, that concludes today's literacy lesson."

Her warm voice echoed in the spacious classroom.

"Remember these words and phrases I just taught you. You can test each other on them after dinner."

"Next, according to the base's unified arrangements, everyone needs to go to the designated location to assist the railway engineers in carrying out infrastructure construction work."

Chapter 101: The Excavation Begins!

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the faces.

"This is not just about labor, but also an important opportunity for you to learn skills, integrate into the group, and contribute to the future of Eshilia."

"Please follow instructions, pay attention to safety, and complete the assigned tasks diligently."

"Yes, teacher."

The audience responded with varying but loud voices, and many people's eyes showed not only a thirst for knowledge but also a strong desire to contribute to their homeland.

Watching the students leave the classroom in an orderly fashion, Shangshangqian walked slowly to the window, placed his hand on the warm wooden windowsill, and looked down at the ever-changing base below.

In just a few days, thanks to Yang Qinyu's overall planning and the hard work of the NPCs, the appearance of the Aishilia base has been greatly improved.

Those original buildings, which were originally angular and full of blocks, were cleverly modified and reassembled.

The walls are covered with panels featuring natural textures or coated with a smooth layer of plaster.

The roof has a sloping roof and eaves.

The road was widened and paved with gravel or flagstones.

Even in some corners, simple decorations mimicking vines and flowers have appeared.

The school corridors are no longer dark and cramped, the classrooms are more well-lit, and a simple flower bed made of pebbles has even appeared at the edge of the square.

Every improvement in the details silently tells us that this place is no longer just a place to survive, but a home that is being carefully managed and has a future.

"This world..."

Looking out the window at the rising smoke from chimneys and the shadowy figures of people, Shangshangqian sighed softly.

"It's becoming increasingly hard to let go of it."

After finishing her meal, Clara stood at the door of the large classroom, holding a list in her hand.

"Attention everyone."

She raised her voice and waited until the crowd quieted down before continuing.

"I have already divided everyone into groups in advance according to Brother Wang's plan. Those whose names I call, please stand to my left. Those whose names I don't call are in the first group and will follow Village Chief Jessie."

She began calling out names from the list.

As each name was read out, the corresponding person would step out from the crowd and gather around Clara.

The entire process was orderly and without any chaos.

"Okay, is everyone in the second group here?"

Clara glanced around and confirmed that everything was correct.

"Come with me."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Village Chief Jessie had already led the first group of people to set off.

The two teams headed off in opposite directions, forming a large and impressive procession.

On the east side of the base, at the designated starting point of the railway project.

A dozen or so professional players, led by Railway Brother Wang, had already gathered here.

Around them, more than fifty veteran players who had rushed over upon hearing the news gathered, each armed with tools such as picks, shovels, and axes, eager to get started.

Railway Brother Wang stood on a slightly elevated earthen slope, holding a stone slab engraved with precise coordinate data. He was exchanging opinions in hushed tones with several companions beside him, his fingers occasionally tracing lines in the air to simulate the route.

Just then, Clara appeared at the end of the road.

Behind her followed a large, orderly second group of villagers, numbering about three hundred.

"This way, gather here."

Railway Brother Wang immediately looked up, waved his arms, and his loud voice carried clearly.

Upon hearing the sound, Clara immediately quickened her pace, leading her team over at a jog, and quickly regrouped next to the player team.

Although their equipment was rudimentary and their clothing simple, after this period of collective living and learning, these originally undisciplined villagers have begun to develop a sense of discipline.

Railway Brother Wang glanced at the sizable construction team in front of him, a mix of players and NPCs, and nodded in satisfaction.

Sufficient manpower is the primary guarantee for the smooth progress of large-scale projects.

He cleared his throat again, gathered his breath, and made sure everyone could hear him clearly.

"Everyone is here. Time is precious, so I'll briefly explain our preliminary construction plan."

The scene quickly quieted down, and all eyes were on him.

"Considering the complex wilderness environment of Eshilia and the frequent monster attacks, laying the railway directly on the ground would not only make it vulnerable to damage, but also result in extremely high costs for later defense and maintenance. Therefore, after discussion by our professional team, we decided to adopt the underground tunnel solution."

He paused to allow the information to be fully processed before continuing to explain the specific details.

"The construction is divided into three steps: the first step is to excavate a main tunnel with a cross-section of 5 meters wide and 5 meters high, which is the responsibility of the main player team."

"The second step is to immediately lay a layer of smooth stone on the four walls and the top and bottom slabs as a reinforcement layer after the tunnel is formed to prevent the soil from loosening and collapsing, and to ensure the safety of the foundation."

"The third step, after the reinforcement layer is completed, is for the villagers to follow up by laying the formal railway tracks, sleepers and related ancillary facilities at the bottom of the tunnel."

He turned to the side, pointing in two directions.

"We will split into two groups and work simultaneously to improve efficiency."

"The first group, led by me, will unite some veteran players and half of the villagers to start digging north from where we are now."

"The second group, led by another engineer Chen Feng, will take the other half of the villagers and players to the end of the route and start digging in reverse from there."

He held up the coordinate tablet in his hand, emphasizing its importance.

"The core basis for the two construction teams is this precise coordinate data. As long as we strictly follow the direction and slope indicated by the coordinates during the excavation process and regularly check the position, the two tunnels starting from both ends will eventually meet precisely at the planned docking point."

"Wow, dig at both ends and bump into the middle? Is that even possible?"

Among the players, Niu Niu scratched his head, a hint of doubt on his face.

Upon hearing this, Railway Brother Wang was not annoyed at all; instead, he revealed a confident smile befitting a technician.

"Rest assured, straight-line tunneling, elevation control, and coordinate guidance are the most basic technologies in modern tunnel engineering. In our world, without the interference of complex geological changes, as long as the tools are powerful enough and the personnel obey commands, achieving precise docking is precisely the embodiment of our professional value."

His confident tone resonated with everyone, eliciting lighthearted laughter and discussion.

"Well said, that's exactly what we need: professionalism."

Chen Xu roared and slung the diamond pickaxe over his shoulder with heroic spirit.

"What are we waiting for? Brothers, sisters, villagers, grab your weapons!"

His gaze swept across the entire room intently.

"Today we will excavate the first strategic artery in the history of Eshilia, running from north to south, and make this underground iron dragon the first beam of light for us to conquer this continent and illuminate the future."

"dig!!"

Chapter 102, "The World," has begun airing?

"start!!"

Players brandished their tools, NPCs gripped their pickaxes and shovels, and everyone's faces were a mixture of excitement and anticipation.

Before the dust had even risen, a powerful, transformative force had already gathered over the construction site.

Xu Tian stood at the huge construction entrance, looking at the bustling scene before him.

Dozens of players could no longer contain their excitement. They raised their tools and shouted, their voices echoing across the open field and startling birds in the distant forest.

"Brothers, let's get to work!!"
