They had a very tight schedule to complete the planning and design of the entire city in 8 hours. The sand table given to them by the library was a 7,000-square-meter open space the size of a soccer field, not only roads, but also all buildings had to be put together by them in person.
There were blocks of various colors around, Ke Shaobin carefully observed for a moment and said, “These blocks can be freely put together, I think, we better divide a few people out, first put together some building models! The whole city needs a lot of buildings, and if we wait until all the designs are finished before putting them together, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and quickly began to divide the labor: “In this way, the university town in the north of the city will be handed over to Qin Lu, and the internal transportation design and architectural design of the entire university town will be handed to you.”
Qin Lu thought about it, and said, “I want to build five universities. How about Mingzhou University, Mingzhou Medical University, University of Science and Technology, Normal University, and a specialized vocational and technical college?”
Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “You are in charge of the university city, so feel free to arrange it.”
Qin Lu immediately ran excitedly to the location of the north side of the sand table, chose a piece of land, and began to build blocks.
Qin Miao took the initiative to raise her hand and said, “Xiao Lu is in charge of the university town in the north of the city, then I’ll take charge of the primary and secondary schools in the city. After her side is finished, she can come over to help me.”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “No problem! All the schools in the whole city will be handed over to both of you.”
Yue Xingwen followed and looked back at Liu Zhaoqing. “The hospital is in charge of senior brother Liu, the city-level third-class hospital, the district-level second-class hospital, the psychiatric hospital, the infectious disease hospital, as well as the community epidemic prevention station, clinic, etc. The architectural model also needs to trouble the senior brother to build it.”
Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile, “Yes, I will refer to the hospital where I am located to design, the outpatient building, the inpatient department and so on, I will try to make it look like that. I drew a cross-shaped symbol on the sand table to represent the location of the hospital, you guys have to remember to leave me land!”
Lan Yarong took the initiative to raise her hand. “I will be responsible for the public, the prosecution and the law, and I’ll also take charge of the municipal government and authorities. I know more about these.”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “Okay, hard work everyone, those students who have tasks can hurry up!”
Several people began to get busy separately.
Yue Xingwen found that the building blocks provided to them by the library were quite large, and it was very convenient to put them together, such as buildings, which were all templates made layer by layer. How many floors they wanted to build, they could directly put it together.
This was obviously to save time. If it was like Lego blocks, that were all in small pieces, it took three or four days to build a building. It was impossible to complete the design of the entire city in 8 hours.
Finding that his teammates had put together a building in half a minute, Yue Xingwen was relieved.
He looked at the classmates who did not have the task and continued, “The residential area is more complicated, we also have to start putting together the building in advance. Senior brother Xu is in charge of the eastern district and senior brother Zhuo in the western district, senior sister Manluo in the northern district and Xin Yan in the southern district. Don’t write the name of the communities first, and when it’s all covered, we will name it uniformly so as not to repeat it.”
In the North District, there were fewer residential areas because there was a large area of ‘University Town’. The reason why Yue Xingwen put Lin Manluo in charge of the relatively light task of the northern district was because Lin Manluo also had to design the greenery of the entire city at the end.

Xu Yishen said with a smile, “I’m very good at designing mansions. I can design several more distinctive European-style villas and Chinese-style garden villas. When the time comes, Manluo can help with the greening.”
Lin Manluo nodded. “No problem, you build the house first.”
Xin Yan said calmly, “On the south side of the city, I will build the high-rise of the 24th floor in a unified manner, which looks relatively neat.”
The four of them began to quickly build a model of the residential building. Yue Xingwen took a glance, this scene was quite like ‘kindergarten children collective building blocks’, thinking back to their childhood. Thinking back to his childhood, played with blocks, not even one percent more than today!
Everyone in this course could be regarded as having enough of the addiction of ‘building blocks’, not to mention buildings, roads, even flower beds, trees, rivers, all of which could be found in the large number of models.
Yue Xingwen had never played a home-type game before, and today he could be regarded as discovering the charm of this kind of game.
—— Creating a city yourself and watching buildings rise on the sand table is really rewarding!
The only ones who had not yet been assigned to tasks were Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce.
Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said, “Does a third-tier city also have railway stations, bus stations and airports?”
Jiang Pingce said, “En. With these transportation buildings, it should improve the final acceptance score.” Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “Then let’s make an airport together first.”
Jiang Pingce picked up the road planning map and glanced at it, saying, “I will continue to extend the bypass highway to the south and build an airport in the southern suburbs where the terrain is flat. The railway station can also be built here, with a separate high-speed entrance and exit, and a few railroad tracks planned out of the city. The bus terminal can be built in the north of the city, and as for the bus station, there must be one on every street.”
Ke Shaobin, who was hurriedly paving the way, heard the discussion between the two and couldn’t help but complain, “No way! Even buses have to be designed? This is too difficult!”
Yue Xingwen was helpless. “In order to improve the final assessment score, the more detailed the urban planning, of course, the better.”
The students were pumped up and sped up.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce came to the southern suburbs to build the airport first.
Both of them sat on the ground together to build the aircraft parking ground, the terminal building, cooperated tacitly, built out the airport in style. Jiang Pingce designed the track for aircraft takeoff and landing, Yue Xingwen also placed a few model aircraft on the parking ground.
After finishing the airport, both of them moved to the railway station…
On the sand table nearly the size of a football field, 12 students were busy, like a serious construction team.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce spent an hour taking care of the airport, railway station, bus terminal and bus stations throughout the city. All bus stations used a uniform model, with a row of seats on the left and right, a transparent pavilion to cover from the rain, and an empty sign on the side of the pavilion for writing information about the bus.
At the same time, Ke Shaobin and Zhang Xiaonian also completed the paving of the entire city road according to the road planning map curated by Jiang Pingce.
Others also put together a lot of buildings during this time, and when the road was completed, everyone began to fill the residential area along the roadside. Xin Yan quickly filled out a large area of neat high-rise buildings in the south of the city, and in order to save time, he built two large residential communities of more than 30 buildings.
The painting style in the riverside area in the east of the city was completely different—— Xu Yishen with a smile on his face, was building villas with patience. Each of the Chinese garden river view villas he made was very exquisite, European villas were luxurious, it was really pleasing to the eye at a glance.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce, who was idle, began to build civic centers in each district.
In terms of shopping, it was handed over to Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin.
Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “Xiao Ki is very good at food, let’s build a few food streets, and recreate some shopping centers, farmers’ markets and department stores to facilitate the residents’ daily meals and shopping.” Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin, who had just finished paving the road, were busy again.
Time passed minute by minute, and on the originally empty sand table, one building after another rose up, and their city gradually took shape.
Four hours later, Yue Xingwen asked everyone to temporarily stop the work at hand and began to simply accept the results of the first stage.
The university town designed by Qin Lu in the north district was very beautiful, different universities were distinguished by different colors, such as white buildings for medical universities, iron gray buildings for the science and technology, comprehensive school with blue and white fresh style, normal universities with rigorous brick red, vocational schools with yellow, brown, and it looked clear at a glance.
Qin Miao and her were worthy of being twins, the sisters’ thinking was surprisingly consistent. When designing middle schools and primary schools, Qin Miao also used color to distinguish the school in each area. The school also designed stadiums, dormitory buildings, teaching buildings, libraries and other details, and most of the school buildings were different, which showed the two people’s intention.
The procuratorate, court, and public security bureau built by senior sister Lan were also very similar to the real buildings, solemn and magnificent.
Four residential areas, civic centers, government offices, and hospitals had also been completed.
After 4 hours of transformation, the sand table had become dense.
Yue Xingwen looked at the city that everyone had initially planned from beginning to end, and said, “At present, there is still a lack of wetland parks and community greening. This task will be done by senior sister Manluo as director, with the three girls’ help. Trees are planted on both sides of the city road, there are also some flowers and trees in the community, and some rockeries, lakes, and fountains can be made in the open space.”
The location of the wetland park was reserved when it was first planned, so it was very convenient for Lin Manluo to design it. Three girls helped her wit the block model, and Lin Manluo quickly planted trees and flowers in the park…
The remaining people stood next to it and observed it carefully.
Yue Xingwen said, “Everyone think about it, what else is missing?”
Zhang Xiaonian stared at the sand table for a moment and said, “There seems to be no sidewalk for our road? There is no place for pedestrians to walk!”
Everyone: “…”
Oh no, they didn’t even consider the sidewalk, they paved all the main roads.
Ke Shaobin suddenly pointed to the residential area in the south and said, “Xin Yan, don’t you have design shops on both sides of the street? After work, residents have nowhere to eat a bowl of noodles on the side of the road.”
Xi Yan: “…”
He never ate noodles on the side of the road, so he didn’t think about the details of ‘there should be shops on both sides of the road’.
Ke Shaobin said, “The first and second floors of the first row of buildings can usually be used as shops, which are different from other buildings. You can change the building model on the street a little!”
Zhuo Feng frowned. “So, we have to change it too.”
Xu Yishen said, “The villa won’t be changed. There is no villa as a shop, I will build a separate shopping plaza.”
Yue Xingwen’s gaze swept over the entire city sand table and suddenly said, “Right, water and electricity! There are no water plants and power plants in our cities. How do people who live in the city get by without water and electricity?”
Jiang Pingce pinched his eyebrows. “So, there are also network broadband and mobile phone signal base stations that we need to build.”
Everyone: “…”
Therefore, in the city they built, when the residents went out, there was no sidewalk to walk, and they were facing the main road, which was easy to be hit by cars; There were no snack bars on the side of the road, and if they got hungry, they had to buy vegetables and meat to cook at home; There is no Internet access for computers, no signal for mobile phones, no water or electricity at home…
What kind of ghost city was this?!
Urban planning was much more complicated than everyone thought.
Really worthy ah. But hey at least you noticed now and not at the end when there was no more time?
Thank you for the translation!
Oh, it’s really interesting!!!
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
oh man my head is spinning! so many design aspects to consider, ah. fighting, the C-138 Devil Group will certainly succeed! 🥳🎉
If they end up getting a high score without police or fire stations, I’ll call BS!
When you realise their tier-3 city looks much better than your average tier-1 city💀
Oh, good. I was hoping that they wouldn’t forget the water, gas, electricity, sewage etc!
Thanks for the translation😊
