Building Civilizations on Primitive Planets
8. Planning the Redevelopment of the Fort

Almost until midnight Udin flew sophisticated drones equipped with night vision and various sensors to map the land area up to a radius of 5 km from the surrounding ruins of the Tanjung Pagar Fort, which is located in the city, it is intended to adjust the range of the control antenna which is only limited to 7 km without the help of a cellular signal. Then until 01.00 on August 20, 2022 where time to change Zayn watch Udin decided to go to bed immediately and will discuss it the next morning further.

04.00 Zayn awakens Udin for morning worship and then asks him to explain the plan about Tanjung Pagar, while he wants to cook food for today. “Zadi like this Zayn I found the fact to the northwest of the fort there is a hill that seems to have a lot of solid rock. The hill can we mine for sand and stone material to build. At the northern estuary of the fort I found mud sediments that seemed to be quite decent if taken to make bricks and tiles of medium quality. Once the sediment is taken we have an estuary deep enough to lean on the ship. We also need to change the design of Tanjung Pagar in total with the materials I mentioned earlier.

The new fort will have 8 Bastion where there are 2 Bastion shaped towers at point no 2 and 3 the overall height of the fort will be built as high as 4 meters from sea level which means it will look a little more high from the small old fortress. then there are 3 entrances where the main door to Sumberurip is flanked by 2 towers as high as 6 meters from sea level and one entrance leads to the beach as well as the docks and 1 entrance between Bastion no 4 and 5 that can be lifted when closed and lowered as well as a bridge to cross the Tabuan Lasi river, of course, at this door will be higher than the fortress. Later maybe we wake up from the arrangement of wooden boards along 5 meters and opposite it we will build something so that the door can be moored into a bridge. At that point I saw the width of about 4 meters only the river. For wood and rattan materials themselves are abundant in parts of the planet that are almost no different from this earth,” explained Udin to Zayn who was watching his sketches carefully.

“Good idea Udin, labor matters I'm sure Johnny can easily find slaves for us. I think your design needs 200 slaves. It would be very good if we get a slave from the former soldier who after that we can restore his function as a soldier who will inhabit this fortress with 800 family people, he said, I think this fort is able to accommodate up to 2000 people, considering the Cape Fence that lives ruins it said maintained 150 soldiers before. Most important in addition to defense problems and settlement barracks and facum we have to make 2 small palaces in it for each of us. also we need some kind of government building together, we need a kind of government building, then pendopo meetings like those in the squares of cities in Java. We also need to build educational facilities for children and also special laboratories to develop science in which we can hide the Rihlah and improve it further, although there is little hope of returning to Earth, I do not want to die buried on this planet in the middle of nowhere. Near the empty spot dock it can be used to build a shipyard that I see can accommodate the manufacture of 2 phinisi ships at once. We also need to bring in 50 metal and iron craftsmen and their families, perhaps a total of 250 of them and their families, to make tools and to work on the basic technologies that we can begin to work on to begin our superiority on this strange planet. Oh yes cape fence I think the name is too strange Din, I ask your permission to name this Fortress later as Alamut so cool little.”

“Ok Alamut, Fucking Persian hehe. So let's rebuild Tanjung Pagar to Alamut. I'll soon pull Valhalla with rihlah to the estuary coast. Continue cooking Zayn. In the future I don't think we can cook them all. And not forever we'll be boat people. The next few days in Alamut I think 7 soldiers with Johnny should stay on the mainland while the other slaves sleep in Valhalla at night. Then during the day we will hunt while mapping land suitable for agriculture and explore the natural wealth of mines, flora and fauna that we can use for the glory of Alamut. Maybe not until a week Johnny can we ask with 7 soldiers to go add supplies here and look for slaves from among craftsmen and soldiers. We also need to explore further from it whether on this planet there is mana energy or qi and whether magic develops or cultivation science that absorbs natural elements. I think when Johnny goes out later we can stay day and night on land without worrying about wild animals with 10 slaves who are there for our pleasure. So as soon as you finish your cooking we'll be anchored at the mouth!” Udin cheerfully ended his conversation.
