"Hey, be careful, control the angle, and slowly go down."

Rather ugly and bizarre, the striking wooden squirrel cage crane is driven by eight strong men to continuously lift large pieces of wooden prefabricated elements from the ground, and then placed them on the top of the construction building under the command of dispatchers with signal flags, while the craftsmen at high altitude carefully stitch together the tenon and tenon joints reserved between the different components. After the wooden load-bearing members are properly installed, the crane continues to lift the glass panels with a uniform specification of one yard, and with reference to the previous construction process, one by one the flat glass is embedded in the joints reserved for the wooden components and fixed.

Over time, the fragile glass was disposed of with the mortise and tenon reinforcement of the wooden elements, and the nascent glass dome was now illuminated by the western sun, emitting a hazy rainbow of light like a rainbow after rain.

Needless to say, the unreinforced glass could not withstand the ravages of the sandstorms that would blow camels to death on Wake Reef, so in addition to the multiple glass domes, Lo designed a mobile dome like a shell, just like the movable canopies built by the giant stadiums of the Old World to prevent rain and snow from falling on the ground and affecting the game.

The two expenses of housing a large number of refugees and building glass greenhouses, plus the construction costs of ancillary facilities, in the past period of time, not only was the little money that Luo Zhengdao had painstakingly accumulated since joining the pirate industry about to run out, but the assistance provided by the Yaling Empire was basically all thrown in. If he doesn't see the benefits in the short term, the Wake Reef pirate base he has built will be like a castle built on the beach, turning into dust in an instant under the wind and waves, unless he is prepared to sign a more one-sided supplementary traitor agreement with the Yaling Empire.

The first saplings of mulberry trees were planted in cuttings in the glass greenhouse, an evergreen tree that is as sensitive to mana particles as silkworms and is one of the most popular plant species of silkworms.

Walking in the glass greenhouse that was not long completed, Luo Zhengdao finally realized the heartfelt joy of the farmer uncle when he looked at his field, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again, looking very relieved.

"Are silkworm seeds starting to hatch?"

Since seeing the mulberry tree naturally can't help but think of silkworms, for this strange species with eight legs that resembles a spider, looks completely different from the silkworm babies in the old world, and has the same name, what else can Luo Zhengdao say besides complaining that the senior traverser is too uncreative in naming?

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's inquiry, the one-eyed dragon Fuer said with a smile:

"Yes, Lord Count. You see, the small black dots over there are young silkworms that have just come out of the shell, if they are raised in a silkworm room, the mulberry leaves must be picked and cut into silk thickness and fed to them, and the isolation effect of the test greenhouse on mana particles is very good, and there is no problem with stocking directly on the tree. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao turned his head to look at these small insects that seemed to be full of gold coins, and said:

"Well, take care of these little babies, business at sea has been getting more and more sluggish recently, and we have to count on them to help in eating and dressing in the future!"

The mulberry tree is quite sensitive to the wind of mana, although it does not reach the point where it will die or live as soon as it comes into contact, but it has stopped growing, and the whole tree looks sick, which alone is enough to annoy people, so it is the best environment for the mulberry tree to completely isolate the wind of mana. After the mulberry seedlings are raised, the cuttings are planted in a glass greenhouse, relying on nutrient soil and drip irrigation water supply, the growth of the seedlings looks very vigorous, and the little mulberry leaves eaten by the silkworms that have not been broken for a long time are nothing. Luo Zhengdao looked at it in his eyes, and felt quite comforted in his heart, the matter has come to this point is to open the bow and have no turning back arrow, in case the sericulture plan unfortunately fails, he has to take the risk of attacking Xiangjiang Port for the second time under the nose of the goblin, then it is really a chestnut in the fire!

Whether it is happiness and comfort, suffering and suffering, or ordinary, the days are passing day by day, and time will not stop because you feel joy, nor will it stop for your pain.

The new human immigrants from Qiongzhou gradually adapted to the very harsh natural environment of Wake Reef, but they felt that this remote island and reef far away from the second goblin empire was a paradise on earth, the former hometown of Qiongzhou has long been turned into an uninhabited desert island under the cruel order of the goblins to move the boundary and forbid the sea, and the old towns and villages have all turned into scorched earth, which can not help but make people sigh at the vicissitudes of the sea and the vagaries of the sea.

Staying in the office with the cold water circulating earth air conditioner turned on, Luo Zhengdao was reading a stack of essays at the desk, and after studying with the half-elf beauty for so long, his cultural level finally improved to above the passing line. Although the nobles were fond of literate sonnets or something, he still couldn't appreciate them, and it was not difficult to read official documents under normal circumstances.

"Have you heard, Lord Earl?"

Brando Scarlet, the handsome guy who walked into the office quickly, the expression on his face at this time couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear, or both! Hearing the sound and putting down the quill pen, Luo Zhengdao was not without surprise. looked at Brando and said:

"What did you hear?"

"The Imperial City has been ruined by goblins."

Hearing the news suddenly, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but pick out his ear holes, with a look of disbelief, he got up and asked:

"Did I hear me right? Could it be that the goblin's head is in the water? ”

Seeing Luo Zhengdao's surprised expression that his jaw almost fell off, Brando Scarlet was not surprised, and when he first heard the news, his expression was much more exaggerated than that of the Earl, and replied:

"Yes! Who's to say it isn't! ”

After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Luo Zhengdao reopened his eyes as if he had an idea, and said:

"Orderly! Inform Captain Zola Hegel to come to me. ”

After the tragic destruction of the Invincible Armada, the Second Goblin Empire began to start the policy of moving the border and forbidding the sea in order to prevent the invasion and nuisance of the main 6 by pirates. There is no doubt that this policy can be called a double-edged sword, which has caused the Second Goblin Empire to pay huge security and administrative costs, but the blow to the human resistance organization is also unprecedented, and the old intelligence channels on the main 6 have almost all been cut off, and the foundation of the thousand-year-old operation of the Count Fu Lu family is on Qiongzhou Island, where Luo Zhengdao directly sent the islanders to a wrapping party. In other coastal areas, the unarmed inhabitants of the human race have been forced to flee their homes by the swords and guns of the traitorous puppet army, and they have watched their old homes turn into scorched rubble in the raging flames.

Today, it is difficult to obtain the intelligence information of the main 6 aspects through the information channels of the human side, but those alien tribes that are not in the climate are not very valued by the goblins, and the old pirates like Zola, who are very well-connected, can find out a lot of inside information through their information channels, and Luo Zhengdao has to rely on this now.

Having been busy working part-time as a supervisor at the underground construction site of Wake Reef lately, wielding whips all day long to urge the dwarven slaves to dig tunnels and dig caverns, Zola Hegel, a boatswain who had hurried to hear the news, patted his chest and said:

"Oh, little things, wrap up on me, I'll just go to the main 6 tomorrow."

The boatswain is indeed an unruly lord, but since the fat sheep on the sea are decreasing, the life of the hungry wolves is becoming more and more difficult, and it is difficult to make a fortune under Luo Zhengdao, so you can have a round belly! Zola Hegel, who has no worries about food and clothing, has no plans to start a new business or change his job for the time being. The market outside is not good, it is better to nest in Wake Reef as a supervisor, the future of this job is not very good, but the pure chaos is not bad, he also sent his adopted orphans here, and the rest of the things are nothing to worry about, you might as well regard it as self-cultivation!

Saw off Zola Hegel on the front foot, and Luo Zhengdao had just been idle for a while, when the quartermaster Haile Pope, who was on duty at the docks, appeared out of nowhere, and as soon as he saw him, he shouted loudly:

"Lord Count, a guest has come to visit you."

"Guests? What guests? ”

Luo Zhengdao, who didn't know why, stood up suspiciously, and at this time, at the door of the office, a tall and burly figure appeared, and said in a loud voice:

"Hehehehe, old friend, don't you welcome me? Your Excellency Count Frus? ”

Recognizing the identity of the other party, Luo Zhengdao's initially confused expression turned into a smile, he made a gesture to sit down, and said:

"It turned out to be His Excellency Gao De, please take a seat!"

"No need, I'm not here today. The goblins cut off all the foreign trade routes of the main big 6, and the coastal residents moved to the inner 6, and everyone is very tight! ”

Listening to Gaode Needham's straightforward narration, Luo Zhengdao had already realized something, he listened on the surface, and in his heart he was wondering why the other party came to visit at this point in time, could it be that he suddenly remembered that he had a good relationship with him?

After staring at Gao De in silence for a moment, Luo Zhengdao had no intention of wasting time, spread his hands and said:

"Your Excellency Gao De, you are right, but you shouldn't have come to me to complain today, right?"

Obviously, Gao De also knew that his eloquence was not the material of an orator, so he smiled a little embarrassedly at the moment, and said to the point:

"Your Excellency, you should have heard the legend of the Emperor of Light, that is, the secret treasure of His Majesty Taizu!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but be stunned, don't say it, he really hasn't heard of any treasure legends of the Emperor of Light, the problem is that he can't show his cowardice at this time! Immediately, Luo Zhengdao smiled slightly, picked up the teacup from the table to hide the change in feelings, and said:

"Hehehehe, there are a lot of such legends, you won't take it seriously!"

"No, it's not just a legend."

The purpose of Gaude Needham's trip was not as complicated as Luo Zhengdao thought, and he said what he was thinking in a straightforward manner. After careful calculation and analysis, convinced that the other party was not making up a story to fool himself, Luo Zhengdao narrowed his eyes and said tentatively:

"What, Your Excellency Gao De has a clue?"

"Yes, I have a treasure map in my hand."

ps: Paralyzed, I've seen it again, it turns out that "different. "ground" is also a sensitive word.
