Akiniwa felt that his good luck had been overused in the battle more than half a month ago, so that the journey after setting sail was not smooth until now.

Speaking of which, most people have a good impression of the sea, right? Such as the blue sea and blue sky?

But for the armored cruiser USS United Forces at the moment, that does not exist!

The hull of the ship swayed slightly and repeatedly to the rhythm of the waves, and through the thick armor in the command room, you could see dense showers sweeping over the batteries one after another, and the gray-white waves covered the bow of the ship from time to time.

Fortunately, the armored cruiser USS United Force was not a sailboat or a sailboat (steam engine, sail hybrid), otherwise the current bad sea conditions would have sent all the new sailors who had only been in contact with the sea for less than half a year to the bottom of the sea, or the hull (broken sail pole) was seriously damaged.

"It's really a day, and I plunged headlong into a cyclone."

Yuba Akiwa, who was located in the conning tower, was not worried about the 10,000-ton battleship carrying himself under his feet, after all, the tonnage was there. According to the reports that came back, the situation inside the ship, although a little slightly chaotic, was far less exaggerated than serious enough to lose order.

Miyagawa Hinata who was hugging the girl was helping Akiwa Yuba comb her hair, and responded casually: "Right now, this cyclone is the first test of this ship!" ”

"That's right, after all, ocean voyages, cyclones of this magnitude are also a matter of time, and it's not bad to experience some now, and you can also test the professional quality of the crew."

While the high-level personnel of the control tower were not too worried about the fate of the battleship, the personnel below were scrambling to fix the stockpiled supplies, the ship's equipment, and of course, carefully check whether the propellant in the ammunition compartment was stored according to the standard.

Adventurers in the recovery profession check the cabins one by one, and once they find that the HP of the earthlings has dropped, they will help them recover it.

After all, in addition to the original recruited earthland people and seafarers, the Garan Courtyard recruited a group of 500 pioneers in front of the park through the influence of Duke Wakiri, mainly to ensure the health of these landlubbers who came into contact with the sea for the first time.

After a short voyage of 'suffering'.

When the engineers of the Garan Garden and the Marine Agency arrived at the destination water, it was a sunny day.

"Uh... The sun is so dazzling. At this time, Daolong, who was usually full of energy, was wearing a straw hat, and his tall body stood in the shadow of the ship's superstructure, complaining weakly: "Even if I have been to the park a few times, I still can't adapt to the hot climate here." ”

Not only the engineer adventurers brought by his marine agency, but even most of the members of the Garan Courtyard said that they were not adapted to the climate here.

Subtropical → tropical.

The current coordinates are in the waters off the east coast of the Indochina Peninsula, where the armored cruiser USS United Forces is anchored at an estuary.

"Everyone should remember that water can only be drunk with boiled water or pure water provided by the water fairy!" On the foredeck of the bow of the ship, Aruba was explaining the precautions of the five hundred pioneers gathered here: "This is a hot area, and drinking the rivers and streams of this place at will may be infected with malaria, but this is a parasitic disease that we adventurers have no good solution for!" ”

As the former guild leader, Aruba was no stranger to this kind of scene, and his language was clear and clear about the fact that there should be no puddles of water in the living quarters, and that mosquitoes should be eliminated, and that the most obvious thing was to prevent these recruited earthlings from contracting malaria.

Autumn garden Xiye doesn't have such a thing as cinchona in his hand, maybe he can restore the HP, but the root of the disease is not cured, so wait for the hardship for a lifetime.

Alice is helping the steam crane to lift the landing craft from the bracket into the sea, boxes of pioneer supplies are lifted off the deck, adventurers throw rope ladders off the side of the board, and Snowy Pancakes ride the Wyvern to survey a suitable location for a stronghold.

In the Jinghe area of Cochin Province, the location of the Shiroku Iron Mine is located in the inland mountains and forests, and the target was selected as the Shixi Iron Mine near the coast due to the limited transportation capacity, and it is also a gentle area, so it is extremely convenient to transport iron ore and build a railway from the mining area to the wharf.

The landing process was not smooth, but fortunately there was no attack from the shark-like fishmen.

There was another sound of "poof-" falling into the water, and a burst of "hahahahahaha!" immediately erupted on the side of the ship! The laughter came.

Some are earthlings, some are adventurers, but as long as they fall into the water and look like a chicken in the soup and are rescued by the daffodils waiting in the water, they have undoubtedly become the object of joke for everyone on the landing craft and the side of the ship.

Not to mention the landing craft that shuttle back and forth to carry people and supplies.

A summoner summons a salamander the size of a van, which is the power source used to power one of the four steam boilers used to power the USS United Forces' armored cruiser.

The huge salamander only existed here, and the autumn garden and sunset could also feel the scorching aura that kept emanating, and when the salamander used its passive flame armor, the heat wave made people involuntarily take two steps back.

Even in an extremely humid environment, it cannot compete with the high temperature and heat that is used as an energy source for propulsion boilers.

Like a cow, he directs the fire lizard to burn all the combustibles along the way, and chew and swallow the trees when they encounter them. Although it is not as effective as feeding with coals, salamanders still get a feeling of fullness from eating. Traveling so slowly that even the mud and stone ground was scorched.

At the same time, the salamander spewed flames in all directions from time to time, and in front of them was a dazzling flash of fire and billowing smoke.

In just two hours or so, a raised hill on the coast was burned black.

Summoner: "Alright! After the disinfection is done - there will be no mosquitoes for the time being. According to the process, the water fairy is summoned, and it is used as a source to summon flowing water to extinguish the remaining flames on the scorching earth.

Today's adventurers, due to the convenience brought by salamanders and narcissus, the status of summoners has greatly improved compared to the past.

On the other side of the beach.

Aruba commanded a group of former men and ordered: "Go and level the ground and try to put up the fence of the camp before it gets dark!" ”

A group of necromancers (summoners) who were divided into the logging group, the digging group, and the transportation group immediately recited the skill spell, and countless skeletons armed with swords emerged from the sand of the coast, and then threw away the weapons in their hands, and instead went to pry open the unloaded wooden boxes, and took out a series of axes, shovels, iron picks, and other production tools, and a group of more than a dozen was commanded by the 'foreman' who summoned them.

Looking at the thousands of skeleton soldiers in front of him, they turned into tireless workers.

The representatives sent by the Marine Agency, the Eighth Shopping Street, and the Loderick Chamber of Commerce all opened their mouths in surprise.

It's not that they haven't organized a production of thousands of people, but they can't help but be taken aback when they see one hundred and twenty necromancers (summoners) driving the summoned army of skeletons to work at the same time.

"This scene is really spectacular, and I'll have to organize the necromancers in the guild when I go back."

Even Dao Long, the head of the Marine Organization Guild, who had 5,000 members, couldn't help but be a little envious of the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be satisfied with the results of his own expedition.

Although Autumn Courtyard Yuba squandered a lot of supplies in the last battle, it seemed that he had a big fight for face, but the dividends brought by the war were actually quite rich.

Guilds like Aruba, which have a huge (labor) use, are co-opted as an organization, and new adventurers bring new money with them, not to mention the positive effects that follow-up, such as more adventurers in front of the park wanting to join.

The guild personnel and strength have simply jumped to the level of a class.

"After all, the tropical jungle is still cultivated by those skeleton soldiers who are not afraid of injury and illness." Qiu Ting Yuba shrugged his shoulders and responded: "After all, I don't expect those earthly pioneers to let them go to the mines, as long as they can supply food to the mining area stably." ”

"Aren't you going to expand your production a little more?"

Hearing Daolong's question, Qiu Ting Xiye squinted at the other party and said, "The mining area has not been explored yet, so you want to increase production?" Even if we take a step back and say that we have that much capacity at the moment? ”

"Aren't you coming to the shipping company that is preparing for the new joint operation?"

Looking at the other party's smile that had already eaten you, the girl responded very unhappily, "Who said I wasn't interested?" And just two or three bulk carriers, dare to say that they are the same as listed companies? ”

"But who else but us?" Dao Long confidently retorted, "Those guys in Kansai? Not to mention the bulk trade in front of the park, the output of this mine is what really takes up capacity, but does the current situation require the level of two shipping companies? Or did they build the ship and come here to help haul the cargo? It's a boring joke. ”

The Jinghe Iron Mine, which is currently being built in Qiuting Xiye, has a preliminary capital of only 200,000 gold coins.

But this is simply not worth mentioning for the scale of '544 million tons' written in the information at hand, and the reason why the group came here across the sea is because of the impact of the '10 million military purchases' about a month ago, and the prices of 'metal ores' and 'metal ingots' on the market in the entire Yamato region have skyrocketed all the way up, and they are extremely scarce.

Even though the Marine Agency, the Eighth Shopping Street, and the Loderick Chamber of Commerce have stored a lot of related supplies in advance.

The 10,000-ton steel giant ship of the "Combined Forces Armored Cruiser" can be built, and nearly seventy percent of the inventory will be consumed, and there will be artillery production, the construction of bulk carriers (ships that transport goods such as coal, ore, and timber without bandaging) and other production tasks that require the consumption of a large amount of metal.

Chasing money, driving a group of people to the unknown land.
