Chapter 1142, River
One thing after another was quickly arranged, and after all the problems of the Mage Academy were dealt with, Luo Ji's attention shifted to the development of the navy. Vertex X23US
Today's civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, if it wants to build a warship, it is directly a steam warship, and a warship that completely suppresses the dark elves in science and technology is absolute.
But the problem is that before he can do so, he still needs to solve a problem that is very troublesome, and that is that he does not have a suitable port!
What's the use of him building a warship in Mingjing Lake or Qingshui Lake? This battleship can't go into the sea at all! Trapped and dying inland.
As for expanding the territory all the way over, and then establishing ports and building warships in the coastal areas, then Reddis's side will definitely not let him build too comfortably.
In the current situation, the best thing to do is to find a large river that is wide enough to open to the sea, and he will get a port out there and start building ships!
In this way, after the ship was built, it sailed all the way down the river into the sea.
This matter, Luo Ji has already instructed the Giant Eagle Knights under Kalgan's command to do it.
When they rushed to the Sunset Mountain Range to support the Grey Elves before, they were in a hurry, but Luo Ji, who was standing on the head of Ysera's dragon at the time, still saw a few rivers of good size.
It wasn't too far from his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, and if those rivers could go straight to the sea, then things would be simple.
So what Luo Ji needs to do at present is to wait for news, and by the way, ask the Science and Technology Institute to continue to improve the steam engine to see if it can further increase the power of the steam engine.
At that time, the output power of this steam engine will not be powerful, but it will affect the key factors of how many tonnage warships he can build, and how fast the warships can move at sea.
Now going back to the river, it obviously takes a lot of time to find out the direction of the main tributaries of the river, and even the Giant Eagle Knights, who are flying units, cannot do it in a short time.
Kalgan, who received this task, could only ask the Giant Eagle Knights under his command to confirm the past one by one with measuring tools.
After a long journey south along a large river that was wide enough, a difficult problem in front of him made Kalgan's brow furrow.
The river stretched all the way beyond the miasma-shrouded swamp rainforest......
In this area, the river branched off into a tributary that stretched into the swampy rainforest.
But fortunately, the main stream is still outside, and continuing south along the mainstream, this large river located inland, decisively successfully merges into the sea.
The task personally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor also made Kalgan breathe a sigh of relief after finally having a landing, but the swampy rainforest was directly next to the mainstream, and even occupied a tributary, so it was obvious that it could not be ignored......
With a group of subordinates quickly rushed back to the Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, Luo Ji, who heard this report, frowned slightly.
The news that Kalgan brought back this time can be said to be mixed.
Xide succeeded in finding a great river that met the requirements, and at the same time, the source of that great river happened to be one hundred and fifty miles away from the southeast region of his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization (formerly the commercial empire).
At this distance, he didn't need to build a city at all, he only needed to build a military fortress on the edge of the big river, connected to the port, which could be used as both a fortress and a port, killing two birds with one stone.
The worry is that the swamp rainforest in that location is a necessary route, and it is obviously impossible to ignore it, in case there is any potential threat in it, it is better to clear it in advance, so as not to cause anything more troublesome at that time.
But this distance is too far, and in the absence of logistical supplies, it is difficult for Luo Ji to send a large force over to conduct reconnaissance and exploration.
Compared to this distance problem, that little miasma is easier to deal with.
The weather in the south is hot, rainy and humid, and most of the mountains and forests are miasma, which is not an uncommon thing, so they naturally have a way to deal with this miasma.
To put it simply, just eat more barley.
Between thoughts and thoughts, Luo Ji made a decision.
"Calgan, this matter is hard for you to run again, I allow you to take three hundred giant eagle knights and set off in the early spring of next year, mainly for reconnaissance, and once you find a crisis, retreat immediately."
"The last general commands!"
Receiving a new assignment, Kalgan quickly retreated.
Then looking at the map in his hand, Luo Ji hurriedly ordered someone to call the minister of the Ministry of Construction Engineering.
Let them send someone to the site to confirm the terrain first, so as to determine the location of the military fortress, and then send a plan report.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the name, Luo Ji simply named the big river the Yangtze River, according to the simple measurement of the giant eagle knights, the length is at least more than 5,000 kilometers, this scale, has been called the word 'spectacular', but unfortunately, it does not seem to meet the requirements of natural wonders, as for more detailed data, we have to wait for the people of the engineering department to measure slowly.
All kinds of things were quickly ordered, and the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds at this time was like a huge machine, running wildly.
During this period, several other major projects within the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization naturally made new progress.
In addition to the Elven Province in the south, the other three sides and a whole border area have been basically laid.
Today, within the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, the number of steam trains officially in operation has reached as many as sixteen.
And according to the latest report sent by Goblin Technology, in the near future, there will be four steam locomotives manufactured, which can be said to be quite high in popularity.
At the same time, the northern part, as the first city in the bitter cold land, Winterfell has been preliminarily completed, and the various constructions in the city, although it will take a few more years to slowly carry out, but the population can already be transferred.
As for the choice of the lord of this city, Luo Ji is determined to be the patriarch of the Winter tribe among the northern tribes.
As a top governance talent with five stars in command and four stars in intelligence, Hill's governance ability is obviously beyond doubt, and over the years, her loyalty has reached eighty-nine points.
This time, Luo Ji officially canonized her as the city lord of Winterfell, and her loyalty should be able to break through the ninety point mark in one go, and she can be regarded as a trustworthy and loyal minister.
The candidate for the general to defend the city is to determine the current patriarch of the Ice Bear Clan, Cley, who is considered a good general with four stars of bravery, and his loyalty is also eighty-seven points, and at the same time, Luo Ji also moved the White Bear Tribe, the White Fox Tribe, the White Wolf Tribe, the Wild Boar People tribe in the north, and a group of northern orcs led by the Great Chief Luke to Winterfell, which can be regarded as further strengthening the city's defense force.
In the early years of the war in the north, the northern tribes made a lot of efforts, and this winter city can be regarded as an explanation for them.
