Besides, Lao Jiu at this time, when he returned to the Easy Empire, he was in a very good mood. However, at this time, on the game forum, players in the North American Alliance can fry the pot. However, Lao Jiu didn't bother to pay attention to it, but began to plan for the next step.

For Lao Jiu, his first step plan is to completely control Canglong Island. The materials on Canglong's body are almost the best materials for making top-level warships. Of course, his purpose was not to wipe out the dragons, but to create a cordon on the island.

He wants to use the method of killing to tell all the dragons that they will die if they go five miles deep on the island, so as to ensure the safe exploitation of the island's resources. The Canglong near Canglong Island can provide natural protection for Canglong Island.

Because, even with Lao Jiu's strength, it is almost impossible to destroy a level ninety dragon in the sea, and even level eighty can easily escape from his palm. For more than half a year, Lao Jiu has hunted almost half of the Canglong, basically forcing the Canglong back.

And his second step plan is to build a military factory on Canglong Island. As long as he leaves enough living space for Canglong, then Canglong will become the best guardian of Canglong Island, and this place will also become the safest military production base.

With the mining of a large number of high-grade ore veins, the military equipment of various empires has been qualitatively improved. The elite troops of the major empires now use equipment levels have reached the gold level on average.

And in terms of equipment, the Easy Empire no longer has an absolute advantage. Therefore, Lao Jiu also plans to upgrade the equipment of the Empire as a whole, and try to upgrade the level of the empire's standard equipment by one level.

Although it is only a first-level gap, the amount of money to be invested, with all kinds of minerals, is almost a bottomless pit. And Lao Jiu's only confidence is the super veins on Canglong Island, as well as the extinct volcanic veins that are being mined.

If you don't upgrade the level of your equipment now, you're likely to suffer a big loss in the future. After planning everything, Lao Jiu asked Mi Baoer and Baili to drift snow and come to Canglong Island on the same day. The first is to let Mibaoer conduct on-the-spot inspections and design military production bases. The first is to discuss the replacement of equipment with Baili Piaoxue.

"You're spending money, and it's getting less and less!" After listening to Lao Jiu's tirade, Baili Piaoxue was the first to roll his eyes, "Do you know how much investment is required to upgrade equipment?" If it weren't for our rich mineral resources, it is estimated that your free empire would have gone bankrupt long ago. ”

"I'll give you the simplest account, let's just say the top gold equipment, we only have two million sets at the moment. And a set of top-notch gold equipment, the cost price alone is about 10,000 gold coins, which is not counting the processing fee and the maintenance cost in the later stage. ”

"And these two million sets of equipment were also built in one go when the Xiaoyao Empire was built, and the funds in our hands had nowhere to spend them. Now that you have greatly expanded your troops, our equipment level has dropped directly to the top silver level. ”

"Despite this, the cost of each set of top-notch silver equipment is around a thousand gold coins. And with our current national strength, building 10 million sets is already our limit. And you're still thinking about upgrading your gear? I think you're thinking about the bankruptcy of the Empire. ”

"Don't we all have the materials? As for the cost of building and later maintenance, I think we should be able to afford it, right? Lao Jiu said with a frown.

"In addition to the large amount of cuprite ore we are currently hoarding, what other mineral reserves do we have?" Mi Baoer glanced at Lao Jiu with disdain and said, "And with our current copper ore reserves, it is only enough to build five million sets of top-notch gold equipment." ”

"As for the higher-level equipment you want, it's a million sets at most. In addition to this, a large amount of colored copper ore is also required. And the colored copper ore we currently mine can only supply the manufacture of space equipment. So, when it comes to upgrading equipment in the near future, I advise you not to think about it. ”

"You mean, as long as we have a lot of colored copper ore, we can build our own pseudo-god suit?" Lao Jiu said a little unwillingly.

"The equipment we are talking about is actually forcibly upgraded by relying on the level of the material, and it is not a real pseudo-god equipment at all." Mibaol shook his head and explained, "According to our people's experiments, almost all the building techniques we have mastered now are incomplete. ”

"Because according to the craftsman, the best material used in gold-level equipment is gold and copper ore, and there is no need to mix cuprite at all. The reason for doping cuprite ore is to make up for the lost technology, which also greatly increases the cost of equipment. ”

"And the pseudo-god equipment we all agree on is actually a purple costume created from copper ore. It's a pity that these complete building techniques have now been lost. If someone can complete that world mission, maybe all of this will be solved. ”

"World Mission?" Lao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, are you talking about the 'craftsmanship experience'?" I feel that this system is cheating on the father, the huge game world, let the player go to find the eighteen pieces of paper! ”

"So, I don't approve of you wasting a lot of resources by upgrading your equipment now." Mibael spread his hands and said, "The most important thing we should do now is to stock up on resources and wait for the opportunity!" ”

"Okay, then I'll just say it!" Lao Jiu said helplessly, "Regarding the world mission, don't you have any eyebrows at the moment?" ”

"Maybe there is, but it's all kept secret! I guess whoever gets it, they won't make a big splash, right? Mi Baoer said, "After all, now a piece of paper has been fried to tens of billions of gold coins, this price, but it really means that a dead person is a dead person." ”

"Ten billion gold coins? Impossible! Hearing Mi Baoer say this, Lao Jiu was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue.

"Saying that it is tens of billions of gold coins, it is estimated that it is a bait. Now whoever dares to say that he has the experience of craftsmanship is estimated to be killed in minutes. "Although the equipment cannot be upgraded, it is time to move the military production base." ”

"How? How are you going to design this island? Lao Jiu looked at her and asked.

"Personally, I'd suggest that we fence off the entire island, but we should leave enough space for the dragons on the periphery, after all, they're our best guards." After walking around the island, Mibael said with satisfaction.

"As for how to build it, it depends on Sister Baili, after all, this costs money. However, in my experience, the materials here are very convenient, and the area is not too large, so it should not cost much. ”

"Just say as much as you want, right?" Baili drifting snow whitened Mibaoer and said.

"It is enough to build a city wall with 100 million gold coins, mainly for the construction of military production lines. Now the military production line under the mountain of life and death is far from meeting the needs of the empire. Therefore, I am going to build a military production line here, so that if you calculate it, a total of one billion gold coins will be about the same. ”

"It doesn't cost much?" Baili Piaoxue said very speechlessly, "It's just a billion gold coins, and the empire can still draw them out at present." ”

"In that case, let's take it one step at a time. Bao'er, you take out the design drawings as soon as possible, Baili will prepare the money, and I will mobilize people. Lao Jiu said to the two, and then the three began to act separately.

Lao Jiu's task is to transport labor, as well as various materials. This kind of hard work, of course, is the most suitable for choosing recruits. Not only is the work efficiency high, but it can also be used as a workout to improve the strength of recruits.

Almost all of the high-level NPCs in the Easy Empire grew up in this way. Therefore, after Lao Jiu returned to the Xiaoyao Empire, he first went to the north to gather 200,000 recruits, and then notified Zhu Erpang and asked her to start preparing some necessary supplies.

For example, military tents, daily necessities, and food. And after Lao Jiu sent 200,000 recruits to Canglong Island, he began to transport a large number of supplies. After three days of tossing back and forth, Mibbel finally made the design drawings.

At the same time, the craftsmen recruited by Lao Jiu and Bai Ruyu have long been in place. So the transformation of the entire Canglong Island can be regarded as the beginning.

According to Mibauer's design, all the ten miles of coastal areas on the island were left to Canglong. Despite this, the construction of the entire city wall, the total length of which also reached more than a hundred kilometers. In order to protect the safety of these workers, Lao Jiu also began to live permanently on the island.

And he also sent undead cavalry patrols to prevent the blinding dragons from rushing through the cordon and hurting the construction crowd. In addition to the construction of the city wall, the internal military production line also began to be synchronized.

On Canglong Island today, hundreds of thousands of laborers work almost day and night. And the entire island is also the same day by day, and it only took a month for the outer city wall of the entire Canglong Island to be completely completed.

The city wall, which was supposed to be completed a long time ago, was built by more than 100,000 people, but it took more than ten days to build. Mainly on the premise of preventing dragons, the walls of the island are thickened and heightened. Because the ninety-level Canglong is not a joke, if it really starts to go berserk, the ordinary city wall is likely to be brutally washed down by the Canglong.

And when the walls were built, the internal production lines remained. Unlike the construction of the city walls, this is a real technical job, so the pace has been slow. However, after the city wall, Lao Jiu's task is basically over.

In the end, an elite army was mobilized to protect Canglong Island, and at the same time, after installing the super bed crossbow on the city wall, Lao Jiu could also leave with confidence. Because with the arrival of the major alliance empires, after the sun never sets, their counterattack against Huaxia has also begun to officially start.

And Lao Jiu left this time because he wanted to go to the empire where the sun never sets to fight the autumn wind. He spent a lot of money this time, and whether he can get some money back depends on this trip to the empire. As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth! With the intention of making a windfall, Lao Jiu set off towards the sun.
