Chapter 267: The Islands of Peace

"Hearing you say this, I feel more and more that this is a treasure land!" The more Lao Jiu thought about it, the happier he became, he looked at everyone and said, "Then let's give this island group a name, shall we?" From now on, it will be the territory of our Empire! ”

"Then you have to be able to defend it, a place like this will definitely be a battleground for the major empires in the future, and if you don't have a strong naval military force, you will definitely not be able to hold it." Long Sifeng rolled his eyes and said.

"It's better to call it the Peace Islands, which symbolizes peace in the future." Baili Piaoxue thought for a while and said.

"The idea is good, I'm afraid that it will become a war archipelago in the future!" Bai Ruyu looked at the hundred miles of snow around her and said.

"The development of long-haul routes is not something that can be completed in a year and a half. So we still have a lot of time to operate, as long as we build this place into a perfect maritime military base before other empires discover it, then we won't be afraid of other people's prying eyes. Lao Jiu thought for a while and said.

"But have you ever thought about it, to build an ideal naval military base, the amount of gold and materials needed is simply astronomical, and with our current situation, it is simply impossible to do it." Baili Piaoxue immediately poured a basin of cold water on Lao Jiu.

"So we can beat the time difference!" Lao Jiu looked at her and said, "Now the island group, the sea is the best defense layer. At least for the next year, we don't need to think about defense construction, we only need to think about the development of agriculture. ”

"Today, the most eye-catching thing for us is the development of the Kirin base. As for the Peace Islands you named, in the eyes of everyone, they are still an unknown existence. So, we can develop in secret. ”

"The resources of the sea are by no means limited to this, and the island of peace is currently only suitable for economic development, and with our current economic strength, it is no longer suitable for the construction of large-scale fortifications." Long Sifeng thought for a moment and said.

"Until the empire's economy stabilized, we were conservative. Peace Island is currently dominated by the economy, and as for how to protect it in the future, we don't have to think about it first. But you can use Peace Island as a springboard to try to find the mineral resources that are currently scarce in the ocean. ”

"Sister Feng is right, so far, our economic strength has not allowed us to make additional expenses, and it is already the limit to be able to maintain the status quo." Baili Piaoxue also said, "With the natural conditions of Heping Island, it should be safe within a year or two." ”

"So, we can ignore the construction of its fortifications for now. We've all seen the footage you brought back just now, so I'll start by saying what I think. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. ”

"The first is the topography of the islands. For growing crops, there are inherent advantages. In particular, the two islands have a gentle terrain and very fertile land, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. ”

"The second is the cultivation of fruits. Because on each island, there are many naturally growing fruit trees, and there are many varieties. If we can cultivate it, I believe that Heping Island will also become an important fruit production base. ”

"Finally, there's the food supply. Because on these islands, there are hundreds of millions of seabirds. These are the best food sources. Moreover, from these seabirds, it can also be deduced that the sea area where the island is located must be rich in fish and shrimp and other resources. ”

"We can imagine that the production of seafood in an environment that can supply hundreds of millions of seabirds is not high. This alone is enough to open up the market for inland seafood supply and become an important source of income for our economy. ”

"By what you say, Peace Island currently has extraordinary economic development potential!" Lao Jiu said with some emotion.

"You think everyone else is like you, you can only see ready-made gold coins!" Bai Ruyu glanced at Lao Jiu and said.

"Yuyu, Brother Jiu recently discovered that you seem to have an opinion on Brother Jiu!" Lao Jiu looked at Bai Ruyu a little provocatively and said.

"Sister, it's just that I've seen you drift a little lately." Bai Ruyu also did not show weakness, staring at Lao Jiu and said.

"Why don't you two have some space tonight?" At this time, Long Sifeng glanced at the two and said.

"I don't sleep with him when I sleep with Xiangxiang." Bai Ruyu rolled her eyes and said.

"That's it, it's much more comfortable to hold Sister Yuyu than to hold him!" Yu Shengxiang hurriedly answered.

"I'll you, when did you two get Lily? It seems that this is my dereliction of duty! Lao Jiu glared at Yu Shengxiang, his face darkened a little and said, "No, brother has to change your habits tonight!" ”

"Can't you be serious?" Baili Piaoxue rolled her eyes and said, "Now that the teleportation array is restricted, the possession of the territory has also been changed. How are you going to connect the two places, and what conditions do you need for the teleportation array to be usable? ”

"It's easy." Lao Jiu didn't think about it and said, "There are still 100,000 people in the He clan, I only need to build a town, and then plant the flag of the empire in the town, and set up a teleportation array, as long as it takes three days, the town will belong to the Xiaoyao Empire, and then the teleportation array will naturally be connected." ”

"Don't rejoice too soon." At this time, Long Sifeng frowned and said, "Xiao Jiu, have you seen a river or lake on the island?" In other words, have you paid attention to the amount of fresh water stored on the island? ”

"Uh...... I really didn't pay attention to this. Hearing Long Sifeng say this, Lao Jiu was immediately startled, and then thought for a while and said, "In my memory, there doesn't seem to be any lake. Even the rivers are not very many. ”

"You mean, worry about the lack of fresh water supply for the island groups? If the supply of fresh water for the entire island group can only be replenished by precipitation, then we may really be in trouble. If there is a real lack of fresh water, this matter will not be easy! ”

"When you go online, you must find out the situation in this regard. This is really about the future development of the Peace Islands. Long Sifeng said with a frown.

"Well, this issue was really ignored by me." Lao Jiu also frowned deeply, then looked at her and said, "Tomorrow I will explore the situation of the entire island group in detail, and try not to miss any problems." ”

"If possible, you have people try to dig up the groundwater and see how the groundwater is going." Long Sifeng looked at Lao Jiu and reminded.

"Well, I'll try that. However, since there are hundreds of millions of seabirds living on the archipelago, I guess there should be no shortage of fresh water. Lao Jiu also looked at her and said.

"The design of the game is very balanced, maybe the fresh water resources on these pirates are just enough to supply the survival of seabirds, if you add humans, maybe fresh water will become the most scarce resource on the island!" Long Sifeng thought for a moment and said.

"Well, it looks like I have a lot of things to do tomorrow." The old opportunity said helplessly.

After everyone had eaten and drunk, they talked for a long time about the peace islands, and then they began to rest. In order to solve the little resentment in Bai Ruyu's heart, Lao Jiu still rested with her at night.

Early the next morning, when the old chance enters the game, he releases the people of the Washi Bi and begins to build a town on the island. Of course, at present, it is all simple construction, just to meet the teleportation conditions of the teleportation array.

The exploration of the entire Peace Islands is not a matter of one or two days. Therefore, the first thing Lao Jiu has to do is to set up a teleportation array, and let other NPCs build simple towns first. Then he began to explore the other islands.

It took more than four days for Lao Jiu to fully understand the entire Peace Islands. In addition to the two large islands, the Peace Islands have a total of 18 medium-sized islands and 29 small islands.

The entire group of islands, a total of forty-nine islands. There are countless seabirds on each island, and the fresh water resources on the islands are not very abundant. If agriculture is developed in large quantities, or if a large number of people move in, freshwater resources are likely to be scarce.

The only thing that makes Lao Jiu's heart feel good is that there are a lot of fruit trees on each island. There are many varieties of them, and there are many of them. This can be regarded as another compensation given to him by the system.

As soon as the teleportation array was opened, Lao Jiu began to transfer manpower from the Easy Empire, and then began to cultivate land on the island. On these islands, there is no danger, so Lao Jiu did not build any defenses.

Except for the workers who came to build the ship, almost all of the NPCs sent to the island by Lao Jiu were mainly farming. Due to the impact of freshwater resources, the current Peace Islands can only be developed in the simplest way.

After another five days, the fleet of the Easy Empire finally arrived safely at the Qilin base with troops, workers, and various supplies. Today's Qilin Port is in dilapidation, and the entire Qilin base has also become a scorched earth.

Perhaps because the whip is out of reach, none of the three empires occupy this area. Lao Jiu's men and horses have now returned and built the Qilin base again. And this time, the amount of work is almost 100 times that of the previous one!

And in these five days, Lao Jiu has been soaring above the endless sea with Dumb. It's a pity that after five days, he didn't gain anything. Maybe it's because during these five days, he explored the waters northeast of the Peace Islands.

Although Lao Jiu did not find any islands in the northeast sea, on the surface of the sea, some glaciers of different sizes can be found from time to time. It seems that the ocean in the game, the two levels may also be covered by glaciers.

I just don't know if there will be any hidden mineral deposits or artifacts in the real North Pole. However, the current Lao Jiu does not have much time or energy to explore the North Pole.

Because, his next target is the southeast direction of the Peace Islands. If there is no gain, Lao Jiu may be really disappointed. Maybe he'll find a way to explore the empire where the sun never sets in the south.
