Since opening up with Becky about their future plans, the Celestial Kings Pirates have immediately begun to vigorously acquire Shellfish resources.

Whether it's a living shell or a combat type, there are as many as you want.

Will plans to use his ability to bring Becky back to the West Sea as soon as possible, but since he is here, he naturally can't return empty-handed. So you have to bring back as many 'specialties' as possible from the empty island.

Through this acquisition, Will understood why there are so few existing shellfish resources in Qinghai.

Because the people of Djerba do not take Bailey at all.

In fact, if you think about it, this is normal. What use do they want Pele?

They basically only have iron and glass.

Even the land is extremely precious, and it is basically nonsense to talk about the production of minerals.

Needless to say, ironwork, glass is actually made of quartz, which is also a type of mineral.

What kind of person can be called a rich man on the Sky Island?

Iron utensils for cooking, dressing in the mirror, and windows in the house.

It's that simple!

Therefore, these two necessities of life are the hard currency used by the Qinghai people and the Kongdao people to trade.

The current location of the Celestial Pirates is named Skyborn Graden by Will, which means Sky Garden.

This is enough for more than 200 members of the Heavenly King Pirates to live and train, and the total price is: one ton of iron products!

This is an unimaginable price in Qinghai!

How much is a ton of iron worth? It's just a few million Baileys.

It is well known that the reason why the Great Voyage cannot use the compass is because the magnetic force of the island is too strong. In other words, the Pirate World has particularly high mineral reserves.

So Qinghai's minerals are very cheap.

But here's the thing.

No matter how low the price of these things is, the weight is there!

A large merchant ship with a full load of more than a dozen tons of carrying capacity was killed. If you add supplies and crews, this number will drop significantly.

Therefore, for the caravans in Qinghai, even if the existence of the empty island was discovered, the biggest problem was how to transport the tradable goods!

In this comparison, the power of Becky's castle fruit is immediately highlighted.

As a castle, it's not the weight that limits the amount of storage, it's the space!

Iron and glass products are small in size and heavy in weight, which are suitable for human flesh delivery!

If nothing else, there is now a small ordnance factory inside Becky's body. If you dismantle the iron and glass products in the castle and melt them, it will be enough for them to return with a full purchase this time!

In the future, if Becky is fully prepared in Qinghai, the goods that can be brought are unimaginable!

And that's not all!

In the process of using his flying ability to investigate, Fabio discovers something amazing!

"Captain, this is it."

Will was walking through a dense forest with a few of his henchmen and Silas.

The trees in the dense forest here generally secrete a milky white viscous liquid.

Kuro dipped his finger in a bit, tasted it with his mouth, and spit it out. Xiang Will nodded, "Young Lord, it's indeed a rubber tree. ”

Rubber trees, as the name suggests, are trees that produce rubber.

Rubber is a very precious resource.

At least in Qinghai.

From military equipment to infusion tubes, rubber is indispensable.

As long as it is a large instrument, from ships, trains, to cannons, rubber is indispensable. In another world, rubber was the central product that directly drove the Industrial Revolution. In the world of pirates, the production of rubber has actually become one of the reasons that hinders the development of the world of pirates into an industrial world.

In fact, Tom the Fishman should have started working on sea trains by now.

But why so many years of research?

One of the problems is that rubber is too expensive in Qinghai!

The reason for this lies in the growing environment required by rubber trees.

Rubber trees must grow in the tropics, where temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius can cause frostbite, and the land must be fertile and rains all year round to grow.

But the biggest feature of the pirate world is the unpredictable weather, especially in the Great Voyage.

All it takes is a cold snap to destroy an entire rubber tree.

But precisely, the empty island echoes all these conditions!

So it's no surprise that there are so many naturally growing rubber trees here!

This rubber, brought to Qinghai, is almost equivalent to gold!

"You call this a rubber tree?" Silas asked, "We call them poisonous trees." ”

A look of disgust.

Will asked strangely, "Why is it called a poisonous tree?" ”

Silas replied, "Wood is not a good material, and the leaves and seeds are poisonous, and it is not uncommon for village children to be poisoned by eating the leaves of poisonous trees, so to speak, without any output." What is it called if it is not called a poisonous tree? ”

Then he muttered, "It's also very long, no matter how you cut it, you can't cut it all..."

Craig's mouth grew, "Did you say you've been cutting down rubber trees?" What to do with it? ”

Silas took it for granted and said, "Burn it!" It's all waste, waste! Especially around the village, it is dangerous for poisonous trees to grow! ”

Will and the others looked at each other.

The same word popped up in my heart - injustice! Big! Head!

"In other words, the poisonous tree is not worth much in Djerba?"

"It's not just worthless, it's a money-losing product! The village will pay the villagers to destroy it. Poisonous forests like this are all wasteland, and no one will come to inhabit them. ”

At this time, there was only one voice in Will's heart - this time he made a lot of money!

"If I had to hire someone here to collect the sap from the poisonous tree, wouldn't it be cheap?"

Silas looked at Will with an idiot's eye, "Of course! It's an easy job for both women and children. If you can find work for those who can't work, the elders will probably be grateful to you. ”

"You don't look that stupid, though, do you?"

Will scratched his head.

"Huh."

Of course I'm not stupid!

…………

Back at the Hanging Garden, Will couldn't wait to order, "Ask the locals to collect rubber immediately!" As many as you want! ”

Kuro bowed, "On the way back, my subordinates have already ordered to go down." ”

Craig rubbed his fingers, "Boss, you have to fly two more times, we really don't have a bad money!" ”

Zong Yan retorted, "Let the young master personally transport it!" It is still necessary to find a stable route as soon as possible! ”

Will clapped his hands, "No matter what, we must take advantage of this unequal resource to establish sufficient financial resources for the pirates!" ”

The unequal resources are the greatest charm of the Age of Discovery.

In another world, there is a country called the Empire on which the sun never sets, called the United Kingdom. At one point, the country built the largest empire in human history. Relying on the advantages brought by the Age of Discovery.

And before that, the royal family of that country was so poor that they had to borrow money to hire people to go to sea!

The gap between the front and back is unimaginable!

Now, Will has this huge advantage in his hands!

The resources of the Sky Island must be used by him! And it must only be available to him!

Clench your fists hard.

"I'm going to take this island!"

Just then, Raphael suddenly walked in.

"Captain, Sizir is back!"
