"Huh this?" Lu Cheng pretended to groan, he had to think about how to keep Mike, although Mike was only an intermediate-level adventurer, his martial arts skills were indeed very strong, a little stronger than the three high-level adventurers. Lu Cheng has learned that the rating of adventurers is not calculated according to the professional level, but according to the points accumulated by completing the task, that is to say, even if there is a master-level martial art, you have to start from a junior adventurer, and in terms of martial arts alone, Mike is fully qualified to be a high-level adventurer, which is why Mike participates in every territory meeting.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will come back to work for you as soon as I finish my studies." As if seeing Lu Cheng's concern, Mike hurriedly explained, "Moreover, I will also find a way to abduct those younger brothers and sisters of mine... Forehead... Bring it to your territory. ”

You definitely used the word "crutches" just now, right?!

The stone in his heart was put down, and Lu Cheng was also relieved, and said: "I'm not worried about this, the sea is far away, I think the 100-ton offshore transport ship is too small and not safe enough, otherwise, you can set off when I can build a higher-level ship, and the ship is leased to you by me." ”

"Lord Xie, then according to your meaning, I was too anxious just now, I'm sorry." Mike said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, you go back and rest first."

A few hours later.

"Ding~ Dear player, the 100-ton offshore transport ship you produced has been completed and launched."

Lu Cheng and Qiao Na, Hasqi and others stood on the dock and quietly watched the launch of the first sea ship in the territory, and sighed with special emotion in their hearts, the most accomplished thing about entering the game for so long was that he had built the first sailboat of his own, the ship was not big, from the perspective of modern people, ships below 200 meters belonged to small fights, after all, there were already giant transport ships up to 3 kilometers long on the earth, with a carrying capacity of 10 million tons, not to mention ships in space, For example, the colony ship Hope is 10 kilometers long.

But after all, this ship was built step by step, and with the completion of the first one, more bigger and stronger ships will be built in the future, this is a starting point, a milestone starting point, Lu Cheng believes that with his ability as a scientist, he can lead the development of the territory to a higher level.

"My lord, the ship has been launched, would you like to go on board and inspect it?" Haschi asked cautiously.

"Okay, let's get on the boat and see." Lu Cheng waved his hand happily and led everyone to the boat from the gangway.

The boat is not large, only 20 meters long, only one sail, and the wooden planks on the deck are relatively thick, and the sound of stepping on it is relatively soft, and there is no strange creaking sound. There was no bow and tail building on the deck, and the rudder was arranged on a high platform at the rear, so the captain could only sail in the rain when it rained, and the conditions were still relatively difficult. The bottom compartment is equipped with 4 horizontal main compartments, made of wooden planks as waterproof partitions, if a compartment is flooded, as long as the adjacent hatch is closed, a large amount of seawater can be effectively controlled. There are also several smaller compartments within the large compartments, such as the ship's crew lounge, galley, food storage, fresh water storage and sanitary facilities.

After carefully visiting the front and back, Hasch also patiently explained the structure of the sailboat and the purpose of the equipment to the others in the same group, and everyone had a further understanding of the ship.

"Your Excellency, ladies and gentlemen, although this ship was built according to the public drawings, under the high standards of the lord and the large amount of money invested, the ship is more than twice as strong in terms of structural strength, speed and survivability as the non-modified one, and the load capacity of the ship has been greatly improved, and I calculated that the load capacity of this ship can reach up to 60 tons without encountering large wind and waves." Haschi introduced.

The standard configuration of the offshore transport ship is 5 crew members, including 1 captain, 3 sailors, and 1 to do service work, which can be trained through the seafarer academy, the number of citizens in Lu Cheng's territory has been soaring, and it has now exceeded 3000 people, and the ocean will become the most important area in the game, so Lu Cheng has also invested a large cost to train more than 100 seafarers.

Captains are the most difficult to train, because the academic level of the instructors and territories is not enough, and at the moment it is possible to train up to a captain with elementary skills and can control ships up to 500 tons, intermediate captains can control ships of 1000 tons, and senior captains can control ships of 2000 tons. The cost of junior captain training is 5 gold per person, and the current training cycle is 2 game days, and it does not mean that the training can be successful as long as you pay, but also depends on whether the trained citizens have this talent, so only 3 of the 10 citizens trained by Lu Cheng in the same batch have successfully become junior captains, and the per capita cost has reached 17 gold.

Ordinary sailors are relatively simple, each training costs 1 gold coin, and the success rate is also quite high, Lu Cheng trained 100 sailors in one go.

"The ship is complete, Mike, Gru, Selina and the personnel who participated in the assault operation are conducting acclimatization training with the crew today, and they can set off after the training is complete!" Lu Cheng is very confident in the defense ability of the territory, the number of militia has been steadily increasing, and the power of fire oil has also been tested in actual combat, Lu Cheng is not a person who likes passive defense, and it is more in line with his habit to take the initiative to attack.

"Yes, my lord!"

Not long after, the second offshore transport ship built by the Southern Shipyard was also successfully launched, and the planned personnel of the attack on the bandit camp could be loaded with one ship, considering the logistics and just in case, Lu Cheng decided to send the second ship as well, but it would have to circle the peninsula half a circle to join the No. 1 ship.

A few hours later, a team of 50 adventurers and 50 militiamen, led by Mike, Gru and Selina, set sail, and Boat No. 2 also departed from the southern pier in the direction of the peninsula, ready to join Boat No. 1.

"My lord, there is a message from the docks that 2 ships are heading for our docks." Lu Cheng, who was inspecting the fortifications on the city wall, received a message from the dock.

"Sea vessels?"

"Yes, my lord, they are two relatively large ships, and they look at least 60 meters long!" Said the messenger militia.

"Let's go, let's see, maybe it's a new citizen." Lu Cheng thought about it, it should be the two people who were recruited through the limited-time invitation.

When Lu Cheng walked to the wharf, 2 big ships had been docked on both sides of the wharf, there was only one wharf now, and the length was only a few tens of meters, as soon as the 2 ships docked like this, the entire wharf was crowded, it was necessary to build a few more wharves, and the scale should be larger.

"So, you're the lord here?" Just when Lu Cheng was looking at the two big ships, a young girl walked down from the boat on the left, wearing a pink and purple short shawl coat, which set off her excellent figure, a bright yellow knee-length skirt, a pair of black boots, and a bunch of black hair. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate.

"Exactly, may I ask who you are?" It's not that Lu Cheng hasn't seen beautiful women, there are already a lot of beauties introduced to him by Ekdaru, and there are countless beauties in reading, but compared with the one in front of him, there is still a little gap.

"Miss Ben's name is Lia, and she was invited to meet the lord." The young lady named Lia made a standard lady's salute.

"Yo~ There's a lady here!"

Just as Lu Cheng was talking to Liya, a young woman also walked down from the boat on the right, her long burgundy hair was slightly curled and draped down, looking a little tired and rebellious. The expression on his face was as cold as ice, his brown eyes covered by long eyelashes shimmered with a light that was thousands of miles away, and he wore a short black skirt with a pair of black high boots.

"Miss, may I ask your name?" Lu Cheng asked.

"You can call me Red Flame." After the high boots stepped on the dock, the woman named Chiyan shook her hair, "You seem to be developing well here, but Miss Ben is ugly in the front, if I feel unhappy, I will leave here at any time, and I hope you don't stop me at that time, although you can't stop me." ”

Belch......

The citizen who was invited by himself came to get off the horse, Lu Cheng didn't react for a while, he had never seen such a citizen with such a personality, so this was really invited by himself?

"Ah forget it, it's too early to say this, I'm sleepy, I have to find a place to rest for a while, and I'll come back to you when I'm rested." Chi Yan yawned, and walked past him quickly without waiting for Lu Cheng to speak.

"Ah, by the way, remember to have someone bring me food, for five." A word floated from afar.

"Hee-hee, this sister is so interesting." Leah chuckled.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, welcome Leah and... Red Flame comes to the territory. Lu Cheng is a little embarrassed, according to the intelligence level of the characters, Liya and Chiyan must be high-level citizens, but this level of intelligence has caused trouble to people, okay, are you sure that this can make the player hold it?

"Miss Liya, I don't know what you're good at?" took Liya around the territory, and after introducing her, Lu Cheng asked, he wanted to check Liya's attributes directly, but the system prompted that Liya's loyalty was not enough to check it.

"Well—" Leah poked her finger into her lips.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, a crimson fireball appeared on Leah's right hand: "As you can see, I'm a magician!" ”

it... Enchanter!

Looking at the hot fireball in Liya's hand, Lu Cheng was stunned, and asked weakly, "What, don't you feel that your hands are burning in a panic?" ”

"Huh?" Liya didn't expect Lu Cheng to ask this, "I'm a magician, I have magic protection on my hands when I cast magic, so it's not hot." ”

"I see, how powerful is the fireball?" Lu Cheng asked.

Whoosh~Boom!

Leah directly demonstrated the power, but at the cost...

"Ding~ 5 mid-level thatched huts in your 'Sword Bearer' village have been destroyed."

"Damn, I'm just asking you how powerful you are, do you need to blow up my 5 houses directly, hey!" Lu Cheng's head is big, covering his forehead, these are all 2 trouble-level characters.
