"Comes with a special effect of system upgrades: +20% accuracy for tunnel guns and +10% accuracy for guns."

As Chopin's mind moved, a more detailed panel that had been reimagined by the system upgrade appeared in front of him.

By this time, the population of the city had exceeded 9,000 by the inhabitants and soldiers gathered in the city, and this was not counting the newly captured sailors of more than 1,000 sailors and the original hundreds of pirates.

The reason why Chopin did not exterminate those sailors was naturally to replenish the manpower, after all, the relevant construction on the island, with the addition of more than 1,000 "tireless" sailors, would naturally become twice the result with half the effort.

However, in this way, there are such a bunch of people in Pingkong, and food has naturally become an unavoidable problem.

It is for this reason that for the current Paris, systematic farm construction is also imperative.

No matter how fertile the land on the drifting island is, it can't compare to the blessing of the system's power after all, and the crops under the shroud of the system's energy are undoubtedly unreasonably amazing.

Having made up his mind, accompanied by hundreds of cavalry guards, Chopin decided to make a field trip.

The advantages of the newly built roads were on full display at this time, and although they were not as smooth as those of later generations, they had replaced the original dirt roads.

After riding the majestic French war horse under him, after coming out of the city of Paris, it took less than a quarter of an hour for Chopin and his party to reach their destination.

Compared to the deforested areas outside Paris, the soil is undoubtedly much more barren.

However, this area is empty enough that it would be a good place for further upgrades and expansions of the farm.

Chopin's eyes turned, and then he made a secret decision in his mind.

As his mind moved, the power of the mystical also descended again, accompanied by the phantom shadows of the three-dimensional buildings in Chopin's mind, and the surrounding environment, like a constantly playing slide, kept switching page by page, appearing real and illusory.

As Chopin's consciousness locked on this area, the light curtain that had appeared in his mind like a 3D projection instantly shattered, and began to turn into a luster that fluctuated like water, rippling like golden ripples, and then slowly gathered together, turning into a pillar of light that penetrated through his mind.

And as the power of the great shore surged like a tide, his spiritual vision also changed rapidly, and the whole person was like a god from above, observing everything below from a god-like perspective.

Before he could react to what was going on, the ripples that rippled like a golden river expanded and rose rapidly, and then the original empty area underwent amazing changes at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

As for the soft mud that Chopin had stepped on before, it was completely hidden by the neatly paved bricks and stones in the ripples that rippled and spread like water.

At the same time, more than a dozen neat houses are also arranged in an orderly manner.

Along with this farm, which has been created out of nothing, is the surrounding barren land, and under the continuous spread of golden light, the whole land is also undergoing amazing changes.

The soft light flooded the earth like a splash of water, and then continued to soak in it.

And when all the light receded, a fertile land covering an area of five hundred acres appeared all around.

Moreover, this land covered by the rules of the system is somewhat different from the fertile part of the people's broad sense, and the yield of any grain planted on this land will greatly exceed the imagination of the indigenous people of this world.

Moreover, when Chopin upgrades the farm again in the future, it is estimated that the area of fertile land blessed by the rules of the system will be further expanded, and at that time, even if the number of people in the city of Paris is doubled, self-sufficiency will definitely be enough.

As for the present, there is still a lot of food accumulation in the city of Paris, and a large number of marine fish can be caught from the sea, so the current situation is not so embarrassing.

And as the buildings in the farm continue to emerge, a farmer has also walked out of the illusory time and space.

"Bless you, Great Majesty the King."

Hundreds of peasants, led by the seemingly farmer, walked over quickly, and then one by one, with a look of sincere joy on their faces, bowed respectfully and saluted.

Chopin was not surprised at all by this fixed line that seemed to be an NPC appearance, but nodded with a smile.

Under the leadership of the other party, Chopin and his party also walked towards the farm with steady steps, but compared to the calmness of the Guards cavalry, the peasants who followed closely were somewhat unnatural.

It was an unimaginable honor for these peasants who were just commoners to be able to see His Majesty so closely, but although His Majesty seemed to be approachable, the expressionless and sculptural cavalry behind him put a lot of pressure on them.

"The more than ten rooms on the right are temporary processing and storage warehouses, the more than ten rooms on the left are the areas where everyone rests, and the slightly larger room in the middle is the office space."

As everyone moved forward, the farmer also did his best to introduce.

"Very well, I'll leave it to you next, and if you don't need anyone to help you when sowing and harvesting, come to me at the Archon's residence."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the words of the consul's residence, the owner's face suddenly lit up, and then he agreed with great joy.

As the owner of this farm, his status seems to be much higher than that of the peasants, but in fact, he is only a commoner, and it is naturally a great honor for him to enter such a magnificent building as the Consul's Residence, which represents the authority of His Majesty.

And more importantly, he has been recognized and appreciated by His Majesty the King, so his future naturally becomes uncertain.

"Plus, I'll have a long spearman stationed here for a long time."

Chopin paused, then spoke again.

How could Chopin rest assured that such an important strategic location as the grain base would be left unattended, he had already made up his mind in his heart that in the future, the patrol soldiers in the sea area corresponding to this direction would be arranged several times the number in the past, and the number of troops stationed in this area would increase in the future.

Chopin breathed a sigh of relief when the farm was completed, and in the next few days, the city of Paris and the entire Drifting Island began to be built vigorously since his return, but the real coolies were the pirate slaves who had been captured early in the morning and the newly captured sailors.

For them, the days of suffering have once again begun.

Of course, compared to the pirates, who were completely numb and only toiled mechanically every day, the newly captured sailors were naturally much more restless, and they were naturally unwilling to accept such an astonishing amount of labor.

A few sailors even tried to escape, but under the strict guard of the Imperial soldiers, they naturally could not succeed and buried their lives in vain.

And in the end, under the double threat of death and starvation, these sailors had to give in, no matter how unwilling they were, but they had to give in, of course, in the dark, all kinds of tricks and schemes were still playing, and these newly captured sailors were naturally unwilling to live such a life, but under the close guard of the soldiers of the French Empire, where did they have any chance.

Chopin naturally didn't have the heart to manage these guys, and he was discussing the management of the navy with Tver at this time.

With the addition of more and more naval warships, the original fishing port is naturally impossible to completely park, especially among them, there are sail giants such as the Galen sailboat, so it is imperative to build a naval academy.

"Level 1 Naval Academy allows the construction of dockyards, Level 2 Naval Academy.

Currently available for research to unlock:

1. -5% reload time for flintlock gunners, increasing national prestige

2. Wood drying: -10% maintenance cost for all ships, +5% construction cost to increase national prestige

3. Sextant: +5% of the movement distance of ships in the strategic interface, increasing the prestige of the country. ”

Just do it, Chopin directly consumed 1,000 points of energy to build the Naval Academy, and as for the construction of the dock next, it was naturally handed over to Twill.

The construction of the Naval Academy, in addition to bringing out a series of technologies that can be unlocked, also means that Chopin can begin to officially train a series of naval soldiers and generals.

It's just a first-level naval academy, which is obviously a bit reluctant for the French Empire, which aims to conquer the endless sea.

Although the technology of this world is extremely backward, it has all kinds of mysterious powers, and even if they control the incredible firepower of the enemy, they cannot be careless.

Therefore, after just some hesitation, Chopin immediately consumed 5,000 points of energy to upgrade the Naval Academy to level 2.

"Level 2 Naval Academy can build a dry dock, and all ships have a -5% construction cost, increasing the prestige of the country

Currently available for study:

1. Improved Grapeshell: Increase the lethality of grapeshells of naval guns. (Shotgun needs to be researched first)

2. Longitude Table: +10% of the ship's travel distance under the strategic interface, increasing the country's prestige

3. The reform of naval management allows the construction of a 3-level naval academy to enhance the prestige of the country

4. Large-caliber short guns: Allow the construction of large-caliber short gun frigates to enhance the prestige of the country

5. Copper Bottom: +5% for all ship construction costs, +5% for movement distance in the strategic interface, +10% for movement speed in the tactical interface

6. Orange pickles: Allow the construction of a naval hospital, and the maintenance cost of all ships is -5%, increasing the prestige of the country. ”

Chopin only had a thought, and as the line of space in the retina representing the stored energy suddenly decreased, the majestic light like the creator god suddenly emerged, and the whole heaven and earth, even the blazing sun in the sky, seemed to dim in the face of this incomparably pure light.

And when the swirling golden light slowly dissipated, the solemn Naval Academy also appeared with a new look.

However, Chopin's attention at this time was not on that, but more on the relevant briefs and data about grapes.

In order to facilitate loading, several spherical iron marbles or lead marbles are placed in a cartridge case during the war, or they are fixed together, and they are fixed together, because they are fixed with iron plates and the like, and there is no shell wrapping outside, and it looks like a large bunch of grapes, so it is called grape bullets.

Although the range of grape bullets is not as good as that of solid bullets, a single shot fired at close range can instantly knock out dozens of enemy soldiers, which is enough to break up an infantry squadron. In naval battles, it can even knock down large swaths of enemy officers and sailors, achieving the goal of paralyzing enemy ships.

And when striking the enemy's living forces, one gun can be used to play the role of several guns. When fired, the stone projectile breaks through the shackles of the projectile body and scatters in all directions under the impact of gunpowder, which can effectively expand the impact surface of the stone projectile.

The power of the improved grape bullet will be increased again, and such a naval weapon, Chopin will naturally be the first to send a few gentlemen in Paris to study.
