Chapter 151. Construction of local fishing grounds
"[Local Fishing Ground]: Marine Fishing Ground, construction cost 800 points. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Introduction: The ocean has food resources that no one wants to ignore, but compared with the convenience and speed of collecting food resources on land, there are certain ways to collect food resources in the ocean, and local fishing grounds are an important way for residents to collect marine food resources."
"The local fishing grounds are built on the basis of seaside villages, and the fishermen of the entire village are concentrated in fishing, and most of the fishermen use small fishing boats to catch fish in the nearby waters, so the catch is very limited, but it still provides fish food for the inland areas. Schools of fish swim with the tides of the ocean, so fishermen always have something to catch. ”
"Functions: 1 Population growth increases by 0.3% per month, 2 District wealth increases by 200 points per month, 3 Recruits are allowed: Light Garry, Heavy Garry, Sloop, Brig."
The projection of the local fishing grounds on the retina has appeared, and Levi is also extremely cautious about his first building, even if he does not consider the growth of population and wealth, then the recruitment options that can be offered, he simply cannot refuse, because in this world dominated by the sea, the navy is the real main force of the army.
The army can only be considered a marine, although the world also has infantry, cavalry, crossbowmen and other land arms, but most of them are only the home defense, if you want to attack other islands, you have to rely on the navy.
Therefore, it is not impossible to call the army of this world the Marine Corps, although the navy and land also have clear commanders, but really speaking, it doesn't matter if there is no army that has always been elite, but there is no navy that has always been elite, but it belongs to handing over the initiative on the battlefield, which makes Levi unacceptable.
Therefore, the local fishing grounds that can provide fish for food in the early stage, increase the population, and increase the size of the navy are the most important things to build, even if there is a grain farm as a building, Levi will choose this local fishing ground to build first.
After all, the land on the east coast of Cape Town is relatively barren, basically sandy land, and the surface soil layer is all sandy loam, even if it can grow grains such as barley and wheat, but the harvest per season is a pitiful number.
In the memories of the old people who originally lived here, and the previous mayor of Cape Town ordered the reclamation of the East Coast, but after the harvest season, they sadly found that in addition to the waves of Kou Tao fish-man attacks, the harvest of the reclaimed farmland was not as cheap as buying grain from Gray Mist City.
At least buying grain in the market of Gray Mist City will not be plundered by the Kou Tao fishmen in the planting process, causing casualties to the farmland and farmers, and the harvest will not be poor because of the sandy land.
In particular, the water thieves of the Yuqiao River still like to plunder down the river from time to time, once the peasants are tied up to extort money as meat tickets, it is also a big blow to the development of Haijiao Town, so the East Coast reclamation plan, which was once popular for a while, eventually disappeared completely with the abandonment of Haijiao Town, leaving only a piece of reclaimed farmland, with weeds to show the loss of the past.
Standing on the edge of the dock, two heavy Galie warships were also docked on the shore and slowly undulating with the waves, and Green, who had been promoted to chief minister, also frowned and looked at the port in front of him, waiting for Levi's arrangement.
"[Local fishing grounds] are also good to build, at least in the early stage, they can bring income and fish."
Touching his chin, Levi clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at the sea in front of him with blue and still rolling waves, his face was also a little helpless, the natural deep-water port was hard to find, he just nodded and said as if comforting himself: "In the future, we can pay more attention to the east coast, maybe we can encounter natural offshore deep water." ”
"A natural deep-water port? I seem to have heard reports from sailors. ”
As the chief minister, Green still needs to think about anything for Levi very seriously, looking at the sea in front of him, he also seems to be sounding something, and quickly took out the small notebook in his arms.
He also seemed to have some impressions of the deep water area before, flipping through the previous records, he also quickly found the various reports that he had heard and recorded in his spare time, and finally found a key point, and couldn't help but raise his head and say to Li Weisu: "We do have a natural deep-water port. ”
"What?"
Li Wei was also slightly stunned, the problem that was still entangled in his heart was solved by his chief minister in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but have a little doubt on his face, turned his head to look at Green and asked, "Are you sure it's a deep-water port?" ”
"That's right, a natural deep-water port, but we didn't expect it."
Nodding slowly, with Green's calm and solemn character, he would never joke at this time period, but instead stretched out his hand and pointed to the south side, which was almost close at hand, looking at the gradually rising mountain, and nodded very seriously and affirmatively: "Haijiao Mountain is a mountain that extends into the sea, and the cliff is a natural deep-water port. ”
After flipping through a few pages of his notebook, Green also nodded: "We just came here last week, and the sailors of a light Galie warship used to be next to the cliff of Cape Mountain, and the depth should be more than ten meters, which is completely in line with the scope of a deep-water port. ”
"The cliffs of Cape Mountain."
Squinting slightly, Levi looked at the Cape Mountain, which suddenly protruded in the gentle terrain of the east coast, and the cliffs near the sea were also four or five meters high, similar to a right triangle, the area near the sea was the highest point of the triangle, and the direction of the mountain towards the inland was a rugged and gentle slope.
It should be the blowing of the sea breeze, and the perennial weathering will blow the Cape Mountain like this, and you can guess from the cliffs that there is no green by the sea windward, and it is estimated that it will take tens of thousands of years to weathered into this triangular shape.
"Let's take a look."
Levi walked directly towards the Cape Mountain, which was not far from the Cape Town, and according to the observations of the sailors, there were traces of a simple lighthouse on the top of the mountain, but it had already been abandoned for nearly ten years.
At the foot of the mountain, there used to be traces of fishing grounds, and now you can see the wreckage of fishing boats that are still half decayed, hidden in a clump of weeds, and even the stone roads and pavilions built for leisure and entertainment at the foot of the mountain, of course, most of them are in ruins, and they have not been maintained for so many years, and they cannot be preserved at all.
Walking towards Haijiao Mountain, the road used to be faintly recognizable, but now it is all blocked by weeds, and there are many mosquitoes and small animals running quickly in the weeds as they walk.
The distance of more than a kilometer is not too far, walking through a shallow depression bay about four or five hundred meters, a collapsed building is also located here, along the edge of the shallow depression bay are thatched houses or simple wooden stilt buildings, it seems that many people should have lived here.
"This used to be a fishing ground, and it was supposed to be an area used by fishermen in Cape Town."
First Officer Green walked in front, and at the same time looked at the environment in front of him based on his own experience, especially sweeping through the ruins of the collapsed buildings, and also estimated: "We can completely rebuild the fishing ground here, even if the heavy warships can't dock too much, but the light warships can also ensure the number of more than a dozen docks." ”
Levi also nodded in agreement, the color of the sea surface is slightly deep in the sun, which means that the water depth is at least ten meters, and in this world and the era of modern sail wooden ships, there are really not many merchant ships and warships that can have a draft of more than ten meters.
You must know that on the earth, the draft of the US "Enterprise" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only about 12 meters, and even the draft of a huge oil tanker is only about 22 meters, which is almost the top configuration of human navigation technology on the earth, not to mention the current era of sail warships.
With a length of 55 meters and a displacement of 2,000 tons, the Galen sailing ship has a draft of only eight or nine meters when fully loaded with cargo, which is already the largest sail merchant ship in the modern era of discovery, and even some battleships do not have its draft.
Therefore, the shallow depression bay at the foot of this mountain can also be used to build a [local fishing ground], and even when the storm comes, it also saves the trouble of going to the deep sea area to escape the storm, and can directly enter the fishing ground breakwater of Cape Mountain and Shallow Depression Bay, preventing itself from being torn and shaken by the continuous waves in the offshore area, and the danger of sinking on the reef.
"If the fishing ground is built at the foot of the mountain, then a shore defense battery can also be built on the top of the mountain."
First Officer Green looked up at the Cape Mountain next to him, which was rising directly gently, and the lush shrubs and groves were also extremely lush, which made his face a little more solemn, and he turned his head and suggested to Levi: "Mastering the top of Cape Mountain is equivalent to mastering the coastline of Cape Town, and mastering this sea area." ”
This is undoubtedly a strategic suggestion, and Li Wei also nodded in agreement, because he looked at the cape mountain at a height of more than thirty meters, turned his head and looked at the stone road that was faintly visible not far away, nodded and said, "Let's go up and have a look." ”
Most of the east coast outside Haijiao Town is mudflats or coastal cliffs, such as Haijiao Mountain, which has the significance of the commanding height, there are really not many peaks, even if it is more than 30 meters high, build a watchtower with a height of more than ten meters, with a large telescope, you can clearly see how many ships appear on the coastline thousands of meters away, which is absolutely of strategic significance!
