Since learning about the situation in the south of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Ren has become more and more urgent, and has invested a lot of resources to speed up the construction of Shiyuan Island, striving to build a qualified base as soon as possible.

After paying regardless of the cost, the island was finally built within a month, not only with a large number of buildings, military camps, school fields and so on.

"Lord, do you want to go to Origin Island to have a look?"

Zhao Yun stood behind Xia Ren, looked at the supplies that were constantly being transported to the ship, and spoke.

Xia Ren pondered for a moment, "Go ahead, after all, it will be the most important place for us in the future, and we still have to go over and take a look." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and then followed Xia Ren to the boat.

This is just some cargo ships converted from ordinary warships, the cargo ships transformed from the Sea King warships are still staying on Weihai Island, and it is not suitable to enter the port of Haiyuan City, Xia Ren needs to go to Weihai Island first, and then change to the Sea King cargo ship to enter the deep sea.

The speed of ordinary cargo ships is relatively slow, and it is full of goods, it took three days for Xia Ren and Zhao Yun to arrive at Weihai Island, and now Weihai Island has gradually become a transit station, and the travel between Haiyuan City and Shiyuan Island needs to pass through here.

The two of them boarded the Sea King cargo ship loaded with cargo from the port and headed for Origin Island.

After traveling for less than half a day, the Sea King cargo ship arrived at the junction of the deep sea and the shallow sea.

Xia Ren saw a very strange phenomenon at the junction, often the shallow sea is calm, but the deep sea not far away is often ****, and the waves are monstrous, forming two distinct worlds.

At this time, a general on the ship ran over, "Your Highness, it is raining in the deep sea at this time, and I will enter the deep sea later, and please enter the cabin to take shelter from the rain." ”

Xia Ren waved his hand and said, "It's okay, a little rain can't get this king." ”

The general clenched his fists and didn't say much.

After a while, the cargo ship entered the deep sea area, and suddenly the surrounding weather suddenly changed from sunny to ****.

The wind whined on the sea, setting off layers of huge waves, the waves crashed on the cargo ship, but the cargo ship rippled slightly around the body, and absorbed the impact of the waves, without causing any loss to the cargo ship.

Moreover, as soon as the surrounding wind touches the perimeter of the cargo ship, it will be absorbed by the formation and converted into the power of the cargo ship, which greatly accelerates the speed of the cargo ship.

At this time, there was still lightning and thunder in the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans were falling, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and waved it, and raised a True Yuan shield beside the two of them, blocking the rain and sea water.

"This deep-sea weather really lives up to its name, although we are unlucky, as soon as we come in, we encounter such a big wind and wave, but this kind of wind and wave is still the most common wind and wave in the deep sea, basically every hour has to be staged, ordinary ships here can not hold on at all. ”

Zhao Yun also sighed, "Indeed, if you hadn't come in person, you wouldn't have known that the deep sea was so dangerous, and I wouldn't have known why this world divided the East China Sea into two different sides." ”

Xia Ren shook his head and smiled: "We don't care why there is such a big gap between this deep sea and the shallow sea, but this very dangerous deep sea is indeed suitable for our development, as long as we take protective measures, basically no one can threaten us." ”

After about two hours, it disappeared, and the weather returned to a sunny scene, but looking closely into the distance, there are still **** raging in some places.

This kind of natural disaster, there is no law to follow, no one knows what the weather will become in the next moment in their place, an hour is just an approximation, if someone really thinks that an hour is a safe period, then he may die a miserable death.

Just like Xia Ren, the **** had just disappeared for about half an hour, and the weather suddenly changed unpredictably, the downpour suddenly fell, the wind rose suddenly, and it began to wreak havoc on the sea again.

In this unpredictable weather, the cargo ship traveled for about three and a half days, and Xia Ren finally saw a large island.

Roughly speaking, this island has a radius of about 100 miles, and there are few lofty mountains, most of them are plains, but the horizon is still quite high, and it is estimated that it is more than ten meters from the sea level.

The cargo ship sailed into a port, and this port is also a natural port, because the weather in the deep sea is bad, and the port is difficult to build, so when Xia Ren asked Zhou Tai to find a base, he had a requirement that there must be a natural port.

This port is not small, it is much larger than the port of Weihai Island, and at this time there are many ships parked in the port, all of which are Sea King warships or converted cargo ships.

Many people were unloading their cargo at the port at this time, transporting the cargo from those ships back to the island.

As soon as Xia Ren's cargo ship arrived, he saw several people come up to communicate with the person in charge of the cargo ship, and then began to call the people from the port to get on the ship and unload the cargo.

After the person in charge of this cargo ship arranged for someone to unload the cargo, he came to Xia Ren's side and said respectfully: "Your Highness, we have arrived at Origin Island, General Zhou is now in the barracks, please move Your Highness." ”

Xia Ren nodded, followed the person in charge to get off the boat, mounted his mount, and hurried towards the center of the island.

On the way, looking at the weather on this island, Xia Ren was a little puzzled, "Why is the weather on this island different from the sea?"

The leading general said respectfully: "Your Highness is wise, after our investigation, we found that although the weather on the island is not good, it is much better than on the sea, and there will only be some strong winds and heavy rain occasionally, which has no impact on our lives at all, as if the weather on the sea and the weather on the island are two extremes." ”

After listening, Xia Ren nodded.

With this result, Xia Ren is still very satisfied, if the weather on the island is as bad as the weather at sea, then the cost of building a base will increase significantly, and it is not suitable for regular training.

Now this difference in weather has given Xia Ren a surprise, although he doesn't know why the weather on the sea is different from the weather on the island, but Xia Ren doesn't want to know the reason, as long as he is more advantageous, his main goal now is to expand his strength, and he doesn't have the heart to think about the rest.

Several people rode their mounts, and the more they went to the center of the island, the better the weather became, and even after a certain distance, the weather was basically no different from that of a shallow island, which made Xia Ren even more surprised.

After a while, several people arrived at the barracks.

At this time, the barracks were only partially built, and they could only be used by the Wei Navy, and Gao Shun's army could not live there, so the current barracks had been expanding, and I believe that it would not be long before Gao Shun could come over and train together.

Entering the barracks, Xia Ren found that each building was built very neatly, standing in rows and columns. In the center of all the buildings is a huge square, where Zhou Tai's military training usually takes place

Xia Ren came to the square, and sure enough, he found that Zhou Tai was standing on the front platform, constantly inspecting the battle formation that the Wei Navy below was drilling.

Zhou Tai, who was scanning the Wei Navy and constantly rehearsing the battle formation, felt that someone was walking in the distance, looked up, and found that it was Xia Ren and others, and immediately greeted him.

"I don't know that the Lord is coming, and I will miss the end of the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness. ”

Xia Ren said with a smile: "General Zhou doesn't need to be polite, this king heard that the base of Origin Island can already be used, so this king can't wait to come and see what our base is like." ”

said, and said: "This king looked all the way down, and he was very satisfied with this origin island, and General Zhou's vision was really powerful, and he chose such a suitable island." ”

Zhou Tai hugged his fists and said: "The lord has won the prize, and the last general only chose such an island according to your requirements." ”

Xia Ren smiled, "General Zhou, tell me about this island." ”

Zhou Tai nodded and said: "This island is about a hundred miles in radius, and most of them are plains and forests, there are relatively few mountains, which are suitable for growing some food and elixirs, and the rest of the resources are relatively scarce, on the whole, this island is quite suitable for living." ”

"Are there any islands around that have found more resources?"

Zhou Tai's solemn face suddenly showed a hint of a smile: "The last general has discovered several resource islands, and there are many mineral veins on the islands, and after we have our own forging master, we can forge weapons by ourselves." ”

After speaking, he smiled again: "The last general also found a spirit stone mine, and there are a lot of spirit stones, which belong to medium-sized ore veins, and the value of this spirit stone vein has far exceeded all the receipts in our Qingling Sea area." ”

"Oh?"

Xia Ren was immediately pleasantly surprised, you must know that the spirit stone veins are generally only owned by those top sects, not to mention that they are still medium-sized, which can allow Xia Ren to mine for a long time, and he can get a large number of spirit stones.

Moreover, Xia Ren also brought Qingling Rice, and spiritual stones are also needed to plant Qingling Rice, and now the appearance of Lingshi Mine has greatly alleviated the shortage of spiritual stones in Xia Ren.
