Chapter 38 The Crocodile Spawning Ground
Seeing the expeditionary force's fleet leave, Zhang Sheng sighed in his heart, the expeditionary force is really good at playing.
Ren Changsheng gave him a map when he left, which he had drawn in the past when he ran a business in the Canglin Mountains, which was not as good as a military map, but it was also fine. Most importantly, the map shows the areas where the rebels often land.
Before the player lord appeared, the merchants in Zhenyuan City were all rebels! Now that there is a lord who has the strength to wipe out the rebels, it is understandable to sell some of them to maximize the profits.
It's just that how to harvest the rebels in the Canglin Mountains is a matter of knowledge. First of all, there is the problem of distance, Qin Liangyu will lead a large group of men and horses to attack, and the time consumed is difficult to determine, and the territorial defense is bound to be empty. Moreover, once the news of his suppression of the rebels leaked out, the rebels would either join forces to counterattack or simply leave the Canglin Mountains.
He still remembered that Lu Qing was not mixed in the Canglin Mountain Range in the first place!
Jiaolong Lake is really big!
Looking at Jiaolong Lake, which was only partially outlined on the map, Zhang Sheng was even more determined to form a naval army and completely occupy Jiaolong Lake.
Let's go!
With the building boat, there is no need to bother, go directly to the small island in the lake, and the crocodile will not be able to threaten the building boat at all. In order to navigate safely in rivers, lakes and seas, the ship must be fully defence-etched.
The crescent-shaped island is more than 10 kilometers away from the tips of the two points, and you can see many crocodiles crawling back and forth from afar. Fengqing led the team to clean up first, and then Zhang Sheng took Kanyu's family ashore.
"My lord, there are crocodiles spawning on the island, and I will explore the surroundings just now, there are crocodile eggs buried in many places." Fengqing reported for the first time.
Crocodile eggs?
This island is a spawning ground for crocodiles!
"Old Xue, can you raise crocodiles?" Zhang Sheng immediately turned his head to look at Xue Zhong.
The veteran Xue Zhong is the strongest tool man in the territory, he can train soldiers, raise beasts, and from time to time accept patrols, exploration, and bait tasks, a typical model worker.
If crocodiles can be farmed on a large scale and form an industry, it will be much more reliable than hunting. It just so happened that he ordered a set of leather armor design drawings from Ren Changsheng as the core equipment of the current army.
"The crocodile is too ferocious, this ......" Xue Zhong was in a cold sweat, his "domestication" skill was only level eight, not yet a master, it was okay to raise black pack beasts, war horses, cattle and sheep, etc., he really didn't think about crocodiles.
"Try it, it's okay to fail." Zhang Sheng feels that there is still a good chance, and it is not directly domesticated to adult crocodiles, this is starting with cubs. Don't try to domesticate them like black beasts, as long as they don't attack indiscriminately, there is no shortage of food in such a large lake, and there are more and more wild birds raised in the territory, and a batch can be transferred to feed them when the time comes.
"Okay." Xue Zhong reluctantly agreed.
"Then take this island and try to artificially hatch it more often, and it won't be too difficult to control the temperature and humidity."
There is no science, but there is metaphysics! With Xue Zhong's strength and professional ability, it will not be too difficult to control the temperature and humidity, and when Lu Chenan completes his studies and assists in etching, the hatching rate will reach 100%, but at least 80%.
Directly occupy the island, and then it will inevitably make the crocodile give up this spawning ground, but the impact is not great, the huge Jiaolong Lake is definitely more than this spawning ground, and the crocodile eggs on the island will be used as experiments. The natural hatching rate of crocodile eggs is not high, only about 50%, as long as the artificial incubation can be successfully experimented, we can try to regulate the proportion of crocodiles and wild crocodiles in the entire Jiaolong Lake, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating the ecology of the entire Jiaolong Village.
After that, Fengqing transported supplies to build a temporary camp on Crescent Island, and a group of resident soldiers will be left on the island, just in line with the training of the navy, and the three building ships will expand the exploration of Jiaolong Lake, and the other side of the lake will also take the Kanyu family to explore. If you fail to receive the rare resource points of the rebels, it will be difficult to trade with the expeditionary force in the future, so you have to find a way to open source.
But Zhang Sheng doesn't need to worry about this, he has already returned to the village first, and he still has a lot of things to deal with. Looking for high-quality tea trees, planning tea gardens, cuttings of mulberry seedlings also need to be improved as much as possible, it is best to find spiritual seeds, the final quality of silk is not only to see silkworm seeds, but also to look at mulberry leaves, the quality of silk determines the upper limit of the final silk fabric.
Then there is the medicine field, the collection of medicinal seeds has never stopped, the army, the demand for wound medicine is great, the same is true for the treatment of epidemics, the quality of medicinal herbs, reserves need to keep up.
……
The eastern part of the Great Liang Country, Monsoon City.
Jingwei Studio successfully bought a sea vessel, which caused a lot of sensation, although this is a defective product eliminated by the Chamber of Commerce, but it can also go to sea to run the business, provided that you follow the caravan, otherwise eighty percent will not be able to reach the destination.
The sea is dangerous!
Wang Luffy stood at the bow of the boat in high spirits, as the boss of the studio, this is the place where his dream set sail. The Jingwei studio is not large, and the logistics staff is less than five hundred, so it is impossible to spread out as comprehensively as the Grand Guild, so it can only gather as many people as possible to Monsoon City.
"Boss, this ship is too broken, it won't sink out of the port, right?" The younger brother who was in charge of the preparation of the goods loaded the supplies into the ship and ran over.
"You know a fart, it's just looking broken, in fact, the overall psionic engraving is intact, otherwise, we can buy a merchant ship with a little money?" Wang Luffy said proudly.
This is the same as a retired warship, as long as you have a strong enough relationship, you can buy a brand new retired warship at a low price! His relationship is not strong enough, so he can only buy old merchant ships, or goods that have been "beautified" in appearance.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you don't capsize and can follow the Chamber of Commerce to run business, the development fund will soon be multiplied several times.
The map of "Journey to the Empire" is huge, except for the restricted military teleportation array, the normal travel between the two places can only be a horse and a boat, and there are more high-end flying mounts and airships, but this does not change the difficulty of material transfer. The farther the distance, the greater the difference in the price of the specialty products between the two places, and this is an opportunity for merchants.
Sea freight is faster and more convenient than land transportation, but it is also more dangerous, and in addition to the ferocious sea beasts, there are also a large number of pirates. Like him, who only has one ship, he can only be anchored in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and only by acting with the Chamber of Commerce can he survive, although he will be taken every time he goes back and forth, but at least he will make a profit, and the danger is low.
The ship was actually obtained by him through a mission, or rather a thigh, and the little gold he paid was only enough to buy a sail at most.
He was already a peripheral member of the Poseidon Cult before the Nine Kingdoms issued the decree to eliminate the cult, and now he has finally turned into a regular and has obtained this old merchant ship, which has the starting point of his ambition to conquer the sea.
As for reporting?
Can reporting be more beneficial than getting it now? Even if he wants to report it, at least he will have to wait until he can stand on his own at sea.
Hearing the instructions from the Chamber of Commerce in front of him through the horn, Wang Luffy waved his hand: "Sail!" Set sail! ”
