285 Construction
The fourth day of the return from Egypt to London. Liang and Isabella said goodbye to all the preparations they had prepared, and returned to the ancient world with the items they had prepared.
However, when he returned to the ancient world, he did not return to his island, but adjusted the direction of the ship and drove towards the land not far away—
Previously, when he was on the other side of the ancient world, Liang would return to the ancient world every night and sail the ship in the direction of the American continent.
So when he returned to the ancient world with his things, his position had successfully appeared on the west coast of the North American continent, and the specific location was equivalent to the location of the Hecate Strait in the modern world.
The area is bordered by the Prince Charlotte Islands to the west and the coastline of the North American continent to the east, surrounded by a series of small islands, where Liang appeared to establish his first settlement.
Since Liang was probably the first to come to the New World from the Old World, it was not easy to find a place to explore, so after thinking about it, he decided to simply follow the settlements of the modern world to determine where his settlement would eventually settle.
After all, the terrain and natural resources of the two worlds seem to be very close, so the location of the city that can eventually develop in the other world must have been carefully considered.
For Liang En, instead of wasting time and effort to survey and design by himself, it is better to simply copy the content of the settlement in another world, complete the preliminary work and enter the development activities as quickly as possible.
For example, Liang is now targeting Cairn Island, which is the famous Prince Rupert Port in the modern world, and the third largest port in Canada in the modern world after Vancouver and Montreal.
In the modern world, this port is an important export port for Canada's coal and grain. The shoreline is 3,015m long and the maximum water depth is 46m, which can accommodate 250,000-ton giant ships, which is considered a natural harbor.
At the same time, because of the local location and the shelter of the surrounding terrain and islands, the interior of the port area will naturally be less affected by storms, which is considered a good haven.
In addition, the vicinity of Hong Kong is densely forested, abundant in aquatic products, and has a well-developed coastal fishery, which is rich in large flatfish and salmon. The main industries are pulp, fiber, sawn timber and aquatic product processing.
In fact, the best port on the west coast of Canada is the port of Vancouver, but that place is a direct territory of the imperial court, so Liang En can only give up that place and choose a location further north.
Obviously, there are not many places to choose, after all, Vancouver is already very far north, and the environment in the areas further north will naturally be even worse, so for Liang En, there are not many places he can choose.
The area where Port Rupert is located can only be described as a very ordinary natural environment, but compared to Anchorage or Juneau, the area is enough to be called excellent and rich in natural resources.
Although separated by a world, the natural environment around the two islands is almost the same, which means that the island environment that appears in front of Liang En's eyes in the ancient world is no different from the environment of the same island in the modern world.
After a brief inspection, Liang En determined that in addition to the excellent natural harbor, the island in front of him is rich in forest resources and fishery resources, and can even be cultivated around it.
In other words, this land is very suitable for outsiders to settle in, especially since this place is still on an island, which is very conducive to defensive work.
After cruising around the island in a boat, Liang En made the final decision, he drove the boat to the west of the entire island, and then flicked his fingers and used his sword energy to clear a piece of land.
After doing this, Liang En quickly cleaned the wood with sword qi and then piled it aside to dry, which was regarded as preparing the materials needed for the later people.
Of course, whether it is clearing the land or stacking materials, he does not do it randomly, but all the work done according to the city plan, which also makes the work easier in the future.
According to the plan, it will only take 15 days for the migrants to build the most basic wintering camp after arriving here, so as to prepare for the cold winter as quickly as possible.
"That's it!" In the early morning of the third day on the island, looking at the results of the work he had spent two days on the entire island, Liang En nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, an open space for a camp of at least 1,000 people appeared in front of Liang En, with regular roads and foundations, as well as areas for drainage ditches and various defenses.
As for why he didn't finish the construction completely, it was because Liang En felt that the people under his command needed to have some sense of participation when opening up new territories, so that they could be involved in the new frontiers.
Another reason is that the wasteland as a whole is very dangerous, and many times people have to rely on themselves to get through these dangers, so Liang felt that it was obviously a good idea to keep everyone on their toes by building their own settlements.
Of course, Liang also admits that building a house is more difficult and takes longer than leveling the ground or cutting down trees, and he doesn't have the time and energy to do it now.
Eventually, the possibility of other humans around Liang En also made this decision, fearing that if he completed the construction work ahead of schedule, a local dove might take over Nestle.
After all the work was done, Liang En left the island on the ship, and after completing the planning and preliminary work of the planned future largest city in the territory, he planned to move on to the north to settle the next location.
Unlike this one, the next one is further north, and if you can still farm here, then with the current technology, you won't be able to plant the next land.
That location is Juneau, an important city in the modern world south of Alaska and the state capital of Alaska, with fishing, mining, and lumber processing industries.
Historically, the city arose partly because of the hunting of a variety of fur-bearing animals for furs, and partly because of the three large gold mines that were hidden in nearby Mount Roberts.
Later, as the gold mines dried up, the city gradually declined, and now the world has given way to Alaska's largest city in favor of the up-and-coming city of Anchorage.
In fact, Liang also considered the location of Anchorage in the ancient world for the location of the settlement, but later realized that Anchorage was not suitable for the ancient world.
Because the development of Anchorage is closely related to the oil industry, and the ancient world did not need much industrial oil extraction in a short period of time.
On the contrary, the poor natural environment of the place would have made it very difficult to pioneer, which is why Liang En decided to abandon the site after thinking about it.
Because of the smooth wind, the ships on both sides of the river quickly reached their destination, but unlike before, the snow had already begun to fall in this place.
"It doesn't look like the next development work will be too easy." Liang En sighed as he looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and then took out another map and looked at it.
"Now we need to find out where the local leylines are, otherwise the cost of development will be too great."
