Chapter 182: A Bumper Harvest in Forestry, Heavy Cruisers!
The port area, warehouse area, residential area, and farming area on Grand Taiman Island are well organized and distinct.
Outsiders are mainly concentrated in the port area, and the limit of their activities is at best the entire town.
Although their initial desire to take over the empty city of the natives and invade the land of Yucatan was frustrated.
But even if you just trade with the island's natives normally, you can still make a lot of money.
Especially at a time when the two major hegemons were in decline, the east-west trade route was opened, and the pioneer pilot colonial trading company ensured the safety of merchant ships.
Not only did they not withdraw from the international port, but the port of Georgetown became more and more prosperous because of the increasing flow of people.
And when the people are complex enough and the systems are chaotic enough, something that is expected is bound to happen.
Stomp and tread
On the border between the developed area and the mountains and forests that have not been opened to the public, a procession of muskets in red uniforms walks through.
"Tomorrow we will rest, and tonight we will go to the song of the nightingale together, I will have a treat, and everyone will not return if they are not drunk."
"It's still the captain who is generous, and now our Georgetown's living standard is not much worse than that of Port Royal Jamestown."
"Indeed, I am ready to apply for an internal loan from the Governor's Palace, buy a house and settle down."
"Really? Congratulations, congratulations"
These are the fifty Marines who originally served with Vincent, the royal hound.
After the former's spirits became the head of the house, they also became part of the outer defense system.
As night fell, a group of lobster soldiers completed the handover with another team of rotating personnel and were about to return to the town.
But Blair, one of the soldiers at the end of the line, took advantage of the inattention of his companions, and suddenly hid in the bushes everywhere.
He quickly took off his overly bright red and white military uniform, turned them over and put them back on.
The lining of the military uniform had long been sewn in advance with a layer of canvas dyed dark blue, and the soldier just rolled on the spot and blended perfectly into the night.
Follow the markers that have been made a long time ago, and run all the way to the depths of the mountains and forests.
I didn't stop until I came to an invisible barrier and found that no matter how I walked, I felt like I had lost my way and couldn't get in.
"What treasures are hidden in this forbidden area? Is it worth the trouble for those people to buy me to do the internal response? ”
There are all kinds of treasures on the sea.
As a lord, he set up a forbidden area on the island, what secrets were hidden, and what means were used, and he was not obliged to explain it to anyone.
But Miss Catherine, Countess of Greenville, has the title of Mithril Dragon, which symbolizes wealth, and is far more dazzling than the beautiful Flower of the Northland, which represents her.
Seeing the international port day making money, under the red eyes, it is really normal to make a temptation.
Especially some time ago, the Governor's Mansion bought a batch of log processing equipment, but there was no entry or exit, which immediately attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people.
"Miss Catherine, I don't want to be a traitor either, but they give too much.
It was enough for me to return to the kingdom during the monsoon, buy a manor, and live the life of a rich man for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry. ”
Soldier Blair watched left and right and placed a small pale gold mouse in his waist bag on the ground.
This is an extremely precious transcendent creature gold digger, able to instinctively bypass various traps and magic circles to find the most valuable treasures nearby.
It is also the coveted contract object of [Treasure Hunter], [Beast Tamer] and other professions.
It's a pity that they didn't wait for them to put it into action.
Two white ghosts quietly appeared behind Blair.
When he felt a chill down his spine, he subconsciously turned his head to look back.
As soon as the shadows of the two [Undead Acolytes] were reflected in their eyes, they were possessed in an instant.
The bodies of one man and one rat stiffened suddenly.
Then the mountains and forests parted on their own, and Catherine and Byron, dressed in aqua green dresses and high heels, walked together as if they were walking in their own living room.
The traitor soldier Blair's face immediately changed dramatically, realizing that he didn't even know when, and he had already been exposed.
He couldn't move, so he had to open his mouth and beg for mercy:
"Miss Catherine, Your Excellency the Governor, I beg you, spare me. I still have a wife and children in the Old World, and they threaten me with their lives.
I'm all forced. ”
Catherine and Byron didn't even look at him.
"Loyalty is really a variable, the day before it was still showing the pass line, and the next day it suddenly fell below the warning line.
The most important thing is that the international port is crowded with people, and it is located under the spotlight of the entire Bantaan Islands, and some things may be exposed no matter how secretive they are.
After this forestry harvest, it's time to think about divesting the production base and port business. ”
He threw an axe in front of Blair and waved at him:
"It's just that there aren't enough people to cut wood, so you can go to work too."
The invisible barrier that originally blocked others from entering disappeared, and the three of them entered the forest farm smoothly.
In front of him, a group of figures with ghostly eyes were struggling to cut wood.
They are all intelligence officers who are committed crimes in the port by various forces.
In the Tayman Islands, a royal realm covered by the Golden Law, the Emperor has the highest authority to customize the laws at will.
Of all the criminals, the column with the most serious crimes usually becomes the Blood of Transmutation.
Those who are more guilty will come here and become laborers controlled by the [Undead Acolytes], tending to the spice trees and teak trees in the mountain forest.
At this time, it has been three full months since the spice and teak saplings were planted.
Thanks to the combined efforts of two full-time farming-type relics: the Crystal Skull No. 3 and the Golden Toilet, they have all grown completely.
The thin layer of dark soil under your feet seems to be able to grab oil.
All 500 spice trees use the perforation method, fire method, and true red oil fungus infection stimulation method to promote the spice tree to secrete oil and combine with wood.
It has been accelerated to precipitate into a real spice.
Byron scraped it with a dagger, leaving a layer of golden powder on the blade, which shimmered in the moonlight, shining brighter than gold.
In this state, you can't smell any spices, only a faint oily woody smell.
It shows that the medicinal properties of incense medicine are restrained and the quality is extremely high.
"Sure enough, agricultural knowledge is the right way to open Crystal Skull Three.
In just three months, the quality of the spices has surpassed the best products produced by the pioneers on the island of Taiman Brac with blood sacrifices.
Spices of this quality are not a problem even if they are used to supply the promotion needs of mid-to-high-level transcendents.
In addition to using it for your own use, you can also use it to buy the high-level of the kingdom, ensuring that you can use it accurately, which is more popular than any treasure. ”
At the heart of the contention in the Spice Islands is spices, a precious substance that represents a source of extraordinary power.
Rapid spiritual upliftment; Strengthen the perception of the Navigator; As an auxiliary fuel for the lighthouse, illuminate the spiritual world and keep the colony safe from grotesque attacks
Spices are the necessities of overseas colonization, hard currency!
Catherine also twisted a little on her white and tender fingertips, and the spiritual flame burned, and her face couldn't help showing a look of intoxication:
Unfortunately, the plan is not as fast as the change, and it turns out that the local population will not be able to develop the island to a very limited extent.
When the spices and teak are grown, it makes perfect sense that we discovered them suddenly while exploring the island.
But now that the island is full of human spirits, these guys won't believe the we talk about, and they really need to be moved as soon as possible.
They are not good at farming, but they are experts at stealing. ”
"Indeed."
Byron agreed.
The national character is different, and the mainstream of the countries of the Old World is to grab when the power is strong, and trade when the power is weak.
Seldom take the initiative to do production work.
This is the same as Byron never understands, in the catastrophic stories he has seen before, why the protagonist always has to run around to scavenge for supplies.
Shouldn't the correct way to open the end of the world at this time be to find a good place to start farming with peace of mind, restore production order, and climb the tech tree again?
They don't, they just bring it to you.
Fortunately, Byron Lancaster, who now has the blood of the people of the bay, has the characteristics of both civilizations, knowing both farming and taking doctrine.
Grab it with both hands, and be hard with both hands!
Grab money, grab spices, grab people, farm, make iron, trade and then repeat the cycle.
"Clean up all the teak wood, and load it on the ship later."
Today, the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company is rapidly expanding in terms of fleet, personnel size, and personnel strength.
His next-generation shipbuilding program is also on the agenda.
It's not just Tudor mixes, there's something even more powerful.
In fact, since they had money, they have long since procured enough raw materials from outside the island.
It was built by Hans the Boatwright, according to precise drawings.
Use the Crystal Skull's No. 8 ability: Enlightening Morningstar's Light of Knowledge to greatly increase the construction speed.
In a few months, you will be able to see the world's first finished Tudor mixer.
There is a great hope that it will be upgraded to a powerful [Holy Relic] when it is successfully built!
This time, however, they had harvested 2,000 high-quality teak trees, which were enough to build a third-class ship.
Byron's goal is to build a heavy cruiser that can be invincible even against a Tier 3 ship!
"Even if there is no endless stream of spies and moles.
The island also lacked the necessary foundation for the development of heavy industry, iron ore, fuel, timber, sufficient labor, and land resources.
It was imperative to establish a new fortified city on the island of Yucatan. ”
Of course, Byron still had a little thought of his own that he didn't dare to say to Catherine.
That is, Violet, the predetermined founder of the industrial system, is about to arrive.
Separate, must be separated!
