Online Game: Island War

With the engine, although the size is not small, it is not too big, at least trains, ships and so on can be put on the plan.

Hmm~~!

There is no need to burn fire and coal. It is a bit abrupt that he directly named it the train, and the people below may not understand it.

Magic locomotive, called magic car?

Not good, not good.

train? locomotive? Or call a train?

I feel like that's fine! Forget it, let the subordinates decide when the time comes.

It's just..., the engine came out so quickly, aren't those giant pikes he bought useless?

Two million gold coins! Ah~~!

Lei Jiu was in a frenzy.

When he wanted to buy a giant flying barracuda, he never thought that there would be such a thing as a 1-day research card. Even if he knew this thing, he would not have expected that he would get it so early.

Lost, lost a lot, I don't know if I can return it?

Maybe, probably, no way...

At that time, Serakan sold the giant pike to Huanghuang Island as a gourmet food!

Could it be... really only edible?

Although according to Serakan's introduction, the meat of this giant pike is very delicious, and it is a rare gourmet ingredient. However, Lei Jiu is not extravagant enough to spend two million gold coins to satisfy his appetite.

No, he had to find a way to pass on the loss.

But what to do?

For a while, Lei Jiu couldn't think of any good solution. As for Serakan... Let's get in touch, what if we can return the product?

Well, there are still two years for the steelmaking technology to be fully invested and unlocked. Moreover, the initial steelmaking technology is definitely not mature enough. It is okay to build a small-tonnage steel warship, but it is difficult if the displacement exceeds 5,000 tons. Don't even think about it.

Steel warships will not be able to take off in the short term, so Lei Jiu can still only target the wooden hull. Well, although there is no steel skeleton, it can be considered to cover the surface with iron.

At least it can prevent fire attacks such as rockets.

In addition, there is also the problem of anti-magic material coating, which is also a main research direction of the alchemy laboratory. The relevant laboratory is still behind the magic energy laboratory, and Lei Jiu has not gone there before.

I came to the laboratory for a walk, and found that the giant pike is not very useful, and if there is no good way, he will suffer a huge loss. The input of various materials must continue, and even expand the types and quantities.

In a word, capital investment will continue and even expand.

In addition, the shipyard also needs to arrange for the ship design to match the new power plant.

As for the unfinished giant pike-powered vessel...go ahead! Anyway, it is coming to an end and it will be completed within three months.

Given that the spar furnace engine still needs half a year, the new power ship will take seven or eight months to launch. The four to five months in between are the time for these transitional ships to show their value.

What's more, it's time to start stockpiling element crystals and magic power crystals.

In terms of channels, it is natural to go the way of Serakhan, but Serakhan has already stated before that he does not have a magic crystal quota in his hand, so Lei Jiu can only work hard on elemental crystallization.

According to Lei Jiu's VIP level,

He can purchase a total of no more than 500 crystals of various elements from the Ninth Chamber of Commerce every month.

Previously, Lei Jiu didn't buy much, mainly to satisfy Jiu Ge's devouring evolution. Later, four to five thousand fire element crystals were found in the crypt where the fire element crowd lived, and he also suspended the purchase of element crystals for a while.

Now it seems that the cost of more than 500,000 gold coins this month cannot be saved anyway.

In the foreseeable future, these energy spars, as one of the main energy sources, will become more and more important.

such a pity!

So far, Huanghuang Island has not been able to find large-scale element crystal mines.

 …

In a blink of an eye, it was time to merge the islands again. Lei Jiu sent someone ahead of time to tow away the large transport warehouse that housed 20 giant pikes, and then almost piled up the entire merged island in the northeast.

Spend 555 gold coins to relocate the entire extension of the dock to the new coastline position, and the island fusion is over.

However, like the fishing village in the southeast last month, due to the addition of new land, the road to the dock was broken and needed to be extended.

Fortunately, the time has entered the beginning of March, and the weather has begun to warm up. The road paving work can be carried out around the clock, and the road section of several kilometers will not take long.

After all, it is just an ordinary cement road, and the various engineering standards are not as strict as modern roads. In addition, Chifa has the strength of ten people, even if there is no modern vehicle transportation, the work efficiency is still good.

Like the Great Wall of Haiphong, the process of transporting construction materials to designated locations actually takes up most of the labor in the project.

However, after the cement roads of each main road were opened, the transportation efficiency was greatly improved.

Those wooden wheelbarrows and trolleys are easy to be damaged when pushing heavy goods on dirt roads and dirt roads, but if they are on cement roads, even if they are loaded with thousands of catties at a time, they are not so easy to damage.

As for the laying of railroad tracks, it also has to wait for the steelmaking technology to pass the test.

In addition, whether it is building steel ships or erecting railways, it needs strong support in terms of steel production, which is the foundation of heavy industry.

Although it is still a bit early to consider these things, after all, there are still two years before the breakthrough of steelmaking technology, but the plan must be made in advance. For example, the occupational composition of the islanders, the early training of related types of work, etc., will have an impact on the subsequent heavy industry development plan.

Of course, Lei Jiu will not be too ambitious, as long as the plan above is clear in mind.

As for now, the first place can only be agriculture!

When the spring plowing begins in April, that is, after another island is merged next month, the island area of ​​Huanghuang Island will exceed 1,000 square kilometers, and it will officially be promoted to a 4th-level island.

The 1,000 square kilometers of land, excluding the mountainous land that is not suitable for planting, the construction land that will be designated as the new urban area of ​​Huangxiao City, and various agricultural administrative villages and fishing villages, the total area of ​​cultivated land reaches 612 square kilometers.

Lei Jiu intends to take out most of the remaining corn for seeding, totaling more than 2,000 tons, and can sow 450 square kilometers, or 45,000 hectares of corn.

The remaining arable land is used to grow soybeans, cotton, hemp, and various vegetable crops.

Among them, soybeans accounted for the largest proportion, because Lei Jiu had the most soybean seeds in his hands.

Part of it came from the initial purchase from the system, and the other part came from the former Dawn tribe, that is, Andrew and the others.

Before spring plowing, it is natural to ensure sufficient labor.

Therefore, after Huanghuang Island is promoted to level 4, Lei Jiu will start population refresh.

Before that, housing and food must be prepared in advance to meet a new round of population surge.
