Online Game: Island War

In the early morning, the sun was rising and the sky was clear. Lei Jiu stood by the sea and watched his subordinates busy.

Today, they will implement the exploration plan set two days ago.

Due to the possible dangerous factors on the outer islands, apart from a few high-strength fighters from Huanghuang Island, all 16 militiamen were accompanying them this time.

As for Han Gongju, he is still too good at the moment and stays on the island to train by himself.

Among the protected objects, in addition to the top priority of the island owner Lei Jiu, there are also two prospectors. The prospecting targets are high-quality stones and important minerals.

Although Lei Jiu himself could take on the exploration mission, if he was the only one, the efficiency would not be high, so there were two more entourages who needed to be protected.

Luo Zheng was in charge of commanding the militia team, Nicotine personally protected the island owner, and Nangong was left by Lei Jiu to sit on the island.

With the increasing population of the island, the affairs on the island are becoming more and more complicated, and Nangong is getting more and more busy, so he cannot be transferred easily.

Although Nangong Yu didn't complain to him, Lei Jiu could tell that although he could bear this kind of boredom, he still hoped to go out often.

However, apart from Nangong Fen, Huanghuang Island currently has no other people who can take charge of the administration.

Unless, Lei Jiu himself is willing to sit in the office. But is it possible?

Lei Jiu absolutely refused to sit in the office.

Therefore, for Nangong Yu's problem, we can only hope that the system can find a high-level political talent for Huanghuang Island as soon as possible.

Of the six islands closest to Huanghuang Island, one has been merged, and the remaining five islands are today's exploration targets.

"My lord, the preparations are complete!"

Lei Jiu nodded at Luo Zheng, "Then board the boat and set off!"

This time, what they took was no longer a small fishing boat, but a small paddle boat newly produced by the carpenter's workshop. It was more than eight meters long, with two rows of eight oars, and it could transport more than 30 people with a full load.

In the carpenter's workshop right now, there are a group of craftsmen who are responsible for shipbuilding. Lei Jiu plans to wait for the territory to refresh talents with relatively high shipbuilding expertise, and then pull these people out alone to build the dock.

In this world full of islands, if the shipbuilding technology is backward, then the beating will be just what it deserves.

Plan ahead. After the island situation enters a stage of steady development, this extremely important technology in the future must be planned in advance.

For the shipbuilding industry, even if the technology continues to develop, the production cycle will always be relatively long, the accumulation of craftsmen and skilled workers also needs to be planned in advance.

Everyone boarded the boat, Lei Jiu pointed to a hill-shaped island and said, "Go to that island first!"

His primary goal now is high-quality stone that can be used in system buildings, followed by other minerals.

Of course, if there is such a surprise as gold, silver and copper mines, he will definitely not refuse, although the hope is not very high.

In comparison, mountainous terrain is always easier to mine. Even if only gypsum is found, it can improve the performance of cement and reduce the construction difficulty of the engineering team.

Not long after the eight militiamen entered the bilge oar position, the eight long oars located on both sides of the paddle boat began to row in an orderly manner.

For this scull boat full of 30 to 40 people, the burden of Lei Jiu's 20-odd people is not too big. With the efforts of eight strong militiamen, the paddle boat is very fast, about 40 minutes We landed on the target island.

This is the second island named Island No. 1 by Lei Jiu. As for the previous Island No. 1... it has been merged.

The area of ​​this island is also just over 3 square kilometers. In fact, the six islands that make up the first island chain surrounding Huanghuang Island are all about the same size as the original Huanghuang Island. Only further away can you see a larger area. islands.

Lei Jiu also sent people to explore, and found that there was an undercurrent in the outer waters of the first island chain. In terms of the current size and strength of ships,

It is difficult to break through the blockade of the undercurrent to reach those islands.

Of course, if he wanted to force his way through, there was no way he could do it. He could still do it by relying on Nicotine's flying thaumaturgy and Lingboweibu magic.

However, Lei Jiu knew in his heart that this undercurrent should be a blockade set by the system.

Maybe it's just a simple test, and if you pass it, you can get more benefits, but it's also possible that it's some kind of protective blockade.

The islands outside are not safe, as can be seen in the previous round of system announcements for merging islands. However, these dangerous factors would not have erupted if the island owner player hadn't merged the island and provoked these troubles.

These dangers are forcibly set as triggers by the system.

However, no one can guarantee that the same is true in the outer sea area. What if the creatures there are strongly aggressive and aggressive?

In the steady and rapid development stage of Huanghuang Island, and the means of self-protection are not very sufficient, he will not easily take risks. At this stage, it is most appropriate to fight steadily. Huanghuang Island is his foundation, and he can't risk its safety.

What's more, he never fought unprepared battles, and now he has too little information to make targeted arrangements, and rash actions are not in line with his character.

It's not that he's conservative, it's just that he doesn't like gambling. Although luck can bring surprises, it's not worth relying on.

In his view, taking risks without sufficient information is gambling, and it is irresponsible to leave everything to luck, and he does not approve of it.

Of course, if there is intelligence support, whether to decide to take risks depends on how big the benefits are.

There is no beach, shoal or flat land on the shore of Island No. 1. Lei Jiu and his party tied the boat to a raised rock and started climbing directly. The whole island is just a hill.

The hills are tall and the forest is deep. After a few steps deep, you can only see fragments of sunlight occasionally seeping through the mottled leaves, and the chirping of insects and birds can be heard from time to time, but Lei Jiu can't see the figures of these birds. They seem to be concentrated in the High in the canopy, I don't know what kind of bird it is.

The animal resources of No. 1 Island are obviously much richer than Huanghuang Island and the relic island that was previously integrated. Squirrels, rabbits, monkeys were the most abundant, and he saw foxes, goats, deer, koalas, and snakes.

Why? That's a weasel, hello! Don't scare it!

Damn, "Run!" It stinks!

 …

The soil and vegetation coverage on the mountain is very high, and there are basically no open-air stone areas. Instead, there are many rocks by the sea, and stone walls can be seen everywhere. However, those are not the qualified stones he is looking for.

There are two types of high-quality stone materials required for system buildings, one is granite with relatively hard texture, and the other is marble with relatively low hardness. Of course, it would be better if it is rarer white marble.

But it is a pity that although the main chemical composition of marble and white marble is calcium carbonate, the difference in rarity between the two can be seen by the suffix of one name with stone and the other with jade.

Lei Jiu didn't have such high expectations, as long as he could find the marble.

To everyone's surprise, there is no vegetation on the top of a lush mountain.

"This is a very strong mountain!"

? ? ?

Everyone looked at their island owner in puzzlement, not understanding what this sentence meant.

"It's all bald, how could it not be strong?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at each other blankly, not understanding the stalk at all.

In other words, is there any relationship between being strong and being bald? In addition, can mountains be evaluated by whether they are strong or not? The island owner's words are getting more and more profound.

"Master Island Master, many of the exposed rocks are granite!" The two most dedicated exploration staff did not stop to listen to their Island Master's nonsense, and a few words of effort yielded results.

"Um!"

Lei Jiu nodded indifferently. In fact, he had noticed it when he first came up, otherwise why would he be in a nonsense mood?

His calm performance shocked the hearts of his subordinates. Could it be that the reason why the island owner said that this mountain is strong is because he can find what he needs here?

For a moment, the figure of the island lord grew taller in their hearts again.
