Online Game: Island War

Chapter 230: The Shuttle Ship

In fact, so far, Huanghuang Island has only forged 3 pieces of epic equipment, and one piece of epic equipment is produced in a month. In the extreme case, Edgar has to vomit blood.

Of course, even without Edgar and Thuringians who are still expanding their underground living space, Ironforge still has two great forging masters.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

It's just that they have just passed the level of grand masters. In order not to waste materials, Edgar has been pressing them to figure out carefully, and cannot directly open the furnace.

After such a long time, these two have gained a lot of experience. It is estimated that soon, Edgar will let go of the restrictions and allow them to do it.

Coupled with the fact that there are also two great masters among the mountain dwarves at the root of Thuringia, it can be said that Huanghuang Island's epic equipment production has a bright future.

This is why Lei Jiu attaches so much importance to mountain dwarves.

This family's natural bonus in forging is too high, even the proportion of great masters who have a chance to forge legendary equipment is so high.

I landed on Chihua Island before and found that after the player's island owner was killed, all the prehistoric races in the Chihua island chain disappeared, which disappointed Lei Jiuda, who was looking for mountain dwarves.

In view of this, Lei Jiu has a guess that these prehistoric races in the three-tiered island chain are also likely to be novice benefits specially distributed to island owner players by the system.

As for which race to get and how many can be kept, it depends on the player's luck and strength.

On the outlying islands outside the island chain, there should be very few traces of prehistoric survivors.

Of course, this is just his conjecture, whether it is true or not, has yet to be verified by himself later.

If this is the case, it can't be said that even in order to improve the army equipment, he has to find other players' bad luck.

 …

"Master Island Master!"

"What's up?"

"Report from the shipyard, the new ship is ready to launch!"

"Oh?" Lei Jiu looked up, it was getting late, "Understood! Just let me know, I'll be there tomorrow morning!"

"yes!"

At the dock, there are two types of boats currently being designed and built. One is a large wooden boat, and the interior is designed and built according to the design and construction of a giant pike.

The other is a large wooden ship covered with iron, which is designed to be powered by a spar furnace engine that has not yet been released from the laboratory, and is an iron steamer driven by a huge iron wheel.

Of course, it is impossible for the ship that is launched now to be a ship that has not even had its power plant installed.

Although spar-powered ships should be the mainstream of sea communication and warfare in the future, it doesn't mean that bio-powered ships have no value at all.

If it weren't for the 1-day research card, Lei Jiu would have to wait 30 years before he could start the research and application of spar power.

Prior to this, the only choice for most players was to get rid of the paddle power with mediocre efficiency and speed and use marine life as the power.

The giant pike is just one of the options. The ocean is magnificent and vast, and any kind of creature may exist.

After the players start to contact the sea race, the sea creatures that can pull the boat out will come into their sight.

In terms of speed, giant pikes are not inferior to any marine life. If combined with load capacity, their overall evaluation is still among the best. Lei Jiu is confident about this.

The only disadvantage of the giant pike is that the meat is delicious and tastes good, which leads to a very high price.

The average player is simply reluctant to spend such a large sum of money to buy them to pull the boat. starter

Therefore, if he does not want to lose money in the future, Lei Jiu has to keep looking for opportunities.

Right now, before the spar engine is produced and the ship still has to lie in the dock, he still has to use the large wooden boat powered by the pike.

Compared with paddle boats that are laborious and not very fast, flying shuttle boats, short for pike powered large wooden boats, are much more efficient.

Because there is no need to arrange the bottom cabin for rowing oars like oar power, nor does it need mast sails for sail power, so the height of the ship is greatly reduced, and the overall weight is reduced a lot.

With the strength of a giant pike, even a boat can run fast, 30 kilometers per hour is still possible.

Converted to nautical miles, the speed is about 17 knots.

Like the island where Han Bao, the bear of the earth, can be reached in four or five hours, which greatly reduces the time wasted at sea.

The next morning, Lei Jiu rushed to the dock to participate in the launching ceremony of the shuttle boat.

The ceremony was relatively simple. As the owner of the island, Lei Jiu went up to speak a few words, and praised all the personnel on and off the dock, thanking them for their hard work and contributions.

After the big boat was launched and stabilized, Lei Jiu boarded the boat and made two laps on the sea to experience the speed.

Lei Jiu was quite satisfied with the result.

The island owner is satisfied, and the next step is to continue working on 9 ships.

There are 20 giant barracudas in total, and every two will bear a boat in rotation. After spending so much money and raising them for so long, Lei Jiu has to pay back the cost and stop the loss!

The problem of fast ships is solved, and it is time to form a formal navy on the island.

It's just that right now, there are no relatively good naval talents on the island.

In the end, Lei Jiu decided to wait and start the population refresh again during the autumn harvest to see if there would be any surprises. After all, shipbuilding also takes time.

Seeing that the population is approaching 100,000, the system didn't even give him a talent suitable for commanding the navy.

This year's spring sowing area is 45,000 hectares of corn alone, plus thousands of hectares of soybeans, and hundreds of tons of seafood imported every day, Huanghuang Island can now maintain a population of nearly one million.

Of course, there is also winter wheat, otherwise, only one season of grain harvest can only support 600,000 to 700,000 people at most.

Before the autumn harvest, Lei Jiu will release the population refresh limit again.

This time, with a population of less than 800,000, he will not stop population refresh.

He doesn't believe it anymore, 700,000 people have been added, and there are still not one or two naval talents?

After going home to rest at night, Lei Jiu noticed another letter from the mailbox.

He took it out and saw that the sender was Shen Baiye.

Could it be that the post he posted a few days ago worked?

Lei Jiu himself blocks strangers from adding friends. All the work that is harassed is done by Shen Baiye. Anyway, this fellow likes to chat with people, whether he is acquaintances or strangers, he can chat. And having fun.

Shen Baiye mentioned in the letter that someone contacted him and wanted to exchange an s-level famous general challenge card for an epic-level sword.

The specific s-level counterparty did not say, but only proposed to deal face-to-face as soon as possible, with one hand for the sword and the other for the card.

If Lei Jiu intends to change it, send him the epic sword as soon as possible.

S class?

Also, right now, s-level is more profitable than a-level, because there are fewer players who are qualified to meddle in s-level general souls, and the difficulty of the challenge is even more difficult to achieve in a short period of time.

The challenge card of each general is not unique, as time goes by, as long as the general's soul has not been taken away, the corresponding challenge cards will continue to appear and gradually increase.

It is better to change to something useful and not easy to depreciate as soon as possible.

Lei Jiu didn't hesitate, took out the epic sword and sent it directly to Shen Baiye.

After all, for Lei Jiu, epic weapons are no longer rare, and he would be a fool not to change them!
