Online Game: Island War Chapter 200

With the engine, although the size is not small, it is not too big. At least trains, ships, etc. can be planned.

Hmm~!

He didn't need to burn fire and burn coal. It was a bit awkward for him to directly name the train, and it was estimated that the people below would not understand it.

Magic powered locomotive, called a magic car?

Not good, not good.

Motor car? locomotive? Or a train?

It feels like you can call it that! Forget it, then let the subordinates decide.

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

Two million gold coins! Ah~~!

Lei Jiu went crazy.

When he wanted to buy a giant barracuda, he would never have thought that there was such a thing as a 1-day research card. Even if he knew about it, he would never have expected that he would get it so early.

It's a loss, it's a big loss, and I don't know if I can return it?

Maybe, maybe, no...

At that time, Serakan sold the giant squid as a gourmet ingredient to Huanghuang Island!

Could it be... really only eat it?

Although according to Serakan's introduction, the flesh of this giant barracuda is very delicious, and it is a rare food ingredient. It's just that Lei Jiu is not luxurious enough to spend two million gold coins to satisfy his appetite.

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

But, what should we do?

For a while, Lei Jiu couldn't think of a good solution. As for Serakan... let's get in touch, in case it can be returned?

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

The steel battleship will not be able to travel in the short term, so Lei Jiu can only target the wooden hull. Well, although there is no steel skeleton, the surface can be covered with iron.

At least it can prevent fire attacks such as rockets.

In addition, there is also the issue of anti-magic material coating, which is also a major research direction of the Alchemy Laboratory. The relevant laboratory is still behind the magic energy laboratory, and Lei Jiu hadn't gone there before.

I visited the laboratory and found that the giant squid is no longer useful. If there is no good way, he will lose a lot of money. In addition, the input of various materials will continue, and even expand the variety and quantity.

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

In addition, the shipyard will also arrange for the design of ships to match the new power plant.

As for the giant barracudpowered vessel that isn't finished yet... go ahead! Anyway, it has come to an end, and it will be completed within three months.

Given that the spar furnace engine still needs half a year, it will take seven or eight months for the new power ship to be launched. The intervening four or five months is the time for these transitional ships to show their value.

Also, it is time to start stockpiling elemental crystals and magic crystals.

In terms of channels, of course, he still has to go the way of Serakan, but Serakan has said before that he does not have a quota of magic crystals, so Lei Jiu can only work on elemental crystals.

According to Lei Jiu's VIP level, he can buy up to 500 pieces of various elemental crystals from the Ninth Chamber of Commerce every month.

Previously, Lei Jiu didn't buy much, mainly to satisfy Jiuge's evolution. Later, he found four or five thousand fire element crystals in the crypt of the fire elemental community, and he also suspended the purchase of element crystals for a while.

Now it seems that the cost of more than half a million gold coins this month cannot be saved no matter what.

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

such a pity!

So far, no large-scale elemental crystal ore has been found on Huanghuang Island.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to fuse the islands again. Lei Jiu sent someone in advance to drag away the large transport bin that housed the 20 giant squid, and then stacked almost the entire fused island in the northeast.

After spending 555 gold coins to relocate the entire extension of the dock to a new coastline location, this 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, the weather has started to warm up, the paving work can be carried out around the clock, and the road sections of several kilometers will not take long.

After all, it is just an ordinary cement road, and the engineering standards are not as strict as modern roads. With the strength of one red hair plant, even if there is no modern vehicle transportation, the work efficiency is still good.

Like the Great Wall of Haiphong, the process of transporting building materials to designated locations actually took 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 you take a concrete road, even if you load thousands of kilograms at a time, it is not so easy to damage.

As for laying the rails, we also have to wait for the steelmaking technology to pass the test.

In addition, whether it is steel shipbuilding or railway erection, strong support is required in terms of steel production, that is, the basis of heavy industry.

Although it is still a little early to consider these, 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~www.mtlnovel.com~ the advance training of related types of work, etc., will have an impact on the subsequent heavy industry development plan.

Of course, Lei Jiu wouldn't be too ambitious, as long as he knew the plan above.

As for now, the number one priority is only agriculture!

When the spring ploughing began in April, that is, after an island is integrated again 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 areas that are 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, have a total cultivated area of ​​612 square kilometers.

Lei Jiu plans to use most of the remaining corn for planting, with a total of more than 2,000 tons, which can plant 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, soybean accounts for the largest proportion, because Lei Jiu has the most soybean seeds.

Part of it was purchased from the system at the beginning, and most of it was from the former Dawn Tribe, Andrew and the others.

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

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

Until then, housing and food, both of which must be prepared in advance for a new wave of population surges.
