Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 280 Ore Collection and Shipping

February 5, Broken World, No. 1 Sky Island Airport.

The camp has a permanent population of 800.

Through the continuous transportation of resources from the territory by airships, the camp was able to build a series of solid permanent residences and semi-permanent defense bunkers with steel and red bricks. The camp has officially changed from an ordinary outpost to a standard airport with "throughput".

The twin of the pottery workshop, the brick workshop was born with the needs of the floating island.

A material that is lighter than stone and easier to transport by airships.

The system can help the lords skip the most complicated construction process, so Ji Lin did not want to open a special production line for making red bricks with clay - but places far away from the core without a system can rely on the hands of the people.

They have to build the buildings bit by bit.

Ji Lin plans to directly take out the technology of cement, red bricks, or clay bricks, to prepare for temporary needs.

"This month, there are eight soldiers, four or five laborers, and six hundred hunting spiders... Wait, why are there so many?"

An officer picked up the record board in his hand and asked another officer standing next to him.

The other officer scratched his head in some difficulty and explained to the officer in charge of data statistics.

"Collecting work is not as safe as we thought... I don't know when a wasp nest moved to the collection point we often go to. Then our patrol team didn't pay attention, resulting in unnecessary injuries."

It is obviously a better idea to directly obtain the floating stone veins near the camp than to go to the distant floating island for periodic harvesting - the premise is to ignore the extremely ferocious local creatures on this large island.

The number of creatures on the large island is even more than that of all the small islands combined, which allows the island to support a large number of top predators.

Tree demons that generate poisonous fog, and a large number of fairies that coexist with them; various enlarged versions of insects that become extremely difficult to deal with under the catalysis of magic elements; and... cloud-dwelling creatures that travel between clouds.

In a camp of 800 people, the cruise fleet needs to go around when facing the first-class floating stone veins and some monster camps, pursuing the maximum cost-effectiveness of resource development.

The 75 gun can make the cruise fleet not afraid of ordinary air monsters, but it is a bit stretched to support ground units.

The muskets in the hands of the soldiers are not suitable for fighting against a large number of incoming air units in this environment because of the problem of shooting speed. And the turning speed of the artillery cannot keep up with the air units that can move at high speed in the air.

Especially when the size of the target is about the same as that of a humanoid, it is even more difficult.

The two officers chatted with each other to kill the boring time.

"Yes, the one over there... We have to continue working after we finish repairing it."

The officer in charge of collecting floating stones turned his head and looked at the Seagull-class airship docked at the airport not far away, feeling a little emotional.

The ground crew was using buckets to wash off the brown juice stained on the gray-black hull, and working with the yellow-painted engineering steam spiders around to repair the airship with damaged surface armor. They were using hangers made of steel and hemp rope to remove pieces of damaged armor plates and mount new armor plates.

The armor plates were easy to make. When the hydraulic press was raised and lowered, an armor plate entered the warehouse.

A ground crew pushed a cart past them, allowing them to see the appearance of the dismantled armor plates.

There were white marks on the damaged armor plates, and some dents that were obviously caused by collisions. These cleaned armor plates will be recycled to recycle some of the lost steel.

The flying giant wasps can't penetrate their shipboard armor, but scratching them with a hornet is still troublesome.

"This world is really hell, I still have a month before my next rotation."

The officer in charge of the collection work stared at the thick clouds in the sky. When he did this, he could occasionally see cloud-dwelling creatures emerging from the clouds: cloud whales with huge bodies leaping in the clouds, migratory birds flying across the sky like the earth, or super-large jellyfish that specifically rise to high altitudes to bask in the sun.

Super-large jellyfish have only been confirmed to be witnessed by soldiers recently. These big guys always move and rise and fall in an environment higher than the sky island. The sunlight will cause a small distortion through their translucent bodies, as if a dandelion is going back and forth in the clouds. If you don't pay attention, you can't find that there is such a creature moving in the clouds.

It's really amazing.

He retracted his gaze. It was cloudy today, and it was difficult to observe what was moving in the clouds.

"This thing on your waist?"

"Oh, you mean this, this is real wine."

The officer in charge of recording took the iron pot from his waist, shook it in front of his colleagues, and made a clear sound. He opened the bottle cap and handed it to the officer in charge of collection.

A strong pungent smell with a very light smell of sugar cane came out, making the officer in charge of collection frown.

"The lord sent us some wine as strategic materials, which is not good to drink at all... If you need it, you can go to the merchant ship berth to pick it up. Lao Jiang is still there. These are also the fist products that the territory is going to use for trade-a sip?"

However, the soldiers can always drink beverages other than sugar water, salt water and boiled water.

It is very cold to be on duty at night on Sky Island.

No matter how lush the vegetation on the sky island looks, and how many creatures there are, it is 100 meters high. The cold wind flowing in the sky will take away every bit of warmth from the sun during the day, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.

If the sentinels make a fire to keep warm, they will attract some unfriendly night walkers... Creatures that move at night are always not friendly.

At this time, it is very comfortable to have a sip of hot wine that can warm the body.

The officer in charge of the collection work poured himself a small bottle of rum, looked at the impure amber that seemed to condense in the sun, and then poured it into his mouth.

The fleeting spiciness seemed to burn his throat.

"Merchant ship berthing port? Isn't it for merchant ships? Lao Jiang came back so quickly after delivering the goods?"

The officer in charge of recording shrugged and answered his colleagues' puzzled eyes.

"Ah, the route has been figured out. If we take the shortest route, it will only take about a month to go back and forth. But this time he brought us some good things, you should go and have a look."

The seeds needed for the territory have been harvested before the spring plowing. The job of the merchant ship is to transport the rare materials that the territory does not need to use to the city of Ate, exchange them for the corresponding cheap materials and give them to Ji Lin, and then throw them to the Lord's Market to earn the difference... Even if it is exchanged for gold and silver, the territory will still make a lot of money.

Cargo ships will inevitably have some remaining cargo space. Ji Lin approved the extra cargo space to extract 10% of the trade profit for procurement work, and purchase some magic rune devices to improve the lives of the soldiers on the sky island.

The guys in the Holy City sell magic items too expensively, and they are so dark...

His rune lamp costs Alicia 1 gold to help purchase, and the Holy City stationed in the territory dares to sell it for 5 gold, a full five times!

"But unlike those guys from the Church of Light in the territory, we don't need to pay for anything. We can just take away anything we like."
