Chapter 0702 Report, Food Shortage, Steam Engine

Although Xiao Yi said it was just a casual chat, the people in charge of those islands were still a little reserved.

"Okay, let's start!" Xiao Yi no longer pressed, so he let everyone start talking about the situation on their respective islands.

These people in front of me are reporting to work for the first time, so they don’t know what to say or where to start!

Xiao Yi had no choice but to speak again: "Let's talk about what special resources have been refreshed on your island, whether there are any special items, whether there are any abnormalities, and other things you think you need to communicate with me."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

"Island owner, three iron mines and one copper mine have been created on our island. No special items have been found yet, and there are no other situations."

"Island owner, we..."

...

These people in charge almost followed Xiao Yi's template without any modifications, and finished it in just a few words.

However, Xiao Yi was very satisfied with this. When talking about things, he focused on the important ones and put the others aside for now.

"Island owner, a coal mine has been discovered on our island, but there may be a shortage of food on our island."

Finally hearing a different voice, Xiao Yi looked at the person in charge and asked, "Didn't you reserve some food on the island before?"

"Back to the island owner, we have stocked up, but it was all stocked up by the previous owner of the island. The food they stocked is not enough. We have moved the entire city's 50,000 people there."

This person in charge was one of the wizards that Xiao Yi had captured using the Sky Fortress.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi asked doubtfully: "Although the population has increased suddenly, your city should also have its own food reserves!"

"Yes, but not enough, because our city on the road is relatively close to the sea, and the rising sea water has submerged all our fields. Therefore, there is no harvest this autumn. We only rely on food reserves, and there are still some gaps!" the wizard replied.

"Okay, you can discuss this matter with Uncle An, and you can allocate part of it from here." Xiao Yi did not expect that it was the reason why the survivors landed that they had nothing to gain.

"Thank you, island owner!" the wizard said happily.

Originally he thought Xiao Yi would let them solve this problem on their own, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to agree to allocate food to them!

"Are there any other questions?" Xiao Yi asked.

"there is none left!"

Everyone shook their heads.

Xiao Yi waved his hand: "Okay, let's go out and play. Today's consumption will be all on me."

"Thank you, island owner!" Those people walked out happily.

Many of them have been coveting the expensive drinks for a long time. Now that someone is paying, they naturally want to have a good drink!

When I came to another room, most of them were old friends. Everyone was more relaxed and reported the matter quickly.

Xiao Yi looked at Zheng Yu and asked, "Is the Bailang family over there okay?"

"Fortunately, with the high-grade food and water you gave me, the two white wolves have improved by one level, and the wolf cubs are growing as fast as if they were taking hormones!" Zheng Yu replied.

Xiao Yi nodded, and Zheng Yu continued: "Thanks to the Bailang family, otherwise the animal riot on the island two days ago would probably have demolished all the houses on the island!"

"Finally we didn't raise them in vain!" Xiao Yi said with a smile, then turned to An Yue and asked, "Uncle An, how many indigenous tribe islands are there that have not been explored yet?"

Anyue turned over the draft paper in his hand, and then replied: "Back to the island owner, there are still two tribal islands. It is expected that they will be completely explored today and mined before tomorrow night."

"Is it finally done?" Xiao Yi sighed with emotion.

There were too many indigenous tribes captured before, but Xiao Yi only had one exploration equipment in hand. Fortunately, this exploration equipment was SSS level. Otherwise, if it was used at full capacity, he would have been dead!

After mining the mineral deposits on those tribal islands, Xiao Yi can set his sights on the New World and his own islands.

Especially for Qin Feng, limestone mining needs to be put on the agenda. Xiao Yi needs cement, and a lot of cement!

"Yes, but there are still a few mining machines. Can the island owner get a few more?" An Yue said.

Xiao Yi helplessly replied: "You don't really think that SSS-level items are cabbage, do you?"

"It's really hard to find SSS-level items in other people's places, but with you, the island owner, they're just like cabbage!" Sun Gudao interjected.

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and replied: "I'm overthinking it. I'm just looking at my face here. No one can guarantee that I can drive out mining equipment again!"

"In this case, we can only use manual labor, but the efficiency is terrible!" An Yue shook his head.

Having seen the mining efficiency of advanced mining machines, I can't stand the ultra-low efficiency of manual labor.

"No matter how inefficient it is, you still have to use it. If you can mine it, it's better. You must know that other islands now mine ores in this way!" Xiao Yi said.

"Yes!" everyone responded.

"Are there any other questions?" Xiao Yi asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, let's all play. I'll pay for today's consumption." Xiao Yi waved his hand.

Everyone cheered happily: "Long live the island owner!"

Just after everyone left, Su Wan called: "Island owner, someone has developed a blueprint for a steam engine."

Xiao Yi was not very surprised when he got this news. According to the development process, this thing should also appear.

"Steam engines, coal, and steel, we are indeed entering the mechanical age!" Xiao Yi secretly thought, and then came to the island monument.

The group is still discussing the steam engine.

"Brother, is this steam engine a template?"

"No, it's just a manufacturing diagram. Also, don't chat privately. This thing will definitely not be taken out!"

"Well, that's a shame."

"What are you regretting about upstairs? Even if you buy it, you won't have anywhere to use it now!"

"Ignorance is not terrible, but ignorance and not knowing is the most terrible thing. You actually said that steam engines have no place to use?"

"That's right, I suggest you study history and see the significance of the steam engine to that era! It can be used in mining, smelting, textiles, machine manufacturing and other industries!"

"Well, having said that, you only have one steam engine, so you need other linkage devices to play its role!"

"You have been in this world for so long, don't you understand? Once this thing appears, it means that related things will appear one after another. Even steam engines have appeared, are the things that use it still far away?"

"Not far away, look at this, [Steam Spinning Machine Manufacturing Diagram]*1. I have seen the raw materials required for this manufacturing diagram, including a steam engine!"

"Yes, I also opened a steam mining machine, which I also need!"
