Chapter 496: Secretly Contacting the Island Alliance
"This thing is definitely not as perfect as you said. What are the shortcomings?" Millia was still so direct.
Chi Nan sighed: "It is indeed not so perfect. After all, it needs to be released continuously, which is a huge test for the wind cannon shrub itself. If used continuously, it can only last for about 20 minutes at most. If used intermittently, it may be used for an hour, and then it needs to return to the airship mothership for repair."
"And with this bronze-level wind cannon acceleration device, the power required by the hummingbird fighter itself is twice as much as before, so the birth time will be extended by nearly twice, affecting the replenishment speed."
"Twice the time, it's not very long. Anyway, there are many hummingbird fighters on your airship."
Chi Nan nodded gently: "That's right, as long as it's not too intense and continuous battles, this growth rate should keep up. As for that kind of battle, we shouldn't encounter it in the short term."
Chi Nan was a little uncertain, but this was all he could do now. Chi Nan simply began to replace the hummingbird fighters on the airship mothership. The first thing to replace was the seeds and seed production room of the hummingbird fighters.
As for the other airship motherships, he could only wait until he returned. It would take more than a short time to replace all the two airship motherships.
"Sir, we have arrived at that broken continent. What should we do next?"
Chi Nan heard this and opened the window and looked down. It really looked like a broken continent. This island is too big. It is actually right to say that it is a continent. This is just one of them.
After thinking about it, Chi Nan said: "Let the destroyer fly out alone, pay attention to secrecy, we will go to a place where there are people first, find a remote place to start contacting them, and understand the situation here."
Chi Nan thought about it and said again: "At the same time, let our airship formation retreat, don't let them find it. Divide half of them, test the route problems along the way, and send the reports here back to the territory at the same time."
"Yes, sir." The voice of the airship commander came from all around, and soon assigned their respective tasks.
Chi Nan lived and ate on the airship mothership. When he was free, he walked around to help the airship mothership replace the hummingbird fighter system, and then a lot of information was sent from other soldiers.
This time, he wanted to contact and develop this new land, so Chi Nan brought a lot of soldiers and craftsmen. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do this kind of work with only one person on an airship like before.
"Island Alliance? This is the name here? But who are they going to fight against in the alliance?"
Chi Nan looked at the name and thought secretly in his heart. Sure enough, just as Chi Nan thought, there were kingdoms built on these large islands, and they seemed to have fought against each other before. But later, everyone formed an alliance.
In general, the formation of an alliance is possible only because of common interests or common enemies. They cannot contact the outside world here, and common interests do not exist. In order to survive, it is normal to compete for resources. So, who are their enemies? The soldiers themselves did not figure it out.
The language here is the same as the language used on the mainland. The difference is not very big. At most, the accent will be a little different.
The lives of the civilians are similar. On the large islands, many civilians farm and pay taxes. On the small islands, most people make a living by fishing.
Live by the sea, this is not a joke. The supplies on those large islands are not very scarce, but the small islands are different. The supplies here are still very scarce, and there are many things missing.
Because of the barrier of the islands, the cultures and directions developed on different islands are also different. The highest status here is also a mage, but it is indeed a water mage.
It seems that because of the environment here, the water system is the most among all mages, accounting for more than four-fifths, and the water mage has the greatest development in all aspects, while other types of mages are not so many.
The shipbuilding industry is also very developed. In Chi Nan's opinion, many ships here may not be worse than the plant battleships he made before, and may even be stronger. Sure enough, the plant battleships he made before were not enough to compete with them. What surprised Chi Nan the most was that the largest islands were actually family-based.
The three largest islands belong to three families, namely the Kalan Family, the Sea King Family, and the Beast King Family.
Except for the Kalan Family, which is the most commercially developed family, the other two families have changed their original surnames. The Sea King Family is said to be the most powerful family of wizards in the Island Alliance.
As for the Beast King Family, it is said to be a family of beast trainers, able to train a large number of sea beasts for their use. These three powerful families each occupied the largest island and became the most powerful existence here.
Although they are only families as units, they are much more powerful than the surrounding island kingdoms. The Island Alliance is basically run by these three families, and there is also a large island with few people on it.
After the soldiers learned about it, they found out that one of the four large islands was difficult to approach because of the mountains around it, as well as the large number of undercurrents and reefs along the island. Only some people who were not sure whether they were lucky or unlucky stepped on the island and multiplied, but they could never leave.
That island was full of mountains and forests, and full of monsters, which was very dangerous. Even though the three major families had organized many explorations to turn that large island into their own territory, they could not succeed.
It is said that the last exploration was more than two hundred years ago. The loss was too great, and no one continued to explore it. Such a large island was actually abandoned by them.
After getting this news, Chi Nan's eyes lit up. "Maybe, we don't have to clash with the locals to gain a foothold. This island will be the foundation of our development in the future."
You know, the overall area of that island is several times that of the Kingdom of Rusyaala, and Chi Nan doesn't care even if it is mountainous. Because from the air, the so-called mountains are only in the coastal areas, and there are large plains in the middle.
No wonder this large island was the least populated. This was the reason. The harsh environment made it difficult for the people here to develop civilization. They were almost like savages.
