Chapter 184 Engineering
The boat was moving very fast, leaving a long white wave on the sea, just like someone had used a pair of sharp scissors to cut a long slit in the gauze.
"There was a human wearing a bamboo hat standing on the boat. He was not rowing, but crossing his hands in his clothes on his chest."
"There were lobster people in front of the boat. It turned out that the reason why the boat was moving so fast was because there was a team of lobster people in the water pulling the boat forward with their bodies."
Yang Yi used the Eagle Eye Technique to see the situation clearly.
"What is this show? In the middle of the night, who is this person pretending to be cool with his hands crossed?"
Yang Yi was full of doubts on this side, and soon a group of lobster people surrounded the boat on the other side.
The human on the boat was facing the direction of Warrior Island. He pulled his right hand out of his clothes on his chest and pushed up the bamboo hat on his head with his right hand.
This human seemed to be observing the situation on Warrior Island.
Not long after, the human seemed to have made a decision. He pointed forward with his right hand, and the lobster people around him immediately dispersed.
The lobstermen surrounding the humans were leaders of all sizes. The next moment, these lobstermen led the team to attack Warrior Island.
"I've never heard of humans and lobstermen mixing together. And how come this human looks like the master of the lobstermen? The lobstermen completely obey the command of this human. This is really strange."
Yang Yi felt more and more that he must find out the situation of this human, so he used the stealth skill again to dive towards the boat, wanting to get more information.
After the stealth skill is activated, not only can no big movements be made, but the movement speed will be slowed down.
As a result, before Yang Yi slowly approached the sailless boat, the human on the boat waved again, and a team of lobstermen in the water immediately pulled the boat to make a gorgeous U-turn, and then the boat returned the same way.
Before Yang Yi could get close enough to use the Lord's Eye, the boat went far away.
"Oh my god! Since you've ordered the lobstermen to start a war, can't you watch the battle on Warrior Island before leaving? Let me finish reading the attributes. Will I die if I pretend to be cool later?!"
Yang Yi could only look at the sailless boat that was quickly going away and complained.
More than 300 lobstermen attacked Warrior Island from all sides of Warrior Island, and more than 200 South China Sea pirates on Warrior Island were completely panicked.
Since the pirate ship was robbed by the fishmen, this group of South China Sea pirates was besieged on the island by the fishmen. Anyone who dared to cross the sea and escape was dragged into the water by the fishmen and their lives were unknown. The pirates were frightened on the island for nearly ten days. The food was slowly consumed. Not only were they starving and cold, but they also had to be on edge every night to listen to the strange cries of the fishmen coming from all sides of the island.
These pirates had long lost their morale. Now facing the lobstermen who outnumbered them and were naturally heavily armed, the pirates mustered up the courage to resist in order to survive, but they were no match for the lobstermen.
The lobstermen relied on their thick shells and huge bodies to charge around the island, smashing the pirates' last line of defense into pieces.
The lobstermen were not equipped with weapons, but their huge claws and powerful lobster tails became the most deadly weapons at this time, knocking down and slapping the pirates one by one.
Yang Yi watched in the sea as the lobstermen quickly disintegrated the pirates' defenses on the island with a devastating force, and then beat the pirates like toys.
"Tsk tsk, the lobstermen are still a very powerful race. They are like heavy infantry. If used well, they are invincible and are the backbone of the battlefield."
Yang Yi also wondered when Ratchet Town would have such a powerful heavy-armored fishman infantry. After all, the lobsterman slaves could only be driven to charge or used as human shields to resist attacks. If there were more tactical changes, they had to rely on heavy-armored fishman infantry.
On Warrior Island, after several charges by the lobstermen, the defensive line of the pirate organization was completely torn apart, and the lobstermen completely took the initiative.
Yang Yi thought that the lobstermen would go on a killing spree and kill these pirates. Unexpectedly, after the lobstermen killed and eliminated the most fiercely resisting pirates, they did not continue to attack, but used their numerical advantage to surround the pirates.
"The purpose of these lobstermen is to capture pirates alive!"
Yang Yi realized that the purpose of these lobstermen was on the pirates.
"What do these slippery shell lobstermen do by capturing pirates alive? Ratchet Town came to recruit pirates because they seized the pirate ship and let these pirates go back to be sailors to operate the pirate ship, but the lobstermen did not seem to have any reason to need these pirates. Could it be that they were captured dead and fed to the crayfishmen?"
Yang Yi could not guess.
In addition to the two large and powerful lobster claws, the lobstermen also have six small lobster claws near the head. These small lobster claws can complete many delicate operations, so the lobstermen are actually all masters of binding.
Soon, the surviving South China Sea pirates were tied up one by one, and then lifted above their heads by those people and left Warrior Island, swimming away from the water.
Only when it was confirmed that all the slippery lobster people had left and the sea near Warrior Island was calm again, did Yang Yi anchor the Wuxin on the coast of Warrior Island.
Mojimus brought the pirate first mate Mask to Warrior Island. Originally, Yang Yi's purpose was to let Mask come to Warrior Island to recruit pirates. Now, the pirates on the island were killed and robbed by the slippery lobster people, and none of them were left.
First mate Mask looked at the desolate scene after the lobster people swept Warrior Island, and looked at the pirate bodies lying on the ground, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic.
Yang Yi asked Mojimus to bring Mask over, and he asked: "What is the relationship between your pirate group and the lobster people?"
Mask shook his head quickly: "Master Fishman, our pirate group has nothing to do with the lobster people."
Yang Yi observed Mask and felt that he should not lie. He asked again: "Then what is the conflict between your pirate group and the fish people?"
Mask was stunned for a moment and did not dare to answer.
"I mean before meeting our thorny fish people, have you ever dealt with the blackfin fish people nearby?"
Yang Yi remembered that when he came to Warrior Island to rob the pirate ship, he happened to encounter the blackfin fish people and also attacked the pirates on Warrior Island.
"Master Fishman, our pirate group often encounters fish people when sailing in the sea. But the pirate group usually avoids areas where fish people are active, because fish villages are usually just troubles, and there is nothing worth robbing for us pirates."
"That's strange. Your pirate ship docked at Warrior Island and was attacked by blackfin fish people and slippery shell lobster people one after another. Is it just because of bad luck?" Yang Yi questioned.
"Master Murloc..." Musk was about to cry when he heard this. He thought to himself, you Murloc, you forgot to say that we also met your Thorntooth Murloc.
After answering Yang Yi's question, Musk was taken to the Heartless by the Murloc again. Yang Yi looked at the quiet Warrior Island and thought about another question.
In the lottery at the beginning of this month, Yang Yi won three major prizes, namely, coral reefs, fish herding murloc training camps, and murloc underwater mount training grounds, and three construction drawings. These three buildings are all level 1 buildings in the town. There are only two level 4 murloc builders in the Ratchet Town, and they are currently building the murloc underwater mount training ground and coral reefs.
Yang Yi also got the tasks on the three scrolls corresponding to the three construction drawings, which are to eliminate 300 South China Sea pirates, occupy Warrior Island, and kill Baron Longshaw.
Because completing the scroll task has an additional chance to directly choose the reward in addition to the lottery opportunity, so of course Yang Yi first thought about completing the task on the scroll.
Now it seems that the task of eliminating 300 South China Sea pirates is difficult to complete, and Yang Yi does not intend to do the task of killing Baron Langshall, not only because there is another task to rescue Baron Langshall, but more importantly, he promised Captain Mojitov in the town not to kill Langshall.
"Now it seems that only the task of occupying Warrior Island can be completed. It seems that we have to find fishmen to complete this occupation task like the Dead Water Oasis."
Yang Yi also has a [Architecture Drawing: Attached Fishman Town Center] in his hand. This drawing was obtained when Ratchet Village was upgraded to Ratchet Town. Before, it was considered to be used in the Dead Water Fishman Village in the Dead Water Oasis, but the threat of the centaurs in the Dead Water Oasis could not be eliminated. Yang Yi did not want to waste this attached town center drawing, so he hesitated and did not use the drawing.
"However, this Warrior Island does not look very safe. Originally, this location is very easy to be attacked by pirates. Today, it seems that the Slippery Shell Lobster Man is also a big threat."
Yang Yi thought about it and decided to complete the task first, just like the occupation task of the Dead Water Oasis. When Warrior Island or Dead Water Oasis has a long-term stable environment in the future, we will consider the use of the attached town center drawings.
Warrior Island is south of the entrance to the Ratchet Bay and west of the Commercial Coast. This place is also a strategic location that Yang Yi plans to occupy with the Ratchet Fishmen. Defending Warrior Island means controlling the Ratchet Bay and the Commercial Coast.
However, the number of fishmen in Ratchet Town is limited at present, with only more than 3,000 adult fishmen in total. Not only should we develop and protect Ratchet Town, but we should also send 300 combat fishmen and a large number of construction fishmen to build the Dead Water Fishman Village in Dead Water Oasis.
At present, it is difficult for Ratchet Town to draw enough fishmen to garrison Warrior Island, let alone send construction fishmen to carry out large-scale construction.
So Yang Yi's purpose this time is very simple, which is to simply complete the task of occupying Warrior Island and slowly develop this island in the future.
The task of occupying Warrior Island requires the flag of the Ratchet Fishmen. Fortunately, Yang Yi came to complete the task at the beginning, so he had prepared the flag long ago.
Soon, Mojimus and a team of fishmen came down from the Wuxin with the flag of the Thorntooth fishmen. Yang Yi asked them to disperse and plant flags on all sides of Warrior Island.
Warrior Island is not a big island, with a radius of less than ten kilometers.
There are no other forces on Warrior Island. As long as the flag of the Thorntooth fishmen is planted, the occupation can be completed. A dozen fishmen spread out with flags, and soon Yang Yi heard the prompt sound of the completion of the task of occupying Warrior Island.
"Ding!"
"Complete the task of "occupying Warrior Island" within 20 days. You can choose the task reward and reward one chance to draw a lottery."
Yang Yi had seen the four rewards for the task of occupying Warrior Island before, and none of the four was particularly satisfactory to him, so this time he hesitated for a while and then chose a building blueprint.
This is a construction blueprint of [Architecture Blueprint: Pier (Town Level 1)].
Yang Yi chose the construction blueprint of the pier again. The pier of Ratchet Town is already a village level 3, and after upgrading it to a town level 1 pier.
The pier is the first building in the entire Ratchet Town, except for the Murloc Town Center, that was built using the building blueprints drawn from the lottery. For a long time, because there were no sailboats in Ratchet Town, the pier was mostly Yang Yi's fishing platform.
Now that Ratchet Town has several sailboats, the pier can finally be put to good use.
Yang Yi's goal is to continue to expand the scale of the Ratchet Town sailing fleet, so he chose the construction drawings of the dock.
Yang Yi took a quick look at the construction drawings of the dock, and then he immediately entered the mysterious space to draw the lottery.
After upgrading to a small town, the three village-level discs have disappeared, and now there is only one disc.
Yang Yi does not need to choose, he starts the lottery directly.
The pointer turns and stops at Area 5, which is a professional textbook.
[Engineering Notes]
[General Professional Textbooks]
[Required Conditions: Engineering Workshop]
[Item Description: Records the basic structural diagram of engineering]
[System Effect: Increase the success rate of learning engineering]
PS: [Engineering]
[Skill Description: Collect various metals and stones, and assemble them to produce various practical gadgets and mechanical equipment. ]
[Skill Effect: Manufacture engineering products such as explosives, firearms, telescopes, bullets, mechanical dragons, etc.]
Yang Yi exited the lottery space, he looked at the requirements of the [Engineering Notes] in his hand, and found that an engineering workshop was needed.
"The engineering workshop is not a big problem. I remember that there are still things in the engineering workshop hidden in Ratchet Town. The racial specialties of the goblins include alchemy and engineering. The engineering workshop was discovered when the ruins of the goblin Ratchet City were first searched."
Yang Yi thought about it. It was a long time ago. Now the things in the engineering workshop have been dismantled. It is estimated that they are hidden in a cave that no one cares about and are covered with dust.
After reading [Engineering Notes], Yang Yi checked the task scrolls that came with this textbook.
"The task is to build Warrior Island. One of the four task rewards is [Architectural Drawing: Engineering Workshop (Town Level 1)]. This is a good thing!"
When Yang Yi saw the task reward, the fishman's eyes lit up. He was determined to get [Architectural Drawing: Engineering Workshop (Town Level 1)].
Engineering can make various firearms, explosives and robots, and even make airplanes and tanks. Yang Yi is very eager.
[Engineering Notes] is to train engineers, and the engineering workshop is a factory for engineers to mass-produce engineering products. The appearance of these two things at the same time means that all the conditions for developing engineering are met. This is simply a stroke of luck.
The fishmen don’t have very good brains, but their fingers are dexterous, and there are many fishmen who have the specialty of dexterous hands. Yang Yi thought that even if the thorny fishmen could not become engineering inventors in the future, they could probably be engineering laborers. .
