Chapter 257 Treatment and Artillery Pod

"I found something new... Ji?"

Miss Elf pushed open the door of the Small Sky Island Management Office, with unstoppable joy on her face. After seeing Ji Lin, she paused for a moment and became even more excited.

"Hey! Ji Lin, you are here just in time. I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong? Do you have anything good to report to me?"

Ji Lin saw Miss Elf's eyebrows slightly raised because of joy, was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile. He put down the half-drawn defense construction map of the large Sky Island in his hand, and put aside another preview map of the facilities of the Small Sky Island that had been drawn.

Chongshan did not lie to him. After he had endured for a period of time, he obviously had more free time in the arrangement of his work schedule. And he could barely make himself live a double-day weekend...

A double-day weekend that required on-call.

After he could rest, Ji Lin rushed to the Sky Island as soon as possible to take over the management of the Small Sky Island and re-plan and manage it.

Compared with the complicated and annoying official duties of the territory, the management of Xiaokong Island can be said to be refreshing and comfortable. You only need to deal with the reports and almost no affairs, and you can bask in the warm sun at the door for a whole day - this kind of good day only has two days a week.

When Ji Lin took over the management of Xiaokong Island, Chang Heng could relax and go to the super-large island to perform military tasks and start to strengthen the construction of the landing troops' camp.

As an officer, Chang Heng's architectural style is to include all buildings in the coverage of the outpost core. And this architectural planning style for defending against dangerous situations when he first arrived at Xiaokong Island has been used by him. The same is true for the farmland and residences that expanded with it, and they are placed wherever there is space.

When Ji Lin came to check the sky island, he saw a somewhat messy scene.

Taking some time to re-plan the construction of the sky island is part of his rest plan.

"So that's the situation..."

Ji Lin put down the drawing pen in his hand and listened to the elf lady's description of her new discovery, starting from her discovery of the elemental elves, then following their footsteps to find the stone pile, to the discovery of floating stone fragments...

She was a little surprised when she described her new discovery to him.

He couldn't help laughing when he heard that the forest spider secretly ran to bring back the floating stone ore to feed the mudstone element.

The forest spider, the elemental life and the elemental elves are all the natives of this island.

They are the culprits who caused the loss of a small amount of floating stone ore in the territory, but compared with the ability to recruit new troops/workers and improve security issues, this loss seems so insignificant.

They will no longer actively attack the staff of the territory. It can be said that the security issues from this island have been completely resolved...The danger from outside the island still exists.

At least the elf lady assured him so, and she also reached a contract with these elemental lives.

Ji Lin was originally worried that there would be creatures living on the cliffs of the sky island, and they couldn't clean up those places.

Now it seems that it is temporarily safe.

She invited Ji Lin to touch the mudstone element with which she had signed the contract.

Ji Lin reached out and touched the soft mud structure of the mudstone element, which was cold and soft. And it sat quietly on the ground, and Ji Lin also felt its "gaze", a gaze full of curiosity about himself. The plants and flowers stretched out on it made it look more like a mobile flower bed.

Before they grew into forest rock elements with thick rock armor and dangerous symbiotic plants, they still looked so clumsy and harmless.

Mudstone elements that grew into forest rock elements can independently kill armies without any armor-piercing ability, and it is not a problem to annihilate a standard infantry platoon in the territory in an encounter.

The armor is thick, and it has the ability to repair armor, and it also fights with more than five symbiotic plants.

Ji Lin shook his head and put down the hand that was stroking the mudstone element's abdomen. Several white clouds broke away from its body again and surrounded his fingertips. Ji Lin divided a trace of source material for them, and the elemental spirits immediately drilled back into the mudstone element's body.

He also wanted to feel the difference between the elemental elves in the Sky Island World and the elemental elves in the World Tree...

What a pity.

"So, let me raise these creatures, they are very safe!"

The elf lady nodded vigorously in front of him, shook her slender ears, and looked at him with expectation.

"If possible... give me more funds or something... it would be better if you could give me a few more magic plants?"

So she actually came to him to ask for money...

Ji Lin laughed and threw this strange idea out of his mind.

"Okay, let's discuss how much money is needed to raise so many things... and then provide you with funds according to this standard... Don't worry, I will give you a 50% increase in salary."

Anyway, Ji Lin didn't give her a very high salary, only 20 gold per month. If you have to calculate, her employment cost is not as much as the forest spiders and mudstone elements that eat three pieces of floating stone ore per month.

As for rewards...

"As for plants, you can pick three plants you like and take them away... but you can't pick unique ones!"

————

After seeing off the happy Elf Lady, Ji Lin sat on a chair and wanted to continue his drawing work. Suddenly he remembered that he should write a report for himself and keep it in the archives... This should be done by the Elf Lady.

However, with Forna's energetic and active personality...

Then he should write faster and more accurately.

A new knock on the door sounded, and a gray soldier pushed open the door and saluted him.

"Sir, the artillery pod has arrived and needs to be checked. Do you have time?"

Ji Lin looked at the pen he had just picked up, and then looked at the gray soldier who came to find him just after Miss Elf left, and drank a sip of water.

He stood up and followed the gray soldier out.

There is more than one good news today, which is great.

The airport built by the core of the outpost now has four Seagull-class carriers parked on the apron. The fifth newly arrived Seagull-class carrier is slowly landing from mid-air to the designated landing area under the command of the Army Aviation wearing an orange vest.

Its central pod is not a fully enclosed cargo hold, nor is it an infantry shooting pod composed of a large number of small roll-top shooting windows.

It is a brand new, square pod with two concave square plates on each side. Ji Lin soon realized that these recessed square plates were sliding plates that could slide inside and close them to improve the protection.

Open when needed to provide a shooting window for the artillery installed inside.

"Lord, this is the latest artillery pod delivered."

An officer ran over and said to him, and next to him was a student in a white and blue college uniform. The surprise on the face of the engineering college student had not completely faded. He had never thought that there was such a world outside the territory that he had never seen.

The world above the clouds.

"Lord, Mr. Lord! I am a member of the team responsible for the development of experimental No. 3 artillery!"

He took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement. The lord's words meant that the person standing in front of him was the highest leader of this territory. If it were changed to the concept of the Holy City, it should be a powerful figure in the position of a bishop.

And he was no longer the son of a tailor, with the fear of being out of the matter. He was a student engaged in metal casting and artillery research, making his own contribution.

He had only seen Ji Lin once, at the opening ceremony. Now that he saw him in person, he felt that he had a bit more military dignity and solemnity than at the opening ceremony.

He couldn't tell what it felt like. The lord just stood there, as if a flag was flying.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad guy."

Ji Lin smiled and used a joke to ease his nervousness.

"Tell me, what caliber of artillery is used in the finalized artillery pod?"
