Chapter 276 Outpost and Mobile Plan

After inspecting the entire hall, Ji Lin saw that there was another identical door hidden directly opposite the door he had entered. It was like a passage that went deeper into the interior, or a passage that led to somewhere.

Unable to start.

Let the follow-up personnel think of a way.

It takes a lot of time and technology to pry open a door weighing several tons... What's more, they can only use manpower now, and the steam engine is still under development.

Clicking on the special blueprint interface, Ji Lin checked the special blueprint provided by the system for him to use only in this fragment world.

He raised his eyebrows. This special blueprint gave...

'Island-level floating stone drive engine'

'Unlocked when you have at least one floating stone engine, unlocked. '

'Consumption: 500 units of floating stone, 500 units of steel, 500 units of wood. '

'If we enlarge these things and connect them to the core in the ruins. Let it take over and adjust the direction, then this sky island can slowly move in one direction. We can't do this without the core of the ruins. The movement speed of the island is determined by the current size of the island. ’

The island-level floating stone drive engine is undoubtedly the most important one among all the special blueprints. Ji Lin took a quick look at the other special blueprints. Most of these special blueprints rely on the blue ruins core found on the sky island to operate normally.

Its function is simple and clear. After the drive engine is built, the island under your feet can move slowly. It is expensive. One engine needs to consume the floating stone output of the small sky island for four months, which is equivalent to four airships.

Ji Lin only hopes that this drive engine can play its due role.

It is considered successful if it can move at a speed of more than 0.5km per hour.

‘Basic energy conversion device’

‘A basic energy conversion device, usually through inefficient combustion to provide energy for the ruins core and ancillary buildings. ’

‘Consumption: 400 steel, 5 units of element crystal. ’

Ji Lin’s eyes twitched. Why are the blueprints provided by the system so expensive that people have no desire to continue to look at them?

In other words, if he really wants to make the floating island move, he needs to take out an additional 400 steel and 5 units of element crystal. The territory can still take out this floating stone with a bit of effort, and the monthly output is limited.

The source of income must be increased.

‘Floating stone base’

‘Unlocked when you have at least one floating stone engine, unlocked. ’

‘A floating stone base that is remotely controlled and bound by the core of the ruins so that it can move with the island. You can build various defense facilities on it to increase the all-round defense capabilities. ’

‘Consumption: 100 floating stones, 200 stones’

‘Loading capacity: 100 tons, can be built multiple times to stack up’

The floating stone base is a good thing, 100 floating stones for 100 tons of load. You must know that the current utilization efficiency of floating stones in the territory is only 4-5 units of floating stones to obtain one ton of load. You can build defense facilities that can only be used near the core of the ruins at a lower price. The disadvantage is that it can only be used near the core of the ruins.

But it is still useless to Ji Lin.

‘Air feeding ground. ’

‘Unlocked when you have at least one plant that can be used to feed cloud creatures, unlocked. It cannot coexist with the aerial hunting ground on the same island. The coexistence of the two will have a serious impact on the efficiency of both. ’

‘You can feed the cloud creatures here to attract them to gather here, and slowly improve the relationship between your own forces and the sky island creatures... They are less likely to attack you actively, of course, only for herbivorous creatures. If your goal is not to hunt them, they will be happy to get along with you. ’

‘Aerial Hunting Ground’

‘When you have at least one siege weapon that can be used on a ship, it has been unlocked. It cannot coexist with the aerial feeding ground on the same island. The coexistence of the two will have a serious impact on the efficiency of both. ’

‘You can build a high-speed but incapable wandering fishing boat here. Use a special artillery net to hunt the cloud creatures that approach, which will increase the cloud creatures' vigilance against you and cause the sky island/ship to be attacked. Gentle creatures will also show their fangs when they are threatened. ’

The cost of both buildings is 200 wood and 100 stone.

Ji Lin's eyes lit up. Finally, there is a building that is cheap and he can build now.

No need for floating stones yet.

Reducing resources to improve relations and reducing relations to obtain biological resources... Interesting.

After memorizing all the blueprint information, Ji Lin opened the information panel and began to check the upgrade options belonging to the outpost core.

'Outpost core'

'It can be upgraded and directly upgraded to an outpost base with the characteristics of the current territory civilization, consuming 2,000 units of steel, 4,000 units of stone, and 4,000 units of wood. ’

'Expand the construction projection range to the current range of the sky island. ’

'After upgrading to an outpost base, it will completely anchor the area. The outpost base cannot be moved and redeployed. Are you sure?'

The outpost base that cannot be moved is really nostalgic.

When they were on expedition missions, they used various types of customized outposts the most.

Ji Lin looked around and looked at this island covered with green grass. Soon it would be covered with stone and steel.

There are a lot of resources. The two thousand units of steel in the outpost base are already twice the resources he has invested in the construction of the sky island world. But more importantly, once the outpost base is upgraded, the outpost core cannot be redeployed unless it is actively downgraded to the outpost core to return it to mobile status.

After confirming the removal of the outpost core of the undead lord, the cruise fleet consisting of two artillery cruisers and four carriers cleared the nearby sky islands one by one.

Every sky island within their 24-hour range was carefully patrolled and inspected.

In addition to the undead lord who was defeated in the air encounter, the cruise fleet also found two other open areas with traces of activity. But these open areas were abandoned early, with only houses covered with vines and turned into local creatures' nests, and veins that were obviously cleared but now controlled by a small number of native creatures.

These emptied veins have reappeared a lot of floating stone ore after months of accumulation.

These mineral veins provide Ji Lin with a new way to obtain floating stones. He can periodically clean up the creatures stationed on the floating stone veins on nearby islands and weaken the scale of creatures on the islands. When the floating stones are full, patrols and miners will be sent to collect the mineral veins.

Just like taking care of plants, wait until they bear fruit before harvesting.

In this way, they don't need to stay in one place for a long time for defense, and they can also obtain abundant additional floating stones.

To determine whether a camp is abandoned, it depends on whether there are traces of outpost cores nearby.

Without the core, there are no extended nodes. The lord will directly lose the ability to deliver, and even the ability to recall will be cut off.

All the actions of the lord outside the territory must rely on the core. If the core collapses. It means that the accompanying troops will not get any supplies during the month when the core is running, and double permissions will be consumed when resurrecting.

The penalty for losing the outpost core in the world mission is not serious, but in the expedition mission, losing the core means that this unit will never have the opportunity to be recalled again.

Every leader of the expeditionary army also died because of this.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Lin removed these complicated thoughts from his mind.

Click the upgrade button and deduct the resources from the warehouse. Light streams descended from the sky, and thick and heavy fortresses made of steel and cement began to be built along the sky island. The captive adventurers looked at this wonder from the sky with some surprise. They had seen a building being built in the light stream.

But the light stream covering one-fifth of the entire sky island surprised even the officers who were still working.

Ji Lin's primary goal was to stabilize his two islands, one large and one small, and complete the control and development of the resources that had been eliminated from external interference.

The help of a movable fortress to him was self-evident.

Cultivate the one-third acre of land in your hands.

However, Ji Lin was still very curious about what other lords in the fragmented world were doing...

He only defeated an elf lord and killed an undead lord, so whose camp was the last one?
