Chapter 291 Construction of Sky Island Station

"Hey, Hackett, I haven't seen you in a long time."

The man in a white chef's uniform waved his hand. Next to him, there was a platoon of thirty soldiers washing dishes with their heads lowered under the leadership of the platoon leader.

Manpower is scarce on empty islands, and even soldiers need to wear multiple hats.

"This is a dinner plate...is there a place to put it around here?"

Hackett coughed slightly, he was not used to the enthusiasm of these people.

"Just put it aside...Is this the new guy?"

The chef shrugged and his eyes fell on the gray-eared middle-aged man who was a head taller than him following Hackett.

Hackett nodded to him and placed the wooden bucket that was originally used to hold apples but was now filled with tableware in his hand on the ground.

"The food you cook is delicious."

Tuokas noticed that his eyes fell on him, and he struggled to organize his words to reply.

"Of course, the lord transferred me from his territory because he thought my cooking was the most delicious."

Hearing Tuokas' praise, the chef nodded with a smile on his face. He turned around and walked to the basket piled next to him. He took two plump berries with slightly wrinkled skin and stuffed them into their hands.

"Here, the berries that were just delivered yesterday are kept here before they are sent to the cold storage. Don't look at the wrinkled skin of the fruit. Wrinkled fruit means that it is sweet."

Tuokas thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the relationship between the wrinkled skin of the berry and the sweetness of the fruit was.

After walking out of the kitchen, their attention was immediately attracted by the bright fire not far away. The ground crew in the distance waved their torches and used the fire piles on the ground as markers to guide the aerospace ship to land on the ground from the air.

The thirty-meter-long floating ship loomed in the night, and its hazy back was reflected in the firelight.

"That's an airport. It has similar functions to the airport in Yate City. But there are fewer people here and it's not that prosperous. The permanent population should be between 800 and 1,000 people."

Hackett explained to Tokas as he tried to put on his military cap. He pressed his ears, took off his hat, folded it and put it in his pocket.

He must report to the manager that their hats press against his ears abnormally, and if he wears such hats for a long time, he will turn into a wolf with folded ears.

He still likes the feeling of being able to shake his ears freely.

Without wearing a hat, the workers and farmers working in the camp would all look at him with curiosity mixed with a little fear.

They call themselves monsters, and they call themselves monsters, a kind of demi-human with ears and tails. Whether it was him or the bard and scholar lady who were taller and better looking, these commoners were all treated equally.

Hackett's hearing is very sensitive, and he can hear some discussions.

‘Don’t take it seriously, they just want to find a corresponding image in their memory. They have no ill intentions towards you. ’

The platoon leader in charge of them said this, and at the same time gave Hackett a portion of the pastry in his hand. A delicate dessert that was completely different from cakes, its sweet yet silky taste captured his heart right away.

The aerospace ship in the distance stopped steadily at a height of ten centimeters from the ground, opened the baffle, and several figures jumped off the aerospace ship.

Hackett said uncertainly.

"That fleet should be the fleet that went to your crash site to recover the remaining personnel. They are back now, and they should be bringing your people back with them."

Tokas' eyes twitched. The rescue fleet they were waiting for had arrived, but it was not their side's rescue fleet.

Don't know if it's good or bad.

"The northeast of the station is the planting area. There are more than a dozen fruit trees planted there... The fruits I just sent you were picked there."

"There is a special hot water room on the side near the lake, but I see that there is no bathhouse in the room they gave you. You should be allowed to wash it yourself?"

"Directly north of the station is the armory. Don't go there if you have nothing to do. Entry is prohibited there."

——————

Ji Lin retracted his gaze from the window, sighed softly, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

"Lord, this is the new acceptance plan."

Chang Heng stood in front of him and placed a brand new report on his desk.

Auxiliary Army.

Adventurers are variations of mercenaries, so why can't they be recruited into the territory as a combat population?

Compared with soldiers who are good at group combat in open areas, adventurers have rich experience in fighting in small formations and can move through the forest at a much higher speed than ordinary soldiers.

They will provide these auxiliary troops with weapons specific to their territory and train them to be excellent scouts.

Without the weapons in the territory, the abilities of these soldiers are greatly reduced.

This is the plan submitted by Chang Heng for Ji Lin to accept the demi-humans, so that these adventurers are willing to join the territory as special combat units. Once their service period is over, they are officially granted citizenship of the territory, allowing them to live like normal people.

They can choose to remain in the army or be re-educated and integrated into the territory.

In any case, during their three years of service, the territory can well examine their loyalty and conduct.

"Are there any difficulties with management direction?"

Ji Lin tapped the table and looked at the swaying torches outside the window.

This tallest building in the station overlooks the entire airport, watching the steel structures rise and fall at their berths, disappearing into the clouds.

"According to this plan, we plan to assign a formal officer to command and supervise every thirty people. We can conduct a small-scale trial first, and then popularize it after the foreign population increases. This plan needs to be studied."

Ji Lin nodded, tacitly agreeing to his plan.

His eyes fell on the rune lamp on the table for lighting.

Rune lamps are luxury products. Most of the time, they prefer to use cheap and brighter fires outdoors, and oil lamps indoors.

The inventory of rune lamps purchased cheaply from the Holy City is running out, and all the production capacity of the territory has its own corresponding direction.

He wanted to go through Alicia's path to purchase again, and he didn't know why the other party could help him find an internal price that was almost the cost price-he asked the old bishop to assist in purchasing at two gold coins.

Speaking of runes, Ji Lin suddenly remembered the report he read in the afternoon. The ship the explorer team took was an armed exploration ship carrying weapons.

"I saw them report that there are three small arcane focusers on the fallen frigate. If possible, the academy hopes to hoist the entire frigate over to them."

Or the academy simply does not believe in the dismantling ability of these soldiers, thinking that their carelessness will damage the delicate parts.

However, Ji Lin thinks that the ground crew responsible for the maintenance of the airship are quite capable, and dismantling things is absolutely no problem.

"This may be difficult. We can repair some of the airship stone engines to provide some basic lift for the ship, and then use the airship to hang and tow the frigate to the base."

Chang Heng quickly estimated the distance on his notebook.

"Then ask the academy to send staff to repair it."
