Chapter 494: The Situation in Various Places on Sky Island...
No. 3 Sky Island, Sky Island Fortress.
The original controlled ruins core is fading away the green that was originally wrapped around it. The dark gray steel and concrete buildings are eroding the original green plants on the island. A large number of fixed artillery are installed on the turrets to ensure that there are no blind spots for defense.
The floating platform that can only move around the fortress is also equipped with a large number of fixed artillery, and a part of the ready-made arcane focus launcher is installed as a supplement to the firepower... The arcane focus generator is sometimes used to clear the overly vigorous vines at the bottom of the sky island, and the thermal light beam plays its due cutting function.
The remaining green plants on the island belong to the "experimental plant cultivation field". This area is mainly managed by the elf lady from the territory, who cultivates more economic crops that meet the needs of the territory in the sky island world with sufficient elemental energy.
She needs an absolutely safe environment, and there is no environment safer than the fortress itself.
And the conventional plant cultivation... has been relocated due to some special reasons.
The existence of the Sky Island Fortress can prevent any large-scale landing, bombing, and looting, and protect the nearby urban areas in the barrier.
Urban area
This fortress, which expanded from the core of the outpost, surrounds the development buildings belonging to the territory of the super-large sky island No. 3.
A development outpost that is moving towards a small town.
The sky island military outpost, which originally had only 1,500 people stationed, was divided into multiple areas as the foreign population increased... The garrison of the territory designated a part of the space as a residential area, allowing residents from another world to live here for a long time.
Let these sub-humans work for the territory.
Looking down from the sky, you can see a large area of newly built regular gray buildings, which have vaguely shown signs of being a prosperous town.
Residential area, market area, agricultural area.
There are not many areas that can be used for farming on small sky islands, but the only thing that super-large sky islands are not short of is various small plains that can be cultivated... At most, a piece of farmland can be cleared with fire.
As the scale of buildings continues to expand, the territory has no way to continue to conceal its existence... In other words, the cost of hiding is higher than the cost of exposing its identity.
A small sky island with a large number of steel and concrete buildings, a large number of dark gray floating ships leaving and returning to the port, and long industrial platforms, revealing the nature of their man-made creations to all witnesses without any cover-up.
Anyone who is not blind can see the difference from a normal sky island, but now the territory with sufficient firepower does not need to hide its production work.
Production.
Maintain production, maintain the collection of rare resources and rare plants, and maintain the regular mining of floating stone veins.
The resources mined from the expedition world are eventually fed back to the territory, allowing the territory to continue in a stage of rapid development.
To expand production and expand the scale of collection.
Let the territory complete the first round of industrial iterations and let the crystal rune steam engine replace the original production model.
Everything needs population.
The sub-humans are a relatively suitable population. Except for some animal characteristics in their bodies, they are not much different from normal people... Not to mention that they have quite good endurance.
After a certain education, the sub-humans can undertake most of the production work... Their brains are much better than guys like ratmen and goblins.
The system did not show any attitude towards the lord's behavior of plundering and assimilating the population to improve the territory.
It will still provide the lord with normal population supply step by step.
The expedition world provides resources for the territory... population is also a resource.
It provides a stable population that is easy to integrate into each territory. As for the other populations that the lord gets himself... don't come to it to solve it if it gets out of control...
It won't help solve it.
Population is also part of the resources, so you must be prepared to bear the cost of using resources.
For an emerging city that no longer considers hiding itself, in addition to the working population, there will also be trade caravans that will never be lacking.
Officially, there is no sky island here, nor any other forces.
There are no ports belonging to other forces here.
For the pioneers of the subhuman world, the sky island city of the territory is officially... non-existent.
But the two cities do have a lot of close trade exchanges.
Even some of the navigation route maps and resources have been circulated in the city built by the subhumans on Sky Island No. 1... No one knows where these route maps came from.
The governor sent by the subhuman world to develop this world was very happy. He found that he didn't have to provide jobs for these untouchables, and he could get a large tariff on trade.
The governor was unable to provide jobs for these people. No jobs meant that these people were "worthless".
At City, the first city built by the subhumans in this world, is located on Sky Island No. 1 at the other end of the airspace.
More than 300,000 people have settled in this city, and the resources flowing every day are counted in thousands of tons.
The residents and entrepreneurs of At City are also very happy. They came here to make money. Now there are a bunch of subhumans with money in their pockets and... who cares.
Money is the boss.
As for troubles... no one cares.
Chang Heng, who is in charge of the management of Sky Island, is also very happy. The financial report of Sky Island has increased by 100% in one month, and they do not need to organize a special purchasing team to smuggle resources for trade.
Opening the port can bring more sufficient materials to the territory. The production department of the territory only needs to place a purchase order, and there will be a subhuman captain who will send the resources from afar.
After the trade is completed, some of the territory's specialties will be shipped back.
Who would not be happy?
That is the other lords who came to this world. They chose to cooperate with the governor and prepared to rebel.
Now they are being exploited three times.
The subhuman consumer market that they should have controlled and made a lot of profits has been hit by a large amount of materials produced by Jilin's territory. Products that could have earned 100 yuan are now only 75 yuan under the impact of the market.
They are basically all produced by handicraft workshops, and the profit margin is completely incomparable with Jilin's partially industrialized products!
The governor will take away 50% of the resource tax from the Sky Island they control. After the resource tax, trade will also be subject to trade tax separately...This is the cost of the governor's "turning a blind eye" to them.
Finally, they planned to cultivate the land for a long time and make great achievements.
Pointing at the governor's nose and cursing: "Old Governor, we exploit you so cruelly on weekdays! Today I will let you learn a lesson!"
Then I found that although the governor could not send a fleet across the airspace to sanction Ji Lin...but the governor could really drive a cruiser to their heads to sanction them.
The governor, who had sufficient tax revenue, dispatched troops to suppress...they could not defeat them for the time being.
