Chapter 496 Letter
Ten days later, the vine island about 500 kilometers away from the No. 3 sky island town.
The small island covered with a layer of gray spots gradually moved to the green island with vines, approaching this special island that was four times its size.
The ruins island covered with a simple concrete barrier relied on its own sufficient mass to pass through the cumulonimbus area, and the lightning in it was powerless against the big stone that floated in actively.
The extremely dangerous cloud-dwelling creatures active in the cumulonimbus took a few bites, and after biting off a large piece of cement, they gave up the idea of continuing to attack the gray stone.
The soldiers in charge of the garrison had no interest in these high-risk cloud-dwelling creatures that could leave traces on concrete, because their bodies were not as hard as concrete.
The dark cumulonimbus area covered with heavy rain was their home ground. Fighting in this area with extremely poor vision and severely limited long-range weapons... the soldiers of the territory must have suffered.
The only thing that can cause trouble to the ruins island is the heavy rain in the cumulonimbus area. Ji Lin never thought that this ruins had no drainage facilities, which caused them to have to deal with the rain that kept flowing into the fortress area when they passed through the cumulonimbus area.
"Okay, the parallel position has been determined, and it is circling... It will take some time to dock, but fortunately this thing will not float around like these ruins."
This small island located between the two large airspaces will not move like the ruins island, they have a very stable operating area.
As long as the second fortress island is moved near the vine island, the resources on the vine island can be developed with the fortress island as the center.
They can adjust the position of the island at any time, adjust the docking point, and even use metal rods to safely throw the crab cage into the lush green forest of the vine island.
This way, they will not be attacked by the huge crustaceans on the vine island... After all, if they want to develop, it will generate a lot of noise...
Creatures in nature generally don't like "noise" very much, they will choose to deal with the source of noise in their own way.
"But, does this seem to be more efficient?"
Ji Lin touched his chin and looked at the two islands that had been docked.
He originally planned to use the island as a fortress, but now it seems to have more uses.
With the traction of the airship, the iron-gray material built a pier connecting the two islands, officially docking the two islands together.
The garrison is strengthening the protection of the original comprehensive supply station, leaving a docking port, where only a small number of soldiers will be stationed in the future.
The main work has been transferred to the safer large islands that can be controlled and moved by oneself.
This means that if he wants to develop the island, he does not need to spend a lot of money on each island as before.
The acquired ruins islands will be converted into "large industrial platforms", and the equipment on these large industrial platforms will be used to directly develop the target resources efficiently.
This will save a lot of initial investment costs... He doesn't even need to deploy garrisons on the islands for protection.
He only needs to deploy his troops on fixed "industrial platforms". These large sky islands with an area of more than one square kilometer have a modern aircraft carrier that cannot match.
Ji Lin can call on the sky islands in this way purely because he monopolizes almost all the floating stone output near the No. 3 sky island and has also eaten up a lot of resources from the sub-human pioneering team...
If it were an ordinary lord, he would have to save up for a year without food and drink to repair a small ruins sky island, and facing the astronomical resources to transform the sky island into a complete body...
After all the stationed personnel on the vine sky island were transferred from the vine sky island to the second fortress sky island prepared for the construction of the defense line, it means that the stationing mission has officially entered the long-term stage.
The next step is to wait for the territory to transport some heavy firepower through the airship and then install it on this fortress sky island. A fortress without heavy firepower cannot be called a fortress.
Perfect.
My own plan...design plan...and the accessories that can be installed on the ruins sky island...
No, that can't be considered an accessory, it should be considered a module? Or is it a building?
No matter how fast the territory's research speed is, it feels insufficient.
Ji Lin watched the gray-clad soldiers waving their hands and locked the trestle at the node left on the fortress, leaving a certain amount of space for the movement error during movement.
Avoid the bridge from breaking due to misalignment.
If the two sky islands are slightly offset, the force acting on the connection point is enough to tear a steel bridge to pieces.
In addition to the gray concrete buildings, there are soldiers carrying fruits and vegetables picked from the tree house... Li Yan's tree house can produce a lot of fruit, which can be provided for the soldiers on the fortress sky island.
It just so happens that the fortress sky island can't set aside an area to grow crops.
It's great to have such a sky island that provides food.
"Well, done, go back and make a plan!"
Ji Lin nodded with satisfaction and took out an orange from the basket brought by the soldiers.
However, he still lacks heavy machinery and equipment.
The characteristics of technological civilization after the fifth era are all kinds of heavy machinery driven by machinery. Medium-sized machinery and equipment used in the industrial field can increase productivity exponentially.
For example, the large impact drills and various mechanical equipment unique to the steam age. With these industrialized steam drilling equipment, the efficiency of resource extraction can be improved to a higher level.
A mineral concentrator is comparable to the hard work of a thousand miners.
As for the issue of pollution... The pollution caused by crystal mineral energy is smaller than that caused by sulfide coal, not to mention that he does not plan to build a city here.
It doesn't matter what the pollution is.
If they are afraid of pollution, they should not industrialize. Without industrialization, there will be no future.
Ji Lin stretched and saw something flashing in his right-click list...an email?
Click on it habitually.
The letter fell into his hands, instead of unfolding into a blue screen in the void as usual.
He froze for a moment, thinking about what felt wrong, and opened the folded envelope.
The handwriting is elegant and neat, but with a slightly hooked edge.
‘To Ji Lin, my dearest greeting. ’
‘Originally I wanted to provide you with a little help, but that thing said that you have reached the limit of what you should have at the moment. Excessive support is harmful rather than beneficial... so I must provide you with support within the range that you can accept and digest. ’
‘So this support can be regarded as belated support, phew, it was clearly promised that we can repay it. ’
'It seems you did something to loosen the aid cap... anyway...'
‘The relevant technical assistance and personnel assistance will arrive in fifteen standard days. There will be some technology we have seen before, but I have spent some time helping you modify it to suit your territory. ’
'Well, my work is done, so I have a little bit of vacation. ’
‘Where are the unnecessary greetings~ Let’s save them until then~’
'I love you, Mo Guiyu'
(terribly sorry!)
