Chapter 704 Population Explosion and Prelude to the War
After the goblins opened trade with the Dawn Continent, they began to explore further seas. With their current alchemy warships and the Dawn Continent as a transit station, they are fully capable of exploring further.
They sailed all the way east, passed through the vast endless sea, and arrived at a completely unfamiliar sea area.
There are frequent storms here, and tsunamis gather from time to time, even forming a huge whirlpool with no end in sight in the middle of the sea. If you are not careful, you will be swept in, and people and ships will be destroyed.
Moreover, there are not only dangers around the maelstrom, but also countless powerful monsters.
If humans or orcs had arrived here, they might have returned the same way they came. However, goblins are full of adventurous spirit, and almost most of the waterways in the Western Fantasy World are now opened up by their adventures.
Seeing this situation, under the leadership of Ocean Fleet Commander Oger, he took a huge risk and crossed the maelstrom.
By the time they passed through the maelstrom and reached safe waters, the ocean-going fleet had lost half of its ships and manpower.
Not long after the goblins mourned their fallen comrades, they discovered a new continent appeared in the distance.
When the goblins landed on this continent, they immediately discovered that this continent was still in a primitive state. Apart from forest vegetation and magical beasts, there were no other intelligent creatures.
While Og ordered people to station on the continent and sent airships to explore the interior, he divided the fleet into two, one on the left and one on the right, sailing along the continent to search for any intelligent creatures that existed.
After searching for a while, the goblins were surprised to find that this continent seemed to have no signs of other biological activities, and it was completely an uncultivated continent.
This continent has fertile land and countless mineral resources, which is like a treasure house.
The goblins were going crazy, and Og immediately ordered an alchemy ship to return to the Kingdom of Bua on the Alvin continent and report the news to the king and parliament.
After this news was spread back to the Buya Kingdom, the entire goblin clan was in a state of excitement.
Unlike the mermaid clan who desperately encourage childbirth, the goblins are now practicing family planning...
The reproductive ability of goblins is too strong, and with the continuous ocean trade, most goblins have become rich, so they can feed any number of children they have.
It doesn't matter if there's not enough food, just go to other continents and other races to buy it.
The consequence of this was a huge explosion in the goblin population, and all undeveloped areas of the Alvin continent were occupied by them.
Over the past few decades, goblins have spread to every corner of the Alvin continent.
As long as it is an undeveloped area, they will directly lay the railway over it and then develop and build it aggressively.
Needless to say, it caused damage to the ecological environment. In the end, it also had frequent conflicts with elves and trolls, causing constant friction.
In the end, Queen Irelia of the Moon Elf couldn't bear it anymore and went to Lophes City to negotiate with Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan couldn't afford to offend an eighth-level mythical transcendent, and he didn't dare to offend him either.
Wang Zhan has actually been aware of this problem for a long time. He knows the consequences of population explosion, which will sooner or later become the goblin's biggest headache.
Although at the beginning, the population can help the goblins develop rapidly, so that they have no shortage of engineers and labor.
But now that goblins are getting richer and richer, the damage and pollution to the environment has also intensified, making many places no longer suitable for goblins to survive.
Finally, Irelia and Wang Zhan agreed that the goblins could not continue to expand on the Alvin continent and control the population.
Over the years, Wang Zhan's main focus has been on exploring those unowned islands, firstly to serve as immigrants, and secondly, as supply points and transfer stations for ocean-going fleets.
Even so, he still couldn't control the population explosion of the goblins. In the end, Wang Zhan had no choice but to bring in real-life family planning.
Ignoring the opposition of the Buya Kingdom, he forcibly promulgated a decree that all goblins, regardless of high or low, could only have two children.
This is normal for humans in reality, but it is simply unbelievable for goblins, because goblins only have seven or eight children.
This decree directly caused complaints among the goblins, but Wang Zhan's prestige was too high, and in the end all the goblins were forced to accept their fate.
But even so, there are still many goblins who secretly give birth to children.
Wang Zhan had a headache about this every day, and even wanted to give up his job.
At this time, the news that an uncultivated new continent had been discovered and disappeared was like a pillow falling from the sky when trying to sleep.
Wang Zhan was overjoyed and immediately ordered the ocean fleet in Lofes City to carry more supplies and resources to support Og.
In recognition of Oger's contribution, Wang Zhan named the new continent Oger Continent.
When the ocean fleet arrived at the Oger continent two months later, Oger had already taken the fleet and the exploration airship to map the entire continent and determined that there were no intelligent creatures on this continent.
In the next year, Wang Zhan used almost all of his ocean-going fleet to transport immigrants and supplies, and even foreign trade almost came to a halt.
A large number of goblins immigrated from the Alvin continent to the Og continent, with the number exceeding three million.
The goblins already have mature land reclamation technology, coupled with their own racial talents and the support of various alchemy skills, they built a huge port city on the edge of Dolan City in just one year, and with the sub-city
As a stronghold, we continue to develop forward.
Naturally, such a large-scale immigration of goblins cannot be hidden from those who are interested.
Less than half a year after the immigration began, other races knew that the goblins had discovered an unexplored new continent.
At this time, both humans and orcs also took notice and sent out ocean fleets to explore new continents.
Humans and orcs actually face the same problem of population explosion.
Although the two races do not have as strong a reproductive capacity as the goblins, their original population base is large, and the area of the Yani continent is only a small amount, and it is evenly divided between the two races.
The populations of the two ethnic groups have also been growing, and the area available for living has been shrinking.
This caused the orcs to begin to invade the human territory from the south, and the humans also began to invade the orc territory from the north. The friction was escalating, but no one took the initiative to provoke a war.
Because after entering the Mythical Age, the threat of Level 8 Mythology is comparable to that of a nuclear bomb. Once a war breaks out, the disaster will be extremely disastrous, and not everyone can accept it.
Coupled with the emergence of various alchemical weapons, today's wars are more cruel than before, so both humans and orcs are trying their best to restrain themselves.
Now that a new continent suddenly appeared, humans and orcs certainly did not want to miss this opportunity to relieve population pressure.
