The naval soldiers led by Bruno and Idar stayed in the French Islands for more than a month.
During this period of time, the Idar people's footprints traveled to almost every island in the French Archipelago and penetrated into every corner of these islands.
Due to the wonder bonuses brought by the Farland Islands, the wonder construction system unlocks new map functions.
Every woodland on the island has been marked in detail by the system, which made Bruno couldn't help but be amazed by this awesome system again.
Although in the dark, Bruno can always hear some voices that seem to complain that his wonder construction system is not very good, but at least... Bruno himself is very satisfied.
It’s always happy to be content!
Having a golden finger is better than not having a golden finger!
Therefore, the Idar people's exploration of the French Islands can almost be said to be very smooth.
Because, on the map of the wonder construction system, the terrain, rivers and forests on each island have long been marked.
What the soldiers of the Idar Territory have to do is to find the mineral resources, forest vegetation, and those scattered blue carved golems that have not yet been marked on the map.
After these days of exploring the Farland Islands, Bruno has been able to determine that the magic crystal veins and the blue carved golems only exist on the largest island where they first landed.
Since this largest island is located on the westernmost side of the French Islands, Bruno, who was unable to name it, used his little brain to give it a very resounding name - French Island!
The westernmost island of the French Archipelago is called Île-de-France...
Nothing wrong!
This makes perfect sense!
Moreover, under the control of well-trained Idar soldiers, Bruno can shout responsibly...
No one can conquer Île-de-France!
As the largest island in the Farland Islands, the Farland Islands has the only magic crystal & source stone vein in the Farland Islands.
According to Bruno's estimation, the total magic crystal reserves on the French Isle should not be inferior to the magic crystal vein near the Almis Mountains!
Speaking of source stones,
After this month-long period,
Under the guidance of Bruno, the great Count of Idar (emphasis added),
The Idar people finally figured out the time and steps required to transform magic crystal into source stone.
Step 1: Dig the magic crystal in the magic crystal vein.
Step 2: Divide the magic crystal mined from the magic crystal veins into fist-sized pieces.
Step 3: Arrange these divided magic crystals neatly on the ground of the Farang Islands to receive the harassment of divine power.
Step 4: Three days later, under the repeated violations of divine power, the internal structure of these magic crystals will be destroyed by divine power, and then rearranged to form new crystals, which is what Bruno calls the source stone.
However, due to the extremely thin magic power on the French Islands, Bruno could only learn the true data on the degree of magic power absorbed by these source stones from the air after taking these source stones away from the French Islands.
But what surprised Bruno was that although the divine power on the French Islands had a natural rejection of magic.
However, these magic crystals that have been trained by divine power can absorb the free magic power in the air...
However, these changes are obviously not within the scope that Bruno needs to consider in a short time.
Moreover, due to the existence of the blue glyph golem and the origin stone veins, after careful consideration, Bruno decided to build the French Isle into the first and largest navy outside the Idar territory.
base.
After all... As a former natural port, Île-de-France has a unique deep-water harbor, which is extremely suitable for ships to dock.
In addition, the Farland Islands are basically on the central axis of Merlin Bay, so it can also be regarded as a transit station connecting the Odin Empire and King Basel, and it is a must-pass for entering and exiting Merlin Bay!
Therefore, Île-de-France will also become the only one of the eight islands in the Île-de-France Islands, and the only place in the territory of Idar that is completely controlled by the Idar army!
This is not only due to the importance of the Originium veins and the special geographical location of the French Islands, but also to protect and explore the human relics from thousands of years ago that remain on the islands.
As mentioned in the wonder construction system, as an important port thousands of years ago, in addition to the traces of artificially dug mines, there are still many other human remains on this island!
The ancient streets near the coast, the dilapidated old castles and even the broken stone walls that are still standing. These things that should have been lost in the long river of time have all been preserved due to the existence of divine power.
Therefore, these human relics from ten thousand years ago are of extremely important significance for Bruno to explore that completely blank history!
Of course, except for the largest Île-de-France, the other seven islands also have their own advantages.
After all...the natural wonders card is here!
According to the description in the system map, the Farland Islands located in Merlin Bay can be said to be right near a warm current.
This indirectly leads to the fact that the climate of the French Islands is warm and humid all year round, somewhat reminiscent of the subtropical climate of the previous generation, and is relatively similar to the climate conditions in the southeastern part of King Basel.
And this means that tropical cash crops like sugar cane can be planted on the land of the French Islands!
Sugar production, paper making and wine making, if Bruno decides to plant sugar cane on the French Islands, what a perfect circular chain this will form!
but……
In Bruno's opinion, how can a place as good as the Farland Islands be used simply for growing sugar cane?
This is not because growing sugar cane is not good, but because raw materials like bagasse can be purchased in the Kingdom of Basel at extremely low prices.
The so-called transportation cost is actually the least thing to worry about. After all...in this era, serfs have always been the cheapest labor force!
If Bruno was more cruel, then as long as he could prevent the serfs who escorted the bagasse from starving to death, he would not even need to pay them wages!
Of course, as an outstanding young man of the new era who is full of a sense of justice, Bruno will definitely not do such an immoral thing!
At least...he would not make such a request to the serfs in Idar Territory...
Moreover,
A very important point is,
If the French Islands are also used to grow sugar cane, the types of commodities in Idarland will be too single, which is not conducive to the full development of various industries in Idarland and the adjustment of the income structure of Idarland.
Once someone chokes you at some point, or the sales of a certain product are blocked, Idar's gold coin income will become extremely tight!
Therefore, Bruno set his sights on other things.
after all……
The Farland Islands are not suitable for growing crops such as potatoes and corn, so it can be said to be the only place in Idarland that can be used to grow tropical cash crops on a large scale.
Therefore, he naturally had to plan carefully.
At this time, coffee and tobacco naturally appeared in Bruno's mind.
