Although I understand the setting of this archipelago, the warships still have to find a suitable place to dock, because the coasts of most islands are covered with high cliffs, and the fleet cannot dock normally.
Some of the islands have some sandy beaches on the coast, but they are also at the foot of some cliffs. Boats can approach the shore, but players cannot climb up the cliffs.
Riding the cloud-swallowing beast, Li Ming carefully surveyed the islands on the sea surface in the air. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He found a narrow sea passage between two large islands. As long as he entered the middle of the archipelago from the passage, he could
Successfully landed on the beach of a round island.
Under his guidance, five warships formed a straight line, entered the archipelago map from the narrow bay, and arrived at the beach edge of the prototype island.
As the warships officially docked one after another, the players put down the rope ladder and climbed to the shore. They stepped on the beach and curiously explored around the island.
In the dense woods, there were players everywhere exploring the map. After a while, screams rang out, and they soon encountered a large group of monsters in the spawn area...
Li Ming soared in the air. After the players successfully landed, he no longer had to worry about it, but carefully inspected the terrain on these islands...
He flew close to the ground, passing through jungles and mountains, and surprising discoveries kept appearing before his eyes!
There are no hidden resources on the island. As long as he is close to the ground, he can see the names of the trees above the trees, as well as the various shining metallic lusters on some hillsides, such as silver, gold, black cold light, etc., allowing him to
It is easy to judge that this sea blue archipelago is like a huge treasure house, full of rich resource deposits!
"Wow, Brother Ming, now we are developed. Many rare resources with less production on land can be seen everywhere here, and the reserves are amazing!" Fu Ziyan's sweet voice sounded in the alliance channel.
"This time is really not in vain. The overseas resources are beyond our imagination. It is a pity that our passenger ships cannot come here, otherwise we can transport a large amount of resources back every day." Tian Xinhong said excitedly.
"Don't worry, this place already belongs to us, no one can take it away." Li Ming replied calmly.
He now fully understands the settings of the system. The ocean map is also divided into several levels. The closer to the land, the safer it is, and the wind and waves are weaker.
Therefore, if you want to explore further sea areas, you have to wait until you build a more advanced ship.
For example, if you want to reach the Sea Blue Islands, you must build a large cargo ship that can withstand at least level 6 winds and waves, so that you can go to further seas for development.
But medium-sized passenger ships are not completely useless. After all, craftsmen can quickly improve their shipbuilding proficiency by building medium-sized passenger ships. Without proficiency, they cannot build larger ships. Moreover, although medium-sized passenger ships cannot even reach the Sea Blue Islands, as a company in the
A tool for leveling at sea, they can continue to be useful.
At this moment, Li Ming suddenly thought of something...
"Everyone, starting from today, the shipyard workshop will hurry up to build ships. Since the cost of medium-sized warships is too high, we can only temporarily build some medium-sized passenger ships and train the level of shipbuilders. Then I have a way to save a lot of shipbuilding costs.
." Li Ming said with a smile.
"What method?" Everyone asked in surprise.
"Everyone has gone through the process of leveling at sea just now. What do you think?" Li Ming asked.
"Leveling at sea is more enjoyable than on land. There is almost no need to worry about danger, and there are endless monsters. Just stand there and just attack. The leveling efficiency is about twice as fast as on land." Fan Hua laughed.
"A medium-sized passenger ship can carry 5,000 passengers. If I only charge 100 gold coins per player, a ship can earn nearly 500,000 gold coins a day. Plus the transmission fee to Hidden Sword City, this is a huge sum.
The considerable profit will at least reduce our funds for building ships," Li Ming said.
"Are you planning to open Hidden Sword City?" Everyone was stunned.
"However, by opening the Hidden Sword City, the enemy will also know our plan. Isn't this a small gain at a loss?" Fu Ziyan asked.
"I just deliberately let them know, don't think that only their Cangqiong City has a seaport..." Li Ming said lightly.
This opponent has ulterior motives and is only interested in fighting for the hegemony of the region and plundering the wealth of players in the Huaxia region for their behind-the-scenes forces. It’s time to let them know that the Huaxia region is not that easy to deal with!
What's more, if the other party has been hiding in the corner and developing, we have to find a way to make them nervous and jump out on their own initiative.
As long as they are willing to show up, Li Ming can quickly grasp their strength.
Plus, he didn't want to let go of such a profitable thing...
"I understand my brother's thoughts. Hidden Sword City is built on an island. Even if it is opened to others, no one will know the current situation of the Elf Valley. Plus, it can still make money, so why not?" Dynasty Langxue said with a smile.
"Let's just do this. A passenger ship provides an 8-hour service and charges 150 gold coins per person each time." Jinglan said thoughtfully.
"Jinglan said it well. This way our ship can go to sea twice a day and earn more gold coins." Zangyue Mulan nodded with a smile.
"Okay, leave the specific situation to Jinglan Operations. In the past two days, we have accelerated the construction of medium-sized passenger ships. As long as our craftsmen meet the manufacturing conditions for large passenger ships, we will immediately stop the construction of medium-sized ships to attack the city. We need larger ships.
." Li Ming smiled.
"Understood." All the commanders were pleasantly surprised.
According to their current shipyard workshop efficiency, they can build at least 14 medium-sized passenger and cargo ships in one day, and the skill proficiency of the shipyard craftsmen can be improved in three or four days.
At that time, the level of the Navigation Research Institute will also be upgraded to the advanced level, and the construction methods of large ships will be immediately mastered by players!
"It seems that more docks and harbors need to be built." Jinglan said with a smile.
The discovery of the Hailan Islands and so many resources on the islands made everyone full of confidence in future development.
But Li Ming is still a little uneasy. Since the other party has established a seaport earlier and has a fleet, they must have more overseas discoveries. If the two sides really want to compete on the ocean, I am afraid that the current progress of the three major alliances will
Much inferior!
We must find a way to close the gap quickly, or at least not fall too far behind.
By the way, destroy it!
A bad idea suddenly popped up in Li Ming's mind...
However, it is not an easy task to carry out sabotage secretly, and it must be considered in the long term.
But Li Ming already has some ideas about the candidate for sabotage...
At this time, players exploring the islands are constantly receiving new news. As expected, the monsters on these islands are in the level 60-69 range. As long as they do not exceed level 65, players can easily deal with them.
"Check every island carefully and record the resources. We will return the same way in an hour." Li Ming gave the order.
