V2.Chapter 58

overseas islands.

The geographical environment of this area is a bit special, because it originally belonged to a continent, and then a large area of ​​land shelf plate collapse and subsidence occurred, and finally the regional geography became like this. From the map, it is a bit like the place where the Nansha Islands are close to Singapore after the past, but there are more scattered islands than the continental plate. There are many large and small islands in the sea.

As he entered the area of ​​the overseas archipelago, Sauron's face also became solemn.

The environment of this area is a bit like a tropical rainforest area, full of many unknown dangers. Don't look like those small islands are not very noticeable, but in fact, the difficulty of these islands is above 9. That is to say, even a team of adventurers composed of about Tier 3 strength may be wiped out on some of the small islands. There are many unknown and terrible creatures here, some even small in size, but more dangerous than dragon species.

And there are quite difficult prehistoric pythons here, some of which can reach a challenge level of 15 or more!

Basically the same as dragons.

For these small islands, Sauron has no idea of ​​going up to take a look. In some places, even the indigenous people will not approach easily. Naturally, he does not intend to explore those dangerous places indiscriminately. His destination was a large island further ahead. If he remembered correctly, there was an island with a diameter of more than 500 square kilometers in front, and there were other islands next to it. This was Sauron's first stop, where he would set up a camp if appropriate.

Because the places he picked were all locations with natural harbors!

Two more days passed.

When Sauron saw a towering mountain and cliffs erected on the coastline in front of him, he finally knew that he had reached his destination. Many seagulls appeared in front of his eyes, dense forests could be seen in the distance, and there were thick bird droppings on the ground. This nearby island was a stopover point for migratory birds, so the number of migratory birds has accumulated here for thousands of years. Very large bird droppings. Don't underestimate these bird droppings, they are quite a valuable resource!

Because, to put it more simply, these bird droppings cover the land over time, and they are the best fertilizer when they are slightly refined!

Sauron chose this place as a stronghold, not only because of the geographical advantage.

"Stop here."

Sauron looked at the others, and then turned his gaze to a position on the cliff, where there was a metal cross, and it seemed that white bones could still be seen on it. This white bone used to be a very famous pirate king. He later fell into the hands of the enemy and was directly nailed to it with cruel criminal methods. There are his ghosts, but they must be met at a specific time. arrive. He will make a very difficult request to the others, and if completed, he will get his treasure.

The soul of this pirate king is in the spiritual world, and encountering his soul seems to require special requirements!

Sauron is not interested in taking such a thought now, although the difficulty of this task is quasi-legendary, he looked at the others and said, "You guys stay here!... Adele-Isabella! Whale-Hulk!...You guys are going to the island with me!..."

A small clipper was let down.

Sauron quickly brought a few people to the island, probably because there were few outsiders here. When they just set foot on the island, birds flew all over the sky, and there seemed to be some noise in the distance, but It soon calmed down. A town can be established in this area, but it is only relatively safe, so Sauron is naturally not naive enough to think that there is no enemy here. He didn't go too deep into the jungle, but came to a flat land south of the cliff. This is a natural flat land, and it was also the place where others found it and finally built a town.

There were some white-looking stones in the woods that were brittle to the touch and shattered when squeezed.

Sauron picked up a piece and smelled it, and then a smile appeared on his face. Others also picked it up and smelled it curiously, but immediately threw it away with disgust because it smelled of feces and urine. These pirates could not see the value of these stones, but to Sauron they were the most important wealth, even more valuable than a gold mine. This is actually an inexhaustible gold mine, but the natives still don't know how to use it.

——“Struvite, a type of ore, also known as bird and beast dung. The accumulated dung and carcasses of birds, bats and seals are a kind of high-quality fertilizer.” [Learning Geography]

The knowledge he had learned appeared in Sauron's mind.

The location of this island close to the woods is the accumulation point of struvite. Because it is in an area where migratory birds migrate, it is unknown how much struvite has accumulated for thousands of years. It is the raw material of high-quality fertilizer when digging three feet into the ground.

but!

There's more to the value here than that.

Sauron looked around cautiously, then put his hands on the hilt of the knife, made a gesture to a few men behind him, and said solemnly: "Attention! There may be monsters nearby!"

He gradually advanced along the flat ground, and the terrain began to become a high slope as he got higher and higher in front of him.

Then a red field appeared in front of him.

There were some wild beasts nearby, but they ran away immediately after seeing Sauron. These beasts sensed the dangerous aura on them, and even a cheetah ran into the jungle in fright. Sauron cut open the soil with a machete, then stretched out his hand and twisted the red soil, he squeezed it in his hand, and then threw it on the ground with a smile on his face.

It is indeed clay!

Back then, he remembered that the town built here was constructed of red bricks, and he didn't know what craftsmanship was used. In just three months, a brick house was built, and a large wall was cut out. . Bricks have begun to appear in ancient Rome. Humans have tried to use clay to make other things since the time of firing pottery. Sauron even knew a little about the craftsmanship of porcelain making, and the requirements for firing red bricks should not be too simple for him.

but.

The most critical point is how to increase production. The construction technology in this world is still quite high, but it is not popular in mass production. Most of the high-end products were made by spellcasters. Sauron still didn't know how the group of people burned so many bricks in a short period of time. But that doesn't matter. That group of people started to expand overseas after the catastrophe of the saint. Now he has already advanced two years. Even if he lacks a little technical advantage, he can still develop ahead of schedule. come out on a larger scale.

"What are you doing, Your Excellency?"

A guy with a big head, a bit like a big-headed doll, but with a ferocious face, stood behind and whispered, "It's looking at rocks, and it's looking at soil! Are you wondering if this place is suitable for farming? ? Overseas land is wasteland, and even if it is to be reclaimed, it will take several years to mature.”

"Don't look at me like that!...I also cultivated the land for several years before I became a pirate!..."

Pirates' looks are all weird, and they basically have nothing to do with their appearance anyway. He noticed that other people were looking at him strangely, and he couldn't help laughing: "Don't look at how quick I am when I chop off my head, in fact, I'm pretty good at farming. Liso."

Sauron ignored the back.

He walked all the way to the top of the high slope, then looked down at the flat ground in the distance, and then calculated the size and distance of the space in his heart, perhaps because of his powerful computing power or because of the data-based simulation, he actually built it in his heart. The rough town model can actually accommodate the development space of a medium-sized city. Don't underestimate those guilds that explored overseas in previous lives. Many of them are professional-level talents, and the places they choose naturally have many comprehensive advantages.

the other side.

The half-elf first mate was standing on the bow. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He couldn't help looking down at the sea water. The person beside him asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

He stared at the bottom of the sea for a while, and then shook his head lightly: "It's nothing. It just seemed like I saw something."

Time passed by minute by minute.

About two hours later, Sauron finally completed the inspection of the nearby area, and then returned with the others.

He has already made a decision in his heart!

Although he still had two spare positions to look at, Sauron was already very satisfied with this place. The other two places are a bit off, and they are both a day or two away from here. If you want to develop and develop overseas, you must use the resources of the mainland, so the closer the route is, the better, and it is easier to transport other materials. Whether it is a natural port, geographical advantages, land resources, etc., this location can be regarded as a first-class place for overseas islands.

And there is another advantage here, that is, the location is relatively far from the range of activities of the Amazons, and it is not near the base camp of the indigenous people.

Since this island is not very large, not many indigenous people have migrated here.

This place in the Overseas Islands.

Generally, the larger the island, the more intense the competition, because it is a large territory. On the contrary, the island with a small area, because there is not enough space for development, sometimes there are no indigenous people living.

The island in front of me is just right, not too big, not too small, there is room for development, and it is not too conspicuous!

"Get off the boat!"

A smile finally appeared on Sauron's face, and he said solemnly: "I will transport all the supplies to me, and arrange for people to camp on the flat ground in front."

He's ready to encircle here.

(It's not easy to quit smoking, the sixth day... Recently my mental state is very difficult, and this story is written slowly, so the update may be less. Expanding overseas is not just a random circle, it is completely courting death. There are actually a lot of foreshadowing in this episode, and many things must be explained clearly. Finally, in two days, I will announce to you a major event full of positive energy. Well, wait until I get through this period of time, and then there will be a big outbreak.) r1152
