  Chapter 112 Outlying Islands

  15 resource mines, Qu Mao, Zhao Pan, and Kong Ming spent a full five days attacking, but it still inevitably caused more than 20 soldiers to suffer injuries of varying severity.

Ten zero-level residential houses have been built in each of the two folding spaces. The sailors who built the civilian wharf will also enter the folding space to rest at night. After all, the nearest folding space is only about 800 meters away from the construction site of the civilian wharf. distance.

The temporary camp of Qu Mao and the army has also been moved from the beach to a folding space. The soldiers don’t need to live in marching tents at night, but live in residential houses in the zero-level territory. It is more convenient to recover from fatigue and injuries. .

  Under Kong Ming’s suggestion, Qu Mao also built two public toilets and a medical room in each of the two folding spaces.

The ship sent back to convey the news to Su Yan returned at noon the next day. Su Yan did not come in person, but arranged for 50 sailors, 30 leaders, and 100 bags of grain brought back from Yancheng, and Some iron pots, shovels and other necessary agricultural production tools, living tools, and living materials.

After staying on the empty island for about a week, leaving behind 150 civilians, 35 wounded soldiers, 15 necessary soldiers on duty, and 2 medical staff, Qu Mao arranged for a sea boat to take two raids on the empty island. The explosives obtained from the folding space and 15 resource mines returned to Yi Island again. This time, they not only needed people and supplies, but also suggested that Su Yan come here with the ship to check the actual situation.

Early the next morning, Qu Mao, Zhao Pan, and Kong Ming used two other ships to take about 350 soldiers, sailors, and leaders to the outlying islands. After Yan, go directly to the outlying island to meet up.

  Before departure, Qu Mao even took out 30 bags of food from his backpack after Su Yan sent 100 bags of food and left them on Sky Island.

  Three ships set sail from Sky Island near the Jianmin Wharf. They parted ways about one kilometer away from the coastline of Sky Island. Two ships headed west to Li Island, and one headed north to Yi Island.

It took about an hour for Qu Mao, Kong Ming and Zhao Pan to bring two seagoing ships to the mouth of the outlying island's big river. The civilian wharf on the outlying island is still under construction, and the seagoing ships can only sail as far as about 30 meters from the coastline. The place.

   It is too slow to use a shuttle boat to go underground, and it is not far from the coastline. There are no cliffs on the seaside around the outlying islands, and they are basically beaches.

  So Qu Mao directly ordered: "Those who can swim, all jump into the sea and swim ashore, and those who can't swim at all, wait for the shuttle boat to transport them."

The personnel on the two ships heard Qu Mao's order, and the sailors, first-rank sailors, and third-rank jumping soldiers jumped into the sea one after another, and quickly swam to the coastline. After swimming ashore, they took off all their clothes and equipment and spread them on the beach. dry on stones.

   Fortunately, there are 4 female ship doctors on board the ship, so the impact is not particularly bad.

  Zhao Pan took the third-tier princess guards and other soldiers who disembarked earlier, communicated with a small team of third-tier princess guards led by Wei Qubing, and then organized the soldiers into groups to explore the terrain in the dense forest.

  Kong Ming accompanied Qu Mao to the shore by shuttle boat, inspected the ten leaders who were on duty to build the civil dock, and added 30 sailors and leaders to guard the construction.

Going to the place where the third-tier princess guards led by Wei Qubing set up the marching tent, Kong Ming waved a goose feather fan, pulled Qu Mao out of the marching tent, walked a few steps closer to the edge of the dense forest, and said, "My lord, outlying islands In fact, some permanent buildings can be built here.

  For example, zero-level territorial houses, first-level houses, etc., and even medical rooms can be built, after all, civilian docks have already been built here. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "That's true. After all, outlying islands are more convenient to obtain living materials for development, and they are closer to empty islands. It is more convenient to use outlying islands to transport materials for empty islands."

  Kong Ming continued to shake his feather fan, and said: "Yes, my lord, outlying islands can be placed in the same important position as Yidao for development. There may not be too many resources invested in the early stage, but the foundation must be laid well.

  The subordinates took a rough look at the surrounding environment. Even if it is a temporary residence, the foundation must be laid, and the construction must be planned in advance. "

   Qu Mao said: "Okay, just don't spend too much resources in the early stage, you can arrange it."

Kong Ming pointed to the mouth of the river and said, "My lord, this is the angle zone formed by the big river and the coastline of outlying islands. The advice given to you at the meeting on Yidao is still too conservative. The area of ​​outlying islands is much larger than Yidao. More space.

   Surrounded by sandy beaches, it is stronger than Yidao in terms of defense.

  When the big river enters the sea, it leaves about 200 meters wide and 1,000 meters long tidal flats. The quality of cultivated land is definitely higher than that of Yidao.

  The subordinates feel that at least half of the citizens should be arranged to develop outlying islands, and the importance of development is completely consistent with that of Yidao.

  After all, there is only one small stream flowing into the sea on Yidao Island, while a large river flows into the sea on Outlying Island. Now that the population base is small, the problems of Yidao are not easy to be exposed. In the future, when the population base is large, drinking fresh water in Yidao will be a problem.

  And at this stage, if the island of Yi can support half of the population, the food pressure will be much smaller. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Kong Ming, what you said is very reasonable. Before we set off to leave the island, we have arranged for a ship to return to Yidao. Su Yan may not have grasped the specific situation of the island.

   After Su Yan came, we looked at the specific situation of the outlying islands, and we summed it up again. I still insisted not to develop two small islands at the same time. After all, our strength is not enough to support it.

Let’s explore the outlying islands slowly for a while. I have no objection to investing a small amount of energy and resources in building some fixed buildings. Tier 1 residences, residences in territories of 0 territories, medical rooms, public toilets, etc. will not take much resources and time. build.

  At this stage, the outlying islands can be self-sufficient during the exploration process, so I am very satisfied. "

   While Qu Mao was chatting with Kong Ming, Zhao Pan came back with a small group of soldiers, walked up to Qu Mao and said, "My lord, the vegetation on the outlying island is more dense, and there are more wild animals.

  If our current army does not arrange other things, the subordinates believe that the army can support our food supply forever through hunting.

  Take the soldiers to search the surrounding area briefly. There are quite a lot of plants and beasts, and our third-tier fighters will basically not be threatened by any wild beasts, not to mention that we still have fourth-tier fighters. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said: "Hurry up and explore the outlying islands, I have authorized you and the soldiers to pick up the god-given treasure chest, other things will be discussed after Su Yan arranges the follow-up leaders to come.

  Hundred birds in the forest are not as good as a bird in the hand. Let’s get the resource production of the empty island started first, and there is no rush to leave the island. "
