Chapter 58 Overseas Islands

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 ​​the continental shelf plate collapsed and sank, and finally the regional geography became like this. From the map, it looks a bit like the place near Singapore after the Nansha Islands, but there are more scattered islands than the continental plate, the largest of which is the site of the Amazons, and then the base camp of the indigenous people, and scattered Many large and small islands in the sea.

As he entered the area of ​​the overseas islands, Sauron's face became serious.

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 challenge difficulty of these islands is above level 9. In other words, even a team of adventurers with a strength of around the third level may be completely wiped out on some of the small islands. There are many unknown and terrifying creatures here, some of which are even small in size, but they are more dangerous than dragon creatures.

And there are also prehistoric pythons that are quite difficult to deal with, and some challenge levels can reach more than 15!

Basically the same as dragons.

Sauron didn't even have the slightest intention of going up to these small islands. Even the natives wouldn't approach them easily. Naturally, he didn't plan to explore those dangerous places indiscriminately. His destination was the 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 partly inlaid islands beside it. This was Sauron's first stop, where he would set up a camp if it was appropriate.

Because the places he chose were all locations with natural ports!

Two more days passed.

When Sauron saw a towering mountain in front of him and a cliff standing on the coastline, he finally knew that he had reached his destination. Many seagulls appeared in front of his eyes, and dense forests could be seen in the distance. There is thick bird droppings on the ground, and the nearby islands are all stopover points for migratory birds, so a huge amount of bird droppings has accumulated here for thousands of years. Don't underestimate these bird droppings, they are quite valuable resources!

Because to put it more simply, these bird droppings have accumulated to cover the land, and they are the best fertilizer after a little refinement!

Sauron chose this place as his stronghold. Naturally, it is not only because of the advantages of geographical location.

"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 bones seemed to be visible on it. This bone used to be a very famous pirate king. Later, he fell into the hands of the enemy and was directly crucified on it with cruel punishment. His ghost appeared there. But it must be encountered at a specific time. He will make a very difficult request to others, and if completed, he can get his treasure.

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

Sauron is not interested in accepting such a thought now, although the difficulty of this task is at the quasi-legendary level, he looked at the others and said: "You stay here!...Adele-Isabella!...The seat Whale-Hulk!...You guys follow me to the island to see!..."

A small clipper was put down.

Sauron quickly brought several people to the island. It may be because there are very few outsiders here. When they first set foot on the island, there were birds flying all over the sky, and there seemed to be some noise in the distance. But it soon calmed down. Towns can be built in this area, but it is only relatively safe. Sauron was naturally not so naive as to think that there were no enemies 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 are some white-looking stones in the woods. It was brittle to the touch and crumbled when pinched.

Sauron picked up a piece and smelled it, and then a smile couldn't help showing on his face. The others picked it up and smelled it curiously, but immediately threw it away with a look of disgust, because it smelled like excrement and urine. These pirates couldn't see the value of these stones, but to Sauron they were the most important wealth, even more valuable than a gold mine. This place is actually an inexhaustible gold mine, but the natives don't know how to use it.

——"Struvite, a kind of ore, is also known as bird and animal dung. The accumulated feces and carcasses of birds, bats and seals are a kind of high-quality fertilizer." [Study Geography]

The knowledge he had learned at the beginning emerged in Sauron's mind.

The location of this island close to the forest is the accumulation point of struvite. Because it is in an area where migratory birds migrate, it is unknown how much struvite has been accumulated over thousands of years. Digging three feet down is the raw material of high-quality fertilizer.

but!

There is more than that of value here.

Sauron carefully looked around, then put his hands on the handle of the knife, gestured to the men behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Attention! There may be monsters nearby!"

He gradually moved forward along the flat ground, and as his eyes got higher and higher, the terrain began to become a high slope.

Then a red land appeared in front of my eyes.

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

Clay indeed!

In his memory, the town built here was constructed with 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 already appeared in ancient Rome. Human beings have tried to use clay to make other things since they made pottery. Sauron even knew a little bit about the craftsmanship of porcelain making, so the firing requirements of red bricks should not be too simple for him.

but.

The most critical point is how to increase production. The world's construction technology is still quite high, but it has not been popularized in mass production. Most of the high-end products were made by spellcasters. Sauron didn't know how those people burned so many bricks in a short period of time. But that's okay too. Back then, that group of people started to explore overseas after the Holy One's catastrophe. Now he has moved ahead two years. Even if he lacks a little technical advantage, he can still develop a larger scale first.

"What are you doing here, Your Excellency?"

A guy with a big head, a bit like a big-headed doll, but with a ferocious face stood behind and muttered in a low voice: "This is looking at the rocks and the soil! Are you looking at whether this place is suitable for farming? ? Overseas land is wasteland, even if it needs to be reclaimed, it will take several years to become mature."

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

Pirates have weird looks, anyway, basically it has nothing to do with appearance. He noticed that other people looked at him strangely, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't look at me when I cut off my head. Actually, I'm pretty good at farming. neat."

Sauron ignored the back.

He walked all the way to the top of the high slope. Then he looked down at the flat ground in the distance, and then calculated the size and distance of the space in his mind. Perhaps because of the powerful computing power, or because of the digital simulation, he actually built a rough town model in his mind. It can actually accommodate the development space of a medium-sized city. Don't underestimate those guilds who explored overseas in their previous lives. Many of them are professional-level talents. 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. Can't help but look down at the bottom of the sea, the person next to him asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

He stared at the bottom of the sea for a moment. Then he shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just saw something."

Time passed by every minute and every second.

About two hours later, Sauron finally inspected 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 in his heart. The other two places are a bit out of the way. It's still a day or two away from here. If you want to develop overseas, you must rely on the resources of the mainland, so naturally the closer the route, 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 good place in the 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.

Due to the small size of this island, not many indigenous people migrated here.

In this place of the overseas islands.

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

The island in front of me is just right, it has room for development, and it's not too eye-catching!

"Get off the boat!"

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

He is ready to enclose the land here.

(It’s really not easy to quit smoking, the sixth day... Recently, the mental state is very difficult, and the writing of this plot is slow, so the update may be less. Exploring overseas is not just a matter of just enclosing a place, it is completely courting death There are actually a lot of foreshadowing in this episode, and many things must be explained clearly. Finally, I will announce a major event full of positive energy to you in two days. Mmmm. Wait until I get through this period, and then I will explode.) (to be continued~^~)
