Chapter 124: Patrol the sea area
Chapter 124 Patrolling the sea area
It took Qu Mao less than half a day to arrange all the work in different villages on Sky Island.
In addition to building the entrance door for the folding space to get 20 cheating points, other optimization ideas and innovations have not received feedback from the cheating system for the time being.
However, judging from experience, the cheating system will digitize and judge the results of some large-scale engineering projects that Qu Mao arranges for the construction of the leaders after the completion of the project, and further reward cheating points.
The key is that these innovations are not implemented by Qu Mao himself, but just instructing the people to do things. Even if there is no reward for cheating, Qu Mao does not feel that he has lost anything.
Then wait for the cheating system to finally judge the actual effect of the reservoir and ditches in the folding space, and then see how much cheating value it gives.
The treasure chest was not collected, but Qu Mao was not particularly urgent about cheating.
The whole afternoon, after Qu Mao had a non-barbecue lunch in Yicun, he wandered around the island, and whenever he saw a place where the leaders were active, he would go up to ask the leaders what they were doing, and then give some opinions of their own.
There is no gain from cheating, but the happiness and loyalty of the citizens have increased a lot. Qu Mao is also very happy to see this change.
The next morning, after drinking a bowl of rice porridge in Yicun, Qu Mao asked sailors and naval soldiers to accompany him, and drove the ship towards the southerly sea.
Since Qu Mao released the reward, sailors have been reporting the news of the discovery of the island. Qu Mao has been busy with the exploration and strategy of empty islands and outlying islands, and has not taken time to look.
It’s rare to be free these days, so I simply went to the southern sea area to confirm the authenticity of the news reported by the sailors, and on the other hand, to confirm the arrangements for those newly discovered islands.
The news reported by the sailors is that those islands are generally in the south of the empty island and the outlying island, about 15 kilometers to 30 kilometers away from the empty island and the outlying island.
In fact, because seagoing ships have to return to Yidao every day, the distance sailors can sail every day is about 40 to 50 kilometers away from Yidao.
Regarding the inspection of the southern waters, Qu Mao did not consider landing, after all, the only shuttle boat was still on the Li River on the outlying island. At most, Qu Mao stood on the deck and arranged for a sailor to climb up to the watchtower halfway up the main mast to check the scale and vegetation of the island first, as well as whether there were any treasure chests visible to the naked eye.
The treasure chest is one of Qu Mao's favorite props recently, and it is also one of the fastest ways to realize the Yi Village territory.
Under the control of the sailors, the ship sailed for nearly an hour, and Qu Mao saw a small island on the deck that was smaller than the empty island and without any vegetation.
After turning around the small island, Qu Mao continued to head south. In fact, standing on the deck, he could see the outlines of other islands in the distance to the south. The distance will not exceed 5 km.
After sailing for half a day in the waters south of outlying islands and empty islands, Qu Mao observed as many as 13 islands during the journey.
The islands further south are very close to each other, generally between 5 kilometers and 10 kilometers, but there are almost no islands larger than outlying islands.
Most of them are small islands without any vegetation, and only five islands have dense vegetation on them.
The largest of these five islands is only half the size of Outlying Island, and one is almost as big as Yi Island, and the remaining three are only about one-third the size of Yi Island.
Eight islands without vegetation, the largest is the first island Qu Mao encountered, only half the size of the empty island, and the others are smaller.
In addition to the thirteen islands, there is also a large area of reefs in the south. The entire reefs are about 30 square kilometers, and there are reefs that are more than ten meters high above the sea. The distance between these reefs is as narrow as one The two meters and the width are only about 30 meters.
The ship couldn't pass through the reef zone at all, Qu Mao just let the sailors control the ship, and hurriedly circled it about 100 meters away from the outermost reef.
The sea area further south, Qu Mao, didn't even think about taking a look. It didn't make much sense, and it was too far away from Yi Island.
Based on the current location, Qu Mao had already finished watching it after one o'clock in the afternoon. Returning from here, it is estimated that he will have to sail a certain distance in the dark at night, and if he goes south, he may not be able to return to Sky Island until very late.
He ordered the sailors to control the ship to go to the empty island. Although it was not 100% smooth wind when it came, the degree of smooth wind was obviously higher than that on the return journey. It was a certainty to sail back to the empty island in the dark. Fortunately, the empty island also built a stone The quality of the lighthouse is much higher than the safety factor when returning from Yancheng.
After seeing these islands, on the way back, Qu Mao no longer stayed on the deck, but got into the cabin. I made a silent decision in my heart: put these islands here for the time being, and I don’t even have the desire to explore them in the short term, let alone develop them.
Yi Village has a total population of less than 2,000 people. Even if you come back from Yancheng next time, the population will not increase significantly. It is very difficult to break through 3,000 people.
Now there are three islands under development, namely, Yi Island, Outlying Island and Sky Island. The land is absolutely sufficient, and the resources are also sufficient. The most lacking thing is the population.
If one of the thirteen islands is developed again, I am afraid that it will not speed up the development of Yi Village's territory, but a destruction of the development efficiency of Yi Village's territory.
In the future, at most, Zhao Pan or Wang Ping will lead the army to pick up the treasure chests on these thirteen islands, and at most, mark the suspected folding space.
And this must be done after all the treasure chests on the outlying island have been inspected and all the entrances to the suspected folding space have been marked.
Sitting in the cabin, Qu Mao thought to himself: There are currently five heroes in the Yi Village Territory, three of which are heroes with epic-level qualifications. Besides Qu Mao himself, the other hero is also with excellent-level qualifications. Theoretically, the number and quality of heroes should , is definitely stronger than many other adventurers, but the strength of the Yi Village Territory is so low, there is always something that Qu Mao has not noticed.
There are many factors currently restricting the development of Yi Village, but the core factor is that the territory of Yi Village is isolated overseas, and there are too few channels and means of interaction with other adventurer lords and aboriginal forces.
Thinking of these situations, Qu Mao scratched his hair helplessly, and there seemed to be no better way than opening the treasure chest for a short time.
After dark, under the guidance of Sky Island’s stone lighthouse, Qu Mao’s ship berthed at the civilian pier of Sky Island around 7:30 in the evening.
After explaining to the naval soldiers and sailors, Qu Mao ran towards the second-story wooden building in Yi Village, and completed the exploration tasks of outlying islands and empty islands first, and then considered other issues after returning to Yi Island.
