Chapter 1187 - Valuable Overseas Resources

Although the setting of the archipelago was understood, the battleship had to find a suitable place to dock, because most of the islands had high cliffs on the coast, and the fleet could not dock properly.

Some of these islands have some sandy shores first, but are also at the foot of some cliffs, where boats can get close to the shore, but the player cannot climb the cliffs.

Riding the Cloud Swallowing Beast, Li Ming carefully overlooked the situation of the archipelago on the sea in the air, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found a narrow sea passage between two large islands, as long as he entered the middle of the archipelago through the passage, he could successfully land on the beach of a round island.

Under his guidance, five warships formed a straight line and entered the archipelago map from the narrow bay to the sandy edge of the prototype island.

As the battleships officially docked, the players lowered the rope ladder and climbed to the shore, stepping on the beach and curiously scattered around the island to explore.

The dense woods were filled with players exploring the map, and after a while, there were bursts of screams, and they soon encountered a large group of monster spawn areas......

Li Ming soared through the air, and after the players successfully landed, he didn't have to worry about it, but carefully examined the terrain on the islands......

He flew close to the ground, flying over jungles and mountains, and the surprises kept appearing in front of him!

There is nothing hidden about the resources on the island, as long as he is close to the ground, he can see the names of the trees on the top of their heads, as well as the various shining metallic lusters on some hillsides, what silver, gold, black cold light, etc., so that he can easily determine that this sea blue archipelago is like a huge treasure trove, full of rich resources and minerals!

"Wow, Brother Ming, now we are developed, there are a lot of rare resources with less production on land, you can see them everywhere here, and the reserves are amazing!" Fu Ziyan's coquettish voice sounded in the alliance channel.

"This time it was really not in vain, the overseas resources are beyond our imagination, but unfortunately our passenger ships can't come, otherwise we can transport a lot of resources back every day." Tian Xinhong said excitedly.

"Don't worry, this place is already ours, and no one can take it away." Li Ming replied lightly.

He now fully understands the setting of the system, and the ocean map is also divided into several levels, the closer to the land, the safer it is, and the weaker the wind and waves.

So, if you want to explore farther seas, you have to wait until you build more advanced ships.

For example, if you want to reach the Sea Blue Islands, you have to build a large cargo ship that can withstand at least level 6 or more winds and waves before you can go further afield.

But medium-sized passenger ships are not completely useless, after all, craftsmen can build medium-sized passenger ships to improve shipbuilding proficiency faster, and without proficiency, they cannot build larger ships, and although medium-sized passenger ships cannot even reach the Sea Blue Islands, they can continue to play a role as a tool for leveling at sea.

At this moment, Li Ming suddenly thought of something......

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the dockyard workshop will hurry up to build ships, because the cost of medium-sized warships is too high, at present we can only temporarily build some medium-sized passenger ships and train the level of shipbuilders, and then I have another way to save a lot of shipbuilding costs." Li Ming said with a smile.

"What's the solution?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"The process of leveling at sea, everyone has experienced it 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 the number of monsters is endless, just stand there and attack, and the leveling efficiency is about twice as fast as on land." Fan Hua said with a smile.

"A medium-sized passenger ship can carry 5,000 passengers, if I only charge a fee of 100 gold coins for a player, a ship can earn nearly 500,000 gold coins a day, plus the teleportation fee to Hidden Sword City, this is a lot of profit, at least our funds for building ships are reduced a lot." Li Ming said.

"Are you going to open the Hidden Sword City?" Everyone froze.

"However, with the opening of Hidden Sword City, the enemy will also know about our plan, is this a little bit of a big mistake?" Fu Ziyan asked.

"I just deliberately let them know, don't think that only their Sky City has a ......harbor," Li Ming said lightly.

This opponent has ill intentions, and only thinks about competing for the hegemony of the region, and plundering the wealth of the players in the Huaxia region for their behind-the-scenes forces, it is time to let them know that the Huaxia region is not so easy to deal with!

What's more, the other party has been hiding in the corner to develop, and he has to find a way to make them nervous and take the initiative to jump out.

As long as they are willing to appear, Li Ming will be able to grasp their strength faster.

Coupled with such a lucrative thing, he didn't want to let it go easily......

"I understand my brother's thoughts, the Hidden Sword City is built on an island, even if it is opened, others don't know the current situation of the Elven Valley, plus it can still make money, why not?" Dynasty Wolf Blood laughed.

"Let's just do it, a passenger ship provides 8 hours of service, and each time it costs 150 gold coins per person." Said in thought.

"It's a good thing that our ships can go to sea twice a day and earn more gold." Wanyue Mulan nodded with a smile.

"Okay, the specific situation will be left to the operation of the storm, the construction of medium-sized passenger ships will be accelerated in the past two days, as long as our craftsmen meet the manufacturing conditions of large passenger ships, the construction of medium-sized ships will be stopped immediately, we need larger ships." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Understood." All the commanders were pleasantly surprised.

According to the efficiency of their current dockyard workshop, they can build at least 14 medium-sized passenger and cargo ships in one day, and improve the skill proficiency of the dockyard craftsmen 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 method of large ships will be immediately mastered by players!

"It seems that there is also a need to build more shipyards and harbors." Jing Lan said with a smile.

The discovery of the La Mer Islands, and so many resources on the island, gives everyone confidence in what the future holds.

But Li Ming was still a little uneasy in his heart, since the other party had established a seaport earlier and had a fleet, then there must be more overseas discoveries on their side, and the two sides really want to compete on the ocean, I am afraid that the current progress of the three major alliances is only much inferior!

We must find a way to quickly close the gap between them, at least not too far behind.

That's right, sabotage!

In Li Ming's heart, a bad idea suddenly popped up......

However, it is not an easy task to undermine in secret, and it is necessary to take a long-term view.

But Li Ming already has some ideas about the candidates for sabotage......

At this time, the players exploring the islands kept coming new news, and the monsters on these islands were really in the range of level 60-69, as long as they were not more than level 65, players could easily deal with them.

"Double-check each island, record the resources, and we'll go back the way we came in an hour." Li Ming gave the order.
