Chapter 340 Blue Silver Island Development Plan (Part 1)
Quan Yi looked around and continued:
“The technology and productivity we have mastered have the power to change the entire continent.
However, due to the constraints of other forces, we are unable to display all the capabilities we have on the mainland. "
In fact, this is the most embarrassing point that the Quan family is facing now.
That is because they are not strong enough to protect their production results.
On the mainland, it is still in a relatively peaceful period.
However, the nature of the jungle has not changed.
If other powerful forces discover the productivity of their Quan family, then the productivity that Quan Yi is proud of will be turned into a dowry for others.
Therefore, whether it is strengthening education or cultivating soul masters, the fundamental purpose is to enhance the family's ability to protect themselves.
At the same time, in order to continue to increase their strength steadily and calmly, they need to continue to keep a low profile.
Quanli cannot announce the account ban information to the outside world because of this.
“But.” Quan Yi changed the subject, walked towards the chart with excitement, and pointed to a place.
"Now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that allows us to get rid of restrictions."
The eyes of everyone present followed Quan Yi's fingertips and saw a word.
‘Blue Silver Island! ’
This island is the island where Quan Yi and others discovered the Blue Silver Seagrass King.
Everyone present knew the situation of the island, so when they saw Izumi pointing towards it, excitement flashed in their eyes.
Quan Yi continued: "Blue Silver Island is an isolated island in the center of the ocean.
There are no other islands within hundreds of miles.
It is more than a thousand kilometers away from Poseidon Island.
On the entire continent, there are very few fleets that can penetrate this location. Moreover, before this, the island was surrounded by sea soul beasts, which made this sea area a dangerous area.
However, now, the Blue Silver Seagrass King in charge of this area has been killed by us, leaving a huge island empty.
The island covers an area of 50,000 square kilometers, which is almost the same as the principality.
Moreover, the terrain above the island is flat, the land is fertile, and the climate is close to the tropics, making it very suitable for farming.
A rough calculation shows that we have at least 70 million acres of farmland that can be cultivated.
Although Hanhai City is rich in biological resources, it is not suitable for food production because it covers a large amount of saline-alkali land.
Therefore, we often need to exchange materials and obtain food.
However, if we develop Blue Silver Island, we will not only be completely self-sufficient.
We can even use these fields to cultivate people and recruit people. Even more boldly, we can also build our own country overseas. ”
As soon as Quan Yi said these words, everyone's breathing became rapid.
Seventy million acres of farmland.
With the planting technology of the feudal era, five acres of land could almost feed one person.
That 70 million acres can feed 14 million people.
If they control so many fields and people, the Quan family will grow into a real behemoth.
The temptation brought about by this is fatal to everyone present.
Yun Qiong, the only one present who could still remain rational, raised a question to Quan Yi at this moment.
“Blue Silver Island has great potential, we all understand this.
However, it is not easy to develop it.
First of all, the biggest problem is distance.
It is too far away from Hanhai City, and the location is too isolated. We have no experience in long-distance navigation.
Once the distance increases, the risks we encounter in the ocean will also increase. "
Quan Yi understands Yun Qiong's thoughts. After all, there are only a few thousand people in the Quan family, and among them, less than a thousand can bear the responsibility of sailing. In the Quan family, where manpower is precious, any risk will be disastrous. They suffer from heartache for a long time.
"Grandma, I understand your thoughts, and I am also prepared for the distance. "
As he spoke, Quan Yi took out several drawings from the Heart of the Fierce Sun on his chest and covered them on the sea chart.
Yun Qiong came closer to observe carefully. Among them, The one turned out to be a design drawing of a sea ship.
However, this drawing was not consistent with the sea ship in her impression.
"What is this?" Yun Qiong asked doubtfully.
Quan Yi moved his eyes to Quan Yue and said, "Father, why don't you help me explain what these are." ”
Quanyue cleared his throat and explained: "These drawings are the various steam machinery that Xiaoyi brought back when he came back this time.
And, mother, the one you are holding uses steam power. Steamships sailing in the sea.
With this thing, our sailing speed and stability will be greatly improved in the future.
The distance problem you are worried about will be solved with steamships. ."
"Steamboat!"
Except for Izumi and Izumi, everyone present heard this word for the first time.
Su Ling'er looked at Quan Yue and asked in surprise: "Why do you know this?"
Quan Yue explained: "During this period, you are all busy giving birth and hunting. I am the only one who has free time for the soul ring.
So, Xiaoyi gave me these drawings and asked me to make them.
In order not to disturb you, I didn’t. Say.”
At this time, Quanli was surprised and said: "Yue'er, you are saying that these drawings were brought here when Xiao Yi came.
But, at that time, we had not discovered the Blue Silver Island yet?
Xiaoyi, can you predict the future?”
Quan Yi waved his hands and said: “I am not a god, how can I discover the existence of the island thousands of miles away?
I have been imagining the blueprint of this ship a long time ago in order to bring greater help to the Quan family when exploring the ocean in the future.
The discovery of Blue Silver Island for the first time is just a coincidence."
Yun Qiong said in disbelief: "According to what you said, you must have been thinking about this picture for a long time.
Did you already think of this as early as the location migration?"
Quan nodded.
"Existing sailboats can basically only rely on wind power.
In this way, the speed of the ship will be affected by the weather.
However, if steam power is used, then our ships will not only It can provide a stable speed and reduce weather constraints.
In this way, the speed of the steamship will be greatly increased.
Although the distance is not shortened, the time is shortened. .
And there are not only steamships here, but also other steam equipment."
As he spoke, Quanyi picked up the drawing next to the steamship design and said, "Like this. The picture above is a steam vehicle designed by Lou Gao Shenjiang.
With it, we can modify the shape of the vehicle and transform it into a steam cultivator that can cultivate land.
In this way, we can use machines to carry out large-scale mechanized farming, and it can also make up for our shortcomings of manpower."
Quan Yi's explanation opened the eyes of everyone present.
The goal that originally seemed a bit far away gradually became clear under Quan Yi's explanation.
