Chapter 643 is a bit pitted
Starting from the night of November 16th in the third year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao has already started using three territorial drawings in the sea north of Yi Island to add three new islands to the territory of Yi Town.
It was only around 3 o'clock in the morning on the 17th when Qu Mao returned to the civilian pier outside the fisherman's village in the east of Yidao after using the three territorial realization blueprints. It was about 5 o'clock in the morning.
At around 6:30 in the morning, the sun had already climbed out of the sea level in the east. Qu Mao looked at the sea area to the north of Yi Island, and the outlines of the three newly manifested islands gradually became clear. Island silhouettes.
As the sky gradually brightened, Qu Mao stood on the cliff watchtower in the north of Yidao, listening to the clanging construction sounds from the three new islands in the north, took out the binoculars in his backpack, and looked north .
The first time he saw it clearly, Qu Mao felt a "click" in his heart, and his face began to turn bitter.
At first glance, Qu Mao felt that the three territory realization drawings provided by Birdman were a little tricky. Qu Mao didn't know how well other people used them, but Yizhen's territory was really tricky to use.
The three new islands are all rectangular islands. The size of Shangdao is 12 kilometers wide and 20 kilometers long; the size of Zhidao is 10 kilometers wide and 15 kilometers long; the size of Fukushima is 4 kilometers wide and 6 kilometers long.
are three rectangular islands. How can a natural island have a standard rectangular island? How to plan this kind of boxy island?
And Qu Mao used a monocular to look at the past, and basically the three islands were all in a glance. It means that there is no terrain at all on the three newly manifested islands, they are just flat and endless plain terrain, which does not look like a little pit.
It seems to be playing a game in another world, using a map editor to create a new map without any editing.
Qu Mao murmured in his heart: Grandpa, there is no vegetation on the three islands. As newly realized islands, there must be no underground passages. Then the value and status of these three islands may be even higher than Sky Island and Lian Island. not on.
As a flat and endless island, there is no fresh water, no vegetation, and no terrain. Even if it rains, it cannot naturally accumulate fresh water. It must be difficult to transform.
At present, defense facilities are being built on the three islands. Fukushima is a bit better. After all, it is only 24 square kilometers. It is relatively simple to build and the place is not big. It is normal for a small island of this size to have no fresh water.
However, Zhidao and Shangdao have an area of 150 square kilometers and the other has an area of 240 square kilometers. If fresh water needs to be transported from Yidao, there will be a lot of work just to deliver the water.
Thinking of these problems, Qu Mao felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly applied to Xuande for remote communication.
After the remote communication was connected, Xuande asked: "My lord, my subordinates are organizing soldiers and civilians to build defense towers. Do you have anything to order?"
Qu Mao asked: "Xuande, I'm currently in the watchtower on the northern cliff of Yi Island, and I feel that something is wrong with the three new islands that appeared last night."
Xuande was stunned for a moment, and said: "My lord, there is nothing wrong.
Now the subordinates are organizing the military and civilians to build defensive towers at the northern end of Shangdao. Coastal defense ballistas and coastal defense catapults have not been built yet. The geology is mainly sand and gravel, and there is no commanding height, so it is not suitable to build coastal defense ballistas and coastal defense catapults. . "
Xuande said: "My lord, there should be no fresh water, at least no fresh water source has been found yet.
The tide is going to ebb now. Based on my current observations, the sea water in the offshore area is not deep. It is estimated that the ebb tide can retreat about a kilometer away. This means that the three islands are at least the sea around Shang Island. Nor can it be within 1 kilometer of the surrounding area of Shangdao.
We are now building defensive towers on Shang Island, mainly to defend against the invasion fleet's landing operations.
There may be no need to build the coastal defense ballista in the future, because the enemy warships cannot approach the seaside of Shangdao within 1 kilometer, and the maximum range of the coastal defense ballista is within 500 meters, and it will not be useful if it is built. "
Qu Mao said: "I guess there is no place to build coastal defense ballistas."
Xuande said: "Your Excellency is right, my subordinates have not found a suitable location to build coastal defense ballistas on Shangdao.
Although these territories have materialized, the subordinates judge that it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to transform them into livable territories. "
Qu Mao asked a little speechlessly: "Xuande, this is similar to what I see with a monocular now.
Is there anyone on the other two islands? I need them to report to me about the situation on the other two islands to see if they are all like this. "
Xuande said: "Master, Master Su Buqing commanded the residents in Fukushima to assist the pirates in building accommodation and coastal defense facilities, and Master Kong Ming commanded the military and civilians to build defensive measures in Zhidao.
But the subordinates feel that there is no need for the adults to contact them. The subordinates estimate that the three islands are all realized by the blueprints given by the gods, and the general situation should be basically the same. an island, or wait until it rains to spread a ring of pasture seeds? Depending on the weather, it should rain these days. "
Qu Mao was silent for a while, and said: "Damn it! What a fool!
According to what you said, if there is more than one kilometer of shallow sea after low tide, then even the construction of military ports, naval barracks, and civilian docks is not qualified, and the amount of construction projects must be doubled.
However, it is now a time of war, and I am afraid that it is more than enough to reshape the topography of the three new islands.
You are right, sowing grass seeds while it is raining, and planting some pasture grass is at least a little easier than planting pasture grass on Sky Island and Lian Island, and after the pasture grows, it can be used to store some water. function.
Let’s dig the reservoir first. I’ll arrange for people to send the pasture seeds to the three new islands first. Then I’ll draw up the planning map. You can build the three new islands according to the plan. Make do with the construction first, and wait until the battle is over. "
After the three islands appeared, the terrain was so pitted that Qu Mao felt a little depressed.
However, Fukushima is temporarily handed over to the pirates for stationing. In the short term, there is no need to consider it. At least the defense towers must be built on Shangdao and Zhidao.
When the soldiers and civilians landed on the island last night, they did not consider such a pitted terrain, so they did not carry fresh water with them. Even the expeditionary army led the residents, with a total population of more than 700,000, and they had to consume a lot of fresh water in a day.
Qu Mao can only arrange for people to send pasture seeds and three new islands on Danshui, and then consider other transformations later.
