Almighty Shopkeeper

Chapter 75 B25. Great Development of Rat Island

After everyone started to get busy, Su Fu found a few of his men and asked them to drill into the interior of Rat Island to search for ores.

One of the purposes of his coming to Rat Island this time is to build a base of his own here.In that case, when there is no way out, there is still a place to settle down.

Another purpose is the minerals on the island.

According to the clues Su Fu got from the nautical chart, there are rich minerals on this island, which are worth looking for.

In Aiger Town, the value of each metal ingot is about 5 silver coins, which is half of the cost of making a finished product.

The price of metal ingots is so expensive, but in order to take risks, upgrade, and make money, those adventurers have to buy weapons made of expensive metals.

"Shopkeeper, the scope of this island is too large. If there are only a few of us, it may not be very efficient to search like this."

Beside Su Fu, a subordinate said.

Rat Island is not a big sea island, but it is not as small as the two or three islands we have experienced before.

The diameter of this island is about six to seven kilometers. It may take about a month to quickly explore the island with a few people and find the location of the ore.

"It doesn't matter, you look for it first, and then talk about it if you can't find it. If you are very lucky, you will find it in a short time."

If the person who marked the chart hadn't had the nerve to write down the name Rat Island, there would definitely be a rich mine on it.

As for the discovery of rich ore, why no one came to mine.

There are indeed some doubts about this point of recovery, but judging from the way he obtained the sea chart, it is very likely that the island has not been exposed.

"Okay, let's start exploring now!"

A group of four of them took their tools and set off.

Except that the location of the beach is a piece of sand with plants such as coconut trees growing, there is nothing else.

The rest of the places are covered with dense vegetation, so it may take a lot of time to go out this time.

Su Fu didn't have the idea of ​​entering with a few people. He had his subordinates who could direct him, so why did he go in person.

"Boss Su, we have calculated the site and found a suitable location for the construction of a temporary camp."

Not long after Su Fu's men entered the mountains and forests in search of ore, Liu Gong, the manager of the people hired by Su Fu to come to the island to participate in the construction, came to her and informed him of the news.

"Really? Have you planned the drawings? Can you show me the drawings?"

Su Fu heard what Liu Gong said, and immediately asked him for the blueprint.

"This... we just found the construction site of the camp, and haven't come up with specific drawings yet. I'm here to find you, Boss Su, mainly because I want you to go over and see if the camp is in a suitable location."

Liu Gong explained with an embarrassed smile.

"Okay, I'll go over with you to have a look."

Su Fu followed Liu Gong to the southeast corner of Lat Island. This location is a little higher than the surrounding locations of other islands. It is certain that they will not be submerged due to high tide. The other terrains are too low and there is a risk of being submerged.

Moreover, the terrain is fairly flat, with only a few trees, and it can be put into construction after simple cleaning.

"Okay, here it is."

Su Fu looked around and realized that this place should not affect subsequent development and construction, so he decided to place the temporary camp here.

He just turned around this highland in the southeast corner and found a location suitable for building a port. It's just next to the highland, but the location is a bit small. If a dock is built, I'm afraid it can only dock his ship of origin.

"Liu Gong, what do you think of this location being used to build a harbor?"

Whether Su Fu's idea can be implemented or not, he still has to go to ask the professionals, take Liu Gong to the edge of the camp, and look down.

"Boss Su, this location is really good. It can be planned and built into a seaport."

"But the location is a bit narrow and cannot accommodate too many ships."

"This place is not going to be built into any big shipping port, it's just such a location, it's fine for you to use."

Su Fu didn't ask too much, as long as this place can build a harbor.

If there is no suitable place for construction on the entire island, then he will really cry.

"Since this is the case, then I won't say much. We will draw up the design drawings of the harbor for you as soon as possible."

After Liu Gong finished speaking, he asked Su Fu if he had any other requirements, and then went to lead the workers to start building the house.

I have to say that the special ability is very easy to use.

Those who have the ability to cut down a tree can cut down a tree without any effort. Although this will consume part of their energy, it is better than spending a lot of time to cut down a tree.

Just using energy can save a lot of time, which is acceptable to them.

Su Fu's energy is very important, after all, every bit of his energy can bring him an income of 1 gold coin.

They, ordinary producers, do not have such good harvests.Every point of energy, most of the time, only brings 1 copper coins in income.

After all the energy is exhausted, only 1 gold coin can be obtained.

It is now afternoon, and it will be dark soon. They need to build a temporary camp before dark, otherwise, it will not be so easy to spend the night.

The wind on the sea is acceptable during the day, but at night, the sea breeze will become very cold, which is not acceptable to ordinary people.

So they need a shelter from the wind and rain.

Fortunately, everyone clearly knows the importance of this matter.

After the fellers cut down the trees, other craftsmen began to process the wood into boards of the same size, and then the special builders made these boards into simple and rough wooden houses.

The temporary house just made is so rough.

But it doesn't matter much, they can build better houses later, and now they are just building temporary camps.

In Su Fu's plan, he will build a town with at least [-] people living on this island, so there are quite a lot of places that need to be built.

The regional arrangement of houses, the setting of traffic routes, and the most important water source system.

There are not many fresh water resources on the island. If the water source system is not done well, they will soon become short of water.

Compared with the problem of fresh water resources, food is not so important. After all, a piece of land and a person can grow hundreds of catties of food in a day.

With so much food, if one person eats it, it will not be a problem for a year.

Calculated at this level, a city of 1 people would only need less than [-] people with farming abilities. This number of people with abilities was easy to find.

------

Just as Su Fu was thinking, not long after, Liu Gong came to find him again and gave them the temporary blueprint of their design.

There were not many people who followed the recovery to Lat Island, only more than 200 people.

Even if everyone has a temporary house, under the construction of a builder, it doesn't take too long to build all the houses.

Of course, their construction speed is affected by the initial workers who cut down trees. If the cutting speed is faster and the processing time is faster, their final construction speed will naturally be faster.

It's just that it takes time to cut materials, transport them on the road, and process materials. In the end, they can build a temporary hut in 10 minutes, which is already a good speed.

After Liu Gong informed Su Fu of the situation.

"Well done, at this rate, can all the houses be built before night?"

Su Fu took a brief look at the blueprint that Liu Gong had brought over, and confirmed that the design was okay, relatively regular, and obsessive-compulsive disorder would definitely give it a good review.Then he didn't continue to pay attention to the drawings, only caring about their construction efficiency.

"no problem."

Liu Gong promised.

"That's fine, you go on to work."

Under such circumstances, everyone quickly completed their tasks.

Whether it's clearing sites, felling trees, processing lumber, building houses, building roads, digging ravines.

In just one afternoon, everything has already been busy.

As the evening approached, those who went out to explore the island also came back.

"Well, did you find anything?"

Seeing the strange expressions on their faces, Su Fu asked immediately.

"Shopkeeper, we did find a problem. It seems that there are no other creatures on this island except plants."

No creatures! ! !

Su Fu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was true. Since he landed on the island, he really hadn't seen any creatures other than the vegetation.

All this is wrong, it seems to start from the beach side.

In Su Fu's recollection, although there were a lot of shells washed up on the beach, there was not a single living crab or shellfish, and even some fish and seafood commonly found in the sea did not survive. living body.

Did they slowly start dying as they approached the island?Su Fu is uncertain.

When the camp was established, it seemed that there were no creatures in the soil, nor were there any insects.

As for the animals, while sailing ahead, some birds flew near their ships and rested against their masts.

Now that I have come to this island, all the birds are gone.

"In other words, this island is a death zone. This can explain that although those people discovered the resources on the island, they didn't reach the island. What do you mean by coming here to dig?"

Su Fu felt that his guess was indistinguishable from ten, and that was the case.

"Hearing what you said, the situation on the island is really not right. However, after my identification, there is no abnormal state on your body, and your vitality has not decreased."

"Let's let this matter pass for the time being. You continue to search for the veins. If you find any new problems, let me know and I will deal with them."

At present, it is not known exactly where the problem occurred, so Su Fu had no choice but to stay the same and respond to changes.
