Chapter seven hundred and seventeen: giant ants
Changli said: "The Green Forest is different from the Bingfeng Continent. Many magicians will also believe in the Lord of Morning Light. Most of the troops we brought this time are powers in the world, and the construction is of great effect for them. If you are willing to sell it, the price is not a problem."
Qiu Xuanji said: "I can make the decision on this matter. It's okay if you want to buy the construction. You can give me the style now. On the side of Rhode Island, I will seize the time to build the Temple of Morning Light."
"Very good, the Temple of Morning Light has controlled a coal mine and two iron ore here. One of the iron ore has a lot of companion resources. Do you think it's OK to trade these?"
"Of course." Qiu Xuanji answered very happily. He came over and was originally going to search for the mineral veins.
Although it is more cost-effective to find a place without a master, it is not a loss to dig mineral deposits within the control of the temple. At least it saves the cost of protecting the ore veins.
Then the excavated materials are made into mechanical structures and sold to the temple, and a coolie is formed in the middle.
The temple is rich now, its military power is insufficient, and its army is not armed enough, so it does not want to accelerate its expansion.
In this way, both sides will take the needs.
Moreover, people in the alchemy factory also need proficiency to create mechanical structures for the temple, which is a training process.
There are more and more qualified alchemists in the Sun City of Xiahe, because he has been selling weapons and equipment to the outside world all year round. The alchemist factory has been operating, and the level of alchemists has increased rapidly. The earliest apprentices are now in their 20s.
If there was no business, Xia He would not have trained so many alchemists.
Now as long as he gives the drawings, Sun City can quickly create it. This is a world of difference from the dilemma of having to refine everything himself at the beginning.
Changli seemed to know that the other party would definitely agree, so she took out the prepared drawings.
The structure and appearance required by the temple are naturally the style of the temple. There are some places on it, and blank areas are marked, so that it is necessary to reserve it to refine the magic technique on it.
Qiu Xuanji took the drawings and said goodbye, thinking to himself, the Lord of Dawn is probably much more powerful than his own leader.
It is still a long way to destroy the gods in this world.
Qiu Xuanji returned to the camp and went to see Princess Angelina again. Princess Angelina frowned when she heard that Xia He's people were going to evacuate.
However, the camp chosen by Qiu Xuanji was only more than 200 miles north, and the site was directly selected in the mining area.
There is Fu Iron Mine there, and the earliest batch of steel was used to build railway tracks.
This time, the transport ships of the secondary fleet brought everything that the alchemy factory needed. The alchemy factory in the camp was too small and could only produce a small amount of equipment, which was usually used for maintenance.
After the Duke's alchemy factory is built, it will also transport supplies to the camp.
The relationship between the princess and Xiahe is traded at 30% of the price. Even Xiahe often buys things from the princess. The princess is also willing to buy equipment from the princess. After all, the quality is guaranteed, the structure is more reasonable, and the cost of use and maintenance is also lower.
Even if the price is 30% not cheap, long-term calculations actually save more than half of the money than buying elsewhere.
Qiu Xuanji has this ability. When communicating with others, he feels very comfortable. Naturally, he gets things done and has almost no disputes.
After the matter was agreed, Qiu Xuanji took his people to the mining area.
The location of the iron ore is still in the hilly area, but the ore here can be seen on the surface and is very easy to mine.
Qiu Xuanji ordered the construction of the Hexagram Castle on site, which was built according to the standard of 100,000 people. This time he brought 6,000 people, plus 3,000 people in the camp, which was 9,000 people. Then there were 30,000 mechanical structures, and a large number of mechanical soldiers. It was not a problem to pile up the castle.
Qiu Xuanji chose the address and gave priority to building the core magic tower. This is the center for the layout of the magic net. With the magic net, a large number of magic masters among the nine thousand people can afford the role of protecting the castle.
Without Magic Net, their strength is nothing more than magic apprentices.
Although this place is controlled by the temple, there shouldn't be any demons, Qiu Xuanji dare not be careless. Besides, this place is also the location of the alchemy factory, so it is not too much to protect it.
One of the other two coal mines is within the control of the temple, and the other one is more on the east side. Although there is the power of the temple there, demons often appear.
The temple is quite kind, and two of the three mines promised to give are considered safe.
In another coal mine, Qiu Xuanji sent people to build a small fortress that can produce raw coal crystals on site. The equipment brought by Qiu Xuanji can only maintain structures, but cannot be produced on a large scale. The production line mainly focuses on the manufacturing of magic muskets and robot warriors.
Low-level robot warriors just need iron ore. As for the computing core, they are all brought from Sun City. They are very small in size and do not occupy much space at all.
Qiu Xuanji only took six days to build the factory and the castle. During this time, the royal army had advanced northward, bypassed the temple, and did not clash with the other three temples.
As a result, the other coal mine was also cleaned up by the royal army. Qiu Xuanji immediately sent people to take robots to mine. They were all shallow mines, which were easy to mine. Large machinery roared day and night, and the raw coal crystals were extracted on the spot and transported back to the Hexagram Castle.
Qiu Xuanji was very calm. On the other side of Sun City, he also began to make the mechanical components required by the temple, sending ships to transport them. Moreover, Xia He gave priority to the mechanical components for the temple, and he was worried that the sea would be blocked by the demons in the future.
The demons' starry sky warships were not known where to send them to build. When they succeeded, they would not be able to fight unless Xia He sent the starry sky fleet to come. The sea route was blocked and the supply was cut off.
The magic net mage is constantly arranged in the underground space day and night.
The demons have many ways to drill the ground, so the construction of various fortress camps and underground is very troublesome. Fortunately, the flash dust mixed in various artificial stones is considered a very stable substance, and the demons are difficult to penetrate. The formula provided by Xia He allows the flash dust to survive in the alchemy factory, and the cost is lower. This thing is now a strategic material.
The royal family controls prices and will never increase the price of manufacturing materials.
Changli also sent a large number of magic scrolls that magicians can use to purify the demons.
Qiu Xuanji did not push it away, and gave him a batch of magic scrolls.
The mages, including the magic net mage, have been dismantling mechanical components day and night to understand the structure and facilitate maintenance. The soldiers went to the eastern coal mines in batches, and while patrolling, they explored the depths of the road.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and all three mines began to produce formally. The war between the imperial army in the north was still smooth, and they seized some important land and built castles.
However, if we go further east, the terrain is complex and the army is inconvenient to move. The area of the empire is still a 300-mile radius by the sea, an extremely narrow area. Moreover, the power of the temple is intertwined on both sides of the north and south.
There is no conflict between the temple and the empire, but the imperial army cannot pass by others' territory at will, and they all march close to the edge.
Qiu Xuanji's people patrolled day and night near the eastern mine, looking for the demons who escaped the net.
Further east, there are mountains, canyons, rivers, and forests. There is no flat place. Patrol teams are all five-man teams. On this day, a five-man team crossed a hundred miles east of the mining area and marched in a valley.
Walking in front are ten robot warriors. Behind the robot warrior are armored soldiers, with his four subordinates. Each of the two wings has ten mechanical components and ten robot warriors. Behind the rear are five mechanical components.
The entire team is composed of five soldiers, twenty-five mechanical components, plus thirty mechanical soldiers.
In the sky, there are also small flying machinery. The team leader is an armored soldier. He is a demon warrior and also raises a feathered snake and flies it at a high place.
In Xiahe's territory, anyone who can control monsters will buy a few feathered snakes to keep. The varieties sold in Xiahe are all improved, with ordinary combat power, but they are loyal and eat everything, which is most suitable for reconnaissance in the field.
As the precise archers walked, they observed the map again. They carried magic devices and could draw maps.
Every patrol in a new area is actually the process of adding maps.
"Captain, we have walked too far today. This area requires a squadron to explore." The precise shooter squadrons attacked the armored soldiers.
The armored soldiers waved their hands, and even the mechanical soldiers stopped. These robots had superficial wisdom.
"Well, after checking this valley, we will go back. We will not move forward anymore. Tom, put the mechanical spider over to check, and by the way, see if there are any caves on the peaks on both sides."
"Yes." A warrior untied the box behind him, opened it, and released ten mechanical spiders the size of fists. The mechanical spider quickly crawled forward. The precise shooter stared at his magic map and looked at the area that was constantly expanding on it.
This is a daily task and the reward is not high, but if you don’t encounter any trouble, it is still very cost-effective.
"I found that the cave... there is a contaminated monster, which has been distorted. Damn it, it's a giant ant!"
"What should I do, captain, should I ask for help?"
The giant ants themselves have low combat power, but their number is large. After being polluted, their aggressiveness becomes higher and they are easily violent.
"Wait for a while, the mechanical spider was not attacked, and the giant ants felt weak. Let the mechanical spider see if there is any other outlet in the cave. If not, let the mechanical soldiers go in and spit fire, which can solve most of the problems. I also brought a flame bottle. There are very few giant ants that are above level 10, so don't be afraid."
The armored soldier was calm and composed. He was already a level 15 warrior. If he had not encountered giant ants, he would not have worried about anything.
Of course, the other four people can only obey orders.
