"My God, Moonstone Mother-of-Pearl Gold... Although its energy is a bit weak, it's far superior to what we use now for energy conduction!"
Even Sun Yiming, who was used to seeing good things, had his eyes shining and was rubbing his hands together and chuckling.
"Sister Xi, did you...did you raid the lair of some overlord in the Abyss?"
"Pfft! That's right! Don't you even know who went with Boss Yu!"
Flamescale puffed out its chest triumphantly, wagging its tail even more enthusiastically, as if it, a single fish, had carried all these materials back with it.
Ais glanced at it without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to say, "What does this have to do with you?"
Gu Xi raised her hand to suppress the gasps of surprise from the crowd.
"These are just some of the results. With these materials, we have a solid foundation for building the island."
She paused, her expression turning serious. "But materials alone aren't enough. The core of building the island lies in this."
She carefully took out a sphere that emitted a soft white light; it was the "Heart of the Island".
As soon as the sphere appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become fresher, and an indescribable, vibrant energy spread out, invigorating everyone present.
"This is the 'Heart of the Island'?" Sun Yiming moved closer and examined it carefully. "It looks... amazing."
“The Heart of the Island is the core of the island’s energy and the foundation of the entire island’s existence,” Gu Xi explained. “We need to choose a suitable location to place it there. Once successfully placed, it will be able to draw energy from the ocean, gradually build the prototype of the island, and form a stable energy field as the basis for our subsequent construction.”
She explained in detail how to use the Heart of the Island, as well as the preliminary construction plan.
Utilizing the basic energy field formed by the heart of the island, and combining it with existing materials, the basic framework and defensive facilities of the island were prioritized for construction.
Listening to Gu Xi's description, the excitement on everyone's faces intensified, as if they could already see the magnificent island standing on the sea.
The previous tension and doubts dissipated in the face of the truly rare materials and the magical heart of the island.
"Sister Xi, whatever you say, we'll do it!" Sun Yiming was the first to speak up, patting his chest confidently. "Our manpower and equipment are all ready, and we can start work anytime!"
"That's right, our Shark Gang will also obey Sister Xi's orders!"
"Count us in for the elite team!"
Representatives from other organizations also responded enthusiastically.
“Very good.” Gu Xi nodded. “Then, the first step is to determine the location for the Heart of the Island. This is related to the future development and security of the island, so we must be careful.”
In the following time, everyone got busy.
Several experienced explorers and survivors with some knowledge of the marine environment took out rudimentary nautical charts and detection equipment, and, combined with information about the surrounding sea area provided by Sun Yiming and others, began preliminary screening.
"The water depth in this area is suitable, around 300 meters. It's not too deep, which is convenient for subsequent operations, but it's not too shallow either, which would make it easy to be affected by wind and waves."
"How are the ocean currents? They can't be too strong, otherwise the energy field will be unstable, and it will be inconvenient for ships to travel."
"Yes, the ocean currents here are relatively gentle, and there is an underwater ridge nearby that can act as a natural barrier."
"What about the seabed geology? Let's not choose a spot near a volcano or on a fault line," a cautious-looking middle-aged man asked. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
