No coal? No problem, just burn charcoal.
Pottery jars are also of great significance to war. The double-ring pottery jar throwing rope is an important means of attack for the Sea Tribe. A large amount of reserves are needed, so let's do it.
With great efforts, Haifan City regained its former vitality. Primitive people are hardworking and are not afraid of working, but are afraid of having no work.
Haifan City's salt production isn't high, but at least it's still there, right? Everyone can enjoy a salty soup every now and then, which is pretty good.
A month later, maritime trade, which had been interrupted for a long time, resumed for the first time.
The Qinghai Tribe's fleet from the north had arrived. The Qinghai Tribe had to be the one with the highest grain production, right? The Qinghai Tribe could purchase and exchange salt from the East Sea Island, but what about grain? Even if the Tengu and Guilinwang Tribes on the East Sea Island had mastered standard copper-making technology, mass-producing copper plowshares would take time.
Moreover, the Ghost Forest King Tribe and the Tengu Tribe have been constantly at odds over the copper mines of Ghost Mountain, and occasionally engage in heated battles. The current food production of the Ghost Forest King Tribe and the Tengu Tribe is truly limited.
"Potatoes for boats, okay!" The Qinghai tribe agreed very readily.
"Salt is fine too!" Shang Yin is not picky about food, and the current Sea Tribe is really short of salt.
"Where are the fish? Our Kun fish are great."
"We have plenty of kerosene, so we don't need your Kun fish." Shang Yin was pretending to be cool, but he couldn't let on that the Sea Tribe was short of kerosene, right?
"Where's the fish skin? You can't build a sea ship without sails."
"Our own fleet is going back to hunt whales..."
"No, no, our fish skins are cheap."
"Okay." Shang Yin looked very reluctant. Since it was cheap, why should he be polite?
Where there is need, there is trade; this is the law of nature.
As the Qinghai tribe exchanged fish skins, several new sailing ships were born.
"Let's go whaling! I'll lead the team myself." Shuichong volunteered, feeling bored. The naval reserve of the Sea Tribe was not just for show. Although the navy suffered heavy losses in the naval battles with the Allies near the coast, many of the Sea Tribe's ships were destroyed, and many navy members were rescued alive from nearby areas.
Ma Yue was reluctant to part with these outstanding navy and sailors. In the last battle with the grassland people, he did not let these navy and sailors join Zhang Feng and Liu Ta's attacking army until the very end (otherwise, the attacking army would not even have 3,000 soldiers), and the casualties were not heavy.
"Be careful, it's a new ship after all, it's not that smart." New ships do need to be run in.
"Just right, let's get the new fleet running," Shuichong said. What new fleet? Just four new ships, pitiful. However, four ships (two new and two purchased from the Qinghai tribe) were enough for a whaling fleet.
"We have to keep working hard, haha!" The Third Priest was delighted. His efforts had finally paid off. Regardless of the simplicity of the ship, this new sailing ship was already the most advanced of its time, even faster than any other tribe's ships.
Shuichong's small fleet set off, and after a few days, Flint finally returned. He had caught a big whale, which gave him enough money to repair the ship.
There was no shortage of wood, and the sails could be repaired by removing the whale skin. After a few days, the twenty ships were finally repaired.
"Let's go!" With a goal, life has motivation. Flint is now full of energy. After the ship is repaired, the fleet will arrive at Sea Area No. 7. There is no need for everyone to gather together. By dividing into groups, the chance of catching whales will be higher, right?
Luo Bai's red feather message finally arrived. The so-called grassland people who stayed in Sun City were only about one or two thousand people. They had all fled before Luo Bai's army arrived. There was no fierce fighting at all.
Luo Bai did not give up. He occupied the Sun City and then led his army to attack the Poseidon City.
There were no grassland people in Poseidon City. It was practically an empty city. Luo Bai left two thousand people here to boil salt. As for whether they would stay in Poseidon City, Luo Bai would have to consult the charlatan.
I get it! Those grassland people had no intention of occupying Sun City and Poseidon City. Their goal was the warmer areas with abundant grass and water. Therefore, there weren't many people left in Sun City and Poseidon City.
It's better to run away. At least, the salt production in Poseidon City is very large. Oh, the salt production in Sun City is not small either.
"Let's go! Tielin, you go." Since the Poseidon City has been opened, Ma Yue decided to go over and take a look. He took Tielin with him to find the copper mine and start mining it as soon as possible.
"Third Priest, Haifan City is calling you. Oh, wait for Shuichong to come back, and make sure he doesn't run around." Ma Yue continued, "I'll also take a few of the coppersmiths who made the balloon copper furnace with me."
"I understand! Sun City will be safer if it has a balloon team." The third priest said, "Should we take some with us, the deputy guards?" The balloon team also needs to be operated. In the past, they were all close to the deputy guards.
"No need, there are still twenty guards in Luo Bai's team." In Haifan City, there are only forty guards left in Ma Yue's guards. The deputy soldiers can control the balloons, and the guards are of course more skilled.
Ma Yue was going on his own water spirit boat this time, but bringing so many people with him was a burden! If he brought so many people, he would need horses too, right?
For Ma Yue today, it would be meaningless if the size of the guards around him was small.
This time, Ma Yue didn't even bring Xia Wu with him, only Dick, Tielin, and two coppersmiths who crafted copper furnaces. If Sun City's balloon team were to be newly established, they would need a leader. Dick had led the Royal Guards for many years and had personally led the balloon team in attacks on Sun City. He was familiar with the balloon team's attack patterns, making him a perfect fit.
Traveling by sea was much easier. The water-based spirit boat powered by the intermediate spirit stone was too fast, even the spirit horse couldn't catch up.
