Chapter 149: Forever French Island! (Please subscribe!)
Bruno and Idar’s naval soldiers stayed in the French Islands for more than a month.
During this period, the Idar people traveled to almost every island in the Fran Islands and penetrated into every corner of these islands.
Due to the wonder bonus brought by the Faran Islands, the wonder construction system unlocks new map functions.
Every piece of woodland on the island was marked in detail by the system, which made Bruno once again amazed by this amazing system.
Although in the dark, Bruno could always hear some voices complaining that his wonder construction system was not powerful enough, but at least... Bruno himself was very satisfied.
Contentment is the key to happiness! It is better to have a cheat code than not to have one!
Therefore, the Idar people's exploration of the Fran Islands can almost be described as very smooth.
This is because the terrain, rivers and forests on each island have already been marked on the map of the wonder construction system.
What the soldiers of Idar County have to do is to find the mineral resources, forest vegetation and the fleeing blue-carved golems that have not been marked on the map.
After these days of exploring the Fran Islands, Bruno has been able to confirm that the magic crystal veins and the blue carved golems only exist on the largest island where they first landed.
Since this largest island is located at the westernmost side of the Francia Archipelago, Bruno, who was unable to name it, used his little brain to come up with a very resounding name for it - Ile de France! The island located at the westernmost side of the Francia Archipelago is called Ile de France...
No problem! That makes sense!
Moreover, under the control of the well-trained Idar soldiers, Bruno could shout out responsibly...
No one can break through the French Island! As the largest island in the French Islands, the French Islands have the only magic crystal and source stone vein in the French Islands.
According to Bruno's estimation, the total reserves of magic crystals on the French Island should not be inferior to the magic crystal vein near the Almis Mountains!
Speaking of Originium,
After a month-long period, under the guidance of the great Count Bruno of Idar (emphasis added),
The Idar people finally figured out the time and steps required to transform magic crystals into originium.
Step 1: Dig out magic crystals from the magic crystal veins.
Step 2: Divide the magic crystals mined from the magic crystal veins into small pieces the size of fists.
Step 3: Arrange these divided magic crystals neatly on the ground of the Fran Islands to receive the harassment of divine power.
Step 4: After three days, under the repeated attacks of divine power, the internal structure of these magic crystals will be destroyed by divine power, and then rearranged to form new crystals. This is what Bruno calls the source stone.
However, because the magic power on the French Islands is extremely thin, only after taking these source stones away from the French Islands can Bruno know the true data of the degree of magic power absorbed by these source stones in the air.
But what surprised Bruno was that although the divine power on the Fran Islands had a natural aversion to magic.
However, these magic crystals that have been conditioned by divine power can absorb the free magic power in the air...
However, these changes are obviously not within the scope of what Bruno needs to consider in the short term.
Moreover, due to the existence of the Blue Carved Golem and the Originium veins, after careful consideration, Bruno decided to build France Island into the first largest naval base outside the mainland of Idar.
After all...as a former natural harbor, Île-de-France has a unique deep-water port that is extremely suitable for ships to dock.
In addition, the Fran Islands are basically located on the central axis of the Merlin Gulf. Therefore, it can also be regarded as a transit station connecting the Odin Empire and the King of Basel, and it is also a must-go place in and out of the Merlin Gulf! Therefore, the French Island will become the only one of the eight islands in the Fran Islands, and the only place in the Idar Territory that is completely controlled by the Idar army!
This is not only due to the importance of the Originium veins and the special geographical location of the Fran Islands, but also to protect and explore the human relics from thousands of years ago that remain on the islands.
As mentioned in the wonder construction system, as an important port thousands of years ago, in addition to the traces of man-made mines, there are still many other human relics on this island! The ancient streets near the coast, the dilapidated old castles and even the broken stone walls that are still standing, these things that should have been annihilated in the long river of time, have been preserved due to the existence of divine power.
Therefore, these human remains from thousands of years ago are of great significance to Bruno's exploration of that completely blank period of history! Of course, in addition to the largest French Island, the other seven islands also have their own advantages.
After all... the natural wonders are here! According to the system map, the Fran Islands in the Merlin Bay are located near a warm current.
This indirectly leads to the fact that the climate of the Francais Islands is warm and humid all year round, which is somewhat similar to the subtropical climate of the previous life and is similar to the climatic conditions in the southeast of Basel.
This also means that tropical cash crops like sugar cane can be grown on the land of the Fran Islands! Sugar production, paper making and wine making, if Bruno decides to grow sugar cane on the Fran Islands, what a perfect cycle chain it will form!
but……
In Bruno's opinion, how could such a good place as the Fran Islands be used simply to grow sugarcane? This is not because growing sugarcane is bad, but because raw materials such as bagasse can be purchased at a very low price in the Kingdom of Basel.
The so-called transportation cost is actually the least thing to worry about. After all... in this era, serfs have always been the cheapest labor force! If Bruno is a little more ruthless, then as long as these serfs escorting the bagasse are not starved to death, they don't even need to be paid! Of course, as an outstanding young man of the new era with a sense of justice, Bruno will definitely not do such a wicked thing!
At least... he wouldn't make such a request to the serfs in Idar County...
Besides,
It is very important to
If the Fran Islands were also used to grow sugarcane, the variety of goods in Idar Territory would be too single, which would be detrimental to the full development of various industries in Idar Territory and the adjustment of Idar Territory's income structure.
Once someone gets stuck in the neck at some point, or the sales of a certain product are blocked, then the gold coin income of Idar County will become extremely tight! Therefore, Bruno set his sights on other things.
after all……
The Fran Islands are not suitable for growing crops such as potatoes and corn. Therefore, it can be said that it is the only place in Idar Territory where tropical cash crops can be grown on a large scale.
So, he naturally had to plan carefully.
At this time, coffee and tobacco naturally appeared in Bruno's mind.
