Chapter 202 Mining and Adventurers

An officer wearing an orange vest over his military uniform guided the soldiers to carry different materials to different buildings. Some soldiers had already put on orange vests and started to mine the floating stone veins.

There were no special miners in the first group of territory development teams that arrived here. The miners were replaced by strong musketeers who carried iron pickaxes and hit the ground heavily.

If the mined stones are left on the ground for a long time, the floating stones that have left the veins will just float slightly on the surface of the veins, forming a layer of stones similar to asteroid belts floating on the veins.

It's like the magnetic levitation phenomenon.

However, floating stones do not have strong magnetism, and are even non-metallic.

The mining area generates one unit of floating stones per day, and the capacity limit is 100 units. As long as they mine all the micro-veins, they can harvest 100 units of floating stone minerals.

Those adventurers are still using rune-carved cold weapons, long swords, crossbows, and armor. There are also spells to release physical phenomena - Ji Lin has already determined the danger level for adventurers who use these weapons in his mind, and the danger is extremely low.

Even if they are dragged into a hand-to-hand fight, their bodies cannot resist the direct shooting of a special musket bullet in the hands of a soldier. In terms of mobility, the scout hunting spider can well limit their mobility.

Less than an hour after the core structure of the outpost was completed, the artificial objects constructed by the projected light flow replaced the original flat and soft grassland and constructed a wooden building. The control of this area has been given to Ji Lin. The so-called stone pillars seen by those people are the visual control points placed by the system in each mining area.

‘Mineral vein control point’

‘Increase mining efficiency by 10%. ’

With the completion of the first batch of defense buildings and resource buildings, the entire outpost control area has begun to take shape.

In addition to the floating stones that can be mined, there is also a rich unexplored stone ore vein hidden under the floating stone vein. What surprised Ji Lin even more was that there were various associated special minerals in this stone mine.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a fragment world that can produce a large number of special resources?

When his control over this place improves, he can move a small number of miners to this outpost and let them mine in the outer world.

There are no large ore veins to be mined in the territory, and Ji Lin has not invested his energy in improving heavy mining machinery. Miners are still wielding pickaxes to dig minerals.

In addition, Ji Lin also found the ship used by the adventurer team to arrive at this small sky island, a cabin ship using floating stone as the keel.

It is plain and simple like a cylinder.

But it actually uses floating stone as the core to drive it to float steadily in the air at an unknown height.

‘Airship’

‘Capacity: 25 people’

‘Load: three tons’

‘Moving speed: 3km/h’

‘Although it is simple, it can fly’

25 people with a maximum capacity of three tons... a steam spider weighs more than two tons.

Without the need for others to teach, Ji Lin is not at ease handing the lives of his troops to others. He uses his own energy to penetrate the control dial and try to make it take off from the ground.

This ship will be sent back to the territory along with the first batch of magic equipment, and will be reverse-engineered by the dean who already has some assistants to see if the technology of using floating stones to make airship-like air forces can be reverse-engineered.

After all, the current academy in the territory has implemented a three-month part-time work-study model, and the dean has a group of assistant researchers to help him work. These students chose to adapt after the earliest complaints, adapting to the school model.

Students from the Holy City have heard that different academies always have their own strange rules. There are also academies in the Knights' novels that require students to work at the risk of their lives!

Students from the Holy City know very well that they can really learn real things here, and there is no life-threatening, but the price is that they are not so free.

Students from the territory are more pure and can learn new knowledge here. They also received the territory education that labor is rewarded, so they are more receptive to the part-time work-study model of paying and getting.

Students in the territory have already enjoyed the right to receive secondary and even higher education in advance, which they dared not think of before.

Immature assistant researchers are also part of the researchers.

——————

The construction of the outpost did not avoid these adventurers who were tied up with strong cotton ropes. Even if their equipment had been stripped clean, Ji Lin could not curb their ability to cast spells.

He could only send people to guard these 19 adventurers and then tie their hands and feet tightly.

The lords had hunting and containment methods specifically for magic civilizations, but that was a matter of the later period.

The energy fluctuations that Ji Lin could vaguely feel were only the abilities of spellcasters. After having a special hunting detector, the precursor of releasing large-scale spells looked as conspicuous on their detectors as a searchlight with 100,000 lumens in the night sky.

It was hard not to notice it.

Hackett was escorted back to the cell where they were imprisoned with his head down. This residence built by them had now become their cage.

There was no such thing as ladies first. All of them were tied up tightly.

The soldier whose arm was broken was also bandaged with hemostatic gauze.

The only thing that comforted them was that at least judging from the other party's strict control and attention to them, they had no intention of killing them in the short term.

They, the adventurers, still had value.

"But what value do we have to them..."

As soon as he talked about value, he became discouraged, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly became low. What value could they have to these people?

Value was their bargaining chip. No matter how small the chip was, it meant they had a chance.

The other party was very disciplined. He had been an adventurer for so long, and he had rarely seen such a disciplined army. Obviously, they would not need adventurers like them to be the vanguard... They might not be able to bring positive effects to these soldiers.

"Have you heard of that legend... It's the latest legend."

The bard in the team saw that everyone was dejected, and suddenly wanted to talk about something to open their minds.

"Several colonies in the kingdom's distant worlds suffered a devastating blow, and decades of operations were destroyed. The messengers said that the largest empire was also competing with these invaders."

Such a heavy loss could not be concealed, and would spread throughout the streets and alleys with the news of casualties.

Their sources of information can only be rumors, and those who really know the truth have always been very secretive about it.

They are all an army of unknown origin, and they all look different from them.

And now they see how these invaders came. Those streams of light that fell from the sky built buildings from scratch on the ground. Even the most powerful wizards rarely have such means of creating things out of thin air.

"Hackett, you were taken away. Do you see that they have ears and tails?"

The bard raised his head and asked. How could these captured people pay attention to whether others have ears and tails when their lives are at stake?

Hackett recalled carefully. Because the three of them had to test the magic props one by one, they spent a long time with those people, and their memories were clearer.

"They have no tails, no ears..."

An idea flashed through his mind like lightning. If they were invaders, they were indeed of great value to the invaders.

"Information, information is the greatest value."
