Chapter 521 Scope Change
A small number of short encounters took place at the border of the airspace radius controlled by the territory, and small-scale conflicts between the patrol team and the air pirates continued.
The only thing that made the patrol team feel difficult was that the sky islands of the Southern Alliance increasingly showed harassment tactics rather than direct attacks... As soon as they saw the territory's fleet, they started to disperse and run away.
They adopted a very efficient way of escape, directly shutting down the floating stone engine and letting the airship fall.
Wait until the airship falls into the sea of clouds and then turn on the engine drive to escape the patrol team's pursuit.
This method allowed them to escape the patrol team's pursuit many times while being highly dangerous.
Simple, but effective.
There are no other problems except that it will cause damage to the hull... It's better than being destroyed.
When these air pirates were active, Ji Lin suddenly found that the sub-human captains who escorted trade were more active in paying taxes to themselves, because the active air pirates forced them to move within the scope of the patrol team.
And moving within the scope of the patrol team means that if these sub-human captains have any crooked thoughts of stealing, they will be caught by the patrol team directly.
There are air pirates outside and patrols inside. After careful consideration, they decided to pay taxes to Ji Lin.
After all, the patrols will not send you to the sky as long as you have obtained a mining license, but the air pirates will try their best to find a way to send you and your goods to the road.
It is better to make less money than to risk your life.
As for letting these lords of the Southern Alliance attack the patrol's collection fleet, they have seen sufficient firepower suppression and they do not have the courage to invade the mining area of the territory for the time being, so they can only fight on the periphery.
The governor's plan did not prevent the completion of the construction of the territory's industrial command ship as he wished.
In fact, the construction of the industrial command ship does not rely on the trade of the subhumans, and its construction progress will not be stagnant because of this slight interference. In order to preserve its assets, the Southern Alliance dare not take risks at all.
They have limited airships, and it is better to rob than to carry out the mission of sending death.
Even if the governor completely cuts off trade, the industrial flagship will be completed according to the established plan and invested in resource mining in the surrounding airspace.
In the first month after the resource integration, it was unexpectedly quiet and peaceful, and the various forces reached a very delicate mutual balance.
It was even unexpected by the system.
It estimated that a fierce battle should break out before entering this state of quiet balance.
Except for the Southern Alliance, they have not yet developed and do not even have the ability to affect any of them... Of course, whether they can keep up with the development speed in the future is not easy to determine.
The Ring Island Alliance is still developing its own special biotechnology, preparing to give a hard punch to those who attacked them before, as the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late.
They are not short of these two months.
And the work of the territory is still proceeding step by step, resource integration, and the improvement and production of new technology equipment.
In the middle of the second month after the resource integration, the industrial command ship was tested, accompanied by fleet and mounting tests, and ship-borne mining facilities tests.
In the late second month after the resource integration, the industrial command ship set sail for its first mining trial test.
