Chapter 1143 Jiang He

One thing after another was quickly arranged, and after all the problems of the Mage Academy were dealt with, Luo Ji's attention turned to the development of the navy.

Today's Myriad Realms civilization, if it wants to build a battleship, it is directly a steam battleship. It is absolutely necessary to completely suppress the battleship of the dark elves in technology.

But the problem is that, before that, he still needs to solve a problem that gives him a lot of headache, that is, he does not have a suitable port!

What's the use of building a battleship in Mingjing Lake or Qingshui Lake? This warship can't go into the sea at all! Trapped inland.

As for expanding the territory all the way, and then building ports and warships in the coastal areas, Redis will never let him make it too comfortable.

In the current situation, the best way is to find a big river that is spacious enough to go straight to the sea, where he gets a port and starts to build ships!

In this way, after the ship is formed, it follows the river all the way and drives into the sea.

Luo Ji had already instructed the Eagle Knights under Kalgan to do this.

When they rushed to the Sunset Mountain Range to support the Grey Elves, they went in a hurry, but Luo Ji, who was standing on the head of Ysera, still saw a few rivers of good size.

It's not too far from his Myriad Realms Civilization. If those rivers can go straight to the sea, then things will be simple.

So what Luo Ji needs to do now is to wait for the news, and by the way, ask the Academy of Science and Technology to continue to improve the steam engine to see if it can further increase the power of the steam engine.

At that time, the output power of this steam engine will not be enough, but it will affect how many tonnage warships he can make, and at the same time, the key factor of how fast the warships can move at sea.

Now, going back to the Jianghe side, it would obviously take a lot of time to find out the flow of the main and tributaries of the rivers. Even the giant eagle knights who were flying units couldn't do it in a short time.

Kalgan, who received this task, could only have the giant eagle knights under his command take the measuring tools to confirm one by one.

Following a large river with a wide enough river all the way to the south, after a long journey, a problem in front of him made Kalgan's brows wrinkle all of a sudden.

The big river actually extended all the way beyond the swampy rainforest shrouded in miasma...

In this area, the big river splits into a tributary and extends into the swampy rainforest.

But fortunately, the mainstream is still outside. Following the mainstream and continuing to the south, this inland river has decisively successfully merged into the sea.

The task that His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered, after finally having a landing, also made Kalgan a little relieved. However, the swamp rainforest is directly next to the mainstream, and even occupies a tributary. Obviously, it can't be ignored...

He quickly rushed back to Myriad Realms Civilization with a group of his subordinates. Luo Ji, who heard this report, also frowned slightly.

The news that Kalgan brought back this time can be said to be mixed.

He was happy that he had successfully found a big river that met the requirements. At the same time, the source of that big river was just 150 miles away from the southeastern region of his Wanjie Civilization (the former business empire).

At this distance, he doesn't need to spend a lot of time building a city. He just needs to build a military fortress on the edge of the big river, connected to the port. It can be both a fortress and a port. It can kill two birds with one stone.

The worry is that the swamp rainforest at that location is an essential road, so obviously it cannot be ignored. If there is any potential threat in it, it is better to clean it up in advance, so as to avoid any more troublesome things.

However, this distance was too far. Without logistical supplies, it would be difficult for Luo Ji to send a large force to conduct reconnaissance and exploration.

Compared with this distance problem, that bit of miasma is easy to deal with.

The weather in the south is hot, rainy and humid, and most of the mountains and forests have miasma, which is not a rare thing, so they naturally have a way to deal with this miasma.

Simply put, just eat more barley.

In a flash of thoughts, Luo Ji made a decision.

"Kalgan, this matter is so hard for you to run again. I allow you to take three hundred Giant Eagle Knights and set off in the early spring of next year, focusing on reconnaissance. Once a crisis is discovered, retreat immediately."

"The last general takes orders!"

Kalgan, who received a new mission, quickly retreated.

Then, looking at the map in his hand, Luo Ji hurriedly ordered the head of the construction department to come over.

Let their construction engineering department first send someone to the site to confirm the terrain, so as to determine the construction location of the military fortress, and then send a plan report.

At the same time, for the convenience of naming, Luo Ji simply named the river the Yangtze River. According to the simple measurements of the giant eagle riders, the length is at least 5,000 kilometers. This scale can already be called 'spectacular', but unfortunately, It seems that it does not meet the requirements of natural wonders. As for more detailed data, we have to wait for the people from the engineering department to measure slowly.

All kinds of things are quickly ordered, and the civilization of the world at this time is like a huge machine, running wildly.

During this period, several other major projects within Wanjie Civilization naturally made new progress.

In the railway project, except for the Elven Province in the south, the other three sides, an entire border area, have basically been laid.

Today, within the Myriad Realms Civilization, the number of officially operating steam trains has reached as many as sixteen.

And according to the latest report sent by Goblin Technology, four steam trains will be built in the near future. This popularization efficiency can be said to be quite high.

At the same time, in the northern part, as the first city in the bitter cold land, the Winter City has been initially completed. Although various constructions in the city will take a few more years to slowly carry out, the population can already be transferred. .

As for the choice of the city's lord, Luo Ji decided that it was Hill, the patriarch of the Winter Tribe, among the northern tribes.

As a top governance talent with five stars in command and four stars in intelligence, Hill's governance ability is obviously beyond doubt, and over the years, her loyalty has reached 89 points.

This time, Luo Ji officially named her the city lord of Winter City. Her loyalty should be able to break through the 90-point mark in one breath, and she could be regarded as a trustworthy loyal minister.

As for the defender of the city, he was determined to be the current patriarch of the Ice Bear Clan, Clay. The white fox tribe, the white wolf tribe, the wild boar tribe, and a group of northern orcs headed by Great Chief Luke moved to Winter City, which further strengthened the city's defense.

In the early years of the war in the north, the northern tribes made a lot of efforts, and this winter city can be regarded as an explanation for them.
