The Shangcheng ship successfully docked at that simple port.
Lu Cheng also met with Zhao Shenhe, the captain of the Shangcheng ship, at the liaison headquarters.
"old road!"
The captain was also an acquaintance of Lu Cheng. The moment he saw Lu Cheng, he patted Lu Cheng's shoulders heavily with both hands.
Zhao Shenhe is a forehead shorter than Lu Cheng and is forty-nine years old this year... When Lu Cheng and he stand together, outsiders would mistake them for father and son.
"Captain Zhao, it's been so many years. Can you change your address?" Lu Cheng took the captain's hand off his shoulder helplessly.
"It's been a year since we last met. Now I should call you Captain Lu."
After joking for a while, Zhao Shenhe became serious. He saluted Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng returned the same salute.
"I want to know what Earth has to say about the mission."
Lu Cheng and the old captain came to the conference table of the liaison headquarters. On the table was a map of the Far South Continent that was still being drawn.
"I also received the intelligence seven days ago. When I received the order, I thought the higher-ups were playing a joke on me."
Zhao Shenhe took a look at the map on the table. Just from looking at this map, he could be sure that this was definitely not a map of any sea area on Earth, but a completely new world.
"Now you should know this is not a joke?" Lu Cheng asked.
"When I came here, I also encountered a fire-breathing lizard, and the pigs raised in the forest park were bigger than rhinos. Even if it was a movie special effect, it couldn't be so realistic." Zhao Shenhe looked at the location with a red circle on the map. "Let's check the mission and objectives, Captain Lu."
"This is the target we need to attack, Gray Feather City, the capital of the Gray Feather Kingdom. However, the target is not the residents of this city, but a monster called the Blood Crystal Beast." Lu Cheng said.
"We have already seen the recorded footage of the Blood Crystal Beast, but the only people who have fought against the Blood Crystal Beast are your troops, Captain Lu. Is there anything we should be careful about?"
Zhao Shenhe also felt it was quite novel when he came here. The target of the Shangcheng ship's first mission was a group of wild beasts, not other ships and personnel.
"The reproduction method of this creature is currently unknown, but they reproduce very quickly. Their sizes range from one meter to six meters. The largest one observed so far is over ten meters."
Lu Cheng opened a laptop and played a video about the blood crystal beast.
The image was taken at the edge of the Royal City of Skare. It features a blood crystal beast that is ten meters tall and shaped like mud.
The soldiers used a righteous rocket launcher and grenades to kill him completely.
"This is one of our main targets. Another secondary target may be the core of the country's earth veins."
Lu Cheng heard from Scarlett's crystal spirit that... the core of the earth vein that was devoured by the blood crystal beast may not completely dissipate, and the energy inside will be transformed into a breeding ground for the blood crystal beast.
This kind of devouring is closer to assimilation. It is recorded in ancient books... Once the blood crystal beast devours the core of the earth vein, it is not only the city where the core of the earth vein is located that will suffer.
Rather, the entire area covered by the core of the earth vein, from a human perspective, the land of the entire country will be covered by something called "blood stains".
Trees will become barren and animals will migrate to other places.
Therefore, the final target of this mission is likely to be the core of the earth vein buried underground.
This is the last resort. Lu Cheng still hopes to rescue it and get a fresh core energy of the earth vein.
After Zhao Shenhe and Lu Cheng continued to discuss the current situation of the camp, Zhao Shenhe suddenly remembered that Lu Cheng would also sail with the Shangcheng ship this time.
"Captain Lu, I heard that you will also accompany us on this mission?" Zhao Shenhe asked.
"The existence of the portal allows me to travel quickly between the city ship and the camp." Lu Cheng tapped the holy crystal on the back of his hand. The new ability given by the seal is quite useful.
Road City is an indispensable presence in the camp, because the engineering team will face some new demands every day, and Road City must be on call all day to help them deliver some necessary tools.
"I really don't understand this world. I hope there won't be any sea monsters in the ocean." Zhao Shenhe didn't quite understand what magic was. He could only hope that no sea monsters would appear in this strange world.
"The route from Xiu Enzhelai Kingdom to Huiyu Kingdom is very safe. Even if there is a sea monster, the anti-submarine equipment we brought with us can deal with it."
Lu Cheng asked Nancy about the route. The route Xiu Enzhe took to the Gray Feather Kingdom was a very regular trade route. The two countries had been traveling back and forth on the Crystal Sea for hundreds of years.
Although there will be some pirate threats during this period, Lucheng does not believe that there will be any pirates so blind as to rob the ships coming to the city.
The discussion lasted about an hour and ended just as the camp bell rang.
Zhao Shenhe needs some time to prepare before it can officially set sail.
At this time, Lucheng received a shopping list from Morris III.
The first things the king of the neighboring country purchased were all small items. The largest order was for the Snow ship, which was worth a full thousand energy coins, a transport vehicle worth a hundred and twenty energy coins, and an off-road vehicle worth seventy energy coins.
Lu Cheng simply calculated Morris III's shopping list and found that all the items consumed a total of two hundred and ten energy coins.
"Why not just put the car on the boat and ship it back together?"
If all the energy Lucheng currently has on hand is counted in energy coins, minus the budget needed to build a thermal power plant, the budget needed to summon the city ship, and the building materials needed to build the camp, the original 10,000 funds were reduced to only 3,100 energy coins.
The cost of this transaction was only one-third, so Lucheng made a net profit of 800 energy coins.
“That’s what I was hoping for.”
After seeing the HMS Uptown, Morris III no longer wanted to drive his own small wooden boat. He urgently wanted to have a modern ship.
"I'll send someone to drive it back for you this afternoon." Lu Cheng took a look at the list of goods and saw a ship agency driving fee and the cost of learning to operate the vehicle equipment.
Morris III was still quite rational. Driving a modern ship is not as simple as just raising the sail.
However, learning to drive in this world is much easier. There are no traffic rules in this country where Xiu Enzhe came. Lu Cheng only needs to make sure that they don't kill anyone or drive the car into the river while driving.
