Heart of Empire

Chapter 241: resource point on the island

Views:

Population is always the primary productive force, especially the population of elves with relatively high overall quality.

When the level of the tree of life is raised to level three, the subordinate buildings are also allowed to be promoted to level four, and the divine guide tree tower is the most important.

It's very simple, when the Divine Guidance Tree Tower is upgraded to level four, the number of elves that can be attracted and recruited from different worlds every week has reached sixty or seventy people.

When an average of nearly ten elves came from another world with a heart of loyalty to Dane every day, it was obvious that his power would grow at a very considerable rate.

With the same value, there is also the refugee camp at the base of the White Wolf Castle. It was a building that was also placed in the first important position by Dane. The human population recruited by the refugee camp was much faster than the elves, and the growth rate was about twice. At present, the three-level refugee camp can recruit about one hundred human population a week. After upgrading to the fourth level, this number will become between one hundred and fourteen to one hundred and five.

Buildings related to the improvement of military strength and the training of arms can be put aside first. These two buildings that are directly related to the increase of population must be built first.

In addition to these buildings, Auriel City also has its own characteristic elf production building - Moonblade Ballista Workshop.

The Moonblade Ballista is similar to human cannons, so of course its characteristics are different. Cannons are more destructive to fixed targets such as city walls, while the rotating moonblades fired by the Moonblade Ballista are more terrifying to flesh and blood.

The most critical advantage is that the moonblade ballista is much faster than the artillery during the march. After all, this kind of thing with four wheels is not as heavy as the artillery made of all iron.

As for other economic buildings, they are not too different. But obviously, the elves are better at the mysterious magic workshop than the temple forces.

The magic workshop and magic academy that were not built in White Wolf Castle, Dane is planning to build on Comilla Island.

"Potion Alchemy Workshop... Enchanting Workshop..." Dane slid his hand consciously on the building panel, and soon, the two buildings he whispered were pulled into the building sequence , waiting for the elves to build it after completing the upgrade of the magical tree tower.

After finishing these, Dane turned his target to the resource building on Comilla Island. He wanted to see if there would be any special resource points on the island.

Don't say it, there really is.

"It has been detected that there is a special resource point within the scope of the territory - the black crystal vein. Would you like to spend 500 empire points to unlock the special mineral vein mining building?"

He froze for a moment, and quickly checked the map. The resource point appeared in the north of Ghost Knife Port, at the foot of the mountain range that traversed the entire Comilla Island and divided the entire island into two.

This surprised Dane a little. He remembered that he must have dispatched people to investigate all the controllable places in the surrounding area. If there were black crystal veins, it would be reasonable to find them.

Soon, his doubts were answered in the system.

It turns out that the black crystal vein is hidden in the mountain. According to the normal exploration and mining technology in this world, it is basically impossible to find that vein, let alone mine it.

But how can this be difficult to beat the "Dynasty Heart" system? As long as Dane pays empire points and resources for the elves to build, then the formed black crystal mine can be directly connected to the black crystal veins in the mountain, and mining workers can be sent to mine the expensive black crystals. come out.

However, what Dane worries about is whether the mined black crystal is the polluted one snatched from the underground world, or the original pure black crystal

However, there is no need to think about these things. Although, this is not as fast as going to the underground world to snatch it. After all, the grade of this resource vein is not high, and it cannot accommodate too many miners to work, and it is not known whether the mined black crystals are needed or not. Needs to be purged again, but—

According to the system's estimate of that resource point, the value of the mined black crystals can reach about 10,000 gold coins on a monthly basis.

These black crystals can also be taken to the enchanting factory and used as special enchanting materials. Or when the magic blacksmith shop is opened in the future, it can also be used to directly make raw materials for magic weapons, and its value will be very high. What's more, even if this is not counted, just selling raw materials can achieve a monthly income of almost 10,000 gold coins, which is enough to make Dane jealous.

Compared to the income of 10,000 gold coins per month, what is 500 empire points? So what if the required construction resources cost 10,000 gold coins? Nothing can stop Dane from building it!

In addition to the black crystal veins, there is also a resource building exclusive to the elves, which Dane really wants to build—the pool of wood spirits. The effect of this building is very simple. After building it, the elf is endowed with the ability to absorb the spirit of the tree from the tree. After these tree spirits are absorbed, they will be sent to the pool of wood spirits, where they will be transformed into real wood, and treated as wood resources by the system's population, which can be directly used in the construction and upgrade of the system base. .

It's not that Dane hadn't thought about the forests around Orienado that were planted under the leadership of Druid Faro before. This large forest that has been spawned can also be used as timber resources after being cut down.

However, farming is not easy, and planting trees is even more difficult. It would take a while for a tree to grow to ten years old, even with the birth of Fal'o and the cultivation of a living tree. But how much is a ten-year-old tree worth? And a unit of wood is almost equivalent to buying one hundred gold coins in the market. In Sandy Bay Harbor and even in the whole of Schindler, the value of wood is much more expensive than the market price. After all, on the loess wasteland, wood is much harder than stone. A large amount of wood used in the wilderness is actually imported from other countries and regions.

Then one can imagine, how much damage will the forest be caused by cutting down a unit of wood? What's more, Dane must also consider the emotions of the elves who live in the forest and love the forest.

After comprehensive consideration, he had to give up those ideas.

But now, if the wood spirit pool is built, there is no need to worry about it. The elves endowed with the ability to collect the spirits of the trees can use them on trees without harming the trees themselves. Even, this itself is a symbiotic relationship. The elves, creatures born from the world and the tree of life, accompany a tree for a long time, which will further help the growth of the tree! (To be continued.)
