Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 166 Chapter 166
In Tang Mo's latest factory building, a room was set up as a conference room, where a huge detailed survey map of the vicinity of Bunas was hung, and a beautiful chandelier was hung on the roof.

Frankly speaking, by the standards of this world, Tang Mo's new building is really a bit extravagant.The whole building has a complete sewer system, and there is also running water, and all rooms with water supply have 24-hour hot water supply.

And the entire building had electricity, and every room was lit with expensive incandescent bulbs.

The basement here is brighter than the bedrooms of other nobles at night, and the decoration design style here is also full of praise from the businessmen who often come to visit.

The complete heating system even made Tang Mo cancel the design of the fireplace, which made the room more clean and tidy, and also saved openings, avoiding the nuisance of mosquitoes.

Frankly speaking, except that there is no Internet and the lighting is not very natural, it is not much different from the houses in the [-]th century.

While the orcs and the elves were fighting fiercely on the Senna Plain, Tang Mo was discussing with Roger and others whether to develop Black Dragon Island first under the cover of new warships.

Roger was a little worried about this arrangement, and he seemed more enthusiastic about guarding the base camp of Bunas: "Isn't it a little too risky to deploy so many soldiers in one go?"

Tang Mo preferred to arrange his business on Heilong Island surrounded by the sea, because his current navy's advantage is much greater than that of the army.

With a new type of warship sitting in command, the defense of Heilong Island can be said to be impenetrable. Now he is more worried about whether the migration of workers can be done well and other issues.

So Tang Mo said helplessly, "There's no other way. What we need now is time."

Roger flipped through Tang Mo's prepared battle plan, and got a rough idea of ​​the scale of this operation.

It can be said that this is almost a large-scale relocation operation with Tang Mo's current strength. There are more than 7 soldiers in 300 transport ships and two reinforced companies, plus 1000 workers and their family members who acted together.

The entire fleet will also carry at least seven steam engine equipment, 40 simple machine tools, five generators and three wireless telegraph equipment.

Looking at the size of the entire fleet, Roger felt that he was a bit conservative in his previous thinking: "A new type of warship, 13 troop carriers transformed from armed merchant ships, and a lot of equipment and tents... It's just... It's just... It's all out."

Indeed, they have come out in full force. This expeditionary fleet also needs to carry food and medicine, as well as steel and raw materials to support the establishment of industries.

That alone is not enough, and then, except for the only steel warship of the Datang Group that is staying near Heilong Island for alert support, the remaining 13 transport ships will turn around immediately after unloading their cargo and personnel, and return to Bunas .

Then these transport ships will once again be fully loaded with cement and steel materials, as well as a second batch of food and personnel, and once again rush to Heilong Island desperately.

At the same time, the only warship from the elves that remained in the port also acted together as an escort warship.

At this time, the sea area near Bunas is undefended, and it will not be considered as having a navy until the second steel warship enters service in more than ten days.

When the fleet arrives at Heilong Island again, where the materials and personnel are put down, the sailing battleship escorts the transport fleet back to the voyage, and the third immigration plan will continue.

After three transports, 4000 workers and their families will be immigrated to Heilong Island, a battalion of combat troops will be transferred, a new factory will be established on the island, and a wharf that can handle goods will be temporarily built!

According to the standards of this world, this is basically the construction of a fully functional port town across the sea. This is a plan that would cost people and money even a kingdom is not willing to implement.

However, Tang Mo planned to use the city of Bunas to support this plan, and at most only added a part of Northridge's support.

Tang Mo nodded after hearing Roger's words, and admitted Roger's statement: "Actually, according to my plan, it is indeed equivalent to moving. I want to build a base there, and then control the entire Black Dragon Island. "

If he followed Tang Mo's plan, he would even focus on Heilong Island in the future. After all, islands are much easier to manage than coastal cities.

It is easier to defend there, and it is easier to keep secrets. As long as he firmly controls the sea and air power, the island's secrecy function and self-sustainability are obviously better.

Moreover, with the development of Bunas, most of the raw materials Tang Mo consumed came from maritime trade instead of local supply.

Although the mines in North Ridge and Bunas are both increasing production, and the speed of increasing production is very fast, but the development speed of Tang Mo's factory is obviously faster.

Therefore, there are not many advantages left in the mines near Bunas. Instead of continuing to expand here, it is more exciting to occupy the island with new oil resources: after all, the steel and coal in Bunas can be sent by ships. To Heilong Island.

Conversely, the secrecy and security of continuing to expand Bunas is obviously not as good as that of Black Dragon Island.Although Bunas is obviously more advantageous in terms of personnel mobility and population, Tang Mo pays more attention to the secrecy and monopoly of the subsequent production of some weapons and equipment.

Of course, he didn't intend to give up Bunas, nor did he intend to stop the development of Bunas.Only children make choices, and of course he wants them all.

He planned to develop Bunas and Heilong Island at the same time. He regarded Bunas as a forward base for contacting other countries, and Heilong Island as his base camp to operate.

To be honest, there must have been some labor pains at the beginning, which would affect his production capacity and his population resources.But the final result must be good, he will have a safe foothold and control the entire ocean.

Roger is still the person he trusts the most, so he entrusts Roger with the task of developing Black Dragon Island, and the other person who assists Roger is of course Tiger.

Tiger's character is definitely reassuring. With him and Roger around, it is obviously impossible for Black Dragon Island to deviate from Tang Mo's control.

"Let me try it... It seems that you have already made up your mind." Roger read Tang Mo's plan carefully, and outlined the appearance there in his mind.

The map John sent was actually not simple. There were traces of exploration on it. In addition to the exploration for oil, it also roughly recorded some topography and environmental characteristics of the island.

Judging from the records, this island is probably located close to the equator of this alien world, and there is a rainforest on it, which probably ensures that the island has fresh water and a certain amount of food output.

In addition, there are birds and animals on the island, which also shows from the side that the area of ​​​​the island must not be small, otherwise it cannot support so many lives.

"I didn't intend to let you take risks directly." Tang Mo said with a smile: "I have already handed over the copied chart to Bernard. He will take a look first."

Ever since Bernard saw Tang Mo's steel warship, Tang Mo no longer worried about his naval commander.After all, as long as he is not a fool, it is impossible to drive away a sailing battleship and betray the idea of ​​having a steel-powered battleship.

Who is the future, who is the strong man worthy of allegiance, Bernard still has a good idea.He is not a fool, so he will naturally offer his loyalty to Tang Mo.

"So, it will take some time for this plan to be implemented, and it may even be after the end of the Cyric Foundation's first war." Tang Mo said casually, leaning on his chair.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ao pushed the door open and walked in. He handed a piece of information to Tang Mo, and then said, "It was just sent from Wangcheng... we are in trouble!"

Tang Mo looked down at the information on the letter, raised his head and said to Leo: "Go and gather everyone and tell them... Cyric is ready to go to war!"

The first to enter the gate was Weiss who was on standby not far away, then Love and Parker. After waiting for a long time, Matthews who was guarding the No. 2 factory area, and Redman and Tiger who were training troops there It was long overdue.

Seeing that everyone was present, Tang Mo signaled for Li Ao to speak.

Li Ao pushed the document to the middle of the long table in the conference room, and briefly introduced the current situation: "About 3 rounds of cardboard ammunition have been transported from the border to Wangcheng... This news has been verified, so We can almost assume that Cyric has mastered the manufacturing process of Remercury, and can produce flash caps and paper casing fixed-loading ammunition.”

"Then we now judge that they have about 13 rounds of cardboard fixed ammunition, which is not accurate." Holding his chin, Loew said in a low tone.

If it is impossible to judge Cyric's material reserves, then their defensive preparations will have to be raised to another level.

Now, the Datang Group's war preparations have actually been maintained at a rather low state.Basically, there is no preparation, and everyone's main energy is still on production.

But if the enemy may attack at any time, the situation is completely different-at least the troops must be mobilized, which will more or less affect part of the production work.

Tang Mo heaved a sigh of relief and continued to deliver the bad news: "There is definite news that they have also started imitating steam engines. They have ordered more than 30 steam engines from us by taking advantage of the scattered purchase method of merchants."

Unlike Thunder Mercury and flash caps, the steam engine is similar to the K1 fast gun, but it is actually not difficult to imitate.As long as the level of craftsmanship is sufficient, even if the accuracy is poorer and the performance is worse, it can still be manufactured.

Therefore, the Datang Group cannot prevent Cyric from plagiarizing and imitating in these areas. He has no patent law, nor does he have the power to enforce the law, or he does not have the ability to enforce the law...

It is no secret that Cyric imitated the K1 fast gun. Depending on the scale of workers, the output of Cyric's K1 fast gun is actually very amazing.
