Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 229 Acceptance of Coastal Defense Project
After sending off the Yuanhang Fleet, Qu Mao decided to go to the three islands in the territory of Yi Village to confirm the progress of the coastal defense project before the Anti-Cheating Alliance's subjugation fleet found Yi Island.

The enemy has a total of 40 warships, with a conservative estimate of 8000 combat personnel. A warship has an average of 200 combat personnel. If one can be sunk with coastal defense weapons, it means that at least 200 enemy combat personnel will be killed. This result makes Qu Mao Some expectations, maybe this is also the key to Yi Village's territory's victory.

Because Su Nan has gone out to open up a new sea route, Su Yan needs to stay on Yi Island to take charge of the overall situation, and cannot accompany Qu Mao to other islands to inspect the construction progress of the coastal defense project.

But now Qu Mao and Su Yan both have the top version of the communication crystal, even if they are not together, they can communicate with each other immediately if there is anything that needs to be discussed.

Qu Mao started to travel among the three islands by himself, checking the results of various coastal defense weapon projects.

The first stop for Qumao was Yidao Fisherman Village. After all, the Fisherman Village is the closest to Yi Village.

The fishermen's village is close to the beach, and two defense towers and a watchtower with an interval of about 15 meters have been built.

Thanks to Su Yan who lent herself 1.5 gold coins, otherwise at least these small defensive buildings Qu Mao by the beach in the fisherman's village would not have been able to be built at all.

Qumao continued to walk south along the coastline of the small fisherman's village, but there were still only a few sporadic defense towers. This area was all flat beaches, and there were no conditions for the construction of coastal defense catapults and coastal defense catapults. It is difficult to exert a defensive effect even if it is barely built.

Coastal defense ballistas need to be built at a relatively high position on the coast, usually on a cliff by the sea, while coastal defense catapults require a relatively solid ground, which is not available on the coastal beaches of fishermen's villages.

On the edge of the salt field, several defensive towers and a watchtower were added, and the coastal defense ballista and coastal defense catapult were also not built.

Riding a war horse, Qu Mao chose not to take the main road, but chose to walk along the sea to the civilian pier.

When he came to the southeast corner of Yi Island, Qu Mao found that there was a new watchtower and a defense tower.

Take a closer look and there are four coastal defense catapults about 20 meters apart from each other on both sides. Between the two coastal defense catapults on both sides, a coastal defense catapult was built respectively. A large number of whole stones and broken pieces Stones were piled up beside the shore defense catapult.

After the coastal defense ballista is digitalized, it has an automatic attack and defense mechanism, but the coastal defense catapult needs to be manually operated by the leaders or soldiers.

Qu Mao was quite satisfied with the coastal defense configuration in the southeast corner of Yi Island, and nodded secretly. Without the militia squad stationed in Jingdong, Qu Mao continued to walk westward along the south beach.

Needless to say, the naval barracks were the focus of Qu Mao's marking.

Along the bay where the naval barracks are located, on the cliffs on both sides, a coastal defense ballista was built every 20 meters, and a coastal defense catapult must be arranged between the two coastal defense ballistas.

Only 10 coastal defense catapults were built, and the number of coastal defense ballistas was even greater.

I dare not say that the Yi Island naval barracks is solid, but the anti-cheating alliance fleet wants to land on Yi Island from the naval barracks, and it has to take off several layers of skin if it does not die.

Continuing along the coastline to the military port, Qu Mao nodded involuntarily.

Compared with naval barracks, military ports have more intensive coastal defense construction.

Not to mention the eight coastal defense ballistas that come with the military port, the two demolished by the skilled workers in Nanlai Xiaocun during reverse research and development were immediately rebuilt, and now eight coastal defense ballistas have been added.

As for the shore defense catapults, there are more than 20 ones arranged on the cliffs on both sides of the military port.

The warship that Qu Mao asked Lai Dima to purchase is currently having fun on the sea in the military port under the command of a fourth-rank water ghost. After all, there are so many military ports, and it is only a single warship at present, so how does the warship want to operate? How to open.

Or this is also the arrangement made by Sylvia Ocean before leaving. The fourth-order water ghost is leading the training of the navy soldiers.

There is nothing to see on the cliffs on the west and north sides of Yidao. After Qu Mao came to Yidao, when there was nothing in the early days, he had already walked several times along the west and north seaside cliffs, and he did not have the conditions for landing at all. However, Qu Mao knew that a total of no less than five watchtowers had been built on the cliffs on the west and north sides to observe the enemy's situation on the sea.

From the military village to the Nanlai Village, Qu Mao had some food and rest in the Nanlai Village, and then followed the Ziguang trail to the outlying islands. The outlying islands are very large, and Qu Mao did not intend to go around the coast of the outlying islands.

From the north to the small village, follow the dam of the Lihe Reservoir to the mountainside on the other side of the source of the Lihe River. Qu Mao walked along the dam of the Lihe River to the seaside of the Licun Village. Two sailors controlled a shuttle boat and walked directly to the shipyard and the small village of Flou.

Li Village is the earliest resettlement site for the citizens of the outlying islands, and the security arrangements around the civilian docks are relatively in place. The defense facilities around the civilian docks are still there, and several defense towers have been added.

Although the shipyard has not yet been built, six coastal defense ballistas and four coastal defense catapults, five defense towers and two watchtowers have been placed on the cliffs of the surrounding bay.

This is because the cliffs on both sides of the bay where the shipyard is located are more inland, and the effect of building coastal defense ballistas and coastal defense catapults is not great. Otherwise, Qu Mao's emphasis on the shipyard must be far more than that. This is coastal defense engineering.

Fulou Village is just behind the shipyard. After Qu Mao watched the coastal defense project of the shipyard, it was almost dark.

Arrange for two sailors to park the shuttle boat by the sea, and let the village chief Lin Kaifeng arrange accommodation for the two sailors, and Qu Mao goes to the fourth-story brick house to find Su Qiaoer by himself.

Su Qiaoer must have known about Qu Mao's coming in the long-distance communication with Su Yan, so she reported the progress of the shipyard project and the construction of Fulou Village to Qu Mao one by one.

In fact, Fulou Village has been built a long time ago, but Su Qiaoer has to pay attention to the construction of the shipyard on the one hand, and on the other hand is constantly optimizing the layout of functional buildings in Fulou Village and the development of cultivated land on the surrounding hillsides of Fulou Village.

After listening to Su Qiaoer's report, Qu Mao said to Su Qiaoer: "Su Qiaoer, at present, the construction progress of the shipyard is more than half, and the coastal defense project is relatively complete.

But after all, it is limited by the terrain, so my opinion is that the small village of Fulou should also consider building defensive towers, not too many, at least the entrance of the village must be guarded, and the route for the villagers to retreat must be considered in advance.

Outlying islands are different from Yi Island. There are no land transportation roads yet, so once the shipyard is breached, the citizens will be in danger.

With the zero-level militia stationed in Fulou Village and the regular troops guarding the shipyard site, I think it is possible to carve out a safe area in the valley near Fulou Village in the direction of leaving the village. It must be concealed enough to hide all the citizens. "

Su Qiaoer frowned, and then said: "My lord, now the lady's opinion is not to start the project casually, to avoid the shortage of gold coins.

Starting tomorrow, the subordinates will lead soldiers and civilians to the valley to find a hidden place, first clear the vegetation, and try to clear out an open space with a diameter of no less than 200 meters. At that time, in case of misfortune in Fulou Village, the soldiers and civilians will use it first. The marching tent is there to take shelter temporarily, but I am afraid that the requirements for our reinforcements are slightly higher. "

Qu Mao nodded and said, "That's fine, but you must have enough food in your backpack. There should be enough food in empty islands, different villages, and villages. You just need to make a trip."

After a night of nothing to say, Qu Mao stayed in the small village of Fulou on the outlying island for one night. Early the next morning, Qu Mao asked two sailors to return to the civilian pier of the outlying island in a shuttle boat. He also followed Qu Mao to Li Village, apparently to transport food to Li Village.

There happened to be a ship moored at the civilian pier, so Qu Mao asked Su Qiaoer to greet Jia Sixie and Jia Chongde instead, while he requisitioned the ship and asked the sailors to transport him to the empty island.

After the last rainstorm, Sky Island took the opportunity to sow pasture seeds all over the island.

However, when Qu Mao landed on the sky island again, the sky island did not turn into a lush green appearance. Only about 30% of the entire sky island was covered with crisp pastures. These pastures were generally not high, only 10 centimeters long at most.

It seems that there are still 70% of the grass seeds on the empty island area that have not germinated. It is unrealistic to expect another rainstorm, and the cost is also high.

After meeting Franklin King, Franklin King explained that the water from the torrential rain quickly evaporated at the heights of Sky Island, and did not keep the water for a long time. As a result, many pasture seeds did not germinate, and some pasture seeds that had already germinated were also not available. Irrigate and die.

It is obviously unrealistic for more than 300 citizens in the Sky Island area to water the pastures covering an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers in the entire Sky Island every day, not to mention that these citizens have to be on duty to produce resource mines and cultivate farmland.

The defense of the empty island is only built around the civilian docks. The original watchtower and defense tower have not changed, and the defense tower at the entrance of the folding space in Yicun has not changed.

However, on the cliffs on both sides of the civilian wharf, eight coastal defense ballistas and four coastal defense catapults were added.

When he first landed on the sky island, Qu Mao had commanded the ship to sail around the sky island for a week. Except for the location where the civilian dock was built, no other location had the conditions to land on the sky island.

Of course, on the cliffs in other areas of Sky Island, the necessary watchtowers still need to be built, and a total of about five towers have been built.

It took nearly two days for Qu Mao to see that the coastal defense projects of the three islands in the territory of Yi Village were all completed, and it was also the best configuration at this stage, far exceeding the 35 coastal defense ballistas when he first borrowed money. I felt a little relieved in my heart.

The only regret is that the outlying islands are too large, and there is no way to walk all the coastlines of the outlying islands.

If there are any loopholes in the coastal defense of the three small islands, it must be on the outlying islands.
