The age of great voyages

Chapter 5 Preparations Before the Arrival
Although he grows up smoothly and has no worries about food and clothing, Lin Chen cannot rely on his parents like other children. It is bullshit to say that he is acting like a baby. To prepare, he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, although Grandpa was far away in the far south and couldn't come back to watch his coming ceremony, he also knew the importance of his grandson's first coming, so he specially sent him a long sword made of refined steel, together with a Silver silk soft armor is used for body protection.

It's not that grandpa doesn't have better things, but according to the regulations of the Tower of Eternity for the first coming, you can't bring too good things.

This rule is not a rule of the March Realm, but a rule set by the Tower of Eternity for the first arrival of all descendants from the territorial world. When each descendant arrives for the first time, no matter how many weapons and supplies he carries, Then, the total value of the materials harvested when returning must exceed the sum of the materials carried when it arrived.

To put it simply, it depends on whether you have the talent to plunder resources. In layman's terms, it means whether you have the talent to make money. The materials you bring with you when you arrive are the capital. You must earn the capital back when you come back, otherwise you will not be able to make money. qualified.

The price of disqualification is deprivation of the qualification to descend, that is, no longer able to descend through the power of the Tower of Eternity, which is equivalent to being unable to descend again.

So it's not that they don't want to arm their children to the teeth, but that this rule makes them afraid to do so. Giving things that are too good is not helping the children, but harming them.

You must know that the first arrival is just like a game. The birth point must be Novice Village at the beginning. If you switch to Advent, you will definitely arrive in a relatively safe world fragment. Relative safety corresponds to the scarcity of resources. If the value of the things you carry is too high, It is very likely that the resources you search for when you return are not as valuable as the items you carry. Once the judgment fails at that time, it will not help them but harm them.

So grandpa only sent him a long sword made of refined steel and a silver silk soft armor for his body, and then my sister-in-law and uncle each sent a little money for him to buy some necessities by himself.

Lin Chen's father was the second in the family, with an uncle at the top and a sister-in-law at the bottom. The family was harmonious and did not have all the dirty things in the novels he had read before time travel. Especially the sister-in-law treated him very well and often sent him All kinds of good things, I said last year that he was allowed to come, and he went back to the Far South Territory and arranged a good job for him.

Lin Chen didn't refuse. Anyway, he won't go out to explore for a while, and it will take a long time to accumulate initial resources. It's not bad to follow my sister-in-law during this period.

On the second day after he came back, Lin Chen went out to a market less than one kilometer away from his residence, where he found a foundry studio opened by a clan member from a different branch. The arrows, two fine steel daggers, engineer shovel, and a round shield used up all the steel stored in the space.

Then I spent 5 eternal silver coins to buy a good-quality recurve bow, more than a dozen barrels of mineral water, several large boxes of instant food similar to instant noodles, some things that may be useful in the wild, etc. The store will deliver the goods and move them upstairs.

Wait until no one is there, and then put all these things into the space in the Rubik's Cube, one space for food and one space for weapons.

This is Lin Chen's attempt, and it can be regarded as an adventure.

According to the rules of the Tower of Eternity, he came with so many things. When he arrived, he had to have a higher harvest than these to pass. Generally speaking, it is difficult to achieve, but he still did it, betting that the Tower of Eternity would not be able to Detect what is carried in his cube.

What he gambled on was whether his golden finger could escape the detection of the Tower of Eternity.

This is what he must figure out, and it is related to his future plans. If he cannot escape the detection of the Tower of Eternity, a series of subsequent plans will need to be changed. If he can escape the detection, he will also need to change his plan, but that is for the better. on the one hand.

As he was making intensive preparations, time was also passing by quickly, and soon the day of preparations came.

Early in the morning, Lin Chen received a cheering call from his sister-in-law and messages of encouragement from his grandfather and uncle. Lin Chen went out by car to his destination.

The speeding car passed through a huge rectangular plain. From the top to the bottom, you can see dozens of miles of green farmland. This is the largest plain in the March Realm, and it is also the largest farm in the March Realm. The food grown in it supports the entire March Realm. The needs of hundreds of thousands of civilians are occasionally stored in nearby granaries.

For a territory or a world, the most important thing besides the population is the food. If the population is good, it must be plundered from the falling world fragments, and food will be lacking in any world fragments in the imaginary sea. In the trading network built by the tower, food has always been a hard currency, and food can be exchanged for any material.

To open up a territory, the most important thing to choose a world fragment is whether there is any terrain suitable for planting food in this world fragment. If not, no matter how good the world fragment is, it is not suitable for building a territory.

The March Realm can gradually develop from a small territory and eventually become a world. In addition to generations of Lin clan members constantly coming to the depths of the void to seize resources, the food produced by this large plain can stabilize the territory.

However, this situation has now reached its limit. The output of this plain can only make the March Realm develop to this point. If you want to go further, unless you can find a large piece of world fragments of the plain terrain to integrate into the March Realm, otherwise There is not enough food, the population cannot grow, and the world cannot continue to expand.

Of course, this is not something Lin Chen needs to consider. As a non-direct descendant, what happens in the March Realm has nothing to do with him, but the Yuannan Ridge where the Yuannan lineage is located. Possibility of South Ridge.

Grandpa Lin Zhennan was the seventh son of the Lord of Yuannan Ridge, so Lin Chen was eligible to inherit.

The speeding car crosses the plain and enters a small mountain range. This is the center of the March Realm, and it is also the core of the March Realm. The three major lineages of the Lin family live here. At the same time, the first coming ceremony of the younger generation is held every year. It is also held here.

The speeding car stopped at the edge of a huge square, and when getting off the speeding car, Lin Chen saw the huge high platform in the center of the square at first sight.

The diameter is more than [-] meters, the height is [-] meters, and it is octagonal. It is made of hard granite, and each corner has a thick pillar with complex patterns carved on it, which is a part of the Advent Formation.

This huge high platform is the largest public descending circle of the Lin family in the March Realm, which is exclusively used by the clansmen. Usually, clansmen use this magic circle to descend into the void, or return from the depths of the void with a large amount of plundered materials.
