Pirate's Intrusion System

Walking on the stairs made of marble, Zong Yan felt amazing.

Bend down and touch the island clouds outside the stairs, they are soft and soft.

But the steps under your feet seemed to be made of stone.

Seeing this scene, Kuro introduced it systematically.

"The White Sea we are in refers to all special clouds that are 3000 meters above the White Sea and 10000 meters above the ground."

"Only the sea clouds are different from the White Sea."

"The Baibai Sea naturally forms two structures: sea clouds and island clouds. Sea clouds are like the sea, and island clouds are like land. Although it is soft, it can indeed grow plants, so wild creatures can survive and form conditions for human habitation.”

"Later, the Kongdao people invented the technology of cutting the island clouds and pressing them into stone-like blocks to make marble, and they were able to build today's houses."

"Because naturally formed island clouds are a bit irregular, and the technology for cutting island clouds is very simple. So Sky Islanders particularly like to build artificial island clouds."

"If we describe Djerba as a platform, the naturally formed island cloud is the first layer, and the place we are now is the second layer of micro island cloud, just like the mountains on the ground. The only difference is that it is man-made of."

Will nodded. This was basically consistent with the information in his memory, but more comprehensive.

It seems that Kuro has really done a lot of homework in the past two days.

These words seemed to be explained to Zong Yan, but they were actually meant for him to listen to.

Kuro continued: "Place the marble on the island cloud to form a staircase. Then artificially create a flat land on the second layer of island cloud, and build houses on it."

"The island cloud we are currently on is enough for our whole group to live on. But considering the privacy, I plan to hire people to continue to expand this island cloud in the future and build a third island cloud on top of it."

"In the future, the second floor will be where ordinary crew members live, and the third floor will be where senior executives live and discuss matters."

Will nodded, "You can just decide for yourself on that kind of thing."

At this time, the three finally reached the top of Island Cloud.

A huge palace appeared in front of you.

According to Will's visual inspection, the sum of the upper and lower floors of this palace exceeds 1 square meters at least. Approximately the size of one and a half football fields in another world.

Zong Yan murmured: "This is too big."

Kuro smiled and said: "This is also due to the characteristics of the sky island. The most indispensable thing here is the island cloud."

"As mentioned before, island clouds were originally formed naturally. After the Kongdao people invented a way to cut island clouds, they gradually discovered that the cut off parts would naturally form new ones in their original positions after a period of time. The island cloud."

This is the part that Will has never heard of before, "That is to say, the island cloud is a renewable resource."

"That's how it should be, and the deciding factor is location."

Will murmured, "Doesn't that mean we can produce unlimited island clouds?"

Kuro replied, "Theoretically, nothing can be produced infinitely. But according to the information obtained, there are hundreds of cloud-cutting fields on Djerba Island, and they cooperate with each other to produce, and the final effect achieved is Djerba The island cloud area of ​​the island is constantly increasing."

Will said: "So the people here like to create higher-level artificial island clouds and build houses so huge, right?"

Qrow bowed, "That's right."

"On the other hand, because Qinghai is an island and lacks land, houses are generally built smaller."

"This palace does come from a local businessman. It is large, but in the eyes of Kongdao people, it is not as valuable as a house of several hundred square meters standing on the land."

Will nodded.

Entering this palace, the first floor is a completely open platform. There are windows, but no glass. The spring-like climate of Baibaihai all year round makes this design extremely comfortable and makes the view wider.

Looking up, the ceiling is inlaid with shells.

"Are they all Deng Bei?"

"Yes, young master. These lamps absorb sunlight during the day and will automatically glow at night."

Will thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but secretly laugh.

"There are at least hundreds of lamp clams on this floor. If you put them below, they would be enough to buy an island."

Zong Yan said happily, "Then we are sitting on a golden mountain?"

Kuro nodded, "You can almost say that. Shellfish seem to be a natural resource that can be seen everywhere here, and they are completely collected from the wild. In fact, no one wants to cultivate them artificially, because the energy spent does not match the returns."

"But if you put it in Qinghai, it's like a rare treasure."

"As long as we can master a stable way to enter and exit Baihai and Qinghai, it will be equivalent to sitting on a treasure mountain."

Zong Yan nodded, "Indeed, we can't rely on Young Master to fly up and down every time. We must develop a route."

Will shook his head and said: "Even if we find a stable road, we cannot export shellfish resources to Qinghai endlessly."

The two looked at him strangely.

Will added: "After all, scarcity is more valuable."

The two nodded as if they suddenly understood.

But in fact, this is not just a question of price, but also involves economic principles.

But there is almost no economics in this world, so Will didn't say much.

In the memory he got, although the other party was not an economist, he still used many living examples as illustrations.

There is an ancient dynasty called Ming in my memory. The Ming Dynasty used silver as its currency, but there was actually no large amount of silver produced domestically.

As a result, during the Age of Discovery in that world, a country called Spain discovered huge reserves of silver mines on the American continent.

So Spain began to frantically send cheap silver to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for exquisite silk, porcelain, tea and other luxury goods.

By the time the Ming Dynasty reacted, its economy had been severely impacted. Prices have skyrocketed, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to survive.

It directly contributed to the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy.

In Will's case, although Bei Resources is not Qinghai's direct currency.

But when he obtains a stable route, he can export much more shellfish resources to Qinghai than its total stock.

Moreover, shell resources are different from currency in that they have actual value in themselves.

Lamp shells that can emit light, flame shells that make fire, sound shells that store sounds, etc. From life to battle, every corner is covered.

If it is exported in large quantities, it is almost equivalent to bringing the cultures of two completely different worlds into conflict with each other, and the impact will be extremely far-reaching.

It will add a huge variable to the future world.

And what does Will get?

In fact, nothing is gained.

At best, you can only accumulate a lot of wealth in the short term, but in the long term, you may lose more than you gain.

On the contrary, variables will definitely change history.

This will greatly distort the memories he gets, thereby shrinking the knowledge in his mind.

It can be said that it will be harmful to Will but not beneficial at all.

He put his arms around their shoulders and said, "First we need to find a stable shipping route, and then slowly open up the market with Kongdao's resources."

"This will be the source of the future wealth of the King Pirates."

"Don't rush, take your time."
