Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Above Rhode Island, at an altitude of around 10,000 meters.

A huge airship is currently parked there.

And at the bottom of the cabin below it, there is a very strange bulge.

This is none other than a set of warning radars.

Its scanning range even reaches 3000 kilometers.

From the current position, we can even monitor most of the East China Sea, and even half of the great sea and land can be brought under surveillance.

Don't be too outrageous.

The key is that the location of this radar can be moved.

After all, it's an airship!!

With this thing, plus the optical camouflage tower that is being built, then...

Rhode Island's security will be unprecedentedly improved.

The only remaining problem is how to deal with the territory of 1 square kilometers.

Otherwise, even if you have more Baileys, you will not be able to upgrade to an S-level city builder.

To this end, Luo Lan kept flipping through the system's building modules.

Finally, after finding the A-level city builder, a new special building was added.

【Island Expansion Module】

[Grade: A grade]

[Site selection requirements: Sea surface adjacent to the territory]

[Construction requirements: three A-level construction teams]

【Working hours: 30 days】

【Material: Standard building materials】

【Drawing price: points】

[Feature slots: 0]

Follow the system instructions.

This is a building that extends the island territory.

To put it bluntly, you can actually understand it as an offshore platform.

The only difference is that this offshore platform is connected to the island and built so that it looks like an extension of the island.

Each island expansion module is fixed at 10 square kilometers.

A rough calculation shows that Rhode Island's current area is approximately 400 square kilometers, so it is still 1 square kilometers short of the 9600-kilometer requirement.

Then, 960 island expansion modules need to be built.

Good fellow, although if you build repeatedly, you don't need to buy blueprints repeatedly, but each standard building material of 88 points...

8 trillion points!

That is 8 trillion Baileys!!

Luo Lan even doubted whether there was such a number of Baileys in the entire pirate world combined...

It's too ridiculous.

Directly reject!!

But if we don’t use this method, how can we expand our territory?

Luo Lan continued to flip through the pages.

Soon, another special Class A building was discovered.

【Island splicing module】

[Grade: A grade]

[Site selection requirements: the junction between islands]

[Construction requirements: three A-level construction teams]

【Working hours: 60 days】

【Material: Standard building materials】

【Drawing price: points】

[Feature slots: 0]

Like the previous expansion module, this splicing module also has no feature slots.

As for its function...

According to the system instructions, two adjacent islands can be connected.

Not only the surface of the island, but even the part under the sea will be built with special structures and connected together.

Eventually, a solid link ten kilometers long was created.

To ensure absolute stability after splicing.

Compared to the previous one...

This is obviously more practical!!

Just find a large island, drive Rhodes Island over there, and then start the construction.

If the size is still not enough, find a few small islands over there to make up the number.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must first find the golden lion and seize its Floating Fruit.

And all of this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

Because once this is done, Jun Lin will be exposed.

After all, all the larger islands in this world are on the nautical chart. Do you want an island that no one has ever discovered?

Basically impossible.

So, no matter which large island Luo Lan wants to find to merge.

Will inevitably expose the entire Rhodes Island to the public.

Before making all preparations, Luo Lan decided not to rush to upgrade to S-level.

We don't seek to overthrow the World Government, but at least we need to be able to protect ourselves from the World Government for a short period of time.

Only in this way can we come to the surface and start the upgrade process of S-level city builders.

------

Recently.

There's some trouble in Alabasta.

Because the World Government suddenly discovered that there had been no news of Crocodile for a long time.

Even though this guy is a bit of a loser, he is still the face of the World Government and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

If someone were killed for no apparent reason, it would definitely be a big deal.

Therefore, the World Government arranged for members of CP9 to investigate Crocodile's problem.

Soon they discovered that Crocodile was last seen on a volcanic island, and...

In the past two or three years, this guy has been hiding in Alabasta and secretly planning something.

The problem of missing contact was that he disappeared on his way back to Alabasta from the volcanic island.

Whatever the reason, they believed it.

Crocodile's disappearance should be closely related to his plan in Alabasta.

Therefore, the three people in charge of this investigation from CP9, Gabra, Udori, and Owl, set their sights on the Kingdom of Alabasta.

After more than half a month of investigation, they actually found out some things.

for example...

Alabasta has recently conducted several conscriptions, totaling about 3 men.

This, in itself, is not a problem.

After all, it is a kingdom with tens of millions of people, not including illegal residents, and hundreds of thousands of standing troops.

Every year a large number of soldiers retire and new soldiers are recruited.

Thirty thousand people is really not a big deal.

However, according to the secret investigation of the three people, the number of new recruits trained in the Alabasta Kingdom Army is only 1.8.

So, where did the remaining 1.2 people go?

No matter how I checked, there were no results.

All I know is that there were at least a thousand people each time, and at most two thousand people.

Disappeared overnight.

Yes, it's like disappearing from the face of the earth.

These people can no longer be found in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Although there was no evidence, the three men intuitively believed that if they could figure out this problem, they would be able to make a major breakthrough in the case of Crocodile.

So, they simply stepped out of the darkness and came directly to the palace as officials of the World Government.

Directly request a meeting with King Cobra.

The result is predictable. Cobra simply evaded the question with a reason he had prepared long ago.

Of course, the three of them didn't believe Cobra's words at all.

The result...

The natural thing is to go back to my old business.

That night, Princess Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom was kidnapped in the palace by unidentified people.

Whereabouts are unknown!

And Cobra also called for help.

The attack was directed to Luo Lan.
