Chapter 1272 The canal economy starts, the first wave of passengers from distant places!(1/2)

The sky in the wasteland June is like a fickle girl.

Sometimes it is as bright as summer, and the sun shines on the earth, making people completely forget the depression I had been in the past few months.

Sometimes it is as haze as winter, with dark clouds, and the temperature drops to around zero overnight.

Because the time calendar is two months later than the earth, there is still one month before the real summer arrives, but this does not affect the survivors' enthusiasm and expectations for future life.

The reason is simple.

First, because the punishment disaster that was originally expected to bring a devastating blow to the New World has caused very little lethality.

If there is a clear statistics, it may be far less than the players eliminated in the first acid rain.

This unexpected result directly made all players who had just migrated to the New World completely let go of their fears.

With the development of the territory system, I began to have more ideas about this land.

Second, as the earthquake ended, the busy spring plowing was in full swing, ushering in the busiest stage.

Looking down at the entire New World from a high altitude, whether it is the southern fire domain with fertile land or the slightly ordinary western wilderness, the central holy land, and large pieces of arable land have been carefully opened up like chess boards, presenting a vibrant scene.

In the barren northern ice field, although large-scale planting is not possible, with the support of the "Star Plan", the busyness here is no less than that of several other sectors.

Under the strong call of Kasheng, eight million workers came out in full swing and launched an impact on the rich minerals.

This move not only greatly enriched the Northern Alliance's own resource reserves, but also made perfect preparations for the next transaction. Just waiting for the cargo ship to take advantage of the flow of the Dragon Fairy River to transport these precious grains to places where they need to buy a large number of scarce resources.

Of course, when it comes to trading, we have to mention the third most important reason.

The initial prosperity of the canal economic belt.

The Dragon Fairy River, which winds the entire five major sectors of the New World, naturally brought a lot of communication and exchanges.

In the past, due to the vast area of ​​the New World and the difficulties in land transportation, contact and exchanges between major territories were greatly restricted.

Even the two territories, which are only 300 kilometers apart, are almost insurmountable for 99% of survivors who are still walking on their doorstep.

This geographical barrier undoubtedly seriously restricts economic development and territorial cooperation.

However, as the waterways of the Giant Dragon Fairy River were gradually opened up and used, all of this had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now even though the distance between territories doubles to 500 kilometers and 600 kilometers, due to the convenient ship transportation, survivors can easily reach their destination in just a few days, and they do not have to endure too much fatigue on the way.

And most importantly, the goods finally have a carrier for transportation transactions!

In the past, due to the lack of effective transportation tools, the circulation of goods that humans cannot bear was greatly restricted. Now ships have become important vehicles for cargo transactions, allowing various commodities to arrive at their destinations quickly and safely.

Even though there are actually no resources to trade in major territories, it still makes people feel excited after a while!

"Hold on, and hold on to this road, and today we can reach Su Shen's territory!"

Starting from the pier close to the Tianyuan Territory, it continues to the northwest.

In a water area of ​​about 300 kilometers, more than twenty small boats carried hundreds of people to sail on the wide river surface with difficulty.

It is different from the long-distance ships built on the sea that the survivors spent half a year.

It has only been ten days since the end of the earthquake. Even if the territory without industrial capacity is spent, it can only make some small sampans.

It would be fine if this kind of sampan sails on the river without wind and waves, but if there is a strong wind on the river surface, it would be left to fate.

Fortunately, all the way, I learned about the location of Tianyuan territory and sent people to inquire.

A small fleet of ships in this territory, a few ships in that territory, and more than a dozen territories have formed a small fleet of ships, which has a little ability to resist risks.

It seems like a gust of demonic wind is blowing now. Although more than 20 sampans connected by hemp ropes are undulating and swaying, none of them are directly overturned by the wind and waves.

After a while the demonic wind passed, the river gradually calmed down, and all the survivors standing on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well done, that's it. As long as we work together, we can greatly reduce the risks!"

Standing on the vanguard, the inspiring captain shouted again.

However, even though the tone of speaking was very excited, everyone could still hear the hidden happiness.

Yes, they have paid a considerable price along the way.

Three ships, a total of more than ten people disappeared into this wide river. If you are lucky, you can wash it to the shore and save your life. If you are not lucky, you can only wait for a miracle to happen.

"Lord Liu, why don't we speed up and try to arrive before dark tomorrow?"

A slightly anxious voice came from a ship on the left. Lord Liu, who was called, nodded slightly, understood everyone's concerns and expectations, so he responded loudly:

"Okay! Let's speed up!"

As Lord Liu finished speaking, the crew members on the sampan took out their oars and began to row hard.

The distance is only three hundred kilometers, and when I think about reaching the territory of the legendary Su Shen.

Even the crew members who were so scared that their legs and feet were weak, felt like they were full of energy.

As the time approached noon, the fleet sailed about 80 kilometers.

If you can maintain this speed, you can rest for one night and you will arrive tomorrow evening.

"Dang, rest!"

Although no one felt tired after the start, Liu Zhi still issued an order to rest.

At this time, the advantages of the small sampan are reflected.

Unlike large ships, the small sampan is light and flexible. With just a little adjustment, you can easily drive along the water to the shore.

A group of people skillfully controlled the ship, and soon, small sampans leaned steadily on the shore.

The captain was responsible for stopping the ship, while the crew jumped ashore, stepped onto the flat wasteland, and moved quickly.

As the saying goes, the division of labor is clear and each performs its duties.

Survivors who have been struggling in the wasteland for a year and a half have long abandoned their modern habits and possessed the lifestyle and style of savage-like people.

Those responsible for making the fire immediately went to explore nearby and looked for suitable wood; those who took out the water took out the pottery jar and walked hurriedly towards the riverside, preparing to use clear river water; and the people who prepared the supplies were even more skillful and had already taken out the large pot and ingredients from the storage compartment of the sampan to process it.

It's very magical. This giant dragon fairy river only appeared for less than a month due to an earthquake, but there were already a large number of swimming fish inside.

Maybe it's the game's launch?

Survivors don't care about this, anyway, they have long been used to such abnormal reality.

With these fresh fish, I can just adjust the pain of dry food when I am on the way.

"Lord Liu, it's better for you to do this, otherwise the Yaofeng would have to lose one or two more ships just now."

"Yes, yes, I used to laugh at Cao Cao's fleet tied up with iron ropes in the Three Kingdoms. He burned all his fire and was brainless. Now I'll try it myself. It's really safe to tie it up!"

"I will be able to reach Su Shen's territory tomorrow. I wonder what the situation should be there?"

After tying wooden nails on the shore and tied the sampan, the heads of the three territories, together with Liu Zhi, walked off the boat and joked.

Of course, Liu Zhi, who had been the commander-in-chief before, was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd.

Nothing else.

Eight of the more than 20 ships came from the "Red Flower Gang" behind Liu Zhi.

As a force that has reached the standard of small territories, the current population of Honghua Gang has exceeded the 200,000 mark.

And by chance, a tributary of the Giant Dragon Fairy River was formed 30 kilometers around the territory, and it was destined to enjoy the prosperity of the canal economic belt.

What's even more coincidental is that due to the influence of the division of the plate, the Honghua Gang was originally located on the east side of the mainland, with a straight line distance of nearly 3,400 kilometers from the Tianyuan Territory.

However, fate's arrangement made them classified as the central holy land section. After the waterway was opened, the distance was shortened to a short 1,600 kilometers.

Everyone present understands what this concept is.

Once the Tianyuan Territory starts trade, the first one that benefits from it will definitely be the Honghua Gang that is close to it.

Whether it is a transit station for goods or a temporary repair site, the Honghua Gang will have a unique advantage.

Even if a little bit of it leaked from Tianyuan's fingers was enough for Honghua to help her eat it.

It is precisely because of this that the Red Flower Gang was so eager to send the deputy lord Liu Zhi to establish contact with the Tianyuan Territory before other territories.

"Brother Song, Brother Wang, Brother Pang, what are you talking about?"

Liu Zhi shook his head righteously: "Behind everyone, there are territories on both sides of this river, and they are destined to help each other and develop together in the future. This time we happened to meet, which is a beautiful thing."

"Especially, our purpose is the same, we all want to contact Su Shen's territory. What's this called?"

"I have a clear understanding of each other!"

Haha laughter rang on the shore, and the crew members had long been accustomed to the familiarity between their captains and each other.

In fact, the same is true. Although the concepts of race and language are no longer so important now, they are all Chinese, so it is indeed easier to get together.

"The boiled fish is ready, everyone come and eat while it's hot!"

"Don't take more rice for each bowl."

"There are some wild vegetables here. Whoever wants to have a meal? Come to my place to collect it."

"."

When it was time for dinner, more than 200 people gathered together to make a meal.
