Chapter 752
The biggest purpose of coming to Pisces Island this time is to find out the limestone mine.

The importance of lime is self-evident. In the period without cement, lime is the best cement substitute.

At present, Wanguo City needs to carry out infrastructure construction, and it cannot do without stone and lime.

Stones are easy to deal with, and they will naturally be there when copper is smelted; lime is relatively difficult, and we cannot always rely on burning shells to burn corals.

The discovery of the lime mines on Pisces Island is the most urgent need for the development of Wan Guo City.

After getting rid of these natives, Fang Fang left Blake and others waiting in the village, while he took Li Qingman to go prospecting.

I didn't plan to take Ofina there, I wanted to keep her in the village to help calm the scene.

But both Ofina and Bluto wanted to go with them to see how the equation found the limestone.

There is no way, it is not good to refuse the request of Ofina and Brutal, so Fang Fang had to take the two of them together.

I still have some understanding of the situation equation of Pisces Island. When I first came here, in order to avoid the pursuit of those indigenous people, I played hide and seek with them for a long time. The general shape of the island and the topography of each side are still there. some impressions.

I remember Pearl said that there is a huge stone pit in the east of the island. The stones there are gray and white, and no plants can grow in that area. The bare area is like a big bald spot.

Such a place is very recognizable, and it didn't take long for a group of four people to arrive at the mine on the east side of the island.

The sight in front of me can't help but make people amazed. It really is a barren place, except for the gray limestone everywhere, there is no other vegetation.

The pothole is almost half the size of a football field, and most of it is exposed.It seems that there used to be a mountain here, but later it may have collapsed because of the collapse, leaving behind this piece of gray limestone.

"Pearl is right. There is really a lot of limestone here." Li Qingman said softly.

"If so many limestones can be found here, it means that there are definitely more limestones on the entire island." The excitement in Fang Fang's eyes has been revealed.

Ofina asked curiously: "Is the lime you've been talking about these stones? Isn't this just an ordinary stone, what can it do?"

Equation said: "These are not ordinary stones. After being fired, they become lime, which is an indispensable thing for building a city."

"this one?"

"Of course, you will know after you bring these things back."

Ofina has never seen lime before, so she understands it well. The Tinavians live in wooden houses, and the walls of the city are also made of wood. Stones are rarely used. Naturally, they don’t know what lime is. .

At this time, Bruto thought of another problem, and heard him say: "If I want to load more of this kind of ore, it seems that I have to design the ship to be bigger and wider."

Fang Fang smiled happily after hearing this, and said, "If you want, that's of course the best."

Now that the limestone ore on the island has been found, the next time is to mine the limestone mine.

Blake brought the natives of the island and ordered them to start digging the exposed limestone mines.

With someone watching over them, these natives naturally didn't dare to be negligent. Anyone who dared to be lazy would definitely be whipped.

An hour later, a lot of limestone has been transported to the ship.

This time the cargo ship did not load too much lime ore, because it had already carried a lot of people when it came, and the draft should not be too harsh to ensure the safety of the voyage.

Seeing that it was almost time, and it was getting late, Fang Fang ordered everyone to board the ship and prepare to return to Wan Guo City.

At the same time, I told Blake and the natives to explain again and again, don't forget these things today, tomorrow the boat from Wan Guo City will come in the afternoon, and they must prepare limestone by then.

On a hurried day, I first landed on Copper Island, and then rushed to Pisces Island without stopping.

This was simply impossible to do before, all thanks to the emergence of new cargo ships.

Although it was too rushed, this trip was not in vain. Not only did they bring back a lot of limestone this time, but they also set up a limestone collection point on Pisces Island.

At that time, the natives on the island will go to collect lime, and the people of Wan Guo City only need to transport the lime back.

Because it was full of people and limestone, the speed of the cargo ship slowed down a lot.

Fortunately, there are sails on board, and the propulsion of the wind can make the heavy cargo ship go a little faster.

In the cabin, Ofina sat beside Li Qingman, and said with great interest: "Actually, you don't have to care about the life and death of those natives. Whether they kill each other or cannibalize each other, that's their business." You just need to force them to prepare enough ore every day, and send your people to collect it when the time comes, without bringing them food at all.”

Li Qingman looked at the sea ahead, the bow of the ship split the waves and moved forward slowly, the sound of splashing water came to his ears, like a little song coming home, which made people feel very happy.

With a good mood, Li Qingman patiently explained the reason to Ofina.

"What's your relationship with Genn?"

"Enemies, generations are enemies." Ofina replied without thinking.

"That's right."

Li Qingman smiled lightly, although his expression was soft, but there was already a trace of a queen's temperament in his expression, "What you said is the way to deal with the enemy, from the perspective of a looter, you are right. But we are not raiders, this sea area is the territory of our Wan Guo City, and all the people in the sea area are the citizens of Wan Guo City, how can we treat our own people from the perspective of raiders."

Ofina grinned and said, "I just want to be a conqueror, not a ruler. Is there anything more enjoyable than looting?"

Li Qingman smiled and said, "Yes."

"what?"

"If there is a chicken laying eggs in front of you, do you kill it now to eat meat, or stay in the future and get an egg every day?"

"Hahaha, you're so funny." Ofina said with a smile, "I chose to kill that chicken because I like chicken and hate eggs. So you must choose eggs, right?"

Li Qingman smiled and said, "Is there anything happier than having eggs every day?"

The two were very engaged in chatting, Fang Fang brought his head closer and interjected, "What are you talking about, what chicken and egg?"

"We're talking about which came first, the chicken or the egg." Li Qingman pursed his lips and smiled.

Ofina raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "Oh...this is really a problem, why didn't I think of it before?"
