Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 149: Gathering Strength
After getting the resources from Red Sting Wharf,

Su Wang rushed back to Fool's Wharf overnight without stopping.

At daybreak, we returned to the dock.

Su Wang didn't bother to rest and went straight to the shipyard to build the ship.

Combined with the daily fish catch during this period, the current resources are sufficient to build about 920 mutual aid warships.

Taking into account the equipment and maintenance costs, Su Wang decided to produce 810 ships first.

Adding the original 290 ships and 10 pilot ships, there are 10 mutually reinforcing fleets of ships.

In an instant, more than 4 million basic supplies and a large amount of silver and fish were consumed.

Now that we have the ship, the captain and some equipment are becoming a problem.

Collect the rewards for killing the polluters during yesterday's exploration, plus the rewards for the increase in the number of residents during this period.

Su Wang still has 76 bottles of concentrated shipmaster potion in his hand, and there are 74 idle shipmasters.

If you are lucky, you can probably provide about 110 to 120 warship drivers.

This means that at least 700 sailors must be gathered in a short period of time.

"Tsk...this is such a big trouble."

Su Wang also felt very troubled.

Not only that, the ship's cannons, fire control radars and turbines all had to be made of bronze.

These are also supplies that were not obtained from Hongzhe Wharf, so the scarcity is extremely huge.

As for increasing the number of ships, we can only start with emergency fishing tasks.

If you want to quickly obtain equipment consumables, you have to find a way.

Su Wang only thought about it for a moment and then came up with an idea.

Now that we have demonstrated our ability to collect supplies at one dock, it doesn't matter if we let a few more docks know about it.

There are also other fishermen who must have a lot of extra fish left over by now.

Su Wang decided to start from these two aspects.

The bronze fish materials currently in stock at the dock,
There were surplus supplies left over from the trade at the Silver Pomfret Wharf two days ago, as well as 2 cannons left over from the previous trade with the three wharves.

Su Wang first came to the equipment manufacturing plant and arranged the manufacturing process of the fire control radar and speed-increasing turbines required for 810 cooperative warships.

The remaining bronze materials were only enough to make 1850 large submachine guns.

The number of guns needed to equip 810 warships is quite a bit short of the 4860 guns required.

For the time being, the production plan for 1850 cannons will also be arranged.

After such an operation,
The ransom materials delivered at Hongzhe Wharf have almost been used up.

Su Wang couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

This huge fortune was spent within just a few hours of being acquired. It was really a waste of time.

While waiting for the equipment to be manufactured,
Su Wang summoned the Fisherman's Scroll and prepared to implement the fish collection plan.

First, open the fishing task bar and settle the last released fish bounty task.

After many fishermen delivered their shares, the share of 10 million fish coins had long been used up.

After Su Wang completed the task, he immediately received a notification that a large amount of fish had been put into the cabin.

After checking, it was found that ordinary and black iron fish materials accounted for the majority, and there were bronze fish materials, but relatively speaking, there were much fewer of them.

Su Wang understood this.

After all, when it was first released, most fishermen probably didn't have enough bronze fish materials, so they used low-level fish materials to complete the tasks.

These bronze fish materials are probably only enough to make dozens of cannons, which is far from enough.

At this time, Su Wang noticed that the fisherman recruitment reward originally announced had expired.

Su Wang immediately drafted it again according to the original task conditions.

Then I checked the trading area to find out the current selling price of bronze fish materials.

View this below,

Su Wang learned that in the current transactions between fishermen, bronze fish scales are priced at around 3 fish coins each, fish skin is priced at around 5 fish coins, and the rare fish tendons and fish glue are priced at around 10 fish coins each.

"In other words, if you want to purchase and assemble all the materials needed to produce a giant cannon, you'll need about 18 fish coins."

After Su Wang made some estimates, he suddenly felt pain in his flesh.

Fish coins are the most abundant of all resources in the fish tank, but accumulated over this period of time, they are less than 2 million.

At this price, just to buy 1 large cannons, 1.8 million would be needed to purchase the fish materials.

Thinking of this, Su Wang decided to swallow his pride and go to the exchange area to bargain for a price.

At present, most fishermen must have reached the saturation point of bronze fish. The large amount of fish that no one is rushing to buy in the trading area is the best proof of this.

If the demand is small, the difference between one and two fish coins is not that big.

But this time, he wanted fish materials worth tens of millions, so every reduction in the price of a fish coin could save him a lot of fish coins.

Thinking of this, Su Wang also opened the fisherman communication area.

It is the time when fishing tasks are settled, so a large number of fishermen are not in hibernation.

There is a lot of information in the fishermen's exchange area.

Su Wang has been busy with various things recently and rarely pays attention to the developments in the fishermen's exchange area.

"I haven't spoken in such a long time. I wonder if my reputation among the fishermen has declined."

Su Wang chuckled to himself, edited a message and sent it to the communication area.

Heart of Death: "Fool's Wharf now has a fleet of 2 warships, with sufficient defense capabilities, and has already produced a large number of rare fish materials.
The fisherman recruitment bounty has been re-launched, and everyone is welcome to come."

What surprised Su Wang a little was that as the information with the conspicuous golden title appeared, it immediately triggered a surge in information in the trading area.

Dragon Slayer: "Holy crap! What did I see? The missing person, Wangxin Boss, has reappeared!"

Succubus: "Ah! I finally saw Brother Wangxin speak. This is the first time I've seen Brother Wangxin speak live!"

Cupid: "Boss Wangxin, what have you been busy with recently?

If it weren't for that shameless Qin Shi Huang spreading the news, I would have thought something had happened to you."

Wuchanghao: "Oh my goodness! Has Boss Wangxin's dock grown to a fleet of over 2 ships so quickly?
My indigenous dock seems to only have about 3,000 ships."

"I said I'd be able to go to the boss's dock in a few days, only to find out the mission disappeared. Luckily, the boss re-posted it."

...

Seeing that his message could still attract everyone's attention, Su Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the previous reputation has not dissipated much.

Su Wang thought for a few seconds and continued to edit the message to respond.

Heart of Destruction: "I've been busy developing the dock lately. There's been so much going on that I haven't paid much attention to the communication area."

Wang Xinhao: "I encountered a little problem this time, and I would like to ask for your help."

As soon as this information came out, the communication area exploded again.

Dragon Slayer: "No way! Sir, Boss Wangxin actually needs our help?"

Cupid: "What kind of problem has Boss Wangxin encountered? Is it that even your strength can't solve it? Do you need my help?"

"I've been able to hold on until now and live a comfortable life thanks to the several achievement rewards from Boss Wangxin.

If you need any help, please tell me directly. I will definitely support you if I can! "

Dragon Bird: "Me too. Boss Wangxin has spoken personally, so I have no choice but to give him this favor!"

"Master Wangxin, if you need any help from us, just tell us. You've done many favors for many people, so I'm sure those who are capable will be willing to help!"

...

Seeing the messages from many fishermen, Su Wang couldn't help but feel deeply gratified.

Although it didn't show unconditional support, the kind feedback it showed was enough.

Su Wang then edited the information and explained.

Heart of Death: "There are powerful enemies at the dock that need to be dealt with. Time is of the essence and a large amount of bronze fish is urgently needed. I would like you to sell me some fish at a low price."

Heart of Death: "The price can be just a little lower than that in the trading zone."

As the call for help was released, fishermen in the trading area immediately responded.

Dragon Bird: "It turns out that this is the only small problem that bothers the boss.

No problem, I just happened to have a lot of bronze fish materials that I can't use. I'll go to the trading area and sell some of them.
Each fish material costs 1 fish coin per piece. I hope others won’t compete with Wangxin Boss for it.”

Cupid: "As for fish, I have quite a few on hand. If Boss Wangxin needs them, I'll give them to you."

"So the boss just needs bronze fish materials. This is too easy. Just catch a few more fish at night."

"Boss Wangxin, how can I get you the bronze fish? Is it for sale in the trading area?"

Seeing this information, Su Wang smiled from the bottom of his heart and quickly added more information.

Wang Xin Hao: "No need to put it up for sale in the trading area. I will post a 1.5 million fish coins exchange task in the fishing task later.

Anyone who has extra bronze fish materials can exchange them."

The appearance of this piece of information made many fishermen in the trading area gasp in amazement.

Dragon Slayer: "Holy crap! That's way off the mark! How many zeros are in 1.5 million!"

Cupid: "As expected, after being silent for so long, Boss Wangxin is still far superior to ordinary people. This 1.5 million really shocked me."

Succubus: "Brother Wangxin is looking for support!"

"I thought I was rich just by saving over a hundred thousand fish coins, but compared to Boss Wangxin... I really can't stand it..."

"What's going on, Boss? Spending 1.5 million fish coins on fish ingredients! That's way too much!"

Hei Si Hao: "Anyway, I have too much fish and nowhere to use it. It's hard to sell it in the trading area.

If Boss Wangxin needs it, you can exchange it for some fish coins. I think Boss Wangxin is giving out more benefits."

"Boss Wangxin, hurry up and get on with the mission! I can exchange all this fish for you!"

Seeing this, Su Wang immediately opened the fishing task bar and spent 10 reputation to edit a message.

The content is that fish coins can be exchanged for 4 kinds of bronze fish materials.

In terms of price,
After a little thought, Su Wang decided to adopt a flexible system.

例如青铜鱼鳞每份可置换1至2鱼币，鱼皮2至4鱼币，鱼筋鱼胶则5至8鱼币，至于选取上限还是下限则由置换者自行决定。

Su Wang also set the maximum replacement quantity for each type according to the requirements of cannon production.

This price is definitely a little lower than that in the trading area, but the lower limit is not too low.

Although some fishermen were willing to help and sell at very low prices, Su Wang also tried his best not to owe them too much.

When the task is just set and released,

Su Wang saw that the various fish materials began to increase rapidly, while the fish coins delivered for the tasks also began to decrease dramatically.

"It looks like we can gather a thousand cannons."

Although a large portion of the fish coins in the fish tank had been paid out, fish coins were the easiest resource to earn, so Su Wang could still accept it.

If we can truly resolve this polluter crisis, the benefits will be several times or even dozens of times greater than this.
