Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 224: Daybreak (7K)

When the second fleet returned, Su Wang immediately got off the Wangxin.

He ordered the thousand sailors he brought with him to stay at Bingluo Wharf and wait for orders.

Then they began to load residents into the Death Heart.

Nearly 9 residents were rescued today alone, adding considerable pressure to Bingluo Wharf.

The fleet sent by Ji Boda has not arrived yet, and Su Wang also has to make further arrangements for these rescued people.

With the current size of the Heart of Destruction, it can still accommodate nearly 4 people if squeezed together, and can bring many residents back with it when returning to Fool's Wharf every day.

Tomorrow Ji Boda’s fleet will be able to transport about 3 people.

It would not be too difficult to relocate these residents within two days.

The Wangxin was packed to the brim, and all the places that could accommodate people were filled with residents.

Su Wang immediately left an anchor mark at the Bingluo Wharf, and then activated the single anchor shuttle capability and returned to the Fisherman's Wharf.

Just across a water gate, Fool's Wharf is within reach.

After landing at the port, Cao Ge was immediately paged to come over and arrange resident registration and accommodation.

After all the residents had unloaded their fish, he put all the fish accumulated on the dock into the fish layer on the boat.

It was almost nightfall when I finally finished dealing with the matters at the dock.

By the time he arrived at the port, Cao Ge had already settled the residents he brought back.

When he saw Su Wang, he hurried over to greet him.

"Boss, where did you bring so many people back?"

Su Wangxuan recounted everything that happened at Bingluo Wharf.

At the same time, Cao Ge was also asked to make mental and manpower preparations.

In a few days, the port will have to accommodate so many residents every day, and the total number may eventually reach more than 200,000.

But when Cao Ge heard about the incident at Bingluo Wharf and what was going to happen next, he was shocked.

"We need to add over 200,000 new residents? How can we accommodate them?"

"Even if it could be loaded, it would put too much pressure on our dock logistics."

Su Wang said in a deep voice.

"Qinglong Wharf should be able to help with a few tens of thousands of dollars, but their wharf hasn't been expanded much yet, so they can't accommodate too many people."

"Besides, his food reserves are not enough to support too many residents. We have to prepare these in advance."

Thinking of this, Su Wang handed the quantum turbine to Cao Ge and continued to add.

"Take this equipment and use it first. Meanwhile, notify ten more reliable fishermen to come over."

Cao Ge took the quantum turbine and was shocked when he saw the properties of the device.

"Holy crap! It's an extraordinary device!"

Su Wang rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

"Isn't it just an extraordinary device? Is there any need to make such a fuss?"

"If you do this well, this equipment will be given to you as a reward."

Cao Ge was overjoyed when he heard this, and his round face was immediately filled with smiles.

"That's what you said, Boss!"

"Is it a mission for me to find 10 fishermen?"

Su Wang nodded.

"This is the purpose for which I gave you this device."

"I'll make a few more turbines for you later.
I need you to lead a team and teleport to the nearby dock to help me purchase daily necessities."

Hearing this, Cao Ge understood instantly.

"Boss, are you planning to purchase supplies from other docks to alleviate the logistical pressure of the surge in short-term residents?"

Su Wang nodded.

"That's right. Fishermen have fish holds, which makes purchasing and transporting supplies much more convenient."

"You and the assigned fishermen should disperse to various docks to purchase supplies. Since the amount of supplies to be purchased is quite large, please pay attention to your own safety."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ge nodded solemnly.

"I understand. I'll pick out a few clever ones."

After Cao Ge left,
Su Wang immediately went to the factory and produced another 10 quantum turbines.

With this equipment, any fisherman can travel back and forth between the docks in a day.

Coupled with the convenience of the fish hold, it is enough to purchase a large amount of daily necessities at other docks.

Although the strength of Fool's Wharf has surpassed that of most local wharves in a short period of time.

But the establishment time is still short after all, and the production of food and daily necessities cannot be accumulated in a short period of time.

At present, we can only rely on procurement to temporarily make up for this shortcoming.

Fortunately, daily necessities are not expensive, and 1 million fish coins are enough to purchase enough for one million people for one month.

However, the supplies that can be purchased at a local port are limited, so it is necessary to go to dozens of ports to purchase them evenly.

If it weren't for this quantum turbine device, it would undoubtedly be a dream to accommodate hundreds of thousands of residents in a short period of time.

Even if they were collected, a large number of them would starve to death due to lack of food supply.

Afterwards, Su Wang built two thousand new houses on the dock to provide housing for residents.

The originally extremely empty dock suddenly became full of buildings, giving it the appearance of a large dock.

It's just that there are only houses, and people are still concentrated in the areas where construction is underway, which seems to lack popularity.

After doing all this,

Cao Ge also brought 10 selected fishermen.

Su Wang immediately repeated the task arrangement and distributed 1 million fish coins to each person as purchasing funds.

From then on, they would rush around to the nearby docks every day to purchase daily necessities.

Due to the rainy season, the domestic ports are definitely on high alert, and any ships visiting alone will undoubtedly be inspected.

Su Wang gave the conditions,

You can act under the name of Fool's Wharf and purchase supplies at a price slightly higher than the average, as long as you can purchase the supplies back.

If you encounter a port that refuses to sell daily necessities, don't bother with it. Just focus on ensuring your own safety.

After giving some instructions, Su Wang said to Cao Ge who was leading the team.

"You will lead the mission. If they have any questions, they will contact you first. If you can't solve it, then contact me."

Cao Ge patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry, Boss. I can handle this little thing. I won't bother you."

Su Wang nodded.

Su Wang was still relatively confident in Cao Ge's work.

Their individual strength is already quite high, and they also have the authority to mobilize the dock fleet.

He can also handle some issues when he is not at the dock.

Watching 11 people leave the port by boat,

Su Wang immediately returned to the Wangxin and prepared to have a good night's rest.

...

Back on the Lost Heart,

Su Wang first ate the midnight snack provided by Menata to satisfy his appetite.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the promotion to Sub-Sage.
Recently, Su Wang no longer feels hungry, and even mentally he seems to rarely feel tired.

This made Su Wang feel as if he had been separated from the essence of living things, as if some kind of evolution had occurred.

After finishing supper,
Su Wang opened the fishermen's communication area and prepared to check on the situation of other fishermen.

After a quick check, I found that the situation had indeed changed quietly.

In the communication area, apart from some casual chats, there are also many people asking about each other's location.

Some fishermen seem to be consciously trying to form groups.

Some people even want to gather their companions to build a dock together.

After two days of fermentation, the fishermen have witnessed the strength of the 500 extraordinary fishman guards.

Originally, due to lack of strength, many fishermen just wanted to find a dock and live a life of mediocrity.

Now that their strength has increased dramatically, they are more than capable of protecting themselves, and some fishermen have also developed the ambition to build a dock.

After all, the three docks currently established have become regular visitors to the daily fishing task rankings.

From this aspect, most fishermen understand the benefits of building a dock.

At present, it is only because of the inconvenience of the rainy season that these fishermen are not taking action.

After Su Wang thought about it, he decided to send out a message to promote the Alliance of Fools.

The Level 4 Fool's Alliance can also accommodate 47 subsidiary docks, which must be announced in advance.

After editing the information, Su Wang immediately posted it.

Heart of Death: "The Fool's Alliance, led by Fool's Wharf, is now recruiting affiliated wharves to join. Limited to 47 slots, first come, first served."

Heart of Destruction: "Alliance benefits, every month you can receive a large amount of basic resources, millions of gold fish materials, thousands of gold fish treasures, fish souls,
To join, you must complete at least three alliance missions per month and unconditionally obey the command of Fool's Wharf.

Heart of Death: "Anyone affiliated with the Alliance's affiliated docks will receive initial dock residents and a small amount of special supplies."

Once the news was released, it immediately caused turmoil in the communication area.

Cupid: "Su Shen is recruiting affiliated docks in advance. Are the alliance benefits so generous?"

"Boss Su, I'll sign up! I'll be building a dock once the rainy season is over!"

Black Silk Number: "Su Shen is so generous when he spends money. It makes me excited."

Cupid: "If you feel like it, take action. Don't you plan to build a dock?"

Black Silk: "Forget it, I'd better go to the boss's dock and be a vase. Building a dock is too troublesome."

"Boss Wangxin, if the quota for joining the alliance is full, can other docks get assistance?"

Su Wang saw someone asking about the quota and responded immediately.

Wang Xinhao: "All the aid supplies came from my own pocket.
We can’t supply too much, so we can only provide it to the docks within the alliance.”

This answer immediately sparked heated discussions among many fishermen.

Few fishermen have a deep understanding of how docks are built.

All I know is that the three docks that have been successfully built were all helped by the boss Wangxin.

There are currently only 47 places available for help from the big guys, which undoubtedly makes fishermen who intend to build docks feel urgent.

Su Wang saw the situation in the communication area, thought about it, and added something.

Heart of Death: "Everyone has extraordinary fish souls. Building a dock is very simple, but the initial construction and development of the dock is very difficult."

Heart of Destruction: "I personally recommend building a dock with at least five people. Building a dock alone is not recommended. If you don't have the conditions, try to join others' docks."

Su Wang posted this message with both selfish motives and a warning.

The extraordinary fish soul can allow fishermen to easily survive the early red tide at the dock, but developing the dock is not just about the red tide.

Without residents and fleets, it would be difficult for the port to develop and it might even become a burden.

If multiple fishermen jointly build a dock, the chances of development may be much greater.

Limiting the number of aid recipients is also intended to concentrate the strength of fishermen and build a force that can develop rapidly in a short period of time.

Judging from the conversation with the "fish", the fisherman does not have much time left to develop.

Afterwards, Su Wang even compiled a list of information about the preparations needed for the initial construction of the dock free of charge and posted it in the communication area.

One is to discourage some fishermen who are unprepared and just want to try to build a dock on a whim.

Secondly, it is also a reminder to fishermen who intend to build docks to inform them of the preparations they need to make.

After all the information was released and the purpose had been achieved, Su Wang closed the communication area.

"With my reputation and the publicity bonus, recruiting all 47 affiliated docks should be easy."

...

Over the next two days,
Su Wang shuttles back and forth between Bingluo Wharf and Fool's Wharf every day.

While at Bingluo Wharf, the team mainly patrolled the nearby waters and dealt with the small fleet of newly arrived polluters.

To deal with these small groups of polluters,
Su Wang did not use the folding mirror matrix, but chose to personally carry out the purification and sink the strange ship.

Within two days, more than 1 additional purification residents were added.

The fleet brought by Han Ning has also taken away a group of residents.

By the way, Su Wang also introduced Lord Irving and Han Ning to each other, which increased the trade relations between the two docks in the future.

Now that we have committed to a friendship, we naturally need a way to keep in touch at all times.

The Fool's Pier is extremely far away from the Ice Snail Pier and cannot be contacted at all.

Qinglong Wharf just happens to serve as a connecting bridge and ladder, allowing Su Wang to be informed of the situation at Bingluo Wharf in a timely manner.

And when the third day came,

The ability of the folding mirror matrix has recovered on its own, and the amount of purified source crystals and source water has increased slightly again in these three days.

Su Wang immediately decided to launch a general attack on the main force of the Polluter fleet today.

During these three days,

Su Wang would go to check the progress of the main force of the polluters every day. At this time, it was less than two days' sailing distance from Bingluo Wharf.

The main force of the Polluter fleet also seemed to be preparing for an attack. The scattered fleet was partially gathered together and not as many ships were scattered as before.

This situation undoubtedly better matched Su Wang's expectations, and was also the reason why he decided to take action.

After sailing for a while, the Heart of Destruction soon arrived above the rightmost side of the Polluter's main force.

Because the flight altitude was too high, none of the strange ships scattered across the sea noticed the arrival of the Wangxin.

At this time, Su Wang chose to lower the altitude of the Heart of Destruction to about 300 meters above the sea. As the Heart of Destruction's flight altitude decreased, it naturally caused a commotion among the Polluter fleet.

The strange ship, which had been sailing quietly and orderly, stopped for a moment.

However, the Polluter discovered the Heart of Destruction but was unable to take any action.

The strange ships' attack modes are mainly underwater, and even their long-range attack methods are strange torpedoes.

The Heart of Destruction hovered at an altitude of 300 meters above the sea surface, making it impossible for the Polluter fleet to attack this suddenly appearing "enemy".

Looking at the projection in the radar,

Su Wang deployed the hundreds of repulsion cannons on the Wangxin and entered the charging stage.

The next second, the scene of hundreds of repulsion cannons firing at the same time reappeared.

This time, Su Wang chose an extremely dispersed attack mode.

The impact points of each repulsion cannon are hundreds or even kilometers apart.

In an instant, a large number of damage prompt messages appeared, and the number of strange ships sunk in this round of bombardment reached more than 2.

This is because Su Wang deliberately chose a landing point where there was less concentration of strange ships, otherwise the number of ships sinking would have been even greater.

This round of bombardment undoubtedly caused major turmoil in the Polluter fleet.

However, the special attack mode of the strange ship made it impossible for the polluters to counterattack the Heart of Destruction hanging high in the air after being attacked.

This situation immediately put the polluter fleet into an extremely contradictory state.

Su Wang even saw through the sonar image that a strange ship was throwing torpedoes at the waters below the Wangxin, which was a useless act.

"Isn't it hurt yet? Or are you stunned?"

Su Wang was very dissatisfied with the polluter's reaction.

It hasn't even entered the connector's defense state.

Immediately, the repulsion cannon began to charge again.

This time only 20 guns were used, and dispersed shooting was also carried out.

Another round of bombardment sank hundreds of strange ships again.

And this time, the Polluter fleet finally reacted in a way that satisfied Su Wang.

It seems that he finally understood that he could only be beaten.
The Polluter fleet adopted a defensive strategy, began to quickly close the gaps between the fleets, and deployed the connector mode, with the flesh and blood shield acting as a collective defense.

Seeing this situation,

Su Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time a strange ship is sunk, there will be fewer purified residents and purified warships.

If it wasn't necessary, Su Wang really didn't want to waste artillery fire.

Under the radar scan,
Thousands of strange ships on the sea are connecting and shrinking together.

In less than 5 minutes, nearly 1 strange ships on the sea formed three large connected bodies, greatly reducing the occupied sea area.

Su Wang saw this,

Ignoring these three connectors, he chose to drive the Heart of Destruction to fly at high speed towards another sea area.

This is only part of the main force, and the rest will also be forced to connect.

In this way, the folding mirror matrix can cover all the strange ships as much as possible.

However, what surprised Su Wang was that there might be some connection between the polluters.

It seems that the situation in the sea area on the right has been known to the polluters in other sea areas.

When they discovered that the Heartless was flying low over them, they began to form a connected body on their own before the Heartless could fire at them.

When Su Wang discovered this, he was overjoyed.

The speed of the Wangxin was immediately reduced to an extremely low level, and it flew slowly over the heads of the strange ships.

And the strange ships on the sea below were gathered together.

The situation is like the appearance of some powerful predator, causing the prey to shrink in fear.

By the time the Heart of Destruction slowly flew over the sea area of ​​the Polluter's main fleet from head to tail, the super-large connectors of the strange ships had been successfully connected.

Except for the first two rounds of artillery fire, the entire sea area was eerily silent for the rest of the time.

In an instant, the fleet that was originally spread over nearly 6 meters on the sea surface shrank into a connected body of 11 super-large strange ships.

The sea area occupied has also shrunk from more than 6 meters to more than 4 meters.

If there weren't gaps between these strange ships, the range could be further shortened.

However, because the Polluter had previously attempted to attack the Heart of Destruction, they knew they could not reach targets in the sky.

These strange ship connections remain connected,
The Heart of Death was allowed to cruise back and forth in the sky, sailing towards the Ice Snail Pier at an extremely slow speed.

However, after entering the monster ship connected state, it was not attacked.

The polluters seemed to think they could continue sailing safely by maintaining this state.

Su Wang tried to cruise back and forth several times.
Even launching artillery fire at the waters near the connector of the polluting monster ship failed to force the connector to reduce the distance.

After several attempts and confirming that it was impossible to guide the connectors of these strange ships to shrink further, Su Wang gave up.

"It seems we can only reduce it to this size."

Faced with this situation, Su Wang did not dare to use the repulsion cannon to attack the connector body.

Even these strange ship connectors cannot withstand the extremely powerful attack of the repulsion cannon.

If a shot penetrates the flesh shield, causing the polluter to change strategy, release the connector, and escape in a dispersed manner, it will be troublesome.

Confirm that the scope has been reduced to the limit,
Su Wang immediately started to deploy the folding mirror matrix.

The strange ship entered a connected state, greatly slowing down its speed.

The original individual strange ships could have a speed of 20-30 knots, and the large connected body was only about 10 knots.

This situation made it easier for Su Wang to arrange the folding mirror.

In order to put all the folding mirrors in place in a short time,
Su Wang directly activated the quantum turbine's extreme acceleration mode.

The speed of 800 knots has exceeded Mach 1.

At a speed of nearly 412 meters per second, it takes only 4 minutes to complete a full circle in an area of ​​5 meters of sea.

With a deployment distance of one folding mirror per kilometer, all 11 super-large strange ship connections were surrounded.

This time, a huge folding mirror matrix was built.

A total of 72 folding mirrors were deployed, and all the stored purification source crystals were used up. Even the purification source water was only left with a few dozen liters in stock.

Once the construction was completed, Su Wang chose to start it without hesitation.

next second...

Its daybreak!
It’s a bit too bright!
The bright beams of light dispersed the dark clouds that obscured the sky.

A beam of light more than 4 meters long and nearly meters wide fell from the sky.

The refraction of the folding mirror makes this vast sea look like a sun rising from the water.

The strong light even forced Su Wang to close his eyes.

The light lasted for 9 minutes, and Su Wang closed his eyes for 9 minutes.

During this time, I tried to open my eyes several times to check the situation, but each time I was almost blinded by the dazzling light.

"Oh shit! There won't be any problems, will there?"

This terrifying light made Su Wang feel a little insecure.

The matrix constructed with four folding mirrors can purify a polluter in just over ten seconds.

This has been going on for 9 minutes, don't let it be purified into ashes.

It was not until 9 minutes later that the folding mirror dissipated and the sun above the sea gradually went out.

Su Wang opened his eyes only after he realized that the brightness coming through his eyelids was not as severe.

The sea is sparkling.

When Su Wang saw the ordinary warships gathered together in groups and without any movement, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the ship is still there...

The extremely terrifying light just now, according to the theory that light generates heat, would probably have burned everything to ashes.

However, the light generated by this folding mirror matrix does not seem to produce any photothermal effect.

Otherwise, these warships would not have left no trace.

Through the panoramic window of the command room, Su Wang looked at the blue sky.

A beam of light projected over a wide range,
This caused the black clouds in the entire sky to disappear, making the sky above this sea area appear particularly abrupt, and the black rain brought by the black clouds also disappeared briefly.

However, as the beam of light dissipated, one could already see black clouds gradually spreading to fill the gap, as if they wanted to swallow up this bright land again.

At this time, Tia, who was in the command room, also opened her eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he turned around and cursed at Su Wangjiao.

"Captain! Please give me a heads up next time you do something like this!"

Needless to say, she also suffered from the dazzling light just now.

Su Wang smiled awkwardly.

"Next time, for sure...next time, for sure!"

...

This super-large purification process seems to be going very smoothly.

Now it's time to collect the spoils of the operation.

This achievement was achieved at the cost of more than 20 source crystals and hundreds of liters of high-quality purified source water, which translates to hundreds of millions in fish coins.

Su Wang asked Tia to steer the Heart of Destruction towards the nearest warship.

He opened the fishing task bar to check the status of the Road to Redemption task.

This time, tens of thousands of strange ships were purified at once, and the number of humans purified was definitely not small.

As expected, the content of the missions in the Road to Redemption has changed significantly.

[Special Mission - Road to Redemption]

Current number of people purified: 176610.

Milestone Reward: Saint's Glory 17%.

With a completion rate exceeding 10%, you have achieved the first stage reward of the Saint's Glory and obtained the [Saint's Relic] ability. Every 1 days, you can copy any of your own extraordinary powers and produce an ocean relic.

...

"Hiss...Ocean Relics?"

Su Wang suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Unexpectedly, this Road to Redemption mission is staged, and a special ability will be obtained if the completion rate exceeds 10%.

This ability can actually copy an ocean relic every 3 days.

"This mission is truly extraordinary. There are such great rewards in just one stage."

Su Wang happily put away the fisherman's reel.

It was worth it for him to spend so many source crystals and source water. The reward for this task alone was enough to make up for the cost.

At this time, Tia had already driven the Death Heart to the top of the nearest warship.

Since the dark clouds in the sky above had not yet spread over, Su Wang could directly see the scene on the warship through the panoramic window.

This sight made Su Wang stunned.

Tia also had the same reaction as him.

"Captain...is this one of your people?"

Hearing Tia's question, Su Wang was also very surprised.

Lying on the deck of the warship were three humans, two men and one woman, all very pure humans.

The reason why Tia asked the question just now was because of the appearance of these three humans.

Thin clothes exposed smooth limbs, and there was no sign of abnormality on either the face or the limbs not covered by clothes.

Tia had only seen this situation happen to the captain and a few people at the dock.

Su Wang once said that these people were his people, so Tia asked specifically.

Without bothering to answer Tia's question,

Su Wang immediately activated his ability to identify talent.

The next second, the qualification information of the three unconscious people came into view.

The female crew member has the qualification of Black Iron Cooking, while the other two men do not have the qualification of crew members.

However, in terms of worker qualifications, they all showed golden qualifications.

"this…"

Su Wang couldn't figure out what had gone wrong for a moment.

He quickly looked at the three humans also lying on the deck of another warship.

As usual, there are no unusual signs, and the workers' qualifications are still at the gold level.

"Is it because of the purification just now?"

Su Wang could only think of this reason.

If there were only three humans like these, then it might be a coincidence.

But this happened to the polluters that were purified on both ships.

The possibility of coincidence is almost zero!
