Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

He Feng also taught him some breathing techniques to prevent him from nearly going astray like he had before.

After giving his instructions, He Feng looked at the White Raven City frigate that had been salvaged and was currently being towed behind the Azure.

Dozens of workers are busy cutting and repairing it.

Compared to the Azure, this crudely simplified ship is clearly somewhat lacking.

The 10-meter-long hull was already quite frail, and the highly reinforced bow made it look like a small horse pulling a large cart, which was incongruous.

It would be excellent to acquire this thing for our own use. If we encounter a powerful enemy, we can also use it as a satellite for harassment and deception.

It also contained several standard-issue automatic rifles, but they had been soaked in water and were obviously unusable.

It still has value for disassembly and has now been sent to Ji Chun's studio. At the very least, it can be used to make a knock-off version to try it out.

It will also be a good opportunity to test the strength of his "mechanical expertise" talent.

Most of the minerals previously extracted from the Mineral Crab have been used up; one-third was used to repair the hull of the Azure, and another third was used to manufacture machine guns and bullets.

The last third was stored away for unforeseen circumstances.

If the Azure wants to advance to Tier 2, a large amount of iron ore is absolutely essential.

Moreover, if the dog is lucky enough to encounter a city module, it can be completed in one step, avoiding the tragic situation of having no resources and being able to only watch helplessly.

But it's still not enough.

If the opportunity arises, we must find an iron ore production site to provide mineral resources.

He Feng wrapped his cotton coat tighter, but was still freezing from the cold wind on the deck.

The rye and barley cultivated on the deck pipe layer have also been harvested, with a considerable yield of over 1500 jin (750 kg).

However, the long delivery period is somewhat inadequate in this perpetually cold weather.

The fishing nets were also modified by refugees like Ji Chun, which significantly improved the harvest rate.

Previously, due to the material's texture, the nets were often torn by ice blocks kicked up by the ship, resulting in a meager harvest.

The fishing nets were changed to nylon, which ensured their durability, so we won't come back empty-handed every time we catch fish.

Whether these refugees like it or not, they will have to work for him for free for the time being.

The technology will remain; the people are irrelevant.

Fuel, iron ore, blueprints, food—all these things require long-term consideration, which is giving him a bit of a headache.

In any case, this can be considered as getting back on track.

After thinking it over, He Feng decided to discuss the matter with Lin Qingqing.

Regardless of what she does, she is now his partner, whether she likes it or not.

Going down to the second level of the gangway, you'll find accommodations for the crew members and refugees.

Apart from the outermost observation deck, the entire level is divided by a straight road, with simple dormitories on both sides.

However, it is daytime now, and given the Azure's characteristic of not keeping idle people around, no one can be seen at all.

They were all on the ship, hammering away with sledgehammers, doing the miserable work of tightening screws.

He Feng faced the second dormitory room in the corridor and knocked lightly three times.

"Who is it?" a woman's voice replied in a deep voice, carrying an unspoken resentment from just waking up.

"Me!" He Feng shouted magnanimously.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Lin Qingqing yawned, still sleepy-eyed.

Her messy hair was held in her mouth, and she was wearing aramid pajamas. The loose clothing revealed her figure indistinctly under the sunlight.

It seems that the previous escape had exhausted this naive girl.

He Feng assigned her a four-person room, totaling 5 square meters, but he made her live alone in a separate room to protect her privacy.

The accommodations on the Azure weren't great, but they were the best they could offer.

"Is something the matter?" Lin Qingqing asked.

"Let me discuss our next route with you." He Feng took out a printed map and handed it to Lin Qingqing.

"What does this have to do with me?" Lin Qingqing said with a wry smile.

"Although it's not up to you, it's still a formality," He Feng said casually.

Unfold the map, and the various resource points are marked very accurately. There are three stations in total, but they are not exactly smooth roads.

Lin Qingqing's gaze kept drifting across the map, and she couldn't help but feel that this trip was full of twists and turns.

But they were also surprised by He Feng's profound knowledge of various supply depots.

In this frigid sea, there is never any action that is guaranteed to succeed.

As the most powerful fortress in the entire Sandy Sea, White Raven City suffered from information asymmetry for many years after its establishment.

Therefore, this information is particularly important for the development of a fortress.

However, it was precisely because White Raven City obtained the blueprints for the monster monitoring radar that it was able to detect monster resources within a radius of nearly 50 kilometers, which is why it has reached its current level.

The Azure doesn't seem to possess such advanced technology; it's too poor—too poor to build food factories and too poor to support a large population.

They also want to drill oil wells and even challenge a Tier 1 boss on their own.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Lin Qingqing became increasingly speechless as she looked at it.

"Are you crazy? This isn't something your Azure can do alone." Lin Qingqing folded up the map in her hand and said to He Feng in a panic.

"We definitely can't do it alone, but..." He Feng revealed a sly smile.

"Aren't you all still here?"

"You guys provide the technology, help us upgrade to be able to deal with these monsters, and if we win, wouldn't that be even better?" He Feng squinted at the little girl throwing a tantrum.

Lin Qingqing was now completely panicked.

As a highly sought-after bargaining chip, one would normally think about how to safely redeem it.

But this guy in front of me wanted to risk his life without saying a word, how could I dare to imagine that!

Lin Qingqing's mind raced, seemingly unable to find any way to survive.

"As for a way out, there is. Tell your men to do so and make them completely at my disposal."

"And what new technologies does the White Raven have? I'm really drooling over them."

At this point, there's nothing more to say.

She had been hiding a lot of things to conceal her weaknesses, in order to ensure her own and the refugees' value, and at least to keep He Feng and the others hanging.

But now the other side has flipped the table, can you believe it?

Lin Qingqing took a deep breath and pondered, "I will discuss with my people how to do everything we can to improve the strength of your Azure, but you are not allowed to harm any of us."

"This is my last request, and I hope... you won't let me down."

Lin Qingqing's cheeks were puffed out, making her look rather chubby, which made He Feng feel a bit of cuteness.

"I certainly won't do anything outrageous, but if they still act like..." He Feng nodded, probing.

"Do as you please," Lin Qingqing said firmly.
