Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

"Lord He Feng, you're finally back!"

Zhou Haiping welcomed everyone back with a beaming smile, rubbing his hands together as he took the lead in greeting them.

"Stuck." He Feng pushed Zhou Haiping's face far away, his face full of disdain.

"When working, you should discuss your job title."

"Yes, yes, Lord." Zhou Haiping narrowed his eyes to slits, still trying to make his presence known to He Feng, and gestured to several people to take off He Feng's trench coat.

Due to the development of the oil industry in Heilonggang Bay, the heat emitted by a large number of industrial machines has made the place extremely hot. He Feng then handed his trench coat to the group of people.

He immediately held Zhou Haiping in higher regard for his thoughtfulness. He was right; this kind of person was born to make a name for himself.

He walked gracefully down the gangway and headed toward the bustling construction site.

As evening approached, the area around the oil well was brightly lit, and the original oil pipelines had been integrated, which was more conducive to industrial production.

Many corrugated iron houses, resembling pigeon coops, are perched atop the oil well towers, further expanding the living area here.

The four floors of the Azure had been renovated, and although there was a slight increase in living space compared to before, there was still nothing remarkable about it.

It is commendable that they thought of sharing the burden.

He Feng paused for a moment, then continued.

"How are things going with what I asked you to do before?"

Zhou Haiping's face lit up with joy, seemingly brimming with confidence.

"After the lord left, we reactivated many oil wells and pipelines, which increased our daily oil production by at least 30%."

"What's even more exciting is that our engineers discovered a pool of black substance under the oil lamp. It was jet black and translucent, and it even had an almond scent."

Upon hearing this, He Feng's mind went blank.

Black, settling under an oil lamp, and accompanied by the scent of almonds.

This is just benzene.

Benzene is as important to organic chemistry as Jerusalem is to the Jewish people.

It is the cornerstone of all reactions and a crucial element in restarting the chemical technology of the Blue Ocean.

He Feng knew all too well that relying solely on technological blueprints was far too weak. Technological development should be a gradual and patient process; forcing growth would be tantamount to walking into a dead end.

The need for someone who has a strong interest in chemistry and is willing to put it into practice is becoming increasingly urgent.

"Well done, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." He Feng patted Zhou Haiping on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval.

Following behind He Feng, Zhou Haiping grinned broadly, swaying his body with smug satisfaction.

"Furthermore, I've arranged an office for you inside. If you would do me the honor of taking a look, that would be a great reward for us."

He Feng thought about it for a moment, but did not agree immediately.

He doesn't need to move his workplace here.

Heilong Bay is currently just a temporary stop. Once all the oil and crude oil resources have been extracted, it won't be long before he leads the entire Azure crew to venture out to the ends of the earth again.

Drifting fortresses can float on the sea to avoid monster attacks, but such a life of confinement in a settlement is always short-lived.

If a large-scale attack were to occur later, the only outcome would be an endless stream of monsters emerging from the seabed, leaving no trace of their remains.

Fortunately, the monster horde he encountered here before wasn't that intense, otherwise he would have already unleashed an endless barrage of cannon fire.

Once they have accumulated enough resources for the upgrade, they will leave the barren Sandy Sea and head to the more resource-rich Black Abyss Sea.

Moreover, the sea here is inhabited by strange creatures like the Sea Monk, and no one can predict whether another disaster will befall them.

It's good that the intelligence system didn't raise an alarm, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the twisted entity has given up on pursuing them.

Although the monsters in the Black Abyss Sea are powerful, none are as ridiculously powerful as the black tentacles we encountered before.

His expression twisted slightly, and his thoughts became more somber.

He Feng shook his head, trying not to let his thoughts wander to the distant future. Right now, he should focus more on the development of the Azure.

The most pressing issue is dealing with the threat from White Raven City.

Based on previous speculation.

This further confirms that intelligence systems may be a little-known tool on the Ice Sea.

White Raven City, however, had a keen understanding of this and used the chaotic information to encrypt it.

A whole host of troubles, including the steam core and the coup, seemed to be a cover-up.

This at least confirms that information about White Raven City can no longer be trusted and that more appropriate methods are needed to investigate.

"Using other events to cover up one's own thoughts, that's quite clever." He Feng remained calm, his gaze deep.

As expected, none of them on the icy sea were easy to deal with.

Tomorrow is likely the day when monster hunting begins in White Raven City. Although the journey is treacherous, the Azure needs to obtain enough technology and resources from there.

By piling up all the troubles in his mind, a clear line emerges, revealing a traceable path to survival on the turbulent, icy sea.

He Feng did not accept Zhou Haiping's favor, which, apart from costing him a mischievous idea, at least prevented Zhou Haiping from speculating about He Feng's thoughts.

He had instructed everyone on the ship to keep a close watch on Sanqi's affairs beforehand.

They simply announced that they had taken in a homeless girl from an ice cap, nothing more.

This is the secret of White Raven City.

After visiting the workers stationed at Heilonghai Bay, He Feng decided not to linger. He instructed Zhou Haiping to arrange work for the people on the White Dove and then became a hands-off manager.

The people on the White Dove and some of the refugees on the Azure were related by marriage, which created a harmonious relationship between the two fortresses, where each was intertwined with the other.

Moreover, the current lord of the White Dove is Lin Qingqing, who can maintain a certain level of leadership even when he is not here, preventing the booming oil industry in Black Dragon Bay from coming to a standstill.

Afterwards, He Feng also inspected the electrical equipment he had obtained from White Dove City. He put the usable ones into the warehouse to gather dust, and disassembled the unusable ones, thus obtaining a lot of circuit components.

There are about 10 small ones and about 30 large ones.

The fortress comes with its own machine tools that never consider the type of components; you can just stuff them in and assemble a new one, which is rather strange.

With the electronic components ready, He Feng poured them all into the material inlet of the Azure Machine Tool, producing about ten pieces in a row.

The walkie-talkie doesn't have a battery slot, but it does have an extendable solar panel on the back, so you don't have to worry about what will happen if it runs out of power.

He Feng didn't have many circuit components on hand, so he made so many to deal with the monster hordes.

Distributing it to trusted people allows them to bypass White Raven City's communication network, making it a sure-fire way to profit even if they lose money.
