Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 589: "To the Dense Woods"

With the advent of Mizuhanome, the construction of the marine resource gathering base Seed 02-Wadazumi remodeling (Mizuhanome) has begun in earnest.

The supplies the Knights had prepared were only meant to complete the first stage smoothly, so they pushed the bottom without a moment's delay.

In the future, it will be transported by ship from [Wadatumi] or it will use the items obtained from [Oshima of the Flower Monkey].

When will the central control area be completed?

The other players waiting in the Tent Village swim to the small plate of [Mizuhanome].

I saw them accepting orders for construction tasks and putting in the indicated items, and I confirmed their plans for the future.

“The first step is to stabilize the control terminal, and this is done. The second stage is land development up to the central control area. A central control tower will be built in the third stage, and the central control area will be completed in the fourth stage. In the fifth stage, an underwater tunnel connecting Wadatumi and Mizuhanome will be developed. After that, the commercial parcel in the sixth stage, the industrial parcel in the seventh stage, the residential parcel in the eighth stage, the port parcel in the ninth stage, and the respective land development. They are supernatants in stages X to XIII. In the 14th stage, the city defense equipment was created and completed."

"Oh, oh... Looks like the road is long."

Letty explains it evenly and fluently, but I can't understand it just once.

The point is that there are 14 phases in total, and the minimum function required as a city - the completion of the central control area is the fourth phase.

In the meantime, if you reach that point, you'll end up in a tent village on the beach.

However, I feel that there are more stages of construction in [Mizuhanome] compared to other cities.

Amy, who was listening next door, recalls her past urban projects and tilts her head.

Indeed, when we did the construction work on Wade and Wadatsumi, we had to do about half of it.

Pampakaparn!

"Whoa!? I'm surprised..."

Suddenly, a loud voice explodes in my ear.

I jumped and looked back, and the wormhole stood flickering.

Why is there a lot of construction in Mizuhanome? Let Haru teach you!

Looks like she was listening to our conversation, too.

If the administrator told me himself, I would have no choice but to ask.

That said, the reason is simple and straightforward. "Mizuhanome" is an offshore plant.

"I see. There's no ground, so we need to build it."

Mizuhanome nodded upwards as Chiffon pointed out.

She's overwhelmed by every pair of hands and makes a pleasant move to watch.

"Maritime floating plate itself, 4.5 meters thick. Underneath, the wave buffer attitude control unit is stuck, and the sensor unit for monitoring the seabed is also attached, so it's quite large. I need a lot of steel, precision equipment, and standard machine cells."

The offshore plate we're still standing on is a large hexagonal plate.

However, even the part that is sunk below the surface of the water seems to be quite large. If you look at only one plate, it cannot be said to be a short hexagonal column.

Under this plate, there is a control device that keeps horizontal at the level of the undulating sea surface, and it seems that there is a space inside the plate that hits the maintenance tunnel in other cities.

These floating plates are joined together to create the ground on which the maritime city is based.

Well then, we'll have to do our best to proceed with our mission.

Well, that doesn't mean we can make metal or mechanical parts.

With Lacto, the Urban Construction Planner's mission is basically a production job.

Instrumental items such as digging ore, refining iron, and assembling complex machines are outside the expertise of the Shirakukan.

[New Reclamation Outpost Investigation] or [Non-combat Investigator Reclamation Guard Assignment] or [New Species Native Ecology Investigation]. I have a lot of work to do as a combat researcher!

Well, let's do some outpost research, then.

At the recommendation of Mizuhanome, we move in front of the control terminal.

In the meantime, the number of control terminals with six control panels had increased to three, allowing 18 players to receive orders and deliver items at one time.

The display shows a list of current assignments from the Mizuhanome.

We choose the [New Reclaim Outpost Survey] task from among them and accept the order.

Good luck with that!

We jump into the sea towards the island as we are dropped off by Mizuhanome, who is waving heavily.

I'm sure we'll be connected to land eventually, but until then, we'll have to swim back and forth a little bit.

That's why it's my first job on Oshima.

Return to the sandy beach house, and we'll see what we've been tasked with.

The [Shiraku-an] members and Kamil, T-1, Shiratsuki, and the servants pretended to be here.

The Knights of Ai are busily running around, and Wadatumi is under the supervision of Mizuhanome.

What are you doing with the [New Reclaim Outpost Survey]?

Kamil lifted the camera from her neck and tilted her neck.

On that side, Chiffon didn't seem to understand much, so she turned to me.

"This is one of the missions that will be unveiled immediately after the seed drops." It was also "Wade" and "Amazumara". "

Letty says that and visualizes her mission management window.

“The point is to investigate the surrounding areas of the city. This time, we'll investigate the protozoa of the [Oshima of the Flower Monkey], analyze the vegetation and ore distribution, and so on."

I mean, should we go hunting as usual?

"That's what I'm talking about."

Chiffon succinctly summed it up, and Letty nodded her ear.

After all, whether they take the mission or not, what they do remains the same.

"If you crusade against a native creature, you can expect to receive money." In addition, photographing native organisms and delivering materials will also increase the reward. ”

As far as I'm concerned, you're a bigger source of income.

Kamil will also be asked to take a picture of the falcon.

Okay, I'll show you a lively painting.

Hmm, well, because it's an ecological photograph, it's good to know the shape and habit of the protozoa.

Kamil is growing well as a photographer, as long as he is happy when he hands over the camera.

All in all, the mission was to clear the perimeter of the city of threats, secure it, and gather intel.

If you can contribute to it, you will be rewarded for most things.

The log itself is also important information about which weapons were used and how they were defeated, and I'm glad to see that you'll be paid for that as well.

"If you defeat them all, you'll make so much money, so why don't you go around the island for a while?"

Was this island that small?

“With Ledge's tent, you can spend the night.”

Letty's unanimous call set our course of action.

While I'm out, this Western-style building will just be a building, but you'll have to live with it.

Organize and equip your luggage in the Western-style storeroom.

Since a certain amount of long journeys are expected, we will try to reduce the luggage and expect local procurement of food.

I left my diving gear in the simple vault.

Let's just hang on to Ai and then go.

Letty inspects the pretend to be a servant.

Each of the tokas seemed to be struggling, so I left the museum with Kamil, T-1, and White Moon.

Is Kamil ready?

Of course. I've got the keys, too.

Kamil is wearing a battle maid's clothes and carrying a hammer.

T-1 looked at it with a slight envy.

The T-1 is out in the field, so maybe we should get some gear.

{Hmm? That's right. The concubine can do either, but if the Lord says anything, he can prepare it for me. "

The T-1 was originally a high authority of the Commander, but now it's just a maiden.

You don't have to worry about losing your memory when you lose a plane like Kamil, but you don't have to be a researcher to get it back right away.

"For now, stay with me or Amy for as long as you can." I'll ask Neva for something later. "

Hmm! You'll have to protect me!

In the first place, isn't it nice that T-1 was answered by [Wadazumi]?

Kamil puts a sharp penetration into T-1, which lengthens her chest.

Well, that's the safest thing to do, but I'd like to show her a lot of scenery.

While talking like that, she finds Eye throwing instructions at her men in front of the Knights' tent.

When I waved, she noticed me.

"Mr. Ledge, what can I do for you?"

"No, I'm thinking of going out to the island with [Shiratsu-an] now." Just report it. "

"I see. I really want to follow along, but I can't really say that..."

Behind Ai stood the Knights in matching silver armor.

They're probably exploring the island, too, and Ai has a role to play in commanding them.

"Well, I'll let you do it freely over here." While I'm gone, the western building is just a building, so be careful. If you need anything, just call me. "

I see. There is no central control area or update center yet, so please be careful.

Thanks to Ai for her kind support, we will return to the Western Hall.

In front of the entrance, Letty and the others waited in a ready state.

Ledge-san! Where have you been?

“Just let me know you're leaving for Ai. Well then, let's go."

When everyone was together, the servant pretended to speak up.

At that signal, we stepped into the deep dense forest of Oshima.
