Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 498 - 362: Crossing the Desert Zone, Inspiration for Territory Development

For example, those large transport airships that require a specialized airship port to take off and land.

Because there are many kinds of airships, the goblins have almost turned it into an art form.

Moreover, the goblins have an absolute technical advantage. The human kingdoms and other research forces have tried to imitate or decrypt them, but they have been unable to replicate airships that can match goblin technology.

The core reason lies in the magic energy core and turbofan structure of these goblin airships.

When it comes to the forging materials involved, there are actually many intricacies.

The turbofan engines are inscribed with magic runes that can draw on wind spirit power, gaining power assistance.

There are actually many such technical details.

In addition to large airships, there are "airborne marauders," highly maneuverable airships equipped with eight, twelve, or sixteen turbofan engines across the hull.

There are also combat-type airships equipped with various magical energy weapons and bombing airships specifically used for throwing goblin aircraft bombs.

One could say that in the area of airships, goblins have always been at the forefront.

However, the human race in terms of magic energy science, rune science, and engineering have also reached respectable achievements.

The most famous aerial warfare product among them is the magical energy flying machine.

As a single-person armed aircraft, there is a set of turbofan engines on each side of its body for auxiliary power.

A large rotor is on top, and the entire body uses a lightweight refined forging alloy as the framework.

It has extremely high maneuverability and flexibility, usually tasked with reconnaissance and mobile assault missions.

It features a 900-meter range of true sight detection and can be equipped with an air-to-air shotgun cannon to cause small-area damage to aerial enemies.

Apart from airborne cannons, it can also carry a certain amount of aircraft bombs to attack ground targets.

This type of magical energy flying machine is extremely popular within the Swadia Kingdom in the central plains of the human race kingdom, almost as the mainstay of their air force.

There are also specialized laboratories for deep modifications and optimizations of the flying machines.

Almost all other major kingdoms and even the dwarf tribes have mastered the manufacturing technology of flying machines, each building aircraft with their own distinctive features, although they haven't made them the main strength of their air force.

Compared to flying machines, most kingdoms and forces still prefer entrusting aerial security to aerial cavalry units riding fierce bird magical beasts.

Zong Shen piloted the goblin airship cruising at a constant speed at an altitude of three to four hundred meters.

Half an hour later, they left the desert zone below. From the cockpit, they could see the firelight on the ground in the distance.

This was the trace of villages at night, with the sporadic candlelights or bonfires becoming very conspicuous at night, especially when viewed from the air.

Thus, Zong Shen began searching for open terrain to prepare for landing.

After a brief search, he quickly found a suitable clearing.

In this half-hour, they had consumed more than 7,000 points of magic energy.

That's equivalent to over seventy basic-level magic energy crystals.

Successfully, under nighttime conditions, they left the desert zone where shark lizards roamed.

Landing was smoother than take-off.

As the rotation speed of the four sets of turbofan engines decreased, the propulsion airflow also became gentle.

The altitude began to decrease under the influence of gravity, and a few minutes later, the goblin airship landed smoothly on the ground.

Zong Shen glanced at the remaining magic energy, took out a handful of basic-level magic energy crystals, and threw them in.

The Immortal Gun Cavalry in the cockpit orderly walked out.

The Andalusian warhorses began to tread and move their limbs as soon as they disembarked from the cockpit.

"Oink oink..."

Pigsy also grunted its way out from the cabin door, which, even after being expanded, was still somewhat narrow for Pigsy.

It twisted its strong waist, trying several angles before squeezing out.

Then followed Wenresa, Luna, and her Sentinel Black Panther.

As they left, they casually put the small wooden box containing the soul calming grass into the storage grid.

As for Zong Shen, he waited until everyone had left the airship before he turned off the power switch.

The turbofan engines completely ceased rotating, and the built-in fans and wind spirit gemstones in the large gas bag on top stopped functioning.

Only then did he stand up, leave the cockpit, and step down from the rear cabin door.

He waved his hand in front of the goblin airship, and it was stored into the storage grid.

Convenient! Easy! Fast!

If asked what Lord's Privileges Zong Shen was most satisfied with,

First was loyalty, and second was the personal storage grid and construction function.

Though lords often seemed to toil away, in reality, compared to ordinary indigenous people, they were essentially exploiting cheat codes.

A golden navigation arrow and the remaining distance began to appear in front of Zong Shen's narrowed eyes.

They now had less than a hundred kilometers to go to reach Boss Bang.

After these activities, it was already past 8 PM; if they were quick, they might reach Bang City around 10 PM.

He twisted his waist and hips that were a bit stiff from sitting for a long time before mounting the pig.

He called for everyone to get ready for departure.

Once everyone was prepared, he lightly tapped Pigsy's head, and the group set off once more towards Boss Bang.

After leaving the desert zone, the surroundings turned into lush grasslands and fortified dirt roads.

This long journey further solidified Zong Shen's desire to acquire an aerial mount.

Conveniently, he still had a [Pet Contract (Purple)] in his hand, and before having enough strength to subdue the Greedy Handsome Guy, he could consider capturing a reliable aerial mount first.

Though Pigsy was diligent and hardworking, as a ground war beast, it indeed could no longer meet Zong Shen's requirements for long-distance travel.

Besides an aerial mount, establishing the [Hundred Kilometer-level Teleportation Array] between Boss Bang and the territory as soon as possible was another good choice.

This time coming to Boss Bang, apart from meeting Baron Bezos, researching commercial development, and completing Master Mars's mission, Zong Shen also planned to invest in property in Boss Bang.

Purchasing a small courtyard as the location for the teleportation array, and if his money wasn't enough, then looking for a village nearby would be a compromise.

Eliminating the geographical barrier between the territory and Boss Bang as soon as possible would allow Boss Bang to become a resource warehouse to support the next stage of territorial development.

All of this required Zong Shen to gradually implement once he reached Boss Bang.

This time, the scenery along the way finally started to look normal again.

There were villages every twenty kilometers or so on average.

These villages were either spread along both sides of the dirt road or slightly further from the roadside.

The light reflecting from the villages at night suggested that they were not small in scale.

At least they were comparable to Sitanos Village.

This was the logical norm!

The closer to the city, the higher the population density.

These villages were in a subordinate relationship with Boss Bang, providing fundamental living materials for it.

Such as food, beef and mutton, textiles, and handicrafts.

They are an important link in maintaining the supply of basic materials within Boss Bang.

Zong Shen advanced, analyzing the urban structure of this world.

This would serve as a reference for developing his territory in the future.

With territorial expansion, inevitable overlaps or additions with other lords' territories would occur.

Most of these would be recruited into the [Legion].

Zong Shen was constantly pondering their positioning.

Whether he could utilize the differences between other territories to form unique functional zones with his territory at the core and others as auxiliaries, creating a vast regional urban circle.

This idea was indeed feasible, albeit requiring some time.

At the very least, his territory needed to first develop a rudimentary city structure.

Initially, through a loose alliance, he could unite nearby lords, then gradually incorporate them into the interest map based on territorial expansion.

Zong Shen felt pleased because this plan was indeed very feasible!
