Online Game: Island War

The water conservancy project of Huanghuang Island is still doing well, at least it was not breached on the first day of heavy rain.

However, after that, the heavy rain kept falling, and it seemed that there was no tendency to stop at all.

As a last resort, he ordered most of the red-haired people, including the army, to start digging tributaries in the rain.

The current area of ​​Huanghuang Island is not too large, but it has a very well-developed network of waterways. Normally, even if this level of heavy rain falls for 10 days, the island only needs to do a good job of maintaining the dams.

But what Lei Jiu was worried about was that the rain would last for two consecutive months as the system suggested.

This is not a joke, if it is true, the flood of Huanghuang Island will happen.

All the rainwater cannot be discharged by existing rivers alone.

Fortunately, although the system is ruthless, it has given him a way to survive.

This torrential rain did last for two months and 60 days, but it was not as exaggerated as the first day.

Every 10 days of heavy rain, there will be a 5-day drizzle relief period.

Otherwise, even if Lei Jiu and the islanders tried their best to save themselves, they would not be able to save Huanghuang Island from turning into Ze Country.

With the existence of the rain relief period, relying on the flood discharge capacity of the island, it is at least guaranteed that the flood will generally follow the river course, instead of making Huanghuang Island like a bowl with water rippling out, and all places will be submerged by water.

The continuous heavy rain has caused the overall temperature on the island to be low in the past two months. Fortunately, those who come out to do things are basically red-haired with strong bodies and strong immunity.

Two months later, when the sun showed his face, everyone including Lei Jiu, the island owner, cheered loudly.

This terrible disaster seems to have finally passed.

When the rain stopped, people got busier.

Many things cannot be done when it is raining all the time, but must be done immediately after the rain stops.

Compared with modern society, Huanghuang Island does not have enough disinfection methods to apply to the whole island. We can only ask everyone to drink boiled water.

Every family distributes some herbal medicines to prevent diseases.

In addition, there is the issue of food.

Corn, wheat, and other crops such as soybeans in the field fell in large swaths during the strong wind raid before the rain.

Then it was swept by torrential rain for two consecutive months, and it was thankful that it didn't die directly.

However, even if these lodging plants grow until late autumn, the yield will inevitably drop significantly.

This autumn, it is estimated that the grain output will not even be able to guarantee half of previous years, so the grain reserves may start to be consumed after the end of the year.

If this is still the case next year, Huanghuang Island is likely to face a food crisis!

When it comes to food storage, fortunately, the system reminded me in advance.

Originally, the granary’s usual disaster response measures were not bad, but in the face of this level of heavy rain, it was not enough at all. In the end, it was absolutely impossible to escape the fate of all the stock being soaked.

Fortunately, the system gave them a period of preparation time in advance. Although this time was not long, it actually kept these stocks from being soaked by water.

If it is really soaked in water for two months, it is hard to say whether the food can still be eaten.

The dark clouds covering the top covered not only the sky above Huanghuang Island, but also covered the huge nearby sea area.

For the sake of safety, during this period, the fishing boats on the island will only go out to sea for fishing during the drizzle period.

Now the sun is shining after the wind and rain, and the fishing boats are rushing to the sea again.

In view of the severe food situation in two years, Lei Jiu has ordered them to increase the amount of fishing as much as possible.

If the island is not close enough, go far to catch it.

Of course, this is just a means of replenishment, Lei Jiu did not expect to rely entirely on sea fishing to solve the food pressure.

Since the system notified that the natural disaster was approaching, Lei Jiu had issued the task of purchasing grain in Jiuhuang City.

Buy the food brought by the players from the Raya Continent at a high price.

Although on the Raya Continent, there is a limit to the amount of food purchased by adventurer players, but the upper limit of each player's purchase is actually enough to feed 5 people.

But at the same time, starting from more than two people, the price will rise, and when it reaches the fifth person, the price will even soar to more than ten times or even dozens of times.

It is equivalent to that the system has not completely blocked the channel for island owners and players to obtain food from the Raya continent through adventure players, but it will cost money, and it will cost a lot of money.

In normal times, no island owner player would be willing to be taken advantage of.

But these are clearly not normal times.

Lei Jiu directly offered a price higher than the food ration for 5 people in Laya Continent, which instantly aroused a lot of enthusiasm among adventurers and players.

In less than three days, there were millions of players, and more than half of the total players took their food quota for this year to sell on Huanghuang Island.

Some players even sold their evaluation rations to Huanghuang Island.

There is no way, with dozens of times the profit, many people can't bear it.

Of course, this kind of situation is rare, and Lei Jiu does not encourage it, and even specially sends people at the purchase point to remind them not to be dazzled by the benefits.

He didn't want to spoil the reputation of Huanghuang Island just because of a piece of food.

Most of the food that adventurers sell to Huanghuang Island is concentrated between three and four people.

On the whole, Huanghuang Island has harvested a year's rations for 20 million people.

Balance the food intake of players of different races, and then calculate the average food intake of the red-haired and silver-haired species on the island. This food can feed 15 million islanders for a year.

After all, this batch of food is really a lot!

For this, Lei Jiu paid a lot of gold coins.

Although the original price of food is not high, it is a bit exaggerated when it has increased by dozens of times. Imagine that rice that costs two yuan a catty suddenly rises to more than one hundred yuan a catty...

There are naturally island owners who think the same way as Lei Jiu, but no matter whether it is financial resources or influence among adventurers, there are very few who can wrestle with him.

Therefore, half of the remaining food in the hands of the adventurers flowed into Huanghuang Island, and other island owners and players divided up the other half.

Although a lot of preparations have been made, Huanghuang Island is still facing a very severe situation if the overall natural disaster will last for two years and the four grain harvests in two years will fail in a large area.

But for the time being, Lei Jiu can only think of this solution.

It is possible to buy food from the point store with ranking points, but he has no plans to do so yet.

After all, this method can be used at any time, and there is no rush now.

If there is really no other way to think about, and the islanders really have no food to cook, he will buy it.

Still have to keep trying...

Now, Huanghuang Island has to try its best to maintain production, and to deal with these two methods by catching a large number of sea goods. The only way to dig deep is from the outside world.

There was not much to be squeezed out of Jiuhuang City, Lei Jiu turned his attention to the Mermaid Empire in the deep sea.

Now the relationship between Huanghuang Island and the Ninth Chamber of Commerce is still in the honeymoon period, and it is still easy to talk there.

But at the beginning, Serakan said that their chamber of commerce could not be involved in grain transactions.

But Lei Jiu can't control so much now, so he went directly to Seramon, even if the Ninth Chamber of Commerce had no choice, he still asked him if he had other channels...
