Quann Yi looked around and continued, "The technology and productivity we possess hold the power to change the entire continent.
However, constrained by other forces, we cannot unleash all the capabilities we possess on this continent."
In fact, this is the most awkward point Quann's family currently faces.
That is, they do not have sufficient strength to protect their production results.
Although the continent is currently in a relatively peaceful period,
the essence of the law of the jungle has not changed.
If other powerful forces discover the productivity of their Quann family, then the productivity that Quann Yi is proud of will become someone else's dowry.
Therefore, whether it is strengthening education or cultivating Soul Masters, the fundamental purpose is to enhance the family's ability to protect itself.
At the same time, in order to continue to steadily and quietly increase their strength, they also need to continue to maintain a low profile.
The reason why Quann Li cannot publicly announce the news of the Title Douluo is also because of this.
"However..." Quann Yi changed the subject, walked excitedly towards the sea chart, and pointed to a place.
"Now, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can allow us to break free from restrictions."
The eyes of everyone present followed Quann Yi's fingertip and saw a word.
'Blue Silver Island!'
This island is exactly the island where Quann Yi and others discovered the Blue Silver Seaweed King.
Everyone present knew the situation of the island, so when they saw Quann Yi pointing to it, excitement flashed in their eyes.
Quann Yi continued, "Blue Silver Island is an isolated island located in the center of the ocean.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are no other islands.
It is even more than a thousand kilometers away from Seagod Island.
Throughout the continent, very few fleets can penetrate to this location, and, before this, this island was surrounded by Sea Soul Beasts, which made this sea area a dangerous zone.
However, now, the Blue Silver Seaweed King, who controlled this area, has been killed by us, leaving behind a huge island.
The area of the island is as large as 50,000 square kilometers, which is almost the same as the area of a duchy.
Moreover, the terrain above the island is flat, the soil is fertile, and the climate is close to tropical, making it very suitable for cultivation.
Roughly calculated, we have at least 70 million mu of arable land that can be cultivated.
Although Vast Sea City is rich in biological resources, it is not suitable for grain production due to the large amount of saline-alkali land it covers.
Therefore, we often need to exchange resources to obtain food.
However, if we develop Blue Silver Island, we will not only be completely self-sufficient,
but also be able to recruit manpower with these farmlands, and even, to be bolder, we can also establish our own country overseas."
If they controlled so much land and population, then the Quann family would grow into a true behemoth.
The temptation brought about by this is fatal to everyone present.
Yun Qiong, the only one present who could still maintain rationality, raised a question to Quann Yi at this time.
"We all understand that Blue Silver Island has great potential.
However, developing it is not an easy task.
First of all, the biggest problem is distance.
It is too far from Vast Sea City, and its location is too remote. We do not have the experience of long-distance navigation.
Once the distance is lengthened, the risks we encounter in the ocean will also increase."
Quann Yi understood Yun Qiong's thoughts. After all, the Quann family only had thousands of people, of which less than a thousand could undertake navigation tasks.
In the Quann family, where manpower was extremely precious, even a small risk would make them feel pain for a long time.
"Grandma, I understand your thoughts. Regarding the distance, I have also made some preparations."
Saying that, Quann Yi took out several drawings from the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest and covered them on the sea chart.
Yun Qiong approached to observe carefully, and one of them was actually a design drawing of a seagoing ship.
However, this drawing was not consistent with the seagoing ships in her impression.
"What is this?" Yun Qiong asked doubtfully.
Quann Yi turned his gaze to Quann Yue, who was on the side, and said, "Father, why don't you help me explain what these are."
Quann Yue cleared his throat and explained, "These drawings are various steam machines that Little Yi brought back this time.
And, Mother, the one you are holding is a steamship that uses steam power to navigate in the sea.
With this, our future sailing speed and stability will be greatly improved.
The distance problem you are worried about will be easily solved with steamships."
"Steamship!"
Except for Quann Yue and Quann Yi, everyone present was hearing this word for the first time.
Su Ling'er looked at Quann Yue and asked in surprise, "Why do you know about these?"
Quann Yue explained, "During this time, you have all been busy with childbirth and hunting for Soul Rings, and I was the only one with free time.
So, Little Yi gave me these drawings and asked me to make them.
In order not to interfere with you, I didn't say anything."
At this time, Quann Li asked in surprise, "Yue'er, are you saying that these drawings were brought by Little Yi when he came?
But, we hadn't discovered Blue Silver Island at that time, had we?
Little Yi, could it be that you can predict the future?"
Quann Yi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I am not a god, how could I possibly discover the existence of the island from thousands of miles away?
This steamship drawing is something I started to conceive a long time ago.
It is to bring greater help to the Quann family when exploring the ocean in the future.
This time, being able to discover Blue Silver Island is just a coincidence."
Yun Qiong said with some disbelief, "According to what you said, you should have conceived this drawing for a long time.
Could it be that you had already thought of this when you were relocating?"
Quann Yi nodded.
"Existing sailing ships can basically only rely on wind power to drive them.
In this way, the speed of the ship will be affected by the weather.
However, if we use steam power, then our ships will not only be able to provide a stable sailing speed, but also reduce the constraints of the weather.
In this way, the speed of the steamship will be greatly improved.
Although the distance has not been shortened, the time has been shortened.
Moreover, there are not only steamships in here, but also other steam-powered machines."
Saying that, Quann Yi picked up the drawing next to the steamship design drawing and said, "Like this drawing, it is a steam car designed by the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao.
With it, we can modify the appearance of the vehicle and transform it into a steam-powered plowing machine that can till the land.
In this way, we can rely on machines to carry out large-scale mechanized farming, and also make up for our shortage of manpower."
Quann Yi's explanation made the eyes of everyone present light up.
The originally somewhat distant goal slowly became clear under Quann Yi's explanation.
