In the humble government office, when Angela mentioned the food issue for the third time, Renault, who was in the top position, sighed helplessly.

    It has been seven days since he arrived at the tidal islands. In these seven days, Renault sighed more than he sighed on the way to the great escape.

    Until now, Renault deeply realized that it''s really hard to be a lord, especially when you don''t have a "system" to rely on.

    Although Angela is in charge of most of the trivial matters, there is nothing she can do about some thorny problems. At this time, Renault is needed.

    After solving the problem of the black Orc warship, the white tailed sparrow sailed for nearly half a month, encountered large and small sea monsters on the way, passed through the dangerous fog area, and finally successfully arrived at guikui island.

    And guikui island is a part of Haichao archipelago.

    Elon was right that the most terrifying thing about Renault''s journey was the terrible turbulence, especially in the fog area.

    Turbulence can be seen almost everywhere in the whole storm area. According to Elon, once the storm season officially enters, turbulence will appear in all sea areas, even the sea areas close to the mainland, except that the frequency and velocity of occurrence are not as high as those in the deep sea.

    It is impossible for this strange phenomenon to appear on the earth, but it has existed "ever since the beginning of history" in the alien world. It has happened every year since the beginning of historical records.

    Renault is sure that this phenomenon has something to do with fury.

    The speed of these turbulence is fast or slow. Most of them are faster than 30 m / s, and the fastest turbulence is even as high as 100 m / s. once a ship is involved in them, it will be completely out of control.

    Sometimes the sea looks calm, but in fact there is a quiet turbulence under the water, and the speed is amazing.

    One of the most dangerous situations happened in the fog area.

    The white tailed sparrow inadvertently drove into a high-speed turbulence, and was carried into a dense group of reefs. Renault tried to push the white tailed sparrow away from the turbulence with all his strength.

    In a few minutes, the bow of the white tailed sparrow tilted more than 10 degrees and could capsize at any time.

    Fortunately, Renault immediately dived into the water and sealed the bottom of the ship with [reverse heat conduction] ice to block the damaged part in time to avoid further water inflow.

    Next, it took the crew a whole half day to drain all the water. Then Elon instructed the crew to use spare boards to repair the breach.

    Finally, to be on the safe side, Renault melted down a lot of weapons, made a few large pieces of metal plates, and put a few strengthening patches on the bottom of the ship, which saved the white tailed sparrow.

    However, after the disaster, everyone''s luck improved greatly. In the later journey, everything went very smoothly. Even the operation of "taking over" guikui island was extremely smooth, and the resistance was extremely slight.

    When the white tailed sparrow arrived at guikui Island, the pirates on the island actually had an internal fight. Because of the uneven distribution of stolen goods, the two leaders led their own men to start a conflagration. In the end, the two were killed and injured, and their confidants were also seriously injured.

    When the pirates almost completely clear the Renault islands, they fly over the core of the island.

    The tidal islands include two livable islands, one large and one small, and nearly 100 reefs.

    Big Island, the original guikui Island, is now renamed Odin island by Renault, which is his own surname.

    Renault thought the name was too ugly. He changed it the first time after he went to the island.

    Odin island has a total area of 150 square kilometers. Most of the island is covered with mountains and forests. There is also a fresh water river with abundant flow. It is also the most livable island in the islands.

    The name of the island, Cylon, comes from Angela''s surname.

    The area of Theron island is only more than 60 square kilometers, less than half of that of Odin island. The island also has fresh water rivers and the terrain is flatter.

    But in the storm area, flat terrain is not a good thing, once entering the storm season, it means that any corner of the island is not covered, and violent storms can easily sweep the whole island.

    Except for these two islands, the area of other islands and reefs is not large, either there is no fresh water at all, or there are only seasonal rivers, which are not suitable for living at all.

    However, although the territory is not small, it can be regarded as destitute, because these pirates have no concept of territory management, and almost everything on the island is lacking.

    The most difficult problem facing Renault is food.

    At present, there are more than 2200 residents on the island, of which more than 400 are passengers of the white tailed sparrow, and the rest are former residents of guikui island.

    There was a lack of food on the island. Since the beginning of the internal strife, the two leaders, in order to expand their power, plundered the population desperately when they went out to plunder, which made the food problem more serious.

    At this time, many people went to the south by sea, which made it easier to plunder the population. As a result, the total population of the island doubled in just one year.However, there is almost no increase in grain. At present, grain storage can only last for three months. That is to say, by the middle of the first snow month, the island will be completely out of grain.

    To solve this problem, the best way is to go fishing, and only the vast ocean can provide enough food.

    But the ubiquitous turbulence is a big problem. There are many reefs around the tidal islands. Once ordinary fishing boats encounter turbulence, they are likely to be destroyed and killed.

    Therefore, if you want to go to sea, the power of the fishing boat must be strong enough to get rid of the turbulence in time.

    Of course, Renault, like his predecessor, could force the islanders to go fishing.

    In the past years, the two brothers occasionally tried to solve the food problem when they were in a good mood. At this time, they would drive some unfortunate people away and drive the old boats to fish.

    If fishermen can catch fish, that''s good. If they are buried at the bottom of the sea, they can save a lot of food.

    Most of the time, the two leaders simply ignore it.

    Not enough food? Isn''t starvation enough?

    However, at this time, Renault''s conscience still exists. He can''t do this kind of thing. He doesn''t intend to let anyone go to sea until the problem of power is solved.

    Under Renault''s gaze, Angela, who presided over the meeting, knocked on the table in front of her and asked solemnly: "everybody, the progress of the" thermal magic engine "project is not smooth. I''m afraid that in the future, we will not get a new ship power system."

    "So it''s not possible to go fishing. We need to find another way. Do you have any good way to get food?"

    After a pause, she stressed, "we only have two and a half months."

    "Two and a half months" is the most relaxed calculation.

    Because after entering the harvest month, small storms will appear in the storm area, and medium storms will also appear in the windward month.

    In fact, as long as the waves are not too frequent, they will not be far away from the islands.

    Once entering the first snowy month, there will be frequent large-scale storms in the storm area. At the same time, due to the southward cold current in the polar region, snowstorms also occur from time to time. At that time, even going out is quite dangerous, let alone fishing.

    After hearing the girl''s question, everyone looked at each other and didn''t know how to answer. There was a moment of silence in the hall.

    The girl looked around at the crowd and fixed her sharp eyes on a thin black middle-aged man. She asked, "Ronald, you are most familiar with the tidal islands. Do you have any opinions?"

    In order to better manage the territory, Renault set up an administrative department under the jurisdiction of several departments, with Angela as the highest consul, and selected a number of administrative officials and civil servants from the territory.

    Now Renault''s meeting is the first meeting of directors of the executive department. Ronald, who was named by a young girl, is one of the officials she personally selected and recommended to Renault, and also one of the only awakening people among the aborigines.

    Ronald stood up a little flustered and bowed to the girl. After thinking for a moment, he began to answer the question: "Your Highness, maybe we can go to baibei beach and dig the clam."

    "We need at least four months'' food to last until the end of the storm season. Are there so many razor clams on the beach?" the consul asked

    Ronald nodded: "I''m sure there are enough white razor clams there."

    "It''s just that razor clams often hide in the sand 3-4 meters deep. They are very good at drilling sand, and their underground moving speed is not slow. It''s not easy to find them. We may need a lot of hands..."

    At this time, Renault, sitting at the top of the table, suddenly showed his interest: "can you tell me more about the white razor clam?"

    Ronald immediately bowed deeply and said respectfully, "I respect your will, Lord."

    "SOLEN novacula is a unique shellfish in the tidal islands. Its length is generally more than 1 meter, and the longest can even be up to 2 meters, and its meat is plump..."

    "When in danger, the razor clam will spray water arrows to attack the enemy, but its power is not big. As long as it wears leather armor, it can block the water arrows, and there is not much danger when digging..."

    "However, if you are not careful, you may be injured..."
