Quan Yi looked around and continued, "The technology and productivity we possess give us the power to change the entire continent."

However, constrained by other powers, we are unable to fully utilize our capabilities on the mainland.

In fact, this is the most awkward point that the Quan Family is facing right now.

That is, they do not have enough power to protect their production results.

The mainland is currently in a relatively peaceful period.

However, the fundamental nature of the law of the jungle remains unchanged.

If other powerful forces discover the Quan Family's productivity, then Quan Yi's proud productivity will become someone else's Dowry.

Therefore, whether it's strengthening education or cultivating Spirit Master, 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 enhance their strength, they need to continue to maintain a low profile.

This is also why Quan Li cannot announce the Title Douluo ban.

"However," Quan Yi changed the subject, walking excitedly toward the Sea Chart and pointing to a spot.

"But now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to break free from these limitations."

The eyes of everyone present followed Quan Yi's fingertip and saw a word.

' Blue Silver Island!'

This is the island where Quan Yi discovered the Blue Silver Seaweed King.

Everyone present was aware of the island's situation, so when they saw Quan Yi pointing at it, their eyes flashed with excitement.

Quan Yi continued, "Blue Silver Island is an isolated island located in the center of the ocean."

There are no other islands within a radius of several hundred miles.

It is more than a thousand kilometers away from Sea God Island.

Very few fleets on the entire continent have been able to penetrate this location. Moreover, before this, the area around the island was teeming with Sea Soul Beast, making this Sea Area a dangerous zone.

However, now that the Blue Silver Seaweed King, who ruled this area, has been killed by us, leaving behind only a huge island.

The island has an area of 50,000 square kilometers, which is almost the same size as the principality.

Moreover, the terrain above the island is flat, the soil is fertile, and the climate is close to that of the tropics, making it very suitable for farming.

Roughly calculated, we have at least 70 million mu of arable land available for cultivation.

Although Vast Sea City is rich in biological resources, it is not suitable for food production due to the large amount of saline-alkali land it covers.

Therefore, we often need to exchange goods to obtain food.

However, if we develop the Blue Silver Island, we will not only achieve complete self-sufficiency.

Furthermore, we can use these farmlands to recruit people, and even more ambitiously, we can establish our own country overseas.

Upon hearing Quan Yi's words, everyone's breathing became rapid.

Seventy million mu of arable land.

With the planting techniques of the feudal era, five mu of land was enough to support one person.

Those 70 million mu (approximately 4.6 million hectares) could feed 14 million people.

If they control so much land and people, the Quan Family will grow into a true behemoth.

The temptation that arose from this was fatal to everyone present.

Yun Qiong, the only one present who could still remain rational, raised a question to Quan Yi at this moment.

"We all understand that Blue Silver Island has great potential."

However, developing it is not an easy task.

First and foremost, the biggest problem is distance.

It's too far from Vast Sea City, and its location is too remote; we have no experience with long-distance voyages.

As distance increases, the risks we face in the ocean also increase.

Quan Yi understood Yun Qiong's thoughts. After all, the Quan Family only had a few thousand people, of whom less than a thousand were capable of undertaking the voyage.

In the Quan Family, where human resources are extremely precious, even the slightest risk would cause them considerable distress.

"Grandma, I understand your thoughts. I've also made preparations regarding the distance."

As he spoke, Quan Yi took out several blueprints from the Blazing Sun Heart in his chest and covered them over the Sea Chart.

Yun Qiong leaned closer to examine it closely, and one of the drawings turned out to be a design blueprint for a seagoing vessel.

However, this blueprint did not match her impression of a seagoing vessel.

"What is this?" Yun Qiong asked in confusion.

Quan Yi shifted his gaze to Quan Yue beside him and said, "Father, why don't you explain to me what these are?"

Quan Yue cleared his throat and explained, "These blueprints are of various Steam Engine that Xiao Yi brought back this time."

And Mother, the picture you're holding is of a steamship that uses steam power to sail on the sea.

With this, our future sailing speed and stability will be greatly improved.

Your concerns about distance will be easily resolved with the advent of steamships.

"Steamship!"

Apart from Quan Yue and Quan Yi, everyone present was hearing this term for the first time.

Su Ling'er looked at Quan Yue and asked in surprise, "Why do you know all this?"

Quan Yue explained, "During this time, you've all been busy with childbirth and hunting for Soul Ring, and I'm the only one who has free time."

So, Xiao Yi gave me these blueprints and asked me to make them.

To avoid disturbing you, I didn't say anything.

At this moment, Quan Li asked in surprise, "Yue'er, are you saying that these blueprints were brought by Xiao Yi when he came?"

But we hadn't discovered Blue Silver Island yet at that time, had we?

"Xiao Yi, do you have some kind of precognitive ability?"

Quan Yi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm not a god, how could I possibly discover the existence of Sea Island thousands of miles away?"

The blueprints for this ship are something I've been conceiving for a long time.

This is so that it can provide greater assistance to the Quan Family when exploring the ocean in the future.

The discovery of Blue Silver Island this time was merely a matter of chance.

Yun Qiong said in disbelief, "According to you, you must have been conceiving this picture for a long time."

Did you already consider this when you were relocating the site?

Quan Yi nodded.

"Existing sailboats can only be driven by wind power."

Thus, the speed of the ship will be affected by the weather.

However, if steam power is used, our ships will not only be able to provide a stable speed, but also reduce the constraints of weather.

This would greatly increase the speed of steamships.

Although the distance was not shortened, the time was shortened.

Moreover, it contains not only steamships, but also other steam-powered machinery.

As he spoke, Quan Yi picked up the blueprint next to the steamship design and said, "This blueprint is of Steam Car designed by the Godly Blacksmith Lou Gao."

With it, we can modify the vehicle's appearance and transform it into Steam Plow capable of plowing fields.

In this way, we can use machines to carry out large-scale mechanized farming, and also make up for our lack of manpower.

Quan Yi's explanation made everyone present light up.

What initially seemed like a distant goal gradually became clearer with Quan Yi's explanation.
