Chapter 149 Air Command
Facts have proved that the reason why the indigenous people on the island imagined Leslie and others with their swords after they landed on the island is that there is something wrong with the way they choose. ↖,
Xu Yi showed his identity as a businessman this time, and showed his sincerity by using white flour and other daily necessities urgently needed by the island residents. He quickly won the approval of the island residents and reached an agreement with them easily. Real conversational exchange.
The first stage of the whole thing went smoothly. Xu Yi already had a preliminary understanding of the island through contact with the residents of this village near the coast and a few more villages.
As Leslie expected, most of the residents on this island drifted over from the continent of Sainz a long time ago.
According to the records handed down from the island, the earliest even came to this huge island when the elves were still ruling the entire Sainz continent, and the people who drifted over in the follow-up gradually came to this huge island. Settled and multiplied on the island, forming the main group of people on this island.
It is said to be the main crowd because apart from the humans drifting over from the continent of Sainz, there are some real indigenous people on this island.
These natives are said to have lived on this island from the very beginning, they didn't know anything about the Sainz continent, and they never left the island.
Although Xu Yi was somewhat skeptical about this statement, for all the people on the island, they had actually lived on this island for so many years, and there was not much difference between them.
Of course, these issues are not that important to Xu Yi.
What he values is the value of the island itself and the precious value of various resources contained on the island.
It doesn't really matter who lives on the island.
After telling Leslie that his future mission is to control the island as much as possible. And promised to give Leslie the necessary support. Xu Yi left behind a magical airship to survey the entire island and surrounding waters. At the same time, after leaving the escort fleet under the command of Leslie, Xu Yi, Akali and others took another magic airship to return to Sainz continent.
The speed of the magic airship is naturally much faster than that of a frigate. When flying at full speed at high altitude, it can even reach a super fast speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
The straight-line distance between this island and the southern coast of the Candela Empire is about 700 kilometers. Xu Yi and his party set off from the island in the early morning in a magic airship, and they could already see the coastline of the Sainz continent in the afternoon.
It is very close to Yala Port where the Candela Empire Navy opened the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but Xu Yi didn't bother, but directly commanded the magic airship to fly in the direction of the Luerson Kingdom.
Elder Undini of the Azshara tribe sent a message half a month ago. It is said that the small town of the elves of their tribe has been built, and Xu Yi is invited to visit.
It just so happened that Steele was visiting the Azshara tribe for the shooting of the phantom film during this time, so Xu Yi planned to take the opportunity to take a look when he happened to pass by when returning to the city.
The straight-line distance between Raya Port and Nissi Port is more than 1,500 kilometers. Even with the ultra-high speed of the magic airship, it took nearly a day to arrive.
At noon the next day, the magic airship carried Xu Yi and his party to the cooperative port of the Kingdom of Luerson and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now it has become the most prosperous port in the Kingdom of Luerson, and even the southern part of the entire Sainz continent—— Port of Nissi.
Looking down from a high altitude, after the latest expansion of the port, the seventeen piers are full of all kinds of sea ships, including three large cargo magic ships from the latest batch of cargo transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi A sense of pride can't help passing by.
When this port of Nissi first came here, it was just a small pier not much different from a small fishing village. Now because of the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, driven by the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It has become one of the hubs of trade between the Rulson Kingdom and the Principality of Standing, and it has become extremely prosperous. It has abruptly turned Nisi City, a city that is not well-known in the Rulson Kingdom, into a city that is extremely popular in neighboring countries. The famous port city, the biggest hero among them is of course Xu Yi who caught it at a glance.
It can be seen from the sky that this port city has been expanded dozens of times compared to when Xu Yi first came here, and there are crowds everywhere, and everywhere is a prosperous scene, almost It is not inferior to Bangta City.
When the magic airship flew over from the sea, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
But after looking up and seeing the magic airship, except for a few people, not many people were surprised.
The magic airship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become a very famous new product in nearby countries, and has already attracted a lot of attention.
Countless people have asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before when it will officially sell the magic airship, but they have all been rejected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the grounds that it has not yet been fully developed.
But this does not hinder people's interest in magic airships. Many newspapers even made a concentrated report on magic airships, saying that if magic airships can be popularized in surrounding countries like magic locomotives, it will change everyone's life. life, and may even change the situation in all surrounding countries.
Of course Xu Yi knew what the latter sentence meant, because even His Majesty King Trutz of the Luerxun Kingdom had asked Xu Yi personally about the situation of the magic airship many times, and hoped to book some in advance.
What he was worried about was actually a very simple truth - air supremacy.
In the entire history of Sainz Continent, except for those magicians with power far beyond ordinary people, there are only magic battleships used by the elves in records that can soar in the sky.
There are magicians in every country, but magic battleships have never appeared since the elves died out.
In the previous wars between various countries on this continent, the control of air supremacy did not make much sense, because it all depended on the strength of the magicians invested by both sides.
In this country of the same level, the strength of magicians is not much different, and the number of magicians is too rare. In fact, it is difficult to really affect the victory or defeat of all wars. What to say to control the air power. It's really a ridiculous thing.
But the magic airship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appeared. But it made several surrounding countries have to pay attention to this matter.
Unlike magicians, according to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, once the magic airship is successfully developed, it can enter mass production!
What is the concept of mass production?
This means that as long as you have money, you can theoretically even equip yourself with unlimited magic airships!
And according to the information disclosed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this magic airship can also be equipped with magic cannons, magic rockets and other long-range strike military magic machinery.
To put it simply, this magical airship can be used as an aerial artillery fortress.
Perhaps it is not as flexible as a magician. It is not as terrifying as those truly powerful great magicians and magisters, but compared with ordinary magic stones, it undoubtedly has more powerful lethality, and compared with great magicians and magisters, it has very obvious Quantitative advantage.
What's more, even if the magic airship is worn out, you can buy another one. If the great magician and magister are worn out, it will be an irreparable loss.
Take the Luerson Kingdom as an example. There are currently only seven great magicians in the entire kingdom, not even a single magister. How can it be compared with the theoretically endless magical airship?
And once the crucial air supremacy is mastered, it is impossible for the armies of various countries to carry out real strikes on high-altitude targets. The magic airship is almost equal to invincibility!
Therefore, those newspapers analyzed that the magic airship may change the situation of all surrounding countries, without any exaggeration at all.
Xu Yi can fully imagine how amazing the looting will be if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce officially announces that the magic airship will be put into mass production.
"If King Trutz knew that I had ordered a hundred magical airships for the Lampari Kingdom in advance, what would he think?"
Xu Yi looked at the crowd looking up and down, and thought that if it was a thing flying above his head all day long that he couldn't reach, couldn't hit, and had amazing lethality, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. install.
It can be seen that King Trutz must do something.
While thinking about King Trutz's possible response, the magic airship shook slightly, but stopped on the deck of a large cargo magic ship belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the pier.
As soon as the hatch door opened, Neval, the commander of the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, greeted him.
Seeing Xu Yi walking out, Neval was stunned for a moment.
"Master President, why are you here? I thought it was the end of the regular cruise, and you came here to resupply."
"It's right to come to supply. The magic crystals on the airship are almost used up. You can arrange some." Xu Yi ordered.
"En." Neval turned his head and gave instructions to his subordinates, who immediately rushed to make arrangements.
Xu Yi glanced at the crowd swarming around him, waved his hand to signal them to continue with their work, and asked Neval, "How did you gain this time?"
Neval replied with a smile: "Replying to Mr. President, this shipment went very smoothly. We shipped goods worth 700,000 gold coins from the chamber of commerce at one time, and they were all looted on the first day after we arrived. Then follow your instructions Tell me, these three ships are now fully filled with zinc ore, and it only cost us 300,000 gold coins. Once they come and go, we can earn a full 400,000 gold coins."
"Well, you did a good job." Xu Yi nodded in appreciation. "But Neval, I'm afraid this good day won't be too long. According to the collected data, the demand for household magic machinery in the Luerxun Kingdom has become saturated, and it may be difficult to loot it in the future. In the future, every The profit of a trip may drop, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
Neval's face changed slightly: "Then what should we do? Chairman, we have just developed this business route to maturity, and it will die soon, it is too fast."
"I'm just talking about this trend, not saying that it will be saturated immediately. But this is something that will definitely happen, so we have to think about how to solve it in advance."
Neval frowned and thought for a long time, looked at Xu Yi, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Master President, you must have a solution, right?"
Xu Yi chuckled: "Of course, otherwise what would I do with you talking nonsense for a long time."
"Then... how to solve it?"
"It's very simple, head east." (To be continued...)
