Chapter 80 Heading Towards the Northern Seas

The leaves on the tree are gradually turning dark green, which means that the season is moving towards the hot summer step by step.

As in previous years, the early summer season of each year is the time when the sales of all kinds of household magic machinery soar.

Representatives of them are magic fans, magic refrigerators, magic air conditioners, etc. These household magic machines can bring people coolness in summer.

What is different from previous years is that this year, these household magic machines produced by several Magic Machinery Chambers of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari and several surrounding countries no longer continue to work hard in these countries in the southwest corner of the mainland. It is flocking towards the Maro Empire, the Candela Empire, and even other countries farther away.

Since the war between the Rulson Kingdom and the Candela Empire, all the countries on the Sains Continent have known the magical items of military magic machinery.

By the way, I also know that in addition to military magic machinery, there is also the concept of civilian magic machinery.

Among the various types of magic machines for civilian use, the ones that most ordinary people care about the most are of course these household magic machines that are most close to life.

So when the Candela Empire and the Lampari Kingdom signed a mutual trade agreement and opened the domestic market to the Lampari Kingdom, there was nothing that could stop these household magic machines from pouring into this huge empire.

As for the Maro Empire, no obstacles were set up from the very beginning.

Because the Marquis of Southgate has long cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several magic machinery chambers in the Lampari Kingdom, on the contrary, the people in the Maro Empire accepted the household magic machinery earlier than the Candela Empire. The presence.

Compared with the Candela Empire, the only disadvantage of the Maro Empire. That is, they are located in the north of the mainland. It is far away from these countries in the southwestern corner of the mainland where the main bases of various magic machinery guilds are currently located.

And for this question. The response from the Maro Empire was not unreasonable.

Not half a month after the representatives of the Maro Empire’s military department returned, the Amli Chamber of Commerce received a cooperation agreement from the Maro Empire, hoping that the Amli Chamber of Commerce would enter the Maro Empire and assist in the construction of several roads in the Maro Empire. .

At the same time, they also hope that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce can connect the road traffic network within the Maro Empire with the road traffic network that has already penetrated several countries in the southwest corner of the mainland and the Falk Kingdom adjacent to the Maro Empire. Create a convenient channel that can smoothly connect countries such as the Maro Empire and the Lampari Kingdom.

The Amrits Chamber of Commerce, of course, readily accepts this.

The land area of ​​the Maro Empire is even much larger than the sum of the countries in the southwest corner, if it can fully contract the road laying. The benefits gained from it are simply unimaginable.

After signing the preliminary agreement, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce sent a geological survey team to the Maro Empire almost immediately to prepare for the upcoming road laying.

Moreover, the road that was previously laid in the southwestern province of the Maro Empire began to expand naturally because of the signing of this agreement.

If there is no accident, a road leading directly to Anglo City, the capital of the Maro Empire, will be built within the next year.

The total mileage of this road is expected to exceed 2,000 kilometers, and it can be said to be the longest road laid by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce at one time.

According to Chairman Cruise, this is not only an opportunity for the Amley Chamber of Commerce, but also a challenge for them.

If the total mileage is super long and the road with complicated and changeable conditions along the way can be successfully laid. That is a great improvement for the entire Amley Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to this, as a person who traveled from the earth. He has always believed that the roads currently built by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce can only be regarded as the lowest-level roads on earth.

Not to mention that compared with those expensive highways, even compared with ordinary national highways, it is still a lot worse.

It is still very early for the road paving of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.

However, he doesn't have much time to pay attention to the challenges facing the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently facing even more difficult challenges.

###

Xu Yi looked up at the sky and found that the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly today.

Looking down at the sea surface in the distance, I found that the waves on the sea surface were slightly curled, which could be regarded as calm without waves.

"Well, very good." Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "It seems that today is a good day to go to sea."

Neval, the director of the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, smiled: "Of course, we have already chosen a date, knowing that today must be calm and calm."

"Oh? Then can you guarantee that the sea will be calm every day after going out to sea?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Neval immediately waved his hand: "My lord, you are joking. The situation at sea is complicated. It might be calm one minute, but it will be stormy the next minute. Our group has already tried it." Enough of the pain."

"These situations were all encountered in the southern waters. Do you think that if you go north, the endless sea will behave the same?" Xu Yi asked again.

"This..." Neval turned his head to look at the endless sea north of Heimi Port, pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure. However, Mr. President, I believe that based on our many years of experience at sea, even if we take a brand new channel this time, there will be absolutely no problems. Of course, what is more important is that what we have is The best sea boat in the world. As long as we take it, we will not have the slightest worry at all!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, patted Neval on the shoulder and said, "It's because of your confidence that you are the one who sent the ocean transport fleet to the Maro Empire for the first time."

Neval snapped, saluted Xu Yi, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Mr. President, I will definitely complete this task with excellence!"

Seeing his serious face, Xu Yi slowly shook his head.

"I don't need you to put on such an appearance of desperately trying to complete the mission. Remember, this voyage is just an exploration, and it's good to succeed. If you encounter any problems, you really can't go on. Then your first voyage The first choice is not to continue desperately, but to bring him back safely. Do you understand what I mean?"

Neval was stunned, and took a serious look at the expression on Xu Yi's face. Seeing his solemn expression, he asked hesitantly: "Then... Mr. President, if something really goes wrong, don't you even want the goods?"

"Nonsense! Are goods more important than people?" Xu Yi scolded. "Remember, lost goods can be recreated. Lost people can't be found. Compared with these goods, you people are much more important. I let you go this time to open up a sea route, not to Let you die."

"Oh... I see..." Neval nodded slightly. "Okay, my lord, I will definitely do my best to complete the task—of course, on the basis of ensuring everyone's safety."

"Just understand." Xu Yi nodded. "For your success this time, I also specially arranged two magic airships for you to travel together, just in case something happens, so that you can have more flexible choices. Remember, you have to travel with these two magic airships The commanding officer should keep in touch at all times to avoid accidents."

"I understand this. Please rest assured, Chairman."

"Okay, let's get ready." Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder again. Signaled him to leave on his own.

Neval saluted Xu Yi, turned and returned to a large cargo magic ship that had already docked at Heimi Port.

At this time, three large cargo magic ships, ten magic frigates, and two magic airships were docked at Heimi port.

After Neval is ready, the two magic airships will fly to the large cargo magic ship, and follow these ships to set off to the north.

The destination of this fleet is the northern seaport of the Maro Empire.

This time, the purpose of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet is to deliver a batch of military and civilian magical machines ordered by the Maro Empire from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and also to shoulder the important task of opening up a sea route.

Never before had a fleet attempted such a voyage.

Because even according to the roughest map of the Sainz continent, if one wants to sail from the Heimi port located in the southwest of the Sainz continent to the port located in the north of the Maro Empire, the distance traveled must be at least 5,000 kilometers.

With such a terrifying distance, no sea ship could reach it safely before.

And even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet has departed from the Principality of Standing many times and arrived at the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom located in the southeast corner of the Sains Continent over more than 3,000 kilometers, it still cannot compete with this voyage. compared to.

Apart from the two thousand kilometers more distance, the more important issue is that sailing north is not the same thing as sailing south.

The endless sea in the south is certainly changeable, but no one knows how to change in the endless sea in the north.

Without experience, it means many unknown dangers.

Moreover, according to some information provided by the Maro Empire, the northern seas will be frozen for almost half of the year, and only four or five months from early summer to early autumn can be used for sea voyages every year.

According to the speed of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet, even if everything is normal, it will take more than half a month to go back and forth.

Coupled with the time it takes to stop for supplies and the time it takes to load and unload goods after arrival, a complete sea shipment will take at least more than one month.

In case of an accident, the time is even more unpredictable.

Because there are too many unpredictable dangers on the way, and because this is the first attempt for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to directly contact the Maro Empire for cargo transportation, Xu Yi attaches great importance to this.

Not only did he prepare the most experienced manpower for this fleet, but he even allocated two magic airships as assistance.

With as many as 300 fully armed Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards on this fleet, as long as they do not encounter particularly powerful natural disasters, there should be no danger that can threaten them along the way.

After about half an hour, the fleet was ready for everything.

Xu Yi didn't follow Neval's suggestion to give a speech on the large cargo magic ship, because he didn't want to make this ocean voyage too solemn and put pressure on the people on board.

As he said to Neval before, talent is the most important thing.

Even if this voyage experiment fails, it’s a big deal to come back next time.

But when the people are gone, it is very difficult to find these talents with rich ocean sailing experience.

After everything was ready, the large cargo magic ship where the leader Neval was on fired three magic cannons into the sea as usual, and then slowly.

The remaining two large cargo magic ships and ten frigates followed closely behind. A total of thirteen huge ships slowly sailed away from Heimi Port, then gradually accelerated, and disappeared in the far north of the endless sea in a short time.

Xu Yi, who was staring at the disappearance of the fleet from a distance, was calculating in his mind that their current supplies could last for a few days at most, when he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled.

A crisp little girl's voice came up from below.

"Hey, Master Chairman, when can we really start exploring the deepest part of the endless sea?" (To be continued...)
