Chapter 40 You Will Not Be Alone
After sending Heinze away, Xu Yi processed a few documents at hand, turned his head and glanced out the window, thought for a while, and drove the magic car to leave the private estate and drive to the shipyard. …≦Apex Fiction,
As soon as he approached the shipyard, he heard a deafening roar on the sea in the distance.
Turning his head to look, he saw a column of water rising into the sky on the sea surface, which was more than ten meters high.
At this time, the sun slanted from the west sea, and the water droplets fell, splashing the sky, and the sun was reflected in colorful colors, which looked extremely gorgeous.
Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the place where the water column fell, then tilted his head, and his eyes fell on a ship about 300 meters away from the water column. , the appearance is somewhat similar to the magic assault boat, but it is several times larger, and it looks sharper and thinner on a medium-sized magic ship.
As soon as he turned his gaze, a bright blue light suddenly lit up on the medium-sized magic ship, and then he saw a small black spot shoot out with fiery red light, drawing a long line in the air above the sea. The long parabola landed on the sea more than 500 meters away.
"boom--"
There was another loud bang, and a water column more than ten meters high was blasted out of the sea that had just returned to calm. Huge ripples swayed away from the explosion point, pushing a rotten wooden boat parked dozens of meters away. .
Seeing that the rotten wooden boat was still intact, Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head.
It is really disappointing that the target is still intact.
Glancing at the medium-sized magic ship in the distance, the magic power in Xu Yi's body moved. The whole body disappeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, it reappeared out of thin air on the deck of the medium-sized magic ship more than a thousand meters away from the coast.
Lumi on the deck was the first to react. As soon as he turned his head and saw Xu Yi appearing from the void, he immediately smiled and won like a happy little girl.
"Hey, President, why are you free today?"
"I just had nothing to do, and I wanted to see how your progress is going." Xu Yi responded, and greeted other people who had reacted after hearing Lumi's greeting. "How is it? Is there any progress? I saw that wooden boat used as a target is still fine."
Hear this sentence, everyone. Including Lumi, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and at the same time, there was a hint of shame on their faces.
"This..." The dwarf engineer Botruo, who is mainly in charge of the ship-borne magic artillery project, scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "Master President, the progress is indeed not very good. We have done actual artillery fire tests for three days. , so far... Except for Captain Fario, no one else has been hit by a single shot..."
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked aside at Fario, the Elf Captain of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's guard, who was firmly fixed on the deck like a tree. "Fario, why are you the only one who can shoot. The others can't?"
Fario replied blankly: "Because our elves' shooting talent is much higher than theirs."
"Really?" Xu Yi glanced at the other people on the deck. Finding that there was another elf among the group of people, he pointed to him and asked, "Then why didn't Irdan shoot?"
Fario glanced at Irdan indifferently: "Irdan is now a researcher, not a soldier. His talent has been wasted."
Irdan coughed lightly, looking embarrassed.
"Okay, I admit that Fario, your shooting talent is better than others, but what we need to know now is, what exactly is your talent? That is to say. What exactly do you rely on to shoot? And Can the others miss it?" Xu Yi asked.
Fario frowned slightly, thinking about it. Answer: "I think... the most important thing is that our elves have much better eyesight than other races. Secondly, because our elf warriors are generally proficient in bows and arrows, we are used to judging corrections based on the trajectory of bows and arrows. Hmm... …Actually, I missed the first few shots, but after a few shots, I figured out the pattern, and the next few shots were able to hit.”
Xu Yi immediately turned his head to look at Porttrue, frowned and said, "Since Fario has figured out the rules, why don't you ask him for advice and improve based on his experience?"
Portelo spread his hands helplessly: "Master President, this is the talent of their elves, nothing can replace it."
"No, I don't think so." Xu Yi shook his head. "In terms of the vision advantage of the elves, you can try to install an improved telescope on the magic cannon. As for the summary rules that Fario said... Actually, have you forgotten what I said? The so-called rules, In fact, it is the process of continuously refining the data.”
Porteru's expression changed: "Master President, do you mean... let us and Fario keep experimenting with artillery shooting, and then carry out statistics and fine-tuning here?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Yi said angrily, "Could it be that you have been working on the research and development of magic machines for so long, and still don't understand this?"
Portelo touched his head and muttered: "We are only developing magic artillery for the first time, and we are not proficient enough..."
"Then make yourself proficient as soon as possible!" Xu Yi glared at him, leaving him and a bunch of other engineers and researchers to cooperate with Fario to study the ship-borne magic cannon, while pulling Lumi aside .
"Hey, Lumi, how do you feel in the shipyard these days?" Xu Yi asked.
"Very good." Lumi replied with a smile. "Everyone treats me very well, and I am very happy that many people can communicate with me about magic machinery here."
"Really? That's good." Xu Yi nodded. "But you are the only dwarf here, will you still feel lonely?"
A gloomy look flashed across Lumi's small face, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Sometimes I do feel lonely, but I've been doing this for almost a hundred years, and I'm used to it."
Immediately cheered up again.
"But it doesn't matter! After staying in the shipyard for so long, I firmly believe that we will be able to create a magic ship that can easily complete ocean voyages! At that time, as long as I drive the magic ship to find another continent, I can meet my people. Already!"
"Hehe, it will take at least a few years. Before that, have you ever thought about the possibility of meeting other clansmen in advance?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Lumi, you said last time that the last news you knew about other tribesmen was when they left the Sainz continent more than 2,000 years ago, is that true?"
"That's right, what's the matter?"
"However, from the various documents I read during this period, I found that after the great migration of the dwarves more than 2,000 years ago. In fact, there were sporadic rumors of the discovery of dwarves. Although these are just rumors, There is no real evidence, but after seeing you with my own eyes and discovering your existence, I thought of a possibility."
"What's possible?" As if hearing the hidden meaning in Xu Yi's words, Lumi's big eyes flickered a little bit.
"You see, you and your family didn't choose to leave the Sainz continent. Instead, you stayed. Then, besides your family, there are probably other dwarves who also chose to stay like you. So I I feel that it is very likely that you are not the only dwarf clan in the current Sains Continent, there should be other clansmen."
Lumi's eyes widened: "Really? Can you find them then?"
"I can't guarantee that this is true, and I can't guarantee that I can find them, but I can find a way to find them, but before that. I need your consent and support."
"If I can find my clansman, I'm willing to do anything!" Lumi immediately responded loudly.
"Very good." Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction. "Lumi, the method I want to adopt is a stupid method, which is to spread your news throughout the Sains continent. It is best to pass this news to the ears of other dwarves who may exist, so that they I know that you still exist on this continent. If they also want to find their people, I think they will definitely come to you."
"Can you really spread this news to the whole continent?" Lumi was a little skeptical.
"I dare not say it in other places, but at least the surrounding countries are guaranteed to be fine. After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce develops to other countries in the future, I can also spread this news to other countries." Xu Yi said with certainty . "But there's a problem with that."
"what is the problem?"
"That's why you will become a celebrity. Lumi, you should be very aware of how rare the dwarves are on the continent of Sainz. If people know your existence, it will definitely cause a big sensation. And in order to let your But the news is being conveyed to let other dwarves know that you still have to show your face in public and show your identity. This will have a great impact on your life, do you think this is okay?"
Lumi's delicate eyebrows were deeply frowned.
Although she didn't understand what Xu Yi said about the troubles of celebrities, but thinking that she would be treated as a rare item by many, many humans, she felt that this scene would definitely be troublesome.
But thinking of the possibility Xu Yi mentioned, she felt that this proposal was full of temptation.
Xu Yi looked at Lumi quietly, without urging her.
In fact, it took him a long time to make this decision.
The reason for doing this is actually out of prudence.
Although Lumi always said that as long as they go deep into the endless sea and find another continent, they can find their own people.
But even if the dwarves from more than 2,000 years ago did research on magic machines, they were still far behind the current technological level of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
With the level of sea-going ships at that time, going deep into the endless sea for ocean-going voyages was a narrow escape.
If you look at it pessimistically, it is very likely that the dwarves will all die in the endless sea.
Even if they are more optimistic, the dwarves have found a new continent, but it is still unknown whether they can settle and continue in the new continent.
In the past two thousand years, anything is possible.
There is a great possibility that the dwarves who left the Sainz continent have completely disappeared, and only the dwarfs left on the Sainz continent are left in this world.
If this is the case, it would be a tragedy if Lumi's long-awaited exploration of ocean voyages fails.
So before that, Xu Yi decided that it would be best to try his best to find out the dwarves on the Sainz continent first.
In this way, even if the dwarves who left the Sainz continent cannot be found at that time, Lumi will not be left alone until finally facing the greatest tragedy of genocide.
Through Lumi's performance during the period when he entered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi was convinced that the dwarves did have special talents in magic machinery.
The addition of Lumi has greatly improved the research and development progress of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on many magic machines, and also inspired the ideas of many new magic machines, as well as the improvement of various original magic machines.
If more dwarves can join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly make the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even more powerful in the technology research and development of magic machines.
Of course, in private, Xu Yi really felt that it was really pitiful for Lumi to be alone.
Lumi pondered for a long time, then raised her head to look at Xu Yi, and nodded slowly.
"Okay, President, let's do this. If I can find other clansmen, I will thank you very much."
Xu Yi smiled slightly, and patted Lumi's shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, I believe you will never be alone."
Lumi gave a heavy "um", a smile appeared on her small face.
Xu Yi suddenly smiled: "Since you agreed, Lumi, from tomorrow onwards, you will report to Steele every day, understand?"
"Huh?" Lumi was stunned. "Why did you report to Steele?
"Because...you will be a star in the future." (To be continued...)
