Chapter 144 Maintenance Issues

The waves rolled over and hit the Jasmine frigate shaking slightly on the sea surface.

Leslie stood firmly on the deck, completely motionless.

Now he is no longer a rookie who vomited all over the floor shortly after boarding a seaboat for the first time. After nearly two years of sea experience, he has already fully adapted to the life at sea, and even fell in love with this kind of life. life.

If he went back to Anvilmar City now, those noble ladies and ladies who always screamed because of his appearance in the past would no longer be able to recognize him strictly.

Of course, those noble ladies and ladies screamed for him before, somewhat because of his status as the heir of the Stark family.

And now that the Stark family has long since disappeared from the history of the Lampari Kingdom, he, the heir, naturally lost the most dazzling halo.

But Leslie didn't feel that such a thing was a pity at all. He was already tired of the life of a nobleman before, and now he ran to live in the sea, which made him seek excitement that he had never thought of. It made him more and more inseparable from this kind of life.

"My lord, I have received a message from the chairman!"

The adjutant on the frigate suddenly ran over with a black lacquered ugly second-generation magic talking box.

"Oh? So they are not far from here." Leslie took the magic communication box and shouted directly: "Hey, Xu Yi, where have you been?"

Xu Yi's hearty laughter sounded from the magic communication box: "I said Leslie, are you talking nonsense? The effective range of the mobile magic signal tower on your ship is less than four kilometers. Where else do you think I can go? "

"I'm asking for your exact location. Do you want us to meet you?"

"We should be in your northwest direction. Don't meet us. Drive directly to Yala Port, and we will meet outside the port."

"it is good."

Leslie turned his head and told the adjutant: "Send the order and head to Yala Port collectively."

The adjutant left in response.

After a while, seeing the other frigates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce frigate fleet all around the vicinity heading towards the direction of Yala Port, Leslie said to the magic communication box, "Xu Yi, I have to say that this mobile magic signal tower is still there. It’s really easy to use. With this thing, the command staff has become much simpler, and there is no need to stay a little far away as before and just resign themselves to fate.”

"This thing is not as easy to use as you think. Its effective distance is currently less than four kilometers. If you exceed four kilometers, you will not be able to communicate. But after a while, the test on your Jasmine has not worked." If there is a problem, I will install the same magic signal tower on every other frigate. In this way, as long as you train properly, you can disperse all these frigates. In theory, only twenty frigates are needed. It can cover an area of ​​more than one hundred square kilometers on the sea."

"Really? That's great. In this endless sea, the most troublesome thing is the communication problem. It's okay to say that it's near the islands where we set up bases. Once we are far away, there is really no way." " Leslie paused, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Hey, Xu Yi. Have you considered this issue this time? If we can cover the entire sea area with the communication network you mentioned, we will It's much easier to control."

Xu Yi chuckled from the magic communication box: "Don't worry. I've already prepared."

"That's good."

The frigate was driving on the endless sea at high speed, and it didn't take long to see a black line representing land in front of it.

And at this moment, two groups of "dark clouds" flew over at an unusually high speed in the sky in front of the left, and soon stopped over the head of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Leslie looked up and connected to the magic communication box in his hand again.

"Hey, Xu Yi, aren't you planning to come down?"

"No need, just fly over like this."

Leslie looked up at the two magical airships flying steadily high in the sky, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, is this a demonstration?"

In the magic airship above his head, Xu Yi closed the magic communication box in his hand, turned his head to look at Akali who was concentrating on taking notes beside him, and after a while, when she stopped, he asked, "How is the situation?"

Akali rubbed her sore hands, and frowned slightly: "The magic power signal is not too stable, and the call quality has obviously fluctuated."

"Well, I just found out. So why is this a problem?"

Akali frowned and thought for a while, spread her hands, and sighed: "I can't draw a detailed conclusion for the time being. However, according to past situations, it should be that there is a nearby magic power source that emits powerful magic power fluctuations, which affects the magic power signal. The magic power signal from the magic circle in the tower and the magic communication box fluctuates. It may also be because the frigate is driving at high speed and the environment changes rapidly, resulting in instability in the magic power signal."

"It's possible. But when it comes to the impact of environmental changes, the environment on land is obviously much more complicated than that on the sea. Since you can handle it well on land, I believe there should be no problem on the sea."

Akali raised her head, shook her beautiful shoulder-length short hair, and said proudly: "Of course, I don't even look at who I am."

Xu Yi laughed, turned around and walked into the cockpit.

This time, there is no Evita in the cockpit of the magic airship, because she is still staying in the main base and Kennard is preparing for the sale of military magic machinery to the Kingdom of Sark, so she just sent her men The research team responsible for the research on the magic airship is here.

Xu Yi briefly asked them about the sailing situation of the newly built magic airship following him, and after confirming that there were no accidents along the way, he returned to the middle cabin with confidence and waited patiently.

Although the black line representing the land can be seen from a distance, the actual distance is extremely far. The two magic airships follow the ten frigates sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet at a speed of 40 per hour. Sailing at a speed of kilometers per hour, it took more than half an hour to actually reach the land.

Seeing the Candela Empire flag and the Candela Empire Navy flag fluttering in the wind on the port of Yala from a distance, Xu Yi ordered two magic airships to prepare for landing.

When the ten frigates sailed into the port terminal of Yala Port with ease, two magic airships also slowly landed in the open space of Yala Port.

The cabin door opened, and as soon as Xu Yi stepped out, he saw Russell leading a group of people walking towards him.

Although there was a fairly enthusiastic smile on his face, if you looked carefully, you would find that Russell's eyes were slightly narrowed, and the meaning revealed in the eyes seemed to be completely opposite to the expression on his face.

"President Xu, welcome." Russell came over and greeted Xu Yi. Although his tone was not cold, he was not enthusiastic at all.

Xu Yi naturally knew why Russell had such an attitude, so he didn't mind at all. Instead, he enthusiastically took Russell's hand and shook it. It really makes me very happy to meet you."

The originally forced smile on Russell's face froze slightly, and he let go of Xu Yi's hand without a trace, and made an inviting gesture.

"President Xu, please sit inside."

"it is good."

Xu Yi smiled and led him and Russell to walk side by side into Yala Port. His eyes swept over and landed on the pier of Yala Port. He pointed to a white frigate produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with the flag of the Candela Empire Navy in the distance. Said: "Master Russell, this frigate has been serving under your navy during this period, I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"

Hearing this question, the expressions of Russell and the officers of the Kandela Empire Navy who followed behind them all changed.

Russell turned his head and took a deep look at Xu Yi, then nodded slowly: "President Xu, did you do it on purpose?"

"On purpose? What intention?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

Russell snorted heavily: "President Xu, you clearly know that we invited you here this time to discuss the follow-up maintenance of the frigate, but now you come here to ask this kind of question, are you deliberately blaming us?"

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed an agreement with the Candela Empire Navy to sell them three frigates, but the three frigates want to be built, at the latest next year.

However, Russell was eager to prove to the Imperial Navy and the military that he was right in insisting on buying frigates, so after discussing with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he decided to allocate a frigate from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's frigate fleet to be used by the Candela Imperial Navy. This is the ship in front of him. .

After the frigate entered service with the Candela Empire Navy, it performed well in the first few months, but it suddenly failed to start last month.

The Candela Empire Navy could not solve the problem, so they had to ask the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for help.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sent people to solve it, a similar problem reappeared not long after.

This time, after the overhaul, the magic ship engineer sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly pointed out to the Kandela Empire Navy that they usually did not maintain the frigate in place, which caused frequent problems with the frigate.

The Candela Imperial Navy had no choice but to invite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to negotiate and solve the follow-up maintenance of the frigate after discussion, so as to avoid similar problems after the other two frigates were also delivered for use in the future.

Xu Yi waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I didn't mean that at all. Master Russell, I was just asking if you were satisfied with the performance of this frigate when you used it during this period of time. Not good enough? This is just a normal request for after-sales opinions, please don’t get me wrong.”

Hearing this explanation, Russell and the officers of the Candela Empire Navy behind him calmed down a little. Russell turned around and pointed to a young officer who looked less than forty years old and said, "This frigate Morning Light has been in New York for some time. Serving under the command of Lieutenant Colonel En, Lieutenant Colonel Nuen, please give a detailed introduction to President Xu about your impressions of using the frigate Chenguang during this period.” (To be continued..)
