Chapter 81 Blueprint of Elven Battleship
Xu Yi squatted down, keeping his gaze parallel to the little girl in front of him.
"Hey, Rumi, are you in a hurry?"
Lumi, a dwarf girl who looks like a little human girl, pouted slightly, looking cute.
"Of course I'm in a hurry! I can't wait to find my clansmen now!"
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that even if you really go on an ocean voyage and discover a new continent, you may not be able to find your own people, because the sailing skills of the Sainz continent back then were so poor, maybe those who escaped from Sainz All the dwarves of Sri Lanka have been buried in the boundless endless sea.
Of course, it was impossible for Xu to say these words.
"Don't worry, because this matter cannot be rushed." Xu Yi shook his head. "Just talking about ocean voyages, do you think that with the current shipbuilding technology of our chamber of commerce, we can support a fleet to sail thousands of kilometers continuously in the boundless sea without any problems?"
Lumi suddenly fell silent, lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head in frustration.
Since she joined the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, she has been working as an engineer in the shipyard, and she is even more familiar with the ship technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than Xu Yi.
Of course she understands that although the current shipbuilding technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is sufficient to support a fleet of ocean voyages, and can even carry out such ultra-long-distance voyages like the exploration of the Maro Empire thousands of kilometers away, it is very difficult. Support a fleet to explore the depths of the Great Sea.
The difference is that the current ocean voyages are still offshore voyages, and exploration of new continents is such a thing. But it will go extremely deep into the endless sea. Really enter this vast and endless sea to explore.
The same is true if there is an accident. Offshore voyages can find ways to return to the land for help, but ocean exploration may not be able to approach the land at any time. Once an accident occurs, it may be the result of a ship crash or death.
This is also the main reason why Xu Yi dared to let Neval and others explore new sea routes, but refused to allow Lumi to explore the ocean.
Seeing the disappointment on Lumi's face, Xu Yi smiled again: "Lumi, in fact, if you just want to explore the new continent, you don't have to use magic ships to explore the ocean. There is another way to achieve this Target."
"Is there?" Lumi looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Of course." Xu Yi stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky above his head. "Compared to the rough and unpredictable sea, don't you think the sky is more reliable?"
Lumi was stunned: "Master President, do you mean to use the magic airship to explore? But isn't the magic airship can only fly a thousand kilometers away? How could it be enough to fly to the New World?"
"That's just now." Xu Yi smiled. "When the magic airship was first developed, it could only fly as far as 300 kilometers away, and the fastest speed was less than 50 kilometers per hour, but now it can fly to 1,000 kilometers away, and the fastest speed even exceeds 100 kilometers per hour. Twenty kilometers. According to this development trend, I think it will soon break through to an unimaginable level.”
"But it's impossible to let it fly more than 10,000 kilometers in one go..." Lumi still didn't believe it.
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that it is not impossible for a large passenger plane on the earth to fly 10,000 kilometers in one go.
And if refueling through the air. The flight distance will only be longer.
Of course, this requires the existence of a base capable of resupply in the middle.
Xu Yi looked at the deep sea in the distance. I thought that if countless bases that could provide supplies could be built on the endless sea like on Earth, then not to mention flying 10,000 kilometers away, even theoretically, every place on this planet could be covered.
In this regard, in fact, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already started to work.
Because the Kingdom of Sark blocked the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through the sea, Xu Yi later strengthened the defense in this area and began to build bases on various islands along the coast of the Principality of Standing for defense.
After several years of development, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now brought the islands with a distance of more than 500 kilometers away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into its own control.
If the magic airship takes off from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then within the range of 500 kilometers, any island with a base can be found at random, and it can be replenished, which is equivalent to taking off again in a full state.
And if this control area continues to extend to the endless sea, then according to the exploration of the nearby sea area by the magic airship sent by Evita, it can be found that in the endless sea more than a thousand kilometers away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce , still dotted with large and small islands.
There are even humans on some of the larger islands.
As long as you select some islands to control, you will naturally be able to penetrate the tentacles of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the depths of the endless sea.
If it is extended like this a little bit, it is not impossible to cover the entire endless sea.
At that time, exploring the New World is of course a no-brainer.
"Master President, Master President? When you mentioned the magic airship just now, I suddenly remembered something." Lumi suddenly raised her voice to interrupt Xu Yi's imagination.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Actually, I have a design drawing about the magic battleship designed by our tribe for the elves, but I forgot it in the Azshara tribe. If you are interested, let me go back and get it. I think Ai After Dean Weita has read this blueprint, it will definitely be helpful to her research on the magic airship." Lumi said.
Seeing Lumi's expectant look, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but let out a hey laugh.
Although this Lumi doesn't look much different from a human little girl, she is actually a dwarf who has lived for hundreds of years, not a real little girl who doesn't care about the world.
She had never mentioned before that she had the blueprints for a magic warship, but now she brought it up, probably because she told her that using a magic airship can also explore the new continent, and she decided to do so because she saw the hope of finding her clansmen.
Otherwise, she might keep hiding it.
"How much is this Lumi hiding?" Xu Yi couldn't help thinking.
But after thinking about it, Xu Yi felt that this didn't seem to be very important.
If he was very interested in the legendary invincible magic battleship of the elves before, then now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is researching magic machinery rapidly, he is more interested in the so-called magic on the Sainz continent that has been around for thousands of years. Mechanics no longer have any place to feel awe.
The magical battleship designed by the dwarves for the elves is said to be invincible, but the cost is extremely high, and the practicality is actually extremely poor.
And according to the legend, the main function of this magical battleship is reflected in its extremely powerful attack power.
If Xu Yi's guess is correct, it should be that the magic battleship is attached with extremely powerful offensive magic, and then relying on the powerful magic power of the elves to exert extremely powerful and almost invincible power.
This point is completely different from Xu Yi's design direction for magic airships and even military magic machinery, and there is not much reference value.
Of course, he didn't express his refusal, but nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, if the legendary magic battleship can be used as a reference, Evita will definitely gain a lot of inspiration."
Even if it is not in line with the research direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi still believes that this thing can be useful, not to mention that Lumi brought it up so actively, it is not easy to blow her good intentions.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't seem to be particularly active, Lumi was a little disappointed, so she gave a oh and nodded to show that she understood.
After chatting with Lumi for a few more words, Lumi and other people from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who came to see off the Neval ocean transport fleet returned to the Principality of Standing on the magic airship, but Xu Yi drove his own magic car, After leaving the Heimi port, head east all the way into the Heimi Wasteland, then turn north and reach the border of the Heimi Wasteland.
When a ray of fresh greenery appeared at the far end of his line of sight, Xu Yi knew that his destination was about to arrive.
Ahead is a piece of territory previously requested by the Moon Shadow Tribe from the Kingdom of Sark.
This territory is adjacent to the endless sea in the west, and the black rice wasteland is hard to reach. It is like digging out a piece in the southwest corner of the Sak kingdom, lying between the Sak kingdom and the black rice wasteland, making it difficult for the Sak kingdom to relax now. Invading the Black Rice Wasteland, and then posing a threat to the Black Rice Wasteland and the Principality of Standing to the south.
Two years ago, when the Sark Kingdom handed over this territory to the Moon Shadow Tribe, it was as desolate as the Black Rice Wasteland, but now two years later, it has turned into a jungle full of greenery and full of vitality.
There is an old saying in Sainz Continent that the feet of the elves are always accompanied by greenery and vitality, which is perfectly reflected in this territory.
As soon as Xu Yi's magic car arrived at the edge of the jungle, a group of fully armed Moon Shadow tribe elves rushed out of it.
Of course, they just came to welcome Xu Yi.
Although Elder Lisanya is very interested in driving the magic locomotive, due to the stubbornness of the elves, the territory of the Moon Shadow tribe still maintains the unique features of the elves.
The jungle is the most primitive environment, but there is no clear road connecting it, so Xu Yi can only abandon the magic car and walk in with the group of elves who greeted him.
As a result, it took him nearly an hour to finally meet the long-lost Elder Lisanya in the depths of the jungle.
"President Xu, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you have come here since we officially took over here, right?" Elder Lisanya asked with a smile.
"You remember correctly, it's indeed my first time here." Xu Yi nodded, but his eyes fell on Elder Alucia beside Elder Lisanya. "Elder Elucia, where is Agnes?" (To be continued...)
