Chapter 68: The Rise of the Journey
"So we have to develop our own science and technology and build our own science and technology team!"
Yi Xiaoge's spirit is shocked, science and technology team! It was the first time he had heard someone put forward the idea that technology is the driving force of social progress, and everyone knew it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But technology needs talent, and people like Bug are probably very hard to find.
"I can probably understand what you said, but how easy is it, where do we go to find these excellent talents?"
Bug drank the last drop of coffee and said, "It is very difficult for us to make a breakthrough if we are developing slowly and step by step according to the experience of our predecessors. And where in the world is there the most talent?"
"Heart of the World!" Yi Xiaoge said without hesitation.
"Yes!"
Bug stood up and said, "We need to recruit scientific and technological talents from all kinds of disciplines there to serve us, so that we can be one step ahead of others everywhere!"
"But we can't go to the Heart of the World at all now, and the teleportation array hasn't been opened yet!"
"That's why we have to reach the heart of the world before everyone else, and get ahead of everyone to meet the elites who are willing to dedicate themselves to the cause of science and technology! Today I've already discussed with Riel that we'll take a pirate ship all the way to the heart of the world through his connection. The pirates are very close-knit, and with Rare's connection, we can constantly change ships to reach our destination for a small amount of money. The pirates are familiar with the climate and situation of the various seas, and I think we will be able to enter the heart of the world safely. You just need to have enough start-up capital ready and you're good to go!"
"You're going too?" Yi Xiaoge inexplicably felt a little empty in his heart.
"I think with my identity and the relationship between my mentor may be able to attract some talents, but the most important thing is to have strong financial strength, so we must prepare at least 200,000 gold coins."
"How long will it take to get back on this trip?"
"At least one year...... It is impossible to say what is going on at sea. ”
One year ...... Yi Xiaoge remembered that Hua Qianye's three transportation personnel were all raised through Yan Wushuang, the nearest head of the Southeast District Chamber of Commerce, which was still two or three natural days away from here, and the year that Buge said was close to a month and a half.
Yi Xiaoge was very entangled in his heart, he wanted to get more outstanding talents, but he was afraid that Bugg would make a mistake. At this time, he hoped to develop quickly and shorten the sailing time.
"In that case, it's decided. The construction of the city walls will be suspended from tomorrow to raise funds for the actions of the two of you. ”
"You're not afraid that Riel and I will swallow your funds and run away?"
"In my eyes, you and Riel are priceless, what is the use of asking for those 200,000 gold coins without you?"
Bug looked at Yi Xiaoge deeply, after a few months of getting along, this young man did not drive himself at will because he was the lord of an island. On the contrary, they eat and live together with respect, which is not seen anywhere else. His greed but not greed, hard work, and ability to judge the situation have an advantage over many people. The reason why Riel stayed on the island was precisely because he took a fancy to this young man's extraordinary ideas, and he wanted to use Yi Xiaoge to return to the heart of the world and find his innocence. This is also the reason why he is willing to take the risk and return to the heart of the world to help Yi Xiaoge.
Each NPC will follow its own life trajectory with external factors, so in a sense, in addition to communicating with players, players in Super Island must also have a deeper understanding of these flesh-and-blood NPCs.
Now that the itinerary has been decided, the construction of the city wall has been temporarily halted for five kilometers, and the money saved will not be squandered. Yi Xiaoge invested 20,000 gold coins to quickly produce a thousand flintlock pistols and began to equip the guards, and Bug, who was free, had to teach them the skillful shooting essentials of flintlock pistols and the training of gunners of fifty royal cannons on the city wall.
Yi Xiaoge watched the "grenade" designed by Uncle Blacksmith in the blacksmith shop designed by him and Bug himself, since the last attack to defend against Yang Ting inadvertently used cannonballs to delay the attack on the enemy, Yi Xiaoge has not forgotten this matter, and he and Bugg carefully studied for a natural week, and today he produced a throwing bomb invented by Yi Xiaoge imitating a wooden-handled grenade.
A pig iron pipe with a diameter of 5 centimeters and a length of 8 centimeters is used to insert steel balls and black powder, and then a fuse is threaded with a hollow wooden handle. This kind of bomb can only be used after an open flame is lit, but it is much easier than simply throwing shells.
The production of this thing is only about 20 pieces a game day, and there are too few blacksmiths to keep up.
On the weekend, the World Business Alliance auction was held as scheduled, Yi Xiaoge did not participate, and the three drawings of the construction of the Flute sailboat at the auction were auctioned for 50,000 gold coins, and the most heavenly strong re-entry. The remaining two intermediate shipbuilders were auctioned for two thousand gold coins and two thousand five hundred gold coins respectively, and Yi Xiaoge seemed to feel a slight panic from this.
A reality week passed quietly, Yi Xiaoge handed over 200,000 gold coins to Bug and Riel, Yi Xiaoge was full of expectations and uneasiness for this trip to the heart of the world, he looked at the two who had changed into new clothes, and his heart was very reluctant.
"Bougrell, this time I want you to be careful when you go to the world, there is no island waiting for your return!"
"Mr. Yi, rest assured, when we successfully return, it will be the time when there is no island to embark on the road of prosperity and technology!"
On the sea, a huge pirate ship of more than 50 meters slowly approached, and a small boat came slowly. The pirate ship's red flag was emblazoned with black and gold skulls, and the hull was covered in bruises, with signs of cannonballs everywhere. A total of forty guns on both sides of the ship exuded a terrifying atmosphere......
In fact, Yi Xiaoge has always guessed that there may be many anomalies on the island, just like this weather that is always sunny and warm like spring. Even the Cape of the Sea is about to enter winter, and it is still like this, as if it is cursed. As for the pirate robbery, it never happened, the pirate ship was contacted by Riel and Romon fifty nautical miles out to sea, and after paying three thousand gold coins, the pirates promised to take them to the next supply point.
Burg and Riel got into the boat and slowly headed towards the big ship, where the morning sun was rising. Yi Xiaoge's mood at the moment is difficult to calm down, the ancients once had a poem about the White Emperor Caiyun, and a poem about a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day to describe such a situation. But it's just a river, it's a vast sea, and the back and forth is not a day, but a year......
"I'm waiting for you to come back! I believe that when you come back, the island will be full of new vitality! ”
