Chapter 139: Mastering Core Technology
"When? Is it clear where the retracement went? Ding Lei asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Adonis replied, "I don't know, it's so far away that I can't even get in touch with Camilla." ”
"Where's the direction?"
"East."
Ding Lei closed his eyes and sensed the tracking beacon and skeleton ship he had left there.
The tracker couldn't sense it, but the skeleton ship had been absorbing magic from him, and although it wasn't clear where the coordinates were, the general direction was still known.
Fortunately, I kept a hand.
This made Ding Lei's originally hanging heart put down, turned his head to the owl next to him and said, "When will the battleship be completed?" ”
The owl looked down at the drawings and said, "In about 1 month, the underground water basin can not be accelerated like the Time Workshop. ”
Ding Lei nodded, the shipbuilding speed on the human side will take 3 months at the fastest to get a batch.
At this time, Camilla sent a message: "If Your Highness has time, you can go to Port Pitt to have a look, where a strange group of overseas merchants has just arrived. ”
Port Peter...... Originally, it was just a small fishing village, but Ding Lei made great efforts to make it a big port, but there were no foreign businessmen coming, which was a bit embarrassing.
Now it's hard to wait for a customer, this opportunity can't be missed, and they can go back to publicize.
Thinking of this, Ding Lei said hello to the owl, and then informed the Magister to open the door directly to Peter.
Ding Lei, who was dressed in black eagle armor, passed through the portal and came to the beach.
The salty and humid air, the endless blue sea, the crashing waves of the beach, and the white petrels fluttering back and forth between the reefs in the distance.
It's a good water port, so why doesn't anyone come?
Turn and walk towards the massive castle on the left.
Under the towering city walls, the gates were wide open, but there were not many pedestrians, and the guards guarding the city above sat and chatted together, not having time to pay attention to the situation below.
Ding Lei shook his head, entering the city, on the empty streets, pedestrians are also very scarce, and the most back and forth are the traders who come here from the mainland to buy, but even the number of buyers is too small.
Ding Lei took out the crystal and asked, "Camilla, where are those foreign businessmen?" ”
"Go forward and follow my lead."
After a while, I saw outsiders at a large pier.
Three huge wooden sailing ships like ingots were moored there, with no gun ports on their sides, and they were indeed merchant ships.
A large number of boxes were removed from the ship and stacked in one part of the harbor, most of which showed signs of dampness and mold.
There were a lot of vendors gathered nearby, but everyone looked at the strangely dressed people who got off the boat and talked about it.
They had stag horns, yellow lizard eyes, human-like appearance, yellowish skin, and a few other who looked like leaders wearing wide yellow robes, except for the sailors who were carrying them.
At this time, the men gathered, looked at each other and talked to each other.
Ding Lei squeezed through the crowd, walked forward, took off his helmet and asked, "Where did you get a few fights?" ”
Several people on the opposite side were slightly surprised, and one of them stepped forward and saluted: "We are merchants from the Chilian Continent, we encountered a storm on the way, and after dodging it, we touched a mine, and finally let us arrive here safely." ”
Mine?? md! The high seas were blocked by those bastards with mines, no wonder no one came!
"Ahem." Ding Lei looked at the damp boxes and said, "What are those?" ”
One of them took out a jar of porcelain-like and handed it over, and when he opened it, the fragrance was fragrant.
"Spices."
"And then there were crop seeds, truffles, silk, and some ale." Another next to him said, "It's just that some of them can't be used because of the dampness." ”
There are a lot of supplies, but the other party is not satisfied with the things that are traded here, and said that they can only exchange some gold coins and get some supplies to go back.
Ah, the first customer ran away like that? Does that mean that the same goes for the merchants who come in the future? That's not going to work!
At this time, the crowd of onlookers behind shouted loudly.
"Mr. Marshal, we can show them the Communication Crystal."
"Generalissimo?" The crowd behind suddenly exploded, and they all exclaimed: "It's our Black Eagle Marshal?!" I said, why is that armor so familiar! ”
With the popularization of communication crystals, Ding Lei launched a video crystal that can be projected virtually, and then according to this principle, human beings have made an image playback device similar to a TV, but it is also projected.
Coupled with media reports, everyone knew the image of Marshal Black Hawk.
After Ding Lei heard it, his heart lit up: That's right! Wasn't the original intention of the Eternal Kingdom to be founded on technology? It's blind to fiddle with supplies instead of selling technology.
When the video crystal was taken out and used in front of them, all the merchants on the other side were stunned, and finally stared at the image projected by the crystal and were speechless.
Crystal is divided into military and civilian, the difference is in the length of the distance and the clarity of the signal, and the military version of the information is not easy to intercept.
What they all have in common is that the core texture of the engraving is as complex as a high-end chip, and even if you take it and get it done as it is without complete design drawings, it will still explode when the magic power is finally generated.
Mastering core technology is orthodox.
"That...... Mr. Marshal, right? The merchant clutched his chest and suppressed his excitement and said, "How are you going to sell this thing?" ”
In terms of transactions, it has to be the people of the Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that Ding Lei didn't speak, the other said: "If we can, after we go back, we will immediately go up and organize a large-scale caravan to come over, is it okay?" ”
"No problem."
After that, let them wait here for a while.
Ding Lei called several giants in the chamber of commerce together, and after everyone discussed the price and supply, they sent away the first batch of guests.
The first technology deal after the founding of the People's Republic of China was reached. Although there are three port cities in the south that have been shipping, they are all crops, and they can only be made by quantity, and most importantly, the number of merchant groups coming and going there is gradually decreasing, and I heard that there is another continent that sells at a lower price than here.
Selling resources and crops is not a long-term solution.
"Technology products are always the most profitable, as long as you master the core technology and do not leak it, then your children and grandchildren will benefit a lot."
In the speech of the Chamber of Commerce, the Marshal of the Black Eagle of the Empire made the above speech, and everyone stood up excitedly and applauded thunderously.
From this moment on, the entire Eternal Island entered a frenzy of scientific and technological exploration and research and development, and the appearance of the first ironclad ship marked the official entry of naval shipbuilding technology into the era of magical ironclad.
Three months later, a diplomatic fleet of 10 magic-powered ironclad ships, carrying various communication crystals and other technological products, headed for the Chilian Continent to the east. (To be continued.) )
