Chapter 144 Maintenance Issues

The waves rolled and slammed into the Jasmine frigate and swayed gently on the sea.

Leslie stood steady on the deck, her body unmoving.

Now he is no longer the first time he boarded the sea ship and vomited all over the ground not long after, nearly two years of sea journey, so that he has long been fully adapted to life at sea, and even deeply in love with this life.

If he returned to Anweimar City now, I am afraid that the noble ladies and ladies who would always scream because of his presence in the past would not strictly recognize him.

Of course, the aristocratic ladies and ladies screamed for him before, more or less because of his status as the heir of the Stark family.

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

However, Leslie didn't think there was anything to be sorry for this kind of thing, the life of a noble son had long been tired of him, and now he went to live at sea, but he sought the thrill he had never imagined, and he became more and more inseparable from this life.

"My lord, I've received a message from the Elder Adult!"

The adjutant on the frigate suddenly ran over with a second-generation magic phone box with an ugly black appearance.

"Oh, so they're not far from here. Leslie took the magic call box and shouted loudly, "Hey, Xu Yi, where have you been?"

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

"I'm asking you where you are. Do you want us to meet you?"

"We should be in your northwest direction. It's not used to greet us. Let's go straight to Yarra Harbor and we'll meet outside the port. ”

"Good. ”

Leslie turned to the adjutant and ordered, "Pass the order down and march towards Yarra Harbor en masse." ”

The adjutant departed.

After a while, seeing the other frigates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet surrounding the vicinity all turning in the direction of Yarra Harbor, Leslie sighed at the magic call box: "Xu Yi, I have to say that this mobile magic signal tower is really easy to use. With this thing, it has become much easier to command your subordinates, and you no longer need to be a little farther away than before. ”

"It's not as good as you think. Its effective distance is currently less than four kilometers. Beyond four kilometers you won't be able to get in touch. But if the test on your Jasmine is okay after a while, I'll install the same mana beacon tower on every other frigate. In this way, if you are properly trained, you will be able to spread out all these frigates, and theoretically only twenty frigates will cover an area of more than a hundred square kilometers on the sea surface. ”

"Yes, that's great. In this endless sea, the most troublesome thing is the problem of communication. It's okay to say that near the islands where we set up our bases, once it's far away, but there's really no way to do it. Leslie paused, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, Xu Yi." Have you ever thought about this aspect this time? If we could cover the entire sea area with the communication network you mentioned, it would be much easier for us to control it. ”

Xu Yi chuckled from the magic phone box: "Don't worry." I've been preparing for a long time. ”

"That's good. ”

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

At this moment, in the high air in front of the left, two "dark clouds" had also flown over at an abnormal high speed, and soon stopped above the head of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet.

Leslie glanced up, connecting to the magic phone box in her hand again.

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

"No, just fly over. ”

Leslie looked up at the two magic airships flying steadily in the air, and a strange smile crossed her lips.

"Hey, is this a demonstration?"

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

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

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

Akali frowned and thought for a while, spread her hands, and sighed, "I can't come up with a detailed conclusion for the time being." However, based on the past situation, it is speculated that there should be some nearby magic source emitting powerful magic fluctuations, affecting the magic signal fluctuations from the magic signal tower and the magic array in the magic call box. It is also possible that the environment of the frigate is changing rapidly at high speed, and the guide signal is unstable. ”

"Possibly. But when it comes to the effects of environmental change, the environment on land is clearly much more complex than the environment on the sea. Since you can handle it on land, I'm sure there should be no problem on the sea. ”

Akali raised her head, shook off her beautiful shoulder-length short hair, and said with a smug expression: "Of course, don't look at who I am." ”

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

This time, there was no Evita in the cockpit of the magic airship, because she was still in the main base and Kennard to prepare for the sale of military magic machinery to the Kingdom of Sark, so she only sent her research team in charge of the research of the magic airship.

Xu Yi briefly asked them about the navigation of the newly built magic airship that followed behind, 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 could already be seen in the distance, the actual distance was extremely far, and the two magic airships were sailing at a speed of forty kilometers per hour with the ten frigates sent by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet this time, but it took more than half an hour to actually reach the land.

Seeing the flag of the Candela Empire and the flag of the Candela Empire Navy fluttering in the wind on the port of Yarra in the distance, Xu also ordered the two magic airships to prepare to start landing.

When the ten frigates sailed into the port dock of Yarra Harbor with ease, two magic airships also slowly landed in the open space of Yarra Harbor.

The hatch opened, and as soon as Xu Yigang walked out, he saw Russell leading a group of people over.

Although he has a rather warm smile on his face, if you pay attention to it, you will find that Russell's eyes are slightly narrowed, and the meaning revealed in his eyes seems to be completely opposite to the expression on his face.

"Welcome, President Xu. Russell walked over and greeted Xu Yi, although his tone was not cold, but he was not enthusiastic at all.

Xu Yi naturally knew very well why Russell had such an attitude, so he didn't mind at all, but instead took the initiative to take Russell's hand very enthusiastically and shook it, and said with a smile: "Lord Russell, it really makes me very happy to be able to meet you in the Candela Empire. ”

Russell's face, which was already a little reluctant, stiffened slightly, and he let go of Xu Yi's hand without a trace and made an inviting gesture.

"President Xu, please sit inside. ”

"Good. ”

Xu Yi smiled and led Russell side by side to Yarra Harbor, his eyes swept over, landed on the Yarra Harbor dock, pointed to a white frigate produced by the Candela Imperial Navy flag in the distance and asked, "Lord Russell, this frigate has been serving under your navy during this time, I don't know if you are satisfied with it?"

Hearing this question, Russell and the officers of the Candela Imperial Navy who were following behind the two of them changed their faces in unison.

Russell turned his head and glanced at Xu Yi deeply, and nodded slowly: "President Xu, did you do it on purpose?"

"Deliberately, what deliberately?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

Russell snorted heavily: "Chairman Xu, do you deliberately accuse us of deliberately accusing us of inviting you over this time to discuss the follow-up maintenance of the frigate?"

Although the New Flying Chamber of Commerce signed an agreement with the Candela Imperial Navy to sell them three frigates, these three search frigates will be built by next year at the latest.

However, Russell was eager to prove to the Imperial Navy and the Ministry of War that he was right about insisting on buying frigates, so after consulting with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he decided to transfer a frigate from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to the Imperial Navy of Candela for use, which was the one in front of him.

After entering service with the Imperial Candela Navy, the frigate had been doing well for the first few months, but it suddenly became unable to start last month.

The Candela Imperial Navy was unable to solve the problem, so it had to turn to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sent someone to solve it, it didn't take long for a similar problem to arise.

This time, after the overhaul, the magic steamer engineer sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce unceremoniously pointed out directly to the Candela Imperial Navy that they usually did not maintain this frigate in place, which led to frequent problems with this frigate.

In desperation, the Imperial Navy of Candela could only invite the new flying chamber of commerce to negotiate and solve the follow-up maintenance of the frigates, so as to avoid similar problems after the other two frigates were also delivered.

Xu Yi waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I didn't mean that at all." Lord Russell, I'm just asking you if you are satisfied with the performance of this frigate during this time, and is there anything that makes you feel that it is not good enough? This is just a normal request for after-sales opinions, don't get me wrong. ”

Hearing this explanation, Russell and the officers of the Candela Imperial Navy behind him softened slightly, Russell turned around and pointed to a young officer who looked less than forty years old and said, "This frigate of the Morning Light has been serving under the command of Lieutenant Commander Newn during this time, Lieutenant Commander Newne, you can tell Chairman Xu in detail about your thoughts on using the Morning Light frigate during this time."
