Today is a sunny day.

In early summer, the sea breeze is warm but not hot, blowing from the sea, and engulfing the seashore with a moist and gentle atmosphere, which almost makes people lie down and fall asleep.

Xu Yi shook his head vigorously and shook off the trace of sleepiness.

Today is the day when the first ocean-going fleet formed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce officially launched the sea and began its voyage, and this departure ceremony is of great significance and cannot be missed.

"Lord Grown, are you alright?" Neval on the side saw Xu Yi's movements and asked with some concern.

"It's fine. Xu Yi took a breath, but the entrance was a slightly seay air.

Although I felt a little nauseous, my spirit was better.

Turning his head to look at Neval, whose skin on his body and face was all tanned, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.

Neval, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the first ocean-going fleet, was so excited that he spent almost every day these days on the Wings Spreading and the two large magic steamers "Sunrise" and "Victory Goddess Elis", which were newly built this year, and turned himself into black coal.

"Are you ready?" asked Xu Yixiao.

"Well, it's all set!" Neval nodded vigorously. "Ready to go!"

"Well, the ceremony can begin in earnest. ”

Xu Yi nodded and walked onto the high platform that had been laid on the beach a long time ago.

Because of this ceremony, a large number of people gathered on the beach early, most of them were employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the rest were residents who came to watch the excitement around them, and mixed with all kinds of people who came from other countries after receiving the news.

As for the stage, there was also an envoy sent by the Ruerson Kingdom. It's Newman.

Because the new flyer will be the destination of the first voyage of this ocean-going fleet. It is the largest seaport city in the south of the Ruerson Kingdom, Nissi.

On three large magic steamers. Loaded with a large number of magical machines shipped to the Kingdom of Ruersun.

Although the voyage was expected to take half a month, much slower than the less than two days of land transportation from the Skus Highway, the total load of the three large magic ships reached a staggering 15,000 tons!

At present, the loading capacity of the large cargo magic locomotive with the largest loading capacity designed by the new flying chamber is only 20 tons, and these three magic ships sail once, which is enough to use the large cargo magic locomotive to transport as many as 750 times, but it is much more efficient.

Moreover, because the magic ship takes the sea, it also has a great advantage in terms of energy consumption on the road compared with the use of large freight magic locomotives.

This time the voyage. Even if it was a round trip, according to the calculations made by the Magic Research Institute, the high-concentration standard magic crystals that needed to be spent should only be about 100 tons, and the total price would not exceed 20,000 gold coins.

And with a large freight mana locomotive, even if you take the most convenient Silu Highway, the high-concentration standard mana crystals consumed back and forth are worth about fifty gold coins.

Seven hundred and fifty times, this consumption will be as high as 37,500 gold coins, which is almost twice as much as the sea freight.

What's more, it takes a lot of trips to transport 15,000 tons of cargo by land. The traffic pressure on the Silu Highway is obviously enormous.

Of course, land transportation has a shorter time. It is not limited by ports, but it cannot be said that it is completely overwhelmed by shipping.

Xu Yi stepped onto the platform, exchanged a smile with Newman, and then announced the start of the ceremony.

The launching ceremony of this fleet was just an ordinary process, Xu Yi introduced the composition and role of this fleet, and explained to everyone the powerful significance of this fleet, and then Newman on behalf of the Kingdom of Ruerson expressed the importance and welcome of the Kingdom of Ruerson to the sea navigation routes of this fleet.

Later, Neval took the stage to give a speech on behalf of the newly formed fleet, expressing his excitement and impassionedly indicating to everyone that he would do his best to lead the fleet and work hard for the new flying company to open up sea routes.

After thunderous applause, Xu Yi took the stage again and announced that the fleet had officially launched into the sea.

All eyes turned to the new flying port by the sea.

The Spreading Wings, the Rising Sun, and the Goddess of Victory, Elis, had stopped at the port dock early and had all the preparations ready.

Neval took over the scepter representing command from Xu Yi, boarded a newly developed open-top magic car from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, stopped his chest, and drove majestically to the docks.

As soon as he boarded the Wings, countless brilliant fireworks exploded on the beach at the same time, accompanied by countless brilliant colors with magical effects, reflecting the entire beach in a dazzling light.

Then the three huge magic ships let out a loud roar at the same time, but it was the large magic cannon loaded on the three ships that released a cannonball as a response.

A moment later, the massive hull of the Spreading Wings shook and began to slowly leave the dock.

After the Spreading Wings had completely left the dock, the Chaoyang and the Goddess of Victory, Elis, followed one after the other.

The speed of the three magic steamers was slow at first, but when they were far from the shoreline, they gradually increased their speed, and it didn't take long for them to become three black dots on the sea, and then disappeared into the vast sea.

Xu Yi withdrew his gaze from the deep sea and exhaled softly.

"Are you worried?" asked Newman with a smile.

"It's definitely false to say that you're not worried. Xu Yi smiled. "After all, this is our chamber of commerce's first ocean-going fleet, and this first voyage will be more than two thousand kilometers, so it is not surprising that there will be any accidents on the way. ”

"Don't be afraid of accidents. Newman, on the other hand, looked very confident. "These three ships are much stronger than any wooden sea ship. In the past, even such a small wooden ship could sail from here in the Duchy of Stantin to the waters of our Ruerson Kingdom, how could these three ships not work?"

Xu Yi shook his head lightly: "The accident at sea is too unpredictable, although we have made sufficient preparations before, but I am always worried that there will be unforeseen accidents." ”

"That's not something we can handle, is it?" said Newman. "Anyway, the preparation has been done enough, and the rest will be left to them. ”

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, this is my gain and loss." I should have faith in them. ”

"That's right. Newman smiled and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder.

Xu Yi also smiled, thinking that in fact, the reason why he was more worried than Newman was entirely because these three magic steamers might be considered super first-class powerful sea ships on the Sainz continent, but they were not enough to see on the earth.

Those seagoing ships on the earth equipped with high-tech tools and even GPS satellites to assist in positioning are likely to have accidents at sea, and the possibility of accidents on these magic ships that are not known how much is naturally greatly increased.

Of course, this is also because Xu Yi and Newman look at the problem from different angles.

From Newman's point of view, these three magic steamers were undoubtedly much stronger than the simple wooden sea ships, and it was impossible for them to have an accident.

"By the way, speaking of accidents at sea...... In fact, there are many pirates between the Duchy of Stantin and the waters of our Ruerson Kingdom......" Halfway through speaking, Newman suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile and shook his head. "Well, my worries are even more unnecessary. If I'm not mistaken, you must have a lot of military magic machinery on those three ships, right?"

Xu Yi laughed and did not answer.

Newman immediately smiled knowingly, but didn't ask any more.

The three magic ships disappeared into the depths of the ocean, and the ritual was naturally over.

Hsu also invited Newman to his estate.

This time, Newman came here on a special trip, of course, not just to participate in this ceremony.

He also brought the will of His Majesty King Trutz.

"President Xu, His Majesty the King really wants to continue to deepen the connection between our Ruerson Kingdom and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so I hope that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can strengthen its investment in our Kingdom. According to statistics, now your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested in the construction of thirty-seven household magic machinery factories in our Ruerson Kingdom, which is not a lot. But compared to the one hundred and forty-three magical machinery factories of all kinds that you have built in joint ventures with the Lampari Kingdom, it is far from that. Newman said.

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "This can't be compared." The Lampari Kingdom is the place where our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was established, and our Chamber of Commerce has the deepest roots in the Lampari Kingdom, so it is natural that the most factories will be established in the Lampari Kingdom. ”

Newman nodded: "Well, His Majesty the King can understand this, but His Majesty thinks that since our kingdom's support for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is even greater than that of the Lampari Kingdom, then President Xu, why can't you consider increasing investment in our Lampari Kingdom......? Last year, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce paid more than one million gold coins in taxes in our kingdom alone, so I don't need to talk about the profits......

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I know that His Majesty King Trutz has given us a strong support, and I am very grateful to him. As for strengthening the investment in your Ruerson Kingdom, I have also been planning in this area. According to the plan, in the second half of this year, we hope to increase the investment of more than two million gold coins in your Ruhr Kingdom, and we have already reached cooperation agreements with twenty-six chambers of commerce in your kingdom......"

"It's not enough. Newman suddenly interrupted Xu Yi's words, staring at Xu Yi with blazing eyes: "President Xu, in fact, you should understand what I mean." The cooperation that His Majesty the King spoke of was more important than the cooperation in the field of domestic magic machinery...... Actually, it's the military magic mechanical aspect.
