Chapter 81: Elven Battleship Blueprints
Xu Yi squatted down and kept his gaze parallel to the little girl in front of him.
"Hey, Lumi, are you in a hurry?"
Lumi, a dwarf girl like a little human girl, pursed her lips slightly, looking cute.
"Of course I'm in a hurry! I wish I could find my people right now!"
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that even if you really sailed the ocean and discovered a new continent, you might not be able to find your own people, because the navigation skills of the Sainz Continent were so poor, and it was not clear that the dwarfs who fled from the Sainz Continent had all been buried in the endless sea.
Of course, it is impossible for Xu to say these words.
"Don't be in a hurry, because there is no hurry. Xu Yi shook his head. "Speaking of ocean voyages alone, do you think that with the current shipbuilding technology of our Chamber of Commerce, it will not be a problem to support a fleet to sail tens of thousands of kilometers continuously on the vast sea?"
Lumie fell silent for a moment, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head in frustration.
She has been working as an engineer in the shipyard since joining the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and knows even more about the ship technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than Xu Yi.
Of course, she understood that with the current shipbuilding technology of the New Flying Chamber, although it was enough to support a fleet for ocean voyages, and even for this kind of ultra-long-distance voyage like the exploration of the Maro Empire thousands of kilometers away, it was difficult to support a fleet to explore deep into the Endless Sea.
The difference is that the current ocean-going voyages are still inshore voyages, and the exploration of new continents is such a thing. But it will go very deep into the endless sea. Truly enter the vast expanse of the sea and explore.
The same is true of accidents. Offshore voyages can find ways to return to land for help, while ocean-going explorations may not be able to approach land at any time, and once an accident occurs, it will be the result of ship destruction and death.
This is also the main reason why Xu Yi dared to let Neval and others explore new 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 it's just to explore the New World, you don't necessarily have to use the magic ship to explore the ocean. There is another way to achieve this goal. ”
"Is there one?" said Lumi, looking at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Absolutely. Xu Yi stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky above his head. "Don't you think the sky is more reliable than the rough sea?"
Lumi was stunned: "Lord Grown, do you mean to use a magic airship to explore? But isn't the magic airship now only able to fly a thousand kilometers away? How can it be enough to fly to the New World?" ”
"That's just for now. Xu Yi said with a smile. "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 1,000 kilometers away, and the fastest speed even exceeds 120 kilometers per hour. If this trend continues, I think we will soon be able to break through to a level that is unimaginable. ”
"But it's impossible to let it fly more than 10,000 kilometers in one go......" Lumi was still a little unconvinced.
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that it was not impossible for a large passenger plane on the earth to fly 10,000 kilometers in one go.
And if it goes through the air refueling. The flight range will only be longer.
Of course, this requires that there is a base that can be replenished along the way.
Xu also looked at the deep sea in the distance. I thought that if we could build countless bases on the endless sea that could provide supplies like the one on Earth, then not to mention flying 10,000 kilometers away, and even theoretically covering every part of the planet.
In this regard, in fact, the new flying chamber of commerce has already begun to work on it.
Previously, because the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was blocked by the sea of Tongguò of the Kingdom of Sark, Xu Yi later strengthened his defense in this area and began to establish bases on various islands off the coast of the Principality of Stantin.
After several years of development, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now included the islands with a maximum distance of more than 500 kilometers outside the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into its own control range.
If the magic airship takes off from the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then within this 500 kilometers, any island with a base can be found to be replenished, which is equivalent to taking off again at full state.
And if this control range continues to extend to the Endless Sea, then according to the exploration of the nearby waters by the magic airship sent by Evita, it can be found that the Endless Sea, which is more than a thousand kilometers away from the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, is still full of large and small islands.
There are even human beings on some of the larger islands.
As long as you choose some islands, 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 a little bit like this, it is not impossible to cover the entire Endless Sea.
At that time, it will be easy to explore the New World or something.
"Lord, Lord, Lord, you mentioned the magic airship just now, and I suddenly remembered something. Rumie suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Xu Yi's imagination.
"Huh, what's the matter?"
"Actually, I have a blueprint about the design of the magic warship designed by our people for the elven clan back then, and I forgot it in the Aishara tribe, if you are interested, let me go back and bring it. I think Dean Evita will be helpful in her magical airship research after reading this drawing. Rumie said.
Looking at Lumi's expectant look, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but laugh.
Although this Lumi looks not much different from a human little girl, she is actually a dwarf who has lived for hundreds of years, and is not a real little girl who is not afraid of the world.
She had never mentioned that she had the blueprints of the magic warship in her hands before, but now she took the initiative to bring it up, probably because she told her that she could also explore the new world with the magic airship, and she felt that she saw the hope of finding her clansman, so she decided to do so.
Otherwise, she would probably keep it hidden.
"How many things is hidden in this Lumi?" Xu Yi couldn't help but think.
However, after thinking about it, Xu Yi felt that it didn't seem to be very important.
If he was very interested in the legendary elven clan's invincible magic warship before, then now with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's research on magic machinery, he no longer feels anything to be in awe of the so-called magic machinery on the Sainz continent that has been spent for thousands of years.
The magic warships designed by the gnomes for the elves are known to be invincible, but they are extremely expensive to build and extremely poorly practical.
And according to legend, the main role of this magic battleship is reflected in the extremely powerful attack power.
If Xu Yi guessed correctly, it should be that the magic battleship was attached to an unusually powerful offensive magic, and then relied on the powerful magic power of the elves to exert an incomparably strong and almost invincible power.
This is completely different from the design direction that Xu Yi formulated for magic airships and even military magic machines, and there is not much reference value.
Of course, he didn't refuse, but nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can have the legendary magic battleship as a reference, Evita will definitely get a lot of inspiration." ”
Even if it doesn't match the research direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi still believes that this thing can be of some use, not to mention that Lumi took the initiative to mention it, and it was not good to brush off her kindness.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't seem to be particularly positive, Lumi was a little disappointed, oh, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
After chatting with Lumi for a few more words, Lumi and the other people who had come to see off Neval's ocean-going fleet returned to the Duchy of Stantin on a magic airship, but Xu Yi drove his magic car and left the port of Heimi, all the way east into the Black Rice Wasteland, and then turned north to reach the border of the Black Rice Wasteland.
When a wisp of vivid greenery appeared in the distance, Xu also knew that his destination was about to arrive.
Ahead is a territory that the Moon Shadow Clan asked for from the Kingdom of Sark.
This territory is adjacent to the Endless Sea to the west, and it is difficult to connect to the Black Rice Wasteland, which is equivalent to digging out a piece in the southwest corner of the Sark Kingdom, lying between the Sark Kingdom and the Black Rice Wasteland, making it difficult for the Sark Kingdom to easily invade the Black Rice Wasteland, and then pose a threat to the Black Rice Wasteland and the Duchy of Stantin in the south.
Two years ago, when the Kingdom of Sark handed over this territory to the Moon Shadow Clan, it was as desolate as the Black Rice Wasteland, but now two years later, it has become a green and vibrant jungle.
There is an ancient saying on the continent of Sainz, which is 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 heavily armed Moon Shadow tribal elves rushed out of it.
Of course, they were just here to greet Xu Yi.
Although Elder Lisanya is very interested in driving a magical locomotive, due to the stubbornness of the elves, the territory of the Lunaris tribe still maintains the unique appearance of the elves.
The jungle was the most primitive situation, but there was no clear road to connect him, so Xu Yi could only abandon the magic car and follow the elves who greeted him.
It took him nearly an hour before he finally saw Elder Lisanya again, who he hadn't seen for a long time, in the depths of this jungle.
"President Xu, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time you've been here since we officially took over here, right?" Elder Lisanya asked with a smile.
"You remember correctly, it's my first time. Xu Yi nodded, but his gaze fell on Elder Elucia beside Elder Lisanya. "Elder Elucia, where's Arnice?" (To be continued......)
