Eriksson made a pause gesture to the butler and the apprentice, and he had already seen that the rest of the family was ready to move.

If you continue to let it go, it is estimated that it will not be able to clean it up later.

He rolled over and climbed onto the mast and shouted loudly downward, "We did use sonar to find the reef, entered the Devil's Sea, and crossed over to the island on the other side of the Devil's Sea. But as you can see, our ship was attacked by sea beasts, and on the way back we sank a ship. But it's all worth it, and we've made key information about the new fairway. ”

"Really, where, how to get there, tell me and listen. ”

"And what is sonar?"

......

As soon as he said this, the crowd that had been listening to him quietly boiled again.

Eriksson didn't care about his subordinates, and said to himself: "This new route is not capable of being developed by our small fleet, so we will sell the information about this route, and everyone has the opportunity." ”

The sailors below began to get excited, everyone had a chance, just like the fable, everyone would think that they would be the lucky ones, but in fact, even if they reached the new channel, only a small number of them would be able to really profit from it.

They may be able to save time and transportation costs by using the new waterway once it is opened, but it will only be the legendary bigwigs who will be able to participate in the operation of the waterway.

The butler and the apprentice both frowned, they also knew that it would be difficult to monopolize the profits of the new channel, but they didn't expect the other party to give such a plan.

Especially on the part of the City Lord's Mansion, they didn't think much about whether the new channel was urgent or not, and they didn't care if the news was accurate, so they sent their housekeeper over this morning, and most of the rest of them just sent people over to inquire about the news.

Now hearing the news that Eriksson wanted to announce the new fairway, the butler couldn't help but be a little worried, afraid that the City Lord's Mansion would lose its first hand.

"Of course, we won't announce the news directly, we have suffered a lot of losses this time, and we have lost a boat, so we will have an auction this time, a secret auction, and the person who wins the auction will be able to monopolize the news, but the time is only three months, and after three months, just pay the money, you can get the news of the new channel from our side, and after a year, we will announce the news of the new channel in full." Give everyone a chance to explore new waterways. ”

After announcing the news, Erikson hurriedly left with his crew, leaving only a large number of melon-eating people who were still in shock.

The steward of the City Lord's Mansion did not stop Erikson this time, but hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion and reported the news to the City Lord.

I have to say that the time node of Eriksson is very good this time, and the first person to get the route map can achieve a great advantage, but the sea route has its own rules, and it can only go back and forth in three months.

There are advantages, but they are so big as they imagined, and they are unwilling to give up. If you don't build up enough of the advantage the first time, it's likely that you'll be on the same starting line as the rest of the pack after the time has passed.

Even if it is a year, the opening of the new route will probably not end, and if it is really opened up at that time, a large number of people will be involved, and probably some leftovers will be shared.

......

"City Lord, it seems that Eriksson has really passed through the Devil's Sea this time, but if he does this, do we still have to compete for the first chance. How did he come up with such a solution?"

In the city lord's mansion, the housekeeper reported the whole story of this incident to the city lord.

"If it weren't for the Skoll Chamber of Commerce's intervention, they would definitely not be so passive this time, Eriksson and they would have been brought back to the City Lord's Mansion by me a long time ago. ”

"It can't be that simple. The city lord sat behind his desk, his figure looked pretty good, but he was a little fat, "Why did they suddenly go to explore the Devil's Sea this time? The idea of exploring a new channel from the Devil's Sea has been around for a long time, but no one can avoid the complex underwater environment there, why can they do it this time? There must be someone behind them." ”

The housekeeper thought for a moment and whispered, "It seems, what sonar has to do with it?"

......

Valoka Chamber of Commerce.

The captain reported to the branch president in front of him: "President, Eriksson has announced the plan according to our agreement, and he is still trustworthy. And he mentioned sonar, is it possible that someone else can buy it and go directly to explore the new route, so there is no need for Eriksson and their route?"

The chairman stood by the window and shook his head: "No, the devil's sea area is not only because of the reef undercurrent, but also because of many powerful sea beasts, it is said that someone has seen a sea dragon, even if these are detected by sonar, they can't escape." At best, sonar avoids the effects of the reef slightly, making it possible to explore a new shipping route.

"If you want the new route to be truly navigable, it is impossible not to sink dozens of ships. ”

This time, Eriksson went to explore a new route, which was supported by the people of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, or more precisely, by the Elmod Branch.

Jia Yi once described the application of sonar, and felt that in the maritime aspect, sonar is the most widely used, because sonar travels faster underwater, and there are not many underwater exploration methods, and the restrictions are large.

But more than a year has passed, although sonar has been accepted by many merchant ships, but it has not detonated the entire market, and those who are willing to install it are people from some large chambers of commerce, and most of them are still installed on only one ship in a fleet.

Although there is already a part of the market for sonar, the Elmod chapter is not satisfied, and is still racking its brains to expand the market for sonar. Eventually, they focused on the Devil's Sea and the opening of new shipping routes.

For every sailor, the new route means a golden avenue, and no sailor can refuse.

In order for Erikson to succeed, the Chamber of Commerce even paid a lot of money to hire a senior gray-robed mage to follow the escort, although the ship has not changed, but all the materials and equipment inside have been reloaded. The Chamber of Commerce did not even ask for the naming rights, and gave all the credit for this discovery to Eriksson, but only demanded that the information must be published in stages according to the requirements of the Chamber of Commerce.

Without the support of the Valoka Chapter, it would have been difficult for Eriksson to pass through the Devil's Sea.

......

Academy.

Jiayi carefully arranged the machine in front of him, which is according to the requirements of March, the newly modified cutting machine and pulp machine, specially used to cut large raw materials and prepare pulp, the pulp machine is specially for the bleached fibers to beat, scoop, break the fiber shell, refine the fiber, and finally make pulp.

When there were no such machines, March directly brought in a group of guards as coolies, and directly used stone hammers to pound them.

However, the guards are not coolies after all, and temporary emergencies are okay, but if you want to do this for a long time, it will not work.

In addition to the machines for March, samples of gears, screws, and spring lathes for the Chamber of Commerce have also been produced, but if they are built by hand, it will take time to make a batch of lathes for the Chamber of Commerce.

Although Jia Yi didn't like outsourcing in his previous life, but now he misses outsourcing and OEM very much, and if he only relies on himself, he probably won't have to do anything else.
