Vol 4 Chapter 69: Ocean dream

Many people are quite puzzled by Leslie's decision on his future arrangements. Xu is also very surprised. "
Because Leslie actually wants to ride on the endless sea, the dream is to become the hegemon of the sea!
When he heard that Leslie had said this idea, Xu almost directly rebuked him for being whimsical.
Maritime overlord?
Even the sea can not touch, but also talk about what hegemon!
Due to the limitations of the craft, this world cannot produce large enough ships that are large enough to carry out ocean navigation.
In the history of the Cairns continent, only the Candela Empire once tried, built twenty huge wooden sea boats, and built a fleet to sail in the ocean, claiming to explore the legendary endless Deep in the sea, another continent far away.
However, the fleet was only less than three days before the sea, and it was a storm. As a result, all the 20 wooden ships were crushed by the storm. Most of the explorers on board were killed and less than ten people. Fortunately, I survived.
Since then, people on the mainland of Sainz have cut off the idea of ​​sailing in the ocean, and even listed the endless sea as a restricted area.
In addition to people living on the beach, they can look for opportunities to fish in the offshore. At other times, no one else dares to step into the depths of the endless sea, even if it is half a step.
Now Leslie actually claims to be the hegemon of the sea...just rule the offshore part, it has nothing to do with the strength of the sea, the decisive factor is the strength on the coastline.
"Xu Yi, you are all old ideas on the mainland of Sainz. Now it is out of date." Leslie looked at Xu Yi inexplicably. "It's weird. This magic ship is obviously a concept that you personally proposed and participated in the research and development. Now it tells me that ocean sailing is a luxury? You are so unconfident about what you designed?"
"It is precisely because this thing was designed by myself, so I know his limitations better than anyone." Xu Yizheng said.
Although I can say with certainty that this magical ship is far superior to wooden ships in its ability to withstand storms, it is much better in terms of safety in ocean navigation, but it is only to improve safety from zero. It’s just that, there’s no exaggerated promotion, and there’s no guarantee that you will survive at sea.

"As you said, isn't this thing better than the wooden boats? Then what do you do to make him so hard?" Leslie frowned. The look is a bit disappointing. "I thought that with this stuff, I could complete my dream of sailing the whole endless sea from an early age."
"I will guarantee that you will realize this dream, but not now." Xu also shook his head and said, "I will give you a more practical suggestion. Let’s make the goal a bit realistic. Don’t expect to sail as far as you can. The place. Ocean sailing is a thing that requires a lot of experience. You should go ahead and explore it a little bit."
Leslie retorted Xu Yi's eyes: "Do you think that I am an idiot? Of course I will not go to the depths of the endless sea as I went to the undones of the former Candela empire. My original intention was to think. Use the magic ship you developed to explore the depths of the endless sea. Do you think I will plunge in like a fool?"
Xu couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Engaged for a long time. He is worried about it.
"Well, then, what do you plan to do?" Xu also asked: "This medium-sized magic freighter will be priced at a price of 800,000 gold coins. I don't think you have so much now. Money comes."
"800,000 gold coins?" Lesley was taken aback.
So expensive?

"Of course." Xu also proudly said. "The medium-sized magic freighter has a lineup of 5,000 tons and can carry more than 3,000 tons of cargo. That is to say, if it is full of goods, it can be transported hundreds of times on land. Do you think it is expensive? I still find it very cheap."

Can I load 3,000 tons of cargo at a time?
Leslie glanced at the far-off ceremony that had already been held in the distance. The medium-sized magic freighter, which was slowly sailing along the coastline in the blue water of the endless sea, nodded:
If yes In this case, it does have so much money. But Xu also, I think the estimate I started is wrong. In fact, what I need most now is not this kind of cargo magic ship, but similar to those of small magic assault boats. Load the soldiers' battles with magic ships."
"War with the magic ship?" Xu also brows slightly wrinkled, looked at Lesley strangely. "Why? Do you want to run as a pirate?"
Leslie haha ​​smiled and didn't answer.
I glanced at the slightly strange smile on his face. Xu did not ask too much. After thinking about it, he nodded. "This is actually simple. Just do some necessary modifications and install some weapons on it." And defense facilities can meet the requirements."
"Well, I need some gears that are slightly smaller than these medium-sized magic ships. They come with magical mechanical weapons, such as small magic trebuchets. The best speed can be faster than now. How? Xu Yi? Can you do it?"
Xu also spread his hand: "You can do it, but with the current production capacity of our chamber of commerce, you may not be able to complete one ship for half a year. If you are anxious to do so, it will definitely not work. And if you order it according to your requirements. Although the cost is much lower than that of the medium-sized magic freighter, I am afraid it will not be less than 400,000 gold coins. Are you sure?"
"OK." Lesley nodded nodly, and then found a gold ticket from his arms in the hands of Xu Yi. "This is the first order, I hope you can deliver it as soon as possible."
Xu also glanced at it and found that the amount of the gold ticket issued by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce was 50,000 gold coins, which was just right for the deposit of a small magic warship with a price of around 10,000 gold coins.
However, Xu still does not understand what Lesley intends to do.
Large ships can be bought not only, but also the maintenance costs can not be ignored, if you can not get enough benefits. It is not necessarily a good thing to have these things.
Xu also made great efforts to develop the magic ship. On the one hand, it is to promote the research and development of the new Feishang Association in the field of magic machinery. To perfect the existing magic industry system, on the other hand, it is intended to form a fleet of ocean freight forwarders to meet the increasingly urgent transportation needs of the new Feishang Association.
And when Lesley wants to buy a few military, if he is not going to be a pirate, then this thing can be equivalent to a bottomless pit, and can only continue to pay in.
Even if Lesley was not driven out of the house by the Duke of Stark, and with the huge financial support of the Stark family, I am afraid it would be difficult to do this kind of loss business.
Now he has been taken back by the Parliament of the Kingdom of Lampari. It is even more impossible to have such financial resources.
However, Lesley obviously does not intend to explain his intentions to Xu, and Xu will naturally not ask.
Compared with Leslie’s disregard for this medium-sized magic freighter, Xu also has to pay more attention to it.
The ability to successfully manufacture this medium-sized magic freighter means that the new flying merchants have achieved breakthroughs in many technologies.
The first of these is engine technology.
Although the magic locomotive engine and the magical steam engine are all wind-powered magic engines, they are roughly the same in principle, but they are actually very different.
Both in the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool Development Center, the development of the Magic Locomotive Engine and the Magic Wheel Engine is a separate step.
Nowadays, this medium-sized magic freighter has been successfully manufactured and sailed smoothly on the sea. It shows that the research and development of the magical steam engine has achieved a major breakthrough, which means that the research and development of the new Flyer's magic engine has reached a new height. In turn, it will promote the development of the magic locomotive engine.
For example, in the recent period, with the magic ship launch and the above research breakthrough. The research and development of the new locomotive magic locomotive engine has also made great progress. In the test, a large cargo magic locomotive with a cargo capacity of more than 20 tons has been successfully developed.
However, due to the inherent disadvantages of the wind-powered magic engine, there is still no way to achieve a major breakthrough in speed.
This can only wait for the development of the magic engine of the fire system to progress.
In addition to the engine, the successful manufacture of this medium-sized magic freighter also includes another breakthrough for the new flying machinery in large-scale magic machinery, which includes the most basic steel welding, molding of large parts, and the overall design of large magic machinery. ... and so on, the process of designing and manufacturing this medium-sized magic freighter has been significantly improved.
This medium-sized magic freighter has also proposed concepts from the beginning, and it has been nearly two years since it was truly built.
Even on Earth, this is already very fast.
And on this unfounded continent of Sainz, it is even more miraculous.
Now that this medium-sized magic freighter has successfully launched, and then build a second medium-sized magic freighter, the time will obviously be much faster.
By the time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has successfully formed the first ocean shipping fleet, it is possible to transport the goods of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce to all parts of the mainland of Sainz more easily through the endless sea.
Take the Kingdom of Rulson as an example.
Now that the new Feishang Association wants to transport all kinds of magic machinery produced to the Kingdom of Rulson, because of the terrain restrictions of the Principality of Constantine, it can only pass through the black rice wilderness, enter the Kingdom of Lampari, and then pass the Bangta City. Turned to the south and eventually entered the Kingdom of Rulson.
In this way, the total mileage will be close to 1,000 kilometers, the transportation cost will be high, and because of the middle of the Lanpari Kingdom, an additional tariff must be paid, and the total transportation cost is extremely high.
Once the ocean shipping fleet is completed, the cargo can be loaded directly onto the cargo ship, and a small circle is circled from the south of the Principality of Constantine, eventually landing on the southern coastline of the Kingdom of Rulson.
There is no need to pay any extra fees in the middle, plus the super-strong cargo load of the magic cargo ship. One transport is enough to offset the numerous ground transportations, which will undoubtedly reduce costs significantly.
And if you transport from the endless sea, you can easily reach the farther coastline countries on the mainland of Sainz. This is why Xu wants to promote the magic machinery produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the whole race. Enns mainland is very helpful.
However, the current capacity of the new Feishang Chamber is quite insufficient. Even if it has been successfully tested, the construction time of the next medium-sized magic freighter will be several months at the earliest.
By the time I can really form an ocean shipping fleet, I am afraid that it will be a matter of years later.
Thinking of this, Xu couldn't help but look at Leslie with some anger.
Originally, my own schedule was tight enough, and this guy is now running around.
It’s a waste of time! (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
