Vol 7 Chapter 16: Open the era of great navigation

Upon hearing this question, Xu immediately put away his laughter and thought about it and replied: "It has been basically confirmed. Elder Eleucia, have you selected the person on your side?"
"Well, I have already selected a team of ten people. I will leave with you when I am, I hope you can help arrange them."
"Well, you will bring them over next time, I will wait for them to meet with Noval. Noval is the chief conductor of this ocean exploration, he will arrange it properly."
"Okay." Elder Lucia nodded and said to Xu Yixiao: "Mr. Xu, our night song tribe has been enjoying your help for so many years, but there is no way to give you too much reward. It is really Some are sorry."
Xu Yi suddenly stunned, and then his face widened inconceivably, staring at Eurenia Elder from top to bottom, and then carefully looked back and forth from the bottom to the top.
Elder Eluhiah was uncomfortable when he saw it. He couldn’t help but ask: "Mr. Xu, I said something wrong?"
"No...nothing wrong...just..." Xu also had a strange expression on his face. "Elder Lucia, this is the standard slogan that we have said between humans. It pops out of your mouth. I really feel how weird it is..."
"Guest?" Elder Lucia shook his head. "This is not a guest, but a feeling from the heart. Our elves advocate the path of nature and balance. If you have been favored by others but cannot repay, it will really make me feel very embarrassed."
Xu also wiped his face speechlessly. Putting hands and saying: "Oh, Elder Lucia, you still don't want to be so serious. I have already discussed this with you a long time ago. I chose to help you the night song tribe. I just hope to be able to I have included the elves in this magical industrial system built by my ideals. After so many years, you have developed very well and have become an indispensable part of this system. For me, this is already Sufficient. As for other aspects of the reward... Do you think I am missing something?"
Eleutian elders thought about it with a slight squint, but shook his head: "We don't have anything you have, so this is the most important question that cannot be repaid."
"Well, don't entangle this problem." Xu also smiled and waved again. Decided to end this topic.
He is very clear about the stubborn character of the elves, and if they really continue to discuss with Elder Eleuther. Maybe she will come up with any ideas in the end.
"If you really want to say something, I am actually curious about why you, the Elf tribes, must send personnel to participate in this ocean exploration." Xu also thought. "This is only the first ocean exploration conducted by our Chamber of Commerce. There are too many unknown dangers. If you rush to send people, you will suffer unexpected losses."
This is indeed a question that Xu has always had during this time.
Knowing that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce intends to organize the fleet to conduct ocean exploration, not only the Eleutian elders expressed the wish to send the elves of the tribe to participate in this ocean exploration, even the elders of Lisangya and Elder Wendini also expressed the moon shadow tribe And the Azshara tribe also sent personnel to participate.
This made Xu very strange. He didn't understand why the three Elf tribes were so enthusiastic about this ocean exploration.
If Lumi, the gnome, knows that Xu has finally decided to organize the ocean exploration fleet, even if she is so excited that she can’t sleep for a few days, she will always look forward to another legendary continent to find her own. Clan.
But the elves have no history of all such people relocating and leaving the mainland of Sainz. What kind of action is this so active?
"We just want to find out about some things." Ereli's elder smiled, but the answer was very vague and clear that I didn't want to explain the problem.
Xu also frowned. I know that if Elder Ashe is not willing to say anything, he will use it no matter how he inquires, and he will give up.
Anyway, the preliminary exploration of the Ocean Exploration Fleet will consist of five large magic cargo ships combined with fifteen magic frigates. There are dozens of elves to follow and do not affect anything.
In comparison, Xu also pays more attention to this ocean exploration operation itself.
Through these various legends circulating on the Cairns continent in these years, Xu also basically determined that the planet under the foot is very likely to be more than the continent of Sainz, but should have other continents.
If we can explore this continent, it will further expand the world that Xu also knows.
In addition to meeting the needs of his spiritual exploration, it is more practical. It is possible to incorporate more land and corresponding resources, as well as more likely to exist, into the magic industry system he has planned.
Creating a complete magical industrial system takes time. More need a lot of people.
If more people can participate, it will naturally make it develop faster.
In addition, from a very realistic point of view, the situation on the mainland of Sainz today is basically stable. Almost all the land is divided by various countries, and various resources are firmly controlled by these countries.
Although the new Feishang Association has a good cooperative relationship with most countries on the mainland by virtue of its superior position in the magic industry, it can obtain a lot of resources to support its development.
But these resources are not in their own hands, after all, it is not so reliable.
Although Xu can completely start the war to a little bit for the new Feishang to occupy more land resources, as proposed by Sevigny a few years ago, although the current strength of the new Feishang Association can shock all countries on the mainland. So that they do not dare to commit crimes easily, but if they want to attack other countries, they will be extremely inadequate.
After all, the new Flyer Chamber is just a chamber of commerce, not a country.
For the new Flyer Guards, it is not difficult to completely defeat all the regular troops in another country, but it is almost impossible to completely occupy and rule the country.
So under such circumstances, exploring more land and seeking more resources is one of the most effective options.
In fact, this idea was first seen by Xu Yi in Lu Yi, which basically confirmed that the world was very likely to have another continent, but it was not until after years of accumulation and preparation that it was really confirmed. The establishment of a fleet can officially carry out ocean exploration operations.
For this matter, not only is Lumi excited, but Xu is also very excited.
Because this is simply the opening of the world's great voyage era!
###
Half a month later, after half a year of preparations, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s Ocean Exploration Fleet finally officially went to sea.
For this event of great significance, the major newspapers on the mainland of Sainz have made a large-scale detailed report.
The views of this matter in all newspapers are strikingly consistent.
The new ocean exploration activity of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is very likely to be a major event in changing the history of the mainland of Sainz.
Prior to this, there were countless legends about another continent on the mainland of Sainz, but it has never been confirmed.
If the new Feishang Association Ocean Exploration Fleet can truly explore another continent, it not only confirms this legend, but also almost changes the world view of all people on the entire Sainz mainland.
Prior to this, people on the mainland of Sainz generally believed that the world was this continent, plus the endless sea of ​​endless sea.
Even if there are some islands in the endless seas around, it is not worth mentioning compared to the Sainz mainland, so the Sainz mainland is of course the center of the world.
But if the New Flying Merchants Association Ocean Exploration Fleet confirms the existence of another continent, does it mean that the Sainz continent is not the only continent in the world, and naturally it is not the center of the world?
For this possibility, people are looking forward to and worrying.
The hope of course is that I hope to find another continent, to discover the legendary creatures that live on another continent, and the legendary passage through the endless sea. The gnomes who lived on other roads have long disappeared in Sainz. Other races on the mainland.
Worried, if the Sainz continent is not the center of the world, where is the center?
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s Ocean Exploration Fleet has taken the attention of countless people from the harbor of the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and headed for the West of the Infinity Sea.
According to Xu’s observations of various details over the past few years, it can be judged that the autobiographical time of the planet where Sainz’s continent is located is almost exactly the same as that of the Earth, and the radius is not too different, so basically it can be used on the earth. The basic geography knowledge is applied over.
Then, according to the speed of the fleet of more than 500 kilometers per day, if all goes well, they only need more than three months to sail around the planet.
Of course, the first time sailing is not going to be so smooth, so Xu also estimated the time for them to be one year.
This does not mean that Xu also has no confidence in them. On the contrary, he is very confident in the successful completion of this ocean exploration.
After all, on the earth, Magellan's first round-the-world voyage was only a worn-out wooden sea boat. The conditions in all aspects were far worse than the ocean exploration fleet.
Magellan can successfully end his voyage, this ocean exploration fleet can not be impossible.
The only thing he was worried about was that in case he really explored another continent, there were various accidents that might have happened on that continent.
However, these fears have already been left behind by the Xuan when the fleet disappeared into the distant sea level.
Since the fleet has already gone out to sea, he can no longer do more.
In comparison, it is more important to focus on the upcoming meeting of the Magic Industry Standards. (To be continued)
