The Wings only stayed in Carrasca Island for one night.
Early the next morning, after a large amount of living supplies and various military magic machines with a total value of more than 30,000 gold coins were transported off the ship, the Spreading Wings set sail again and sailed about 80 kilometers to the north of Kalaska Island. , after bypassing an island that was even larger than Carrasca Island, turned eastward.
It was more than two hundred kilometers away from the coastline. At the speed of the Zhanyi, we still drove from early morning to afternoon before we saw a black line in the sky representing the coastline in the distance.
Nerval put down the telescope in his hand and smiled at Xu Yi beside him: "President, it seems that we have reached our destination very smoothly. This offshore long-distance cruise test is more than half successful."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded, but couldn't help but look up at the sky that was starting to get a little dark as dusk approached.
The purpose of this offshore long-distance cruise is not only to test the long-distance cruising capability of the Spread Wings, but also to enhance the experience of ocean cruising for Captain Nieval and the crew of the Spread Wings.
&nb&万&书&吧& {3.}.{nsb}.{m}sp;?In this continent of Sainz, where technology is extremely underdeveloped, when sailing on the vast sea, most of the time you can only rely on experience. Determine the azimuth and direction, but cannot navigate accurately with high-tech satellite positioning systems like on the earth. The reason why Nerval seemed so happy when he saw the coastline was because even he, the captain who was very familiar with this sea area, was not completely sure that he could lead the Wings to reach the designated destination smoothly and accurately.
The technology in this world is still very far away from launching satellites for precise positioning, and Xu Yi cannot find fault with Neva's work.
Although I feel very helpless about this situation, I still want to sincerely praise Neva's working ability.
To know. Even a captain like Nerval. It took Xu Yi a lot of time to find it.
Want to have a large enough crew capable of carrying out ocean voyage transportation. It still needs to be slowly cultivated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself.
"How is the loss situation so far?" Xu Yi thought for a while and asked Nevaar.
"Not bad." Nerval replied with a relaxed expression. "It is roughly the same as the loss in our previous voyage tests. The current total consumption is about 73 tons of standard magic crystals. Calculated based on mileage, the average consumption per kilometer is about 150 kilograms of standard magic crystals."
"About 150 kilograms?" Xu Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, not bad. This level of loss is completely acceptable." According to the new standards for magic crystals proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute. One kilogram of standard magic crystal extracted by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce contains one Ai.
One Ai's magic power is enough for a latest Xinfei brand magic fan to run continuously for three days.
The power required by the Zhanzhi is naturally countless times that of the magic fan, so every kilometer it sails on the sea consumes a full 150 Ai of magic power.
Based on the current cost of 20 gold coins per ton for Xinfei merchants to refine standard magic crystals, a loss of 150 kilograms per kilometer actually only costs 3 gold coins.
In Xu Yi's opinion, the power loss per kilometer of such a large freight magic ship only costs three gold coins, which is almost as if it was given for free.
If you look at it from the earth, it is simply a fantasy.
Of course, this is also because magic crystals are everywhere on the Sainz continent. Therefore, it appears to be extremely worthless, and ordinary quality magic crystals are not as valued as ordinary stones.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has currently purchased seventeen magic crystal mines from various places. For this, he only paid less than one million gold coins.
The cost of extracting standard magic crystals is mainly concentrated on mining magic crystal mines, with almost no investment in other aspects, which makes the cost so low.
From this point of view, the transportation cost of using the Zhanyi, a large magic ship with a load capacity of more than 3,000 tons, to carry cargo is simply terrifyingly low.
However, in the past two years, as various magic machines produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce have become popular in large areas, people have gradually paid more and more attention to the loss of magic crystals.
The prices of ordinary magic crystals circulating in the market have not changed, but the prices of medium and high quality, especially high-quality magic crystals, have increased significantly.
Judging from this sign, people on the continent of Sainz have gradually begun to realize the importance of the resource of magic crystal.
Xu Yi naturally noticed this sign, so he has been frantically acquiring magic crystal mines from various places in the past two years, and encouraged Evita to continue researching magic crystal refining technology, in order to prepare for the energy competition that will occur in the near future.
Returning to the Spreading Wings, in addition to the loss of power, of course there are other losses for such a large ship.
As for other aspects of wear and tear, apart from the wear and tear required by the crew's daily life, they are mainly concentrated in the wear and tear of various details of the cabin.
For example, a warehouse door suddenly could not be opened last night because a screw was loose. "
After hearing this report, Xu Yi's face immediately darkened: "Who is responsible for installing the screws in this warehouse? Write down the name, and give him a second-level warning when he returns, and deduct this month's bonus. He is also responsible for the entire warehouse. The assembly squad leader is also jointly and severally liable, and will also have his monthly bonus deducted and given a level three warning.”
Nerval stuck out his tongue secretly, thinking that the president was really strict.
It was just a loose screw, but such a severe punishment was required, including the responsible squad leader.
But then I thought about it, although the Zhanyi was large enough to allow for these mistakes, it was too dangerous when sailing at sea, so the requirements must be extremely strict.
The president did this just to establish this concept.
As a person who will live on this ship for most of the time in the future, Neva is very supportive of Xu Yi's approach.
Nerval also reported several other minor problems on the Zhanyi, and Xu also gave corresponding disciplinary advice without any politeness.
With Xu Yi's consistent work style, these punishment results will definitely be announced when the Zhanyi returns to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Harbor.
Although it was strict, Neva was sure that those who were punished would not complain at all.
Xu Yi has absolute prestige in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because he has always been very fair in dealing with things. He will punish any mistakes and he will not be stingy with rewards when he makes merits.
When all the employees of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce discussed in private, they all agreed that as long as they work hard in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they will definitely receive generous rewards.
While Nerval was reporting to Xu Yi, the Zhanyi was still driving steadily towards the horizon at high speed.
While listening to Neva's report, Xu Yi looked at the coastline getting closer and closer in the distance, and suddenly noticed a column of black smoke rising high from the distance.
Xu Yi was startled, grabbed the telescope held by Nerval, and looked towards the coastline.
Through the lens, I saw countless figures moving along the coastline from a distance, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't see clearly what was going on.
Nerval also noticed the strange movement on the coastline, and when he was about to ask Xu Yi, a violent explosion sound suddenly came from the coastline.
Even at such a distance, the explosion was still extremely loud, showing how loud it was.
At this time, not only Xu Yi and Nevaar noticed, but the other crew members who had spread their wings were also attracted. Everyone looked at the coast with doubts in their eyes.
Xu Yi put down the telescope and said to Neval in a deep voice: "Give me the order, increase the speed to the highest speed, and rush to Heimi Port immediately!"
Nerval responded quickly, took out the magic talk box, and loudly gave the order to speed up to the crew.
After a moment, the hull of the Spread Wings shook slightly, and then the huge hull began to gradually accelerate, gradually increasing from the previous uniform speed of thirty kilometers per hour to over forty kilometers per hour.
This speed is the current limit speed of Zhanyi. Under normal circumstances, this speed will not be adopted, because it will greatly increase the power consumption, and may even increase the power consumption to twice the normal situation.
Moreover, in this state, the pressure on the entire ship is several times higher, and it is easy for uncontrollable losses to occur in a larger area.
But in this case, he couldn't care less.
The coastline quickly approached, Xu Yi gradually saw clearly what was happening on the coastline through the telescope, and his face became darker and darker.
This Black Rice Port was built on the coast of Black Rice Wasteland near the Endless Sea. The purpose is to allow the goods produced by various factories in Black Rice Wasteland to be loaded onto sea ships through this port, and then transported to the mainland more conveniently by sea. other places.
This port can be regarded as the window to the endless sea in the Black Rice Wasteland. It is connected to the factories under the names of many chambers of commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland, including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and is extremely important.
Since its establishment last year, the port has only been half completed so far, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested more than three million gold coins in it.
And in order to make good use of this port, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also teamed up with the Amli Chamber of Commerce to build a road that runs through the entire Heimi Wasteland and is more than 500 kilometers long.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce invested nearly one million gold coins in this road alone.
This shows how much Xu Yi attaches importance to this port.
However, now, countless people rushed into the port, waving weapons in their hands, and charged back and forth in the port.
From time to time, huge fireballs flew in from the outside and smashed into the port, plunging the entire port into a sea of fire.
