The waves rolled up and the impact made the Jasmine frigate rock gently on the sea.
Leslie stood firmly on the deck, her body motionless.
Now he is no longer a rookie who vomited all over the floor shortly after boarding a sea ship for the first time. After nearly two years of sea journey, he has long been fully adapted to life at sea, and has even fallen deeply in love with it. life.
If he returned to Anvilmar City now, I'm afraid those noble ladies and ladies who would always scream at his appearance in the past would no longer be able to recognize him.
Of course, those noble ladies and ladies who screamed for him before were partly because of his status as the heir to the Stark family.
Now that the Stark family has long disappeared from the history of the Lampali Kingdom, his heir has naturally lost this most dazzling halo.
However, Leslie did not feel that this kind of thing was a pity at all. He had long been bored with the life of an aristocratic son before, and now living at sea has allowed him to seek excitement that he had never thought of. It made him increasingly unable to live without this kind of life.
"Sir, I received the message from the president!"
The adjutant on the frigate suddenly ran over with a dark and ugly second-generation magic talk box.
"Oh? So they are not far from here." Leslie took the magic call box and shouted directly: "Hey, Xu Yi, where are you?"
Xu Yi's hearty laughter sounded in the magic call box: "Leslie, are you talking nonsense? The effective range of the mobile magic signal tower on your ship is less than four kilometers. Where else can I go? "
"I'm asking for your specific location. Do you want us to go meet you?"
"We should be northwest of you. Don't come to meet us. Drive directly to Yala Port. We will meet outside the port."
"good."
Leslie turned to the adjutant and ordered: "Give me the order and march to Yala Port as a group."
The adjutant left in response.
After a while, seeing the other frigates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort fleet surrounding the nearby turning towards the Yala Port, Leslie sighed towards the magic call box: "Xu Yi, I have to say that this mobile magic signal tower is still powerful. It’s really easy to use. With this thing, it’s much easier to command your subordinates. You no longer have to stay a little far away and just leave it to fate.”
"This thing is not as easy to use as you think. Its effective range is currently less than four kilometers. You will not be able to contact us beyond four kilometers. But I will wait for a while to test it on your Jasmine. If there is a problem, I will install the same magic signal tower on every other frigate. In this way, as long as you train properly, you can disperse all these frigates. In theory, only twenty frigates are needed. It can cover an area of more than one hundred square kilometers on the sea.”
"Really? That would be great. In this endless sea, the most troublesome thing is the communication problem. It's okay near the islands where we set up bases, but once we are far away, there is really nothing we can do. " Leslie paused and suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Hey, Xu Yi. Have you considered this issue this time? If we can cover the entire sea area with the communication network you mentioned? It’s much easier to control.”
Xu Yi chuckled from the magic call box: "Don't worry. I've been prepared."
"That's good."
The frigate was traveling at high speed on the endless sea, and not long after, a black line representing land appeared in front of it.
At this moment, two groups of "dark clouds" flew over at an unusually high speed in the sky on the left front, and soon stayed above the heads of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet.
Leslie looked up and connected the magic phone box in his hand again.
"Hey, Xu Yi, don't you plan to come down?"
"No need, just fly over."
Leslie looked up at the two magic airships flying steadily high in the sky, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, is this a demonstration?"
In the magic airship above his head, Xu Yi closed the magic call box in his hand and turned to look at Akali beside him, who was concentrating on taking notes. After a while, she stopped and asked: "How is the situation?"
Akali rubbed her sore hands and frowned slightly: "The magic signal is not very stable, and the call quality has obviously fluctuated."
"Well, I just discovered it. So why does this problem occur?"
Akali frowned and thought for a while, spread her hands, and sighed: "I can't draw a detailed conclusion for the time being. However, it is speculated based on past situations that there should be some magic source nearby that emits powerful magic fluctuations, affecting the magic signal. The magic signal from the magic circle in the tower and magic call box fluctuates. It is also possible that the frigate is traveling at high speed and the environment changes rapidly, causing the magic signal to become unstable. "
"It's possible. But when it comes to the impact of environmental changes, the environment on land is obviously much more complex than the environment on the sea. Since you can handle it well on land, I believe there should be no problem on the sea."
Akali raised her head, shook her beautiful shoulder-length hair, and said proudly: "Of course, you don't care who I am."
Xu Yi laughed, turned around and walked into the cockpit.
This time, there is no Evita in the cockpit of the magic airship. Because she is still in the main base and Kennard is preparing for the sale of military magic machinery to the Sark Kingdom, so she just sent her subordinates. The members of the research team responsible for the study of magic airships are here.
Xu Yi briefly asked them about the navigation status of the newly built magic airship following them. After confirming that there were no unexpected incidents along the way, he returned to the middle cabin with confidence and waited patiently.
Although the black line representing the land can be seen from a distance, the actual distance is extremely far. The two magic airships follow the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet in the high air. The ten frigates sent this time move at a speed of forty per hour. Sailing at a speed of kilometers per hour, it took more than half an hour to actually reach the land.
Seeing the flag of the Kandra Empire and the flag of the Kandra Empire's navy fluttering in the wind in the Yala Port from a distance, Xu Yi ordered the two magic airships to prepare for landing.
When ten frigates sailed into the port terminal of Yala Port with ease, two magic airships also slowly landed in the open space of Yala Port.
The hatch opened, and as soon as Xu Yigang walked out, he saw Russell leading a group of people over.
Although there is a fairly enthusiastic smile on his face, if you look carefully, you will find that Russell's eyes are slightly narrowed, and the meaning in his eyes seems to be completely opposite to the expression on his face.
"President Xu, welcome." Russell came over and greeted Xu Yi. Although his tone was not cold, it was not enthusiastic at all.
Xu Yi naturally knew very well why Russell had such an attitude, so he didn't mind at all. Instead, he enthusiastically took Russell's hand and shook it. He laughed and said: "Sir Russell, who can win the battle between the Candela Empire and It makes me very happy to meet you.”
The forced smile on Russell's face froze slightly, and he loosened the hand held by Xu Yi without any trace, making an invitation gesture.
"President Xu, please sit inside."
"good."
Xu Yi smiled and led Russell and he walked side by side into the Yala Port. His eyes swept over and landed on the Yala Port pier. He pointed at a white frigate produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the distance with the flag of the Candela Empire Navy and asked. Said: "Lord Russell, this frigate has been serving under your navy during this period. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"
Upon hearing this question, the expressions of Russell and the naval officers of the Candela Empire who followed them all changed.
Russell turned his head and took a deep look at Xu Yi, then nodded slowly: "President Xu, did you do this on purpose?"
"On purpose? What purpose?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
Russell snorted heavily: "President Xu, you know that we invited you here to discuss the follow-up maintenance of the frigate, but now you come here to ask this kind of question, are you deliberately blaming us?"
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed an agreement with the Candela Imperial Navy to sell three frigates to them, the completion of these three frigates will not be until next year at the latest.
But Russell was eager to prove to the Imperial Navy and the Ministry of Military Affairs that he was correct in purchasing frigates, so after discussing with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, he decided to first allocate a frigate from the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce escort fleet to be delivered to the Candela Imperial Navy for use, which is the one in front of him. .
After the frigate entered service with the Kandra Empire Navy, it performed well in the first few months, but suddenly became unable to start last month.
The Candela Empire Navy could not solve the problem, so it had to turn to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sent people to solve the problem, a similar problem arose not long after.
This time, after the overhaul, the Magic Ship Engineer sent by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce unceremoniously pointed out directly to the Candela Empire Navy that their usual maintenance of the frigate was not adequate, which led to frequent problems with the frigate.
The Candela Imperial Navy had no choice but to invite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to negotiate and resolve the frigate's follow-up maintenance issues after discussion, so as to avoid similar problems from occurring again in the future after the other two frigates are delivered for use.
Xu Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I don't mean that at all. Mr. Russell, I'm just asking you whether you are satisfied with the performance of this frigate during this period of time. Is there anything that makes you feel good about it?" Not good enough? This is just a normal request for after-sales advice, don’t get me wrong.”
Upon hearing this explanation, Russell and the Candela Empire naval officers behind him softened their expressions. Russell turned around and pointed at a young officer who looked less than forty years old and said: "This frigate Morning Light has been in New York during this time. Serving under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Nunn, Lieutenant Colonel Nunn, please give Chairman Xu a detailed introduction to your thoughts on using the Morning Light frigate during this period."
