Xu Yi squatted down to keep his eyes parallel to the little girl in front of him.
"Hey, Lumi, are you anxious?"
Lumi, a dwarf girl who looks like a little human girl, pouted slightly, looking cute.
"Of course I'm anxious! I can't wait to find my people now!"
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that even if you really went on an ocean voyage and discovered a new continent, you might not be able to find your own people, because the sailing technology of the original Sainz continent was so poor, and those who escaped from Sainz might not be able to find it. All the dwarfs in the Sri Lankan continent have been buried in the boundless endless sea.
Of course, it was impossible for Xu Yi to say these words.
"Don't be anxious, because this matter cannot be rushed." Xu Yi shook his head. "As far as ocean navigation is concerned, do you think that with the current shipbuilding technology of our Chamber of Commerce, we can support a fleet to sail thousands of kilometers continuously on the boundless sea without any problems?"
Lumi suddenly fell silent, lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head in frustration.
She has been working as an engineer in the shipyard since she joined the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and she is even more knowledgeable about the ship technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than Xu Yi.
She certainly understands that with the current shipbuilding technology of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, although it is enough to support a fleet for ocean voyages, and can even conduct ultra-long-distance voyages such as the exploration of the Maro Empire thousands of kilometers away, it is very difficult. Support a fleet to explore deep into the endless sea.
The difference is that the current ocean voyages are still offshore voyages, and exploration of the New World is something like this. But it will go very deep into the endless sea. Really enter this boundless sea to explore.
The same is true if something unexpected happens. When sailing offshore, you can find a way to return to the land for help, but when exploring the ocean, you may not be able to get close to the land at any time. If an accident occurs, the ship may be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
This is also the main reason why Xu Yi dares to let Neva and others explore new routes, but refuses to allow Lumi to explore the ocean.
Seeing the disappointment on Lumi's face, Xu Yi smiled again and said: "Lumi, in fact, if you just want to explore the new continent, you don't necessarily have to use a magic ship for ocean exploration. There is another way to achieve this. Target."
"Is there any?" Lumi looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Of course." Xu Yi stretched out a finger and pointed at the sky above his head. "Compared to the rough and unpredictable sea, don't you think the sky is more reliable?"
Lumi was startled: "President, do you mean to use the magic airship to explore? But the magic airship can only fly up to a thousand kilometers away now? How can it be enough to fly to the New World?"
"That's just now." Xu Yi smiled. "When the magic airship was first developed, it could only fly as far as three hundred kilometers away, and its fastest speed was less than fifty kilometers per hour. But now it can fly one thousand kilometers away, and its fastest speed even exceeds one hundred kilometers per hour. Twenty kilometers. If this trend continues, I think it will soon reach a level that is unimaginable."
"But it's impossible for it to fly more than 10,000 kilometers in one breath..." Lumi still didn't believe it.
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that it was not impossible for a large passenger plane on Earth to fly ten thousand kilometers in one breath.
And if it is refueled in the air. The flight distance will only be longer.
Of course, this requires the existence of a base capable of supplying supplies along the way.
Xu Yi looked towards the deep sea in the distance. I thought that if countless bases capable of providing supplies could be built on the endless sea like on Earth, not to mention flying 10,000 kilometers away, it could even theoretically cover every place on the planet.
In this regard, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has actually already started working on it.
Previously, because the Sark Kingdom blocked the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through the sea, Xu Yi later strengthened defense in this area and began to establish bases on various islands along the coast of the Principality of Standing for defense.
After several years of development, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now included within its control the islands that are more than 500 kilometers away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If the magic airship takes off from the main base of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, it can be resupplied on any island with a base within the 500-kilometer range, which is equivalent to taking off again at full status.
And if this control range continues to be extended to the Endless Sea, then according to Evita’s magic airship sent to explore the nearby sea area, it can be found that the Endless Sea is more than a thousand kilometers away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. , are still dotted with islands of all sizes.
There are even human beings on some of the larger islands.
As long as you select some island controls, you can naturally extend the tentacles of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce into the depths of the endless sea.
If it is extended a little bit like this, it is not impossible to cover the entire endless sea.
By that time, exploring the New World will of course not be a problem.
"President, President? You mentioned the magic airship just now, and it suddenly reminded me of something." Lumi suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Xu Yi's thoughts.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
"Actually, I have a design drawing about the magic battleship that our tribe designed for the elves. I forgot it in the Azshara tribe. If you are interested, please let me go back and get it. I want it After Dean Vita sees this drawing, it will definitely be helpful to her research on the magic airship," Lumi said.
Seeing Lumi's expectant look, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but chuckle.
Although this Lumi looks like a little human girl, she is actually a dwarf who has lived for hundreds of years. She is not a real little girl who is not obsessed with the world.
She had never mentioned that she had the design drawings of the magic battleship in her hand before, but now she took the initiative to bring it up. Perhaps it was because she told her that she could explore the new continent using the magic airship, and she decided to do so because she saw the hope of finding her tribe.
Otherwise, she might keep hiding it.
"How much does this Lumi hide?" Xu Yi couldn't help but think to himself.
But after thinking about it, Xu Yi felt that this didn't seem to be very important.
If he was very interested in the legendary elves' so-called invincible magic warships before, then now with the rapid progress of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in magic machinery, he is interested in the so-called magic on the thousands-year-old Sainz continent. There is nothing about machinery that calls for awe.
The magic warship designed by the dwarfs for the elves is said to be invincible, but its cost is extremely high and its practicality is actually very poor.
And according to legend, the main function of this magic battleship is reflected in its extremely powerful attack power.
If Xu Yi guessed correctly, it should be that the magic battleship was attached with extremely powerful offensive magic, and then relied on the powerful magic power of the elves to exert extremely tyrannical and almost invincible power.
This is completely different from Xu Yi's design direction for magic airships and even military magic machines, and does not have much reference value.
Of course, he did not refuse, but nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, if the legendary magic battleship can be used as a reference, Evita will definitely get a lot of inspiration."
Even though it is inconsistent with the research direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi still believes that this thing can be of some use, not to mention that Lumi brought it up so proactively, so it is not easy to brush off her good intentions.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't seem to be particularly positive, Lumi was a little disappointed. She said oh and nodded to show that she understood.
After chatting with Lumi for a few more words, Lumi and other people from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce who came to see off Neva's ocean transport fleet took the magic airship back to the Principality of Standing. However, Xu Yi drove his own magic car. After leaving Heimi Port, go all the way east into Heimi Wasteland, then turn north and reach the border of Heimi Wasteland.
When a wisp of fresh green appeared in the far end of his sight, Xu Yi knew that his destination was about to be reached.
Ahead is the territory that the Moon Shadow Tribe previously requested from the Sark Kingdom.
This territory is adjacent to the Endless Sea to the west and is inaccessible to the Black Rice Wasteland. It is equivalent to digging out a piece of land in the southwest corner of the Sark Kingdom. It lies between the Sark Kingdom and the Black Rice Wasteland, making it difficult for the Sark Kingdom to relax now. Invading the Black Rice Wasteland and posing a threat to the Black Rice Wasteland and the Principality of Standing to the south.
When the Sark Kingdom handed over this territory to the Moon Shadow Tribe two years ago, it was as desolate as the Black Rice Wasteland. But now two years later, it has turned into a green and vibrant jungle.
There is an old saying on the Sainz continent that the elves are always accompanied by greenery and vitality at their feet, which is perfectly reflected in this territory.
As soon as Xu Yi's magic car arrived at the edge of the jungle, a group of fully armed Yueying tribe elves jumped out of it.
Of course, they just came to greet Xu Yi.
Although Elder Lisanya is very interested in driving a magic motorcycle, due to the stubbornness of the elves, the Moon Shadow tribe still maintains the unique appearance of the elves in the territory.
The jungle was the most primitive environment, but there were no clear roads connecting it, so Xu Yi could only abandon the magic car and follow the group of elves who greeted him and walked in.
As a result, it took him nearly an hour to finally see the long-lost Elder Lisanya again in the depths of the jungle.
"President Xu, if I remember correctly, this is your first time here since we officially took over, right?" Elder Lisanya asked with a smile.
"You remember correctly, this is indeed my first time here." Xu Yi nodded, but his eyes fell on Elder Elusia next to Elder Lisania. "Elder Elusia, where is Anis?" (To be continued...)
