Magic Industry Empire - 609. Chapter 609 Black Rice Port
Zhanwing only stayed on the island of Kallaska for one night.
Early the next morning, when the large amount of living supplies and various military magic machinery carried on the ship with a total value of more than 30,000 gold coins were transported, the Wing Spreader set sail again and sailed about 80 kilometers to the north of the island of Kallaska. , After bypassing an island that is a circle larger than the island of Kallaska, turn to the east.
It was already more than two hundred kilometers away from the coastline, and at the speed of the Wing Spreader, it was still driving from the early morning to the afternoon to see a black line representing the coastline in the sky.
Nevar put down the telescope in his hand and smiled at Xu Yi next to him: “Mr. President, it seems that we should have reached the destination very smoothly. This offshore long-distance cruise test is considered to be more than half a success.”
Xu Yi smiled and nodded, but couldn’t help but look up at the sky that was beginning to darken slightly because of the approaching dusk.
The purpose of this offshore long-distance cruise is to test the long-distance cruising capabilities of the Zhanwing, but also to allow the captain of the Zhanwing to improve the experience of ocean cruising.
On the continent of Sainz, which is extremely underdeveloped in science and technology, sailing on the vast sea most of the time can only rely on experience to determine the azimuth and direction, and cannot rely on the high-tech satellite positioning system to accurately navigate like the earth.
The reason why Nevar was so happy when he saw the coastline was because even he, a captain who was very familiar with this sea area, was not sure enough to lead the Zhanwing to its intended destination smoothly and accurately.
The technology in this world is still very far away from launching satellites for precise positioning, and Xu can’t be critical of Neva’s work.
Although I feel very helpless about this situation in my heart, I still have to sincerely praise Nevar’s work ability.
You know, even if it is a captain like Nevar, it took Xu Yi a lot of time to find it.
If you want to have a large number of crews capable of ocean-going transportation, you have to train the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on its own.
“So far, what’s the situation of wear and tear?” Xu Yi thought for a while and asked Nevar.
“Not bad.” Nievar replied lightly. “It is roughly the same as the loss in our previous several sailing tests. At present, the total consumption is about 73 tons of standard magic crystals. Based on the mileage, the average consumption per kilometer is about 150 kilograms of standard magic crystals.”
“Are you about one hundred and fifty kilograms?” Xu Yi thought for a moment and nodded: “Well, it’s not bad. This level of loss is completely acceptable.”
According to the new standard of magic crystal proposed by the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the magic power contained in the standard magic crystal refined by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is one Ai.
Yi Ai’s magic power is enough for a newest new Fei brand magic fan to run continuously for three days.
The power required by the Zhanwing is naturally countless times that of the magic fan, so for every kilometer on the sea, it will consume a full 150 AE of magic power.
Based on the fact that the current cost of refining standard magic crystals from Xinfei merchants is 20 gold coins per ton, it costs only three gold coins to lose one hundred and fifty kilograms per kilometer.
In Xu Yi’s view, the power loss per kilometer of such a large cargo ship actually only costs three gold coins, which is almost the same as for nothing.
If you look at it on the earth, it is simply a fantasy.
Of course, this is also because magic crystals are everywhere on Sainz continent, so they appear to be extremely worthless, and ordinary quality magic crystals are not even regarded as ordinary stones.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has so far bought a total of 17 magic crystal mines from various places, but for this it only paid a price of less than one million gold coins.
The cost of extracting the standard magic crystal from it is mainly concentrated on mining the magic crystal mine, and there is almost no investment in other aspects, which leads to such a low cost.
Calculating from this aspect, the use of Zhanwing, a large magic ship with a carrying capacity of more than three thousand tons, for freight transportation, the transportation cost is simply terribly low.
However, in the past two years, with the widespread use of various magic machines produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce, people have gradually paid attention to the loss of magic crystals.
The price of ordinary magic crystals circulating in the market has not changed, but the price of medium and high-quality, especially high-quality magic crystals, has seen a significant increase.
Judging from this sign, the people on Sainz continent have gradually begun to realize the importance of the resource of magic crystal.
Xu Yi is naturally aware of this sign, so in the past two years, he has been purchasing magic crystal mines from all over the world, and encouraged Evita to continue to study magic crystal refining technology, which is to prepare for the energy competition that will occur in the near future.
Going back to the Zhanwing, in addition to the loss of power, of course there are other losses for such a large ship.
As for other wear and tear, apart from the wear and tear required by the crew’s daily life, they are mainly concentrated on the various details of the cabin.
For example, the door of a warehouse suddenly couldn’t be opened last night because a screw was loose. ”
Hearing this report, Xu Yi immediately sank: “Who is responsible for the installation of screws in this warehouse? Write down the name, and when you go back, give him a secondary warning and deduct the bonus of the month. In addition, he is responsible for the overall warehouse. The assembling squad leader is also jointly and severally liable, deducting the bonus this month, and giving a three-level warning.”
Nevar spit out his tongue secretly, thinking that it is really strict for the master to grow up.
However, it was just a screw that was loosened, and it was necessary to give such a severe punishment, and even the responsible squad leader had to give it a punishment.
But on second thought, although the Zhanwing is large enough to allow these errors, it is too dangerous when sailing at sea, so it must be extremely strict.
The Lord President did this just to establish this concept.
As a person who will live on this Zhanwing ship most of the time, Neva supports Xu Yi’s approach very much.
Nevar reported several other minor problems on the Wings, and Xu Yi also unceremoniously gave corresponding sanctions.
With Xu Yi’s consistent style of doing things, when the Zhanchi returns to the port of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the results of these punishments will definitely be announced.
Although strict, Nevar is sure that those who have been punished will never complain.
Xu Yi has absolute prestige in the New Flying Merchants Association, because he has always been extremely fair in his work, he will be punished if he makes mistakes, and he is not stingy in rewards when he is meritorious.
When discussing privately, all the employees of the New Flying Business Association agreed that as long as they work hard in the New Flying Business Association, they will definitely get rich returns.
While Neval was reporting to Xu Yi, Zhanwing was still steadily driving towards the sea level at high speed.
While listening to Nivar’s return, Xu Yi looked at the coastline getting closer and closer, and suddenly noticed a black smoke rising high from a distance.
Xu Yi was shocked, grabbed the telescope held by Nevar and looked up the coastline.
Through the lens, I can see countless people on the coastline from afar, but because the distance is too far, I can’t see exactly what happened.
Nevar also noticed the unusual movement on the coastline. When he was about to inquire about Xu Yishi, a violent explosion sounded from the coastline.
At such a distance, the explosion sound is still extremely loud, and the loudness of the sound can be seen.
At this time, not only Xu Yi and Nevar noticed, but the other crew members who had spread their wings were also attracted. Everyone looked at the coast together, their eyes uncertain.
Xu Yi put down the binoculars, and said in a deep voice to Nievar: “The order goes on, increase to the highest speed, and immediately rush to the port of Heimi!”
Nevar quickly responded, took out the magic call box, and gave a loud order to the crew to accelerate.
After a while, the Zhanwing’s hull shook slightly, and then the huge hull began to accelerate gradually, gradually increasing from the previous constant speed of 30 kilometers per hour to more than 40 kilometers per hour.
This speed is the current limit speed of Zhanwing. Under normal circumstances, this speed will not be adopted, because this will greatly increase the power consumption, and it may even increase the power consumption to twice the normal conditions.
And in this state, the pressure on the entire ship is several times higher, and it is prone to uncontrollable loss of a larger area.
However, in this case, it can’t take care of so much.
The coastline quickly approached, and Xu Yi gradually saw what was happening on the coastline through a telescope, his face getting darker and darker.
This black rice port is built on the coast of the black rice wasteland near the endless sea. The purpose is to allow the goods produced by the various factories on the black rice wasteland to be shipped to Shanghai through this port, and then transported to the mainland more conveniently by sea. other places.
This port can be regarded as the window of the Black Rice Wasteland to the endless sea. It is connected with the factories in the Black Rice Wasteland under the name of many chambers of commerce, including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is extremely important.
Since its establishment last year, the port has only been completed halfway up to now, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has invested more than three million gold coins in it.
Moreover, in order to make good use of this port, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce also cooperated with the Amli Chamber of Commerce to build a road that runs through the entire black rice wasteland and is more than 500 kilometers long.
For this road alone, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce invested a full close to one million gold coins.
This shows how much Xu Yi attaches great importance to this port.
But now, countless people rushed into this port, waving weapons in their hands, rushing back and forth in the port.
From time to time, huge fireballs flew in from outside, smashed into the harbor, and plunged the entire harbor into a sea of flames.
