Chapter 818 A Small Thing
The design of an airship is simple, but it is also complex and requires consideration of many aspects.
However, there are actually quite a few studies on modern airships. Currently, the largest airship, the Sky Lander, is a behemoth that is nearly 100 meters long and ten stories high.
The load capacity also exceeds ten tons.
It’s just that because there are more convenient things like helicopters, the application of airships on Earth is still relatively small.
But this is completely different in the 'game world', because the principles of airships are relatively achievable now!
As soon as Okita's wandering balloon plan was proposed, it was immediately approved unanimously by the current board of directors of the "Abyss Mineral Company", and they began to actively mobilize resources.
Nowadays, external currencies and credit points cannot be directly converted, which makes many people anxious.
Especially players like Qin Xiang who are used to the power of money. Although they are strong enough to rush out of the Warcraft Forest with the blessing of the Fire Dog, they have no interest in it at all.
If you have no money, go out and become a beggar!
He felt it was too embarrassing to have a group of people crowded in the room.
At first, he was thinking about using the Fire Dog to organize a caravan.
The fire dog has thick skin and flesh, making it perfect for use as a cargo ox or horse.
Moreover, given the Fire Dog's strength, no Warcraft would pay attention to it if it passed through the Warcraft Forest.
Qin Xiang has also used his own connections to attract players like PDD to start forming the prototype of a caravan.
PDD is now also a co-anchor of 'Abyss Mineral Company'.
But he did not expect that his caravan had just been almost formed and had not even started to be used, but it was "retired" along with the magic airship that passed through the town of Danik in Calais.
This made Qin Xiang speechless and look up at the sky.
However, Okita's plan was indeed good, and he voted in favor of it.
"Brother Qin, continue to form your caravan."
In order to appease the founding financier, Okita went directly to the expeditionary camp to continue persuading him to form a caravan.
"The airship's carrying capacity is limited, so it is definitely only suitable for some high-value items. However, the main communication and trading will probably still rely on ground caravans. As the map expands, our caravans will be able to spread all over the world!"
Okita had already prepared a statement, which made Qin Xiang nod his head.
"Yes, that's what I thought. By the way, what about Diablo? With his spellcasting ability, if we have the airship built, it would be best if he leads the team."
"Well, I told him that he will definitely be in charge of the first airship."
Okita himself has no capital, nor does he have the popularity of Diablo, so his main task on weekdays is to make various connections. Now he has fully glued together such a large team that has received investments from multiple parties.
Now, the "Abyss Mineral Company" is the number one force among the players in the internal test. Although there are teams formed by Fruit, Mote, Moshu, SX Company, etc. abroad, there are also teams like Ahri in China that have invested in the "Abyss Mineral Company" and formed a second team.
But they were temporarily suppressed by the mineral company that had taken the lead.
The largest number of enchanters is the powerful trump card of the Abyss Mineral Company, and also the basis for them to produce equipment and build airships.
At least before the full public beta, this company, which is centered around Qin Xiang's connections and has received most of the domestic capital investment, will always maintain a clear leading advantage.
It is said that several foreign teams are now discussing partnership.
Because when we can mobilize our resource advantages, we can create a snowball effect...
…
Not to mention that players just saw Calais' magic airship and started considering copying it, and have already started project planning.
In the city of Dunnor, William also learned through the Merchant Guild that the savages in the town of Danik were clearing out the goblins.
"Humph, maybe it's some kind of evil cult. I hope you can stand up to investigation!"
As a wizard, William should have some resistance to theocracy.
But this time I fell so hard!
Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost his best friend Jin Hu.
Fortunately, we have received more specific information from the savages and have roughly grasped the whereabouts of the "Magic Blood Warlock".
This is also a blessing in disguise.
Sure enough, a temporary defeat is nothing, time will prove who the winner is!
After packaging the information about the 'Magic Blood Warlock' and the new intelligence about the savages, and then sending them back to the Calais Federation through the Merchant Guild's communication array, William himself breathed a sigh of relief and regained his confidence.
"He is a great warlock whose bloodline is in conflict. With the promise of the Blood Melting Stone in hand, he will definitely be able to be recruited. He will definitely give you a big surprise before he leaves!"
After muttering for a while, William changed his clothes, making himself look like an ordinary businessman. He hurriedly walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and headed towards the target area.
The airship was about to depart. Count Luke must be serious about asking him to go with him. He had to hurry...
…
The sign of Weber Tailor is still hanging outside, swaying in the wind. It is inconspicuous on this street, but it is definitely a time-honored brand.
Even nobles like to find Master Weber to customize their own dresses, and there are even nobles from other places who come here to order.
However, so many people don’t know that this old man who looks like he may die at any time is actually a great sorcerer with amazing strength!
It's just that the original blood conflict caused problems for his body, so he had been hiding here, using the characteristics of the Dunno commercial city to collect materials and try various experiments.
It was not until I met a noble person not long ago that I was able to solve my problems.
"The days are getting more and more promising..."
Weber finished making the clothes very elegantly and was in a very happy mood.
Since he had basically solved his own problems, he was quite happy every day and even went to some romantic places for entertainment for the first time.
Proved that his skills are still as good as ever.
"Although the blood conflict problem has been solved, we can still consider leaving some blood inheritance..."
Just as he gracefully completed his sewing, the bell outside also indicated the arrival of a new guest.
After completing a stitch, Weber came to the door and prepared to say a welcome word, but soon he raised his white eyebrows.
Another mage, and he doesn't seem to be restrained at all. He must be a high-level mage.
This kind of gaze looking at him, and deliberately emitting his own aura, there is no doubt that his vest has fallen off again.
However, with the previous experience, he didn't care about being discovered this time. The problem had been solved, and he could even display his full strength. He had no worries!
"Young man, since you have found me, I may be able to meet one of your small conditions. Just tell me what you want to say."
Waver had an unfathomable expression on his face.
I pretended to fail in front of Master Yi at the beginning, but it is impossible to fail every time!
The target this time was different from Master Yi last time. He unbridled his full aura without restraint. Judging from the fluctuation and control of his aura, he was not an old guy pretending to be young. He was undoubtedly a high-level magician.
"Should I call you Master Weber, or Your Excellency 'Blood Warlock'?"
William smiled confidently, he had found the right one!
The other party is a great warlock who is also good at tailoring and enchanting. If he is hiding, it is most likely a tailor shop.
Use the method of elimination to find the target, check the time, and you can easily lock on to the target.
The difficulty of this intelligence is actually to lock on to the enemy in Dunno City. Once confirmed, it becomes easier to find.
"'Blood Warlock' is a thing of the past. You can just call me Webber."
Weber had a calm expression and a detached mentality.
"Master Weber, I'm from the Calais Federation, and I came to see you this time because our overseas team accidentally found a blood-melting stone..."
Although William knew that the other party was a great warlock who was much stronger than him, he had a calm expression when he knew what the other party wanted.
For warlocks with blood conflicts, blood melting stone is absolutely an irresistible temptation.
He was confident that he could win over any great warlock who had problems with this promise!
The reason why we arranged to come here to look for the 'Magic Blood Warlock' this time is because in addition to his strength, his tailoring and enchanting abilities are quite strong, and his cost-effectiveness is extremely high, almost not inferior to those chosen warlocks with perfect skill connections!
"Blood-melting stone?"
Even though Weber had already found a solution to his bloodline problem, he couldn't help but show a moved look on his face.
I had been looking for this thing very hard at the beginning.
But this thing is too rare and there is absolutely no market for it.
When they occasionally appear, they are usually bought by peers at high prices.
In the past, he almost always followed the news about the Blood-Melting Stone and went wherever there were rumors of its appearance.
But unfortunately, I missed it every time.
There was even an empire that used this as a threat and wanted him to sign a very harsh soul contract, but he angrily refused and then came to the city of Dunno to look for his own way to break the problem.
Even though the problem has been solved now, and it is better than the blood-melting stone solution.
But after hearing about this thing, he still felt a sigh and recalled the difficult years in the past.
"This thing is indeed useful to me. Tell me, what do you want to do..."
Even though the problem has been largely solved now, Weber still doesn't mind keeping one just in case.
In fact, most of the blood-melting stones are in such a state. Even if they are useless, they will be collected by warlocks and kept tightly.
After all, no one is sure whether they will be able to use it in the future.
Weber didn't mind preparing one, but he was also a little curious about their purpose.
If he provokes me again at this time, I will just kill him...
"We have also heard about your past with the Oss Empire, so we, the Calais Federation, will not make such a request. We are only sincerely inviting you to join our federation and will directly give you a place in the Council of Elders."
William said sincerely that the conditions were indeed quite generous, and it was typical that he really wanted to make Weber one of his own.
At the beginning, the Oss Empire relied on a blood-melting stone to force Weber, who had a blood conflict, to do something.
As a result, this guy not only ran away, but also caused massive destruction in several cities in the Os Empire due to the backlash. He is still wanted by the Os Empire.
However, this kind of wanted notice is useless except at close range. No one would choose to be an enemy of a great warlock for such a thing.
Therefore, the Calais Federation will naturally learn from its lesson and choose "sincerity" as its greatest killer move.
After hearing William's words, Weber's expression eased a lot.
The Calais Federation does have some sincerity, which is not bad.
In fact, he had considered settling in the Calais Federation at the beginning, but the proportion of mages there was too high, and it would be too easy to be exposed and cause trouble, so he chose the city of Dunno.
"The conditions are not bad. I am not a conservative person. If you can bring the blood-melting stone first, it would be fine to sign some simple agreements and restrictions."
Weber nodded with a smile.
This made William happy, and then he said nervously
"I can naturally help you apply for this in advance, but I have encountered some troubles in Dunno City and will be leaving on the airship soon..."
After hearing William's words, Weber sneered to himself, young man, you are too deliberate in doing things.
He knew that the other party most likely had some personal troubles and asked him for help.
But it doesn’t matter. It was indeed this kid who found me , and in the city of Dunno, there are not many things I need to worry about now.
Even if he was facing Count Luke, although he was strong, he was also a pure physics expert. Even if he couldn't beat him, he could just disgust him and then run away.
"It's just a small matter. Tell me what's bothering you and I'll help you solve it..."
