563 quota allocation
For Turner, or the senior management of Hongcheng, giving Soya a batch of old models of equipment is nothing. Anyway, it is all obsolete products that are troublesome to remel and rebuild. You can free up several warehouses for Soya.
What really interested Turner was Sawyer's ability. If Sawyer really had the ability to transport materials to the land of no end at an extremely low price, then it would be of great value to Red City and even the entire west of the city.
Between the seven major rings and other small rings, there is a responsibility and obligation to help each other. Taking Hongcheng as an example, Hongcheng will transport some dwarf machinery to other rings every year, and other rings will also transport some unique minerals and metals to Hongcheng.
However, due to various restrictions, the transportation of these materials is extremely limited.
The distance between the various rings is very far apart, and due to the width of the gray fog passage and the isolation of unstable areas, the scale and transportation efficiency of the transport team are extremely limited, and the use of a long-distance transmission in an endless place is also extremely limited. The main problem is how to preserve resources.
Theoretically, when entering the land of no end, everyone can carry a lot of supplies. As long as they use their own strength to pull the materials to be transported, they can enter the land of no end together.
But the problem is that when entering the land of no end, you have to go through a "test". When the teleportation enters the land of no end, you will pass through a chaotic area full of time and space storms. You must resist the invasion of time and space storms in order to completely enter and exit the land of no end.
For individuals, having the defensive power of the title knight can protect the whole body. At most, you need to pay some extra strength to protect the clothes on your body. However, if you want to bring more non-living substances, the intensity of the time and space storm will increase in geometric multiples.
For ordinary lords, the materials that can bring into the land of no end each time are no more than three times their own body size. Only lord-level spellcasters like Annoke, who prepare a magic array for most of the day in advance, can take away a large amount of materials at one time, or use high-strength materials to create transport boxes to resist time and space storms like Red City. When entering and leaving the land of no end, the lord only needs to distribute a small amount of power to protect himself.
But the cost of both methods is very high. Arnoke's magic circles require a large amount of precious spell casting materials every time. The transportation box in Hongcheng is even more disposable. The cost of each transportation box is not lower than the value of the transportation materials. Unless it is an emergency, the material transportation will not be transported without end.
If Sawyer can really use the land of no end to transmit a large amount of materials by paying less, then it will be of great effect for the entire city system.
Think about it, when millions of dwarf machinery in each ring city help defend the city, every ring city can be freely circulated in the entire ring city system, and every ring city...
"Stop!" Looking at Turner who was straightforward and quick-looking, Sawy quickly spoke and interrupted his imagination, "I just said the price was small, and it wasn't without a price!"
He doesn't want to be a humanoid portal!
"No problem!" Turner patted Sawyer's shoulder generously, "Where is the price we can help you with, Hongcheng! You just need to be responsible for transmitting materials!"
Looking at Turner's straightforward expression, Sawy suddenly felt a headache: Mom, honest people, it's so terrible!
"The problem is, you can't afford this price..."
Sawyer sighed. He had already thought of the reason before he spoke, and this "price" was definitely something that the Seven Rings could not afford.
"What's the price? Don't worry, Sawyer, if it's a specialty from other cities, I believe they are willing to contribute to the whole world!"
Turner still didn't give up, but Sawy sighed, changed into a slouching expression and raised his head: "Do you have the leaves of the World Tree?"
"Isn't it just the World Tree... Uh, what did you say?"
"The leaves of the World Tree," Sawyer sighed again, "You should know what the World Tree is, right?"
"Of course!" Turner nodded, and it took three seconds to react, showing a surprised look, "Can you get close to the World Tree?"
"If you ask the witch, you will know that I actually have a little connection with the World Tree."
Sawyer looked solemn: For example, what you call the "world tree" was planted by me.
"And in some special circumstances, I was able to obtain a leaf of a world tree."
Sawyer sighed again: Well, it's really special, for example, when I suddenly wanted to blow the leaves and play with it.
"And every leaf of the world tree allows me to bring a lot of supplies to the endless land."
When he said this, Sawy's eyes turned a little aside. After all, he made up this sentence.
However, Turner believed it. After all, in his perception, it was a great opportunity to be able to get close to the World Tree, let alone "finding" fallen leaves around the World Tree. However, he is more concerned about another question now: "How many leaves do you have in the World Tree?"
"Twenty-four pieces," Sawyer said casually, and added, "I have all left under the World Tree."
"In this way... I can't make any decision on this matter, I need to discuss it with others."
Turner said, and was about to take Saoya to the elevator. Saoya had to remind him: "Go directly to the tower and let the witch call the others."
"right!"
Turner nodded heavily and glanced at Saoya with gratitude. If Saoya didn't say it, this honest man would definitely go to find the other three Red City Lords in person.
However, Sawy's so-called "others" refer not only to the three lords of Red City, but also to the four ancient kings and the lords of Green City and Black City. After all, this matter is too important for the entire ring system. Even if the number of teleportation times is extremely limited, the top leaders of the seven ring cities have to gather together to discuss it.
As Sawyer expected, the news quickly spread to the high-level officials of the Seven Rings through the witch. In just half an hour later, the tower of Red City was filled with figures of flames.
However, the mutual disputes that Sawyer imagined did not appear. After asking about Soyer's details about "the leaves of the World Tree", and after a brief discussion, he quickly discussed the main tone of this "transportation operation".
First of all, the number of teleportation times. Although Soya has twenty-four world trees leaves, in fact, every time she enters and leaves the land without end, she needs to consume a leaf. In other words, Soya can only complete twelve teleportations.
So, the next discussion is about how to allocate these twelve "slots".
The principle of distribution is very simple and fair. The first point is "to pay as much as you get", and the second point is the principle of "concentration first and then distribution". In other words, the major ring cities first transmit the materials to be transported to the land of no end through Soya, and then redistribute them in the land of no end, and then transport them to each ring city through Soya.
The "quota" for each ring city was quickly settled. Among them, Hongcheng won four quotas because the dwarf machinery was too popular. Jincheng, as the largest and most materials, and also the largest demand, obtained two quotas. In addition, Sawyer, as the "city lord" of Blue City, also won two quotas for Blue City.
The other four circles have only one place.
As for Sawyer's own quota?
Sorry, no.
As for the reason, it was because Sawyer himself said: "The leaves of this World Tree are not easy to find. I stayed in the Land of Endlessness for three years before I found twenty-four leaves. Moreover, the frequency of leaves falling from the World Tree is getting lower and lower. I don't know how long it will take to find the leaves of the World Tree next time I find it."
Therefore, in accordance with the principle of being in a hurry to follow the power, the witch and the four ancient kings directly canceled Soya's quota and used all their resources to strengthen the power of the city.
However, the four ancient kings and witches also made a promise to Sawyer that from now on, the warehouses of the seven rings of cities will be open to him without restrictions. As long as he needs them, he can directly enter any rings of cities and take them by himself. In addition, the four lords of Hongcheng also promised Sawyer that Hongcheng would reserve a high-quality dwarf creation for Sawyer. When he obtains the leaves of the World Tree again, he can come to Hongcheng to take them away directly.
"Shooted my own foot!"
Sawyer was crying but still cried. He originally thought that at least he could leave a quota of supplies for him, but he never expected that in the end, he only received a blank check.
And he couldn't regret it. If he had said now that he could transport supplies without limits, he might have been used as a human-shaped portal and spent several months specifically transporting supplies to various cities around him.
Even if he "accidentally" gets the leaves of the new World Tree again, he will have to wait for a while. After all, the four ancient kings are not fools. If he had just transported supplies for the seven major rings of cities, he would have taken out two more leaves of the World Tree to Hongcheng to "pick up the goods", would he be beaten?
It seemed that Sawyer was depressed, and Royna finally gave Sawyer some compensation: "You can get one percent of the supplies obtained by Blue City."
With Royna's words, Sawyer was in a better mood. One percent of the amount was actually enough for him. He could now take away goods from a small warehouse at a time. If it was converted into volume, it would be more than 10,000 square meters. Even if he could only take one percent of the supplies in Blue City, there would be more than 200 cubic meters of supplies. If it was replaced with various dwarf mechanical parts, it would be enough to spell out more than 300 dwarf mechanical balls or more than fifty dwarf centurions.
However, this amount is not enough to be seen in the entire ring city system. If the materials of the four units are replaced with parts of the dwarf centurion, it will only be eight thousand dwarf centurions. Even Jincheng and Lancheng, which have two quotas, can only get two thousand dwarf centurions.
Blue City itself has more than 4,000 great knights. Even if there are two thousand more dwarf centurions, it will only increase Blue City's overall strength by about 20%. For the more powerful Jincheng, the increase is less than 10%.
What's more, after the seven major rings have allocated supplies, they have to transport some resources to the nearby small rings, and the resources they have left may not even be half.
In other words, the effect of this material transportation is far from reaching the point where the major cities are restless. At most, the defense systems of each city can be more stable.
Even Sawyer was thinking about whether to get more leaves of the World Tree. As for the reason... it may be that the world tree secretion has too much abscisic acid recently?
But just after thinking this way, whether it was Sawyer or other senior executives in the ring city, they actually knew in their hearts that solving the troubles of the Black Tide was only a solution to the urgent need, and the real crisis in this world was never caused by the Black Tide.
After the brief meeting, the seven major rings became busy. In addition to the Hongcheng, each ring was trying its best to collect various materials - mainly collecting specialties from small rings. As for the materials that the seven major rings themselves need to be transported, they were ready as early as the same day.
Hongcheng was not idle either. The dwarf engineers stopped the production line and instead dismantled the dwarf machinery that had been built. In order to save transportation space, the materials paid by Hongcheng this time will be transported in the form of mechanical parts.
Of course, Hongcheng did not forget to provide supporting services. They also assembled six teams of engineers, escorted by strong men to the other six ring cities overnight. These teams of engineers will carry out assembly operations on the spot after Hongcheng supplies arrived.
As for the upcoming Red City Black Tide...
After throwing millions of dwarf machinery out of the city, these dwarves completely ignored the black tide.
He is really rich and willful in another world.
During this period, Sawyer was not idle, but kept teleporting between Hongcheng and Blue City. Although he could not transport large quantities of supplies openly, it was still okay to take away only one container of supplies at a time. Moreover, he is still the nominal "Fifth King" and would not doubt him even if he teleported four or five times a day.
So in just three days, Sawyah transported more than 500 parties of goods to Blue City. This efficiency made the four lords of Hong City twitch. What a terrifying efficiency would it be if a king devoted himself to the transportation industry.
Sawyer himself also discovered that it seemed that by relying on his "normal" ability to bring goods, he could get more things than Royna "rewards" to him.
So Sawyer was so proud that he waved his hand and returned the one-percent “reward” to Lancheng.
However, three days later, when the seven major rings prepared the supplies, Soya had to give up the career of moving goods to his home and turned into a "time and space courier" to help the seven major rings transport supplies. This time, another three days passed.
