Standing on the control panel of the tugboat flowing down the river, Polu looked back at the rows of boats tied with ropes in two rows and filled with crystal ore. He felt as if he was in a dream.
Such a big deal was negotiated so easily?
He couldn't help but think back to what happened in the mine.
When Zhu Yiwei looked like a goddess under Bodin's gaze, using magic to hold herself up and floating to the ground, more than half of the business had been completed.
Mages have always been the largest buyers and users of crystals, and now the scene of direct contact is unexpected by Bodan. After all, mages are not a nerd profession that rarely travel around the mainland.
Xingdao's huge appetite and strong financial resources were also unimaginable to him. After all, when the masters needed money, they would just make various jewelry and scrolls with various functions. They were very functional, and they were not afraid that rich people would not support them.
Therefore, magicians make money faster than alchemists! After all, no one wants to own jewelry that combines functions such as shields and storage. As for the price, it is full of the premium style of luxury goods.
“Is it really all-inclusive?”
"Of course it's true. Xingdao never refuses legal mineral sources."
Soon, the deal was concluded. Star Island needed crystals, and Lord Bodin needed weapons, armor, tools, and preferably wine. In the southwest mountainous area, it is humid, rainy, and cold. These rough men can live without wine.
They can't go down. And where is the food in this place enough for them to make wine and drink all day long?
Soon, the two parties hit it off, and Bolu was able to get enough benefits from the business. The weapons and armor naturally had to be landed on Bolu, and the crystals also needed to be transported from Hongshan.
Shan brought a large order.
Originally, Bolu wanted to sell Hongshan's standard dagger, but Bodin just glanced at it and said, "Humph, a sissy's weapon."
"...?"
"Then what kind of weapons do you need?"
"Have you seen my stick?" He shook the big stick full of waghhhh power: "At least it has this weight! A hammer or an ax will do, but I don't want a knife! I like rust, and it's easy to break when cutting things, so it won't work.
no."
"Do you want something for cutting wood? Do you want a sickle or a hoe for farming?" Bolu was still trying to open up a new business. But he was thinking in his mind: "I like hammers, okay! I have long wanted to make a hammer.
I’m afraid no one will want it!”
"The hatchet is too expensive, don't want it!"
"It's very cheap now! Just exchange it for mineral sand! It's the same mineral sand we bought before!"
"Oh? This can be discussed." Bodin looked very reckless, but he was obviously a smart man. He refused to pay for it, but if it can be exchanged for waste mines, especially since these mines are not available here.
When you use it, anything you can exchange for it is good. If you don't like it, you can sell it to other people.
The three parties quickly finalized a cooperation intention, and each got what they needed. Since there was no need to spend real money, it was natural for you and me to do it at this time. Leonardo's face was put here, and Bodin agreed to let Polu
Bring back a batch of ore first. Anyway, the total value is not as valuable as a few high-grade crystals with a diameter of 10 cm.
As for this kind of crystal, Zhu Yiwei swept away the inventory that the craftsmen secretly kept in the cellar without being discovered by the men in black. It was a terrifying astronomical figure to convert into gold coins. When it was time to pay the bill, she directly touched it from her sleeves.
He produced two small ingots: "Okay, based on the discount, the standard fine gold ingots from Xingdao here are enough."
Everyone was shocked to the point of standing still: "Sure, just use such high-level magic materials to pay the bill?"
On the contrary, Zhu Yiwei felt that everyone was very strange: "Otherwise, with so many high-level crystals, would I have to bring in a boatload of useless gold coins?"
This made the poor Polu feel a pain in his heart: "Useless gold coins! Listen to this tone! The masters are domineering and arrogant!"
Credit settlement is imminent!
Bodan was very happy. Although they had a lot of ore, their processing and refining capabilities were very problematic. This ingot, if evenly divided, was enough to improve their equipment a lot. Bolu made a promise in his heart that he would give Bodan a lot of ore.
Dan has the desire to make money from all the materials he has.
Bolu shook his head, returned to the real world, and asked her directly: "Is Star Island's demand for high-quality crystals so great?"
Zhu Yiwei nodded, her hair fluttering in the oncoming river wind: "It's very big. Speaking of which, I was originally here to solve the crystal problem? Xingdao is always short of high-quality crystals. Now our synthesis research
I haven’t succeeded yet, but it’s rare to see so many high-quality crystals, so there’s no need to hesitate to buy them directly.”
"Whether it's natural or artificial, as long as it can be put into the pot, it's a good dish! I happened to catch this mine, so I bought this batch of materials. If there are still more, we will buy them! This trip is worth it, so much
The crystal is enough to be consumed by the island in a year, and from what he said, it seems that there is still more?"
"He said there are still some in the cave, but they haven't been picked yet."
Bolu's face was expressionless, thinking in his mind: "Should we buy some mining machinery? It sounds very profitable?"
Going upstream is like losing weight, and going downstream is like losing weight.
It only took half the time for Polu to see the tall chimneys exposed on the horizon. A worker fishing on the pier saw the fleet coming back. He jumped up and waved to the fleet.
He put down his fishing rod and ran into the shipyard.
As he ran, he shouted loudly: "The fleet is back! The fleet is back!"
"So fast! Let's go to the dock!"
"Let's go, let's come back later and continue. I'm sure I need help now!"
"Wait, let me turn off the air valve first!"
Soon, a large group of workers rushed out and headed towards the dock.
Seeing this familiar scene, Polu felt a little warm in his heart. He recalled the arduous scenes during this short journey. As a traveler, he felt at ease and relaxed when he returned to Hongshan.
.
“It feels like there’s always somewhere to go, which isn’t bad.”
Gradually approaching the pier, seeing the people waving around the pier, Polu raised his hand and sounded the whistle!
"First load the boat onto the tractor and transport it to my laboratory!"
Polu found Case and assigned him a top-priority job. He turned around and told his companions that all other matters were left to little Irene, and then followed the tractor towards the laboratory.
"The wharf currently relies on manpower for loading and unloading. This is not good. It seems that a wharf is going to be built. But I am not familiar with the wharf. Forget it, I just need to build a few cranes first. How can bulk ore be transported?
Conveyor belt?”
Before he could figure out what was going on, he had already arrived at the entrance of the laboratory. He recorded the work in a small notebook and left it for later, and walked into the laboratory.
This kind of small boat that can also be driven by itself means that the enemy not only has alchemists, but the opponent has actively requested to become the enemy and has mastered a considerable degree of technology, which puts great pressure on him.
After he led his urgently summoned assistants to dismantle the boat with the most complete structure into wooden pieces, Polu, who had been pondering for a long time before he understood the power structure of these boats, had only four big words in his mind!
“Are you crazy!?”
"Is this a fucking personal rocket control? I thought it was some kind of high technology!"
The principle is quite simple. The entire hull is a huge energy-gathering array. All the energy is concentrated into one array to generate violent flames, and finally it is sprayed backward through the duct. It is rough and effective.
However, the messy seams, the copper bottle bound by iron bars, and the thin nozzle look more like a one-way express from hell! Is it really not going to explode halfway through the spray?
So this is a magic Manto flying seat! It will carry people forward with a little bit of butt! Rather than saying it is a ship, it is better to say it is a manned surface rocket! Only Showa Oman and Midori can do this kind of thing.
The Pi Conference is willing to open it!
Although his heart was filled with a strong desire to complain, it still alerted him that there were people in the local area who were studying these weird things. Rubbing machines with bare hands was not his own patent. With so many service-oriented alchemists, there would always be one or two outliers.
Bar?
And as long as it doesn't explode, it will still work very effectively, and can even chase down Polu's tugboat on the river. However, the disadvantage is also obvious: once the energy-gathering array on the hull is destroyed, this power will be paralyzed on the spot.
"No wonder such a small ship has to set up a shield. If we can't break the shield and destroy the energy-gathering array on the hull, it will still be very effective if it hasn't exploded by this time. Speaking of which, this thing is so
Horrible, where did they come from and they didn’t break down on the road??”
Although this unknown warlock has embarked on an inappropriate path, what kind of thing is not trial and error in experiments when he just started?
Bolu couldn't help but admire this product that seemed to be full of goblin temperament.
"Anyway, I don't have the courage to push myself forward with this!"
After sighing, Polu couldn't help but feel a little pity. If he hadn't been burned into a pile, such a bold but basically controlled ability would definitely have better development in Hongshan.
"Why doesn't he sit down and talk, or come to Hongshan to make inventions together? If he wants to buy a boat hull, I can't consider it. Why does he have to choose to use force and become my enemy? Isn't it a good life?
"
Polu couldn't help but think a few more steps. What's the complication of being powerful? If you think you're so good, you'll just become lawless? Is this the law of the jungle?
Or is it because of the inertia of thinking that has been serving the great nobles? What do you want to obtain and directly ask for it? After all, it is difficult for an alchemist to break away from dependence on the person he serves. Unless the alchemist is powerful enough to control the production method?
It seems that he is also serving the largest noble leader in Casadoria? So when the interests of the service object conflict, it will be inevitable to conflict with other alchemists?
Although Polu scorned the establishment of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, with the current productivity, other production methods cannot be established at all! Although it feels that the things he has created are more and more like Irving's utopian practice...
After all, the economic base determines the superstructure. In the current situation, after leaving Hongshan, Bolu feels that even the Northern Song Dynasty cannot catch up with the economic level, and those thoughts are of no use for the time being!
"Hey, why do you think so much? Let's survive first." He touched the human-controlled rocket.
Wait, man-controlled rocket? Rocket? The whistling sound of the pipe organ sounded in Bolu's mind.
