In Bolu's eyes, the pier of Xingdao looks very original: it is just a fairly wide stone embankment. If you don't look at the center of Xingdao not far away, which is like a CBD and is full of towering mage towers, except at the end of the stone embankment
Outside of a magic tower that doubled as a lighthouse, there was almost no trace of magic here, which made him feel a little disappointed.
No amount of stone embankments and lighthouses will do.
It's like the feeling of looking at SOHO from the Shuanghuayuan train section - an illusion that the prosperity and advancedness cannot radiate here.
"It's not like I've never worked in a place like this."
There was no fluctuation in his heart.
By the way, if there were no huge shining crystals in the city and the magic flow that shot straight into the sky and turned the dark clouds into whirlpools, he would feel very disappointed - only simple towers could not move his heart. Runes, magic circles
, the giant golem, at least the surface must be covered with traveling arcs to meet his imagination of a magical holy land.
As the Dido and the New Kono slowly decelerated and advanced at a very low speed not far from the dock of Star Island, the Dido suddenly vibrated, and the hull seemed to shift uncontrollably.
You can clearly feel that the bridge is beginning to shift!
Bolu's face suddenly turned white. He rushed to the communication station and pressed the button: "Each watertight compartment immediately inspects the bulkhead and reports the damage! How can you hit something right in front of the dock!"
"
He didn't look back, he just shouted: "Get out quickly! Get ready to get on the lifeboat!"
"etc!"
Hearing this voice, he turned back to look at Zhu Yiwei, only to see that Zhu Yiwei and Pauleicht were not panicked, but just looked at him with hesitant eyes. This made Bolu even more anxious:
"Why are you looking at me? Why are you so dazed when I'm on the rocks!"
"Wait, don't panic, we didn't hit the rocks, the Dido is very safe now!"
At the same time, the voices of each watertight cabin reporting in turn came from the magic circle behind Bolu. Basically, there was only one sentence:
"Report from watertight cabin No. x, everything is normal."
This made Bolu completely confused. With an embarrassed look on his face, he slowly closed the cover of the communication button: "So what's going on? What was that vibration just now?"
"This is just a force field pulling us into the harbor. This force field will send us directly to a suitable parking location."
"Okay...so why didn't anyone tell me in advance?"
"I thought he said that."
Zhu Yiwei pointed at Pauleicht, who opened his mouth but did not dare to answer.
"..."
Since it was not about to sink, it was no big deal. After figuring out what was going on, Polu relaxed and experienced this magical way of entering the port.
"It feels a bit overkill. The last time I heard about this method, it was a fleet docking in a science fiction novel."
He asked: "Before it was attacked by magic, it seems that this traction field used to enter the port was the magic in charge of Xingdao Pier?"
"Isn't force field magic enough to be used as a port facade?"
"That's not really true. The main reason is that I can't see any visual effects, and it always feels like it doesn't match the status of the Magical Holy Land."
Coupled with the tall tower behind it, it feels very fitting to say that it is a science fiction character.
"The force field spell is not that simple. Today, it can gently pull a ship under guidance, or it can turn into a wall to resist attacks. The force field itself can even turn into a weapon to sweep across the sea."
"So doesn't force field magic mean you are invincible?"
"Invincible? The force field's demand for magic power supply is second only to the portal. By the way, the shield blocking the large hole is also a force field. Now you know why you keep delivering high-quality crystals to Star Island, right?
"
"I understand, although it is strong, it is a bottomless pit of resources."
"That's right."
"Then as long as the energy supply is sufficient, wouldn't the force field be indestructible?"
"As long as you can control it."
"Is it so difficult?"
While the two were chatting, the Kono III had already docked at the dock first - it had cargo that needed to be unloaded.
After the Kono sank, Poru weighed it up and simply gave the new cargo ship to Xingdao. One of the conditions was to let Richard take his new sailors who were not very skilled to go back to work. At the same time,
In exchange for an opportunity to enter the first floor of the library - both parties felt that they had earned it.
Richard was really a man who did not believe in evil. After accepting the ship, he named the ship Kono again, and its official name was Kono III.
As for his own cargo ship, he plans to build a larger and more advanced self-unloader - anyway, the foreseeable bulk cargo will be ore. If he relies on manpower to load and unload the ore to meet the demand, Polu thinks it will only take a few days for dock workers
You have to develop indictment literature - the kind in which you are the villain.
The workers who came to load and unload were already pushing pallets and waiting on the pier next to the New Kono. This was not surprising. For such a large island, logistics always requires ordinary people to maintain it. It really surprised me.
When I moved the flour buckets by myself, I always felt there was something strange about it. But the pallet truck was still a little... too primitive.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing Bolu's expression, Zhu Yiwei felt a little strange. She looked at the pier again: "Is there anything wrong with this place?"
"Ah, it just doesn't feel consistent with my imagination of Star Island. There is no cargo transmission or automatic logistics here. All materials have to be transported by workers pushing trolleys when they get off the ship. When other ships come, I'm afraid they have to go from
Should we move it down on the ship? Such a big star island is already a magical holy land after all. How can loading and unloading still rely on manpower and trolleys? At least some golems?"
"A few ships come in a month, and the manpower is not enough? And don't underestimate this little cart, it can also be regarded as a magic equipment."
"What? Magic cart? Are you kidding me?"
"See for yourself."
At this time, Kono III had already opened the deck hatch, and the attached crane hoisted the first tray of flour from the cargo hold to the pier. The flour bucket weighing one ton was slowly falling, and a worker pushed his
The small truck came forward and firmly caught the pallet, which was wider than the pallet, from under the pallet with extremely skillful movements.
"Niubi, this little cart is strong enough. Can he pull it by himself? How can he catch it so accurately? So skillfully? No, there are no cranes or winches on the dock. When there were no cranes in the past,
How do these things get unloaded?”
Zhu Yiwei supported the railing and looked at the busy scene in front of her: "You really don't know anything at all? When there are a lot of goods and you are in a hurry, there will be mages on duty to help, and they will add slow-fall spells to the goods. Others
Push the goods out from the deck, and the goods will naturally fall to the dock. The more you push the small carts, the workers will naturally become proficient."
Bolu was dumbfounded. He watched intently as the worker untied the rope hanging on the pallet and grabbed the handle of the pallet. The flour bucket on the pallet was too high and he couldn't see ahead.
He had no choice but to turn his back on the road. No matter how hard he tried, he turned the cart 180 degrees. With a relaxed expression, he stood in front of the cart, pulling the cart that was taller than him.
The flour bucket ran very fast, heading towards the warehouse not far away.
Bolu was confused in the wind: "Is this really a magic cart?"
"Didn't we all mention enchantment? The person who originally built this wanted to make the cargo plank float, but later found that it was too expensive. This extremely wasteful project of materials and energy was... How do you say that word? Yes
, shot. But the consumption of making the cart easier to push is still acceptable."
"You must be sick! The trolley is enchanted to the point that you all think it's a waste? Isn't that the same virtue as enchanting a carriage? Isn't your idea too far-fetched?"
As soon as Bolu finished roaring in his heart, he shamelessly initiated a loan application.
"But it seems to work very well. I want to try it. Can you lend me one?"
