    Yuan Benchu ??felt that Amy had spent many days here, but in fact the time spent in the real space was not very short. It was like watching a movie. This feeling was very strange.

    To set off from Hormuz, the southernmost port of the Freljord, and sail north, it would take several months at the fastest speed. Of course, the end point would be the northern wasteland of Bangalor Orc Empire.

    For this reason, Amy chose a route to sail along the coast, firstly to facilitate supplies; secondly, to avoid being attacked by deep-sea monsters.

    "A long voyage is different from ordinary fishing operations. If you are not familiar with the conditions around the route, no one will know what accidents may occur. Amy decided to make some preparations beforehand.

    The alchemists of this era have built a complete set of scientific research technologies. The field of navigation is subject to the influence of many factors and has always been at a low level, but it does not hinder the inventions of alchemy madmen.

    Ships have always used sails and paddles to brake, which had great limitations. Therefore, when the maritime trade was booming, the leaders of large business associations spent a lot of money to find a group of alchemists to develop a power device.

    It must be said that alchemists from other worlds are very similar to scientists from Earth. With scientific research funds, hundreds of alchemists from all over the world racked their brains and finally invented the "magic turbine power system".

    The energy consumed is magic crystal!  This set of equipment is in the hands of some large business associations, and the actual performance parameters have not been announced, not even officially!

    This magical turbine power system can make the ship reach a speed of 12 knots!  It can travel 12 nautical miles per hour, which is unmatched by original ships.

    When Amy learned about the existence of this kind of equipment, she felt very deeply. The wisdom of the indigenous people in the alien world was already on par with modern people, and may be stronger than the people on earth in some aspects.

    In terms of scientific research level alone, the route used by alchemists is magic technology, which is essentially the same as modern science.

    In the meeting hall, Amy determined the sailing route. With Anthony's explanation, she turned her attention to the power equipment to ensure the voyage.

    "Sir Anthony, the magic turbine power system you mentioned was built in Hormoc?" Would such a high-tech thing be possible in a devastated city?  Not to mention that the local residents have just reached enough food and clothing, and the shipbuilding industry has not recovered at all. It is too unrealistic to build such a valuable ship.

    A sailboat is just a sailboat, it just takes a longer time, it doesn¡¯t matter.

    Since our experts can say that preparations for the Magic Turbine Power System must have been made, Hormuz is not without its merits.

    After all, Zengjin had prospered before, and the base for developing this equipment was set up here. The reason why Anthony knew this was because he was very close to Douglas, the chief alchemist of this development plan, and learned about it in a conversation.  This technology.

    "Sir, the Douglas who developed this technology is a native of Hormoc, and he lives here. Because the shipping business has been repeatedly blocked by the sea tribe, there are very few orders for the magic turbine power system, and production has been stopped.  ." The alchemist lost the research and development funds of the large consortium and his source of livelihood. Douglas, who had studied the magic turbine power system for a lifetime, was ruthlessly abandoned.

    Because except for the excellent alchemy items at sea, the others are useless, and profit-oriented businessmen will not raise waste.

    The former chief alchemist has been reduced to a lower-class civilian and is retiring in Hormuc. Anthony met him not long ago.

    "Oh? Then I'm going to visit in person. You can continue to discuss the details of the voyage. Mr. Anthony and I will go to Mr. Douglas together." Amy was very excited that the technology expert was actually in her own territory. In the previous life, for scientists  He highly admires it. The reason why the world is changing rapidly is that it is closely connected with high technology.

    His childhood dream was to be a scientist!  It's a pity that I don't have that life.

    Asked Aaron to prepare some food, Amy and Anthony went together with only a few followers to carry the gifts.

    While chatting on the road, Amy learned that Douglas had not been doing well in recent years. The port was blocked, the flow of people was small, and the local civilians were in a difficult situation.

    No one cares about alchemy items at all. If he hadn't been friendly to others and often helped others when he was successful in the past, he might have died of hunger now.

    The help of his neighbors helped him overcome the difficulties. People often say that scientists have poor ability to take care of themselves, and it is true!  Fortunately, Anthony, an expert bard, has friends everywhere.

    It corresponds to the slang saying "Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out".

    ??In the slums of Hormoc, outside a dilapidated house, there is a pungent smell?The smell is disgusting.

    "Is this here?" Amy couldn't believe it. The alchemist's situation was so unbearable?  No matter how you say it, it is a highly intelligent profession!  Why are you so miserable?

    "Well, this friend of mine lives a more casual life" Anthony was a little embarrassed. Even the people outside the door fainted when they smelled the smell.

    How about going in?  Amy didn't care. Talented people all have some quirks. Douglas must be a slovenly alchemy madman!

    Just as he was about to knock on the door, there was a loud noise, and a shabby old man with a grey-headed face rushed out of the door and muttered: "The dosage should be one less, um, be more careful next time."

    ¡° Then I saw strangers looking at each other outside the door. One of them was still his old friend. He pounced on Anthony without hesitation, as if he was relying on you without any negotiation.

    "Anthony! It's great if you're here. I've finished the dried white sturgeon you gave me a few days ago. Can you give me more? My experiment preparations are completed, and I will reward you then!"

    Douglas¡¯s words are very skillful. I don¡¯t know how many people he has said these words to. He has always relied on the support of others and has been intoxicated in endless experiments all day long.

    With a shortage of raw materials and imperfect equipment, how can we develop good alchemical products?  It¡¯s just self-deception.

    Anthony was a good old man and didn't mind Douglas's behavior. He skillfully broke away from his dirty minions, took a step back and said: "Old friend Douglas, this is the trusted Lord of the City, Viscount Amy, I'm here to see you this time.  We have something important to discuss, and your experimental equipment and raw materials will be available from now on!"

    When it comes to the incident related to the alchemy experiment, the strange old man Douglas finally regained his solemn look and no longer smiled playfully.

    "Really? Anthony, you are my good friend, don't lie to me!" The tone was very serious, and he was deeply vigilant, because some nobles from other places had looked for him before, and their purposes were very mixed.

    For an alchemist who has been engaged in scientific research for most of his life, he will never transcend matters in principle.

    For example, a certain noble asked him to develop a drug called "Wolf Ten Times a Night" to satisfy his own selfish desires. He didn't bother to do such a thing.

    "Don't you still believe in my character?" Anthony used his own character to guarantee it, which is indeed beyond doubt.

    After all, this guy is an expert bard!  It should not be possible to deceive him, a down-and-out alchemist who has lost his power.

    Amy was in no rush to interrupt and waited quietly.

    "Okay, take me to the City Lord's Mansion to find a special place for me. This room is no longer habitable. Don't bring any gifts in. Change the place immediately. I've had enough of living here!" Douglas ignored Amy and strode forward.  Go forward, towards the city lord's palace, without any etiquette, a complete weirdo!

    A guard couldn¡¯t stand it and wanted to teach this weird old alchemist a lesson. What are you pretending to do? Do you think the city lord will be interested in you?

    Amy stopped the guard¡¯s behavior, followed Douglas with a smile on her face.

    It is not easy to get the recognition of a capable alchemist. Amy knows the temper of this kind of person very well, so just follow him.

    ¡°What¡¯s more, he is not a native nobleman. He has merged with Yuan Benchu¡¯s memory, which means he has dual consciousness. He has suffered less cowardice in his previous life?

    If you want something from others, you have to bow your head.

    The magic turbine power system also relies on this weirdo-Alchemist Douglas.

    Douglas, as soon as he entered the city lord's palace, he ordered the servants to take a bath, and then ate a lot.

    After having a full meal and wine, Amy stared at the old man in white robe who had suddenly become a new man, with a gleam of wisdom in his cloudy eyes.

    "Anthony didn't lie to me," he thought to himself. "This old man is indeed not simple."

    I was skeptical about his weird performance before, but now my worries are gone. I must win over such a technology expert!  Only if you reach out to help him when he is at his lowest, I believe that he will do his best to serve Yuan Xin in the future, not just the turbine system.

    Amy has long-term plans. The talent of an alchemist will not be limited to one aspect. To be the chief alchemist, you will never be proficient in only one alchemy skill.

    What¡¯s more, after being idle for so long, he must have some new ideas and concepts. Based on Douglas¡¯s importance to Amy¡¯s territory in the future, he would be so conniving.

    Anthony on the side couldn¡¯t stand it and said, ¡°Old stubborn, when you¡¯ve had enough, let¡¯s talk about business. The Viscount has the patience to play cold war with you, but I don¡¯t!¡±

    Douglas was silent for a moment, then seemed to make up his mind and stood up.Bowing deeply, Amy quickly helped him up and kept saying: "Sir Douglas, what are you doing? I can't afford it!"

    An old man who is nearly 70 years old bows to a young man who looks like he is in his twenties. If in future generations, Amy will definitely be scolded bloody.

    With a reputation of not respecting the elderly, China regards respecting the elderly and loving the young as a virtue, so Yuan Xin was naturally deeply affected.

    Douglas then said: "Lord Viscount, I bow to you to apologize for my previous rudeness. I can bear it. I am an old man and can no longer withstand the torment. There have been several nobles from other places before.  You have come to see me, but what you dare to do is unsightly! The old man is exhausted mentally and physically, and he suddenly vowed not to serve the nobles again until he met you."

    In fact, Douglas in the slums is not blocked in information. He knows everything about what Amy is doing, and he is a lord worth serving.

    Even if Amy doesn¡¯t come to him in person, he will automatically come to her door soon. It¡¯s just a matter of time.

    "Your Excellency has given you too much praise. All this is what I should do." Amy said modestly, without being arrogant at all. She is not proud and complacent at such a young age, and she will definitely achieve great things in the future.

    In his previous meeting with Anthony, Douglas learned a lot about Amy's deeds and admired her deeply.

    When he saw me, he felt even more yearning for me. He stopped hesitating and returned to the topic, saying, "My lord, I don't know that you are so anxious to recruit me. What do you want me to do?"

    Seeing that Douglas no longer bowed and returned to his position, Amy said sternly: "Build a long-distance voyage ship, using the 'Magic Turbine Power Equipment' as the driving device of the project you were previously responsible for researching."

    "Don't worry, sir, I have kept all the equipment drawings and research notes. I believe I will be able to recreate a turbine-driven long-distance ship."

    After receiving a affirmative answer from Douglas, the date for building the ship was about to be put forward. After handing the list of materials listed by Douglas to the housekeeper Aaron for purchase, Amy began to worry about whether Hormuz is capable of building the hull now?

    Douglas seemed to see what Amy was worried about, and took out another stack of drawings from the space ring. As an alchemist, a space ring is necessary. This 20*20 space ring was used by him in a large business association in his early years.  A fine space ring made from Tan Mo's raw materials.

    No matter how depressed he is, he is reluctant to change hands. It means a lot to him and has commemorative value.

    He handed it to Amy to browse, and then said: "There are several abandoned shipyards in Hormuz now, and the basic equipment is quite complete. As long as the personnel are gathered, they will be put into use soon, and my set of drawings are more recent.  A combat ship that I have devoted myself to researching over the years."

    Although Amy is a layman, the ship drawn in the drawings looks very familiar. The main body is made of hardwood and is blessed with a series of magic runes such as petrification magic circle and hardness enhancement. The purpose is to strengthen the defense capability of the hull.

    It is powered by a magic turbine, has a main gun, an automatically locked magic crystal cannon, and is equipped with dozens of giant crossbows. The arrows used all have magic damage.

    The navigation equipment is a three-dimensional magic image scanner, which is installed in the cab to facilitate navigation and see the surrounding situation clearly.

    The most peculiar thing is that Douglas designed an offensive weapon similar to fish, a deep-sea thunder cannon. Cannonballs infused with thunder elements will explode with powerful energy when they touch the target, strangulating the opponent.

    "Are you sure that such a ship can be built with Hormuz's construction level?" Amy looked at the drawings, and her shock was clearly evident. It is a template for a modern cruiser!  Although the techniques used are different, the effects are exactly the same.

    Radar, fish, main gun, secondary gun, turbine power and everything!  This guy is a genius!

    With this cruiser, it can¡¯t go anywhere, but judging from the power source inside, once the ship moves, the amount of magic crystals consumed is unimaginable!

    It seems that the gain outweighs the loss. If there is no alternative energy source, even if this ship is built, there will be no money to maintain it!  As the saying goes, buying a car is easy, but maintaining a car is difficult!  Gas money is a huge expense, endless.

    "Don't worry about this. I will contact my old friends and be responsible for the blessing of magic arrays, magic crystal cannons, magic crossbows, three-dimensional imaging equipment, thunder cannons, etc. The main structure can be made by some local craftsmen who have been idle for a long time, and it will cost a lot of money.  It will probably take about a month.¡±

    Douglas used to be the chief alchemist, so he still has certain connections. There are still some unsuccessful alchemists in the southern region.

    Amy is not worried about money. With the high royalties earned from "Journey to the West", this "cruise" can be built.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?This puts Yuan Xin in a bit of a dilemma. It's not just a matter of one or two. Once put into use, the consumption of magic crystals will cause him to collapse.

    High-level magic crystals are used for a long time, but they are reluctant to part with them. Low-level magic crystals require more quantities!  It doesn¡¯t add up to a small sum.

    Do you really want to jump into this bottomless pit?

    "Have you considered the issue of energy consumption? Not only does the drive require magic crystal, but each shell consumes a large amount of elements in the magic crystal. In this way, the gain outweighs the loss!" Amy expressed her thoughts,  I don't blindly agree with this cruiser. The magic crystal drive does help improve navigation efficiency, but it is a waste of money.

    Hormoc is in the stage of infrastructure construction. A lot of money is spent at this time, which is not conducive to subsequent development.

    What¡¯s more, magic crystal is a more limited resource than oil. It is not a dead thing waiting for you to harvest, but a product that will cost a lot of mercenary lives.

    "Warcraft is not a kitten or puppy that can be ravaged by others, it is a demon that will kill you at any time!"

    "Things are rare and valuable, and magic crystal has been used as a hard currency that can be exchanged for anything on the mainland. It only rises but never falls."

    Something similar to gold, a source of energy that everyone desires.

    Douglas laughed loudly and said: "Sir, the reason why I took out this set of drawings is because I solved the problem of replacing magic crystals as energy supply."

    "One sentence shocked everyone. Douglas's discovery was about to change the development pattern of the world and found an opportunity to lead the rapid development of science and technology in the mainland.

    Amy thought of a certain character for a moment. Bill Gates released the XP system, which gave computers more room for development.

    Douglas¡¯s discovery is tantamount to breaking the inherent thinking of everyone on the mainland. Magic crystals are irreplaceable!

    Are the facts really what they say?  Amy seems to have found a treasure.

    ?According to Douglas, the magic crystal is just a concentrated version of the elements of heaven and earth absorbed by Warcraft.  The exhausted magic crystal can be completely recycled. Through its bionic conversion method, the elemental energy in the magic crystal can be filled with artificial charging or a series of methods such as solar energy, wind energy, and water energy, and can be used repeatedly.  , until the magic crystal shell breaks.

    Generally speaking, low-level magic crystals can only be recharged about three times, mid-level ones can be recharged about ten to twenty times, and high-level ones can be recharged infinitely!

    The three types of magic crystals commonly used on the mainland are mainly these three types. The so-called sub-god level, god level, and ultimate god level magic crystals may exist, but they are not something that humans can covet.

    The utilization rate of the converter fluctuates to a certain extent. There is a 20% probability that the intermediate charge will become a low-level magic crystal. The next charge may remain at the original level.

    I believe that this problem will be solved after Douglas¡¯ repeated debugging, but even so, Amy is extremely excited.

    After using the elemental energy in the magic crystal, most people will discard the shell or keep it as jewelry. There are a lot of such "junk"!

    If we collect them all and recharge them for sale, the benefits will be unimaginable!

    This invention must be monopolized and cannot be leaked, otherwise Hormuc will be harassed endlessly in the future. Besides, Amy is not strong enough to dominate the mainland now, so keep a low profile!

    "Sir Douglas, you should know what kind of sensation this invention will cause in the mainland, right? Therefore, please keep the news of the converter strictly confidential. It is not yet suitable for large-scale charging and acquisition of discarded magic crystals. This is a batch of quality  For high-quality magic crystals above the intermediate level, let¡¯s put this batch of magic crystals on this ship first, and we¡¯ll talk about the rest later.¡±

    Huge interests will cause unnecessary disputes. At this stage, Amy's power is in a relatively inferior position. If it is recharged, it can only turn to underground activities.

    Fortunately, when Amy was raiding the Macedonian Temple of Light branch, she took away a batch of magic crystals, which was enough for the cruiser to use for a period of time.

    Therefore, even if it is charged, it will be used on this batch of magic crystals. Large-scale acquisition of discarded magic crystals will alert the enemy.

    "Well, sir, I understand this. I will strictly abide by the converter's drawings and information." Then he glanced at Anthony, meaningfully.

    Anthony¡¯s identity is a bit embarrassing. He is said to be a core member, but he is not, just a soy sauce drop!  His interests are still tied to the minstrel organization.

    He is not a meddlesome person. He understood that this matter was of great significance, and made his position clear, saying: "Don't worry, I, Anthony, will not say a word about what happened today. Even if the instructor asks me, I will not mention a word."

    The Bards are not like other organizations with their diverse and complex interests.?A group of true intellectuals who only seek fame and fortune for better propaganda works.

    Amy is not worried about Anthony's character. Douglas will reveal this invention without any scruples. In fact, he also believes in Anthony.

    He did this just to reassure Amy. Now that he has officially joined Amy's camp, he must consider her in everything.

    Relatively speaking, he will also receive protection and benefits, and Yuan Xin will leave the matter of restarting the dock to Aaron, Gavin, and Brandon.

    In fact, although little Brandon is a playboy, his working ability should not be underestimated.

    And after Amy¡¯s teachings during this period, he has gradually got rid of the bad habits of a playboy, and has gradually grown up, enough for Yuan Xin to trust him to do something.

    Anthony followed Douglas to find the old alchemist, first of all to complete the refining of other components.

    Douglas¡¯s personal power alone was enough to complete so many delicate steps in a short period of time.

    Everyone was busy with their business, but Amy was idle, thinking it was time to find a sailor.

    Local sailors are adapted to combat and life at sea, which is conducive to better integration with new warships.

    On the contrary, the Moloch private soldiers and the city guards are not good. Most of the Moloch private soldiers are northerners and are not used to water. After a long sea voyage, they will vomit and faint. How can they still have combat effectiveness?

    The city guards are originally small in number and belong directly to Olga. If they want to be transferred, their loyalty will not matter, and they will be criticized by others.

    ???????????????????? Saying that Amy is reducing the military power of the city guards and implementing rebellion will have a huge impact on the newly established prestige.

    The civilians of Hormoz have been dealing with the sea all year round. It is not difficult to recruit suitable sailors. After some training, they should be able to become proficient in this new warship.

    According to the design of the drawing, leaving aside the sailors who brake, the sailors actually to be recruited basically belong to the combat order, and there are twenty pilots of the magic crossbow.

    There are two main gunners, two laser gunners, one first mate, one second mate, and one third mate. The command system only needs three experienced crew members.

    Of course, the first mate is actually also the captain part-time, and Amy just holds a false title. After all, she is a layman, and it is a bit unrealistic to command a cruiser.

    This cruiser has three floors, an actual number of troops of one thousand, a length of 80 meters, and a height of 20 meters. This cruiser Amy is planned to be built as the main ship of the Hormoz Maritime Fleet.

    It is tentatively named "Wukong".

    Because the hull is relatively large, there is a discrepancy with the actual construction time. Moreover, the dock has been idle for a long time and the number of craftsmen is relatively small. It is estimated that it will take about three months.

    This is the result of working day and night. The two shipyards have divided labor and cooperated to speed up efficiency.

    Why would Amy deliberately raise the ceiling height on each floor?  Nearly 5 meters!  In fact, less than thirty human workers were recruited, and the main job was to operate ships. The main station was naturally Amy's Spartan Tiger Shark and Deep Sea Titan.

    In order to maintain the physical strength of the tiger shark family, Amy will let the tiger sharks enter the Wukong to rest most of the time. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the ship, Amy decided to use this time to train a group of reserve personnel. Not only the Wukong will  Human crews will definitely build other turbine ships in the future, and three months is enough time.

    Ordering Andrew to draft a recruitment announcement, Amy trained these new recruits with reference to the training methods of later special forces, and worked out recruitment conditions and practical training plans.

    Bishop: Amy, who coordinates the overall situation.

    The teaching officials are:

    Noah who teaches archery, Gavin who teaches melee combat, Aaron and Sawa who teach political guidance, Brandon who teaches riding, Douglas who actually operates magic equipment, Anthony who tells stories, and wilderness survival and underwater combat are taught by Ai  Mi explains and instills new ideas.

    Political coaching is to strengthen the recruits' belonging honor. Aaron is very talkative and can talk about the dead, so he is very suitable for this position.

    As for why Sharapova was involved, it was just to test her!

    ¡°Tight and tight, Anthony¡¯s tasks are also extremely challenging. Storytelling is to allow the recruits to soothe their nerves after intense training and prepare for the next training.

    The excitement of the story is very important. As an expert, Anthony is also very courageous!

    After Amy finished writing a few pages of parchment, she stretched and muttered to herself: "I wonder how many percent of the recruits will stay?"

    This training subject is really very strict. It adopts an elimination system. Failure at each level will?We are facing passing by the Age of Discovery.

    "Perhaps this is the only way to pull out the bright gold in the big waves!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.  )
