Chapter 401 Choice
Eriksson made a pause gesture to the butler and apprentice. He had already seen that besides these two families, there were other people who were ready to move.
If you continue to let go, you will probably not be able to deal with it later.
He rolled over and climbed onto the mast and shouted loudly toward the bottom: "We did find out the reef through sonar, enter the devil's sea, and crossed over to the island on the other end of the devil's sea. But as you can see, our ship was attacked by sea beasts, and a ship sank on his return journey. But it's all worth it, and we have obtained the key information of the new channel."
"Really? Where is it? How to go, tell me it."
"What is sonar?"
......
As soon as he said this, the people who were listening to him quietly became excited again.
Eriksson didn't care about the people below and said to himself: "Our small fleet of ships is not able to develop this new route, so we will sell the information on this route, and everyone has a chance."
The sailors below were all excited. Everyone had a chance. Just like that fable, everyone felt that they would be the lucky one, but in fact, even if they reached the new channel, only a small number of people could really gain benefits from it.
They may be able to save time and transportation costs through the new channel after the channel is smooth, but the only ones who can really participate in the channel operation will definitely be the legendary big names.
The butler and the apprentice frowned. They also knew that it was difficult to take over the profits of the new channel themselves, but they did not expect that the other party would give such a solution.
Especially for the City Lord's Mansion, they had almost no consideration after getting the news. They didn't care whether the news was accurate. They sent their own housekeepers this morning, and most of the others just sent people to inquire about the news.
Now that Erixon wanted to announce the news of the new channel, the housekeeper couldn't help but worry, fearing that the City Lord's Mansion would lose the first move.
Erixon continued: "Of course, we will not announce the news directly. We suffered a lot of losses this time and lost a boat, so we will conduct auctions and secret auctions this time. The people who took the auction can exclusively occupy the news, but it is only three months. After three months, you only need to pay the money to get news about the new channel from us. A year later, we will announce the news about the new channel in full, so that everyone has the opportunity to explore the new channel."
After the announcement of the news, Eriksson hurriedly took his crew away, leaving only a lot of people who were still shocked.
The butler of the City Lord's Mansion did not stop Eriksson this time, but hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion and reported the news to the City Lord.
I have to say that Erikson's time node was very good this time. The first person to get the route map can gain a great advantage, but the sea route has its own rules. In three months, you can only walk one round trip.
There are advantages, but they are as big as they imagined, and they give up but are unwilling to give up. If they fail to establish enough advantages for the first time, it is very likely that they will be on the same starting line with the rest of the people after the time has passed.
Even in a year, the development of the new route may not end. If it is really relaxed at that time, a large number of people will participate, and you will probably get some leftovers.
......
"City Lord, this time Eriksson really seems to have passed through the devil's sea. But if he does this, do we still want to compete for the first chance? How did he think of such a plan?"
In the city lord's mansion, the butler reported the whole story of the matter to the city lord.
"If it weren't for the Scoll Chamber of Commerce, I would definitely not be so passive this time. Erixon and the others would have been brought back to the City Lord's Mansion by me."
"It can't be that simple." The city lord sat behind the desk. His figure looked pretty good, but he was a little fat. "Why did they suddenly explore the Devil's Sea this time? The idea of exploring a new waterway from the Devil's Sea was a long time ago, but no one could avoid the complex underwater environment there. Why did they do this time? Someone must be behind the scenes."
The butler thought for a while and whispered: "It seems to be related to what sonar?"
......
Valoca Chamber of Commerce.
The captain reported to the branch president in front of him: "President, Eriksson has announced the plan according to our agreement, and he is still trustworthy. Moreover, he mentioned sonar, can someone buy it and explore the new route directly, so there is no need for Eriksson and the others to do?"
The president stood by the window and shook his head: "No, the devil's sea area is not only due to the undercurrent of reefs, but also many powerful sea beasts. It is said that someone has seen sea dragons, and even if they are detected by sonar, they cannot escape. At most, the sonar only slightly avoids the influence of reefs, making it a possibility to explore a new route.
"If you want the new route to be truly navigated, it is impossible not to sink dozens of ships."
This time Eriksson went to explore the new route, which was supported by the people of the Valoca Chamber of Commerce, and to be more precise, by the Emod branch.
Jiayi once described the application of sonar and felt that in maritime, sonar is the most widely used because sonar spreads faster underwater, and there are not many underwater exploration methods and great restrictions.
But more than a year has passed, and although sonar has been accepted by many merchant ships, it has not detonated the entire market. Those who are willing to install are people from the big chamber of commerce, and most of them are in a fleet and only one ship is installed.
Although sonar already has a part of the market, the Emod branch is not satisfied and still racks its brains to expand the market of sonar. In the end, they focused their attention on the devil's seas and the development of new routes.
For every sailor, the new route means a golden avenue, and no sailor can refuse.
In order for Erixon and the others to succeed, the Chamber of Commerce even spent a lot of money to hire a senior gray-robed mage to follow the escort. Although the ship did not change, all the materials and equipment inside were replaced. The Chamber of Commerce did not even require the right to naming, and gave all the credit for this discovery to Erixon, but only required that the information must be published in stages in accordance with the Chamber of Commerce's requirements.
Without the support of the Valoca branch, it would still be very difficult for Eriksson to pass through the Devil's Sea.
......
College.
Jiayi carefully arranged the machine in front of him. This was a newly modified cutting machine and pulping machine according to Machi's requirements, which was specially used to cut large pieces of raw materials and prepare pulp. The pulping machine specially pounded and pounded the bleached fibers, broke the fiber shell, refined the fibers, and finally made pulping.
Without these machines, Machi directly brought a group of guards as coolies and pounded them with stone hammers.
However, the guards are not coolies after all, and temporary emergency response is OK. If you want to do this for a long time, it will not work.
In addition to the special supply of Machi machines, the suppliers' gears, screws and spring lathes have also been made. However, if you rely solely on hand, it will take time to make a batch of lathes used by the suppliers.
