At this time, Comilon and the accompanying technicians immediately picked up a piece of black wood from the pile of wood and asked in shock, "Mr. President, what kind of wood is this?"
Dafei's eyelids twitched, and then he was ecstatic! They were holding nothing else but the Mercury Wood that I have the most reserves of! Lots and lots of them! Who knows how many giant ships they could build, and how many years it would take them!
Now it was finally time for me to show off!
Dafei said lightly, "This wood should be unprecedented, right? Mr. Comilon, what do you think of the effect of this wood? "
Comilon took out a small iron hammer and knocked on the wood. He couldn't help but exclaim, "It has the hardness of metal, yet it doesn't lose the toughness and elasticity of wood. Even the Ironclad Wood of an authentic warship may not have such good attributes!"
Dafei was surprised. "Ironclad Wood?"
Comilon nodded excitedly. "The materials of a giant ship have to be wrapped with a layer of iron and copper before they can be used. The materials before wrapping are logs! Mr. President, I think this is a very suitable material for giant ships. The strength of this log itself has exceeded the standard of normal ship materials, so there is no need to wrap it with a thick iron sheet. The speed and steering performance of the warship will be correspondingly improved. And this is only the physical properties of this wood. Its magic properties have to be tested separately — "
At this point, Comilon grabbed Dafei's shoulder excitedly and said solemnly, "In short, Mr. President! This is the wood we need. As long as we have this wood, we can develop a new type of giant ship that is completely different from ordinary giant ships! At that time, our Eroline Shipyard is likely to replace the Taroran Shipyard and become the number one shipyard in the Kingdom, no, the number one shipyard in the Alliance. At that time, the profits that Mr. President will obtain are completely unimaginable. So, Mr. President, we need more. Please! "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched wildly! To become the number one shipyard in the Alliance! Haha, wahahaha! This Mercury Wood forest is really a treasure! Unfortunately, this forest cannot be regenerated. It is a one-time resource, so it must be used sparingly! And the key is that you don't know how many I have, so I can only say that the rarer something is, the greater its value!
Dafei let out a long sigh. "This type of wood is very rare. Additionally, the environment in which it was harvested is very harsh. However, if we want to build one or two giant warships – by the way, how much wood do we need to build one? How much will it cost? "
Comilon said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, there should be no less than 3000 pieces of wood! Each piece of wood was worth around 4000 gold coins. Of course, this was the internal reference price. Outsiders couldn't buy it even if they had the money! Then, there's the process of wrapping iron. The cost of this is unknown, and it's classified as a military commercial secret of the shipyard. We need to research and develop it ourselves. In short, based on the factory price of 100 to 200 million for a giant ship, the material cost of the giant ship should be around 20 to 30 million. "
Dafei nodded as he listened. In other words, as long as they passed the research and development stage and built a giant ship, he could first earn 10 to 20 million as a wood supplier. If he exaggerated the difficulty of shipping it, he could sell it for 30 million. Then, the dividends from the shareholders would return 7% of the profits to the Chamber of Commerce. This was a good deal!
Dafei said, "Got it. I'll try my best to overcome all difficulties and deliver more wood at the expense of heavy casualties."
Comilon was overjoyed. "As expected of the Mayor's trusted Mr. Guild Leader. I heard that you ran into some trouble at the Pond of Light. We don't know if we can help you, Guild Leader. How about this? We'll give you this blueprint as a token of our appreciation!"
— System Notification: You have received the Shipyard Blueprint and the Shipyard Standard Ship Manufacturing Recipe from Eroline Shipyard's boss, Comilon!
Dafei's eyebrows twitched! Shipyard Blueprint! And all the recipes from the shops! F * ck! This is so cool! Habbit Village has always used wooden rafts. My balls hurt just looking at them!
The Shipyard was not a basic building in the city, so the players had to find the blueprint themselves to obtain it. This kind of commercial building could not only increase the prosperity of the city, but it could also increase the prosperity of the city. Of course, there was only one way for a player's shipyard to earn as much profit as the shipyards in major NPC cities, and that was to continuously upgrade the shipyard and complete shipbuilding quests to increase the company's Reputation. Meanwhile, they could also research and develop new shipbuilding recipes.
In theory, it was not impossible for a player's shipyard to be upgraded to the scale of the Aroline Shipyard. At that time, it was not impossible for Da Fei and the Aroline Shipyard to share shipbuilding technology. However, the prerequisite was that the shipyard must have thousands of senior shipbuilders, hundreds of master technicians, and several master chief technicians, or even god-level technicians. Otherwise, the Shipyard would not be able to operate at all. It could be said that the difficulty of focusing on developing a Shipyard was no less than being a City Lord.
All in all, this kind of pain in the ass and ethereal thing was not something that Dafei could think about now. What Dafei wanted now was probably to be able to build some passable boats to replace the rafts.
Dafei said happily, "Thank you for your generous gift, sir. Time is of the essence. I will take my leave now. I will give you a surprise the next time we meet!"
Comilon said excitedly, "Please rest assured, chairman. We will also take this time to develop the design of the giant ship and the process of wrapping iron. We will strive to achieve a breakthrough in a short time!"
Just as Dafei, accompanied by the boss and a group of technicians, went out, Dafei saw someone greeting him at the door. It was Spielberg, whom he had not seen for many days!
Spielberg laughed and said, "Chairman, you are here too!"
Huh? That's right. It has been a month since he returned from the sea. The feeling of a month in the game really made Dafei feel like he had been in the real world for a month!
Dafei smiled and asked, "Mr. Spielberg, how is the modification of your ship going?"
Spielberg shook his head and sighed. "The progress is not ideal. Many ideas become difficult once they are put into practice. However, the bottom of the ship has been repaired. It will not be a problem to go out at any time. "
F * ck! As expected! An NPC proposing to modify a ship would trigger a plot event. Players must participate in the research to make progress. It was too naive to expect an NPC to research on his own. He decisively handed over a blank paper to me! F * ck, I said that a big and burly NPC like you doesn't look like someone who can do development!
Comilon was surprised. "Could this gentleman be?"
Dafei laughed and said, "This is the fishing team leader of our Chamber of Commerce. He has been modifying the whaling ship here for more than a month. Our goal is to modify the whaling ship into a sea monster killer."
Comilon made an 'oh' sound and then said respectfully, "It turns out to be someone from the chairman's guild. It was rude of me to neglect you! How about this, I will immediately send a technical team to assist Mr. Spielberg! "
Spielberg was suddenly happy. "Okay! However, the following modifications are more expensive! My funds may — "
Comilon waved his hand and said firmly, "Don't talk about money!"
Dafei's eyebrows twitched! I understand. I think Spielberg, a human, is probably very aggrieved here. However, I am now a major shareholder and a big timber supplier. You must pay attention and be polite.
Dafei laughed and said, "How can I trouble everyone?"
Comilon coughed dryly and laughed. "To be honest, our shipyard is usually a supplier of ships and fishing boats. We are not very good at special ships such as whaling ships, so Mr. Spielberg's modification progress is not very ideal. I apologize again, so we should concentrate some of our technical strength to assist Mr. Spielberg. This will not only strengthen our technical development on special ships, but it is also very likely to obtain technical inspiration for the development of giant ships!"
F * ck! Not good at whaling ships? Then who built the whaling ship provided by the Fishing Guild? Forget it, don't expose it!
Without waiting for Dafei to speak, Spielberg was already excited and bowed repeatedly. "Thank you for your concern, Factory Manager! Thank you for your concern, Chairman! I will do my best to realize this idea! "
Sigh, this child, he has been wronged! Now that I'm personally participating in the research and development of this event, there should be some results, right? However, the results should be targeted. I will give you another task. Don't hand in a blank paper this time!
Dafei laughed and said, "Okay! Now that the Factory Manager has spoken, there is no need to worry about it not being done. A month ago, I received a mission from the Dwarf Prince Eibron to clean up the crocodiles in the Blackice Castle Abandoned Fishery. Mr. Spielberg is also a Level 1 Sea Monster Hunter issued by the Fishing Guild. Is this okay? "
Spielberg laughed and said, "Crocodiles? That's the easiest, no problem!"
Easy my ass! Have you ever seen a demigod crocodile?
Speaking of which, the one month agreement is up. I have to meet the Dwarf Prince at noon today. Damn, I am still fighting. Will I make it in time? What a pain in the ass!
Anyway, I have to stabilize the situation first. As long as I stabilize the situation, I still have time. I believe in the ability of the slime monster.
Dafei left the shipyard. The group of trolls at the door had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Dafei, they all started scolding him! Damn! You damned flies! Just you wait, I'll deal with all of you after I settle all of my matters!
Needless to say, under the escort of the trolls, Dafei entered the street and continued to be laughed at by the passersby. Tsk, if you want to watch, then watch. If you have the guts, then attack me!
Wait, speaking of attack, Dafei thought of the Chamber of Commerce's NPC. Speaking of which, one night had passed, which was equivalent to a few days in the game. Was Kurtner still not done asking his grandfather to join the guild? Damn! It was probably the same as Spielberg's matter. Players had to personally ask for help three times.
Alright, it was better if they did not join now. I can't guarantee their safety.
Along the way, with a flash of light, Dafei returned to the Pond of Light. At this moment, Anlícia greeted from afar, "Guild Master, your sweetheart, Miss Catalina, is back!"
— — Pfft! Whose sweetheart!
At this moment, Dafei's face was full of tears. His sweetheart was finally back! At the same time, he was crushed. What was supposed to come had finally come, but I was in the middle of a war! How could I care about your matters!
