Territory, Research Institute.
Tang Yu held a tube of pale red, bubbling, soda-like potion in his hand.
"A potion that can quickly heal injuries is finally made. It looks delicious."
After looking at it for half a second, he brought it to his mouth and gulped down the 20-milliliter potion.
"It tastes a little like pomegranate. It's delicious …"
"Wait, I seem to have forgotten to experiment on mice first??!"
Tang Yu's face stiffened. He looked at the empty tube in his hand and then at the white fluffy, chubby mutant mouse curled up in the corner with an innocent face in the cage next to him.
He could only comfort himself, "Forget it. The herbs for the Recovery Potion are all supplements. I won't die if I eat it. Besides, I've passed the body shaping and internal organs have been tempered. Generally … maybe … probably I won't die from the poison."
Fortunately, this tube of potion was successfully made without any side effects.
Concentrating on perceiving the changes in his body, he only felt a gentle energy quickly spreading out, infiltrating his internal organs and every cell.
Whoosh!
Tang Yu's right hand's four fingers closed together, releasing source power and attached it. His fingertips glowed with a faint light, cutting a ten-centimeter-long wound on his left arm.
"Damn, I used too much force. It hurts!"
At this time, the warm energy in his body quickly converged towards the wound. In just a few seconds, the ten-centimeter-long wound had healed. The scar left on it quickly fell off.
Tang Yu sensed that the potion's energy had only been consumed by about one-fifth.
"For people below the Sixth Awakening Stage, a tube of potion is enough to heal serious injuries. Even for high-rank hunters, one tube is not enough. Two or three tubes will work."
The healing potions he had studied before were either not effective enough or too slow.
Looking at the few tubes of finished potion still on the medicine making table, Tang Yu thought for a moment.
"Let's call it the Recovery Potion Type 1."
He could already imagine the hot sales of the Recovery Potion. Even an adventurer team with a healing ability wouldn't be stingy with spirit stones to buy a few tubes of life-saving potion.
Moreover, there were many types of healing ability. Generally, they were good at trauma, healing the injured with the healing ability's own energy.
There was also the Life Gift type, giving the injured strong life energy, allowing the injured to achieve a rapid self-healing effect.
The other type was the cleansing type, which could remove burns, ice, and other external energy invading states, allowing the injured to recover to their original state.
These three types of healing abilities were relatively common. After Winnie received the inheritance, she mainly focused on the first type of healing, but she also knew many purification spells.
"However, in addition to healing injuries, Recovery Potion Type 1 also has the effect of restoring physical strength and relieving fatigue. It can be said to be quite comprehensive."
"The drawback is that the liquid medicine is not convenient to carry around. If it can be made into pills, it will be more convenient to use in battle."
Di di —
The simple communication device on the side of the table vibrated, and the light red liquid began to ripple and bubble.
Tang Yu picked it up and looked at it.
"My Lord, the airship has been assembled and is ready for test flight. "-- Kevin Sandrich de Paticia Traviskin
Tang Yu: "…"
Who was it that didn't use the more convenient and faster contract communication?
Did Kevin get confused by his annoying beard?
…
Tang Yu met up with Chen Haiping on the road, and the two rushed all the way to the equipment area.
As a core figure of the shelter, although Chen Haiping knew about the existence of the airship, he didn't know much about it. When he heard about the upcoming test flight, his eyes were filled with shock.
"Leader, can the airship plan really succeed? I heard the airship can carry 300 passengers? "
"300 people. That's just the number of people it can carry. In fact, the airship's design uses a large part of the space as a cargo compartment. The cargo capacity is extremely high."
"But … the sky is the territory of flying demonic beasts. Armed helicopters only dare to fly at low altitude. Fighter jets generally don't dare to fly too far away from the shelter. The airship is a much bigger target than fighter jets. I also heard from the people in Lindong that the North Court tried to use airships to cross the territory but failed."
Since the weather changed again, fighter jets were nowhere to be seen. Probably because they haven't been repaired yet. There was no place for humans to stand in the sky.
The number of flying demonic beasts increased until they converged into a demonic wave and were annihilated by human air defense weapons.
So Chen Haiping's worries were reasonable.
But it was mostly because he didn't know enough about the airship.
Tang Yu smiled, "The airship is not the same as the airship. The airship needs the help of an air sac to fill it with a low density gas and use the buoyancy to lift off. The existence of the air sac is indeed a big target and easily destroyed by the flying demonic beasts.
However, the airship relies on the huge floating array engraved on the bottom to fly faster. It's equipped with powerful firepower and defense capabilities, enough to deal with most of the flying demonic beasts.
Wait for the airship's first flight. You'll know when you see it. "
Tang Yu was also excited.
The sales of rune equipment accounted for a large part of the territory's income. However, limited by the doomsday environment, it was difficult to dump it everywhere. The construction of the teleportation array needed to rely on sub-territories, but the number of sub-territories that could be opened was limited. The teleportation array technology was too advanced to rely on alone.
At present, the sales were only limited to the surrounding areas of Tree Shade and Luoxia. Hengcheng, Shuohu, and other areas around Lincheng. Even if there were many caravans going back and forth, it was difficult to meet the needs of the local hunters.
Because of the transportation problem, they couldn't even open a new sales area in Jingcheng.
Tang Yu also considered using the Floating Chariot for transportation. However, even if the Floating Chariot was full of space backpacks, it couldn't carry much goods at once. Large items couldn't be packed into the space backpack.
The number of Floating Chariots was also limited. Each one cost up to 200,000 spirit stones (converting the materials into cost price). Some rare materials could only be slowly accumulated. There were only a dozen of them in the entire territory. Half of them were given to the armed forces department. The intelligence department also asked for four or five. He had to keep at least two for himself, and a few for his followers who went out on missions.
How could there be a Floating Chariot to transport goods?
"The airship is different. The cost is more than 2.3 million, but its carrying capacity is far more than the Floating Chariot. It's just that with our current wealth, we can't build a few airships even if we save money."
Tang Yu frowned.
During this time, the Treasury was hovering between the warning line and the emergency line. Even if he had a mine at home, he couldn't hold it anymore.
The income of the spirit stone mine was stable at tens of thousands of spirit stones every day. Resource Point No. 1, after deducting the maintenance cost of the defensive building, he could have a small income of 20,000 to 30,000 a day. The sales of rune equipment everywhere, plus the income from the spiritual space and the martial arts hall, had now become the main source of income, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
However!
Building a defensive building cost thousands of spirit stones. The expensive ones cost tens of thousands or even 20,000 to 30,000. Arranging a suggested line of defense cost millions of spirit stones. His followers and employees also spent a lot of money. Every week, he had to spend at least 100,000 to 200,000 spirit stones. Even his newly built combat system cost tens of thousands of spirit stones every time it was activated, and it could only last for less than a minute.
"Last time, I clearly felt that the combat system was perfect. Maybe I could even fight against a transcendent. But I really ignored the most important problem of spending spirit stones."
In contrast, upgrading the territory, summoning adventurers, and refreshing the market were nothing.
Expensive vehicles such as floating chariots and airships. If most of the materials weren't collected by the Survey Corps and reduced the cost, they wouldn't be able to build so many.
"Tang has a mine at home, but he's actually poor," smiled bitterly. "When the airship is confirmed to be able to fly across regions, I must sell the goods all over the world. I heard from Lorraine that the hunters in Jingcheng are very rich. Let's choose Jingcheng as our first stop!"
While thinking.
The black wall of the equipment area was already in sight.
… …
The equipment factory area occupied a large area. The first level city wall built at the beginning had now become the inner city wall. On the battlements, cold machine gun muzzles were exposed, deterring anyone with bad intentions. There were also hunters from the garrison corps, patrolling back and forth 24 hours a day. Occasionally, spies sneaked into the equipment factory area, but they were quickly found out.
In the distance, there was an endless three-level city wall, tall and thick, standing in the wilderness until the end of the line of sight. It wrapped around the original mountain road, using the geographical advantage to stop any demonic beasts from attacking.
Tang Yu saw a flying demonic beast approaching and was immediately killed by the anti-aircraft artillery on the city wall. It howled miserably and fell from the sky. A hunter from the garrison corps immediately jumped down from the city wall. His line of sight was blocked by the city wall, so Tang Yu couldn't see clearly. But he could guess that it was to collect the spirit stones and important materials from the demonic beast.
During the defense period, the captured materials needed to be handed over to the corps, but he could also get some contribution points, which was equivalent to 'extra income'.
"Leader, you're finally here. Let's go see the airship." Kevin walked quickly, his long white beard fluttered in the wind, followed by a few people.
There were core members of the equipment department, and also the logistics department.
Tang Yu saw a few familiar faces … seventy to eighty percent familiar.
"This is the responsibility of the equipment department. You should have seen the airship many times."
"That's different." Kevin was very excited. "I've never seen the airship flying!"
… …
The airship was a big thing with a relatively high level of secrecy. The construction area was definitely not here, but on the mountain.
The crowd quickly arrived at the rear of the equipment department, near the mountain. In front of them was a hillside with at least 70 or 80 degrees, and an alloy door appeared in front of them.
Tang Yu's spirit power shrouded the front, and the verification light quickly turned from red to green.
The alloy door opened, and Tang Yu stepped inside.
… …
On both sides of the passage were metal-made walls. The source crystal lamp was embedded in the top of the semicircle passage, emitting a soft light.
Yang Wei and several other core members of the Equipment Department and Logistics Department followed behind the big shots, looking a little reserved.
He used to be the lowest handyman. Because of his thin body and malnutrition, even the handyman's salary was lower than others. But now, he was the director of the rune workshop. Through the Awakening Loan and the Excellent Employee Reward Fund, he bought a lot of auxiliary potions and successfully awakened.
His weekly salary was as high as 280, triple awakening, and his rune attainments were close to the intermediate rune master's. He was a proper handyman who had a counterattack and reached the pinnacle of his life.
However, Yang Wei was still very cautious. He walked on his tiptoes, not daring to make too much noise.
The one walking in front was the real big boss.
Except for Minister Kevin, he wasn't familiar with the other two. Minister Chen was known as the Shelter's Chief Butler, and the handsome and dignified young man was the mysterious Leader Tang.
The man who single-handedly established the Tree Shade Shelter was now leading them to the airship manufacturing area.
Yang Wei knew about the existence of the airship, but it was the first time he walked into this place.
While being cautious, he couldn't contain his excitement.
What kind of technology did the airship use?
How did the rune array connect together?
What were the characteristics of the structure?
How spectacular was it?
… …
Everyone was a hunter, and their footsteps weren't slow.
The passage went straight for a while and then turned into a slope up, which was enough for a truck to pass.
A few minutes later, they walked out of the passage and suddenly saw the light.
Yang Wei's mouth was slightly open.
They came to a platform located in the mountain. The trees here had been uprooted, the ground was dug flat, and a thick layer of cement was poured on it. Looking at it, the platform area was huge, at least equivalent to a dozen football fields connected together.
The edge of the mountain wall, as if it was cut by a knife, was as smooth as a mirror, and 90 degrees straight.
However, the most eye-catching thing was in front of them, a huge airship with a length of more than 50 meters. The puppet standing below was as small as an ant.
At first glance, the airship looked like a long and narrow battleship. There were huge muzzles on both sides like aircraft engines, protruding from both sides. If you look at it from the front, the whole airship looked like a V-shaped letter with legs on the left and right sides, steadily leaning on the ground.
The outside of the airship was dark blue and gray armor coating. It wasn't heavy. In addition to the main cannon, it was also loaded with a lot of powerful weapons. The unique design style and the magnificent appearance were breathtaking.
The people who saw the airship for the first time were stunned on the spot.
"Yang Wei, go check the rune pattern on the right side of the link. Huang Ming, you check the left side …" Kevin gave them a few minutes to recover and immediately assigned tasks.
"Yes, Master!"
Yang Wei and the other three core members of the Equipment Department walked to the airship with a pilgrimage mood.
Kevin shook his white beard and boarded the airship with quick steps. He was smiling like an eighty-year-old child.
Tang Yu circled the airship a few times, the more he looked, the more satisfied he was.
This was just a small airship. Medium and large ones would definitely be more spectacular and incredible. Of course, that would have to wait until he could build it.
As expected of a precious blueprint left behind from the glorious era before the Third Era.
