Chapter 1203 Invitation
~Date:~October 28~
Fortunately, Lin Li learned a lot from the Star, especially the design of the Star's power system, which seemed to have opened a new door for him. Although it was impossible for him to completely copy the power system on the Star to the warship under construction, but inspired by it, he was completely confident in designing a power system that was more suitable for this warship.
The people in charge of the shipyard, especially the shipbuilding masters hired from various places, could not help but have their eyes gleam as they listened to Lin Li explain the design of the new power system. Some people even couldn't help but marvel when they heard the wonderful things. The ingenious designs were also like entering a whole new world for them.
The power system is the foundation, and then there is the battleship's defense system, firepower system, etc. Of course, the design of the Star will not be copied immediately, but every detail will be determined according to the actual situation of the battleship being built. correction. It is conceivable that when this battleship is completed, even if it is not as good as the Star, it will definitely be the most powerful battleship in today's Anriel world.
However, Lin Li had the Star to learn from the technical issues, so there were no problems that were too difficult to solve. However, after the original design is modified, building this new warship will require greater investment. For example, in terms of materials, this is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
Think about what would happen if the giant alchemy ship of Jindu Kingdom was replaced with a hull made of wood! Lin Li didn't need to worry about it. The battleship he built based on the Star had ended up being like a tiger that could not be compared to a dog. Even if this battleship cannot meet the standards of the Star, it must be the best it can be, and this material is very critical.
According to Lin Li's new design, the new battleship requires a large amount of rare magic metals, which can no longer be met by the resources held by the Dusk Tower itself. However, in order to put pressure on the Kingdom of Jindu, almost all the forces in the Qingfeng Plain have suspended or reduced their transactions with the Kingdom of Jindu, many of which deal with rare magic metals. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tower of Dusk successfully took over the inventory from those forces at a more favorable price than the Kingdom of Jindu.
And those forces are also happy with the intervention of the Tower of Dusk. After all, it is not for sale to anyone, and the Tower of Dusk does not deliberately lower the price due to its influence. Moreover, even if the transaction with Jindu Kingdom is resumed in the future, it will not be easy for Jindu Kingdom to lower the price based on the price raised by Dusk Tower this time.
soon. The shipyard began to build a newly designed warship in an orderly manner, and due to Lin Li's personal participation, although the design of the warship was much more demanding than before, the construction progress was actually faster. Of course, Lin Li is not only focused on building battleships, he will also return to Sky City from time to time to guide the renovation project of Sky City.
Days like this are not leisurely at all. Because there are many problems on both sides that need Lin Li to guide and solve. but. Compared with Lin Li's previous adventurous life or his study life in an upside-down tower, these days can't be said to be so busy.
Time flies so fast, and the Qingfeng Plain can be said to be calm. Not only did the Kingdom of Jindu not make any more noise, but also the forces in the Qingfeng Plain, after they truly surrendered to the Tower of Dusk, did not have any reason for each other. Go to war for profit.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye. The warship built in the shipyard of Alterland is also in the final stage, and it will not be long before it can be launched into the water for trial sea trials. Moreover, in the past few months, the Tower of Twilight has also purchased a few magic crystal naval guns from the Kingdom of Jindu. After Lin Li and Angelano's modifications, these magic crystal naval guns were not installed on the Sky City for the time being, but were used to arm the newly built warships.
but. Just as the new warship was preparing for its trial voyage, the Kingdom of Jindu, which had been silent for a long time, finally made another big noise. Of course, this time they were not looking for trouble, but sent a special envoy, claiming to be on a friendly visit to the Tower of Dusk.
Leading this envoy was naturally Kantoli, who was the special envoy of the Kingdom of Jindu, and the elder Zuma of the Illuminati. At the same time, he was accompanied by nearly a hundred people. The size of the envoy was already large enough for both countries. Due to the rules of diplomacy, especially with Elder Zuma, a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, I am afraid that even the diplomacy between the two countries may not be worthy of having this Sanctuary powerhouse come forward.
Of course, there is no feeling of being flattered at Dusk Tower. Isn't it natural for the opponent to have a strong man from the holy realm? Our president is also a real strong man from the holy realm. What's more, Jindu Kingdom's shirk on the magic crystal naval gun transaction also made many magicians in the Twilight Tower very unhappy. Not shutting out people like Jindu Kingdom is already giving them a lot of face. .
When the envoy from the Kingdom of Jindu arrived, Lin Li was still in the shipyard at the Port of Oatland, conducting a final comprehensive inspection of the newly built warship. After receiving the news from the Tower of Twilight, he did not deliberately ignore the people of Jindu Kingdom. He only carefully completed the inspection work before directly cutting through the space and returning to the Tower of Twilight.
When Lin Li returned to the Tower of Twilight, Gavin, as a senior executive of the Tower of Twilight, was receiving the envoys from the Kingdom of Jindu. In the reception hall of the tower, there were others to entertain others.
"Elder Zuma, long time no see. Why did you think of coming to my place as a guest today?" Lin Li stepped into the reception hall and greeted Elder Zuma with a smile.
Seeing Lin Li walking in, Elder Zuma immediately stood up from his seat and said with a smile on his face: "I'm ashamed to say that last time on Cage Island, President Fei Lei came to help me, but I haven't expressed it properly yet. Thank you♀We are here to pay a friendly visit to the Tower of Dusk, and we also want to express our gratitude to President Ferre for the matter of Cage Island."
After the battle on Cage Island, Elder Zuma already had a very high evaluation of Lin Li's strength, so he did not put on any airs in front of Lin Li. Contoli, on the other hand, had the same diplomat-like smile on his face, but there was still a bit of displeasure in his eyes.
"Haha, what's there to say thank you for? Strictly speaking, it's just a transaction. If you really want to thank me, I hope that your Jindu Kingdom can fulfill the agreement between us, even if you give us what we want Prepare the magic crystal cannon." Lin Li said half-jokingly and half-seriously. That means you'd better stop talking nonsense. If you don't know who you are, don't procrastinate on the order for the magic crystal naval gun.
"This, President Ferre has misunderstood. We do have difficulties. It is not easy to manufacture magic crystal naval guns. We still have to provide enough spare magic crystal naval guns for our country's warships. But don't worry, once the new magic crystal naval guns are Once it is produced, we will give priority to meeting the needs of the Tower of Twilight." Elder Zuma is also a veteran, and when faced with Lin Li's complaints, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. On the contrary, it was so sincere.
Lin Li did not continue to embarrass the other party. He walked to his seat, turned around and said to Elder Zuma: "Elder Zuma, please sit down. Although you are not here to give me magic crystal naval guns this time, you are coming to the Tower of Twilight. Guest, if you have anything to do, sit down and talk."
"President Ferre, the main reason we are here this time is to extend an invitation to you. Soon it will be the founding celebration of our Kingdom of Jindu. As the special envoy of the Kingdom of Jindu, I am entrusted by His Majesty the King to invite you as our Friends of Jindu Kingdom can participate in our founding celebration." Kantoli said as he took out a beautifully made invitation and handed it to Lin Li with a smile on his face.
friend? Hearing this, the people present at Dusk Tower. I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, those who play politics are indeed hypocritical. As for the celebration of the founding of the country, everyone knows that it is nothing more than a display of national power to intimidate those who dare to be enemies of the Kingdom of Jindu.
If this trick is used on other forces or kingdoms, it may have some effect, but if it is used on the Tower of Twilight, the Kingdom of Jindu may have made the wrong idea. Tower of Dusk now. There is the president who is a strong man in the high-level sanctuary, there is the Sky City, a war artifact built by the high elves, and there is also an elite group of mages. If everyone showed their strength, who would be able to intimidate whom?
Lin Li looked at the invitation in his hand and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Kingdom of Jindu has been inherited in Heng for thousands of years and has a completely different style from other countries in the mainland. I would like to see it if I have the opportunity. In addition to our Dusk Tower , you must have invited other forces."
"Yes, this time coincides with our country's Millennium Celebration, and the scale is far larger than usual. In addition to inviting the Dusk Tower, Mithril Alliance, Caesar Family, Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and other forces from the Breeze Plain are also invited. ." Kantoli had nothing to hide, and he seemed quite proud in his words. He had obviously thought about how surprised the forces in Qingfeng Plain would be when they saw the strength displayed by Jindu Kingdom.
Hearing Kantoli's answer, everyone at the Dusk Tower immediately understood. Obviously, the main thing that the Kingdom of Jindu wanted to frighten was not the Dusk Tower, but other forces in the Qingfeng Plain. They want to use this so-called founding celebration to show the strength of the Kingdom of Jindu to other forces on the Qingfeng Plane and let those forces choose between the Tower of Dusk and the Kingdom of Jindu.
In fact, the Kingdom of Jindu had played this trick as early as the Cage Island incident. Why didn't they just take the battleship to Cage Island to complete their so-called reinforcement of the seal mission? Instead, they chose to go overland with a large force and cross the Blackwater Swamp and Leviathan Canyon. Isn't it just to show the power of Jindu Kingdom in front of these forces in Qingfeng Plain? Unfortunately, in the end, this performance completely exceeded the script formulated by the Jindu Kingdom. Not only did it not have much of a deterrent effect, but it had to ask for help from various forces in the Tower of Dusk and the Breeze Plains.
"Okay, by the way, didn't you just say that the magic crystal naval guns are too bulky to transport? Why don't you prepare a batch of magic crystal naval guns for me first? After attending your founding celebration, we can directly transport those magic crystals ourselves The naval guns have been shipped back." Lin Li made such a request directly to Contoli and the others without delaying anything.
The Kingdom of Jindu was dragging its feet and refusing to honor the deal for the magic crystal naval guns. One of the excuses was that the magic crystal naval guns were inconvenient to transport. In just one month, they could only trade two magic crystal naval guns for the Tower of Dusk. Of course, this excuse can be regarded as a fact to a certain extent. Large magic crystal naval guns are indeed inconvenient to transport. A standard cargo ship can only transport one magic crystal naval gun at a time. Jindu Kingdom can only transport one magic crystal naval gun at a time. If we run two cargo ships, we can indeed only transport two doors.
Lin Li, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic and wanted to solve this problem for the Jindu Kingdom. No matter how many magic crystal naval guns there are, they will not be any burden to his Ring of Endless Storm. If he is allowed to open it up, he may even be able to use it on the entire fleet of Jindu Kingdom. The Ring of Endless Storm is back.
However, Kantoli and the others didn't know that Lin Li actually had such incredible storage items in his hands. After all, in the entire Anriel world, magic props for space storage are very rare and expensive, let alone a space as large as the Ring of Endless Storm. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net Generally speaking, even if they are not expensive, the kind of space storage props that are called artifacts in myths only have a few cubic meters of space at most. A few cubic meters of space cannot fit even the most common magic crystal cannon, let alone a magic crystal naval gun.
Therefore, after hearing Lin Li's words, instead of being angry, Cantoli had a flash of ridicule in his eyes and said with a smile: "Really, President Ferre is willing to share the pressure of transporting magic crystal naval guns for us? It’s not too late for us to be happy, please rest assured that as long as you have enough transportation capacity, we will definitely satisfy you even if we use the navy’s reserves.”
When Kantoli said this, Elder Zuma next to him felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. As a high-level holy domain powerhouse, the only possibility he could think of was, That is, the other party may use the domain world to collect all the magic crystal naval guns into the domain world. However, the domain world is not omnipotent, and the strong men of the holy domain are not gods. It is impossible to open the domain world all the time and transport the magic crystal naval gun from the Kingdom of Jindu back to the Qingfeng Plain.
Therefore, Zuma did not stop Kantoli. Instead, after Kantoli finished speaking, he said to Lin Li: "President Ferre, let's put the matter of the magic crystal naval gun aside for now. I have one more thing to do here." , I believe you will be interested."
