Chapter 108 Haiyan

  Denglan Shipyard.

  In a wide building built with steel skeletons, a salesman with a mustache in a black vest is leading Colin slowly to visit.

   "...Our Denglan Shipyard is the largest shipyard on the entire Bananca Island!

  The giant ship Seagull, which was successfully launched not long ago, is a birthday gift made by our Denglan Shipyard for the 500th birthday of Master Bananka Wizard! "

  Colin nodded slightly as he listened.

   It was already the second day after he arrived at Bananka Island.

   On the recommendation of a middle-aged guide hired by the island yesterday, he came to the largest Denglan shipyard on the island, and was going to learn about the market conditions of steam ships.

   "Seagull is 128 meters long and 32 meters wide. It is a well-deserved 10,000-ton ship."

  The mustache salesman continued to introduce him enthusiastically.

   "We are the only ones who have the technology to build this kind of giant ship on Bananca Island."

  Colin moved his lips, wanting to follow the trend to ask the price, but resisted the urge in the next second, and swallowed the question.

   turned to ask: "Is there a ship that is reliable, durable, and easy to operate? It doesn't matter if it has a small space."

   "It's best if two or three people can operate it." He emphasized again.

  In the previous life, in a world without extraordinary powers, generally speaking, the bigger the better the ships used for ocean voyages.

  The wind and wave resistance and material loading capacity of large ships are not comparable to small ships.

  The bigger it is, the more it can resist possible dangers at sea and improve the safety of ocean-going voyages.

   But in this world, the existence of witchcraft makes the size of the ship less important in ocean voyages.

  The ability to resist wind and waves, as well as material loading, does not necessarily require a large ship, and there are other solutions.

   "Of course, sir." The salesman replied without hesitation upon hearing his request.

   "A ship like this is the best-selling ship type in our shipyard other than giant ships!"

   Speaking of this, the salesman with Bazihu ​​paused, and said again: "After all, you know that sailing at sea is not about the more people the better."

   "A crew with too little strength will only be a burden when sailing in the ocean.

  And the resources needed to support a powerful crew are not a small amount. "

  Colin nodded in agreement.

   "I wonder what your approximate budget is?" The mustache salesman asked again, and then added: "The price of the type of ships we have here ranges from 500 magic stones to 150,000 magic stones."

   "Give me an introduction." Colin replied calmly.

   "Okay." The mustache salesman nodded readily, and then added:

   "Then I'll take you to look through the introduction album first, and when I see something suitable, and there are existing ships in the dock, I'll bring you over to actually experience it. Can you see it?"

   "Yes." Colin nodded.

  The two went to the reception room not far away side by side.

  …

   After half a day.

  Colin walked out of Denglan Shipyard.

  Recalling everything I saw in the past half day, I felt a little eye-opening.

  The addition of witchcraft made the ordinary ship completely deviate from the inherent cognition in his mind.

  Take the small and medium-sized ships he saw as an example with a total length of ten to twenty-five meters.

  Some of the high-end models can not only sail on the sea surface, but also sail underwater and even in the sky!

  Of course, the price is not something he can afford, it costs 100,000 magic stones.

   It was these ships that opened his mind. Thinking about going to the Siya continent, maybe you don’t need to sail...

  Airline might be a better choice.

  But soon, he dismissed this idea under the popularization of Denglan Shipyard's sales.

   There are many reasons.

  But they can be summed up in two words—

  No money.

  Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

  ‘I have to sell the golden clover as soon as possible. '

  In the short half day, he selected three favorite ships.

   Hmm...or a favorite ship, and two cheaper alternatives.

  Denglan Shipyard named his favorite ship Haiyan.

  There is no existing ship in the shipyard, but according to the album—

  Haiyan is about 18 meters long, with two floors in total, and an open-air watchtower on the top. The overall hull is made of light alloy steel specially made by Denglan Shipyard.

  This alloy brings lighter weight to Haiyan, coupled with its own streamlined shape, it makes its overall energy consumption reach the lowest level among ships of the same type.

   At the same time, its sailing speed is also very impressive—the maximum sailing speed can reach 35 knots when the wind is downwind, and the normal cruising speed is about 32 knots.

   Such speed.

   means that it took nearly half a year to reach the Siya continent by a three-masted sailing ship. Now if you take the Haiyan, you can arrive there in less than a month!

  In addition, the Haiyan also integrated a large-scale witchcraft device called the Siren's Heart, which gave it the ability to drive itself, resist wind and waves, prevent rollover, detect, and hide itself to a certain extent.

  In this way, with the assistance of Siren Heart, this Haiyan can even be controlled freely by only one person.

   As for the disadvantages.

   Maybe it's the price.

   Colin sighed and walked aimlessly.

   In the ship album, the printed price of Haiyan is 16,000 magic stones.

  The mustache sale gave a discounted price of 14,999.

   These two, no matter which one it is, are sky-high prices for him.

  The other two cheaper ships, either the hull is made of ordinary steel, or there is no siren heart, requiring more crew sailors to control.

  Although it is not too bad, but if he has a choice, he still wants to buy Haiyan.

   After all, the journey of tens of thousands of nautical miles, the better the ship, the safer it is.

   What's more, when he arrives in the Siya continent, he can sell the Haiyan and turn it into his own resources again.

  Thinking like this, before he knew it, he had already walked near Lambay Street.

  As the middle-aged apprentice wizard said.

  Lambe Street is the most prosperous commercial street in the entire Bananca Island.

  Bookstores, witchcraft shops, witchcraft crystal shops, and all kinds of shops.

  Of course, the auction house is also indispensable.

   Walking along the alleyway, Colin followed the plan and walked towards the auction that he had chosen earlier.

   Knowing the market price of the ship, the next step is naturally to sell the Mackintosh Gold Clover.

  If the McIntosh gold clover was worth a lot…

   At this moment.

   Tap Tap —

  In front of the narrow black masonry alleyway, a tall, bald figure slowly walked out.

  In the alleyway, Colin, who was walking quickly, frowned slightly, and gradually stopped.

  He turned his head and looked behind him.

   As expected, a figure appeared behind him. Wearing a gray vest, on the bare chest, there are large witchcraft tattoos.

   It looks like a ray.

   It's just that the fangs are ferocious and the shape is terrifying, which is a little different from the ordinary rays that you usually see.

  These two wizards should be the sea dogs that the middle-aged guide said yesterday.

  The common name for the gang wizards of Bananca Island.

   "Don't be nervous, friend." The bald man in front of him spread his hands and smiled.

   "We don't have any malicious intentions, it's just that the business in the gang has not been doing well recently, so I would like to invite you to take care of me..."

   Shua!

   Before he finished speaking, his complexion suddenly changed, and he stepped back slightly.

when!

  A metal cone projectile embedded in the stone slab at his feet in front of him, hitting a deep pit full of cracks.
