The waves surged and the Jasmine Ship was slightly swaying on the surface of the sea.
Leslie firmly stood on the deck, not moving at all.
Now, he was no longer the rookie who vomited all over the floor when he boarded a ship for the first time. After nearly two years at sea, he had fully adapted to life on the sea, and even fell deeply in love with this kind of life.
If the current him were to return to Anvilmar City, those noble madams and young misses who screamed at him before wouldn't be able to recognize him.
Of course, those noble madams and young misses screamed for him because of his identity as the successor of the Stagg Family.
But now that the Stagg Family had disappeared from the history of the Lampari Kingdom, he as the successor had lost this most dazzling halo.
But Leslie didn't feel that this was a pity at all. He was already tired of living the life of a noble young master and now that he was living on the sea, he had found excitement that he had never thought of before. It made it harder and harder for him to leave this kind of life.
"Sir, I've received sir chairman's message!"
The adjutant on the frigate suddenly ran over with a black, hideous-looking second-generation magic communicator in his hand.
"Oh?
This means that they aren't far from here. "
Leslie took the Magic Communicator and shouted, "Hey, Xu Yi, where are you now?"
Xu Yi's laughter came from the Magic Communicator, "I say, Leslie, are you talking nonsense?
The magic signal tower on your ship has a range of less than four kilometers, where do you think we can go? "
"I'm asking for your specific location, do you want us to go and greet you?"
"We should be to the northwest, there's no need to greet us. Just head to Yala Harbour and we'll meet outside."
"Alright."
Leslie turned to give the order to the adjutant, "Send down the order, we're heading to Yala Harbour."
The adjutant left after receiving this order.
After a while, seeing the New Flyer guard ships heading towards Yala Harbour, Leslie said in an emotional voice into the Magic Communicator, "Xu Yi, I have to say, this mobile magic signal tower really is easy to use.
With this thing, the command center will be much simpler. We won't have to leave it up to fate like before. "
"This thing isn't as useful as you think.
Its effective range is currently less than four kilometers. Beyond that, you won't be able to contact it.
But when there are no problems with the tests on your Jasmine Ship, I will install the same magic signal towers on the other ships.
That way, as long as you train them properly, you'll be able to disperse them. In theory, you only need 20 frigates to cover an area of 100 square kilometers. "
"Really?
That would be great.
On the Endless Ocean, the most troublesome thing was communication.
It's fine if it's near the islands where we set up bases, but once it's too far away, there's really nothing we can do. "
Leslie paused before suddenly lowering his voice and asking, "Hey, Xu Yi, have you considered this problem this time?
If we can cover the entire sea with that communication network you mentioned, it'll be much easier for us to control it. "
Xu Yi's soft laugh came from the other side of the Magic Communicator, "Relax, I've already prepared it."
"That's good."
The frigate quickly moved across the Endless Ocean and soon, they saw a black line representing land in front of them.
At this time, in the sky to the left, there were two "dark clouds" that were flying over at strange speeds, quickly stopping above the New Flyer's guard fleet.
Leslie looked up before connecting to the Magic Communicator in his hand again.
"Hey, Xu Yi, you're not planning on coming down?"
"No need, we'll just fly over like this."
Leslie looked up at the two Magic Airships flying in the sky and his lips curled into a strange smile.
"Hei, is this a demonstration?"
In the Magic Airship above them, Xu Yi turned off the Magic Communicator in his hand and turned to look at Akali who was focused on recording. After a while, when she stopped, he asked, "What's the situation?"
Akali rubbed her sore hand and slightly knit her brows, "The magic signal isn't too stable, there are clear fluctuations in the quality of the communication."
"Un, I noticed it just now.
Then why is there this problem? "
Akali knit her brows to think for a bit before spreading her hands and saying with a sigh, "I can't come to a detailed conclusion for now.
But according to the previous situation, there should be a powerful magic wave being released by a nearby magic source, which affected the magic wave coming from the magic signal tower and the Magic Communicator.
It could also be because the frigate is moving at high speeds and the environment is changing, causing the magic signal to be unstable. "
"It's possible.
But if we're talking about the influence of the environment, the environment on land is clearly more complicated than the environment on the sea.
Since you can take care of it on land, I believe that there shouldn't be a problem on the sea. "
Akali looked up and flicked her beautiful shoulder length hair as she said with a proud look, "Of course, don't you know who I am?"
Xu Yi laughed before heading into the cockpit.
This time there was no Evita in the cockpit of the Magic Airship because she was still in the main base preparing to sell the military magic machines to the Sack Kingdom with Kennard. So she had only sent her research team that was in charge of researching the Magic Airship.
Xu Yi simply asked them about the situation of the newly built Magic Airship behind them. After confirming that there were no accidents on the way, he returned to the middle cabin and patiently waited.
Although they could see the black line that represented land in the distance, it was actually very far away. The two Magic Airships were following the New Flyer's guard fleet in the sky. The ten guard ships were moving at forty kilometers an hour, but it took them over half an hour to reach land.
Seeing the Kandla Empire flag and the Kandla Empire navy flag fluttering in the wind, Xu Yi ordered the two Magic Airships to prepare to land.
When the ten guard ships arrived at Yala Harbour, the two Magic Airships slowly landed in the open space of Yala Harbour.
When the hatch opened and Xu Yi came out, he saw Russell leading a group of people over.
Although he had a warm smile on his face, if one looked carefully, they would find that Russell's eyes were slightly narrowed. The meaning in his eyes was completely different from the expression on his face.
"Chairman Xu, welcome."
Russell came over to greet Xu Yi. Although his tone wasn't cold, it wasn't warm at all.
Xu Yi naturally knew why Russell had this kind of attitude, so he didn't mind at all. Rather he warmly took Russell's hand and shook it as he said with a laugh, "Sir Russell, being able to meet you in the Kandla Empire really makes me very happy."
The forced smile on Russell's face froze. He let go of Xu Yi's hand and made an inviting gesture.
"Chairman Xu, please come in and sit."
"Alright."
Xu Yi led Russell into Yala Harbour with a smile. Looking around, his eyes fell onto the Yala Harbour and he pointed at a white New Flyer guard ship with the Kandla Empire's flag as he asked, "Sir Russell, this guard ship has been serving your country's navy during this time, I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"
Hearing this question, the expressions of Russell and the Kandla Empire's navy officers behind them all changed.
Russell turned to take a deep look at Xu Yi before slowly nodding, "Chairman Xu, are you doing this on purpose?"
"On purpose?
What on purpose? "Xu Yi asked back in surprise.
Russell heavily snorted, "Chairman Xu, you clearly know that we invited you here to discuss the maintenance of the guard ship, yet you come here to ask this kind of question. Are you deliberately criticizing us?"
Although New Flyer had signed an agreement with the Kandla Empire's navy to sell them three guard ships, it would take at least next year for the three guard ships to be completed.
And Russell was eager to prove to the Empire's navy and military that his insistence on purchasing the guard ships was correct. Therefore, after discussing with New Flyer, they decided to first transfer one of the guard ships from New Flyer's guard ships to the Kandla Empire's navy for use, which was the one in front of them.
After this guard ship entered service with the Kandla Empire's navy, it performed well for the first few months, but it suddenly became unusable last month.
The Kandla Empire's navy couldn't solve the problem, so they could only ask for help from New Flyer.
Although New Flyer had sent people to solve it, not long after, a similar problem occurred.
This time, after the Magic Ship engineers sent by New Flyer checked it, they didn't hesitate to point out to the Kandla Empire's navy that they normally didn't maintain the guard ship properly, which was why there were so many problems with the guard ship.
The Kandla Empire's navy was helpless and after discussing it, they could only invite New Flyer to discuss the maintenance of the guard ship. This was to prevent similar problems from occurring after the other two guard ships were delivered.
Xu Yi quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I didn't mean this at all.
Sir Russell, I'm just asking if you're satisfied with the performance of this frigate during this period of time. Is there any aspect that you feel is lacking?
This is just a normal request, don't misunderstand. "
Hearing this explanation, the expressions of Russell and the Kandla Empire's navy officers behind him relaxed. Russell turned to point at a young officer who wasn't even forty years old and said, "This Morning Light guard ship has been under the command of lieutenant colonel Nolan during this time. Lieutenant colonel Nolan, tell Chairman Xu about your experience with the Morning Light during this time."
