Volume 7 Chapter 51 - Legend Confirmed (1/2)
Five days later, there were five large transport Magic Ships, thirty guard ships, ten Magic Airships, one hundred small Magic Speed Boats, and two thousand Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards that left the harbour outside the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base.
This fleet could be considered the largest and most heavily armed fleet that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had established in their history.
Other than the two thousand guards, there were also reinforcements from each department. The ship also had three hundred people from the Lampuri Kingdom and one hundred and fifty elves from the three elf tribes, which made the member distribution very complicated.
For this fleet, their core duty was to bring goods and manpower to reinforce the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s open sea exploration fleet, helping them explore the local area, building an advance base, and also creating an appropriate communication channel.
Other than this, the extra people that came with the fleet had different missions.
For example, the people sent by the Lampuri Kingdom and the three elf tribes would be there to explore the Magic Cloud Continent. Akali’s small team was there to see if they could cooperate with the elves on their research. The Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s construction force was to help the Frestech Chamber of Commerce set up an outpost, while also inspecting the conditions of Fire Rock Island…….
In short, this fleet had many different missions. So when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce sent this fleet, they used half of the Magic Ships that they had built over the years, as well as squeezing out two thousand troops from their guards that were already short handed. It was all to make sure that this mission would go as smoothly as possible.
According to the information that Cassandra provided, this fleet should arrive at Fire Rock Island in a month if there were no accidents and meet up with the open sea exploration fleet.
Then they would stay on Fire Rock Island for half a month before sending people to explore the Magic Cloud Continent that Cassandra said wasn’t far away.
Because it was only preliminary exploration, they wouldn’t go too deeply. They would just learn a few things about the Magic Cloud Continent.
For example, the terrain, the weather, the society, and other things……
The main thing was to figure out the distribution of forces on the Magic Cloud Continent, making it easier to land in the future.
Because the dragon race didn’t care about this, they couldn’t provide any information and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had to gather it themselves.
The most important hindrance to them gathering information was that according to Cassandra, there were no humans on the Magic Cloud Continent. So when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s group that was mainly made of humans stepped on the Magic Cloud Continent, they would attract the attention of the locals and it would be hard to predict how they would react.
But Xu Yi wasn’t worried about this.
Based on the level of technology on the Sines Continent previously, the Magic Cloud Continent that was in the same world shouldn’t have been much better.
Otherwise, Cassandra wouldn’t have found the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic machines so new and strange.
The only thing that they needed to worry about was if there was a local race of the Magic Cloud Continent that had powerful battle strength.
But Cassandra had stated that there wasn’t an intelligent race on the Magic Cloud Continent that could threaten their dragon race. Even if there was such a race, they wouldn\\\'t be so strong that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards loaded with military magic machines couldn’t deal with them.
Because knew nothing about the Magic Cloud Continent, it was unknown how long this would take.
But Xu Yi had ordered the two fleets to send back reports on the first of every month so he could understand the general situation.
Of course, that didn’t mean that Xu Yi could direct them from long range.
Because it would take a month for Xu Yi to receive the reports, it was impossible to direct them with this information.
So most of the main things on the Maglc Cloud Continent would rely on the people of the fleet to handle.
Although Xu Yi didn’t feel relieved about this, he was forced into this situation.
Thinking of this helpless situation, he could only hope that Akali’s team would make a breakthrough and create the long distance communication signal as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi was a bit happy that Akali was bringing her team to Fire Rock Island to work with the dragons.
With Cassandra as an intermediary……Eh, intermediary dragon, the dragon race should have a reason to have peaceful contact with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Then with the novel magic machines of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to build a good relationship with the dragons, this would be very helpful to Akali working with the dragons.
But no matter how smoothly Akali’s research went, it was impossible to build this high latitude communication network that quickly.
So Xu Yi had no other choice.
There was no shortcut in developing technology.
He had brought the mechanical engineering theories from earth, but he had already used them all. If he wanted to depend purely on this mechanical engineering knowledge to quickly develop magic machines on the continent, that would be nothing more than wishful thinking.
In the beginning, he had played a huge role and the magic machine industry had developed very quickly, but the reason for that was because before he appeared, the Sines Continent was like a blank slate.
Now after ten years of development and research, the magic machine industry on the Sines Continent gradually became more specialized and had distinct classifications, so there were various kinds of experts appearing.
