Chapter 40 You will not be alone
After seeing off Haiyince, Xu Yi processed several documents at hand, turned around and looked out the window, thought for a while, drove the magic car away from the private manor and headed towards the shipyard.
As soon as I approached the shipyard, I heard a deafening roar on the sea in the distance.
Turning around, I saw a water column rising from the sea, which was more than ten meters high.
At this time, the sunlight shone obliquely from the sea to the west, and the water droplets fell, splashing the sky, making the sunlight colorful and look extremely gorgeous.
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the place where the water column fell, then turned his head, and his eyes fell about 500 meters away from the water column. A medium-sized magic ship parked on the sea was about thirty long and five or six meters high. It looked a little close to the magic charge boat, but it was several times larger and looked even thinner.
As soon as his eyes turned, a bright blue light suddenly appeared on the medium-sized magic ship. Then he saw a small black dot shooting out with a fiery red light, drawing a long parabola in the air on the sea, landing on the sea more than 500 meters away.
"boom--"
There was another loud bang, and the sea surface that had just returned to peace was blasted out again by a column of water more than ten meters high. Huge ripples swung away from the explosion point one by one, pushing a rotten wooden boat parked dozens of meters away to keep shaking.
Seeing that the rotten wooden boat was still intact, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
This target is still intact, which is really disappointing.
After glanced at the medium-sized magic ship in the distance, Xu Yi's body moved his magic power and his whole body disappeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, he appeared out of thin air on the deck of the medium-sized magic ship more than a thousand meters away from the coast.
Lumi on the deck was the first to react, and turned around and saw Xu Yi appearing from the void. She immediately smiled like a happy little girl and won.
"Hey, President, why are you here today?"
"I just happened to be idle. I want to see how you progress." Xu Yi responded and greeted the others who reacted after hearing Lumi's greeting. "How is it? Is there any progress? I saw that wooden boat used as a target is still fine."
When everyone, including Lumi, looked at each other, and at the same time showed a hint of shame on his face.
"This..." Potterou, a dwarf engineer who is mainly responsible for the shipboard magic artillery project, scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "Sir, the progress is indeed not good. We have been conducting actual artillery fire tests for three days, and so far... except Captain Fario, no one else has ever hit a shot..."
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Fario, the elf captain of the New Air Chamber of Commerce guards who was firmly fixed on the deck like a tree. "Fario, why can only you shoot? But others can't?"
Fario replied expressionlessly: "Because our elves have much higher shooting talent than them."
"Is that true?" Xu Yi's eyes flashed over the other people on the deck and found that there was another elf inside the pile of people. He pointed at him and asked, "Why didn't Ildan shoot?"
Fario glanced at Ildan with a faint glance: "Ildan is now a researcher, not a warrior. His talent has been abandoned."
Ildan coughed lightly, looking embarrassed.
"Well, I admit that Fario's shooting talent is better than others, but what we need to know now is, what exactly is your talent? That is, what exactly do you use to shoot? And the others can't shoot?" Xu Yi asked.
Fario frowned slightly. After thinking about it, he replied, "I think... the most important thing is that our elves' eyesight is much better than other races. Secondly, because our elves' warriors are generally proficient in bows and arrows, and are used to judging and correcting them by the trajectory of the bows and arrows. Well... Actually, I didn't hit the first few shots. But after firing a few times, I figured out the rules and the next few shots can hit it."
Xu Yi immediately turned his head to look at Potru, frowned and said, "Since Fario has figured out the rules, why don't you ask him for advice and improve based on his experience?"
Potru's hands were spread helplessly: "Sir, this is the talent of their elves, and nothing can replace them."
"No, I don't think so." Xu Yi shook his head. "In terms of the vision advantages of the elves, you can try to install modified telescopes on the magic cannon to solve the problem. As for what Fario said, summarizing the rules... have you forgotten what I said? The so-called rules are actually the process of constantly accurately measuring the data."
Potru's expression moved: "Sir, Lord. Do you mean... let us and Fario keep experimenting with artillery shooting, and then conducting data statistics and fine-tuning here?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Yi said angrily: "Do you have been working on magic machinery research and development for so long? Do you still understand this?"
Potterou touched his head and muttered: "It's only the first time we've developed a magic cannon, and we're not skilled enough..."
"Then let yourself be proficient as soon as possible!" Xu Yi glared at him, left him and continued to work with a bunch of other engineers. The researchers cooperated with Fario to study the ship-based magic cannon, and he pulled Lumi aside.
"Hey, Lumi, how do you feel in the shipyard during this period?" Xu Yi asked.
"Very good." Lumi replied with a smile. "Everyone is very nice to me, and I'm very happy that there are many people here to communicate with me about magic and mechanical things."
"Is that so? That's good." Xu Yi nodded. "But there is only you, the dwarf clan, and you will still feel lonely, right?"
A look of gloomy looked across Lumi's little face, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Sometimes I do feel lonely, but I have been like this for almost a hundred years and I have been used to it for a long time."
Then he was excited again.
"But it doesn't matter! After staying in the shipyard for so long, I firmly believe that we will be able to create a magic ship that can easily complete ocean voyages! At that time, as long as I drive the magic ship to find another continent, I can see my tribesmen!"
"Haha, that will take at least several years. Before that, have you ever thought about the possibility of meeting other tribesmen in advance?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Hmm? What does it mean?"
"Lumi, the last time you said. The last time you know about other people was when they left the Synes continent more than two thousand years ago. Is that true?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
"But I found out from the various documents I have read during this period. After the dwarf migration more than two thousand years ago, various rumors about dwarfs appeared sporadically. Although these are just rumors and there is no tangible evidence, after seeing you with your own eyes and discovering your existence, I thought of a possibility."
"What's the possibility?" It seemed that he could hear the hidden meaning in Xu Yi's words, and a little bit of light flashed in Lumi's big eyes.
"Look, you and your family did not choose to leave the Synez continent. Instead, they stayed. In addition to your family, there are likely other dwarfs who choose to stay like you. So I think, there are probably not only you on the Synez continent now, but there should be other tribe members."
Lumi stared wide: "Really? Can you find them, then president?"
"I can't guarantee that this is true, nor can I guarantee that I can find them, but I can have a way to find them, but before that, I need to get your consent and support."
"If I could find my tribe, I would be willing to do whatever I wanted me to do!" Lumi immediately replied loudly.
"Very good." Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "Lumi, the method I want to adopt is a stupid method, which is to spread your news throughout the Continent of Synes. It is best to spread this news to the ears of other possible dwarfs, so that they know that you still exist on this continent. If they also want to find tribe members, I think they will definitely come to you."
"Can you really spread this news throughout the continent?" Lumi was a little suspicious.
"I dare not say anything else, but at least the surrounding countries are guaranteed to be fine. After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce develops into other countries in the future, I can also spread the news to other countries." Xu Yi said affirmatively. "But there will be a problem."
“What’s the problem?”
"That's that you will become a celebrity. Lumi, you should be very clear about the rarity of the dwarfs on the Synes continent now. If people know your existence, it will definitely cause a big sensation. In order for your news to be conveyed and other dwarfs to know that you must also show up in public and show your identity. This will have a huge impact on your life. Do you think this is OK?"
Lumi's two delicate eyebrows were deeply frowning.
Although she did not understand the troubles of celebrities that Xu Yi mentioned. However, when she thought that she would be treated as rare objects by many humans, she felt that this scene would definitely make people trouble.
However, when she thought of the possibility that Xu Yi mentioned, she felt that this proposal was full of temptation.
Xu Yi looked at Lumi quietly, not urging her.
In fact, it took him a long time to make this decision.
The reason for doing this is actually due to careful consideration.
Although Lumi always said that as long as she goes deep into the endless sea and finds another continent, she can find her own tribe members.
However, even if the dwarfs more than two thousand years ago have studied magical machinery, they are far from comparable to the current technological level of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
With the level of sea ships at that time, going deep into the endless sea to sail the ocean would be a life-and-death life.
If you look at it pessimistically, the dwarfs are most likely to die in the endless sea.
Even if the dwarfs have found a new continent, it is still unknown that they can live in a stable and continue to survive on the new continent.
More than two thousand years have passed, and anything can happen.
There is a great possibility that the dwarfs who left the Continent of Sains completely disappeared, and the only dwarfs left in the Continent of Sains remain in this world.
If this is true, it would be a tragedy that Lumi has always longed for infinity to explore the ocean voyage.
So before that, Xu Yi decided that it would be best to try his best to find out the dwarfs on the Synes continent.
In this way, even if the dwarf tribe who left the Synes continent could not be found, Lumi would not be left alone from now on, until she finally faced the biggest tragedy of extermination.
Through Lumi's performance during the period when she entered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi was sure that the dwarfs did have special talents in magical machinery.
The addition of Lumi has greatly improved the research and development progress of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in many magic machinery, and has also inspired many concepts of new magic machinery and improved the original various magic machinery.
If more dwarfs can join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly make the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more powerful in the technological research and development of magic machinery.
Of course, in private, Xu Yi did think that Lumi was alone was so pitiful.
Lumi thought for a long time before then she looked up at Xu Yi and nodded slowly.
"Okay, President, that's it. If I can find other tribe members, I would be very grateful."
Xu Yi smiled slightly and patted Lumi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I believe you will never be lonely."
Lumi said "um" heavily, and a smile appeared on her little face.
Xu Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Since Lumi, you agree, from tomorrow, you will have to report to Steele every day. Do you understand?"
"Ah?" Lumi was stunned. "Why do you need to report to Steele?
"Because... you will become a star in the future." (To be continued)
