Chapter 499 Cake
Large engineering port.
The aerospace ship slowly adjusted its angle, turning its somewhat faded armored hull into the steel frame.
The aerostat engine running at low power can maintain the aerospace ship at a fixed angle in the air without moving at very low consumption. In this case, it is only necessary to extend the frame from the port to fix the aerospace ship and it is already berthed. .
The low-power aerostat engine can keep the aerospace ship from moving in the air with extremely low consumption. Engineers climb to the top of the aerospace ship and connect to the steel frame protruding from the port to complete the parking.
Next, lock the frame.
Of course, in most cases, aerospace ships will not be suspended in mid-air like this, which is inconvenient for personnel to load and unload cargo.
The 꺘10-meter-long aerostat is too light to be used as a flat surface like the 100-meter-long 꽭 airship of the Rim Island Alliance.
However, the lightweight aerostat can be docked directly in the warehouse area to unload cargo, without having to worry about its own weight and size causing serious damage to nearby buildings.
"The cruising force that needs maintenance...enters through Channel 꺘, and Channel 1 is reserved for the transport fleet."
The signal tower built in the large-scale engineering port switches signal flags to command various arriving aerospace ships.
Some of the iron-gray fast aerostats belonging to the territory are towing a large number of aerostats with wooden structures behind them. Their design style is completely different from the metal ships of the territory.
Through the porthole, you can see a group of dejected guys bundled inside the cabin.
This is a floating ship belonging to the demihumans.
"Patrol team, take Channel 8 and send it to the dock to check if there is any development value..."
If the demihuman fleet wants to develop resources in the nearby airspace, it must obtain a resource development license. How could Ji Lin allow these outsiders to develop other resources in this airspace so comfortably.
You have to pay! (loudly)
놛It’s not unreasonable. First of all, you must be certified by the territory’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and that you are a qualified and inescapable group.
Then the developed resources can only be sold at the territory's port... and purchased according to the pricing of the territory's commercial department.
In this way, Ji Lin chose to only charge 10% of the tax, which was 10% less than the governor.
놛An island that cannot be developed
What? Are you asking about illegal mining without a resource development license?
In addition to leading the territory's transport fleet to harvest floating stones and various special rare resources in the nearby airspace, the patrol team of the territory is constantly hunting down all kinds of people who want to secretly exploit the island's resources while they are away. Guy.
꺘The suppression effect of the ten-meter-class fast cruiser is remarkable.
Plenty of firepower and fast movement.
If you encounter a large one, you will directly take advantage of the additional armor on the outer layer to hit it and complete the control of the ship.
I can't run and I can't fight, I can't fight and I can't fight.
The ownership of the ship was changed, the resisters were killed on the spot, and the surviving personnel surrendered to work in labor facilities established on large empty islands.
Every once in a while, a patrol team with abundant morale can bring back new human resources for the labor facilities in the territory.
The recovered ships were originally stored for technical reserves or dismantled on site. However, at the request of Jiang Liu, who was in charge of commercial work... some of the aerostats captured by the patrol were re-invested in the market. .
(Jiang Liu, the first guy sent out by the territory to run business, brought back a lot of seeds from the demihuman city to open up a route connecting the two cities for the territory.)
These low-priced ships are sold out in the first place.
Even now, there are still many demi-human captains waiting for the commercial department built in the territory, eagerly waiting for their cheap ships.
As for these ships being unclean, they have soul rings and so on.
We don't care, what matters is having money!
Then Jiang Liu, who was in charge of commerce, began to think about whether to sell specialized low-end ships to these demihuman captains.
Nowadays, the only person with commercial shipbuilding capabilities in this airspace is the governor of the Heyuan Kingdom. The construction of aerial ships requires an entire production line and a dock. This is not something that any demihuman force can do.
The governor who is in charge of major cities has almost a monopoly on all aerospace ship production business, firmly holding this most important piece of cake in 꿛뀞.
It only takes a little processing and control of the flow of resources, and you can easily withdraw the resources from the people into your own possession.
Moreover, subsequent maintenance and modification can only be carried out in places approved by the Governor.
Even those who can do it, or want to do it, will be knocked on the door by the Governor's cruiser fleet at the first opportunity.
The aerostat business is really profitable.
If possible, 놛 would like some demi-human craftsmen to help make simplified versions of the ships. This would reduce the work pressure in the territory and at the same time... allow the demi-humans to share the manufacturing pressure of the territory.
Civilian ships.
Civilian ships can feed back the territory, as long as the parts and semi-finished products are made of common materials, it can reduce labor hours and production costs for the territory.
"Our personnel...if you mean the efficiency of resource development, it is about 300% higher than that of our own development. It may be feasible to use civilian aerospace ships to stimulate vitality...but you need to make a proposal and submit it to the lord ”
After consulting Chang Heng, Jiang Liu thought about it and made a proposal to submit to his lord.
Manufacturing aerostats is a piece of cake, why can't we participate in it... What's more, if we let other lords advance, they may not make so much money when they seize the market.
Once you use the airships we produce.
All the supporting equipment, replacement parts, and expansion modules.
You can only get them from me, because only my parts use this standard and are compatible with expansion.
Even maintenance can only be done from me, because only I have skilled enough technical workers.
Deeply bind all groups using territory airships with the territory.
Just like the heavy industrial system of modern humans, heavy industrial equipment does not make money, but the subsequent supporting equipment expansion and maintenance of the equipment.
You can enjoy the benefits of industry here, but if you leave me, there will be no such cheap alternatives outside.
The idea is beautiful... but...
This is a big project.
A big project in scientific research.
Jiang Liu thought of the dean who was still on Sky Island.
Maybe I should consult him?
