[Cloud Whale Shelter: Generates a cloud barrier that lasts for one hour, immune to all attacks, and quickly repairs the hull. All friendly forces within the barrier can receive treatment.]

Looking at the design drawing of the airship, Ye Chuyun began to feel excited.

He hasn't been to the continent in the sky yet.

Since we need an airship to get there, we have never planned to go there.

Now that he had unexpectedly obtained it, Ye Chuyun's mind immediately became active.

The most important thing in making a flying ship is the driving core, which is the floating stone.

If there is no floating stone, even if you have the design drawings in your hand, they will be just a piece of waste paper.

As for the floating stone, Ye Chuyun knew where to get it, so it was not a big problem for him.

The biggest problem is the other materials for manufacturing the airship. For all the current forces, excluding the outside forces, the number is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Ye Chuyun did the math.

The cost of building such a flying ship would probably be at least 100 billion God and Demon coins.

This is still the lowest estimate he has made.

In reality it may be several times more.

Considering the funds he can currently mobilize, this might be a big problem.

The main reason is that the expenses are too high.

"This is really weird. I have so many money-making projects, but why do I still feel like I don't have enough money..." Ye Chuyun couldn't help but gritted his teeth and complained about himself.

Besides money, magic crystals are also a huge problem.

If an airship wants to maintain long-term flight, magic crystals are the fuel.

The higher the level of the airship, the more fuel it consumes.

Even the lowest-level airship consumes about 700-800 magic crystals per minute.

The intermediate ones are approximately between 1100 and 1200 pieces.

The advanced ones are even more terrifying, directly doubling the amount.

At first, Ye Chuyun even suspected that he had seen it wrong.

Not an hour, but a minute?

One minute would consume more than 1000 magic crystals, so what about one hour? ?

Directly 60,000!!

Moreover, this is only the minimum consumption required for the airship to operate normally.

If any special situation arises during the journey and the airship needs to speed up, more magic crystals will be consumed, and it is not surprising that the amount may increase several times.

Therefore, before driving the airship, you have to check whether you have enough magic crystals.

It is no wonder that the major forces in the previous life had such a huge demand for magic crystals.

This is simply not enough.

It is needed for war weapons, various buildings and facilities within the garrison, and various other places.

At the end of the day, the amount of magic crystals consumed was a terrifying number, no less than six figures.

But even so, Ye Chuyun still intends to build the flying ship at all costs.

In addition to being able to explore the continents in the sky, the flying ship has several other core competitive advantages.

First, no matter what type of flying ship, it will be equipped with a magic drilling arm that can remotely collect ores on the aerial continent.

For example, floating stones are generally only produced on the aerial continent.

If we can obtain first-hand resources and sell them to other forces, we can definitely make back the cost of making the airship in minutes.

There are also many very precious meteorite irons, cloud crystals, etc. on the ground, but in the sky continent they are basically like cabbages and are everywhere.

But at the current auction house, any piece of this can be sold for thirty to forty thousand God and Demon Coins.

As long as the flying ship finds an aerial continent to dock, it can just hang there and the magic drilling arm will automatically collect ore.

In other words, even if you do nothing, a flying ship will increase your income 24 hours a day.

Even so, are you still worried that you won’t be able to recover your costs?

As long as it can be produced, Ye Chuyun estimates that within half a month, all costs will be recovered, and it will be a guaranteed profit after that.

In the past, major forces basically just drove twenty or thirty flying ships and randomly found an aerial continent to dock. They just sent a few people to guard it and waited to collect the money.

There is nothing more refreshing than this.

The second core competitive advantage is the built-in element refining furnace in the cabin, which can refine ore during flight.

This ability is a bit like the Golden Stone.

It’s just that the Golden Divine Stone can transform stones into other special ores.

The element refining furnace only refines, that is, improves the purity and quality of the ore.

But even if it's just this, it's enough.

Although the Golden Divine Stone can be transformed into other special ores, the purity of the ore cannot be guaranteed.

The purity of the ore also determines the success rate and quality of the items produced.

For example, to make a Hell Chariot, you need Fire Pupil Stone.

At this moment, Ye Chuyun happened to have the Fire Pupil Stone in his hand, but its purity was only 30%.

Correspondingly, using this purity to make the Hell Chariot, the success rate might be less than 50%.

The higher the purity, the higher the success rate.

The auction house will automatically identify the purity of the ore. Generally speaking, if the purity of the same type of ore is different, the price will be slightly different.

Ye Chuyun’s plan is to use the element refining furnace to increase the purity of the ore.

In this way, using high-purity ores to increase the success rate can indirectly save costs and reduce the scrap rate of resources.

These two functions of the flying ship alone are enough to drive all the major forces crazy.

Not to mention that the airship is also the ticket to enter the sky continent.

There are many ancient ruins in the Sky Continent, which may contain extremely powerful war weapons and equipment designs.

So after getting the design drawings of the airship, Ye Chuyun almost wanted to teleport it directly back to the base and let Qian Duoduo manufacture it as soon as possible.

But he quickly suppressed the impulse.

We will be able to find the final boss soon, so there is no need to rush.

Ye Chuyun could only collect all the spoils and continue to wait for the report from his clone.
