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 floating stone engine can keep the floating ship in the air without moving at very low consumption. Engineers climb to the top of the floating ship and manually access the protruding steel frame on the port to complete the parking.

Access, 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 thirty-meter-class aerostat is too light to be used as a flat surface like the 140-meter-long skyship of the Island-Ring Alliance.

However, the lightweight aerostat can be docked directly in the warehouse area to unload cargo without worrying about serious damage to nearby buildings due to its weight and size.

"The cruising force that needs maintenance...enters from Channel 3, 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 wooden-structured aerostats 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)

He is not unkind. 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 charge them only 40% of the tax, which was 10% less than the governor.

An island he has no ability to develop

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 territorial patrol team is constantly hunting down all kinds of guys who want to secretly exploit the island's resources while they are away.

The suppression effect of the thirty-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 rebels were killed on the spot, and the surviving personnel were put to work in the labor facilities established by the territory 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, but at the request of Jiang Liu, who was in charge of commercial work... some of the aerostats captured by the patrol were put back into the market.

(Jiang Liu, the first person sent by the territory to do business, brought back a lot of seeds from the demihuman city and opened up a route for the territory to connect the two cities.)

These low-priced used ships sold out on the first day.

Even now, there are still many demihuman captains waiting eagerly for their cheap ships at the Commerce Department built in the territory.

As for these ships being unclean, they have soul rings and so on.

They 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 aerospace 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 the palm of his hand.

With a little processing and controlling the flow of resources, you can easily return the resources flowing into the private sector to your own hands.

Moreover, subsequent maintenance and modifications can only be carried out in places approved by the Governor.

Even if people and forces can do it, or want to do it, they will be knocked on the door by the governor's cruiser fleet the next day.

The aerostat business is really profitable.

If possible, he would like some demihuman craftsmen to help make simplified versions of the ships, which would reduce the work pressure in the territory and at the same time... allow the demihumans to share the manufacturing pressure in the territory.

Civilian ships.

Civilian ships can feed back the territory, as long as the parts and semi-finished materials are common, reducing labor hours and production costs for the territory.

"Our personnel...if you mean the efficiency of resource development, it is about 300% higher than what we developed alone. 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 they participate in it... What's more, if other lords were allowed to advance, they might not make as much money as they did when they seized the market.

Once you use the airships they 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 and expandable.

Even maintenance can only be done from me, because only I have sufficiently skilled 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 make money.

You can enjoy the benefits of industrialization from me, 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?
