Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 170 The Lann Family
What happens next is very simple.

Huangjiang signed an aluminum ore supply contract with Stowe.As a "precious metal", aluminum ore in this world is naturally not cheap, but compared to the high price of finished aluminum materials, Huang Jiang is more willing to buy aluminum ore.After all, current aluminum has not found a suitable use method for its positioning. Whether it is tableware or jewelry, it is almost all artificially hyped. Although there are also reasons why it is inherently precious, the premium is still very obvious.

Naturally, Huang Jiang would not pay for the prices hyped up by luxury consumption in this world. As early as a few months ago, Jiagang's materials team had begun to develop pure aluminum process technology to prepare for the tea island that might be found in the future.This technology had a breakthrough last month. They successfully used cryolite to catalyze the electrolysis of pure aluminum.Compared with another method of catalytic refining of unknown ores used by the Federation, the technology of electrolytic aluminum is faster and consumes less.

Speaking of this, Huang Jiang is also very lucky that this world still has some minerals that are familiar to the earth, and some of the reserves are very huge, such as cryolite.Contrary to the Earth, there are not so many aluminum ores in the Azure World, but there are a large number of cryolite veins. Cryolite is also one of the cheapest gems in the Federation, almost the same price as low-quality crystal.

However, Huang Jiang did not expect that Stowe would come to the door on his own. This was really beyond his expectation.It just so happens that Huang Jiang is worried that he has no opportunity to accumulate objective conditions for the aluminum metal industry technology.

After signing the contract, Stowe felt relieved. Having found such a big customer, at least Rose Island wouldn't have to worry about it in the next few years.After settling his worries, Stowe relaxed and talked with Huang Jiang about some interesting things in the deacon circle.

After coming to Gloria Island, Huang Jiang cut off contact with almost all his classmates. Except for Andersen and Puxi, only Sartre occasionally contacted him.

"Hesse knows, right?" Stowe said, drinking coffee, "He is the chief of your generation. He is the son of a big noble family on Blue Flower Dan Island."

"What's wrong with him?" Huang Jiang was not familiar with Hesse, but in his impression, Hesse was a friendly person, without the pride of ordinary nobles at all. If there are any ideological changes in the future, he should be the so-called conscientious capitalist.

Of course, Huang Jiang couldn't remember Hesse for no reason. After all, Mark Erma had a natural dislike for nobles.The main reason is that Hesse has a very interesting nickname among his classmates, called "Brother-in-law", because he has a very lovely sister who is a goddess admired by many people.

If I remember correctly, Hesse seemed to have chosen an island in Sun Shadow Orchid after graduation.

"He has been very close to the Lann family recently." Stowe said with a smile.

"The Lann family." Huang Jiang has heard about it for a long time. They are one of the survivors of the Lann storm. They took advantage of the mirage invasion to make a fortune, but compared to the nine famous governors The Lann family has never produced any outstanding deacons in the past generations, and almost all the deacon members appear to be very mediocre.Of course, this phenomenon has greatly changed in recent years, mainly because the Lane family finally has a talented deacon member-Chaucer Lane, who is the one Pushy took refuge in.

Huang Jiang recalled it for a moment, and then recalled the incident of Gong Huo, the deacon recruited by the Lann family. His impression was not very good, and he said casually: "They seem to be very active recently."

"It's very active." Stowe nodded and said, "They are now seeking a border island for Chaucer Lane."

"Border Island." Huang Jiang raised his head, "Isn't he doing well in Sunflower Ling?"

"Maybe it's because you two made too much noise, covering up the glory of their genius." Stowe said.

"Not everyone can mess around at the border." Huang Jiang stirred the coffee in the cup, "Otherwise the Federation wouldn't have such a headache." "But the big nobles are a different matter, aren't they?" Stowe said, "Now the top level has been completely controlled by the nine governor families. If the Lann family wants to climb up, they must obtain meritorious service recognized by the world. This is not something that can be obtained through political means. In fact, when Chaucer just graduated You should choose the border.”

Huang Jiang agreed: "This is indeed the case, but it is also easy to attract the attention of outsiders..."

"Come on, everyone knows the ambitions of the Lann family." Stowe rolled his eyes, "And there is obviously more movement in changing the island now, okay?"

"Let's not talk about Lann." Huang Jiang changed the subject. He didn't want to comment too much on Puxi's employer. "Let's talk about Hesse, what happened to him? I didn't expect that he would seek refuge with Lann. So, His achievements at that time should have attracted the recruitment of governors, right? That guy is the best strategic genius of our generation."

"In fact, he is also the most talented strategist among all the graduates of Deacon Academy, at least on paper." Stowe teased, "But it is possible that he can only write and draw on paper."

Huang Jiang gently waved his hand and defended Hesse: "It's similar in actual combat. At least in actual combat exercises, none of us could beat him. It seems that Sartre was the only one who had a stalemate with him for a while."

As for Mark Irma, Hesse had brought him to the command center from the very beginning. It was like a Sea Soul lady rushing in single-handedly. This was also the reason why Mark was laughed at by the Sea Soul teacher in the academy.But he was not the most embarrassing one. At least he died after fighting hard. There was another person who was frightened by Hesse, an ordinary person. He believed that he had been surrounded and then surrendered. But this A classmate who did not come online in the end should have become a sea soul master.

"I heard that it's because there is no room for this strategist in Sun Shadow Orchid." Stowe said, "You also know that Governor Sun Shadow Orchid's combat style is very calm."

The word "very calm" is very euphemistic, but it actually means cowardly.Sun Shadow Orchid, White Rose, and Carnation are one of the few governor-general states in the Federation that only face one mirage front. However, even so, every time Cape Horn attacks Sun Shadow Orchid, O'Neill always retreats. Not even a chance to escape was left to his men.

Stowe continued: "Moreover, Sartre and Your Excellency in the same class have already emerged, and they have opened up the situation in their respective territories. If I were Hesse, I wouldn't be able to sit still, so Hesse's behavior is also understandable."

"Doesn't Governor O'Neill have any objections?" Huang Jiang wondered, "After all, he is also a general under him."

"Hmph." Stowe smiled disdainfully, "Governor Sun Shadow Lan and the Lann family wear the same pair of pants. He even endorsed the Sea Soul Treaty a few days ago for Sun Shadow Lan."

Huang Jiang nodded as if suddenly enlightened, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

The Lann family wants to find a place on the border to accumulate merit, so where will they look...

It seems that at present, the weakest performance on paper is the West Wind Drift...
