If the last tram was just a novel toy for them because the trucks were used in the Laminar Stream, and the area around Liyue Harbor was full of rich young men racing around, then this ship was a huge shock for those of them who make their living by the sea.
This isn't one of those ships from Fontainebleau that can't leave the country; this is a legitimate ship that has crossed the border.
This is much better than the ships in Liyue Harbor; it might replace those old sailing ships in the future.
The white ship from Haigi Island brought them a little technological shock.
Ningguang listened to the exclamations and discussions of the onlookers around her, her expression unchanged, but in reality, she had calmed down and even secretly rejoiced.
This is exactly the effect she wanted.
How can this be acceptable that they can't even accept new things as quickly as the other side can produce them?
We need to think of a way to force them to change their minds.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed people to gather around her.
Beidou had already told her about the new power system used on the ship, so she was mentally prepared for the possibility of it having no sails or oars.
However, Beidou only had a vague understanding and didn't explain the details clearly. Chongzuo was also very loud and boisterous. When she heard the news of the fire, she was so startled that she almost didn't order the dock to prepare for rescue.
Judging from the bustling scene at the docks, news about this ship will soon spread throughout Liyue Harbor.
Soon, the large ship gradually docked.
Jiang Ming, whose face was still a little pale, walked down the gangway.
"How's it going, bro? Not a good time in the thunderstorm area, huh?"
Beidou came up with a smile and made a few jokes first.
"It's a bit too much for someone like me who can't swim."
While crossing the thunderstorm zone, he felt like he was about to fly while sitting in the boat.
He had flown several times but had never experienced such excitement.
What do you mean by sea state 10?
“You’ll get used to it. Speaking of which, I’ve always been greeted at your docks before. This time you’re coming to Liyue, so it’s our turn to greet you. We’d better do our best to be good hosts.”
“We have already booked a private room at New Moon Pavilion. Mr. Jiang can come there anytime he needs during his stay in Liyue.”
Beidou took a small step back, and Ningguang stepped forward to meet him.
"Hello, I am Tianquan, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. You can call me Ningguang. However, Mr. Jiang is from Liyue, so you should already know me well, right?"
Ningguang's words carried a hint of probing.
After all, Ye Lan has been investigating for so long and has used a lot of resources, but so far there has been no progress, which is really suspicious.
"Of course, but this is the first time we've met so closely."
Jiang Ming gave a vague response to this.
He is indeed very familiar with it.
However, it's not in Liyue.
He pulled Ningguang during his early game, and she was a pretty strong character in the early stages.
Unfortunately, neither Ningguang nor Keqing in front of me are wearing the outfits from the game.
Of course, Ningguang still has a tuft of red hair, and Keqing still has two purple cat ears, making them quite recognizable.
"Hello, I am Yuheng from the Liyue Seven Stars. You can just call me Keqing. I've heard so much about you."
"Hello."
The two sides exchanged brief introductions at the dock, and then, guided by the staff, proceeded to Qunyu Pavilion.
Jiang Ming came this time as a representative of the major shareholders of Lihai Power and Liyue Bank.
Although Liyue's reception standards far exceed those of ordinary businessmen, reaching a level second only to heads of state from other countries.
In short, it was such a complicated situation.
After obtaining the permit from the Fools, Jiang Ming and his team immediately began to complete the Thunderstorm transport ship, which was nearing completion.
Shortly after, the Leiyu was successfully launched.
The first sea trial went without any problems, but the second sea trial went directly into a thunderstorm area.
It turned out that the token the doctor gave him was genuine.
In thunderstorm areas, they only need to deal with severe sea conditions.
Under these circumstances, after temporarily adding some self-defense weapons to the Thunderstorm, they set sail.
After informing Liyue, Jiang Ming himself came by boat.
For him, the speed of development on Haiji Island far exceeded expectations. In such a short time, it had already developed weapons that could pose a threat to the Executors of the Fools.
The Doctor's strength is top-notch among the Executives. Even a sneak attack would be difficult to make the Doctor look slightly disheveled. If such power were used against a low-ranking Executive like the Young Master, it would be hard to say.
Under these circumstances, it is necessary for him to bring forward some long-term plans in order to adapt to the continued rapid development.
Ostensibly, he came to Liyue to discuss matters related to expanding cooperation and to conduct on-site inspections of bilateral projects, but in reality, only he himself knew his true purpose in coming to Liyue.
Anyway, this is just a trial, and there's no consequence for failure.
Chapter 180 Increase Production
Not far from the dock, Zhongli held a birdcage and quietly watched the moored white giant ship.
Then, he turned his attention to Jiang Ming, who was heading to Qunyu Pavilion with Ningguang and Keqing.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the tips of her hair and the pair of golden eyes behind her sunglasses are gleaming slightly.
"I see……"
Zhongli murmured these words to himself.
He wasn't very good at squeezing in with people; given his perception, it would be more convenient to find a higher place.
He now understands everything, whether it's the structure of the giant ship or Jiang Ming, the person who brought about all these changes.
Zhong Li only looked away after Jiang Ming and Ning Guang disappeared around the corner.
He glanced at the giant white ship one last time, then turned and left through the side path.
Beside him was a sign that read, "Road construction, please detour."
Nothing much to do today, so I'll continue listening to music in the brothel.
On the other side, Jiang Ming and his group officially arrived at Qunyu Pavilion.
Beidou had already made an excuse to leave midway and returned to the Death Star.
The conversation between Ningguang and Keqing on the first day consisted of nothing more than looking back on the past, looking forward to the future, describing the current friendly relationship between the two sides, and making some useless promises to the reporters.
The next few days are the real business.
Jiang Ming presented their projections for industrial and transportation capacity growth, and discussed the issue of increasing production in the Stratiform Abyss with Ningguang and Keqing.
"Changes in the production of the Strati-rock Abyss are extremely important. Does your company... really need so many minerals?"
Ke Qing frowned as she looked at the charts provided by Jiang Ming.
It's a very novel file format, with concise and clear language, and includes things like statistical charts, which allow people to intuitively feel the changes.
She found these documents very efficient to read and planned to learn how to use them in Liyue, which would greatly increase work efficiency.
However, based on this prediction, she did a simple calculation and found that they would need to increase the production of the Stratorock Abyss by nearly 50% in the next year.
This is a massive mine that supplies the entire Teyvat region!
With the help of a series of new tools, it's not too difficult, but if no one wants the mined material, that would be a problem.
“I think you may have some misunderstanding, Ms. Keqing.”
Jiang Ming slowly put the chart down.
"The demand forecast above is based on our current level. If we make any new progress in the coming year, the demand will only increase, not decrease. This 50% is our conservative estimate, and it is only the demand for the first year."
The more advanced the technology, the more advanced the productivity, and the richer the material living standards, the higher people's demand for natural resources will be.
The amount of metal resources a modern person uses to buy a car is more than an ancient person could use in eight lifetimes, not to mention fuel, rubber, electricity, and so on.
Apart from Fontaine and Winterfell, which have some industrial base, most other countries in Teyvat are not much different from ancient times. The amount of metal resources a person comes into contact with in a lifetime is limited, such as farm tools or weapons.
They are now leading at least three nations—Inazuma, Liyue, and Mondstadt—into the industrial age, and this demand is not an exaggeration at all.
"Another point is that we plan to open a new factory in Liyue, mainly to produce various vehicles and ships, primarily supplying Liyue and Mondstadt."
Well, how should I put it, Mondstadt isn't really a suitable place to set up a large factory like this.
According to the report sent by Hokkaido Kawakami, there is very little industrial manpower available there.
However, the Mondstadt region, with its snow-capped mountains, is currently the only place where superconducting materials are produced.
According to the survey, there are not many formed star silver mines in the snow mountain, but more or less star silver mineral components have been detected in the soil of the entire snow mountain.
The closer you are to the Nail of Cold Heaven, the higher its content in the soil.
Although the exact relationship between the two is currently unknown, any shovelful of snow from the mountains contains important raw materials for superconducting materials.
It's like gold is everywhere.
In his eyes, the Mondstadt people were now comparable to the princes sitting on oil drums.
Jiang Ming thought that if the people of Mondstadt really couldn't adapt to facilities like factories, they could just be content to be a resource exporting country.
Before Keqing could even process what she was thinking about in the Abyss of Laminaria, Ningguang immediately picked up on Jiang Ming's suggestion to open a new factory.
“We welcome this. As for funding, Liyue Bank can provide loans. Raw materials can be supplied by the Lava Pit. And coincidentally, Keqing is right here. We can discuss the location issue now.”
Ningguang looked at the chart and was able to roughly estimate the production cost of things like off-road vehicles and motorcycles.
Mondstadt is unsure, but given the recent spending power of the Liyue people, it's sure to sell very well.
With increased production from the strata abyss, wouldn't that provide a place for it to go?
Moreover, steel bars and cement seem to have considerable advantages in the construction field, and it seems that Liyue's construction technology can also be revolutionized.
