Chapter 179: Liyue Harbor White Ship Incident
"It's almost time. Logically speaking, this point should be approaching."
At the South Pier of Liyue Harbor, Chongzuo looked at the quartz watch on his left hand.
There were only 20 minutes left until the scheduled time, and they still hadn't seen the shadow.
Next to Chongzuo was Beidou, Ningguang, Keqing, and a group of Yuehaiting's secretaries.
The Qianyan Army cordoned off the area around the dock, and around the cordon were the Liyue spectators who were watching the fun.
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Bokuto nudged Shigesa with his elbow.
"There are still twenty minutes left. Just wait and it will be over."
"I'm just curious. There's only so little time left and I can't even see a shadow."
Shigesa scratched his head and argued quietly.
Ningguang and Keqing were still busy talking about work, so they had no time to pay attention to the conversation between Beidou and Shigesa.
"Eh? Look at the sky. Why do you feel like there's a lot of black smoke? It's like there's a fire."
Shigesa noticed something was wrong through the telescope.
"What? A fire?"
Everyone at the scene was shocked, and even Ningguang and Keqing's attention was diverted.
Could it be that the reason they haven’t arrived yet so soon before the scheduled time is because their ship had an accident at sea?
Several people took out telescopes and looked towards the sea.
It was indeed as Shigesa had described, filled with smoke.
"This should be the exhaust gas from burning coal, right? It looks similar to those from power plants."
Keqing expressed her inference with a little uncertainty.
She had seen with her own eyes the scene of the two large chimneys of the power plant emitting black smoke.
No one has come to answer this question.
In their telescopes, a mast gradually came into view.
Next is the superstructure of the entire ship.
It looked like a cargo ship from the outside, but everything except the superstructure was neat and tidy.
As time went by, the appearance of the entire ship gradually came into view.
Before Ningguang and Keqing could react, the Liyue onlookers who were watching not far away were already furious.
They've been working at the Liyue Harbor docks for so many years, what haven't they seen?!
This time I have never seen it before.
It is huge, white all over, clean and tidy. It is obviously just a boat, but it gives people a feeling of elegance and grandeur. It has no sails or oars but moves at high speed. Only a small area is spewing out billowing black smoke, which looks quite indecent.
The ship in front of us is simply a product that does not belong to this era!
Compared to it, the sailboats in Liyue Harbor look like retro toys.
I wonder if the legendary White Fleet of the Fontaine Navy, which has long been destroyed, was also so elegant.
But these spectators have indeed deeply felt the changes of the times.
If the last tram gave them the intuitive feeling of being a new big toy because the trucks were used in the Chasm and there were rich young men racing around Liyue Harbor, then this time the boat was a huge shock to those who made a living by the sea.
This is not a ship like the Fontaine that cannot leave the country. This is a serious ship that is crossing the country.
This one looks much better than the ships in Liyue Harbor, and may replace those old sailing ships in the future.
The white ship from Umijima brought them a little technological shock.
Ningguang listened to the exclamations and discussions of the people around her. Her expression remained unchanged, but in fact she had calmed down and even secretly laughed.
This is exactly the effect she wants.
How can it be possible that the speed at which they accept new things is not as fast as the speed at which others produce new things?
We have to think of a way to force it.
If that were not the case, she would not have allowed people to gather around her.
Beidou had already told her about the news that the ship would use a new power source, so she was mentally prepared for the fact that it would have no sails or oars.
But Beidou only had a vague idea about the situation and didn't explain it in detail. Zhongzuo was also very noisy. She was shocked when she heard about the fire and almost didn't ask the dock to prepare for rescue.
Judging from the current bustling situation at the dock, I think that soon, news about this ship will spread throughout Liyue Harbor.
Soon, the big ship gradually approached the port.
Jiang Ming, his face still a little pale, walked down the gangway.
"How's it going, buddy? Is it uncomfortable in the thunderstorm area?"
Beidou came up with a smile and started teasing.
"It's a bit too exciting for a landlubber like me."
When passing through the thunderstorm area, he felt like he was about to fly while sitting in the boat.
He had taken several flights, but none of them was so exciting.
What is level 10 sea condition?
"You'll get used to it. In the past, you always came to greet me at your dock. Now that you're coming to Liyue, it's our turn to greet you. We have to do our best to be good hosts."
"We have already booked a private room at Xinyuexuan. Mr. Jiang can go there anytime if he needs it during his stay in Liyue."
Beidou stepped back slightly, and it was Ningguang who came forward.
"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 be familiar with me, right?"
There was a hint of temptation in Ningguang's words.
After all, Ye Lan has been investigating for such a long time and has mobilized a lot of resources, but there has been no progress until now, which is really suspicious.
"Of course, but this is the first time we've met at such close range."
Jiang Ming gave a vague response to this.
He was indeed very familiar with it.
But not in Liyue.
He drew Ningguang during his novice period, and she was a very powerful character in the early stages.
Unfortunately, neither Ningguang nor Keqing in front of him are wearing the clothes in the game.
Of course, Ningguang still has a tuft of red white hair, and Keqing still has two purple cat ears, which makes them quite easy to recognize.
"Hello, I'm Yuheng, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. You can just call me Keqing. I've heard a lot about you."
"Hello."
The two sides briefly introduced themselves to each other at the dock, and then were guided to the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Jiang Ming came this time as the representative of the major shareholder of Lihai Electric Power and Liyue Bank.
Although Liyue's reception standards far exceed those of ordinary businessmen, it is second only to the level of heads of state of other countries.
Anyway, it's such a twisted scene.
After obtaining the passage permit from the Fatui, Jiang Ming and his team immediately set about perfecting the Thunderstorm transport ship which was about to be completed.
Soon, the Thunderstorm was successfully launched.
There were no problems in the first sea trial, and the second sea trial went directly into the thunderstorm area.
It turns out that the token given by the Doctor is the real thing.
They only have to deal with bad sea conditions in thunderstorm areas.
Under such circumstances, after temporarily adding some defensive weapons and facilities to the Thunderstorm, they set out to sea.
After saying hello to Liyue, Jiang Ming himself came over by boat.
For him, the speed of development of Haigi Island far exceeded his expectations. In just a short period of time, it has developed weapons that can pose a threat to the Fatui executives.
The Doctor's strength is top-notch among the executives. Even if it is a sneak attack, it is not easy to make the Doctor a little embarrassed. With such power, it is hard to say whether it can be used against an executive as low-ranking as Young Master.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary for him to advance some long-term plans to adapt to the continued rapid development.
In name, he came to Liyue to discuss matters related to expanding cooperation and to inspect bilateral projects on site, but in fact, only he himself knew the real purpose of his visit to Liyue.
Anyway, this is just a try, and there is no cost if we fail.
Chapter 180 Increase Production
On a high place not far from the pier, Zhongli was holding a bird cage and quietly looking at the huge white ship that was docked.
Then, he turned his attention to Jiang Ming, who was preparing to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion with Ningguang and Keqing.
If you look closely, you will find that the ends of his hair and the pair of golden eyes beneath the sunglasses are glowing slightly.
"I see……"
Zhongli whispered these words to himself.
He was not very good at being crowded there with people. With his perception ability, it would be more convenient for him to find a higher place.
Whether it is the structure of this giant ship or Jiang Ming, the person who brought about all the changes, he now knows what is going on.
Zhongli didn't look away until Jiang Ming followed Ningguang and the others and disappeared around the corner.
He took another look at the huge white ship, then turned and left from the path.
Next to him is a sign that says "Road construction, please take a detour."
I have nothing to do today, so I continue to listen to music in the brothel.
On the other side, Jiang Ming and his companions officially arrived at the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Beidou found an excuse to leave halfway and returned to the Death Star.
The conversations with Ningguang and Keqing on the first day were just looking back at the past, looking forward to the future, describing the current friendly relationship between the two sides, and then painting some rosy rosy pictures for the reporters. Such useless nonsense.
The next few days are the real business.
Jiang Ming brought out their expectations for the growth of industrial and transportation demand, and discussed the issue of increasing production in the Chasm with Ningguang and Keqing.
"A change in the output of the Layered Abyss will have a ripple effect on the entire system. Do you really need so many minerals?"
Keqing frowned as she looked at the chart provided by Jiang Ming.
It is a very novel file format, the language is concise and clear, and there are statistical charts and other things that allow people to intuitively feel the changes.
Such documents are very efficient to read. She plans to learn it and promote it in Liyue in the future. It will definitely greatly increase work efficiency.
However, according to this forecast, she did a simple calculation and found that in the next year, they would have to increase the production of the Layered Abyss by nearly 50%.
This is a giant mine that supplies the entire Teyvat!
Although this is not a difficult task with the help of a series of new tools, it would be a problem if no one wants the minerals after they are mined.
"I think you may have some misunderstanding, Ms. Keqing."
Jiang Ming slowly put the chart down.
"The above demand is predicted based on our current level. If we have any new progress in the coming year, the demand will only increase, not decrease. This 50% is our conservative estimate, and this is only the demand in the first year."
