"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"The scholar from the Order of the Lords I was chasing had a strange feeling when he passed by here. But there was yellow sand all around, so I didn't notice anything unusual."
"Why don't we go check this place out first?"
Chapter 394 Fontaine Product Launch
Fontaine.
Lin Zixuan is attending Fontaine's new product launch conference accompanied by Navia.
The New Fontaine Science Academy also set up a bunch of temporary shops, just like the previous Liyue trade fair.
Various clockwork mechanisms were placed at the entrance of these temporary shops, and many activities and small games were organized to stir up the atmosphere. Lin Zixuan had a lot of fun.
I came to this Manghuang jeep and walked around it. All the designs are very consistent with the style of Fontaine. There are two "gas tanks" on the back of the car, which are filled with the energy of the wild and the mang. It can be driven by absorbing energy with the Manghuang repeater or with the Manghuang energy pack.
The other is a Manghuang crystal stone hybrid jeep. The hood is also open for people to see. On the left is a 50-horsepower crystal stone engine, and on the right is the Manghuang annihilation reaction device. There is also a handle inside the car to switch the driving mode.
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but sigh that Fontaine's technical background was still very solid. The switching drive device was very cleverly designed, perhaps it was the work of some senior researchers.
"Master Xuan, the car of this academy should not be as good as the one in Liyue, right?" Navia asked.
"Many designs on this car are worth learning. Fontaine has many talented researchers, so don't underestimate their innovative ability. I will buy one of both cars to collect." Lin Zixuan said.
I saw a few researchers eavesdropping on me. After hearing what I said, they gathered together and chatted excitedly. They must be the ones who made this wild jeep, right? Unfortunately... they will be sent to the opera house for trial soon.
There are more than a dozen large Manghuang relay stations near Fontaine, most of which provide energy to large facilities such as security agencies and patrol ships. Once the number of Manghuang jeeps exceeds 2, many facilities in Fontaine will probably be shut down.
If you pour cold water on others in public, some reporters will interpret it as jealousy, and you may even be resented by these researchers.
After all, as soon as I asked for it, the little money they had just flown away. It's hard not to feel resentful. Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate. When something goes wrong, they will look for the reasons in themselves instead of blaming me.
The more sales, the faster they die. Then we can let the secret agents do the good and make some money out of them.
Next to the crystal car booth is the aircraft booth. The whale-shaped aircraft looks almost exactly the same as in the game.
Anton Roger is greeting the guests who come to visit and asking them to get on the aircraft to experience flying.
Ever since Liyue manufactured and started operating aircraft, countless businesses have been drooling at the huge profits.
This meant that Anton Roger's flight plan also received strong support from the Fontaine Company, and the completion of the aircraft was much higher than in the game.
After sensing it, I found that there were two large Manghuang savings tanks at the bottom of the aircraft, the middle layer could be used to store cargo, and there were more than a dozen seats on the top. There were more than a dozen wind wings hanging on the guardrails as escape devices.
Behind the aircraft is the Manghuang annihilation device, which can provide a lot of thrust. Two staff members stand in front of the device and operate it.
The whale-shaped airbag at the top is filled with wind elements, and the rise and fall can be controlled by the filled wind elements.
Watching the aircraft slowly take off, the passengers on board screamed in surprise.
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but sigh again. Although this aircraft is a bit slow, it is only the first generation version. Once the supply problem is solved, we can start plundering wealth everywhere.
If Liyue lags behind like in the game and doesn't strive to move forward, when the Fontaine people drive thousands of aircraft to Liyue to do business, Liyue will inevitably become a dumping ground for Fontaine products.
In less than 20 years, the center of the world will become Fengdan. The Rock King Emperor has "died", and the immortals are practicing in Jueyunjian and don't bother to care about Liyue. The coinage right has been lost, and the Northland Bank has become the largest bank in Liyue. Several people in the Seven Stars have started to fight for power and profit.
When that time comes, if anyone says "Liyue is the place where all wealth is deposited", they will probably be laughed to death.
Even if some people with lofty ideals come to revive Liyue, it will be too late. Fontaine blocks technology, Xumi blocks knowledge, how many unimaginable obstacles will Liyue encounter if it wants to climb back to its previous status?
I shook my head gently and threw these thoughts out of my mind. My Liyue will never fall into that situation!
"Master Xuan, isn't this aircraft good?" Navia asked curiously when she saw Lin Zixuan shaking his head.
"Ah? I personally approve of this invention. But I think there are still many areas for improvement.
This aircraft needs a cover. If people sit outside and it rains or flies against the wind, the experience will be very bad. If you have a telescope, you can see that the mouths of the people on the aircraft seem to be blown crooked by the wind. "
"That's right! People sitting on the deck and blowing in the wind will easily get dizzy, right?" Navia saw that the flying speed of the high-altitude aircraft was not slow.
"However, the current level of completion is also worthy of praise. I am still very optimistic about this invention. Make the whale above a little bigger, put two huge screens on its sides, place it at a suitable height and sail regularly, and I estimate that the advertising fees can make a lot of money." Lin Zixuan said.
"Advertising fees? Well...if you look up, you can see a flying vehicle in the sky. People will subconsciously look at it, and it just happens to be playing advertisements. Oh! I see, this is indeed a good way to promote." Navia understood it all at once.
"Mr. Xuan is right. I will modify it later." Anton Roger also heard Lin Zixuan's comments and took the opportunity to come over and speak.
"Just make the changes according to your own ideas. Inspiration is the source of creation. Don't be led astray by my words. What I said is just a reference. After all, once it is used for commercial purposes, you will encounter many problems that need to be solved." Lin Zixuan said.
"Thank you, Master Xuan. I will work hard to make the 'Anton Roger Aircraft' perfect!" Anton showed an excited look.
Seeing that the aircraft was slowly descending, Anton quickly ran over to comfort the guests who had had a bad experience.
"I always feel that Master Xuan is doing something bad." Navia said.
"Have it?"
Lin Zixuan was shocked. Why were all the women in Teyvat so hard to fool? Or was it that women's sixth sense was very sharp?
Science has no borders, but scientists do. Recognition and encouragement are actually poison at certain times. The words just said to Anton will make Anton Roger fight to the end on this kind of aircraft.
Liyue has built airships powered by wind elements before, but they have too many shortcomings. Once the weight exceeds 3 tons, the airbags filled with wind elements will need to be multiplied in size.
Before major breakthroughs in materials and technology are achieved, continuing research is a dead end. The speed is not as fast as an airplane, the cargo capacity is not as good as an airplane, and the safety is not as good as an airplane with floating stones.
In the foreseeable future, once this aircraft is put into commercial use, it will definitely cause loss of life. This will most likely cause this genius to be silent for at least ten years. However, in ten years, Liyue will be able to upgrade the aircraft by at least two or three generations, and may even be able to complete a part of the "Nantianmen Project".
The only flaw is: Fontaine's use of the Origin Ore. Then we can arrange a hidden line to hold them back.
Leaving the aircraft stall, Lin Zixuan came to another temporary street. The things on these stalls were all kinds of strange and varied, which really tested his eyesight.
I saw Xingqiu resting his chin on his hand, contemplating a beautiful stone, as if he was considering whether to buy it.
"Hey! Xingqiu, what good stuff have you taken a fancy to?" Lin Zixuan walked up to say hello.
"Ah! Master Xuan. I just think this stone is very interesting. Touching it will bring back happy memories. But the price is too high."
"Oh? There is such a magical stone?" Lin Zixuan sensed the stone. "Tsk, it turns out to be this."
I looked at the other stones on the table, the Dream Stone, the Joy Stone, the Excitement Stone...
The stone is filled with specially refined 'Les', which is definitely a banned substance.
"Mr. Xuan, what do you like? I'll give you some for free." The owner said, rubbing his hands.
"you are?"
"My name is Dujiye, and my shop has just been established. Master Xuan has definitely never heard of it. But the things I sell here are all first-class quality goods."
"These are indeed good stuff. Zhuyingting and Meilushin should be more interested in these goods, right?" Lin Zixuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, five guards ran out from the crowd behind Lin Zixuan and immediately controlled Du Jiye. People were talking about it. Master Xuan would not attack without reason. There must be something wrong with these goods.
Duguier was restrained, his eyes widened, the anger in his mind was like a beast, tearing his rationality apart. Just one sentence... one sentence can decide the life and death of others. If I also have this power, can control the life and death of others, how great it would be!
A small episode did not hinder the launch of the Fontaine product launch. Lin Zixuan also took a fancy to many interesting products and signed many large orders, such as the Sea Dew Flower Diapers, the Soft Light Bell Perfume, etc.
The companies that had been awarded the big orders began to recruit workers frantically at night. Because the orders were so large, they had to work overtime to avoid breach of contract. The prices of raw materials such as sea dew flowers, soft lantern bells, and rainbow roses also soared by nearly half.
The eyes of other businesses instantly turned into lemon shapes. They could not help but sigh that Master Xuan of Liyue was a veritable God of Wealth, as a single private visit brought in transactions worth over 100 million Liyue Yuan.
Just when Lin Zixuan was about to end his trip to Fontainebleau, a phone call from Ningguang disrupted his subsequent arrangements.
"Xuan! Something happened to our ancestral land blessed by the immortals!"
Chapter 395 Unexpected Major Event
Liyue Konoha Village.
A large number of Qianyan troops were evacuating the residents of the village. Sealing devices that looked very similar to rock ridges formed a huge circle around the 2000 acres of land in front of them.
Lin Zixuan descended from the sky, came to Ningguang's side, and then looked at the ancestral land in front of him.
"This is... the dead zone?" Lin Zixuan was a little surprised, and then asked: "How is the evacuation going? What exactly happened?"
"The farmers in the village have basically been resettled, and supplies have arrived. The few people who were overly exposed to the dead zone are no longer in danger.
Three days ago, a farmer found that two rice plants in his contracted land had died. He pulled them out and ignored them.
Two days ago, the vegetation on one acre of land turned yellow and withered. The farmer thought there was an insect infestation and hurried to find the cause. As a result, he found that even the insects were dead. He took out ropes and fenced off the acre of land, prohibiting others from entering.
Then he called the Qianyan Army, and the Qianyan Army also sent two people to check, but found no clues. At the same time, they also ruled out the possibility of poisoning, so they left one person to watch the situation with the farmers.
When the farmer woke up the next day, he found that thirty acres of land had turned withered and yellow. He was furious and prepared to look for the murderer, but he ended up falling to the ground and couldn't get up.
Fortunately, there was a Qianyan soldier on guard yesterday. He didn't expect that he would faint. Even his physical condition became extremely bad. He hurriedly called the Qianyan soldier and the military doctor.
Then the matter was finally reported to me. I thought I could just seal off the problem areas, but the dead zone expanded too fast.
As of today, as you can see, the 2000 acres of land have almost all been destroyed. We can only urgently ask the Qianyan Army to move the seal array out to the periphery to prevent the dead zone from expanding further."
"It's strange, this is Liyue. Normally, there shouldn't be any dead zones. By the way, have you ever seen a red flower?" Lin Zixuan asked.
“Red flowers? I’ve never seen them.” Ningguang shook her head. “We handled it in a timely manner, and the inside is still in its original state.”
"Then I'll look for it first." Lin Zixuan clasped his hands together, and two huge vines grew out. They began to turn over the withered rice fields in search of red flowers, and the search was completed in a short while.
"What's going on? Is that red flower very important?"
"If there are red flowers, then it should be the effect caused by the death of the elemental life born in the body of the Grass Dragon King Apep. If not, then it may be caused by other reasons."
"Report!!!" A Qianyan soldier ran over in a hurry.
"Tell me! Scales appeared on the bodies of the farmer and the Qianyan Army! The doctor took samples with a scalpel and found that it was Demonic Scale Disease!"
"!!!!!! Devil scale disease?"
Lin Zixuan and Ningguang hurried to the nearby Qianyan Army base to check on the patient.
Three hours later, the two returned to the disaster-stricken land.
"I have a guess." Lin Zixuan said.
"I have a guess, too." Ningguang was not to be outdone. "You go first."
"I guess something happened to the Great Compassion Tree King. She couldn't control the power in her body, and it was revealed through the earth veins. This should be a reminder." Lin Zixuan expressed his opinion.
"No, I think differently from you, or to be more direct. This fairyland was blessed by your 'ancestors', so the earth veins should not have much influence on it.
The family genealogy did not record the ancestor's death, but rather that he went to find a way to solve the problem of single-line inheritance for hundreds of generations. In other words... as an immortal, he was most likely still alive.
If he is affected by the forbidden knowledge, will this fairyland also be affected?" Ningguang said as she looked at the fairyland.
"'Ancestor'? That shouldn't be the case! Since they know the seriousness of forbidden knowledge, they will naturally retreat away. Could it be... related to the previous attack on the Grass Dragon King?" Lin Zixuan lifted his chin.
"The timing is right! The day after the Grass Dragon King was attacked, the fairyland began to show signs of being eroded."
"No, I have to ask the Emperor."
Lin Zixuan flew directly to Liyue Harbor, and Ningguang began to arrange the follow-up work.
Liyue Harbor.
Lin Zixuan came to Heyu Teahouse and saw an uninvited guest sitting next to Zhongli.
"Lord Barbatos, long time no see."
"Liyue Feng, long time no see! When will you hold another big event? My income from singing in Mondstadt is decreasing every day, and I can hardly make ends meet."
"Well, I don't have any plans for this recently. How about just registering a name under Xuanyuan Trading Company's studio? How about being a music and poetry producer?"
"Music poetry producer?" Wendy suddenly became interested.
"That's right! Whether it's a TV series, a game, or a fairy movie, they all need interludes and theme songs, or even exclusive impression songs.
I also plan to launch a music platform to collect all the songs and poems on Teyvat so that everyone can listen to these heavenly sounds.
To put it bluntly, it will be simpler and more convenient than Fontaine's phonograph record player.
You've also noticed that these phonograph record players in Fontaine are beginning to erode Mondstadt, right? It's going to be harder and harder to make money singing in bars.
Compared to singing in bars every day, this music platform will allow many talented singers and composers to earn previously unimaginable remuneration. It is not uncommon for a song to make a living for 20 years. Of course, there are negative effects as well, money will corrupt the lives of these singers.
Why not take this opportunity to transform yourself earlier? It would be a good thing for everyone to listen to your song of the god of wind, right? "
“But it seems like there is no soul in music.”
"The money you get can allow you to drink from a wine barrel every day, and you can even choose from a variety of rare and precious wines from the Seven Kingdoms."
"Let's do it!" Wendy clenched her fist and said firmly.
"Okay, you came here in such a hurry this time, is there something important?" Zhongli took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"The immortal field blessed by our ancestors has shown abnormal phenomena. It is the death zone of Xumi. Two people who have been exposed to it excessively have developed symptoms of demonic scale disease. Something that should not happen in Liyue has happened!"
