Chapter 250 (1/2)
Just when Duomei successfully set up a large merchant ship team composed of 18 ships to and from kablaina city and other cities day and night, Soga and others successfully sold the sands. Because they had no capital and did not pay 50% of the goods capital of thunder pirates, Soga earned a lot of money.
100000 barrels of sands were sold by Soga at the price of 4 million gold per barrel. The selling price is exactly the same as that of agate from the origin! It can be seen how much money you make from buying and selling gold.
With 400 billion merchants in mind, Soga kept moving towards the triangle of terror. The reason why he didn't directly go to kablaina city to pull metal was that the metal was too precious, and... If starting from here, there was a triangle between here and the origin of gemstones and kablaina city. Although it was faster to go directly, it was obvious that for a businessman, It's stupid to empty a boat.
As the origin of metal, kabulana does not need any goods. They only produce goods, but do not need goods, daily necessities, and food. Although they do, almost all the fleets that come and go with kabulana will carry these things with the ship, and the profit is pitiful.
All the way into the terror triangle, Soga and others didn't feel the terror of the terror triangle. Originally... According to the information, there were many pirates here. The most exaggerated one was that a caravan was attacked by 18 groups of pirates in a day, and the robbed ones couldn't even protect their underpants, so this is called the terror triangle!
It can be said that compared with the devil's triangle, the terrorist triangle is simply two worlds. If the devil's triangle still belongs to the territory of the original Pirate Group, then the terrorist triangle is the common hunting ground of the original Pirate Group and the foreign thief group. No pirate group can occupy any sea area. There are many pirates. This is not nonsense.
Some people may wonder, since it's so crowded here, why should we squeeze here? In fact, the reason is very simple. Although the devil triangle is a route for transporting agate, it can not be compared with the terror triangle!
The triangle of terror is not only a route of precious stones, but also a route of precious metals. Grabbing a small boat at random is also a sky high wealth. Moreover... It is also the most prosperous commercial area in the third pass.
Among the commodities on the great trade route, the most expensive ones are precious metals, including black steel, diamond, black iron and red copper. They are large in quantity and high in price. All industries need them. Although the risk is high, the price is also higher.
In addition to precious metals, the second precious is precious stones, ruby, sapphire, opal, emerald... The price of a variety of precious stones is incredible. Although the price is not as high as that of super ores such as diamond and black iron, it is much higher than that of ordinary ores.
Therefore, the intersection of gem and precious metal routes is the so-called terrorist triangle. There are so many pirates here that it is unimaginable. Therefore... Only a few caravans dare to rush in. Although it is very dangerous, the profits inside are amazing. If you pull back a ship, it will undoubtedly become rich overnight. Imagine a ship of ruby and sapphire, How much is emerald worth?
This time, Soga didn't drive a big ship. After all... Ruby is different from agate stone. It's impossible to pull 100 ships and 100000 barrels at a time. If there are so many, gemstones are not worth money. In fact, the reason why gemstones are valuable is that they are rare and beautiful.
Because the purpose of this time is to break through the blockade of pirates and transport a batch of gemstones, Soga chose what is said to be the fastest small sailboat on the sea. Although this boat is only small and can hold 10 barrels of goods, it is enough for Soga. Don't forget that gemstones can also be contained in the space ring of Soga and Xiang Yundu, Now there are five members in Soga's team, Xiang Yun, Nicole, Roger, Mia and Soga. Each person can bring ten second-generation air rings, with a total capacity of 500 cubic meters. The third-generation air ring with a capacity of 100 cubic meters in Soga is used to accommodate everyone's food and daily supplies.
It can be said that as long as Soga and others successfully get to the ground and rush out, the deal will be completed. How many gemstones can be accommodated in 500 cubic meters?
But the small sailboat is very small. It belongs to a sloop. There is only one very tough vertical sail on the boat. Only at the stern, there is a small cross sail to assist in turning. The hull is not large, and there is only one cabin that can be small.
The price of the small boat is very low, only 5 million merchants, but... Soga doesn't want to drive the boat to sea like this. In fact, the so-called pull small boat is just a wupeng boat, with a main sail and two auxiliary sails. Although it is fast, it is extremely unsafe. The small boat basically falls apart in a big storm.
Generally speaking, this kind of small sailboat is used for coastal navigation. Once a storm is found in the future, it must pull in immediately and carry the boat to the shore for shelter. The resistance to wind, waves and impact is almost zero. The purpose of Soga's trip is more or less in the depths of the sea, and it is impossible to always pull in.
However, it took Soga a week. Soga used the materials purchased from outside the great trade route in the space ring to copy the small Vela.
The shape is the same, and the size is exactly the same, but... In terms of materials, Soga does not use ordinary wood. In terms of hull, Soga uses precious sea god wood. This wood is not only hard, but also can't sink in any case. Even if it is broken into fragments, it will float on the sea. In fact, sea god wood is harder than steel, Is it so easy to damage?
Moreover, once the sea god tree contacts the sea water, it has life. Like ordinary trees, it can grow. Even if it is attacked and leaves scars, it can repair itself. It can be said that unless it is smashed to pieces, otherwise, the boat will never be destroyed.
In terms of hull, there is no more suitable material than Haishen wood, but... Haishen wood is not only precious, but also extremely rare. It consumes all the materials on Soga, but only makes a hull for pulling a small sailboat.
As for the sail, Soga adopts the wind Dragon Wing leather, which is not only extremely tough, but also has the ability to repair itself. Most importantly, with the help of the wind Dragon Wing leather, the driving force of the small boat will be doubled under the same wind force! The ship's speed will be doubled!
Although the ship was small, the sails were not small. It took ten pairs of wind dragon wing skins. Soga barely completed the three sails on the ship. Finally, it was time to choose the keel.
The choice of keel is very important. It should be not only very hard, but also very flexible. Otherwise, steel is very easy to break, and nothing can be damaged under the power of nature.
For the choice of keel, Soga chose the backbone of water dragon. Water dragon is a kind of marine Warcraft with a pair of small wings and can glide for a short distance. It belongs to the top of the tenth level. It is not big and is famous for water magic.
The skeleton of the water dragon was purchased from the local auction house at a cost of 1 billion yuan by Soga. It is just the right size to be used as the keel of a sailboat. Just inlay the sea god wood on the water keel. The bottom of the ship is the spine of the water dragon, and the belly and both sides are composed of the fishbone like ribs of the water dragon!
As the top Warcraft of the water system, the water keel is not only extremely hard and flexible, but also can repair itself. Moreover, when in the water, it can offset most of the resistance of the water flow and speed up the navigation speed of the ship! Although the speed is not doubled, the increase in speed is also quite amazing.
There's also the choice of mast. There's nothing to say. It's just a word. It should be strong. Soga selects the ribs of the wind dragon. This bone is not only hard, but also, like the wing skin of the wind dragon, can drive the big sail!
Finally, it's the boat canopy. There's nothing to say. With the inverted water keel as the frame and the wind dragon wing skin as the tent, everything is OK. In this way, a priceless single mast micro only pull sailboat was finally born!
