Chapter 77: The Beginning of the Great Voyage

After the initial strain, the players began to have spare money. Modern people's keen sense of the economy makes those players in seaside cities immediately reach out to the ocean.

It's just that players who are new to the ocean trade have neither enough gold or enough credibility in the maritime association to increase the commodity quota, and the boat and sea merchant are the main trade mode for players to get involved in the ocean trade.

Players who have enough gold can hire all kinds of merchant ships in the Maritime Association, and then a large number of players will fill the ship with their own commodity quotas, and entrust trusted players to follow the ship to the destination and sell the goods. After getting the money, the player who follows the ship can buy some goods from the player in the local area and ship them back, and each player who participates in the trade can receive a good income, and the player who follows the boat can also get a generous commission.

The boat-following players with good credit are jokingly called the old drivers of the running business, and those boat-following players who have disappeared are shouted and beaten by everyone.

The tension between Chongming City and Shangjiang City has greatly reduced the NPC ships in the commercial port, but the brave players are still keen on this dangerous maritime activity.

Compared with those private runners, the credibility of guild professional runners will be much better. As the helmsman of the University Alliance, Xu Man has been committed to the development of marine resources, using the rich marine trade to accumulate funds for the Alliance, and the University Alliance has reached 500 merchant ships sailing on the sea at its peak.

See so many players in the merchant harbor hire merchant ships to go in and out of the docks, transporting shiploads of goods to distant places. Da Liang suddenly had a glimmer of realization in his heart: right...... This sea is vast, and it's not easy for my brother to find a troop carrier alone, but there are many players on the sea, and with so many eyes, maybe whoever will see that troop transport fleet.

Da Liang, who thought of a way, didn't care about what equipment to buy, and directly chatted with Xu Man privately: "Chairman Xu, please help me do something." ”

"I heard you moved out."

Da Liang said strangely: "I think I have walked hidden enough, how come you all know that I moved out." ”

"Hehe......" Xu Man didn't say where he got the news, but asked: "You have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let's talk about it, what's the matter with me?" ”

Da Liang remembered his purpose and said: "I have one thing like entrusting our alliance to help, rest assured, as long as you help me do this, I will definitely not owe it to the alliance." ”

"Oh? It is really difficult to make the lone 'domineering emperor' make such a promise, and it is really difficult to see you. Let's hear it, is it stuck in the task? ”

"That's it, I'm going to find a fleet at sea......"

Da Liang didn't know much about this troop transport fleet, only that this fleet consisted of two three-masted merchant ships, one three-masted battleship, and four two-masted warships.

After Da Liang finished speaking, Xu Man asked, "That's all?" With all this information, you asked me to find this fleet at sea, did you tease me? ”

Da Liang also knew that this matter was indeed very embarrassing, but the fleet had to find it: "By the way, the sailors on the ship are all elves. The two three-masted merchant ships should not be able to run fast when they are fully loaded, and they departed from Hong Kong City at noon yesterday......"

"Wait a minute, I'll send you a piece of software, and you can attach it to your chart." Saying that, Xu Man really passed over something.

Da Liang clicked to download, and at the same time was surprised: "No, you got all the plug-ins out!" Will I be found out and banned after using it? ”

"Anyone who cheats by intercepting game data is definitely banned, and no one can intercept game data in the 'World of Heroes' at the moment. I'm just a set of running assistant software made by a few students from the School of Computer Science, which has passed the official review of the game and is a legal game aid. At present, it is 'Marine Monitoring Version 1.02', and the people in the Alliance's Software Support Department are still optimizing and upgrading it. ”

"Such a bull B!"

"Of course, this software is highly confidential to the Alliance, so don't spread it casually."

Da Liang hurriedly said: "Understood, understood." ”

As he spoke, "Marine Monitoring Version 1.02" was downloaded and installed, and sure enough, the system also prompted that this was a legitimate auxiliary software that could be used with confidence.

After opening the software to overlay his map, Da Liang immediately found that a large number of dots of various colors appeared on the ocean area of the map, some of which were parked in various ports, and some were moving on the sea.

"What is this?"

Xu Man quickly explained to Da Liang.

The greendot league of universities on the map hires ships from the Maritime Association, and the players who follow the ships will record each ship they have seen and feed the data back to the alliance's software department in real time, and the software department will add these discovered ships to the chart based on this data, and estimate their future voyage data based on their model, direction of travel, and speed.

If you select a certain ship, you can also see some simple data, I believe that with the upgrade of the software and the improvement of the quality and experience of the shipmates, this software will have immeasurable strategic value.

Just seeing this, Da Liang was already shocked and couldn't extricate himself: it turns out that the game can still be played like this, which really underestimates the wisdom of players all over the world.

Xu Man said: "All the data on this map is collected and calculated by real people, which is a reasonable auxiliary program recognized by the game, and now I have found someone to go to various coastal cities to be responsible for recording the price changes in various places, and the next time after the software upgrade, you should be able to see those cities by clicking on them." It's just that the whole system is still in its infancy, and many things are still very rudimentary, but it should be enough to deal with the current situation in the oceans. In addition, other large guilds are also developing such software, and when the time comes, we will find a few friendly guilds to connect the data, and basically the entire coast of China will be monitored by us. ”

Obedient...... Chairman Xu, please hug your thighs.

Getting such a software, Da Liang was a little excited, he said: "So, I can find the fleet I am looking for through this nautical chart software?" ”

Xu Man replied: "It is said that we are short of manpower now, and the data of the nautical chart is still a little rudimentary. But well...... In the next few days, I will let all the players of the alliance run the southern route, so many eyes should be easy to find each other, but ...... I don't promise to help you find this fleet. ”

"This is already a great help," Xu Man promised to let all the runners run the southern route this time, which is already a great support, you must know that Xu Man is only a deacon of the college alliance, and there are still many people in the alliance who are constrained by factions, although she said it so easily, but Da Liang knew that she would definitely face the accountability of many people.

What a righteousness! But my brother can't be ignorant.

"I'm willing to offer a 5,000 gold bounty for players who find this fleet......"
