Money, wealth.

That's a big question!

After the Floating City Project, Sauron suddenly felt that his abundant finances were a little tight. Not to mention the very money-burning experimental progress of Golia and the Fallen Witch, the renovation project of the first phase of the Floating City alone is already costly. If you use an analogy, building a floating tower is equivalent to building an aircraft carrier, which is just a little difficult for a country, then building a floating city is directly preparing to build a space battleship (space fortress) across the era, and the speed at which all kinds of research and materials burn money is simply terrifying!

For example, Goliath and the Fallen Witch.

Even if the two of them did not make any progress in their research, they would have to burn at least 30,000 Kindler materials a month.

Looking at the entire physical plane, that is, Sauron and Modo City can bear it, and if it is replaced by other forces, it will collapse financially in an instant. A year just for ordinary experiments need to burn 360,000 kindlers, and if there is a breakthrough in the experimental results, then the cost of funds will increase exponentially.

Sauron was fine when he didn't start the Floating City project.

After opening it, he felt that even if he was a god, it was not easy to make money to support these two money-burning girls!

But.

If Goliath and the Fallen Witch succeed, the benefits will be unimaginable, and it can almost be said that the progress of the entire civilization will be advanced.

In a nutshell.

What Sauron and the city of Mordor are currently doing is almost single-handedly advancing the progress of civilization in the material plane.

So the speed of spending money is naturally conceivable!

Maybe it's because it's been spending money so fast lately. Sauron is a little bit eager to pull the eldest princess in, Arendelle's wealth is still a lot anyway, and it is wasted in the treasury, how good it is to take it out and use it to climb the alchemy technology tree.

The idea had only just emerged, and Sauron felt that it was feasible.

So, when he had an in-depth conversation with Goliath in the evening, he gave his idea a little bit of a boost.

Unexpectedly, Goliath agreed directly.

And as a specific technocracy, Goliath had more to think of than Sauron.

Then.

Here's what Golia said: "That's a very good idea! However, Arendelle itself has its own aristocratic power. If there is no visible wealth. They may not be willing to give up so much wealth. ”

Speaking of which.

Goliath climbed straight out of bed naked, and as the velvet quilt slid down, her beautiful body was exposed to the air. However, at present, neither of them was in the mood to continue to snap, and Golia directly waved out a drawing, and then handed it to Sauron, and said, "This is what I saw when I flipped through the book some time ago. ”

"Look!"

"It's called a floatboat!"

"It used to be used in the early days of the Arcane Empire for a long time! It looks a bit like a ship, except that the sails have been replaced with balloons and a small floating ring has been added to the bottom. ”

"At the moment, the whole sea area is not as safe as it used to be."

"Whether it is the trade of the South Coast, or the trade of Arendelle, or the trade of the Eastern Countries, it is not something that ordinary merchant ships can satisfy now."

"So I wondered if I was going to try to make a bunch of floatboats."

"If we can make a batch of samples. Trade between the South Coast and Arendale could be restored, and possibly far beyond what it used to be. ”

Floatboats?

Sauron froze at one glance, because wasn't this thing an airship to him?

Why didn't you think of it?

After seeing the drawings, Sauron's mind suddenly came alive, and he pondered for a moment before speaking, "How much does it cost?" Troublesome? ”

Golia shook her head and said, "The cost is mainly focused on the floating ring. ”

"We've figured out how to make the silver, but the cost is still above 15,000 kindlers."

"If it is implemented, we can quote more than 30,000 kindlers."

"I believe that many chambers of commerce and nobles are willing to pay this money, and if the daily maintenance of the float boat is carried out, it can also bring in an income, and we still have a lot of witches who lack a daily job."

Maybe it's because I feel like I'm spending too much.

Even Goliath is starting to think about how to earn some money to support her family. I have to say that she is still quite virtuous.

"There's a head!"

Sauron put down the drawings and put his hand on Goliath's full chest, kissed her fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "If the floating boat appears, it can completely make up for the current sluggish commercial trade." ”

"And the trade of Modo City can no longer be limited to ******."

"What a great idea!"

"Maybe we can also reach out to Fortune Church. Presumably the Lady of Fortune must be interested in this trade-enhancing thing. ”

The city of Mordor had a large number of warships and merchant ships.

However, due to the outbreak of the Sage Catastrophe, the current sea trade is not as easy as it used to be, and if some of it can be converted into floating boats, then all trade can be resumed. And it's safer than before. Because there are fewer enemies in the sky, the only trouble is that the control requirements are much higher than before.

"This thing needs to be thought about how to use it!"

As soon as Sauron's mind opened, he had a lot of ideas, and the floatship must still be in his own hands. He pondered for a moment and then said, "You started experimenting in the past two days. ”

"If it works, I'll go to Arendale myself in a while."

"When the time comes, we can first transform a batch of our own warships and merchant ships, and the trade of the eastern country has shrunk by nearly sixty percent, and we must bring these back."

"I'm sure the Northland Witches Council will be interested in this stuff too."

"You go and contact the Eye of the Northland in person when the time comes, the floating boat will definitely need the caster for daily maintenance, and if we want to expand the scale, we can't eat it alone."

Goliath also nodded when she heard this, but there was a hint of blush on her coquettish face, and she raised her hand and patted Sauron's fingers, and said softly: "It is necessary to maintain the daily maintenance of the spellcaster." ”

"And it's best to sail with a spellcaster."

"We just need to firmly grasp the core of the floating ring and the magic energy drive part of this thing, and the rest can be handed over to the Northland Witch Council to be in charge."

"But!"

"There's a downside to this stuff too!"

"That is, the cost is too high, and it is only suitable for transporting goods of higher value, and before the problem of magic energy supply is solved, the profits brought by ordinary trade in goods may not be comparable to consumption."

Sauron thought for a moment and said, "These can be taken slowly, the most important thing for this thing at the moment is that it can transport strategic materials and the most scarce things at the moment." ”

"Let's see how Arendale reacts before we think about the next step."

With that, Sauron picked up Golia, she had offered such a good idea today, Sauron felt that he needed to treat her well.
