Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 25 Handover on a rainy night
"Aluminum?" Andu was holding black tea and looking at the list handed over by Huang Jiang on the table. In order to prevent possible mirage invasion, he planned to purchase resources worth 200 crystal stones.

This was understandable, after all, Andersen was also hoarding resources because of the mirage problem, but one shipload of aluminum materials surprised him.

"Why do you need so much? This thing is expensive and impractical." Anders touched the warm tea cup, "Besides making tableware and kitchen utensils, what else can it be used for?"

Aluminum ore in the Federation is rare and difficult to prepare. Aluminum products were even equivalent to gold in the past. Many nobles are often proud of owning a piece of aluminum tableware. The big nobles also like to use aluminum tableware to display it at banquets. own wealth.However, with the emergence of new technology, the preparation of aluminum is much simpler, and the output has also increased, but because the quantity is small, the price has remained high. Although it is no longer as exaggerated as being equivalent to gold, the price is definitely not high. Fei.

As a deacon from a commoner background, Andu's sudden desire to purchase such flashy resources made Andu very curious.

But Andersen was not a talkative person, and he was not interested in exploring the thoughts of the man in front of him.He relied on his friend Le Pen to get out of the predicament of a young nobleman, and he naturally knew the importance of friends in life.

Huang Jiang didn't intend to explain Anduo's question, but just paid a deposit.

"I didn't expect that not even a month later, you summoned another sea soul." The reason why Anduo didn't ask further was because of this, "It's still a different sea soul."

This time when Huang Jiang came to Jimu Island, he did not bring fireflies with him, but Lexington.

Saratoga was originally going to follow, but Huang Jiang did not dare to reveal too much about his trump card to the outside world. He brought Lexington with him to prop up the scene and avoid causing trouble.

This made Saratoga very unhappy. Before leaving, she kept whispering in Huang Jiang's ear:
"What about me? What about me?"

Lexington sat elegantly beside Huang Jiang. She didn't ask about the conversation between the two deacons, but chatted with Hai Pingxing, talking to each other.

Andu accepted the order and promised to transport all the resources to Jimu Island in half a month. He also charged Huangjiang 50 crystal stones for shipping, which can be said to be very expensive.

"Such a lot of aluminum can only be purchased directly from Sunflower Ling, so the cost on the road may be a bit high." Anduo explained, "Oh, by the way. You haven't received your resources for this month yet. I'll accompany you later." You go to the dock to hand over it. Because Jialan Island is too dangerous, the fleet that distributes resources only goes to Jimu Island and then goes back. In the future, most of the resources allocated to you will be handed over in this way."

Huang Jiang had known about this for a long time, and that was why he went out this time.

There are not many resources in the Deacon's Mansion. After several consecutive days of expedition, even the relatively small aircraft carriers and destroyers in the ship's wife make it a bit unaffordable for him.

Think about it if you have dozens of battleships under your command, the resources must be like running water.

Thinking of this, Huang Jiang had a headache. Has poverty limited his imagination?
Huang Jiang lay back and leaned on the back of the chair. He glanced at Andersen's scale decoration and accidentally saw the black box on the corner of the table. The box was placed in a transparent glass cover and opened.There were several little people wrestling there, who were the damage control he gave to Andersen.

It seems that Andersen does not believe in the function of damage control and only treats it as an ordinary decoration.

At Anduo's urging, Huang Jiang stood up.

The handover procedure was very fast. Although it was raining outside, the resources were loaded onto the ship quickly.

The federal resource units are very unique. They are counted according to the space occupied by the resources, which is called a grid.

Fuel and steel have different weights per block, but the volume is the same.

The reason why this volume unit was originally used as a unit of resources is unknown. In short, this tradition has become subtle, which makes people like Huang Jiang, who have measured the amount of goods by weight since childhood, a little uncomfortable, and even made some small noises in the middle. It was a joke, but fortunately Lexington was by his side and helped him make it right.The ships allocated by the federation are standard resource transport ships that can transport one thousand blocks of resources. According to federal regulations, the resources allocated to each deacon per month are [-] blocks of oil and [-] blocks of steel, totaling one ship.

Huang Jiang has signed the formalities, and the ship will be escorted by him to Jialan Island, and then returned to Jimu Island under his escort.

The rain still didn't stop.

The weather was overcast, and the air smelled of earth and grass.

The spring rain is a little cold, but it has a magical power that warms people's hearts.

After completing the resource procedures, Huang Jiang, accompanied by Andu, went to Jimu Island's largest trading place, which was a market built with steel frames not far from the pier.

"What do you want sheep for? You don't want to work part-time as a big farmer." Andu smiled and led the way. "I was really shocked when you sent me a message a few days ago."

"You also know the situation on Gloria Island." Huang Jiang held the umbrella, but Lexington took it away. He wanted to say a few words, but was stared at by his wife, so he could only mutter in his heart and let his wife hold the umbrella for him. .

"When I got there, I found that the situation was more serious than I thought. I didn't dare to let the islanders go fishing at will, but then they would have no livelihood, so I thought about not wasting the grassland on Jialan Island and temporarily leaving the sheep Lend them grazing, and I'll hire them." Huang Jiang didn't know what to do with his hands, so he could only put them stiffly into his pockets.

"It's rare to see a deacon who cares about the people like you, but if you have the time, you might as well save the money to save the summoning crystals for the sea soul." Anduo couldn't understand Huang Jiang's approach, but he also admitted that it was a good thing.

He slowed down, came to Huang Jiang's side, and continued: "These few days are really not peaceful, maybe because the mirage is not normal recently. Haipingxing has not rested these days, and there are occasions in the direction of Jialan Island. The mirage was missed. But our side is pretty good, it is not the main target of the west wind drift, but the situation on Wengzhu Island is miserable."

"What happened to Wengzhu Island?" Huang Jiang then remembered that he had forgotten this matter.

But I have done my duty to remind you.

"The first mirage captain of West Wind Drift has appeared." Anduo's face was solemn. This means that West Wind Drift is not a weak front as they imagined in the past. There is no mirage captain just because they usually do not appear in people's sight. , "It's called 'Manta Ray'."

"'Manta'..." This was probably the purple cabbage-like figure that Firefly saw that day.

"The battle on Wengzhu Island has not stopped yet, and Mirage seems to have made up his mind to seize this oil island." Andu said, "But the Governor of Gypsophila has sent his sea soul troops to support, it should be very soon The results will be available soon. Haven’t you seen these messages on the forum?”

"I didn't notice. Isn't it all Sartre's news lately?" Huang Jiang shrugged.

"Sart..." Anders pondered, glancing at Lexington beside Huang Jiang.

If I hadn't known the source of his funds and knew that there was no fleet from the Chamber of Commerce heading to Glory Island, I would have been as surprised as the deacons from the Sunflower and Maluokui collars.

　Ask for collection!Ask for a recommendation!
