I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.
Chapter 909 I'll Name My Price, 1 Million
Today, the artisan guild is bustling with people.
Skilled artisans from all over the kingdom gathered, hoping to showcase their talents within the guild.
The materials brought back from the exploration of the underworld, after being studied by the craftsmen, opened up new avenues of thought for them.
It is believed that materials science will soon experience explosive growth.
The upcoming interdimensional war will require providing adventurers with many useful resources.
Many artisans invent new things in their fields, hoping to improve their skills and become masters as soon as possible.
The Craftsmen's Guild's rank badges are now divided into the following levels: Common Craftsman, Proficient Craftsman, Specialist Craftsman, and Master Craftsman.
Master craftsmen are further divided into one-star masters to five-star masters!
Lord Anno and the guild leader, Princess Selena of the Kingdom, both admitted to one thing.
Becoming a master craftsman in any field, with the guild's medal, not only grants one extremely high status and treatment within the kingdom, but also allows one's name to be engraved on the Master Craftsman's Monument erected in front of the Craftsmen's Guild.
The kingdom's history also records names.
Master craftsmen with a rank of three stars or higher can be considered national treasures!
The allure of fame and fortune was too great for the artisans.
In this era, the skills that artisans possessed were merely skills used to fill their stomachs.
Hearing that they could not only make a lot of money, but also improve their status and have their names passed down to future generations like nobles, all the craftsmen were full of enthusiasm.
The magic spaceship was able to be developed so quickly not only because of advancements in materials, but also because of the painstaking research and development efforts of a large number of craftsmen.
When the magical spaceship concept proposed by Anno was actually built by these craftsmen themselves, all of them were stunned.
At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds: Lord Anno is really amazing, he can even come up with something like this.
Of course, many craftsmen also felt that they were very skilled at making this thing.
Regarding the confidentiality agreement Selena signed with them, which stipulated that the artisans involved in building the magic spaceship were not allowed to leave the Artisan Guild before Anno's inspection, not a single artisan felt that they were being treated with excessive suspicion.
The artisans involved in the research on the magic spaceship are among the most skilled artisans in the Artisan Guild today.
Builders, rune masters, array masters, gem setters, designers, weapon forgers, and so on.
Too many people got involved.
These people included not only artisans from the Dwarf Kingdom and the Kingdom of Nigar, but also artisans from neighboring countries who came to Xuelong City to develop their careers.
The more secretive Selena was, the more the artisans felt that their work was being taken seriously.
And everyone has been busy these days.
The performance of the first-generation magic spaceship is being tested.
Although many things are contrary to traditional ideas for people today.
However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in all aspects.
The craftsmen are currently focusing on making improvements.
When Anno arrived at the special dock where the magic spaceship was now moored, led by Selena, his eyes lit up.
The entire magical airship was about twenty meters wide and fifty meters long, with the tallest mast reaching forty meters. The flags of the Craftsmen's Guild and the city of Xuelong fluttered in the wind.
This size is specifically designed for dimensional teleportation arrays—the dimensional teleportation portal is thirty meters wide and fifty meters high.
It's just the right distance to a magic spaceship.
The chief designer standing next to Anno explained, "This is truly a behemoth, and most importantly, it can actually fly."
The ship has three decks.
The bottom layer consists of various magical runes etched by rune masters and array masters, used to transmit the central energy and enable the magic spaceship to fly.
The spaceship's exterior was also etched with a defensive array.
Once activated, it is powered by energy stones specifically designed for defense, which supply magic to deploy a massive shield that protects the entire spaceship and defends against enemy attacks.
The second floor is the warehouse, the area for storing goods.
The first floor is the living quarters for the crew of the spaceship.
On the deck, there was the array of turrets we called the "Destruction Array"!
As he spoke, the designer excitedly pointed to the cannon barrel protruding from the muzzle of the cannon on the deck.
On each side of the spaceship are bases for five cannons, but they are not fully loaded at the moment.
Their bases were firmly fixed to the deck.
At the stern of the deck, the bases of two cannons are placed side by side.
On the bow of the second-floor ship, there was also a dark cannon muzzle.
The cannons on the magic spaceship are no ordinary cannons.
The original design intended it to be equipped with magic crystal cannons purchased from the dwarf kingdom.
Each magic crystal cannon has a base that is three meters long, two meters wide, and two meters high!
The cannon barrel is even ten meters long!
The ship is fully loaded and can carry thirteen magic crystal cannons.
This means that as long as there are enough magic crystals, the enemy forces will face constant bombardment from thirteen seventh-tier mages!
The key point is that this ship can easily transport several hundred combat soldiers.
We'll arrange for a magic mage group or a hunter group to join then.
On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers are nothing more than mobile killing machines.
Above the deck, there was a huge 'canvas' made from the skin of the tiger shark clan that had previously invaded Valkam.
There are more than a dozen of them, and each one has a very large surface area.
Numerous wind-elemental magic circles are engraved on them.
However, Anno estimated that even without activating the magic circle after takeoff, these canvases alone would provide enough thrust.
The spaceship has propellers at the bottom of the tail and on the sides, all of which are controlled by magical energy.
Direction can also be controlled by varying the power output.
"Lord Anno, the spaceship has now undergone fifteen flight tests, with a total flight distance of one hundred kilometers."
In the previous few attempts, we mainly focused on whether it could take off, and the flight range was basically several hundred meters.
In the last few tests, we measured flight mileage.
The current record for the distance of a single flight is fifty kilometers!
Its top speed can reach an astonishing thirty kilometers per hour.
Anno followed the designer around the ship and nodded in satisfaction.
But there is another very important issue.
"How's the energy consumption?"
"Well......"
The designer suddenly became somewhat hesitant, glancing at Selena beside Anno.
Serena sighed and said, "The main problem right now is that the energy consumption is a bit high."
Leaving aside the construction costs, the flight costs alone are about a thousand gold coins per kilometer.
That means you need 1 gold coin to move one meter!
This is still the minimum consumption.
If actions such as acceleration, deceleration, or turning are performed, energy consumption will increase exponentially.
If the turrets are activated again, there will be even more.
Once this giant starts moving, it consumes a huge amount of gold coins every second.
Do you know why a spacecraft's single flight record is only fifty kilometers?
Because I no longer have the money to continue testing.
All the funds accumulated by the Craftsmen's Guild since its establishment have been spent on this behemoth.
My craftsmen all started taking on private jobs to earn money and then using it to subsidize the spaceship's testing projects.
"Anno, I'll sell you this ship for 100 million gold coins. That's not too much to ask, is it?"
Although energy consumption is a major issue, anyone with normal intelligence knows the role that magic spaceships can play on the battlefield.
It's not just a matter of lethality.
If more of these ships were built, and they were to hover over the enemy forces and fire several volleys, they could directly reduce the enemy's morale to the lowest possible level.
Moreover, with it around, there's no need to besiege the city at all.
Fly over the city and fire a few shots.
If you're not happy, come and hit me!
What? You're saying this thing is too big and will be attacked by high-level enemy experts? Faced with agile high-level enemy experts, the magic spaceship will soon be used as a sitting duck and destroyed?
Such a valuable weapon of war, Anno must be out of his mind to let the enemy's high-ranking officers get close to it!
Are our high-ranking officers just sitting around doing nothing?
