Chapter 218 Light Airship
The main role played by the Cattail City Research Institute now is played by the new generation of students and magician apprentices.

These young generations with strong receptive abilities have a strong interest in research and manufacturing. They all want to accomplish something big in the field of science and become the focus of the research institute.

As a technological "expert" who "discovered" the elements and arrangement order of the Green Continent, Clarence will not only be remembered in history, but will also be known by all intelligent creatures on the Green Continent as technology develops.

Many of these young students also hold this idea. Elements, machinery, weapons, etc. have become areas in which they try to change the world and show themselves.

Feng Yu did not object to this, and even encouraged them. If they did not have the heart to change the world, what was the point of studying science? Feng Yu really hoped that these researchers would change the world.

With dozens of talented people emerging who can change the world, Cattail City can really take off.

It is difficult to change the world, but the conditions for doing so are available to build some large machines.

The worship of big machines does not distinguish between science and science fiction. Scientists on Earth like to build big machines like the Large Hadron Collider, and the public also praises big machine-themed movies like Transformers.

The researcher's latest scientific achievement, the Light Airship No. 3, this big guy named Cattail by the development team, perfectly interprets the worship of the big machine that knows no boundaries.

Unlike the expensive magic crystals needed to inflate the goblin airship, for the Cattail City Research Institute, the only thing that can be produced is whether there are the corresponding materials, and there is no need to consider the cost at all.

Except for those mass-produced goods, the rest of Cattail City's industrial system, as we say on Earth, are laboratory creations. They pursue excellence and scientific and technological verification. As for the cost, the researchers have to consider it.

Does the scientific research system of Xiangpu City have any cost? Almost none. Although the products produced in Xiangpu City's industrial zone are of good quality and low price, they are still very profitable compared to its manufacturing cost.

But the people of Cattail City don't need so much money. Feng Yu started the monetary economic system of Cattail City just to make the flow of materials easier to control and to free the halflings and workers from the concepts of clans and races, and be tied down by Cattail City.

Therefore, most of these huge profits were converted into resources to supply the academic and research system of Xiangpu City.

The goblins were also happy to collect rare resources from all over the continent for Cattail City. After all, it was a good deal that made money on both ends. Even if Cattail City did not offer a high price, it was still profitable, and it was better than returning with an empty airship.

It is worth mentioning that before the successful development of large light airships, the migrating population also arrived that year, but on a much smaller scale, and more than half of them migrated for the purpose of joining Cattail City, and almost all of them were Halflings.

It is foreseeable that the grain output of Pupu City will increase again next year. The grain harvested every year in the future will not only solve the food problem of the people in Pupu City, but also the surplus output will be stockpiled as strategic materials for emergency use.

And this grain output is the part that the halflings take out for trading. Feng Yu knows that the halfling farmers, who are used to hardship, have stored a lot of grain in their homes.

This can be seen from the large ceramic jars that are in short supply in the farmers' market. Those things are two meters high, and short people have to use a ladder to climb up, which makes it absolutely inconvenient to fill them with water on a daily basis.

Each of the half-orc farmers bought two or three of them. Without asking, you could tell that they were buying them to store food.

Feng Yu did not interfere with this. Anyway, they could not store all the grain. There was no use having too much grain. No matter how well it was sealed, old grain would not be as fragrant as new grain. The price would also be lowered if it was sold. Even if the halflings stored more grain, they could not store half of the grain for a season.

"Teacher, when the light airship was first developed, you said that it was used to increase the goblins' transportation capacity and thereby increase the trade volume of our Cattail City.

I asked the research institute, and they said that light airships already have a basis for large-scale use, so should we set a price and sell them out as soon as possible? "

Feng Yu thought for a while and said, "We are going to sell it to the goblins, but we still have to meet our own needs first. It will mainly be used to transport supplies to the Snow Peak Mountains. The transportation conditions in the Dwarf Kingdom are too poor, and it is too difficult to transport supplies.

Secondly, it has to meet military needs. As you know, with the upgrading of our weapon systems, although our combat effectiveness has been enhanced, the demand for ammunition has also increased.

The airship, a mode of transportation that is not restricted by terrain, is very suitable for transporting logistical materials such as weapons and ammunition. However, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it has no defense and is too large to be attacked.

Of course, they have to figure out how to solve this problem themselves.

But let's equip ourselves first. We'll produce five ships first, transport two to the Snow Peak Mountains, and make a frame of the rest to be modified for the Cattail City Iron Army.

As for the goblins, they will not use this new type of transportation until we show them its capacity and safety. After all, this thing is in the sky, and it is useless to say anything if we can't guarantee its safety. Goblins are very afraid of death."

Illya, the chief steward of the industrial company, flipped through the notebook, wrote down Feng Yu's arrangement, and said, "Okay, let's build a special airship factory to produce airships.

However, once the airships are adopted by the goblins, the production of some of our products will not be able to keep up."

Feng Yu nodded: "I've made a note of this. I will start arranging the construction of a new factory later. We should also realize electrified semi-automatic large-scale production. Don't worry about the output!"

"Regarding the research you mentioned about distilling aromatic hydrocarbons from flint, there are already results. A research team successfully used a kind of unpleasant-smelling flint distillation extract to dilute a very fragrant liquid.

Also, the degreasing substances made from animal fats and other materials that you mentioned have also been completed, and they are trying to mass-produce them. Do these two products also need to be included in our trade list?
I think...no one would like these two things!
That thing you call soap, while it works OK, doesn’t taste very good.”

Feng Yu smiled and said, "Who can say this? But you can add aromatic hydrocarbons to the soap, wouldn't it smell good?!

I will handle this myself. After the finished product is ready, we will give some to the goblins. These profiteers are quite good at deceiving humans. Let them try first to see if it works."

"What are you going to do with the weapons and ammunition factories you promised Lord Bori?"
