Chapter 954 New giant ship

She is now able to get ashore... Roland said with great interest, I remember you said that after she chose to be in the sea, she had not had contact with humans for a long time.

Thanks to the help of His Highness Tilly and Ms. Kamila, Margaret replied with sighing that if she had not had the ability to communicate directly by consciousness, she might not be able to adapt to the normal life.Moreover, Joan had completely forgotten how to speak. Lord Thunder found several bachelors for her, but the results were not ideal. Now she can only speak a few words, and she can't even have a complete conversation.

Speaking of this, the businesswoman paused for a moment, as if he was a little reluctant to speak.

What's wrong?Roland couldn't help asking.

I don't know if it was because of the long-term transformation that some of her parts had become different from humans. Margaret bit her lip. Based on my understanding of witches, they should be the same as ordinary people when they don't use magic.But Joan could not completely return to her previous appearance. Her cheeks, neck, arms and legs all had blue scales, just like those... sea ghosts.

Roland immediately thought of Luo Jia's long ears, um... the scale skin seemed to have a unique charm. Ah cough cough, no, now is not the time to consider this issue. Even the third princess Mad Flame's ears that are harmless to humans and animals can be feared by the people and the people. Qiong's situation is probably only worse.

Did someone maliciously slander her?

We tried our best to prevent it, but it is inevitable that someone would spread the news.Margaret sighed.

If you want to teach her to adapt to human life again, you will not avoid contact with others. Thunder's voice was quite helpless. Even in the fjord, he was one of the few who could accept her appearance. Since taking her to the mansion, he has scared away three maids and two bachelors.There are even rumors outside that I raised a sea ghost in my mansion, and maybe the sea is more suitable for her.

If my friend disliked life on land, I would naturally not let her stay on the island. The businesswoman continued, but judging from the process of contact with others, she did not hate this change.Although she still spends several hours a week soaking in the sea, she is also happy to get along with the maids who accept her. In addition, she prefers to roast it before eating raw fish.

However, such an environment was limited to Thunder's mansion. Roland understood the other party's meaning, but could not think of any good way for a while.

Changing ideas is a long process, especially for Joan.

Even her problems are even more serious than ordinary witches. Her beastly, deformed, or inhuman appearance have been objects of discrimination and rejection for a long time in history.

It will always get better slowly, he could only comfort me, can I see her look up close?

If this problem is really serious, you can only cover it up first. For example, wearing a hat is basically the same as that of ordinary people, like Luo Jia's ears.

Of course, after saying that, Margaret waved to Joan, "Dear, come to me."

But the latter just stuck his head out and looked at it, then hid it back.

Uh... Your Majesty, sorry, she may not be used to the scenes of so many people, Margaret bowed embarrassedly.

It seems that you scared her, and the nightingale was gloating in her ear.

Roland glared at the open space beside her and coughed twice, "It's okay, she has to stay in Wudong City for a while, and she will always get used to it."Let's go to the dock first.

……

In order to build a steel sea boat, Roland specially set out a vacant land of nearly 100 acres in the southwest corner of the shallow, and let the lotus raise the earth wall around it, forming a barrier to block the line of sight.

Not only are there sentry platforms in the four corners, but the First Army is also arranged on the wall. Therefore, apart from the construction workers, not many people know what this big ship that gathers the top industrial level of Wudongcheng looks like.

As the group walked through the earthen wall and walked to the bottom of the dock along the z-shaped staircase, an uncontrollable aura erupted in the team.

Everyone was attracted by the behemoth that was shown before them.

This is definitely not an exaggeration.

When you admire the sea boat from below, the first thing you see is that the tall and upright side of the ship is different from the round three-masted sailboat. Its freeboard is almost perpendicular to the ground, and its abdomen is extremely flat, and the keel part that protrudes from the hull is completely impossible.

With limited perspective, everyone seemed to stand under a towering steel wall, and the sense of oppression can be imagined.

The Three Gods are above...I didn't dream, right?

How heavy can it be?There may be more than 20,000 burdens.

Even the largest three-masted ship is probably not able to withstand it!

Not to mention sailing ships, I think the deep-sea beasts will be frightened to escape when they see it!

Thunder... No, Lord Asuka, you didn't say we were going to fiddle with, it was such a monster Ah!

The team suddenly lost order, and the sailors ran to the side of the boat, touched and knocked on the hull, and their excitement was beyond words.

They are the most experienced boatmen in the Fjords, and even if they have never seen similar sea boats, they realize their extraordinaryness.

And Lei Ting's shock at this moment is no less than that of other people, or rather, it is even stronger.

Because Roland once mentioned in his letter that the ship was cast from top to bottom by steel, and he thought it was an exaggeration to say that even a conventional wooden boat would only use the best wood in key parts.

Therefore, when recruiting his subordinates, he only described the ship as a sailless ocean-less ship with an iron skeleton that is enough to fight against huge waves on the sea line.

But the facts in front of him told him that it was not the case.

Although he knew that Wu Dongcheng was quite good at shipbuilding technology, he did not expect to be exaggerated to this extent.

Let’s not talk about how to splice hard steel together. The raw materials it uses alone are not something that the fjords and islands can reach.

How expensive is steel?

Among all kinds of goods, iron ore is not a luxury product. A pig iron ingot the size of a palm can sell about thirty or forty silver wolves.

But if it is forged into steel, the price will increase by ten times to dozens of times, so that the knights often regard their armor as a family heirloom and inherit it from generation to generation.

More importantly, this process is extremely time-consuming. A blacksmith can only produce seven or eight sets of qualified steel armor throughout his life.

In other words, even if it takes decades to gather all the blacksmiths in the fjord, it is impossible to get so much steel.

At first, what he ordered from Roland was just a steam paddle ship. According to the price he found at the Fjord Chamber of Commerce, it was only about three or four thousand golden dragons.

Therefore, when the other party told him that the cost was only collected, he did not care too much, because the value of a new route alone was far greater than the cost of the ship itself.

Since the King of Graycastle hopes to share information, this transaction cannot be said to have taken advantage of the other party.

He even planned to complete the sea line expedition and pay Roland all the expenses of the ship to take care of his daughter, not for anything else, but just to think that Lightning can live a better life in the future without winter.

But at this moment, Thunder couldn't help but begin to doubt that even if the material cost is only counted, the price of this ship is probably an astonishing number.

He couldn't help but feel sweaty for his wallet.
