The temporary shipyard next to the Chishui River was full of people.
Everyone knows that a strange ship is being built in this wooden shed. Its shell is like a huge bathtub, made of gray cement. Once that thing solidifies, it is no different from a stone. It will not even see a shadow when thrown into the water except for a thud.
The craftsmen who came here to work gave it an appropriate name: the bathtub boat.
Today is the day when the first two sample ships were launched.
The onlookers were roughly divided into two categories. One was the residents who had newly joined the Bianfeng Town. They were quite curious about the news, and they came to see the new things with a skeptical attitude, including fishermen and sailors from the east and south.
One type is the local residents. They have long been accustomed to the various miracles created by His Highness and have heard of the previous townships. They gathered here in the snow just to see His Highness the prince they worship.
Kakusim is the former.
When His Highness posted this news and a new recruitment order on the square signboard, he said he would come here to see it anyway.
Vader had no choice but to ask Lord Carter for a leave and accompany him to come here with unfamiliar places. In addition, the snow was severe, so he was really worried that the other party would run to the place where the crowd gathered. If he was accidentally pushed and injured, it would be almost an irreversible harm to the old man.
You underestimate me too much, child, the old man waved his hand and signaled that he didn't have to follow him. I have also experienced strong storms. Although I am old, my body is no worse than you.
Yes, Vader disagreed. I have already asked for it anyway, so it's too late for you to say anything.I just don't quite understand why you have to come to see this thing?Isn't it just a ship?
But you said it was made of gray stones, Kakusim shook his head. How could a stone as big as a bathtub float on the water these days?
It’s all my fault for being too talkative. Vader thought to himself that when he was chatting with him, he talked about the announcement in the square. Maybe His Highness just exaggerated the words. Perhaps part of a wooden boat is made of that cement?
That would be even more impossible. The old man insisted, think about it, when was this wooden shed built?
It seems to be... more than a month ago.
That's right, it was earlier than you were recruited as a policeman, and when we moved into the inner city of the town, it was still a vacant area!His beard was shaking, and he used it to build the shed for a month. Wouldn't that mean that His Highness built the first ship in just half a month?
Uh, is there anything wrong?Vader wondered.
Of course not right!Kakusim started yelling, in the name of the sea god!I have never seen a ship that can be built in just half a month. It has nothing to do with the size of it. As long as it is a sailboat, it will take more than a month to process the ribs. It needs to wait until the wood is completely air-dried before it is bent with steam. This process is extremely troublesome and cannot be completed in a short time.
Vader said in surprise, why are you so familiar with shipbuilding?
I used to be a captain, a child, and the old man spitted out white air. When I was young, I often carried a large number of goods through Haifeng County and Bishui Port, and also visited the Kingdom of Morning and the Fjord Islands.Later, it fell to this point because of some things...
You've never told me this before.His eyes widened.
You have never asked, kid.Kakusim shrugged.
Well, Vader turned his eyes to the shipyard, so what you are really curious about is the technology that His Highness can build a sailboat in half a month.
Without the captain, he wouldn't be curious. He touched his beard and said, "If His Highness hadn't lie, do you know what this means?"In just one or two years, he can get all the rivers in Greyburg to run on his fleet.
Vader's heart moved, are you going to...
The old man smiled, I can't eat your porridge for free.
Of course, His Highness the Prince would not lie. Someone suddenly said around him, and that was not a sailboat.
Vader turned around and said that the speaker was a young man, who seemed to be a local resident of the Western Region, not a sailboat?
Yes, it can sail without sailing and it is faster than any sailboat.The other party said proudly, Have you ever seen a steam engine emitting white fog in the mine?The kind that can easily drag a basket of ore out of the mine cave, these cement ships use it as their power. According to Your Highness, they are all steam ships!
Can you sail without sailing?Kakusim questioned, "Boy, what are you talking nonsense? If a boat has no sails, it can only be paddled by paddlers. Such speed cannot be comparable to other sailboats."Besides, they have not yet entered the water, and you have never even seen them, so how can you know they can move?
Of course I've seen it, the young man grinned, "You are new overseas people, it's normal not to know."When it was still summer, I had transformed a steamboat for the caravan across the strait.But that ship is still made of wood, not as durable as these stone ships.
Vader wanted to say something, but the other party's eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed to the shipyard. Look where, His Highness the Prince came out!
There was a burst of cheers in the crowd, and everyone raised their hands to greet their lords.
Prince Roland boarded the temporary wooden platform beside the shipyard, said a few brief congratulations, and immediately announced the launch of the new ship.
Amid the slogans, the workers took apart the wooden shed facing the Chishui River, and a grey hull of forty meters long slid down the river bank along the snow and fell into the cold river water.
Vader's heart suddenly raised. He almost thought that this thing would sink directly into the bottom of the water, but unexpectedly, after the rest of the water was in the water, the bow of the boat was raised again, and a large handful of water splashes were raised.
Passionate applause broke out in the crowd again.
Oh my God, it really floated up, Kakusim was stunned for a moment, but was it really made of stone?
Vader also had the same question. The surface of the bathtub boat looked too smooth, like a finely polished granite slab, but there was no trace of it being pieced together on its body, and the entire hull was integrated.
The cabin without a deck is shallow and cannot sleep at all. The bottom is very flat and the mast is impossible to fix. As everyone said, it is a completely bathtub.
But no matter what, His Highness did build the ship within half a month.
He looked at Kakusim and found the other person's eyes flashing with a radiant gleam.
I want to apply for the position of captain, the old man said.
