Release that Witch Chapter 955: Uninformed reunion

When Thunder raised a question in his mind, Roland could not help but raise his mouth.

I have to say that this explorer can really see the essence of the problem. According to the standards of the manual era, the price of any large pile of industrial products can be counted as sky-high price, but he will definitely not follow the blacksmith's forging cost. Go to charge cost, otherwise it will be too emotional.

In fact, if Neverwinter City had not built a large number of new steelmaking equipment after the successful BOF experiment, there would be no way to advance the two major projects of steel seaboats and rail trains at the same time. The steelmaking plant that has departed from witch has now entered a benign development stage. From the blast furnace area to take iron, coking tower and carbon, to the molten steel out of the furnace, simple ingots, the entire process has been demagnetized.

Except for various workers in the large factory area, the rest are all auxiliary machinery driven by steam engine. Tumbling water vapor is often mixed with floating dust to form the unique environmental fog of Northern Slope Mountain. If you stand at a high place in the city and look up in the direction of Impassable Mountains, you will see a "gray cloud" covering the mountainside.

With the steel plant operating at full capacity, the output of steel in a day is higher than the annual output of a previous city, which is also the basis of all industrial projects of Neverwinter City. On this basis, everything will undergo qualitative changes, but few people can really understand the meaning behind it.

"The price can be discussed later, but I guarantee it is much less than the lowest price you think," Roland smiled slightly, "because that is not the point. I said that opening new seas to all humanity It is of great significance to say that, as King of Greycastle, it is naturally willing to contribute to this. "

Thunder said enthusiastically, "I admire your vision ... Few people are willing to spend money where they can't see it. Even in the fjords, the Chamber of Commerce prefers new routes that can bring benefits. Although You ca n’t get involved in it yourself, but this idea has surpassed many explorer. "

Co-author Do you think that what I said on the old Kingdom Capital is a scene? Roland thought inadvertently, and on the basis of the desire to understand this world, I am afraid that no one can compare with himself. After all, it may be related to the source of War of Divine Will and the secret hidden behind the scenes.

"Compared to this, let's get on the boat and take a look." He smiled and changed the topic. "Since it's here, I'll take you through it from beginning to end."

"That would be better, Your Majesty!" Thunder replied with a grin.

...

Because there is no ready-made information for reference at all, this steel sea ship can be said to be a collection of classic ship types, and it can also be said to be four. Unlike the first half, it is similar to an iron armored ship, the bow is inclined outward, below the waterline. It is equipped with a collision angle; the middle section is quickly widened to obtain stability under high sea conditions as much as possible; the stern is flat tail, similar to modern ships, with a total tonnage of about 2,500 tons.

Roland has also tried to add some black technology to improve its performance, such as bulbous nose and fin stabilizer, but the former needs to be designed separately according to the type and speed of the ship, while the latter requires complex mechanical linkage structure to adjust the angle. Considering the construction period, reliability and other factors, he finally gave up these choices far beyond the times.

However, this does not mean that it is an enlarged version of H.M.S. Roland shallow water weight gunship. Just the core of its power, a steam turbine assembled by Anna, is something that Thunder and others cannot understand. In addition, the hand-cranked telephone was used for the first time in cabin communication. Several lines connected the command post, the engine room and the observation tower. Compared with the sound tube that is good and bad, even if it is noisy on the sea, The captain could also clearly hear the reports from the units.

It is worth mentioning that these hand-cranked phones are equipped with the Dawning Mini power supply after enchanted, which is enough to support an ultra-long adventure.

"It's ... unbelievable," after visiting the ship, Thunder was amazed at the towering bridge in the window. "I don't even think she is a sea ship, but a mobile sea fortress. "

Did you change the title? Roland laughed a few times, "How about, did you not let you down?"

"No, Your Majesty, you look at me too high," explorer did not conceal her satisfaction, "She is the most wonderful ship I have ever seen in my life, and it has exceeded my expectations in any aspect. .I now feel that as long as she has her, it will not be a problem to cross the entire vortex sea. "

"Don't rush to a conclusion," he waved, "I honestly know nothing about shipbuilding, so it can only be regarded as a complex machine now, not a real sea ship, and to what extent It depends on the next sea trial. Data such as speed, stability, number of seafarers, food storage, etc., need to be provided by you. If successful, after the end of this year's Months of Demons, you can set off for the Hidden Shadow sea area. "

"A clue ... nowhere?" Thunder whispered, "If you let that group of old craftsmen in the fjord know, they will jump into the sea with hate. Then again, if you don't know anything about shipbuilding, all Can you make such an amazing steel ship, what would you know? "

"You will know this question tomorrow," Roland sold a key point, "but before that, you still enjoy the welcome party tonight."

*******************

After night, the hall of the castle is brightly lit.

The stable and soft Illumination Stone replaces the candle, the round table covered with white cloth replaces the old long wooden table; the glass containing wine constitutes the champagne tower, and the musician also plays the violin. Since the City Hall vault has gradually filled, Not only the decoration of the castle has been renewed, but also the banquet style is getting closer to Kingdom Capital style. And most of the invited people are Neverwinter and the top of the league, and Witch Union, which is a must-attend event, is naturally no exception.

"The person standing next to Your Majesty is explorer from your hometown?" Logia looked at the other person with interest, turned his head to Lightning, "Aren't you going to talk to him?"

"His name is Sander Bird, right?" The little girl shrugged and sent a slice of roasted mushrooms to the pigeon's mouth above her head. "A name that I have never heard of is definitely an unknown person, nothing to talk about. You do n’t I know, there are countless explorers in the fjords, but most of them are only the captains who have run one or two outlying routes, and have not even seen a hurricane or a big wave. "She paused," Why Mystery Moon has not come yet, not that it is good Are you challenging us Exploration Club? "

"But the people who can be interviewed by Great Chief should not be generals," for example, I ... Logia shook tail, "Maybe he heard the news from your father?"

joining Neverwinter Exploration Club After a while, she also learned more about the past of the two companions.

"Agree with the goo!" Macy echoed, "Ask me all the time!"

Lightning said indifferently, "Since you all say that, I'll just say hello."
