Release that Witch

955. Chapter 955 Uninformed Reunion

    When Thunder raised his doubts, Roland couldn’t help but tilt his mouth.

    I have to say that this explorer really can 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, but he certainly will not follow the blacksmith’s forging cost. Charge cost, otherwise it will hurt your feelings.

    In fact, if it wasn’t for Neverwinter City to build a large number of steelmaking equipment after the success of the converter experiment, there would be no way to promote the two major projects of steel ship and rail train in a short time. The steel mill that has left the witch has entered a benign development stage, taking iron from the blast furnace area, taking charcoal from the coking tower, and then discharging the molten steel into a simple ingot. The whole process has been de-humidized.

    In addition to the various workers in the vast factory, the rest are all auxiliary machinery driven by the Steam engine. The tumbling water vapor is often mixed with the floating dust to form the unique environment of the Northern Slope Mountain – fog. If you look up at the heights of the city and look in the direction of the Impassable Mountains, you will see a “grey cloud” that covers the mountainside.

    At full capacity, steel mills produce more steel per day than in the past, which is the basis for all industrial projects in Neverwinter City. On this basis, everything will undergo qualitative changes, but few people can truly 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. “Because that is not the point. I have said that the development of new seas is of great significance to all mankind. As King of Greycastle, nature is willing to contribute to this. ”

    Thunder moved, “Your vision makes me admire…Few people are willing to spend money in places that they can’t see. Even in the fjord, the Chamber of Commerce prefers new routes that bring benefits. Although you can’t get involved in the game, this idea has surpassed many explorers. ”

    Are you thinking that the things I said at Old Kingdom Capital are scenes? Roland didn’t take it seriously. If you want to understand the world’s desires, I am afraid no one can match myself. After all, it may be related to the source of War of Divine Will and the secret hidden behind the scenes.

    “Let’s go to the ship first to see it.”He smiled and changed the subject. “Since it is here, I will take you to visit it from start to finish.”

    “That would be great, Your Majesty!”Thunder pouted back.

……

    Since there is no ready-made information for reference, this steel ship can be said to be a collection of classic ship types, or it can be said to be four. Its first half is similar to the iron armor, the ship’s head is oblique, and the waterline is below. There is a collision angle; the middle section is rapidly widened to obtain stability under high sea conditions as much as possible; the tail is flat tail, similar to modern ships, with a total tonnage of about 2,500 tons.

    Roland also thought about adding some black technology to improve its performance, such as the ball nose and fin stabilizer, but the former needs to be designed separately according to the ship type and speed, 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.

    But that doesn’t mean it’s an enlarged version of the HMS Roland Shallow Water Gunship. It’s just the core of its power – a Stream Turbine assembled by Anna, which is something that Thunder and others can’t 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 or bad in effect, even if the sea is noisy, The captain can also clearly hear the reports of various units.

    And it is worth mentioning that these hand-cranked phones are equipped with a magical Dawning mini power supply, which is enough to support an extra long time adventure.

    “This is simply…Unbelievable,” After visiting the complete ship, Thunder stood in the towering bridge with a clear window. “I even think she is not a sea boat, but a movable sea fortress.” ”

    Did you change the title, Roland grinned a little, “How, didn’t you let me down?”

    “No, Your Majesty, you are too high to see me,” the explorer did not hide his satisfaction. “She is the most beautiful ship I have ever seen in my life, no matter which aspect has exceeded my expectations.” I now feel that as long as she has her, it is not a problem across the entire vortex. ”

    “Don’t rush to the conclusion,” he waved his hand. “To be honest, I don’t know anything about shipbuilding. So it can only be regarded as a complicated machine. It can’t be regarded as a real sea boat. To what extent can it be achieved? Look at the next sea test. Data including speed, stability, number of seafarers, food storage, etc., are all required. If it goes well, after this year’s Months of Demon, you can set off for the Hidden Shadow. ”

    “A glimpse…Nowhere? ”Thunder groaned. “If you say that the old craftsmen of the fjord know, they will definitely hate jumping.” Having said that, if you can make such an amazing steel ship without knowing anything about shipbuilding, what would you know? ”

    “You will know this question tomorrow,” Roland sold. “But before that, you still enjoy the welcome party tonight.”

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

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

    The steady and soft Illumination Stone replaces the candle, the round table with white cloth replaces the old long wooden table; the glass with the wine makes up the champagne tower, and the musician also pulls up the violin – since the City Hall treasury is filling up Not only does the castle’s decoration look brand new, but even the banquet style is getting closer to the Kingdom Capital style. Most of the invited people are Neverwinter and the top of the league, and Witch Union, which is a must-have, is no exception.

    “The one who is standing next to Your Majesty is the explorer from your hometown?”Logia looked at the other side with interest and turned to look at Lightning. “Don’t you talk to him?”

    “His name is Sander Bird, right?”The little girl shrugged and sent a piece of roasted mushroom into the mouth of the dove at the top of her head. “A name that I have never heard of is definitely a nameless person. There is nothing to talk about. You don’t know, the fjord’s explorer is endless, but most of them are just captains who have run one or two long-distance routes, even the hurricane and big waves have not seen. ”She is paused, “Why is Mystery Moon not coming over, isn’t it a good idea to challenge our Exploration Club?”

    “But the people who can get the Great Chief to meet, it shouldn’t be a general,” like me…Logia shook his tail. “Maybe he heard your father’s news?”

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

    “Agree with you!”Macy followed, “I’m always wrong!”

    Lightning whispered indifferently. “Since you all said this, then I will say hello.”
