Chapter 356

On the shore, a large number of orcs gathered there, looking at this giant steel ship seriously.

Pioneer is 100 meters long, 20 meters wide, and has a displacement of [-] tons.

A black column of smoke surged into the sky, and there was a wave of water at the tail of the ship. The thick black steel hull broke through the water wave, and the water wave was split in half, forming a V-shaped wave ripple, which rippled to the left and right.

This behemoth sailed on the canal, much larger than the average sailing ship.

The orcs from Outer Town stood on the shore, wiped their eyes, and excitedly discussed the huge size of the ironclad ship with their companions.

Those sailboats carrying cargo were not as huge as the ironclad ships. They were like weak children in front of the ironclad ships, the kind that could pierce the hull with a single bump.

"The Pioneer is so big, what a terrifying ship!"

"If Lionheart Nation wants to fight sea battles in the future, won't the wooden ships of other countries be dumbfounded when they see our ironclad ships, haha!"

"Yeah, thinking about it makes me very passionate. I have decided. I want to sign up to join the army and join the naval trial training team in Tomorrow City!"

"Do we ordinary people have a chance to join?"

When the young orc saw the magnificent scene of the steel giant swimming on the river, his heart was moved, and he really wanted to join the Tomorrow Navy.

"Everyone has a chance. As long as they are of sufficient age and physical strength, and are an official resident of Tomorrow City, they can go to the Military Department of the Administration Building to sign up to join the army." The orcs in the Military Department suddenly interrupted to promote the upcoming conscription plan for Tomorrow City.

"I want to participate!"

"I want to participate too, add me!"

The young orcs excitedly raised their hands. At this moment, they were very grateful that they had the official resident certificate of Tomorrow City.

In the other group of the crowd, some people are happy and some are worried.

The administrative staff complained to the deputy city lord Windsor: "Master Windsor, the sea of ​​death is so dangerous, you should persuade His Majesty Allen again, we cannot live without him in Tomorrow City."

"I've tried to persuade him, but it's useless. I can only trust him."

Windsor shook her head, she knew that Allen was a person who made up his mind and would not change easily.

Allen left Tomorrow City, and all the political affairs of the Lionheart Kingdom will be in charge of Windsor and her secretary group.

In order to deal with the upcoming national political affairs, her secretary group has expanded to ten people.

Each new secretary is an ordinary orc that Alan has hypnotized before. Allen has found out that they are all talents that can be used, and Windsor can use them with peace of mind.

"What a big boat!"

"Hey, isn't Sister Windsor on board?"

"Stupid, Sister Windsor is gone, whoever helps manage Tomorrow City, the whole country will be in chaos!"

The voices of the two cat-eared sisters of the Howth family came from their ears. One had black hair and the other had white hair. The two cat ears trembled, and their little faces had incredible expressions. They were obviously shocked by the appearance of the iron-clad ship.

"You two seem to have grown taller again." Windsor stroked the heads of the two cat-eared lolis and found that they were a little taller than last year.

"Have it?"

Ena and Effie happily wagged the cat's tail. The food in Tomorrow City has improved, and they are no longer malnourished, and they all have the basic conditions to grow taller.

"I wonder if brother Alan will find that we have grown taller when he comes back in three months?"

"It doesn't have to be three months, maybe two months. No one can say for sure about ocean expeditions." Windsor hoped that the time would be shorter, because she was afraid that she would not be able to handle complicated national political affairs.

……

The Pioneer went all the way south, and the crew at the stern let down the rope to calculate the speed of the ironclad ship.

The timekeeper looked down at the mechanical pocket watch from time to time, and after an hour, he came to an astonishing conclusion—the speed of twenty knots!
Approximately equal to 37 kilometers per hour.

Now that the boiler room is not fully fired, the speed of the ironclad ship has already surpassed the fastest ship in the Lionheart Kingdom, which is amazing.

The timekeeper was one of the adventurers from South Shore Town, and he had been on fast boats and big ships, but he had never seen such a powerful ship.

About two hours later, the Pioneer had sailed out of the mainland's estuary, and then went left along the coastline to the coastal port of Nan'an Town to replenish the coal resources.

Nan'an Town, Nan'an Administration Office.

In a certain telegraph room of the Administrative Office, the telegraph machine rang, and the needle of the telegraph machine made dots on the paper. There were only two types of dots, one long and the other short, but the intervals were different.

This telegram is a product developed by Tomorrow City, but Nan'an Town has just used this novel product.

It is said that in order to establish this ultra-long telegraph line, more than a dozen small mountain villages were involved in the transfer stations on the way.

After the telegram was shot, the telegraph operator took out a Morse code book, and translated the content of the telegram based on the code book on it.

"Well, it's a telegram from Nitre Town. The content seems to be... ah, His Majesty Allen's ironclad ship has set off!" Halfway through the translation, the telegrapher's little heart beat fast.

His Majesty Allen drove his ironclad ship south!

The telegraph operator was both excited and nervous. He didn't know what Allen looked like, and hoped that he was a wise king.

Another telegraph operator heard the exclamation of his colleagues and hurriedly put down his work.

In fact, he didn't have any work to do. Usually, the frequency of sending telegrams was not high. There was no war. Their job was to send telegrams to Saltpeter Town, and then transfer to Tomorrow City.

They were in charge of the work reports of the politicians. When they were not sending telegrams, they were in a hurry, so they simply took a "Elementary Chemistry Book" and slowly studied by themselves.

"Hoyle, what's in the telegram?"

"His Majesty Allen is heading south on the ironclad ship, and will soon arrive at our South Bank Town." Hoyle shouted excitedly.

"Really, that's really great, I can't wait to see our great His Majesty the King." The colleague also shouted excitedly.

At the enthronement ceremony, not everyone had the opportunity to go to Pigeon Square to see the real face of His Majesty Allen, so many orcs unfortunately could only imagine the real face of the king from the newspaper text description.

After translating the contents of the telegram, Hoyle rushed to the mayor's office to inform the mayor of His Majesty's trip.

The mayor knew yesterday that the ironclad ship would be underwater in the near future. He had already made preparations. After hearing the telegram, he immediately walked out of the government hall and led a group of orcs and townspeople to the port near the sea.

When they arrived at Linhai Port, someone saw a huge steel behemoth slowly rising above the sea level, gradually approaching the port.

"It's an iron boat, what a big boat!"

"Idiot, that's the king's ironclad ship Pioneer, hurry up and line up to meet the king!" The mayor patted his men's heads, and the orcs understood, straightened their neckties and trimmed the wrinkled corners of their clothes with their hands Clean up the dust on the shoe surface.

After a few more minutes, the appearance of the ironclad ship became more and more real, and the cheers of the orcs became more enthusiastic.

"For tomorrow's sake, this is simply a miracle of sailing!"

　Uh, I should take some time to make a map, and I will do it tomorrow.
