The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure
Chapter 87
When Saigalot, Orville, and Archibald arrived, Xia Zuoyi was watching the big ship Samuel built in the shipyard in Wissas to explore the new continent.
This ship was built with the best materials, with the most comprehensive design... It was bigger and more beautiful than any ship in Xia Zoe's fleet.
When the big curtain covering the hull of the ship was pulled down, all the people present were amazed, and even Xia Zuoyi opened his eyes and sighed - Samuel deserves to be called the youngest shipbuilding genius, really Very capable.
Samuel walked back and forth excitedly.
He walked from the bow to the stern, and then from the stern to the middle of the ship, and gave a detailed introduction to the situation of this big ship.
Then he couldn't help but say to Xia Zuoyi: "Lord, the next thing is to do a thorough inspection again. After there is no problem, you can go to sea for a trial voyage."
Xia Zuoyi nodded: "How long will it take to check everything?"
Samuel stroked his chin and raised his head to predict: "A ship of this size...at least it will take four or five days, and it will be overhauled all day long with the full cooperation of all our personnel."
Xia Zuoyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. After the inspection is over, I will give each of you a bonus."
At this moment, Walker came over to Xia Zuoyi amidst the cheers from the whole factory and said that there was a guest coming.
All three of them came at once, which was a bit exciting.
Xia Zuoyi almost didn't want to go down when she saw them outside the castle when she returned to Parshan.
Finally, he took a deep breath and got out of the carriage, showing a stiff but polite smile: "I thought that after the Anas Empire split, you should all be busy for a long time..."
"But how long has passed, and we actually met again."
Segalot smiled back.
Orville paused and said, "It's been more than two months since you left the empire, it's been a long time..."
Archibald stood a little behind and didn't speak.
There was a long line of carriages behind him.
Vincent and Judit are organizing the servants to move the boxes on the carriage into the castle - these are all gifts from Archibald to Xia Zuoyi.
The box is full of all kinds of things - there are cheap but novel objects, and there are also expensive and exquisite collectibles that are worth handling with care.
After Xia Zuoyi invited them into the castle, she walked up to Archibald and said softly, "You don't have to do this..."
Archibald: "I've got to do something to get your forgiveness."
"You are one of my few friends, little Zoe, don't alienate me."
Xia Zuoyi looked at him: "We are still friends."
"Then please don't call me Mr. Leader, call me Archie."
Xia Zuoyi was silent for a while.
After Archibald's deep lake-green eyes began to flicker, he suddenly bent his eyebrows and said: "I'm a little intimate, I can't say it now, why don't you give me a few days?"
Archibald heard the words, his slightly raised and stiff shoulders slowly relaxed: "Thank you."
Saigalot glanced back indistinctly, narrowing his gilt eyes.
Orville turned his head to look around, and finally found a coal ball protruding from a corner. The big black and fluffy head was really conspicuous.
The snow ball and the egg yolk were about to come out from behind it, but they were stopped after being whined by the coal ball.
Egg Yolk tilted his head, and flicked his long tail behind him.
It looked at the big head of the coal ball and wanted to bite the snow ball's ear and pull it back, but the snow ball dodged it and patted it with its thick and big paws.
The briquette whined resentfully, and pulled back the ear that was biting the egg yolk, and the egg yolk retreated obediently.
Xia Zuoyi thought they were playing some kind of game, so she waved her hand and asked, "Where's Brown Sugar?"
At this time, they had come to the front of the three furry animals.
The briquettes whined toward the window sill behind the corner.
Behind the layers of crimson curtains, a small black head emerged——
Brown Sugar yawned lazily, then walked out a few steps and lay down on the wide window sill under the warm sunshine, her golden eyes were undoubtedly more beautiful.
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but secretly glanced at Saigalot.
Saigalot was looking at Brown Sugar: "It has grown a lot."
"Yes."
"I don't know if it still recognizes me..."
Saying that, Saigalot stretched out the back of his hand in the direction of Brown Sugar, and then remained silent.
After a while, Brown Sugar slowly got up and jumped off the window sill, stepping on the soft blanket with his paw pads and approaching silently...
The tip of Brown Sugar's nose came close to the back of Saigalot's hand and sniffed, and then two pairs of golden eyes looked at each other - Saigalot's expression remained unchanged, and he kept raising his arms, and finally he was gently brushed by Brown Sugar. Passed a loiter.
Orville: "..."
Saigalot retracted his hand with a smile: "It seems that it recognized me."
Xia Zuoyi: "Brown Sugar is very smart."
in the next few days.
Saigalot seemed to be interested in the brown sugar, and he spent a lot of time sharing Xia Zuoyi's experience in raising brown sugar.
So much so that Archibald and Orville's faces were not very good-looking. Of course, the direction of their bad mood lies in two aspects.
Five days later, the ship built by Samuel was finally inspected and will go to Kojit Harbor for trial voyage.
Xia Zuoyi handed over the naming rights of this large ship to Samuel.
Samuel named it Riding the Wind.
The wind and waves on the sea are the most unpredictable, and a little carelessness will cause damage to the ship, or even capsize the ship and be buried in the sea. Samuel hopes that this ship can ride the wind and waves and take them to find a new continent smoothly.
The hull of the Riding Wind is very large, the hull is dark red, and the family crest of Designia is engraved on it.
At the bow of the ship, Samuel asked someone to create a statue of Leanderel, the god of the sea. The handsome sea god holds a trident and has firm eyes, as if guarding the ship and bless the smooth and safe sailing of the Riding Wind.
In order to ensure the speed of Chengfeng, the number of sails has also increased a lot.
One by one, the ropes are straight down from the top of the mast, and the top of the main mast in the middle is flying the flag of the rose of thorns.
The three of Saigalot heard about the sea trial of the Chengfeng, and they couldn't help showing great interest in it.
Xia Zuoyi invited the three of them to visit the harbor as well.
The harbor is the newest construction.
At present, ordinary civilians and slaves in Wissas are prohibited from approaching, including some irrelevant nobles, etc., and they cannot enter and exit at will without a warrant.
Samuel took another look at today's weather conditions: "There are no clouds, the wind is light, and the weather is clear. It's a good weather for going out to sea!"
"Lord, I will ask people to move some heavy objects onto the boat, and the corresponding number of people will go up at the same time..."
"Today is the first time to go to sea for sea trials. After success, I will choose different weather to go to sea for sea trials, such as windy days, rainy days, and wind and waves at sea."
Samuel decided not to go to sea and leave easily without making sufficient preparations, otherwise accidents would occur frequently and there were no timely measures and methods to deal with it, which would be another failure for him.
And if it fails this time...
He can no longer wish for the blessing of the Creator God—is it possible for him to have the experience of being rescued by someone for the second time?
Xia Zuoyi nodded: "Your thinking is correct, Samuel, you should be more cautious about going to sea."
"Now, the first step can begin."
When Samuel heard this, his face was flushed with excitement.
The first step is to remove the cover of Chengfeng, and let Chengfeng slide down the ramp to the sea.
Generally, the ship enters the water directly from the side, so it is considered a success to rely on the stability of the ship itself to re-float on the water surface.
However, the hull of Riding Wind is huge. Before building it, we must first consider the way the ship will be launched into the sea, such as the buoyancy of the ship and the structure of the hull...
After comprehensive consideration, Samuel decided to use the method that the ship enters the water first, and therefore, the big ship is facing the magnificent sea level, waiting for the day when it sets sail.
The workers of the shipyard quickly unloaded the crossbar, and under the adjustment of Samuel, the last block was slowly pulled away by them together——
"Knock" sound.
The sound of friction between the hull and the track sounded, and then it slowly slid towards the sea under the expectant gaze of everyone.
Finally, the moment the bow of the ship touched the sea surface, huge splashes of water splashed everywhere, and the sea water continued to flow to the dry ground. The people standing nearby were soaked with their shoes and trousers, but they were still staring eagerly and nervously at Chengfeng. status of the number.
Samuel couldn't help clenching his fists.
His eyes gradually widened, and when the sea god Leander, who was standing on the bow of the Riding Wind, appeared under the bright sunshine unimpeded in the sea, he finally couldn't help but shouted loudly.
Excitedly, he ran to the front, bathing in the crystal water droplets still splashing around the hull.
"The first step was successful!"
All are excited.
Xia Zuoyi raised his hand to indicate that Samuel could start the second step as soon as possible—loading heavy objects and organizing people to board the ship...
He also plans to go up to the sea to test the voyage himself.
After all, the planned voyage route is not far away. Within the safe range, Chengfeng will follow other ships to observe nearby to prevent timely rescue in case of accident.
Samuel agrees with Xia Zuoyi's decision, the first voyage of the Riding Wind should be experienced by the lord himself, it is absolutely great!
The three of Saigalote also expressed their willingness to go up and have a look.
Xia Zuoyi did not refuse.
After everything is ready, the wind sails and sets sail.
The big ship sailed smoothly and gradually moved away from the port. Obviously, it went smoothly and there is no problem at present.
Samuel was delighted by this.
Xia Zuoyi also thought that this sea trial would end peacefully, and then waited for the weather to change for the second sea trial.
However, his thinking is still somewhat taken for granted.
Just when everyone was looking at the vast and beautiful sea in relaxation, a group of people in workers' uniforms rushed out with weapons in their hands—
Xia Zuoyi was lying alone on the side of the ship watching. Just as Segalot walked away, one person held him quickly with a dagger. Everyone else on the ship was stumbled by this sudden accident, and they couldn't do anything for a while. come over.
The group is clearly well-trained.
They came even more prepared. After all, the latest batch of boatmen was recruited to work in the factory a month ago-this group of people has been lurking until now, looking for a very good time to expose and attack.
Xia Zuoyi was restrained in the opponent's hand without resisting for two rounds.
But there is a very inconspicuous tail ring on the little finger of his left hand—it was one of the gifts brought back from many trips in the three years before 098. With a little fist and force, a sharp needle can emerge from the top of the tail ring.
Then Xia Zuoyi mercilessly stabbed into the wrist of the man who was holding him back.
A large amount of medicine was smeared on the needle of the tail ring.
This kind of drug is not poison, but as long as it gets a little bit, it can make people feel so painful that it is almost as painful as death, and it will gradually fade away after half a day.
Therefore, the man immediately yelled out in pain, and the hand holding Xia Zuoyi was released immediately.
But Xia Zuoyi underestimated the ferocity of this man, and the dagger in his hand stabbed horizontally——
Xia Zuoyi was startled, the side of the ship was behind him, and he could no longer retreat.
And at this moment, there was movement in the system interface, and 098, who had gone on a trip, came back.
"Crash" sounded.
Xia Zuoyi fell into the water without hesitation, and at the same time narrowly dodged the dagger that almost cut his neck open.
On the bottom of the sea, a huge black shadow is gradually rising silently...
This ship was built with the best materials, with the most comprehensive design... It was bigger and more beautiful than any ship in Xia Zoe's fleet.
When the big curtain covering the hull of the ship was pulled down, all the people present were amazed, and even Xia Zuoyi opened his eyes and sighed - Samuel deserves to be called the youngest shipbuilding genius, really Very capable.
