Chapter 67 Tripartite Collection(1/2)
New ship design drawing!
Two weeks later, Lafayette still clearly remembered that Maud made many excessive requests at that time.
In his opinion, with the current shipbuilding level, it is difficult to meet these requirements.
Now when you look at the design drawings, it turns out that most of the requirements have become empty talk.
but……
“Steam engine.”
Lafayette was surprised and stared at the clearly structured steam engine beside the hull design.
His requirements for the new ship are only the following two points.
One is solid, the other is strong mobility.
Unexpectedly, Thomas Shipyard actually made a steam engine.
Compared to Lafayette's surprise, Maud was a little disappointed.
Even though Edward was a veteran ship craftsman, he could only meet a small part of the requirements he made.
Shipmakers like Frankie are an exception after all.
Mod actually wanted to go and find Franky, but he was not Luffy.
Neither background nor protagonist aura.
If you rashly contact Pluto, you will not know how to die.
Although a little disappointed, the design drawings given by Edward are not bad.
After all, Edward was a senior ship craftsman who designed the Mobidick for the Whitebeard Pirates. The carefully designed drawings are not absolutely perfect, but they are also comprehensive.
"Lafayette, Sister Ya, what do you think?"
Mode felt that this design drawing was perfect enough, but he also wanted to hear from his companions' opinions.
Jia Ya squinted her eyes and smiled, "It's pretty good."
She only values the area of the kitchen, and this design drawing has already met her needs.
"Hoho, I have no objection."
Lafayette's eyes contain expectations.
"That's what it's decided."
Maud turned to Keynes who was waiting for the result.
Seeing that Maud and the others had no problem, Keynes reminded him at the right time:
"Steam engines are a machine with a relatively complex internal structure. In order to deal with possible failures and daily maintenance, before the new ship leaves the factory, I suggest you better recruit a qualified mechanic."
“We know.”
Maud nodded.
But in a moment, where can I find a mechanic that will satisfy them?
It’s easy to say that technology is the hard requirement.
Anyway, the main driving force of the new ship is still the conventional bridle sail, and at the stern, there is also a small sail to assist in the direction change.
Therefore, even if the ship's steam engine fails, the new ship will not be unable to move.
Without wasting time on this topic, Maud asked about the progress of shipbuilding.
"Keynes, the problem of design drawings and shipbuilding materials has been solved. With the strength of your shipyard, how long will it take to build a ship?"
"It can be as short as fifteen days, and it can be as long as twenty-five days."
Cairns gave an approximate date without any hesitation.
He didn't even mention the time it took to transport Adam the Treasure Tree to Leviathan Island.
Such a reply is enough to reflect the confidence of Thomas Shipyard.
In fact, in order to serve Maud's sky-high order, after Baotou Adam was in place, the entire Thomas Shipyard's production capacity would be invested.
"Can."
This efficiency made Mode's eyes lighten up and he said seriously: "If the final payment is paid, I will make up for it within a week."
"OK."
Keynes responded with a smile.
Afterwards, Cairns didn't stay long, so he left the latest budget table and left directly.
"Eighty million."
Maud held the budget table that Cairns stayed.
Two weeks ago, he paid 630 million Bailey in advance, but he had to spend 650 million to buy Baotou Adam.
In other words, it is still 170 million Baileys away from the budget amount.
"I'm really willing to give up..."
Jia Ya's expression was complicated.
Eighty million.
What is this concept?
Can she buy 80,000 sheep!
Lafayette took the budget table from Maud, glanced at the budget project a few times, and said: "Whether you can make up for the final payment within a week depends on Bailey's performance."
As he said that, Lafayette looked at Bailey, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking beer.
"Um."
Maud nodded with a smile.
The size of the new ship is similar to the Sonny of the Straw Hat Pirates, but the budget is four times the cost of the Sonny.
He vaguely remembered that Frank spent only 200 million to buy Adam in the black market, but their current purchase price is 650 million yuan, which is three times the cost price alone.
But there is no comparison between the two itself.
If we can get Frank's technical support, Maud would be willing to pay even twice the cost of shipbuilding.
There is still 170 million left...
Fortunately, I happened to meet the beast battle competition in the Kingdom of Ahab.
With a principal of 30 million, as long as the transaction goes smoothly, it should be no problem to get 200 million in one week.
Two days passed.
The qualifiers for the Beast Fighting Competition officially ended.
There are 6211 participants in the four qualifiers.
However, there were only 11 participants who obtained the right to qualify, including Bailey and Bebel.
This also means that in just two days, the huge beast fighting arena strangled at least 6,200 lives.
How many human slaves are there here?
No one cares about this kind of problem.
The third day after the qualifiers ended, the knockout round was 11 to 6.
Maud is ready to make some money from the gambling market.
But the staff of the Colosseum brought unhappy news.
This guy Bailey...has actually taken a bye!
This kind of good thing that should have made any participant feel lucky is a kind of misfortune in Maud and others' eyes.
It’s really better than God’s calculations.
"It's okay, we have a suitable bet."
When things happened suddenly, Mode was very calm.
"who?"
"Bay Bo!"
.........
In a tavern.
Beibo, who was eating and drinking, suddenly sneezes twice.
"It must be that the Bears performed too well in the qualifiers..."
“…”
