Chapter 72 The Eve(1/2)
The location of Thomas Shipyard is located at the end of the womb of Leviathan Island.
The large factory buildings needed for shipbuilding are built next to the mountain wall.
In that factory, there is a sea current tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the island.
All new ships released at Thomas Shipyard will eventually be launched in this current tunnel and then left Leviathan Island directly.
The new ship that Maud spent a sky-high price of 800 million was no exception.
As soon as he received a notice from Cairns, Maud and his team rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.
Inside the huge factory, a brand new brig was crossed on the bracket.
The size of the new ship is similar to the Sunny in Maud's impression, both of which are medium-sized ships.
The overall color of the hull is mainly blue and blue, with cabins, deck ladders, guardrails, and observation decks at the top of the mast...
There are no shortages of facilities that should be found.
But these facilities were built with Adam, and their strength was guaranteed.
The bow of the ship is a blue dragon designed by Edward in accordance with Mod's requirements with cannons.
Above the Azure Dragon are two hanging pointed poles that extend straight forward, like the dragon horns of the Azure Dragon.
On both sides of the hull are the dragon bodies that wind away from the blue dragon.
Such an image is somewhat similar to the dragon ships of the Revolutionary Army.
Lafayette is not a face control. After seeing the glossy oars at the stern of the new ship, he got on the boat as soon as possible and went to the power chamber where the steam engine was located.
Jia Ya ran to the kitchen.
Instead, Maud and Jim were wandering around the deck.
Keynes followed Maud and was responsible for explaining some hidden practical functions embedded on the ship, which reflected Edward's intention in design.
"Are you satisfied?"
After a few laps, Cairns smiled and looked at Maud who nodded frequently along the way.
"good."
Maud looked up at the house-style lookout at the top of the mast.
Below the lookout, a small loudspeaker is equipped.
This is just one of the detailed designs that demonstrate Edward's care.
Despite this, the cost of more than 800 million is still hard to make people feel that it is worth the money.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The cost of shipbuilding materials for Adam Shan Baoshu is as high as 650 million.
To this end, Maud even asked Fult to use the channels of the Revolutionary Army to investigate the recent price of Adam Baotou in the black market.
That's indeed the price.
After a while, Jia Ya took the lead in coming out of the cabin.
There was a smile on her face, and she was obviously satisfied with the open kitchen with a large area.
A few minutes later, Lafayette also walked out of the cabin, holding a manual for operating and maintenance involving the steam engine and the power chamber.
That was written by Cairns specifically for mechanics before the new ship was built.
Putting aside the price is not bad enough, Thomas Shipyard's professionalism and service are indeed very good.
Everyone gathered on the deck.
Before the new ship is launched, you must naturally have a name first.
Mod was eager to try.
Then, he was isolated.
As for the truth, painter Jim did not participate in the naming, but began to paint the pirate flag.
In addition to hanging the pirate flag on the top of the mast, you must also draw an enlarged version on the sail.
While Jim was painting the flag, Lafayette and Jaya had divergent thinking, first regarded "crag" as a banned word, and then took more than ten ship names.
"Choose one."
Lafayette and Jaya looked at Maud.
Mode sighed softly.
The crow is gone.
Afterwards, Mode picked a favorite name from more than ten ship names - the Underworld.
This name was chosen by Lafayette.
"The underworld, the guide, always feels strange."
After reacting, Maud looked at his navigator with a slightly strange look.
Leading to the underworld...
It's a bit unlucky.
Facing Maud's strange gaze, Lafayette corrected quietly: "My name is Sheriff Devil."
"It won't be there in the future."
Maud patted Lafayette's arm with his backhand, and then ran to see Jim draw the pirate flag.
Looking at Maud's back, Lafayette smiled helplessly.
Under the order of his captain, he might not be sure that he would really change his name in the future.
Anyway, as long as it has nothing to do with "crow", he doesn't care much about things like name.
One hour later.
Jim drew the flag.
Afterwards, Lafayette stayed in the power chamber to study steam power, while Maud and his team went to the street to purchase the furniture and some essentials needed for the new ship.
It was not finished until the evening, and their savings shrank from 50 million to 10 million.
When everything was ready, Mode was not in a hurry to let the Netherworld go into the water.
Faced with Keynes' doubts, Maud found a reason to set the time for the launch day after tomorrow.
Keynes was puzzled about this.
Even if the factory building usage rate will be lost for two days, it can only be done.
Who made Maud a major customer of the shipyard...
At night.
Mode and others did not plan to go back to the hotel, and planned to spend the night on the Netherworld and inspect the environment in the factory.
The most important thing is this sea current tunnel in the factory.
That was their only way out of Leviathan Island.
Considering the plans to be implemented tomorrow, this sea current tunnel for the new ship to launch the waters feels like it is tailor-made for them.
By then, after they finish the work, they can leave directly from this current tunnel, so there is no need to worry about being blocked by people at the entrance and exit of the bay at the whale's mouth.
To be on the safe side, Lafayette even went to the cave to inspect it several times.
late at night.
The city of Dick on Leviathan is as bright as daylight.
On the eve of the final, this daytime city is more lively than ever.
At the Bay Harbour.
A small mast ship arrived quietly.
Bafaro stood on the dock and watched Baby-5 and Rao.g walking down from the boat.
"Oh, you guys are here!"
Bafaro grinned and greeted his two companions who had just got off the boat.
Rao, wearing a blue tights, hunched his waist slightly and sighed: "All the way, my waist is almost broken. I really can't accept my old age."
"Oh my god, when this mission is completed, I can fly back to Dresrosa with you on my back."
Bafaro looked at Rao who was sighing, and then looked at Baby-5, who was wearing a short skirt and a beautiful appearance.
"I won't talk about this anymore, baby-5, lend me five million."
“Eh?”
baby-5 blinked and asked, "When are you going to?"
