Chapter 228: The Tracks of the Sea Train

The capital of the seven waters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Esbagu and Ajin greeted the members of the expedition of the Kingdom of Navia on the dock, although it was the first time for both sides to meet, Edmund and several other cadres had already seen Asbagu's photo, so they recognized him as soon as they met, and under the guidance of Akin, the two sides introduced each other, and then walked to Tom's studio located outside the city.

The young students and other ordinary crew members were amazed by the strange architecture and geography of the City of Seven Waters, while at the front of the procession, Edmund, Chloe, Harden, Selkirk, Jesus Bu and others gathered around Akin and Esbagu, talking.

Esbagu's face was scarred, obviously not a work injury caused in the shipyard, it looked more like a brawl, Edmund was a rectum, and asked if he had doubts, after all, the young man in front of him who looked slender and even a little thin was one of the inventors of William Nianzi's sea train, a great shipbuilder.

After the fish-man Tom died, Carter. With Fram's fate unknown, Edmund was also worried about what happened to Esbagu, after all, the Great Voyage was not peaceful.

Esbagu paused for a moment when he heard Edmund's question, then smiled wryly and touched the scars on his face to tell the truth of the matter.

Esbagu did not have the experience of running a shipyard by himself, and he wanted to understand the root cause of the city's troubles in the capital of the Seven Waters, so like William at the beginning, after Esbagu entered the city, he also chose to study and investigate under his peers to accumulate experience for his "entrepreneurship".

With his outstanding shipbuilding skills and strong personality, Esbagu easily got a job in a shipyard even when the overall form of the shipbuilding industry was not good.

And soon, with his brain and skill, he grabbed a lot of orders for his shipyard in an increasingly scarce customer environment.

Unexpectedly, this led to Aisbagu being targeted by people in other shipyards, in the economic downturn, every order, for the shipyard staff of the capital of seven waters, is the key to supporting their families and maintaining survival, over the years, because of this problem, many shipyards from the boss to the workers, have been fighting.

Esbagu really didn't know much about the environment in the city, so he was stopped and beaten by the workers of the competing shipyard once he was not careful, but fortunately he ran away in time and was not seriously injured.

Since then, Esbagu has been as careful as possible, but after delaying this experience, he has also discovered a major problem with the city.

The extinction of trade routes, the reduction of orders, and the rise in resource prices caused by the era of pirates are all external elements that have led to the city's decay, while the internal elements are the vicious competition that has gradually begun in the many shipyards on the island in order to grab the already small number of orders.

In order to grab orders and maintain survival, various shipyards keep lowering prices, squeezing the already small profits, and often fighting, resulting in a decline in the city's security.

The expedition led by Edmund and others brought valuable funds and manpower to Asbagu, and those students were young people with work experience in the shipyard, strong and energetic, although the shipbuilding technology in the East China Sea was not as good as that of the capital of seven waters, but Espagu believed that with his own leadership, the skills of these people would only get better and better.

"I'm going to set up a shipyard, after the collapse of No. 4 shipyard, no one has taken over, we can buy it with a small amount of money, we are now compared with other shipyards in the city, the biggest advantage is that there is abundant funds at present, so I am ready to rely on low-price competition and other means to crush other competitors in the city and find a way to buy them." Asbagu seemed to be explaining to Edmund and others, and he was talking about his thoughts little by little, and he was indeed explaining, after all, according to his conception, the early stage was equivalent to burning money to do a loss-making business, and the money was brought by Edmund and others, of course he had to convince the other party.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Esbagu has seen the competitive atmosphere between the shipyards in the city today, and he often fights fiercely, and he also needs the protection of Edmund and others to do so.

Edmond, Chloe and the others glanced at each other, and did not answer immediately, but Ah Jin said expressionlessly: "Esbagu, I told you that we will not ask too much for how to use this money. ”

Chloe also reacted quickly, pushed his glasses, and smiled: "Mr. Esbagu, Lord William admires your talent, the initial funds are his personal investment in you, how you use it, is your own problem, don't worry about us opposing your reasonable proposal, and during the period on this island, we will try to cooperate with your work, but ......." ”

Selkirk on the side said, "However, after having our own shipyard, we want you to build us a ship first." ”

Esbagu looked a little puzzled: "Of course there is no problem, but as far as I observe your ships moored on the dock, although some of the technology and design of your shipyard in the East China Sea still look a little rough, I can also see that there are many excellent inspirations and ideas on it, and there is really no need to go to the capital of the seven waters to build ships, not to mention that even if it is built, it is difficult for ordinary ships to bring back to the East China Sea if there is no wind belt and red soil continent to block it." ”

"No, the ship we want can only be built in the City of the Seven Waters, or rather, with the help of the inventor of the sea train," Edmund said word by word, looking at Esbagu, "and you don't have to worry about how the ship will return to the East China Sea, because what we want to build is a steamship that can pass through windless zones." ”

"So you have taken a fancy to the steam engine of the sea train," Esbagu smiled, but then persuaded, "With all due respect, I'm afraid you think of the windless belt as simple, the most dangerous place there is not only the absence of wind, but also all kinds of huge sea kings, even if the wind problem is solved by steam power, the existence of sea kings is still an unavoidable problem." ”

Harden let out a hoarse laugh, as if what Esbagu was saying was funny.

In Eisbagu's puzzled gaze, Chloe explained: "The problem of steam power, although it is not yet mature, our shipyards in the East China Sea actually have eyebrows, and what we really fancy and want to further apply to the ship is the sonic technology of the sea train track. ”

Esbagu didn't react at first, but then, as if he had suddenly thought of something terrible, he looked surprised.
