"There's something important to announce today, so please turn your attention to me!"

When everyone heard Nicole say this, the buzz in the conference room immediately decreased by more than half, and everyone's expressions began to become more solemn, except for the table where there were a few bear children, which was still a little noisy, everyone was quietly looking at Nicole, waiting for her next step.

However, at this time, Nicole dodged to the side, allowing Anna to appear at the door, only to see the handsome man with a plastic folder under his arm, which contained a thick stack of papers, and seemed to walk in a little dusty, and at this time there was a sparse greeting from the crowd.

Usually Anna always comes and goes in a hurry, and when she meets someone who greets her, she just nods her head in response, and this time is no exception.

Anna followed the eyes of the group and walked to a corner of the dining room, where there was a bar for drinks and wine, and it was obvious that he found it appropriate to use it as a lectern.

The folders were spread out on the bar, Anna picked up the top piece of paper, looked up at the venue, and found that people's eyes were focused on the paper in his hand, so she raised her hand, and said with a certain reserved and mysterious smile on her face:

"That's the list of aid for you."

Anna paused after speaking, and waited for a few adults on the opposite side to whisper to the tables of high school students and children, and when the noise in the restaurant finally stopped, she patted the thick folder on the bar again, and said in a calm tone:

"Well, there are a lot of assistance projects that need to be introduced to you today, and since I have already introduced you to the situation of this building yesterday, and you have already visited the cave, I will not say much about this building and the facilities and equipment in the building, so ...... I'll start with the two boats on the dock. ”

As she spoke, Anna found a page in the folder, looked up at everyone, and said:

"First of all, it's about the steam-powered steamship Nicole, which, as you know, is an old one, an improvised merchant ship from the Second World War of your time. By the way, the name Freedom Wheel is a good one, although in those days and times, human society was still a long way from true freedom...... Okay, I'm not going to digress.

Well, the first thing to say is that I understand your doubts, that is, why not give you a more advanced, faster and larger displacement ship? I've received several private and public questions about this issue, so I'm here to respond to them in one round.

The standard answer is: based on what we have determined to be your technical capabilities, I believe that this boat is a very suitable fit for you, both in terms of overall technical level and from the point of view of operation and handling.

For you, adaptability and practicality are decisive factors when we consider our assistance programs.

Although this ship is not advanced in your eyes, there is no doubt that this giant ship made of steel is enough to be an artifact for you to travel through the post-era, a solid shelter for you, and a great weapon of destruction. So we think that for that era, the Nicole was strong enough.

Moreover, steam-powered ships of this type such as the Liberty Wheel are not too complicated to drive and maintain, and the equipment is easy to maintain, in short, our thinking is this, given the level of science and technology and social and economic development of that era, we will not provide you with too delicate tools, weapons and industrial equipment.

But please rest assured, according to my professional judgment, the reliability of this freewheel is very good, the power system and overall technology are also very mature, and it is relatively easy to maintain, even in the era after you crossed, you still have certain conditions to maintain and repair this boat.

Needless to say, this is a huge advantage for you, and the overall skill of the Nicole is very mature, so as long as you have all the performance and data of this ship, it will be relatively easy to replicate her.

I think that if you can continue to climb the technology, you will probably be able to replicate a ship like the Nicole in your lifetime. Of course, this will take a long and painstaking effort.

When it comes to the driving and maintenance of the ship, Captain Gu and First Officer Li among you are fully qualified to become the pilots and managers of this ship.

Another point is also very important to you, because the operation of this boat is relatively simple, not only Captain Gu and they can get started quickly, but the other leaders among you can also control this boat as long as they pass serious training!

Nicole's second advantage is fuel, which is not very demanding, including all types of coal, heavy oil and even wood, which can be easily found in the new world you are going to.

Also, the ship itself has been transformed and strengthened in many aspects, especially in terms of power system, taking into account everyone's physical strength, I have transformed the boiler system on the ship, increased the fuel semi-automatic filling machine, and also improved the furnace, and improved the thermal efficiency of the boiler, these improved technologies hope you can learn in the future, after all, I am from 60,000 years later, although these improvements are small technical details, but undoubtedly beyond your time, I hope you can eventually master it, to know what it is and why it is, It can be regarded as a small gift from me to you, and it is not in vain that I travel through time and space to this era.

In addition, I have also optimized the working conditions in the engine room as much as possible, expanded the space, and installed a seawater circulation cooling system to make the temperature in the engine room less unbearable, so that your labor intensity has been much lighter than that of the crew of the Second World War era.

However, it should be said that the engine room is still a relatively difficult job.

In addition, I used an extremely advanced anti-corrosion coating to protect the surface of the ship's hull, which not only resists the rust of the steel plates for a long time, especially the joints, but also permanently removes and prevents the attachment and erosion of sea creatures such as barnacles and seawater to the bottom of the ship, which can be said to have made the Nicole even more powerful.

In my opinion, these precautions are necessary for you, for for a long time after your crossing, you simply could not afford to build a dock and slipway capable of repairing the ship.

Well, when it comes to the dockyard, some of you have made a lot of demands on me, but here I can only regret to tell you that there is nothing I can do about it this time, I can't bring a whole giant slipway to the new world, not even a gantry crane.

Again, there is a limit to the energy of the exchange of matter in different time and space, otherwise, we are likely to cause a big bang, and unlike you think, although the exchange of matter in time and space will not destroy this time and space, it is very likely to destroy the other time and space you have traveled through.

Come to think of it, when you travel back in time and find that time has returned to the beginning of the universe, it will really be over......

Okay, so I won't scare you, as long as you control the amount of matter exchanged between time and space, the above situation will not happen. OK！
