Chapter 347: Sea Monarch
Qian Huilin raised his glass with a smile and said, "I also came here for his wine, I heard that the eldest brother's rocket research has also made a breakthrough?" ”
Feng Jingru listened a little proudly: "Yes, our rockets can already be used practically, but the young master has provided me with a lot of good ideas, and I have to be busy again." ”
"The young master always has a lot of wonderful ideas, but he is very practical." Qian Huilin felt the same way.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "By the way, old Qian, haven't you been building merchant ships in the shipyard in Lushun, why did you come to the Wild Continent." ”
Qian Huilin glanced at Feng Jingru, and the two of them laughed at the same time: "Young master, I came to the Wild Continent this time to get you a gift. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "Why do you want to give me a gift?" Have you learned to be a sycophant too? ”
The two of them listened to Fang Xiaoyu's words, and there was another burst of laughter, and Feng Jingru explained: "Young Master, think about when it will be a few months away. ”
Fang Xiaoyu was a little puzzled and said, "In a few months?" When can it be. ”
Qian Huilin said: "Young master, it will be your thirtieth birthday in a few months, and you will stand at thirty, so the high-level management of our entire Chinese consortium decided to give you a gift after a meeting and discussion, and I came to the Wild Continent this time to make a gift for you." ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled dumbly and said, "Am I thirty years old?" Life flies so fast, I didn't expect that I started my business at the age of thirteen, and seventeen years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”
Feng Jingru said with emotion: "Seventeen years, who would have thought that you, the young master who started with only one farm, could turn the entire world upside down in seventeen years. ”
Qian Huilin also said: "Yes, looking back on these years, I really feel a little incredible, I think that if it wasn't for the Wu family brothers who stole and sold cement, we wouldn't know the young master, and we wouldn't have today's achievements and status." ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Okay, you don't have to sigh, let's talk about the gift for me first, I can't wait to know what Lu Dao is." ”
Qian Huilin smiled and drank all the wine in the cup and said, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, if you want to know the Dao, the young master will go with me tomorrow morning to see it." ”
"You're always so appetizing." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and pointed at Qian Huilin, and the three of them laughed at the same time.
The next morning, Qian Huilin really drove with Fang Xiaoyu to the shipyard in Moore Harbor. When Fang Xiaoyu walked into the dock zero, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
It was a tall and mighty ship, at least tens of thousands of tons, and its distinctive towering superstructure made Fang Xiaoyu recognize it at a glance: "Luxury cruise ship? ”
Qian Huilin nodded and said: "That's right, but to be exact, we are not just to build a luxury cruise ship for you, but more importantly, we need to test whether our shipyard can build a ship with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons, that is to say, this cruise ship is a verification ship." ”
Fang Xiaoyu asked, "How is the effect?" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Qian Huilin's mouth: "In order to build this ship, we gathered all the senior ship designers in the whole empire, and it took fifteen months to finalize the drawings after working together. ”
"Just now you said a verification ship of more than 100,000 tons? So how big is the ship? Fang Xiaoyu said with some doubts.
Qian Huilin said: "We plan to call this cruise ship the Sea Monarch, with a length of 290 meters, a displacement of 14,000 tons, and two decks of 2,000 square meters, which can accommodate 3,780 passengers and more than 1,000 crew members at the same time. The facilities on board the cruise ship are very sophisticated and luxurious, and we have done it with the help of dozens of Nantes Empire designers, and many of the facilities in it are referencing the 15,000-ton luxury cruise ship 'Royal Princess' of the Nantes Imperial Family. ”
Qian Huilin proudly introduced his work: "This cruise ship has 1,500 rooms, including 58 suites with viewing terraces, in addition to five restaurants, thirteen luxury bars, five jacuzzi and four swimming pools, two of which also use the latest new tempered glass produced in the Wild Continent to build sliding glass roofs. ”
Qian Huilin paused for a moment and explained: "Of course, we have also fully considered safety, this cruise ship not only has very powerful armor, but also has a speed of twenty-three knots, in addition to the lower part of the foredeck there is a 280 mm triple turret that can be lifted, there are also a lot of hidden secondary guns on the side of the ship, and the ship is also in accordance with the shipborne radar that has just been finalized, which should be enough to protect the safety of this cruise ship." If it is not surrounded by a large fleet, it is absolutely safe. ”
Fang Xiaoyu looked at this huge luxury ship in surprise, and was speechless, obediently, this big guy is bigger than the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the US military.
Surprised to surprised, Fang Xiaoyu is still very happy to accept such a perfect gift, and Fang Xiaoyu, who is very excited, will definitely not take a warship back like when he came, but will take this luxury giant ship that has just been launched and feel the luxury taste of local tyrants.
Of course, with enough space, Fang Xiaoyu's number of guards has also increased to two thousand, in addition to the five hundred internal guard divisions who originally protected him, and the Wild Leopard Regiment that protected him last time to the capital.
"It's so comfortable." Fang Xiaoyu was lying comfortably on the air mattress in the swimming pool, and the roof above his head was completely made of tempered glass, that feeling simply gave Fang Xiaoyu a feeling of being in heaven, no wonder rich people love to travel around on luxury cruise ships, this is really cool.
Just when Fang Xiaoyu was comfortably enjoying life, the siren on the ship suddenly sounded, and the personal guard immediately came to the pool and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an unknown fleet approaching us. ”
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned when he heard this, he was very disgusted by these guys who disturbed his Yaxing: "What sea area have we reached now?" ”
The guard reported, "Your Majesty, we just entered the Coral Sea half an hour ago. ”
"Coral Sea?" Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and muttered, "This is not the territory of New Guinea? Did you run into their fleet? ”
Fang Xiaoyu guessed half right, the fleet that came was indeed the warships of New Guinea, but they were irregular naval fleets.
"Your Excellency, I found a very large ship, which looks like it is civilian." Abadis was sitting in a chair in the captain's room, his eyes red and panting, and he gulped the strong vodka in his hand. When he heard the report from his men, he jumped to his feet.
