Chapter 177: Empty Ship Leaves the Factory
A month later.
Alabastan, on the outskirts of Rainland.
Here is located the most high-tech representative of Alabastan, the Rain Aerostat Factory.
Frankie is the kind of otherworldly scientist that Galen expects to be fundamentally unscientific:
There is no need for a scientific research team at all, and I am not only a senior academician with knowledge across several disciplines, but also an eighth-level technician who can personally operate in the workshop.
Coupled with the addition of some black technology, in just one month, a giant airship was born from scratch from the hands of Frankie's experts.
The spindle-shaped airboat, which is more than 200 meters long, is bathed in the scorching desert sun at this time, and its body is full of dazzling silver light.
At first glance, the airship looks like a great white shark with a mouth full of fangs, silently displaying the power contained in its huge body.
Seeing this behemoth bound by countless ropes, Chairman Galen, aviation meteorologist Nami, Mayor Weiwei of Rainland, and Robin, the chairman's personal secretary, who came to support the ribbon-cutting and first trial of the airship, couldn't help but be shocked.
When the French expert himself first started building the airship, he was very rejected.
Frankie even negotiated with Galen at the beginning that he would let him go back to his hometown in the water capital as a hooligan after building this empty boat.
However, when he really exhausted his efforts to build this empty ship, his attitude was like this:
βsuperοΌβ
Frankie excitedly shows off his perverted and exclusive invented hunting pose in front of the airship.
This one-of-a-kind airboat is the first "boat" that the top boatsmith has built since his reappearance, and it is naturally infused with all of Frankie's heart and passion.
βsuperοΌβ
Behind him, a group of Frankie's younger brothers danced, all of whom were now skilled workers in the construction of airboats.
Frankie was even so happy that he almost couldn't help but be naked.
"Stop! Tie my belt back! β
Galen hurriedly spoke to stop: "Didn't I say it?!" β
"If you dare to play hooligan in front of the female employees in the company, I will directly send you, a pervert, to the public security organs!"
"I have the phone number of Agent CP9!"
Yes, Galen and Kalifa exchanged numbers for this business, of course, for this business, and for sure, should, and perhaps no other impure purpose.
"Hmm..."
Frankie's mood suddenly deteriorated.
Galen wouldn't let him take off his pants in front of female employees, which sounded very lenient and reasonable, but...
The top management of this company is not men, all are beautiful women.
Not even free to take off his pants, Frankie is even more determined to go back to his hometown and become a hooligan.
"Ahem..."
Frankie coughed lightly, and finally regained a few points of the chief engineer's serious appearance.
He pointed to the airship in front of him and introduced to Galen:
"This helium airboat is 245 meters long, 42 meters in diameter, 200,000 cubic meters in volume, and fully loaded with 110 people."
"The whole ship is equipped with 4 sets of Coke internal combustion engines developed exclusively by me, and the full speed is expected to reach a speed of 135 km / h, and the cruising altitude is usually designed at more than 8,000 meters, and the specific data still need to be tested at sea trials."
After listening to Frankie's introduction, Galen was excited in his heart, and praised on the spot:
"Good! It was just perfect! β
"From now on, this airship will be my flagship!"
"So my mission is accomplished?"
Frankie asked tentatively, "Can I take my little brothers home?" β
"Absolutely."
Galen said with a smile: "As soon as the trial work of the airship is over, you will be able to go back with the little brothers!" β
"Aha?"
The exclamations came from Frankie's younger brothers.
These little brothers have just experienced the life of Kochi with an annual salary of one million a month, barely reaching the entry threshold of a certain platform;
But they didn't expect that they would soon fall back into the lower class of ruffians and hooligans at the junction of the city and the sea.
There was a commotion in the crowd, but soon calm returned.
Big Brother Frankie is their big brother after all.
As long as it is the decision of the eldest brother, they must follow it without hesitation.
"Still."
Galen added: "You still have to train enough scientific researchers and skilled workers for me." β
"What?!"
Frankie's expression froze, and he asked angrily, "This is not the same as what was said!" β
"How is it different?"
"You can go back to the City of Seven Waters now! I won't stop you from going back to your hometown. β
Galen spread his hands and said:
"It just so happens that there are a lot of skilled workers over there, and I have decided to move the aerostat research institute to the capital of seven waters."
"In addition, I will also set up a Maritime Railway Research Institute in the capital of seven waters."
"When the company's business grows in the future, it will integrate all the three industries of shipping, railway and aviation in the capital of seven waters, and establish a scientific research institute of the Ministry of Transport."
"When the time comes, you can have a good exchange with your senior brother Iceberg about academic problems and shine together for our company's scientific research work!"
β......β
Frankie was speechless.
He knew that he might not be able to get rid of the fate of working for Galen in a short time.
But it's humane enough to let Frankie return to work in the City of Seven Waters, at least...
He will be able to wear tight underwear and show his two big legs to work casually.
"Okay."
Frankie shook his head helplessly, and said, "Then when this airship trial is passed, I will go back to work in the capital of seven waters." β
"So..."
Frankie's tone instantly became much more powerful, and he asked Galen with great energy:
"What are you going to name the world's first airship?"
"What's the name?"
Galen also immediately became excited.
He instantly remembered the game he played in his childhood, and blurted out: "It's called the Kirov!" β
"When the time comes, the tail of this Kirov airboat will be painted red, and the tip of the kirov will be painted into a large shark head."
Galen happily painted the memories in his mind:
"Then, draw a sickle hammer on the side of the airbag..."
"Ahem..."
"That's not the level I can touch, let's draw the big sword icon of our company."
"No way!"
There was a chorus of disapproval.
"Who is Kirov!"
Nami clasped her hands to her chest and retorted mercilessly, "Why did we use this stranger's name for the first empty ship we built?!" β
"And..."
Weiwei also frowned and objected:
"Painting an airship with a shark's head is too scary."
"That doesn't match Galen's style, does it?"
"yes!"
Robin nodded in agreement: "This is so uncute!" β
"Hmm..."
After being hit by the three companions, Galen was somewhat embarrassed to retract his mouth to explain his aesthetics.
After a moment of silence, Galen had no choice but to ask:
"And what will you name it?"
"This airship can be used to survey nautical charts and observe the weather, so let's call it 'Explorer'!"
Nami suggested.
"The Explorer does sound good, but..."
Galen shook his head helplessly: "This is my armed flagship, not some scientific research airship!" β
"That..."
Vivi enthusiastically participated in the discussion:
"It was born in the desert, so why don't you call it the 'Queen of the Desert'!"
And Frankie also jumped out and brushed up on the sense of presence:
"I built this empty boat, so just use my name..."
"It's called 'General Frankie'!"
Robin glanced at Frankie with undisguised disgust, and smiled as he suggested with his own girlish heart that never grows old:
"I think this empty ship looks round on the outside, and it looks a little cute..."
"The Penguin... How about the name? β
β......β
Galen was speechless about this, and the advice of the remaining three people was not as reliable as Nami's 'Explorer'...
However, the expectant eyes of the four people were cast on Galen at the same time.
Forehead... It's three people.
Frankie's gaze was directly ignored by Galen.
Nami, Vivi and Robin made Galen a little uncertain.
And, somehow ...
It's just a name for the airship...
Galen faintly felt that if he made the wrong choice, he might incur some kind of bloody disaster.
The atmosphere was getting more and more tense, as if the air was about to freeze.
"Ahem..."
Galen avoided the gaze of Nami and the others with some embarrassment, and said:
"Everyone's names are very competitive!"
"Why don't we write these candidate names on a slip of paper and draw one at random, and let God decide?"
"Okay."
Nami glared at Galen disapprovingly.
"Yes."
Wei Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly hid all the anticipation and nervousness back to her eyes.
And Robin just grinned lightly, with an indifferent expression.
Frankie... Once again, Frankie is ignored.
Eventually, everyone wrote the note according to Galen's suggestion, pinched it and put it in a cardboard box and shook it around.
A note was pulled out, and it read:
"The Great Salted Fish."
There was silence.
"What the hell is the Big Salted Fish!"
Galen angrily threw the note on the ground: "Who wrote this?!" β
"Me!"
"I replaced my 'General Franky'."
Frankie stood up with a finger on his face, and explained with a laugh:
"I see that the airbag of this empty boat looks like a fish's body, the propeller looks like a fish's fin, and the tail looks like a fish's tail..."
"It's just right to call it the Big Salted Fish!"
"Nonsense!"
"If it's like a fish, it has to be called the 'Big Salted Fish'?"
"Can't you call it a nice name like 'Big Mackerel' and 'Shooting Fish'?"
Galen's face turned pale, and he said:
"Instead of calling this kind of ghost name, then I might as well choose..."
There was silence again.
Nami, Vivi, and Robin all cast expectant glances at the same time, and Galen is once again in a dilemma.
"Haha..."
Galen laughed dryly, and then said to Frankie with a dead heart:
"Salted fish is salted fish..."
"I think it's good."
