"Lord Allen, the steam turbine for the sea ship has been successfully installed on the ship!"

"Okay, I see."

The orcs left the office, and the orcs in the room raised their curious tails and looked at Allen.

Windsor and the others knew that Allen's next plan was not to expand into neighboring countries, but to explore the ocean and uncover the mystery of the mysterious ruins.

Tomorrow City has built a steam-powered ship this time, which uses a state-of-the-art steam turbine and a propeller structure, not a two-wheeled steamer.

The hull is also constructed of steel, and a large amount of steel is supplied in full by the Third Steel Mill in Tomorrow City.

The newly built shipyard in Tomorrow City, where the shipbuilding is located, has a large population and countless employees are busy in the dock, and the steel ship has been built from scratch and is close to completion.

With the successful installation of the steam turbines, the shipyard employees began to paint the steel ships to prevent corrosion.

That night, the contents of tomorrow's evening evening began to predict that the sea ship was nearing completion.

The orcs were interested in Tomorrowland's new sea ships, which had been sailboats of great sail and powered by nature's wind power, or human pulp, and had never been powered by steam engines.

Alan knew that Windsor and other orcs were curious, and when he got off work in the evening, Alan suggested, "Go see the ship?" ”

"Is it okay, it's past six o'clock in the evening." Windsor glanced at the physical clock hanging in the Executive Hall, which pointed to 6:37.

"Don't forget, now there are electric lights at night, and the factory does not turn off the lights at night, working in three shifts and working all day, and the shipyard is no exception." Alan laughed.

Before the beginning of the electric era, no factory could work 24 hours a day.

But with electric lights, Allen can arrange three shifts, each with a crew responsible for eight hours, keeping the factory floor working at all times.

Eight hours of work was not hard work for the orcs, and in the old days of farming, more than twelve hours were worked from morning to night, and eight hours was considered light.

"Let's go, take the train and watch the boat." Alan went downstairs, picked up the orcs from the military department, and went to the train station together.

In a few moments, the train roared out, and the roar resounded through Tomorrow City.

When the train started, the electric lights of Tomorrow City were already lit, and Alan stood at the locomotive and looked at the darkness of Tomorrow City that was dispelled by the electric lights, and the street lamps in every street were glowed with electricity.

Windsor and the other orcs stood in the carriage and looked outside, witnessing the lights lighting up the night, as if they saw a sleepless beast open its eyes in the night.

"Tomorrow City, it's so beautiful."

"It's even more beautiful to see the night view of Tomorrow City from the mountains." Alan returned to the carriage and said with a smile.

Windsor and the others looked expectant, but now was not the time to go up the mountain to see the night view.

The speed of the train was fast, and their train was not far from the port, reaching the end in less than ten minutes.

The few people didn't talk for a long time, and they felt that they just chatted for a while, talking about the recent training of the navy at sea, and they arrived at the station without saying enough words.

After Alan got off the train, the shipyard's orc Buckle personally received Allen, full of enthusiasm, "Lord Allen, our ship will be built soon, and it is expected that you can go down to the river to test the water the day before your enthronement ceremony." ”

The river that Baker is talking about is the Grand Canal, which originates from the snow-capped mountains of the 100,000 mountains, flows through Altair Town-Tomorrow City-Saltpeter Town, and finally flows to the Sea of Death.

The river is about 200 to 500 meters wide, with the shallowest part of the channel being 8 meters and the maximum depth being 15 meters.

Alan walked for a few more minutes to reach the shipyard, which was built very high, hollowed out of the earth, sealed the water inlet, and the hull was built indoors.

Tomorrow City uses most of the resources to build ships for them, the wooden ships are in charge of the shipyard in Southbank Town, and the steel ships are manufactured in Tomorrow's Shipyard, one is to save the cost of steel transportation, and the other is to facilitate Allen's supervision and guidance, after all, he doesn't have time to run Southbank Town every day to guide others to build steamships.

After the steam shipyard built this steamship, it could also absorb the orders of merchants in the future, collect more wealth, build more steamships, shorten the time of commercial trade, and promote the economy of towns and villages along the river.

Just as they were thinking about it, Alan and the others crossed the guard line and entered the shipyard, and the space suddenly opened up.

The height of this place is very high, and the first time Ivan stepped into the shipyard, his eyes were stopped by the steel giant ship in the middle of the dry dock.

It is made entirely of steel, and the surface of the steel wall has a flat silver color, but there are thin black lines on it, which looks very unsightly.

At this moment, there are several steel shelves under the hull, and the orcs walk around on the shelves, holding paint buckets in their hands, and using small brushes to paint the hull of the giant steel ship, helping it to add corrosion-resistant paint.

It was the first time Ivan had seen such a large hull, still all steel, and his eyes were bright.

"If those adventurers see this ship, they will be mad with excitement." Ivan's eyes were shining, and he stared at the hull for a long time.

The hull is being painted, and there is also an orc-built command room on the deck, which is welding on the steel plates with electric welding guns.

Alan and the others went up to the deck to inspect, Ivan happened to see the welders doing welding work, the orcs fixed the steel plates, the workers pulled a long wire, the head of the welding gun slowly cut through the junction of the two steel plates, the steel seam melted, and after cooling, it was re-cured, leaving black scorch marks.

Ivan watched the welder weld quietly, and when he finished welding the two steel plates, he tapped the steel plates with his fingers, and there was a crisp sound, listening to the sound they were connected together.

"That's how the black lines on the hull are made?" Ivan asked suddenly.

The welder knew that the city lord was next to him, and said respectfully: "Yes, the joints of the steel are all welded by electric welding. ”

Electric welding is a method that the orcs of Tomorrow City can't think of, at least he can't think of.

The shipyard director who followed him proudly said: "This method is a unique technology of Lord Allen, and the shipbuilders did not have electricity and did not have this method before. ”

Ivan looked at Allen, wondering what Allen's expression was like now.

Alan didn't look at the welding process, earlier when electricity was born, the welding gun was already in the manufacturing process, and after he was born, he also made a special trip to teach, and the orcs learned it as soon as they learned it.

In Allen's view, the welding gun is easy to use, but due to material limitations, there is no need for more powerful welding tools, and the current welding speed is very slow, requiring three groups of welders to take turns welding.

Allen's focus was on the turbine room, and after Ivan and the others finished watching the process of electric coal, they walked off the deck and came to the boiler room.

Allen walked to the boiler room, touched the boiler wall, and used the identification technique on the closed engine room, and got a qualified appraisal result.

"Lord Allen, is there a problem?" The orc factory director asked cautiously.

"No problem, Ivan, you can recall those navy and let them see the finished product." Alan let go of the appraisal's hand.
