Article 373 Commencement of construction
As a cross-era steam ironclad ship, his preparations are naturally not small, and he is destined to hide from the Emerald City, which has always maintained close communication with Red Leaf City.
When it was confirmed that preparations for the construction of the steam ironclad had begun, the Church of Waujin immediately expressed its willingness to support it.
On the same day, Di Liya passed the plan to make a large low-interest loan to Morey again, this shipyard that did not even have a good name, instantly raised 600,000 gold coins, if it weren't for Morey's reluctance to accept the Deep Water Bay area of the Emerald City as a gift from Lord Shangjin, I am afraid that even the shipyard site would be available now.
Shangjin even expressed his hope that after the official completion of the steam ironclad, he would invite Morey to visit the holy city of the Waujin Church.
According to Morey's instructions, Mark has long included the scope of the trail to include the surrounding fishing villages.
An ice-free port that maintains temperatures above zero all year round came into Morey's sight.
Reefs and rocky reefs lead to the Black Sea with only a narrow waterway, so while the half-moon-shaped cliff is no smaller than the Emerald City's maritime trading port, it can still only serve as a docking point for nearby fishermen to escape typhoons.
The sea cliff has a half-exposed cave that is revealed at low tide, and the area inside is quite large, and the ground is relatively flat. If it weren't for the fact that they had to get wet every time they came in, and it was impractical to dig a passage through the thick cliffs, these typhoon-stricken fishermen wouldn't mind relocating their families here.
Naturally, Morey took a fancy to this treasure land, and the dense reef was nothing to him.
Whether it's Paul the Octopus, the Black Pearl or simply blasting it with depth charges, Morey has too many ways to carve out the waterways the way he wants.
I didn't plan to let go of that spacious cave myself, is there a better shipyard than this? With the dwarves, the master builders of underground towns, it is not easy to transform the large factory of their own karst caves.
When the time comes, blow up a big hole and get in and out of the boat.
With such a secluded cliff, and a Paul at the door, there is all secrecy and security.
......
Red Leaf Castle, the castle lord's mansion.
During this time, there was a charming woman in the city lord's mansion.
It's not that the chief manager of Corey is immortal for Morena's concubine, and he has found a beautiful woman to continue the incense for Ire's lineage.
Instead, Morey personally agreed, and the woman stayed here.
Because of his previous contribution to the coming-of-age ceremony and the battle against Greyface, coupled with the master-servant contract endorsed by the Blood Moon, Morey allowed Yeselle's request to stay in the Overworld for a long time.
It's just that Morey and her have three chapters of the law, and they can't seduce their subordinates for no reason, especially the Balta, who is known for his humanoid self-propelled artillery.
The succubus is naturally full of promises.
Yeselle had now accepted her fate of being tied to the ship of Morey, but as a qualified succubus, how could she give up the great cause of tempting her master to fall into darkness?
Not to mention that it will make their relationship closer, just skewing a person's side will bring her enough strength boost.
She had been cautiously probing Morey's bottom line before, and it wasn't until today that she decided on the entry point.
If it is a succubus on the side, it may directly use its own appearance, at most with the [Temptation Technique], it can easily break through the opponent's mental defense and turn it into a minister under his skirt.
But Morey's will is definitely tenacious, coupled with the blood moon in Morey's soul sea, panic is like a bright moon, all soul hints and charm skills are ineffective, and as her own camp has begun to change imperceptibly after staying in the main world for a long time, there is not much time left for her.
Since her direct seduction could not be directly effective, Yeselle decided to adopt a roundabout tactic after many days of observation and speculation.
She learned that there were only two candidates for the future hostess of this Red Leaf City, one was the ranger captain Vivien Hayley, who had been leading the caravan for a long time, and the other was Vicky, the mage's assistant who fed her pets in the City Lord's Mansion.
Morey's attitude towards both of them is rather ambiguous, and he has no particular tendencies.
Among his subordinates, except for the Corey butler, the rest of the people didn't seem to have to have Morey's mind to establish the hostess immediately, after all, this Red Leaf City City Lord who had just won the royal capital coming-of-age ceremony and was about to go to the Book of Ten Thousand Laws to study next year was only eighteen years old this year!
This is a major positive for succubi.
Since Morey didn't identify her own candidate, she had room to maneuver.
When the time comes, she will find a way to stir up the two women first and provoke the two women to fight openly and secretly.
As long as the means are concealed properly, Morey, who is trapped by love at that time, will not fall into the abyss.
......
The snow finally fell.
Perhaps because of the particularly cold air this year, it has snowed heavily in many parts of the Far East, and even Momiji Castle in the central region has received heavier snowfall than usual.
It's just that this heavy snow, which seemed to the original residents of Momiji City, was a matter of life and death, but this year it couldn't affect their nerves at all.
Although steam heating pipes have not yet entered every household, some public heating houses with the characteristics of Red Leaf City have been heated.
As long as it's not too crowded, you can completely avoid the cold snap that can freeze you to death by holding a thin blanket and working on a bench at night.
The sparse snowflakes that were trampled on during the day were directly swept aside by the cleaning staff, and walking on the clean road, the residents of Red Leaf City felt a sense of pride in their hearts, looking at this is our city!
When the people of the rest of the city finally poured into Momiji City and were dumbfounded by the sight, they raised their heads even more.
City Hall.
"This heavy snowfall crushed the roofs of a hundred and five residents, injuring a total of 52 people, but no one died!"
Morey nodded and commanded:
"The Municipal Department should seize the time when the snow stops and clear the snow on the roof!"
"In view of the slow speed and efficiency of the current cleaning, I suggest that a mining machine be recruited to assist in the cleanup!"
Morey was a little puzzled by Gode's sudden suggestion.
"Those steam spray guns are used to dig ore, will they cause damage to the house?"
Morey didn't have much objection to the requisition of mining machinery to clear the snow on the roof, and the ore output would be less as long as the people were fine.
But these high-temperature steam that can crack rocks and explode mountains are sure that they are only used to clear the snow, not along with those roofs?
"It's okay, I just recently tested an adjustable nozzle that works well and is perfect for clearing snow from the roof!"
Gou De said with a determined face.
"That's fine, hurry up with time, if it doesn't work, let the goblin spaceship run alone!"
Since it will not cause damage to the houses, Morey naturally has no doubts, but just tells Gou De that he must hurry up, even if it costs a little more.
"This is not needed, the three newly developed iron mines are being built with a batch of mining robots that have not been transported, just transport them directly from the factory!"
Only then did Morey remember that the three iron mines in the mountains and forests he bought had already started construction, and he had recently expanded production, and he had signed an order to let the machinery factory produce mining robots to meet their production.
"Okay, you can do it!"
Morey got up and was about to leave, this time he came mainly to listen to the disposal plan after the heavy snow, so after listening to it, he naturally rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion, as the city lord of Red Leaf City and the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, Lord Baron still has a lot of official business to deal with.
But Gourd unexpectedly blocked the door and stopped him.
