Chapter 643: Opportunity
Although the fact that there is no ship to go to sea is really annoying, Zhou Zhensheng thinks that it is better to go to the big port where the ship is moored first to have a look.
Overall, Zhou's luck was not bad. Although the dwarves on the dock didn't even plan to sell the wooden boat to Zhou Xuanju, they finally showed him a clear way.
"Luck is not bad, in five days it will be the turn of the shipbuilding ceremony that is rare in ten years. Such a grand event, even with the grudge-holding character of the dwarf, will not do anything to drive away the contestants. ”
As Zhou said, although the dwarves here are very vindictive, they will not refuse the contestants. As long as the time comes, Zhou will destroy them and participate in the competition, and it will not be a problem to take away the ship at that time.
Strictly speaking, the shipbuilding ceremony here is for self-entertainment. As a place of suffering, there is little recreation here all year round. Dwarves are workaholics, but they are not robots, and they need rest and relaxation. And this shipbuilding ceremony is one of the grand celebrations for the dwarves to relax here.
"Yes, they also set aside a temporary station for us to rest!"
Mo Mo began to sarcastically in an unkind tone. She is young, but she is not stupid. He knew that the dwarves in charge of the celebration here seemed to be doing a fair thing, but it was already precious for them to have a place to be repaired.
"Anyway, we don't have to look around for a place to live, and we don't have to live outside the port. Momo, you have to learn to be grateful! ”
For Zhou's daily top cow, Mo Mo didn't want to go back if she didn't want to.
However, after Zhou Zhensheng finished the previous sentence, he suddenly changed his words and said: "In order to repay their hospitality, we don't take the first slap in their face, it's simply unreasonable!" ”
Sure enough, as this sentence was spoken, Mo Mo choked back the words that she was about to blurt out.
"Hmph, you have a point. However, are you sure that Simon, a little old man, can get the first place? ”
As Zhou's kindred, Simon was innocently attacked by Mo Mo's mouth cannon. Looking at Simon's eyes of 'you kid caused trouble, you kid will solve it by himself', Zhou Zhan scolded Mo Mo speechlessly: "How do you speak?" Do you still respect the old? You don't respect the elderly, but don't blame me for not being young! ”
After speaking, Zhou Zhishu raised his palm, and his eyes looked at Mo Mo's ass with ill will.
"You, you stinky rascal!"
Regarding the words that Mo Mo popped up in annoyance, Zhou Zhishu directly ignored it: "Although you said the facts, you won't say it in private? Do you know how sad it was for Simon to say it to his face! ”
Seeing Zhou Xuan's character like a child, everyone looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly. Even Simon, who was the party concerned, helplessly pointed at Zhou Zhi, sighed and said: "It's more true than your kid, Lao Tzu has to live ten years less." ”
Zhou's gag finally settled Simon. Although Simon will not be angry because Mo Mo said that he is a little old man, as a scientific researcher, Simon is most taboo to be said that he is inferior to others in this field.
Glaring at Mo Mo fiercely, Zhou Xuanshu began to lead the team to the designated station.
On the way there, Zhou heard a lot of useful information.
"It seems that we arrived at a good enough time to send a representative from Hearthstone, an important town for the dwarves that have had little contact for thousands of years. It seems that while we are away, something unknown has happened in this world. ”
"It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise they'd come in this informal way?"
It was Anglis, who spoke, and after a period of experience, he had formed his own theory of his profession.
"That's right, Big Brother Angliss is right. My lord, I think it should be that their dwarven lord clan feels a sense of crisis and wants to use this method to bridge the rift with this part of the dwarves. ”
The subtext of Allen's words can be heard by everyone, that is, he thinks that the dwarves should encounter some signs of crisis, but the threat to them is not so high, so he chooses to test the reaction of this outcast dwarf in this way.
"It seems that the dwarves here really have incredible skills. Otherwise, with the stubborn character of the dwarf, he would not have done such a thing! ”
In the midst of everyone's words, Zhou Xuanshu quickly found the destination according to the address given by the dwarf in charge of the celebration.
Looking at the barren but very clean clearing, Zhou Zhenshu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's finally suitable for us to station." Alan, you and Angliss have arranged for them to be stationed, and I have something to talk to Simon. ”
Soon after, Zhou talked to Simon and the accompanying goblin researchers about future shipbuilding plans.
"Simon, I prefer a boat made of special materials to a boat made of special materials rather than an iron ship or a wooden boat."
Facing Simon's 'you keep talking' look, Zhou Zhishu organized his words a little and said: "Although the wooden boat is light, in this icy and snowy environment, it will be damaged if you are not careful. If it is damaged on the surface of the sea, it is fine, but if the keel is broken or other parts of the water are damaged, it will be troublesome to repair. ”
"As for the Iron Ship, with our status, it is very difficult to obtain special steel from the dwarves. Instead of building a ship that is easily deformed from substandard steel, it is better to switch to a ship made of special materials. Personally, I'm more bullish on biomaterials for building ships. ”
As a layman, the first few of Zhou's injuries can only be considered decent, but the last one has aroused Simon's interest.
"Simon, how about building a ship using sea monsters as materials?"
Regarding Zhou's whimsy, Simon shook his head, and he didn't hit him too much, and said honestly: "Although the materials taken from the sea monster may be better than ordinary wooden ships and iron ships, the cost performance will not be much higher. ”
"No, no, no, I don't mean to build a ship with the materials that have been stripped from the dead sea monsters, but to use a special treatment method to make the sea monsters brain-dead and use their already active bodies to build ships."
Zhou's proposal undoubtedly made Simon's heart itch. His proposal wants to be realized, although it is not easy, but if it is really made. The ship is of great value and significance to them.
"Let me think about it, think about it. Although this thing can be made theoretically, I still have to count out the difficulties that may be encountered in practice. Otherwise, when the time comes, when the time comes, you won't be able to build it without making people laugh at it! ”
Hearing this, Zhou didn't know that Simon was tempted. He smiled softly, leaving Simon and his disciples with an independent space to think.
