Chapter 12 Outlander Societies
"Jimo Port?" Sir Gardner is very familiar with the situation of the world's ports, and the information about Jimo Port soon appeared in his mind, "The hydrological conditions of Jimo Port are very good, and it is easy to berth large ships, but it is a pity that the transportation is inconvenient and difficult to develop marine trade, but as a military port, it is good, you want to hire excellent ship designers It seems that you want to develop shipbuilding, which is indeed a good idea, but you are looking for the wrong person to recommend ship designers to me, go to Wilson Jr., he will give you a satisfactory answer." ”
Wilson Jr.? This senior brother who has always been a mentor can help me hire a good ship designer?
Gang Zi said goodbye to Sir Gardner with doubts and found Wilson Jr.
No, Wilson Jr. didn't answer Gangzi's question, but asked first, "What rank will Zhonglang be?" I mean compare it to us in the UK. ”
Gangzi thought for a moment and said, "It should be equivalent to a brigadier general." ”
"Wow! I actually have a junior brother who is a general. Little Wilson exclaimed excitedly, "So, aren't the naval battles you told me about again bragging?" ”
Gangzi's face turned dark, it turned out that little Wilson had been listening to his brother talk about his experience of previous naval battles with relish, but in fact, he thought that his brother was talking about ≈ things.
Little Wilson also saw Gangzi's face change, he put his arm around Gangzi's shoulders and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place, where there will be the person you want to find." ”
Looking at Wilson Jr.'s intimacy, and then thinking that this was England, Gangzi's hair shrugged, and then he was pulled out by Wilson Jr. and went out in the carriage of the manor and went to Plymouth City.
Fortunately, the plot that Gangzi imagined did not appear, and Wilson Jr. only took him to the ship designers' guild in Plymouth. In fact, the Ship Designers Guild also has the function of a designer school, starting from the apprenticeship, where all levels of ship designers can learn the corresponding knowledge. And Gangzi did not come here to study because he was apprenticed to Sir Gardner.
However, seeing little Wilson shuttling around here, he must be a frequent visitor here, but he is also a student of Sir Gardner, does little Wilson need to study here?
Soon little Wilson stopped in front of a remote and modest house.
"Welcome. Outland community. Little Wilson laughed self-deprecatingly and pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside was a large ship design room, where more than twenty young people were busy working on the drawings in front of them. When they saw little Wilson come in, they immediately smiled in surprise and ......
"Oh! It's little Wilson, come over here and help me see why there is no place for my bow spinnaker. ”
"Little Wilson, my rudder won't fit in, do you have room for me to shrink the cabin?"
"Little Wilson ......"
“……”
The young men saw Wilson Jr. immediately ask all sorts of questions.
Wilson Jr. was accustomed to this situation, and today he did not answer all kinds of questions first, but pressed his hand to silence everyone: "Today I bring you a friend. I think everyone has wanted to know him for a long time. ”
"Is it Sir Gardner?"
"Oh...... Abul, Ireland, you expect too much from me," said Wilson Jr. with a laugh, "aren't you the one who has always wanted to design the speed-enhanced dhow, my little brother from the big man?" I'll bring him with me today. ”
"Really? Little Wilson! Is it the big guy who humiliated the Plymouth Ship Architects' Guild? Bring him in, and we will cheer for our heroes! ”
Gangzi walked into the design room amid the cheers of everyone, attracting a cheer.
"Great job, big man!"
"Tell those Englishmen to meet and try our strangers!"
What's going on? Aren't these people students of the Plymouth Ship Architects' Guild? How did you see the Plymouth Naval Architects' Guild so happy?
As if seeing Gangzi's question, Wilson Jr. explained to him in a low voice: "None of us are English. So in the ship designer college, we were used to the discrimination of English ship designers, and even the classroom was the most remote corner, so we spontaneously set up our own club, the 'Foreigner's Club', if you want to recruit a ship designer. It was impossible for the English to go to the East, and some of these ship designers, who would not be accepted by the shipyards of England, might be willing to try their luck in the Han Kingdom. ”
I see, no wonder Sir Gardner said that Wilson Jr. had a way, and it turned out that there were so many marginal figures in the Plymouth Ship Designers Guild.
After explaining to Gangzi. Little Wilson said to everyone: "Now I would like to formally introduce to you, the young man next to me is named Gangzi, from the Asian powerhouse. The designer of the speed-enhanced dhow battleship is also the admiral of the Jimo fleet in Qingzhou, the Han Dynasty, with the rank of lieutenant general, which is equivalent to our British brigadier general. ”
"Wow......!"
"Don't be surprised, General Gangzi came here to recruit excellent ship designers for the Jimo Port Shipyard, I think this is an opportunity for everyone, it is better to have a physical shipyard to operate, than you draw a drawing and don't know what it will look like to cause the ship."
Someone retorted: "But there is East Asia, a recognized ship desert, and the ship designers there can only design up to Class 4 warships, where are we going to say goodbye to the ship design masters?" ”
There was also support for Wilson Jr.: "Is it rare that we can stay here and become a master ship designer?" I don't think any of us except for Wilson Jr., who was accepted as a disciple by Sir Gardner, could not have advanced to the rank of master ship designer in England, and it might be a good way out to go to Asia, at least we don't have to worry about money. ”
"It's rare for us to work as ship designers just to make money? What is our ideal in setting up the 'Stranger Society', which is to become a master of ship design, to show the English that we outsiders are not stupid than them, are you going to be the ones who break your promises, and you want to go to Asia to be an ostrich? ”
Gradually, the voice that supported little Wilson disappeared.
Little Wilson didn't expect things to turn out like this, he wanted to say sorry to Gangzi, but saw Gangzi striding onto the podium.
"'Outlanders' Society'? You are foreigners in the eyes of the English ship designers, and when I first heard the name of the 'Alien Society', I felt that you were dissatisfied with the discrimination and the determination to break it, but just now I found out that Asians are also foreigners in your eyes, and the 'desert of ships'? This discrimination is even more rude than the discrimination of the English against you! I used to be a junior ship designer from the 'Ship Desert', but the speed-enhanced dhow I designed is enough for you to study in the Plymouth Ship Designers Guild for several years; I am very much looking forward to it, and for this reason I will use all my financial resources to support the reappearance of the giant treasure ship. For my dream, I need the help of the most talented ship designers, and you guys ...... Whether to continue to endure discrimination and the humble design environment in Plymouth to climb the ethereal ship designer, or to follow me to Dahan to build the ultimate warship, I hope you will make a choice as soon as possible. ”
There was silence in the design room.
Without waiting for the audience to respond, Gangzi stepped down from the podium and said to Little Wilson, in a voice that everyone could hear: "Let them think about it, you accompany me to purchase everything needed to build a top design studio, as well as ship design books, and I will build my own library." ”
The two men left the design room.
Gangzi's words also ignited a big wave in the hearts of the members of the "Stranger Society".
A mysterious and powerful Oriental Giant! The existence of giant treasure ships is documented in various documents, and pictures and descriptions of giant treasure ships can be easily found in the library of the Plymouth Ship Architects Guild. No one doubts that the giant treasure ship ever existed, but it disappeared for too long and was gradually forgotten.
Now that they've just heard someone say that a giant treasure ship is going to be brought back to the sea, these "outlanders" in the Plymouth Ship Architects' Guild have their own agendas.
"Cut...... Restoring a giant treasure ship? This is something that British naval designers could not do, and it was impossible to do it at the level of Asian ship design. ”
"The perfect speed enhancement for a dhow is also something that British ship designers can't do, but this big guy did."
"What does that mean, it's just a dhow battleship, according to the classification of our British warships, it is only a sixth-class warship, and the giant treasure ship should be a first-class warship, and there is no comparison between the two at all."
"That's right! Since the disappearance of the giant treasure ships, the warships in the East have gone into decline, and now all the styles of their warships are learned from our Britain, and they will not get anything but money to go to Jimo Port. ”
"What you said may be right, but I decided to go to Jimo Harbor to have a look, the same drawings here, I compare them with the English designers, and in Jimo Harbor it will have a chance to be made into ships."
"I have also decided to go to Jimo Harbor, where General Gangzi may be able to provide me with sufficient funds to conduct my own research while in Plymouth...... I don't see any stand for the scholarship. ”
Gangzi didn't know what the effect of his impromptu speech would be, and he was being run by Wilson Jr. from various bookstores in Plymouth.
And the bookstore in Plymouth is also making a lot of money today, because Gangzi only reads entries and buys books.
As long as you have all the books that are involved with the ship!
It doesn't matter how many editions or compilations of a book there are, even if the illustrations are just different, it's the same if they all move away.
There are also drawing tools, no matter what model, come first 100 sets, all of them are packed and sent to the dock warehouse. (To be continued.) )
