Chapter 101: The Boatmen of the Workers

"You see, we've come full circle, and we're back in the shipyard." Wedel said in a tone that was both proud and a little tongue-in-cheek.

"Isn't it still the room with the huge rudder screen? It was so narrow and dark that compared to the completely open dockyard, it could only be called a projectile place! ”

Haige didn't believe it, but thought that the hologram was nothing more than a virtual world synthesized electronically, so he quickly shut up.

As soon as Wedel appeared, he immediately caused a stir among the boatmen, and people took off their hard hats and saluted him, respectfully calling him "Captain Bitoni".

Wedel seemed happy to hear him be called that, smiling and turning his head from time to time to greet the boatmen in return for their greetings. It was as if he had actually arrived in medieval Europe, as the captain of a large ocean liner, greeting his sailors before boarding.

Soon, however, Haige noticed something unusual about the boatmen: their bodies were a cut taller and half narrower than normal earthlings, and their skin was golden-red when exposed outside their red striped overalls. Looking at the smiling face again, except for a pair of big eyes, you can't see the whites of the black, and even the cheeks are fiery red!

He ...... They are ......" Hai Ge was startled, and suddenly his back was cold, this taste was different from the coolness produced by soaking in the sea, the latter was enjoyment, and the former was frightened.

"Don't be afraid, they're workers on Wedel-U. Unlike the Pure Fire Clan, they are a semi-evolved race of humans, and they are good at doing manual work like manufacturing. You may wonder why they're here, but don't forget that we're in a holographic environment where everything is virtual. I just created them from my memories and the scenes where they worked. ”

Seeing the true appearance of the boatman, Haige did not dare to go forward, and in Weidel's expectation, he turned his head and told the truth.

It turned out to be one of the three major clans of U Star, and Hai Ge's heart fell back to its original place. It was out of nostalgia for his homeland that Wedell created such a hot dock scene, and even if those boatmen were really there, they would have died in the helium flash disaster on the U planet. However, after this scare, Haige also truly experienced the differences between different races on the U star, in fact, the distinction is not much different from the earth's racial distinction, which can show that the U star is not a single world.

He was no longer afraid, and greeted the boatmen warmly, as if they were real beings. He also understood why Wedel was dressed like a medieval European captain, because in this hologram, everyone was from ancient times, and their clothing was very different from modern people, but he was a "modern man" wearing sportswear and a black chain around his neck, which seemed to be out of step with the overall painting style.

Entering from the dock entrance, it was the dock room, and Hai Ge was taken aback again. Here, what he saw was a model of the Huoyi spaceship, which was originally only half a meter long! But unlike the model, the length of the ship has now been extended to 13 meters as indicated on the drawings, which is the normal size. In terms of size, the Hoi Man is no longer a small model, but the materials it uses and the artistic beauty it presents are not diminished in the slightest.

"Lem, have you installed the full gearing propeller?" Weedel asked a man beside him who was holding a device to inspect the hatch.

"Mr. Bitoni," Lem immediately straightened up and replied respectfully, "the fully restrictive propeller is the soul of the nuclear-powered spaceship of the Hoiren, and we will wait for you to preside over the final installation ceremony." ”

"Very well, then we can start now. My friend is waiting to test this miracle and see if it is as miraculous as he imagined. Wedel said and pointed to Haige, who smiled sheepishly.

Lem bowed again and hurried to the dock, gesturing at the man standing tall on a sentry tower.

The man received the signal and quickly pointed a conch-shaped horn into his mouth and blew violently, blowing a distant and ethereal spiral sound. The sound of the snail was very regular, and Haige guessed that the meaning was "assembly", because after the horn sounded, all the shipwrights put down their work and rushed to the dock like a red tide.

Why is the installation of a fully oriented propeller so grand? Still waiting for the captain himself to come and hold the ceremony? It's a lot of fun. Hai Ge's curiosity was aroused, and he also followed the flow of people to the dock.

Hey, why does the huge object in the middle of the dock look so familiar? It was a ring painted with black and red metallic paint. The disc in the center is large enough for a person to fit into, and there is a beautiful embossed badge in the upper right corner of the disc. At the edge of the ring, three blades are equally evenly painted with black and red metallic paint.

"Oh!" Hai Ge patted his head and remembered, isn't this the rudder screen suspended in the air in the real shipbuilding workshop? But the six long axes of the bisecting ring are gone, and in their place are the three blades.

"The importance of the rudder screen is not limited to the operating system, even the ring-shaped shell is actually the driving propeller of the Huoyiren?" Hai Ge suddenly realized.

At this time, the electronic operating system in the center of the rudder wheel has been removed, and it should have been installed in the cockpit of the Huoyiren, so the small door that used to verify the control switch with iris has been sealed. The rear end of the propeller has been completed, with a tail axle almost four meters long inserted into the front end, which is placed entirely on the carriage of a large construction truck.

Wedell walked to the cockpit of the engineering truck, and someone had already come up to open the door for him.

Instead of stepping on the pedal to get into the car, he turned to Haige and said, "Child, you will be the true master of the Huoyiren, and the task of lighting the soul light for this space beauty will be entrusted to you." ”

"Huh? I...... I? Hai Ge pointed at himself in surprise, and then looked around, but no one among the U Star Workers was surprised, but all looked at him with a submissive smile, and waited for him to get into the car with the same expression.

The name of the ship, "Huoyiren", was chosen by Wedel to commemorate his beloved daughter El, but it actually became a gift to him Haige. But this gift is not for him to see and enjoy, but to save the planet and revive Wedel-U.

Hai Ge couldn't find a reason to be modest and shirk after thinking about it, so he had to take heavy steps and board the engineering truck.

The cab of the engineering truck is very spacious, not only can seat two people, but also a whole LCD screen is erected in front of it. The display shows what makes this car different – you can't find the front window in the cab, so you don't know how to find your way when it's moving.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Hai Ge looked left and right, but he couldn't find the steering wheel, and he couldn't see how to start this big guy.
