Chapter 284: The Design of the Submarine
In the midst of the old man's constant protests, he was forked out by the guards.
"The industrial chain...... Charles muttered to himself.
Of course, he also wanted the mature industrial chain of the British Isles, but he didn't have the problem now. If you really have to start from scratch, God knows how long.
"Hundreds of people can always think of other solutions, not to mention that they are all designers of the British Isles, and on a technical level, they can be said to be the best people in the North Sea. ”
If there is really no way, then Charles can only send someone to search for materials from other islands, but this is time-consuming and laborious, and the other party may not be willing to sell.
As the industrial hub of the North Sea, the total destruction of the British Isle will have a multifaceted impact on the entire Earthsea.
Without the output of those flesh factories, Charles could have foreseen the increase in the price of the ship's materials.
When he thought of this, Charles thought of the child laborer who had taken Lily at the time.
The British Isle is over, and he's dead, right?
Charles didn't know why he remembered a stranger, he hadn't had such sentimentality before.
Standing at the door of his bedroom, looking at the large bed inside, Charles suddenly turned around and dragged his tired body towards his office. "Call Leonardo here, I have something to tell him. ”
Soon, the ministers of administration of the island of light all appeared in front of him.
"Your Excellency, what do you command?" Leonardo had a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and he was equally curious to know what was going on on the British Isles.
Everyone was suspicious about this matter, but he knew Charles's temper, don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
"Is there a school on our island?" Charles asked nonchalantly.
"Yes, of course, the people in the center of the island will jointly fund the creation of a school, and everyone will have children in it, and in the future, if the Governor has children and does not want to hire a tutor, he can also send them inside. ”
"I didn't ask them, I asked anyone else on the island besides them. ”
"The children of the poor do not need education, and from the age of 8 they basically work with their parents, and they are taught by their own families how to write and arithmetic. ”
Charles also understood the past when he heard this, and education is also a profession here. Knowledge, like any other commodity, is sold for money.
Charles had a hand on his forehead and thought for a while. He said to him: "A decree has been issued that the Governor's Mansion of the Island will establish a Governor's School, and all the children on the Island must be sent to school." ”
Leonardo was a little surprised, Lord Doge, how could he suddenly be interested in business.
"With all due respect, Lord Governor, this kind of industry doesn't make much money. And they themselves don't have much money either. ”
"No money. ”
"No money!?"
"Yes, there is no charge, as long as they are willing to come, there will be a free lunch at noon every day. ”
"Your Excellency, why is that? Leonardo was puzzled.
"Do as I say. Charles looked up and gave him a cold look.
Leonardo was startled and immediately bowed his head and stood still. "As you wish, my Lord Governor. ”
Now that Hope Island has money, wasting points on it is nothing. The Governors of other islands waste more, and the life of a Puritan like the Governor, who doesn't play with women and doesn't drink, is truly rare.
Leonardo is gone, Charles is not idle, compulsory education is just the beginning, students also need employment after they come out, otherwise the knowledge they have learned will be wasted.
All kinds of plans were written by Charles, and the more he looked at the plans above, the more he felt that he was following the old path of the British Isles.
Is it really inevitable that the bloody accumulation of industry cannot be avoided? When Charles thought of this, his subordinates did not stop, at least on his own territory, and he could intervene in time.
When the news came out of the Administration Department, it immediately caused a major earthquake on Hope Island.
The islanders don't know much about the Governor, except that he is a man with strict laws and a penchant for exploring the islands.
Most of the usual banquets and events do not participate, which seems mysterious to everyone.
Everyone on the island talked about it, and a large number of people were very resistant to this decree, after all, it meant that the family would have less labor to earn money for a while.
But when they saw that it was mandatory, they could only hide the dissatisfaction in their hearts, and everyone knew what the consequences would be if they violated the law on Hope Island.
Fortunately, the school still manages a meal, which makes their dissatisfaction a lot lowered.
As time passed, Charles thought it would take a long time for the designers to find a solution, but the motivation to go home was even greater than he thought.
Just two days later, Charles saw the old man with glasses rushing into his office with a stack of freshly drawn drawings in his hand.
Looking at the haggard look on his face and his red eyes, it was obvious that he hadn't closed his eyes for the past two days.
"Your ship, Lord Governor, has a certain amount of intelligence, doesn't it?" he asked Charles a strange question.
"What? What does this have to do with the submarine I want?"
"Of course it does! Look at the drawings. The old man spread out the drawings in his hand, and the notes inside looked very scribbled.
Charles could see that it was his narwhal, but there was something more than the ship on the previous drawings. Like steel plates and all kinds of gear machinery.
"I've been to your boat, and it's very powerful in activating the rope, which gives us a new idea. ”
Charles came to the spirit, and he also wanted to know what the other party was going to do.
"It's a ship in itself, and the lower part doesn't need to be changed, as long as the upper half is completely enclosed, and the sonar is added to control the ballast water that floats up and down, and it's a perfect submarine. ”
Listening to his words, Charles nodded secretly, this is a good way. One of the top designers in the British Isles.
Not only does it not require all kinds of messy materials, but it is also very fast to transform.
"Don't forget about the underwater attack system. ”
"Understood. The designer with glasses looked at Charles, and said in a trembling voice: "You said it." As long as the ship is ready, let us go, right?"
Charles looked at him calmly, and at a time when the designer's expression was getting more and more excited, he nodded slowly. "Well, that's right. ”
"Okay! I need the support of all of your dock owners. One month! up to one month. We'll help you get the boat right!"
As soon as he finished putting the drawings away, he turned to leave.
"As long as I can build it, I'm not in a hurry in terms of time. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't help but hurry, my grandson is still waiting for me at home. He turned and walked out.
Charles tapped slowly on the table with his steel prosthetic. He really didn't know how to tell them about this kind of thing on the British Isles, hoping that they would be able to hold on to it then.
"It's all bitter...... It's all bitter...... But who doesn't suffer in this place......"
