Chapter 368: Golden Merry

As a boatman, Davers' most rewarding moment was watching the launch of his own boat.

As the logs tumbled and slid into the river, Davers couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.

Ever since his legs were inconvenient, he hadn't built a complete ship, and this one was undoubtedly his first work.

Powered by a steam turboprop, the basic structure of the brig was retained, and a gun window was added to the hull.

Artillery, the kind of artillery that can shoot huge iron balls, is terrifying and terrifying.

This kind of artillery is said to be the handy work of their lord.

Davers had seen the power of this cannon, which was like a reinforced and enlarged version of the musket, with a huge barrel of nearly one meter, stuffed with a solid iron ball inside, and after lighting the fuse of the cannon, the gun would push the iron ball out.

The terrifying iron ball can easily pierce and smash the ship's plank, and people will die if they touch it, and there is no humanity at all.

The birth of this kind of big killer made Davers have a hunch that their lord was going to dominate the sea!

After Chen Xiao arrived at the shipyard, he found Davers, this old guy was full of red face, as if he had a second spring, and his passion was infinite.

He couldn't wait to say: "My lord, the ship has been launched, just waiting for you to cut the ribbon and set sail!"

Chen Xiao nodded and took Audrey and the others onto the boat.

The shipwrights and sailors lined up neatly on both sides of the deck, all dressed in formal clothes.

These clothes are all produced by Adora's garment factory, and the words sailor, or boatman, are embroidered on the back, and the white sailor suit and the rebe hat give people a two-dimensional sense of déjà vu.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help grinning and said to Davers: "Set sail!"

Davers staggered to the captain's quarters and honked his horn, a sharp whistle sounding suddenly.

The brig has a three-layer structure, the lowest layer is equipped with a steam turbine engine, which is a power layer for stockpiling coal, and the second layer is the artillery layer and the brig operation layer, and there are three gun windows on each side of the ship, which are usually closed, and in case of war, they can be opened to push the guns out to destroy the enemy.

The upper deck is the cabin, which is used for people and the carriage of goods.

The whistle sounded, and the sailors at the bottom opened the coal window of the steam turbine engine and began to shovel coal into it.

As the steam pressure rises to the valve's fixed value, the steam turbine engine produces an amazing sound.

Thundered......

The propellers began to stir.

The huge iron anchor was pulled out of the water, and the captain who was temporarily trained to work was actually just a fisherman with experience in operating large boats.

He looked at the direction of the flag on the watchtower, and couldn't help but exhale: "Against the wind!

"Collect the sails!" The captain did not use the headwind and the boatman's rowing to complete the trip upstream, as he had done in the past.

In this worst-case scenario, it's just time to test their grown-up's new masterpiece, the steam turbine engine!

As the sails were folded, the brigs stood alone in the middle of the ship.

With the sails stowed, the captain pulled down the starting flute.

"Set sail!"

The boat moved, and with the sailors and captains manipulating, the boat began to slowly break away from the shore, walked to the middle of the River Lane, and began to swim upstream!

Chen Xiao stood on the deck, standing in the wind, the clothes on his body were blown by the wind, and Audrey behind him was already excited, looking east and west, looking like a curious baby.

"Sir, you really don't have to row to move!" said Audrey, surprised.

Shipwright Davos and everyone present were equally excited that the application of steam turbine engines would open a new chapter in shipbuilding and navigation.

It's a celebrity for the ages!

Davers walked up to Chen Xiao and said, "My lord, the name of this ship is up to you. ”

Chen Xiao walked under the bow statue, the huge bow statue, following the traditional dragon head statue, which is the tradition of the Dorag Empire, the dragon head statue will shelter the ships and people who sail.

He touched the statue of the dragon's head and said angrily, "Golden Merry!" Our flag logo is based on the trademark of the Chan Chamber of Commerce. ”

Davers twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that the name had a bit of a story.

The name of the ship is set, and the flag and logo will be hung, the trademark of the Chen Chamber of Commerce is a five-clawed golden dragon, which is imposing, and the royal black dragon emblem is compared with it, whether it is a sense of hierarchy or momentum is a few grades weaker.

Abbreviation...... Weak explosion.

The Golden Merry, which sailed against the current, soon arrived at the port of Black Rock Village.

Docks and shops and warehouses have been built in this port.

The cement paved floor is flat and open, and the shops and warehouses are neatly set up, and the planning is very advanced.

The warehouses here are full of honeycomb coal transported from Black Rock Village, and special products transported from Amber Village and Songlin Village, waiting for merchant ships to transport them out.

Now, there are boxes of swords, weapons, and armor on the docks.

This is Karna's order, which will be sent to Castle Rock by the Golden Merry.

The ship slowly approached the dock and completed its first sea trial.

Next, the captain connected with Zhao Geyan on the dock and asked the dock workers to carry the goods onto the ship.

Zhao Geyan walked up to Chen Xiao, gave a salute, smiled and said respectfully: "My lord, don't come unharmed." ”

"Lao Zhao, why are you here?" Chen Xiao was surprised.

This guy is now keen on running merchants, making the Chen Chamber of Commerce bigger and bigger, and bringing huge profits to the territory every month.

Zhao Geyan said: "This time, I am in charge of transporting the order, and by the way, confirm the route from Blackstone Fort to Kaiyan City, and Geyan is very curious about this new type of merchant ship." ”

Zhao Geyan looked at Audreya beside Chen Xiao, smiled slightly, and showed a blessed smile: "I haven't congratulated you on your newlywed." Lady Audella, Gui'an. ”

"Gui'an, President Zhao. ”

Audrey said with a blushing face, feeling a little embarrassed about her identity.

Zhao Geyan took out a small gift from his wide sleeves, held it in his hands and showed it, and said, "This is a little bit of Geyan's heart, Mrs. Audella, please smile." This is the jewelry I bought from a merchant in Leighton City, called the Blessing of the Sea God, the jewel of the jewelry, which is said to be the tears of a mermaid. ”

The pendant of the jewelry is a transparent blue gemstone in the shape of a water drop, strung with a silver necklace, simple and beautiful.

Audrey glanced at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao smiled and nodded.

Audreya smiled and accepted Zhao Geyan's small gift, this jewelry, she liked it at first sight and couldn't put it down.

Chen Xiao said: "What about me......"

Zhao Geyan looked embarrassed, they were really cheeky, and they even asked for a gift.

Seeing Zhao Geyan's embarrassment, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously." ”

"My lord, you already have the most precious things in this continent, so I won't be ugly. ”

Regarding Zhao Geyan's statement, Chen Xiaoshen thought so.

He gently held Audella's little hand and smiled slightly: "Lao Zhao, when did you become so fond of sycophants." ”

Zhao Geyan: "......" ←_←

After the goods were loaded onto the ship, Zhao Geyan and Chen Xiao boarded the Golden Merry.

Dai Fus's efficiency is still very high, he has immediately organized people to paint the dragon head statue with gold paint, and as for the flag, he directly used a flag of the Chen Chamber of Commerce temporarily.

This time, he also intends to complete its maiden voyage aboard the Golden Merry.

When the ship left the port, Zhao Geyan and Davers looked at Chen Xiao with a confused expression.

"My lord, when Rovinica and the others find out about this matter, will they kill me?"

Zhao Geyan smiled wryly.

"Ah, this trip is only two days. Think of it as my honeymoon with Audella. ”

Chen Xiao patted Zhao Geyan on the shoulder, and at the same time showed a look of anticipation, and said, "I have to personally monitor the power of the artillery along the way, do you think I just want to be lazy?"

What else can Zhao Geyan say.
