Hachi, the chief engineer of the Far East, returned to the shipyard after taking his cousins on a tour of the latest steamship to be launched. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He asked his brothers, Seven Feet and Six Feet, to take the new dwarves to various construction sites to get them used to the work.

He himself returned to the shipyard for the final repairs, making sure to find out the problem as much as possible before the voyage and solve it as soon as possible.

After all, once you go south, although there are still many shipyards and shipwrights on the way, those are all in the traditional sense.

It's fine for them to fix sail sampans or something, but when it comes to mechanically constructed boats, the traditional boatsmith is really at a loss.

Of course, he will send one of his younger brothers to follow Lin Ye to the south to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the fleet, but the ship's parts cannot be replenished elsewhere, and he has to prepare the important parts as much as possible, so as not to completely become an iron lump that cannot be driven after damage.

If there is a problem with the hull, the first thing to do is to find the crux of the problem, it is very likely that just a small part will cause the whole ship to be paralyzed, at this time, you must not be anxious, you must be patient and carefully search, for example, there is a problem here. ”

In the shipyard, Hachichi hammers the hull with a hammer in his hand, and he shows his younger brother Sanchi how to fix the fault.

"Big brother, I've done this hundreds of times, and the process is already familiar to me, so you don't need to remind me anymore, and if you really don't feel at ease, you can personally follow the fleet south, anyway, these ships are all personally supervised by you throughout the whole process, and there is no one who knows their construction better than you." ”

Sanchi has been learning shipbuilding techniques from his brother Eight Feet, and is also a candidate assigned by Eight Feet to follow Lin Ye south to the East China Sea.

Unlike the orcs, who have a low fertility rate and do not have a high population, the dwarves have a high fertility rate, such as eight feet and a total of eight brothers.

However, the population is still underpopulation in the face of such a high fertility rate, and the reason here is that the life cycle of dwarves is too long.

For example, Bachi is already in his fifties this year, but when converted to a normal human being, he is only in his twenties, which is young and strong.

As for his younger brothers, they are even younger, and their long life cycle directly leads to the fact that they usually do not marry and have children until they are about sixty years old.

The long cycle has led to a long gap in age, and there have been at least three generations of humans in the same period, so the number of dwarves is very small.

"I'd like to follow the Duke south, but there's so much going on here, and I'm not only busy with the shipyards, but also the railroads, the mines, and the new towns, and the new cousins aren't very skilled in the new technology. ”

"Once they encounter technical problems, they still have to let me explain to them, which only I can do best, and it will only be more than ten years later, so that a new generation of children can master these technologies, I can be completely idle, but the days are still long. ”

"We dwarves usually don't think about retirement until they're a hundred years old, but I'm only fifty-six this year, and I've got more than fifty years to go. ”

Eight feet grinned, he has always been a strong guy, in the Far East in the past few years, he soaked in the construction site all day long, although life is very difficult.

But he's always had fun, and there's nothing more exciting than overcoming technical difficulties to break through the front and create something new.

"Don't worry, big brother, even if you are not there, I will complete the daily maintenance of the steamship on your behalf, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me, there will be absolutely no problems, this is the hard work of everyone who has been fighting for so long to complete, and it can't be smashed in your own hands, alas?"

Three-foot patted his chest and assured that although all the major matters in their eight brothers were decided by the eight-foot decision, the shadow of the eight-foot could be seen everywhere.

But this does not mean that the other seven of them are much worse than eight feet, and in some professional fields they are even more studied than eight feet.

After all, they arrived in the Far East at the same time as Eight Feet, and Eight Feet was involved in almost all fields, so they were too busy.

From one foot to seven feet, the seven of them have a division of labor, each of them grasps a piece, they are just covered by eight feet, and they have made great contributions to technological breakthroughs, such as in the improvement of steamships, if it were not for the constructive suggestions put forward by three feet, it would not have been completed so quickly.

"Well, after leaving the port, you must remember to maintain the steamship once a day in the morning and evening, and the temperature must not be too high, otherwise it is easy to have problems, and the latest magic guide cannons are also equipped, and they must be overhauled every day, by the way, what did you just say?"

Eight Feet' mind was on the final inspection of the steamship, and he didn't notice what Three Feet said, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Although I knew that a steamship that had been transformed by the hands of the chief engineer would be very different, I still did not expect to improve it to such an extent, which is really amazing, worthy of the dwarf who will leave his great name in history, my good brother Eight Feet. ”

Lin Ye walked forward quickly and gave Bachi a bear hug, his height was nearly a head taller than Bachi.

But in terms of physique he was not half a foot behind, and his thighs were nowhere near the thickness of an eight-foot arm, which was full of explosive muscles.

After all, dwarves were originally known for their strength and endurance, especially in mining and iron research, and they were all as powerful as oxen.

And Lin Ye was busy dealing with various things all day long, only occasionally learning swordsmanship, and could only rely on his swordsmanship skills to deal with a few ordinary soldiers.

In addition, he has always been very thin and thin after staying up late for a long time, which is not comparable to the eight feet who are busy on the construction site every day.

"Lin Ye, you guy is finally back, I heard the news that you are coming back, so I hurriedly got the steamship out in the shipyard, I thought you would come back in about half a month, I didn't expect it to be so soon, but it's just right, hurry up, I'll let you take a look at the new steamship." ”

Bachi was stunned, and soon laughed heartily, pulling Lin Ye to board the boat, and taking him to see the fruits of his labor in the past few months.

"In fact, this alone is not the best situation, I still have a lot of new ideas for the next step of improvement, Sanchi, you also come to discuss together, I finally met you again, we must discuss the technical problems, about the internal combustion engine......"

Eight feet suddenly talked more, and there were always technical issues that could not be discussed with Lin Ye.

Although the young man in front of him doesn't know too much about the details, he can always put forward a general direction.

It's like a lighthouse lit on the dark waters, guiding the way in the direction of the lighthouse.

But as for how to pass, it is up to him to implement it.
