The first mate rang the big bell on the captain's room, and the workers in the engine room immediately opened the valve slowly, and the sound of air flow suddenly came from the pipe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Increase!" the sweaty chief engineer shouted as he looked at the motionless steam turbine, "increase the fire over there and get our Vivi moving!"

Smoke billowed from the high chimneys, a heart-warming roar came from the bottom of the ship, and a murky wave of water rushed out from the bottom of the ship, and Vivi began to move slowly forward.

As long as you can move, it's fine.

Renault also relaxed at this time, it is not difficult to launch the boat, the key is to run. He didn't know how powerful the turbine was, and certainly couldn't figure out how big a ship it could drive, so everything was still figuring out.

But fortunately, God opened his eyes and let him successfully move for the first time.

"Boiler afterburner," through the glass of the porthole, the chief engineer saw the slowly receding riverbank, and was even more excited than the night he married his wife, "turn on the fan to the maximum!"

In less than three minutes, the Vivi had reached its fastest speed, and Renault estimated that it was at least 30 knots, or 60 kilometers per hour.

Of course, this is the relationship that he designed the ship as if it were a warship, and it was empty.

It would be nice to be able to keep the ship really used for loading at 15 knots.

"Left rudder 15 degrees! Hit back, right rudder 10 degrees, oh my god, there's a sharp bend ahead, tell the engine room to slow down......"

The captain had never seen such a fast ship, and he kept giving orders in the cockpit, and the sweat on his body had long since soaked his clothes. He was too nervous, the surface of the river was only 100 meters, and the narrow place was only more than 50 meters, and there were many bends.

Sailing on it at such a fast speed, if he accidentally hit the shore, he would lose his old face, not to mention, the key is that the boat was damaged and he couldn't afford to lose his life.

Facing the cool river breeze, Vivi and Miley are like two little children jumping and jumping on the deck.

Although horseback riding and bird walking are faster than this, they are not the same on water and land. The hard bow of the boat breaks through the microwave water, setting off huge waves on both sides, and it feels like it is really flying.

After sailing for more than ten minutes, Renault gave the order to return.

He feels that after coming to this world, this is the most satisfying work for him.

The tall buildings, factories and walls of Black Iron Town, although they look magnificent, are just dead things after all.

The steamer, on the other hand, was "alive", and as long as there were enough rivers, it could go anywhere, which was undoubtedly a very powerful tool for his ultimate purpose.

Even when I occupied Little Wolf Castle, I didn't feel so good.

Looking at the Black Iron Town that was about to arrive, Renault's mind had already flown to the clouds.

He was already a little impatient, trains, cars, tanks, and of course, if it was possible to build two more planes, he felt that it didn't matter if he could go back to the original world.

In that world, he was just a little guy, a single dog with no car or house, and now he didn't even have a job.

The Vivi was moored in a dedicated dock, and when Renault stepped off the gangplank, there was another hail of mountains and tsunamis.

"Lord Renault," the captain hurried out of the cockpit to catch up, "I have a reluctant request. ”

"Say, Captain Raphael, you are my hero today. ”

"Please don't say that, it is the greatest honor of my life to be able to sea trials for Vivi. He politely replied, "I beg you to make me the captain of the Vivi, no, first mate, as long as I can work on the Vivi, I can do anything!"

"Nope. ”

A simple word shattered all hope for Captain Raphael.

Although it was his first time piloting, he had fallen in love with Vivi, and now he looked back at his Breaking Wave and thought it was a rag.

But Renaud rejected him.

It's a matter of course to think about it, he's not a citizen of Black Iron Town, and he's even been a subordinate of Wolf before, so how could Renault need him?

"Captain Raphael, if you are willing to stay in Black Iron Town, I think you can help me train a lot of good captains. Of course, you will also be the captain of the next ship, and I have already thought of a name, called the Moon. ”

"What?"

Raphael thought he had misheard, and looked at Renault's back for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Renault didn't refuse him, oh my God, he really agreed!

Although it's not Vivi, will the Anna be bad?

Absolutely not!

"Lord Renault, wait for me, where should I report for duty......

The trial ended successfully, and Renault, in order to test the ship's performance, immediately asked Vivi to carry two hundred escorts to Little Wolf Castle.

Little Wolf Castle is now only guarded by ten Black Iron Army, which is okay for a short time, but it will inevitably go wrong after a long time. Although he defines it as a "town", it is home to more than 50,000 people.

With the experience of building the Vivi, the blacksmith Ferrier opened up a vacant lot by the river, and the two improvised docks were started at the same time.

The last nine ships, Renault, made some changes, widening the deck and making the cargo hold much smaller. Because these ships will not serve as the main force of transport, more focused on combat.

In the future, these ships will be used for armed patrols on the Nibel River, and even for siege warfare.

Renault wanted to take these boats to the lower reaches of the Nibel River and see the style of the royal capital.

But now he is not available.

The weather was getting hotter, and the townspeople's dormitories were too hot to live in, and they all gathered at night to sleep at the city walls or by the river.

Several options were discussed with Charlotte, such as adding another layer of iron plate and resin to the exterior walls, or diverting water upstream and pouring water down from the roof, but in the end, Renault vetoed them.

Not to mention that the exterior wall project is too big, it may not have an effect, and watering is to drink doves to quench thirst, which means nothing.

Of course, Lauren's proposal to install a turbine fan would not work, not to mention where such a large fan came from, and how much it would cost to burn coal every day.

"Anna, let's go see Hailei first. Reynolds said.

Step out of the sweltering city hall and join Anna on your way to the "Hailei Farm" outside of Black Iron Town.

It is a clearing in a mountain col, and due to the barrenness of the land, even the wild grass is not very lush.

But Hailei took a fancy to the place at first sight, because there was a clear stream nearby, and the water for irrigation could be easily obtained.

Dozens of escorts were pouring the ground under the afternoon sun, all of them heavily armed, and they did not even take off their heavy body armor.

"Aren't you hot?" Although this is helpful for training, it is not so harsh, and he still can't bear to see the guards all hot and prostrate. Drink doves to stop

"Lord Renault, we're hot. "But Miss Hayley is afraid of the farmer, and when we take off our equipment and stand by the field, she will be afraid, and that's all there is to it." ”

Afraid of the farmer? Renault felt a little puzzled, what a strange reason.

"But Miss Hayley was very nice to us, we only had to work three hours a day, and the rest of the time we were resting, but we had to put on our gear when we worked, and there was nothing more. ”

Although the mutated Black Iron Army is not physically able to adapt to temperature changes like the Awakened, it is still much stronger than ordinary people, so it is not too uncomfortable for them to load equipment for a few hours.

Renault waved his hand for the guards to continue their work, frowning as he walked towards a row of shacks at the foot of the mountain. (To be continued.) )
