Volume 5 The Return of the King 43 Expedition at public expense

I don't know how much money Edwin has, how much money it is for five years, they didn't tell me, and they probably wouldn't have said if asked. After returning to the village from the town, Edwin spent his days in the cave. He urged all the foundry craftsmen to begin studying the drawings he had brought back.

What that sentence says, practice makes true knowledge. It's one thing to draw, it's one thing to cast, it's another thing to cast out.

Don't you understand?

Ha! It's the size!

This doesn't mean that you can draw a diagram and know the principle! How big is it? Gears, bearings, screws, nuts...... What size, what caliber, how much length? Even how many inner diameters and thicknesses are the right number of tubes?

No!

Edwin drew a picture, and it's a picture so far!

I don't believe he didn't think of it, but he does face it now. To build this kind of machine, every part has to be just right! If it's big, it can't be trapped, and if it's small, it can't be trapped! I see that they are very busy every day, and I also figured out that this can't be made at all, but they still discuss while making the mold of the casting, and after the casting, more than a dozen of them discuss how to proceed to the next step, and then deduce step by step, not to mention that in the end they really made small mechanical parts.

Gearing is such a little thing. Doesn't it look like a pocket watch to me? At that time, pocket watches were indeed extremely extravagant. But it's not easy for them to make it.

Time flies, the gold and silver are ready, and the convoy is set off, and I really underestimate what it means to earn for five years! A box of 1 meter long, 2 meters wide, 80 centimeters high, and 10 boxes in one car, there are more than 40 cars in total!

This matter is confidential, top secret! The convoy departed from Rolling Grass and headed west. We set off four days before the agreed meeting time, but when we arrived at the beach, two boats were already waiting at sea.

It was said that the goblins had sent a ship to pick us up, but Edwin clearly didn't believe them. I also learned that these two ships were the two merchant ships he kept in King's Harbor, and whether there were any other Edwin did not choose to tell me. Suddenly, I felt the horror of this man again.

Have no bottom!

After loading the boxes on the two ships, we waited quietly on the surface of the sea for the goblins to arrive. They showed up on time, but they were very cautious about the appearance of a human boat, and after checking their identities three times, they sent someone rowing over.

We met Edwin, and we met the guy who brought us back last time, so we set off so happily.

All ships must report if they want to enter the port, otherwise they will be intercepted by warships outside the port, and the price of forcibly entering the port is to be greeted by the cannons around the port.

In order to dock at the port, not only approval documents are required, but also certification marks are required. All vessels must be clearly marked. We didn't know that until we left!

And the only logo on our ship...... It's the Lion Badge Banner of the Stormwind Kingdom!

Edwin was initially reluctant to comply with this rule, and he wanted to get the dock superintendent Krazik to be accommodating, but was directly rejected by the interceptor and refused to continue communication. It's not a matter of stalemate, and the reply I got after sending me to communicate is that I must use this logo, and I will use this logo in the future! As long as the register is made, it will be used for life, unless a new ship comes! The message inside is dead!

After no communication was fruitless, our two ships raised the banner of the Stormwind Kingdom. Before we even docked, we saw orcs, trolls, and humans all watching us on the docks. This kind of attention salute is not good! I know!

Edwin was upset, but he didn't say anything more.

Do you know why he's upset? Because we are the only ship from the Stormwind Kingdom that dares to fly the king's flag! It is very likely that this kind of thing will soon reach the ears of all pirates, and there are not a few nobles who deal with pirates, and it is very likely that this kind of news will reach the ears of some upper echelons within a month or two.

The Storm Kingdom has not been in contact with the goblins, and what these two ships do here will quickly become a topic of conversation among the Storm higher-ups, and Edwin, who likes to keep a low profile, doesn't like to be noticed! He was willing to keep himself and his people low-key into the dirt and try to make people ignore his existence, but that's fine for now!

Despite this, Edwin had a good time meeting with the rich man, who laughed the most when he saw the gold being transported, and Rivigaz was one of the few goblins with gold teeth.

The next few days are to choose the type of equipment and supporting facilities. When they were on the docks again, I felt like Edwin really wanted to remove all the equipment from this harbor!

Rivigaz had almost all the equipment he had in his warehouse, and the engineers around him were even more busy. Edwin also brought some technical backbone, and he wanted to let his people learn a long time and then get used to it. For the sake of Huang Cancan's face with boxes of gold coins, Rivigaz allowed the visit.

I looked at the people who had been tinkering with them for days and didn't figure it out, and it really didn't seem to be enough. Then Edwin called them to a meeting that night, during which the visit tasks were divided into groups, and who was going to see which part was going to be seen!

And during the visit, they not only have to see what it is, but also how to install and disassemble. After all, some things were originally a pile of parts, and once they went back and reassembled, it was too cumbersome to reassemble, so they did a primary processing here, and then the semi-finished products were shipped to the ship. And the big piece was dismantled for him. Edwin's request is to make sure that all the details are memorized, and that all the content must be edited and sorted out when he goes back to review it. Edwin's request is a request, but people are different. Some have a better memory, some are slightly inferior, and everyone's comprehension is different.

The same craftsmen, their level is different, but after working for more years, they have experience to make up for some shortcomings, but it is actually a bit difficult for them to look at this kind of thing with previous experience. So after a few days, some of those craftsmen were a little overwhelmed. I even saw boils start to grow on some guys' faces, mouths, and noses.

This should be rushed!

Soon the two ships were full, and the rich man generously allocated two more. He stayed in Treasure Bay for more than a month, during which time he only slept three or four hours a day, and several groups took turns to rest, that is, drawing, writing data, and remembering details. Those craftsmen probably never dreamed that they would be able to do this kind of work in this kind of place in their lifetime. Before they left, they estimated that some people would think that they would have the opportunity to go out and have a look, even if it was to study and investigate, but they should not have expected that Edwin had already prepared enough challenges for them.

Edwin would also go to the rich man for a drink, and every time he came back, he was drunk, I don't know what they talked about, but it seemed that the two of them had a good temper.

In the end, the money was not spent at all, it can be said that less than half of it was spent! But supplies had already filled four ships. But seeing Edwin's attitude doesn't seem to be enough, he's like a woman who rushes into a mall with shopaholic symptoms, buying whatever she sees. I want to ask the goblin for the end of the purchase, and the goblin is out of stock! He bought all their inventory!

The goblins admired this human, they didn't expect there to be such a rich person, and Edwin's appearance in Treasure Bay to make a big purchase went viral, and soon became a talking point on the streets.

What about this man...... There are all kinds of thoughts and ideas, but in this kind of place, it is already a miracle to be able to uphold the basic principles of being a man, so the mouths of people here are really like torn cotton trouser waists, nonsense is light, nonsense will immediately become rumors, and rumors are often something that is rather believed. That's what Edwin is worried about.

After completing the acquisition, Edwin ordered a large number of supplies from the rich man, and Edwin's request was to build them for him within two months. In addition, there was a verbal and documentary agreement between the goblins and Edwin that the goblins were allowed to send technical consultants and other technicians to our construction site, on the one hand, to cooperate with the assembly to ensure that they could be used, and on the other hand, maintenance and overhaul, of course, these costs money.

Immediately after the negotiation was settled, we set off for four ships of supplies to the beaches of the Western Wilderness.

Edwin's face suddenly couldn't see the ease of the past, he was still full of ambition before he came, but now he only had a serious face, but his eyes were full of determination.

There were several experts sent on our ship, one of them was named Kirnig, the other was named Snid, one was silent from beginning to end, and the other was noisy to death, and he was the most noisy on the whole ship.

The bunch was chattering and chattering, which I couldn't understand but I could understand, and they had translators who spoke human languages, but they thought none of us could understand. I didn't squeak either, and I didn't listen to them from far or near. It's noisy, but these guys have a much stronger mouth than the humans in Treasure Bay.

Most of the chats about this group of guys along the way are serious topics, there are more technical people in it, so the topic is still mainly technology, and of course they will also talk about some topics about whether we can learn their technology or not, and some topics about their judgment of human intelligence.

Edwin was at home, but time was fast, and when a sampan appeared on the surface of the sea, the fleet began to turn, and then sailed into a strait, where I really saw what it was like!

That's really a hole! Not only is it a huge natural harbor, it's also a covered one! And it's not just topped! There are already workers working here! They are erecting scaffolding, laying planks and stones on the beach, and building spacious platforms.

Edwin didn't have much expression on his face, I only saw hope in his face...... And determination!
