Chapter 12 The unification of the ice and the sea is imperative
Lawrence sat on the edge of the bath and lowered a model boat with a sail into the water.
The model was a three-masted galleon made by Lawrence, and Lawrence was going to test the performance of the boat.
Sophia stood on the other side of the pool, a little skeptical of Lawrence's arrangement.
"Master, can you test whether a real ship will sink in the real sea?"
Lawrence shook his head and looked at the boat floating quietly in the water.
"This can only test the influence of balance and wind direction, and a 25-meter boat is still too small in the sea, and many waves can push this kind of boat up, and it is easy to roll over."
"I'm mainly testing what the bottom of the boat needs to do to be stable."
"A 15-meter boat is actually a river boat, and the inland river has many bends and shallow waters, so the main thing to consider is flexibility."
"In the sea, even when there is no wind, there are waves, and when it is bad, there are waves of more than ten meters and dozens of meters, which is why the Wakiri people only go along the coast."
Sophia nodded quickly, everyone had experienced a storm last time, and now they all know the horror of the sea.
Lawrence looked at the model of the boat in the water, stirring it in the pool with his hands slightly, making waves.
The boat was quickly pushed by the waves towards the edge of the pool.
"If we want to be stable, the ship will definitely be taller and heavier, and our ship is too short."
"There are a lot of shipwrights on the Wakiri side, and I need to build a more balanced boat, and think about what kind of length-to-width ratio is the most reasonable and balanced value."
Sophia also sat on the edge of the bath and played in the water boringly.
"Master, I think our bathroom is too small."
Lawrence was still thinking about the ship, and said casually, "We'll move to Oak City next year, and there will be a big bath for us." ”
Sophia quickly looked at the bathroom door.
"Master, Tim is in."
Lawrence didn't speak, and Tim didn't need a special reminder to come in.
Soon the little maid in the maid's suit came in, put her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed her head in a lovely and happy tone, and said:
"Master, it's time to eat, I used a pig for lunch today, and a very tall fish, a big fish as tall as me."
Lawrence looked at Tim, "Got it, I'll go later." ”
"Yes, master." Tim obediently withdrew.
Tim's daily job is to pass the word, or help with clothes and study various things, and the work is very easy.
Especially Lawrence is very nice, and several hostesses are also very good to talk to, but the new black sister looks terrible, and Tim is often reprimanded.
The happiest time of the day is when the host and hostess go to take a nap and play cards after eating, and then you can go to the kitchen to eat.
Half an hour later, Lawrence returned to the dining table to eat.
Sarriel and the others had already eaten, and when they saw Lawrence coming back, they said, "Lawrence, what are you busy with?" ”
Lawrence waited for the maid to serve him dinner, and replied, "I'm busy with shipbuilding, can your clever brain help?" ”
"I can't build ships, so I can't help you." Sariel had always been honest at this time.
Lawrence: "Well, I'll have to research it myself, and I'll go to Ferry Harbor tomorrow to discuss it with the Vakiri." ”
Soon a few people began to eat, and they also chatted casually about some things.
Lawrence saw Tim and Emma standing together waiting for instructions, so he took the initiative and said, "The family needs some young people to join, Emma, you can find a few girls who are about the same age as Tim, we need to train some maids." ”
Sariel objected: "We have a lot of maids now, more than a dozen. ”
Saliel counted them one by one, "Emma, Bull, Brielier, Navia, Tim, and the two Dark Elves who watched the lighthouse before and the five that Catherine brought. ”
Lawrence explains: "It's not that much is needed now, it's that there are people who need to be nurtured from a young age, and in the future we will live in bigger houses and need more people. ”
Candace understood what Lawrence meant, and Catherine knew better.
"Lawrence is not wrong." Catherine said earnestly, "We need a group of loyal servants, the more the merrier." ”
Lawrence said: "There is no hurry for this for the time being, Emma, you take a look at the manor and the town first, and select those healthy and intelligent children to join." ”
Emma thought of a lot of children and asked, "Is it okay for a three-year-old?" Seravin and EDI's daughter can already sing. ”
Lawrence feels that Seravin's child is indeed suitable, but the age does not match.
"It's too young, at least six years old, and it has to know our language."
Emma nodded and said, "I see, there are a lot of girls like this in town. ”
Lawrence calculated that most of the children in the town were born three years ago, and from three years ago to now, a large number of children have been born every year.
"It seems to be a little early, you try to pick two girls to study with Tim, preferably from the families of those heroic soldiers."
Emma made a note of the matter.
In the North, bloodlines are very important here!
Even if it's a pig, it depends on the bloodline, and the bloodline is powerful!
Parents are strong, and the children born are not far behind.
IQ is not necessarily inherited, but physical fitness, skin color, hair color, and appearance are all inherited!
Lawrence is about to usher in the fifth Eternal Night, and most of the half-breeds in the realm were born during the Third Eternal Night, and it is still more than a decade before these people grow up.
The offspring of tall barbarian warriors, especially the first-generation hybrids, should have good looks and physical fitness.
As for IQ...... I can only resign myself to fate.
Lawrence continued to be busy building ships, and Sariel took the maids to do the housework every day, counting the various resource consumption problems in the manor.
Brick, who had been out exploring for more than two months, returned.
"Master, our boat has gone far from the great river of the north, and we have returned because of lack of food."
Lawrence calculates the time it takes for these people to set off, and half of it is a month of rowing?
Even if it took more time to go against the current when I came back, it took more than ten days to go downstream, right?
"Where have you been? Where did you go around? ”
Brick shook his head, "I don't know, I can't see anyone." ”
Lawrence also has no way to communicate with the Snowcave Man.
"Well, as long as you make sure that you have rowed for a long, long time, you can be sure that the great river in the north can reach the other side of the Agama Mountains, and if you look at this distance, it should be very close to the interior."
"Go back and rest, and each of you will receive two chickens, 100 catties of wheat, 300 catties of potatoes, 40 catties of ale wine, and a new quilt."
Brick said happily: "Yes, thank you, master!" ”
Lawrence is still thinking about the rest of the Cave Man, who are not low in shipbuilding skills and rowing at the fastest speed in the ice sea.
"Brick, won't your people come down to live?"
Brick has been living here in Lawrence for a few years now and is well aware that the environment is better.
"I'll talk to them again this year."
Lawrence was satisfied: "Tell them that it is imperative to unify the ice sea now, and I am the master of the entire ice sea." ”
"The god of the stars does not look down on suffering, and will not abandon anyone, you advise your people, let them not be special, do not go against the general trend!"
"Join the arms of the Star Church as soon as possible, and don't be a sinner of the race!" (End of chapter)
