Chapter 72 The Eve
The Thomas Shipyard is located at the inner end of Leviathan Island.
The large workshops needed for shipbuilding were built against the mountain wall.
In that factory building, there is a current tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the island.
All new ships built at Thomas Shipyard will eventually be launched in this current tunnel, and then directly leave Leviathan.
And the new boat ordered by Maud at a sky-high price of 800 million is no exception.
As soon as they received the notice from Cairns, Maud and the others rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.
Inside the huge factory building, a brand-new brig was strung across the frame.
The scale of the new ships is similar to the Sonny in Maud's impression, and they are all medium-sized ships.
The overall color of the hull is mainly blue and blue, the cabin, deck steps, protective railings, the observation deck at the top of the mast...
All the necessary facilities are not lacking.
But these facilities are made of treasure tree Adam, and its sturdiness is guaranteed.
The bow is a blue dragon with a cannon that Edward designed according to Maud's request.
Above the Azure Dragon, there are two dangling pointed poles that stick out straight forward, like the dragon horns of the Azure Dragon.
On both sides of the hull, is the dragon body of the green dragon winding away.
Such an image is somewhat similar to the Dragon Boat of the Revolutionary Army.
Lafayette is not Yan Control. After seeing the shiny oars at the stern of the new boat, he boarded the boat for the first time and went to the power room where the steam engine is located.
Jaya ran to the kitchen.
Instead, Maud and Jim roamed the deck.
Keynes followed behind Maud and was responsible for explaining some of the hidden practical features embedded in the ship, which reflected Edward's intentions in design.
"Are you still satisfied?"
After a few laps, Keynes smiled and looked at Maud who was nodding frequently all the way down.
"good.
"
Maud looked up at the house lookout at the top of the mast.
Below the lookout, there is a small loudspeaker.
This is just one of the details that show Edward's care.
Despite this, the cost of more than 800 million is still difficult to make people feel that it is worth the money.
But this is also impossible.
The cost of a single shipbuilding material for Baoshu Adam is as high as 650 million.
To this end, Maud even asked Fut to use the channels of the Revolutionary Army to investigate the price of the treasure tree Adam in the black market in the near future.
It is indeed such an asking price.
After a while, Jaya came out of the cabin first.
There was a slight smile on her face, obviously satisfied with the large open kitchen.
A few minutes later, Lafayette also came out of the cabin, holding a manual for the operation and maintenance of the steam engine and power room.
That was before the new ship was built, and Cairns had the mechanic write it.
Aside from the black enough asking price, Thomas Shipyard's professionalism and service are indeed in place.
The crowd gathered on the deck.
Before the new boat is launched, it is natural to have a name.
Maud was eager to try.
Then, he was isolated.
As for Zhen. The painter Jim did not participate in the naming, but began to paint the pirate flag.
In addition to the pirate flag to be hung at the top of the mast, an enlarged version must also be drawn on the sail.
While Jim was painting the flag, Lafayette and Jaya diverged their thinking, first regarded "raven" as a forbidden word, and then took more than ten ship names.
"Choose one."
Lafayette and Jaya look at Maud.
Maud sighed softly.
Crow is gone.
Later, Maud picked a pleasing name from more than a dozen ship names - Netherland.
This name was taken by Lafayette.
"Netherland, the guide, always feels weird."
After reacting, Maud looked at his navigator with a slightly weird look.
Leading to the underworld...
Kind of unlucky.
Facing Maud's strange gaze, Lafayette corrected calmly: "My name is the Devil Sheriff."
"Not anymore."
Maud patted Lafayette on the arm with a backhand, then ran to see Jim draw the pirate flag.
Looking at Maud's back, Lafayette smiled helplessly.
Under the order of his own captain, maybe he will really change his name in the future.
Anyway, as long as it has nothing to do with "raven", he doesn't care much about names.
after an hour.
Jim drew the flag.
After that, Lafayette stayed in the power room to study the power of steam, while Maud and the others went to the street to buy furniture and some necessary supplies for the new boat.
It didn't finish until evening, and their savings shrank from 50 million to 10 million.
When everything was ready, Maud was in no hurry to launch the Netherland.
Facing the doubts of Keynes, Maud found a random reason and set the time of launching to the day after tomorrow.
In this regard, Keynes is very puzzled.
Even if it loses two days of plant usage, it can only be down.
Who made Maud a big customer for the shipyard...
into the night.
Maud and others didn't plan to go back to the hotel, they were going to spend the night on the Netherland, and by the way, they surveyed the environment in the factory.
The most important thing is the current tunnel in the factory building.
That was the only way they had to leave Leviathan.
Considering the plans to be implemented tomorrow, this current tunnel for launching new boats feels quite tailor-made for them.
At that time, after they are done, they can leave directly from this ocean current tunnel, so they don't have to worry about being blocked by people at the entrance and exit of the bay at the mouth of the whale.
To be on the safe side, Lafayette also went to the tunnel to conduct on-the-spot investigations several times.
late at night.
Dick City in Leviathan is as bright as day.
On the eve of the final, the City of Daylight was more lively than ever.
Gulf port.
A small mast boat came quietly.
Buffalo stood on the pier, watching Baby-5 and Rao.G walking off the boat.
"Oh, you are here!"
Buffalo grinned and greeted the two companions who had just disembarked.
Rao, who was wearing blue tights, hunched his waist slightly and sighed: "It was bumpy all the way, and my waist was about to fall apart. It's really not good to be old."
"Oh, when this mission is completed, I can fly back to Dressrosa directly behind you."
Buffalo glanced at Rao, who was sighing, and then looked at the gorgeous Baby-5 in a short skirt and maid outfit.
"Stop talking about that, Baby-5, lend me five million."
"Eh?"
Baby-5 blinked and asked, "When are you going to ask for it?"
"I want it now."
Buffalo smiled and explained, "Because I won't do it until tomorrow, I'm going to play at the casino tonight."
"Give you!"
Baby-5 happily took out a stack of banknotes.
Buffalo took the banknotes with ease and said, "I'll pay you back when I get back to Dressrosa."
A big smile appeared on Baby-5's face, and he said seriously: "It's okay if you don't pay it back, as long as you come to me to borrow money next time"
"Then I'm welcome."
Buffalo laughed even more.
Aside, Rao shook his head.
at the same time.
Offshore.
A warship broke through the waves on the sea, heading straight towards Leviathan Island.
On the sails of the warship is written a large "rabbit" character.
Among the navy, there is only one general who uses the word "rabbit" as a name.
And this way of expressing her identity is something she borrowed from Lieutenant General Crane.
