Chapter 953 The Invited Explorer

When Roland walked into the port surrounded by guards, two three-masted ships flying black and white dragon-head flags were unloading. Fastest Update Officials from the city hall stood in a circle around the stacked wooden boxes and exclaimed from time to time.

"Long time no see, Your Majesty," Margaery quickly came forward and smiled, lifting her skirt and bowing to him. "Please forgive me for being able to meet you like this... running around on the sea. It’s really not suitable for wearing a long skirt, I hope you don’t mind.”

A man next to her also touched his chest and saluted, "Your Majesty, Sander Feiniao from Shuanglong Island greets you. I wonder if my outfit can satisfy you?" After saying that, he winked and said, " It should go very well with the word soaring seabird, right?”

In fact, before he spoke, Roland had already noticed this conspicuous dress. It was difficult for a humanoid target covered with feathers to avoid attracting attention. The clothes are ordinary fjord merchants' attire, but from the turban on the head to the moccasins on the feet, tassels made of bird feathers can be seen everywhere. After a long voyage, many feathers have turned into bare poles. Even the decorations still hanging on the clothes have lost their original luster, making people think of the word drowned rat.

"No... you misunderstood," Roland said, holding his forehead. The Sander Bird in his heart was just a very ordinary blue icon. Anyone of the same sex and a few of the opposite sex who were similar in age to him would have felt impatient. The experience of driving it. "Although you don't want Lightning to recognize you, I bet that if you enter the castle like this, you will be stared at by her inseparable partner Maisie, Mr. Thunder. In that case, even if you have a fake face plastered on I’m afraid it’s hard to cover up the beard.”

"Hahaha...really?" Lei Lei laughed heartily, "What a pity, I'm quite satisfied with this outfit. You don't know anything, but since I ordered such a suit from a tailor, it's now in It became popular on several islands.”

Is this the power of role models? Roland rolled his eyes silently. In addition, the other person is indeed the most outstanding explorer in the fjord. He is almost forty years old and can still maintain such a young mentality. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that he would not do it for a temporary fabrication. The name is so confusing.

Everything starts with the letter before the expedition.

After the installation of the steel sea-going ship is completed, the next step should be the sea trial stage. Roland has always stayed away from the unpredictable sea. At the same time, he also knew the level of the first iron ship he designed. There was no doubt that even if a lot of equipment and functional areas were reduced, it was still far from a truly finished product. A long way.

A pile of iron blocks that can float and move back and forth does not constitute a qualified seagoing ship. Under the turbulence of the waves, the working environment of the hull machinery is completely different from that of the river ship. In addition, with the first use of steam turbines, the reliability of the entire power system is still a question mark. It is not surprising that it anchors when leaving the port.

What's even more troublesome is that he has no understanding of the controllability of the ship, or the human-computer interaction part. If he encounters difficulties with the mechanical principles, he can also go to the dream world to search for solutions, but how to drive a ship? Before the electronic auxiliary system became popular, I am afraid it was the only answer for one type of ship. There is no other way but to figure it out on your own.

Therefore, inviting Lei Lei to test sail in person was the best option he could think of. --0---0---Xiao--said---This is the gorgeous dividing line--Let go of that witch 00 novel netizens please note: please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. 00 Novel Recommended Reading: A Beautiful Wife from a Famous Family -0--0---Xiao--said---This is the gorgeous dividing line---r/>

The other party is not only an experienced navigator, but also the leader of an expedition team with as many as a hundred outstanding sailors under his command, so his feedback must be of more reference value.

Roland planned to take this opportunity to test and adjust while recording all the data of the ship during its voyage. In this way, when the next ship starts construction, there will undoubtedly be a leap forward. And these data will also be a valuable asset to Neverwinter Manufacturing.

Precisely because this process may take two or three months, it is necessary for Thunder to stay in Neverwinter City for a while. In order not to reveal his identity, Roland casually made up a false identity for him in the letter, which was Sander Bird. Unexpectedly, he not only accepted it happily, but also added a lot of settings to this identity. His performance spirit truly amazed the King of Graycastle.

"By the way, Your Majesty, did you really complete the construction of the steamship so quickly?" Lei Lei changed the subject, "In the fjord, even the best craftsmen and the most suitable materials will take several years. time."

"This is already considered slow. After all, steel is much easier to process than wood. There is no need to spend time soaking for anti-corrosion, or waiting for drying and shaping, as long as the heat is reached." Roland shrugged, "It is now in the harbor. In the shipyard, if you are interested, we can go and take a look now."

"I wish for it!" Lei Lei's eyes lit up immediately, "I have been thinking about it since I was still at sea!"

"But what happened to those golden dragons?" Roland pointed to the wooden boxes that were being moved off the ship one after another. The city hall seemed to be counting the number of coins in the boxes. "I said before that this ship is calculated at cost."

"Of course, we don't dare to shirk your kindness," Margaery replied, "Those are the proceeds from the sales of perfume and Chaos Drinks."

"So many?" He was a little surprised. "It's not the delivery date stipulated in the contract yet, right?"

"Because it happens to be on the way, it can also reduce the burden of the next delivery." Margaery covered her mouth and smiled, "Besides, you guessed it right, Your Majesty, both of these products are very popular in the fjord, especially after Or, it can be said that they are selling like crazy. Varieties with good taste can change hands a few times and the price can increase tenfold. Some people are willing to collect the ones with slightly worse taste. In short, now Chaos Drink has become a symbol of strength at banquets held by major chambers of commerce. symbols of."

Roland couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that letting professional resellers do this business was really the right choice.

"Your Majesty, there is a magic reaction in the crowd." Suddenly, the whisper of a nightingale sounded in his ears, "Is there a witch in their team?"

Only then did he notice that not far behind Margery, a woman seemed to be looking this way. Most of her body was hidden behind a maid, with only half of her head exposed. When their eyes met, she quickly retracted her head, as panicked as a frightened rabbit.

Roland vaguely remembered that the businesswoman mentioned this in her previous letter, "Is that person your former witch friend?"

Following his gaze, Margaery nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty, she is Joan."
