ALL NOVEL Chapter 279
...
Captain Geer has really not been idle recently. He patrols around every day and"inserts his feet" everywhere.
At one time, he was studying foreign trade with Mosantezzolo and the others. At another time, he was wearing a white safety helmet and going to the construction site to point out things. Occasionally, he went to study zombies with Moria, and sometimes he took Weibull to the kitchen to steal something. Explore new cuisine with Fit.
I don’t touch the ground every day.
I seem very busy.
I seem to be involved in everything, but I also seem to have done nothing.
Two months passed quickly.
The three-masted giant ship Bird's Nest has also undergone tremendous changes: I saw that the outermost protective wall has been upgraded into a tall and majestic steel Great Wall, the height is two or three times the original, and the part exposed on the sea is It's more than a hundred meters long.
On the left and right sides of the two towering jibs, there are two watchtowers on each side, a total of four, corresponding to the four directions of the bird's nest, the front, rear, left, and right.
The inside of the wall is like a huge ring-shaped bunker, with densely packed cannon muzzles pointed at the surrounding sea.
With an order, the cannon can fire at the enemy in 360 degrees without blind spots.
The internal and external structures have also been reinforced to the extreme, which is enough to withstand the bombardment of naval warships and strong winds and waves at sea, making the inner harbor always as calm and peaceful as the lake, suitable for fishing.
The original ugly gate has been replaced with an advanced and handsome double-layer telescopic automatic steel gate.
According to Captain Geer's request, Arkin first used electric current to engrave the two door gods based on Weibull and Barrett on the steel plate, and then Tezzolo was responsible for plating them with gold.
The two were lifelike and shining with gold.
With angry eyes wide open, the formidable door god appeared on the gate.
Of course, such a large project is expensive.
Even if the labor is free, just upgrading the materials of the outer retaining wall cost Captain Geer almost 100 small goals.
The development and construction of the main island will also cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, Captain Geer is so poor that he only has money left.
It doesn't matter if he spends this money on Bailey.
The key is that he looks pleasing to the eye and lives comfortably.
Moreover, various basic materials such as steel can be purchased directly in the system mall, unlike Baoshu Adam is so troublesome, otherwise it would take a lot of effort and time just to transport so many materials back.
...
Since the first voyage of the caravan was imminent, after completing the renovation of the outer wall, Tom could only postpone the construction of the inner island and focus on the renovation of the merchant ship first.
Rebuilding was too time-consuming and laborious, so Geer directly asked Akin to bring back all the medium and large pirate ships for modification when he captured the pirates.
At this time, more than a dozen sea-going ships were neatly docked next to the newly built pier in the inner harbor.
They vary in size and height, but the overall appearance and style have been transformed by Tom into a unified style, and a lot of gilded decorations have been added. The gleaming gold of more than a dozen ships is very beautiful. If the same ship is hung again, The flag is instantly recognizable.
Time is limited, so the early transition can only be done in this way.
Geer is well aware of the importance of brand, and must make merchant ships uniform in the future, so that others can know whose caravan is from a distance.
If you want to do business in today's sea environment, it is difficult to say it. The most important thing is to have strong force as a guarantee, otherwise it will be equivalent to sending supplies to the pirates.
Therefore, we must use our fists to create a deterrent force similar to that of the Four Emperors later, or even stronger, so that all the young people will be frightened by the news, and this fear will be deeply ingrained into their DNA! We must make sure that whenever we see the flag of our caravan on the sea, the pirates will immediately hide away....
In the conference hall, because the children had not come back from their training, Barrett and Weibull were fighting in the square outside, so the only people sitting in the hall were the two young lovers Mo Sang and Tezzolo, who were responsible for the business of commerce, and the two young lovers. There is Tom who is responsible for rebuilding the merchant ship, plus Moria and Senior
"How many cargo ships do we have now?"
Ger asked while lying on the sofa.
"At present, 10 of the 12 pirate ships brought back have been refitted. They can all be refitted in one day today and can sail at any time tomorrow. I guarantee there will be no delay!"
The fishman Tom answered.
"Uh hahaha, Captain Geer, your method is really good. These pirates are strong and they are all good at work, but they seem to get tired and need time to rest and recover, so now I They were arranged to work in two shifts."
Although Tom's dark circles were a little heavy and he looked a little tired, his face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart.
Captain Geer is indeed a resounding man, and he kept his word and did not deceive me!
I was able to decide to join in the first place. It's so smart.
Tom thought to himself.
He didn't expect to start trading with the Capital of Seven Waters so soon. Every time he modified a pirate ship in the past few days, he would think that these ships would soon be for Seven Waters. He brought a large amount of precious supplies to the capital. He worked harder and harder and couldn't stop at all. He completely forgot that even zombies and dolls needed rest. He, a normal person, needed rest even more.
"By the way, here's the design of the merchant ship you want, Captain."
Tom said and took out a roll of drawings and put it on the table.
"oh? Did you finish the painting so quickly? It’s so reliable! Mr. Tom is indeed the best shipwright in the world! But you still have to pay attention to getting more rest and don't tire your body out. There are still many things that I need your help with in the future."
"Hahahaha, captain, don’t worry, my body is as strong as an ox! Tom smiled heartily and raised his hand to show off his biceps.
Geer thought for a while and continued:
"Otherwise, Mr. Tom, can you see if there are any shipwrights who are suitable to settle here in the Seven Waters, who are clean and reliable? If so, you can write a letter of recommendation for Mo Sang and the others to take them there. Anyway, this island is spacious. Very good. Recruit some people to help you. We have endless work to do."
"There may not be a suitable candidate in the Capital of Seven Waters. People with families will not leave their homeland easily. However, I have a younger brother who is also an excellent shipwright. If Captain Geer doesn’t dislike it, I will return to the fishery when I have the opportunity. The human island brought him out too. In addition to shipbuilding, he also likes learning, so he can learn from a knowledgeable person like you, the captain. Tom thought for a while and said
"That's a good relationship. I'll keep this in mind for you first. After this period of time is over, I will personally take you and Grandma Cocoluo back to Fish-Man Island."
Gerr said with a smile.
He was thinking that Fishman Island is also a very suitable country for trading. It has a large population base and a huge demand for all kinds of things. It is rich in seabed resources and many things can be sold on the surface of the sea. The price is not cheap, and if you want to expand the caravan, you can also recruit some fishmen as sailors.
However, it is beyond our reach now. We can only wait for the caravan to grow to a certain scale before considering it. Although you can trade there by yourself, the long-term stability of the business must be considered! and sustainability, it cannot be that Geer himself, the boss, travels around the world to make deals every time....
