After you have the formwork, you cannot directly fill it with cement. You need to use thick iron wire to build a skeleton on top.

These thick wires are crisscrossed across the bottom of the ship, and all junctions are welded by Garcia and Fanny using high-temperature flames.

After the formwork and frame are ready, you can start filling in cement.

Under Owen's command, barrels of cement mixed outside the shed were brought in by workers and poured into the formwork.

The bottom of the ship is flat in the middle, and is nearly two meters higher on all sides, serving as the side walls of the cabin.

According to Winster, the type of cement ship being built is a steel wire cement ship.

Hearing that Irving was going to build a new boat, Teresa, who was full of curiosity, specially came to take a look during the school holidays.

Watching the workers pouring cement, Mapel couldn't help but raise her own questions.

"Sir Owen, wood can float in water, so wooden boats can also float on water. I can understand this. But after cement hardens, it weighs as much as stone. Will the boat made from it not sink?"

When Owen was about to explain, Teresa rushed to say: "The inside of the boat is empty. As long as the structure is properly designed, the cement boat will not sink. This involves the principle of buoyancy, right? Sir Owen."

"That's right."

Owen nodded, then looked at Theresa with admiration and said, "It seems that you have learned the physics part of basic science well. Let me test you again. What is the buoyancy force on an object in the water?"

"Equal to the gravity of the water displaced by the object." Teresa answered without thinking.

"correct!"

Mapel on the side was listening to the conversation between the two people, with a confused look on her face and completely unable to understand.

"It seems that the basic part is no longer difficult for you. I have to consider whether I should teach you further scientific knowledge before other teachers." Owen said.

If she continues to study with this enthusiasm, Teresa may become the first science teacher capable of teaching intermediate students.

"Is it just the two of us in the class?" Teresa said with a smile, "That's great!"

Two people?! How can this work!

Upon hearing this, Mapel suddenly became alert and hurriedly said: "Sir Owen!"

"What's wrong? Mapel, do you have any questions?" Owen turned and looked over.

"Well, I..."

Mapel's cheeks turned red and she said coyly: "I also want to take your class, Lord Owen."

Mapel actually wants to learn? Owen was surprised for a while, then thought about it carefully, no, she didn't want to learn.

As a friend who had played together since childhood, Owen knew Marpel very well, but she was not good at studying.

Thinking back to what happened at the end of last winter, Owen himself felt his cheeks getting slightly hot.

Really embarrassed to refuse, he could only agree: "Okay, I will inform you when the class starts. However, Mapel, you don't have to force yourself too much, even the teachers in the school may not be able to accept it and understand it.

I teach new knowledge.”

"I will work hard, Lord Owen." Mapel said with a serious face.

Can you really work hard to learn? Owen doubted it.

"That's great, Mapel." Theresa smiled at Mapel.

…

In Fengsui City, a banquet is being held in the lord's castle, and the people invited are all well-known nobles in the northern part of the Dawn Kingdom.

At the banquet, people were drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

At this moment, Earl Hogan shouted to everyone: "Everyone, please listen to me."

The nobles present unanimously cast their eyes on Earl Hogan, waiting for his speech.

Earl Hogan had just inherited his father's title. He was still young and enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by everyone.

"Hmm."

He cleared his throat and then said: "Both Duke Marcus and his only son were executed for betraying His Majesty, and for my meritorious service in capturing Duke Marcus, Your Majesty has rewarded Fengsui City and the surrounding territory to

Got me."

"Congratulations Earl Hogan."

"Earl Hogan is still smart and made the most correct decision."

The nobles present expressed their congratulations, but many of them still had some worries hidden on their faces.

After glancing around, Earl Hogan continued: "I know that many of you have sent knights and soldiers to support the eldest prince, so you are very worried about your majesty's punishment."

Finally speaking of the concerns of those nobles, they all pricked up their ears. Could it be that Earl Hogan held the banquet just to convey His Majesty's will?

"You can rest assured about this matter. The eldest prince has been executed, and His Majesty has been magnanimous and decided not to punish anyone except the main criminal. You only need to go to the royal capital in person when His Majesty holds the enthronement ceremony and send gifts to apologize.

It’s over.”

The main criminal here refers to Duke Marcus, who assisted the eldest prince in gathering a large number of troops.

"Really?" a noble asked.

"That's right!" Earl Hogan responded, "You have to thank me. If I hadn't interceded on your behalf, this crime of treason would not have been so easily absolved."

"Very good!"

"Thanks Earl Hogan!"

"We will always follow Lord Hogan's lead."

After learning that he was fine, the nobles present immediately beamed and expressed their gratitude to Earl Hogan happily.

Taking this opportunity, Marquis Lyman raised his wine glass, walked over and said loudly: "Come on, everyone, let us all pick up our wine glasses and toast Earl Hogan."

"To Count Hogan!"

The nobles present picked up their wine glasses one after another.

"Okay, okay." Earl Hogan also picked up the wine glass and raised it high, "I'll return the favor, drink!"

Earl Hogan went first as a sign of respect, and drank the whole glass without leaving a drop.

After drinking, he even turned the glass over to indicate that he had finished drinking.

Seeing this, the nobles naturally couldn't just take a sip to deal with it, so they had to drink it all to show their respect.

"Everyone, please..."

Not long after he drank the wine, Earl Hogan suddenly felt unwell. His hands were so weak and trembling that he could not hold the wine glass steadily. He dropped it to the ground and broke it with a crash.

"This wine...has..."

Immediately afterwards, Earl Hogan's speech became unclear, foam came out of the corners of his mouth, and his body collapsed to the ground, struggling and shaking in pain on the ground.

After a while, he spit out foam all over his mouth, his eyes turned white, his body gradually stopped moving, and he lost his vital signs.

"Earl Hogan?!"

"This...his wine is poisonous!"

Seeing this scene, there was a commotion among the nobles present.

Anyone with eyesight can see that someone poisoned Count Hogan.

"Surround this place!"

Following an order from Marquis Leman, a group of knights and soldiers broke into the banquet, surrounded them, and did not allow anyone to leave.

"Marquis Leman, what are you..."
