After talking to Guo Jia, Cheng Mu took advantage of his interest and went to the dock to have a look.
He wanted to see the first building ship under his command.
When can it be built?
At this time, the dock was in full swing.
Dozens of carpenters were chipping away at the wood on the ground.
The shipyard has spawned a new industry, the logging industry.
Due to the keel of the building ship, several special processes are required.
Therefore, the wood awarded to Cheng Mu by the system master is not applicable.
The most important thing about a ship is its keel.
Speaking of the logging industry, we actually have to praise the blacksmith town under Cheng Mu.
The blacksmith town built on the iron ore veins has brought many sharp knives to Apocalypse City.
The axes used by ordinary lumberjacks to chop trees are only of ordinary quality.
However, the axes of the lumberjacks in Apocalypse City all start with green quality at the very least.
When cutting wood, you get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, the production of hammer-style armor produced in the blacksmith town has been stable at a hundred sets per day.
Continuously casting.
After Wang Tiechui personally guided his apprentice Sun to build this armor, hundreds of senior blacksmiths have been born in Blacksmith Town.
The blacksmith town originally had only a thousand people, but now its population has reached 3,000.
If Cheng Mu needs it, he can promote it to Blacksmith City anytime and anywhere.
Equipment manufacturing is still the pillar industry of Tianqi City.
Same as fishing industry.
They are all a steady source of income for Tianqi City.
It also seems to be related to Fan Li's mission as Shang Sage.
His eyes turned back to the dock.
A carpenter saw Cheng Mu arriving in person and immediately came over to greet him.
Cheng Mu asked curiously: "How long will it take for our building boat to be launched into the water?"
The river runs through the entire Chinese civilization.
If you don't have a strong naval fleet, you can only be beaten passively.
Moreover, the building ship is related to Cheng Mu's great cause of blocking the door.
It also has miraculous effects in running thousands of miles and in surprise operations.
The worker answered truthfully: "Sir, it will take about half a year."
Five hundred people, one building ship, half a year.
When Cheng Mu heard this, he was immediately surprised: "It takes so long?"
He had never been exposed to the shipbuilding industry before, so he didn't know that it would take so long to build a large ship.
"Yes."
The worker nodded and said: "Because the keel of the building ship is very complicated to make."
"And the hull plates require special soaking and exposure treatments, so it takes some time."
In half a year, this is already the shipbuilding time shortened by the system master.
Lou Chuan is a big boat, different from small boats like Red Horse Boat and Quan Chong.
Large ships are made of wooden boards spliced together in an era without modern craftsmanship.
Every piece of wood needs to be made to its best quality to prevent problems when splicing or sailing.
At this time, the worker added another sentence.
"We have made more than 20 keel bones now. We will wait for the keel bones to be finished."
"When the time comes to build a big ship, the time can be shortened to three months."
Since making the keel is too cumbersome and takes too long.
According to Yang Sihai's order, they have prepared more than 20 dragon bones.
By then, as long as there are enough manpower, more than 20 large ships can start construction at the same time.
"Um."
Cheng Mu nodded.
Half a year's time.
At that time, the National War will happen, so it is not too late.
You can't let the enemy's fleet arrive at your doorstep as soon as the national war begins, right?
If that were the case, Cheng Mu would admit defeat.
As for those pirates?
At least for now, Cheng Mu has not received news of pirate attacks along the coast of Yongzhou.
The coastal Ming Empire, Qing Empire, Tang Empire, and Han Empire.
Which of these four empires is not richer than China?
Although the risks are high, the benefits are sufficient.
If the national war was not about to start, Cheng Mu would have wanted to board a big ship and go to these countries to rob them.
Then he ordered: "You go and do your work, I will look around as I please."
Yang Sihai didn't know where he was busy, so Cheng Mu decided to go shopping by himself.
After receiving the instructions, the workers hurriedly resigned and continued their wood planing business.
After walking around, Cheng Mu came to a conclusion.
The workers worked too hard.
There was no idle person in the entire dock.
The only one who didn't work was probably Cheng Mu himself.
Later, Cheng Mu found Yang Sihai in the keel storage room.
A large room with twenty-four dragon bones stored in it.
He counted these one by one.
"Lord."
Seeing Cheng Mu come in, Yang Sihai immediately dropped what he was doing and came to greet him.
"you busy!"
Cheng Mu stopped him and then said, "I'll just take a look."
"Also, how long does it take to build a cruise ship?"
Obviously, his appearance still interrupted Yang Sihai.
So Cheng Mu still asked his question.
"Cruise? That will take about a month."
Yang Sihai thought for a while and gave Cheng Mu a month's answer.
"One month? That's enough."
Cheng Mu immediately ordered: "Assign some manpower and build two cruise ships at the same time. If there are not enough manpower, go to the city to recruit people!"
Building buildings and ships is certainly important.
But cruises are also very important.
One month of shipbuilding time, when he just finished the war against the emperor.
Taking advantage of time, he could still go to the Dragon Fish Clan.
Visiting the Dragon Fish Clan again before the start of the National War was something Cheng Mu had been thinking about for a long time.
Every time he increases his strength, he has one more capital to conquer the world.
Who would despise his own strength?
"As you command!"
Yang Sihai took the order.
Manpower? How could he be short of manpower?
There are 200,000 people in Tianqi City, and there are a lot of people who want to work in the shipyard.
All he consumed was some teaching time.
Depart from the dock.
Cheng Mu walked around Tianqi City again.
In the fiery Tianqi City, the people work enthusiastically day and night.
Newly built houses are rising from the ground, and the streets are dilapidated but full of vitality.
Due to the continuous influx of people, the popularity of Tianqi City has begun to decline.
There is no way, at this moment.
There are less than 10,000 native residents of Tianqi City.
After all, starting from the third-level town, Cheng Mu's Apocalypse City started the continuous jump mode.
As a result, the support of the people who have just joined will definitely not be that high.
The hearts of the people of Tianqi City have dropped, which is extremely normal.
Cheng Mu believed that as long as he stabilized the situation.
It will not be difficult for the people's hearts to return to ninety points.
The current urban area of Tianqi City is two hundred square kilometers.
Population: 200,000.
After further development, the urban area will reach four to five hundred square kilometers.
The areas of East City, West City, South City, and North City set by Cheng Mu.
It expanded several times again.
Not to mention the dark and yellow world, and the eight great avenues of the universe.
They have stretched longer and longer.
Tianqi City is a Bagua City.
Because when Cheng Mu first built the village, he chose a location by the lake.
So now from the sky, the Bagua map of Tianqi City is only half completed.
The other half is all in Kunming Lake.
The lake covered everything.
However, even if there is only half of the Bagua formation, Cheng Mu believes that his Bagua Apocalypse City still has miraculous effects.
Otherwise, every powerful person who comes will not be able to help but admire the exquisiteness of Apocalypse City.
