In order to prevent the other party from using the country's most important weapon as an excuse, Wang Hao directly revealed the title of knight.
"..."
A black shipwright looked at Wang Hao silently for a long time, with a very stiff expression on his face. He seemed to want to say something, but he looked like he was choked.
"The construction cost is 1,000 gold coins." The black shipwright said with a stinky face and some displeasure.
The AI of this NPC is obviously not low. Someone who can produce a map of an artifact-level ship and so many rare materials will not be short of gold coins.
This is indeed the case. Qian Wanghao has been prepared for a long time, but he is also a little dissatisfied with the attitude of these shipwrights, but this is obviously not the time to care about it.
After receiving the deduction reminder from the system, the black boatman said, "Come and collect it in 24 hours." He turned around and left without any intention of greeting.
In King of Navigation, the number and level of shipyards are directly linked to the country's overall strength.
Thanks to its geographical advantages, this shipyard in an African country is obviously not low-level, which is why it is so arrogant.
If we were to switch to China, I am afraid that only the four main ports of Tianjin, Jeju, Hangzhou and Quanzhou would have the strength to build the "Golden Meili".
In order to improve his proficiency in shipbuilding as quickly as possible, if Wang Hao handed over the ship to these shipyards for construction, he might be able to enjoy additional benefits.
This is not Wang Hao's wishful thinking. There were similar rumors in the last life. Someone in China took a special ship diagram to a certain shipyard for manufacturing because the shipyard was eager to upgrade. Not only did that person get a 30% reduction in shipbuilding fees
benefits. In the future, you can also get a 10% discount on ships purchased from this shipyard.
The national conditions are different. At this time, China has no shortage of high-end shipbuilding technology. As long as other countries can build ships, China's four main ports can build them. But in addition, there are also a large number of small shipyards scattered along the southeast coast.
It has lowered the overall level of the country.
In the Sino-Japanese naval war that broke out in the future, due to the low level of shipbuilding, a large number of destroyed ships were parked in docks waiting for repair. On the contrary, although Japan was engaged in cross-border operations, its domestic shipyards were of high level and the time it took to repair the ships was
Short. Overall, it still has quite an advantage.
This is also an important reason why various countries concluded after the war that China was defeated.
Wang Hao didn't think that far ahead at this time, but he just felt vaguely that since it took 24 hours to build a ship, he wouldn't waste his time here and it was time to meet the legendary captain Farrell.
I don’t know if I haven’t seen him for a while, but this guy still spends all day in the pub.
Wang Hao smiled inwardly. He had the address of Farrell's residence, so he was not afraid of not being able to find the other party.
According to the address left last time, it took half an hour for Wang Hao to finally reach his destination.
The building in front of us occupies a very large area, with a garden in the front and the theme of the building in the back. Only from the large rusty iron gate and the overgrown weeds in the garden that have been left unattended can we tell the true identity of the owner.
The glory is gone.
Farrell's ancestors were once Portuguese nobles. Wang Hao was not surprised at all that such a building was left behind.
After gently knocking on the iron door twice, Wang Hao took two steps back and stood in front of the door, waiting quietly.
After a while, a very regular sound of footsteps came from inside the gate.
"Is it you?"
The person who opened the door was Farrell, who had met Wang Hao once before. His eyes stayed on Wang Hao for a long time, and he smiled slightly and said: "If you come two days later, you might not be able to see me.
.”
Compared to the last time we met, although he was wearing a half-new gentleman's dress today, his mental outlook was very different and he had regained some of his former energy.
When Wang Hao heard this, he cast a doubtful glance.
"A friend of mine asked me to go to Italy. He seemed to have formulated a plan to make a fortune. I just wanted to go out for a walk, so... come in and sit down first." There was no emotion or anger on Farrell's face.
Just stating a very common thing.
Combining the memories of his previous life, Wang Hao understood that the trip to Italy would be an important turning point in Farrell's life. If he missed this opportunity, the other party would fly high, and there would be no possibility for anyone to regain the other party.
He was very happy in his heart. If he had come a few days later and really missed this golden opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
However, even if he had a slight advantage, it was obviously still extremely difficult to conquer a legendary captain.
Rebirth is not a panacea.
Just like although he knew that the other party would go to Italy, he didn't know exactly when he would go and what he would do there. There was not much information for reference, so he could only adapt to circumstances now.
Following closely behind Farrell, Wang Hao slowly walked into the castle.
At this moment, Farrell seemed very talkative. While leading the way, he introduced the origin of this castle.
It is said that his great-great-grandfather personally presided over the construction. When he was still young, his family would move here to stay for a while every June, which entrusted his beautiful childhood memories.
This is also one of the few remaining properties of the Farrell family.
To be honest, Wang Hao was not very interested in these stories, but in order to avoid leaving a bad impression on the other party, he could only act like he was listening with interest.
Farrell is the only one living in this huge old castle. The empty corridors, overgrown weeds, and the slightest movement of the wind will make a "quiet" sound, giving people a ghostly feeling.
At least, Wang Hao would not like living in this kind of place.
The two came to a living room, and Farrell lit a kerosene lamp and motioned to Wang Hao to find a place to sit down.
Wang Hao knew that this time the meat show was coming, so he casually found a chair and sat down.
If he was still worried about gains and losses when he came, the excitement in his heart has calmed down now. Although the other party's existence can bring him great help, it is not indispensable.
Compared to the last time, he has grown tremendously.
"First of all, I want to congratulate you, Captain Haotian, for becoming an honorable knight." Farrell pondered for a while before speaking.
"Thank you." Wang Hao nodded.
"To be honest, your arrival made me feel a little surprised and inexplicably happy. Your growth rate has greatly exceeded my expectations, even faster than when I was young. If you had come a few days earlier, maybe I could still
Give you a chance, but now, I have replied to my Italian friend, so..."
Farrelly showed an apologetic smile as he spoke, but his eyes were very calm.
Wang Hao knows that this reason is only superficial. The real reason is that his current strength is not enough to make the other party surrender. (To be continued...)
