The three hundred and fortieth chapters go to office
Zhan Chen and Jiang Zhunsheng came out together and walked directly to the dock. The dozen or so large ships lined up there were particularly conspicuous.
Jiang Zhunsheng pointed at those ships and said: Chief Zhan, have you seen that those ships are not only the ships of our Ning family. In fact, there are only five ships that truly belong to our Ning family.
A strange color flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: Why are there other ships on our dock?
Haha, actually you can understand it if you think about it. Ships are made just for sailing. Some of those ships came from Minghai City, some from Heiwu City, and some from Wangri City.
Yes. These cities on the Yuan River can communicate with us through waterways.
Mr. Jiang, since the waterway is so convenient, why don't everyone build boats and take the waterway? This can save a lot of time and avoid countless monsters in the black forest.
Commander Zhan, you don’t know something. The Yuan River is not much safer than on land when it reaches our section. There are countless giant monsters hidden in the water. Seventh and eighth-level water beasts are everywhere. They are lurking in the water and can attack passing ships at any time.
Launch an attack, and the people in the boat fall into the water, but their movements are not flexible and they cannot effectively defeat the enemy like on land. Most of them will become the food of the water monster.
Therefore, the ships sailing on the Yuan River must be large and sturdy, able to withstand at least the attacks of eighth-level monsters, so that they can travel freely on the river as if they were walking on flat ground. And there are such large ships like our Ning family.
Only big families have the financial resources and manpower to build. So the reason why ordinary people don't take waterways is not because they don't want to, but because they don't have the ability.
So what will happen if families from other cities come to our city that never sleeps?
Most of them are doing business. Every city has its specialties, and high profits will be generated when these things are circulated. And with this river route, our Babel Shenzhou can be built, because the construction
Many materials for Shenzhou came from other cities.
After asking and answering questions, the two of them came to the pier, where many boatmen were busy. When they saw Jiang Zhunsheng coming, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted him.
Jiang Zhunsheng called them all over, pointed at Zhan Chen beside him, and introduced: Everyone, the person standing next to me is Zhan Chen, the new manager of our Ningjia Shipyard. From now on, we will all work under his leadership.
When all the boatmen heard that the young man in front of them was actually their future boss, they were all surprised and hurriedly said in unison: "Greetings to the steward."
Zhan Chen said to them: There is no need to be polite. I am new here and there is still a lot I don’t understand. I still need your help at the critical moment. Okay, I won’t disturb everyone’s work and everyone should leave.
The boatmen all dispersed and went to work.
Jiang Zhunsheng saw that Zhan Chen didn't use official words or authority, and he had a lot of affection for the young man. At this time, he suddenly saw a towering lighthouse on one side and suggested: Manager Zhan, I will take you to see it.
How is the sea?
How can there be a sea of war and morning surprise?
Jiang Zhunsheng smiled and said: Please come with me. So he led Zhan Chen to the tall lighthouse. The lighthouse was nearly forty meters high, with a blazing flame burning at the top. It remained unburned for years, guiding the passing ships in the dark.
direction.
Standing on the high platform, Zhan Chen looked far into the distance, but what he could see was limited. Above the Yuan River, there was a lot of chaos, and the water mist connected with the dark clouds in the sky, making everything seem to be shrouded in gray. He could only see through
Through the gray mist, I could faintly see a few firelights dancing in the distance.
At this time, I heard Jiang Zhunsheng next to me pointing at the lights and saying: Chief Zhan, have you seen those lights? That is where the Lord's Palace of the Evernight City and the other three families' shipyards are located. The shipyards of our four major families are located here.
Fifty miles along the river, people can look at each other from a distance.
Zhan Chen looked at the other side of the river again, only to find that the Yuan River here seemed particularly vast. With his strong eyesight of Emperor Wu's Great Perfection and standing at a high place, he could not see the other side of the water. He couldn't help but ask: How could I?
I don’t know when the Yuan River became so wide
You don't know, this is the center of the Yuan River. The distance between the two banks is a hundred miles, so at a glance, it looks like the sea.
Zhan Chen turned his head and looked at him and asked: Mr. Jiang, have you also seen the sea?
Jiang Zhunsheng sighed: I have seen it before, I saw it when I was a child, but since I fell into this abyss, I have never seen it again.
The two of them were silent for a while. After a while, Zhan Chen asked again: Do you want to participate in the Heaven-Bearing Ceremony this time?
Jiang Zhunsheng silently shook his head and said: My old bones can no longer stand the torment, and that is your stage.
They stayed on top of the lighthouse for a while and then came down. The place they were going to now was the shipyard, the most important destination of the trip, where the Tongtian Shenzhou was assembled and built.
The shipyard is right next to the dock. It is a huge building fifty meters high. It can be seen at a glance. Zhan Chen followed Jiang Zhunsheng there, but saw stains on the walls of the shipyard. He felt strange and asked
: Mr. Jiang, why are the walls of this shipyard so dirty, as if they had been burned by fire?
When Jiang Zhunshen heard what he said, he sighed: Your guess is correct. It happened just last month. A group of gangsters broke into our shipyard. They not only looted the material warehouse, but also broke into the shipyard and set fire to it.
, this is the masterpiece they left behind, and the appearance you see is still in good condition. It is the result of my sending people to repair it overnight.
They attacked the shipyard for the Babel Shenzhou
Haha, I think that's probably it. Maybe they broke into it and found that the Babel Divine Ark was so huge that they couldn't be taken away. So when they got angry, they set fire to it and destroyed it.
A trace of confusion flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and he always felt that something was wrong here. However, he was a newbie and didn't understand everything here, so he couldn't make any assumptions.
Let's go in, Jiang Zhunshen said. So the two of them walked into the shipyard.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhan Chen was shocked by what he saw. He saw a huge ship more than 200 meters long, 40 meters wide and 30 meters high lying in front of him. The ship was completely white.
, as lustrous as ivory, as charming as the bright moon, exuding a mysterious aura that makes people unable to help but want to find out.
Just on the surface of the hull, Zhan Chen discovered many novel designs, such as the rows of square holes on the bed, the huge propeller at the stern, and the tall masts erected on the ship.
With infinite reverie.
Jiang Zhunsheng saw that he was fascinated and said with a smile: Manager Zhan, you are so fascinated, how about we board the ship again and visit.
At this moment, a voice came from the distance: Oh, Mr. Jiang, why are you here? This attracted the attention of the two people.
But they saw an old man with the same gray beard and hair approaching them. He also looked amiable and smiling. What was interesting was that his eyebrows were very thick and long, even hanging down to his chin.
Like the long-browed Arhat in the Eighteen Arhats, his eyes are covered, but from the gaps between his eyebrows, cunning rays of light occasionally flash out, and one can still tell that his extraordinary resourcefulness is extraordinary.
When Jiang Zhunshen saw this person, he couldn't help but shout: Director Wei, why are you here?
Haha, you're already here, can I not come? Changmei smiled, then looked at Zhan Chen next to Jiang Zhunshen, and asked: Who is this?
Oh, you see, I forgot to introduce him. He is our new manager Zhan Chen. Manager Zhan.
General Manager Zhan Changmei was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He immediately saluted Zhan Chen and said loudly: My subordinates, Wei Luo, would like to pay my respects to General Manager Zhan.
Zhan Chen asked Weiluo: Are you
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the former deputy director and deputy chief engineer of the shipyard. I am currently acting as the interim director. But when Lao Jiang comes back, I can finally step down. Hahaha, Wei Luo said with a smile.
Jiang Zhunshen began to praise him again: Manager Zhan, Wei Luo is my right-hand man. From the design to the construction of Tongtian Shenzhou, he participated with me in the entire process, guiding the construction together, and sometimes he did it himself, meticulously. You can't tell it.
Well, many of the precision parts on this ship were made by his hands.
That's it, Mr. Wei, your hard work is really great, Zhan Chen praised.
Haha, Manager Zhan is overrated. I just did my job well, and it was Manager Jiang who did the hard work.
At this time, Jiang Zhunsheng said again: Brother Wei, Director Zhan wants to visit the Tongtian Shenzhou.
OK, please come with me. So Wei Luo turned around, jumped onto the Shenzhou. Zhan Chen and Jiang Zhunsheng also boarded the ship with him.
There is another scene on the ship. There are many separated rooms on the five-story building, which can accommodate hundreds of people. Now, the main part of the entire ship has been completed, leaving only some small details that need to be completed.
On the deck of the ship, there are hundreds of boatmen who are nervously carrying out the final finishing work. Among them, a sturdy man is particularly eye-catching. He walks around the ship, correcting the workmanship of the workers from time to time, and even scolds loudly when he gets excited.
, and his arrogant tone made the workers dare to get angry but dare not speak out.
Seeing him, Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel a bad impression in his heart, so he walked towards him.
At this time, Wei Luo called out: Xu Xiao, why are you still there? Why don't you come over here quickly and pay homage to the new manager Zhan.
When Xu Xiao heard Wei Luo's call, he quickly put down his work and ran over. When he took a look, he found that only Zhan Chen among the three was a new face. Thinking that he was probably the new manager Zhan, he hurriedly bowed down and shouted loudly.
Said: Xu Xiao meets with Manager Zhan
Zhan Chen turned around and asked Wei Luo: Mr. Wei, who is this?
He is the supervisor on our ship and is usually responsible for patrolling and defending various checkpoints in the shipyard.
That’s it. Zhan Chen nodded and said: Supervisor Xu, you can continue to work.
Okay, Xu Xiao agreed and went to the side to supervise the work of the boatmen.
Zhan Chen looked around and saw that although the shipyard had been renovated, some traces of the fire were still obvious. It must have been a big fire at that time. Many questions arose in his mind, and he said to Jiang Zhunshen: Mr. Jiang
, can you describe for me the specific circumstances of the fire and the entire gang raid?
