Deep Space Fleet

Twenty-five hours later, Zhang Yuan took four loyal servants to the largest Victoria harbor in Boulder.

四 The four loyal domestic servants were all born by sailors. The first one, named Duncan, has reached the age of retirement, and now he has to return to the mountain to help his young family.

The train that screamed from afar brought a large amount of coal and ore, and the normal operation of a city is indispensable for these fossil fuels. According to statistic estimates of geologists, the current mineable coal reserves in the mainland can at least enable the entire society to operate normally for 400 years.

For 400 years, it is not long. For Zhang Yuan who has lived a long time, it is only a very short number. It is short enough to make him have a slight sense of fear. Even if he is in this world, he is likely to live less than a hundred years. This may be the kind of experience that brings forward-looking.

He urgently wanted to do something for this world.

"Big Rock is a place where coal and steel are produced. It is the most basic way to make money by transporting local specialties to other cities and earning the difference between the two cities. The price of materials is different in each period. Yes, Earl, if you want to do this business, it is a compulsory course to judge the price fluctuations of commodities on various islands. "Old Duncan said softly.

Zhang Yuan nodded.

There is also a talent market near the port, which gathers a large number of young people. Some captains like to recruit sailors here. After all, it is a high-risk and high-income industry. It is impossible to persevere in sailing in the dark for several months. Crazy people abound.

There is also a smuggler who is being whipped. In this society, smuggling is a very severe crime, and it has to be accepted and double tortured.

The old Duncan relished admiringly the scene of the prisoner being beaten with a whip. He smiled and said, "Master, these young people are really too tender ... these smuggling methods are the rest of what we play, what cabin mezzanines, human shipments, hehe ... To make more money, they have to Use your head. "

Zhang Yuan laughed, "You can come here to find an errand to do, based on your rich tax evasion experience."

He just glanced at it from a distance, and then lost interest.

They saw their own steamship—a huge steel giant ship, one 狰狞 gun barrel, exuding a dim metallic luster under the gas lamp.

Since the entire ship was borrowed from the Duke, all the crew members were also readily available, so naturally no manpower was required. Although Zhang Yuan himself is not young, he has never done such a job, so even if he is smart, he still thinks that he should maintain a humble attitude, and it is always good to learn more.

"Master, although you bought the right to use this fleet, I hope that you can plan your sailing in advance. And during the sailing, do not directly participate in the management of the crew ... you better not bring a maid Get on board and do n’t drink too much on the boat. Smoking is fine, but I hope you can smoke on the deck. After all, we have coal in the cargo. "

中 The middle-aged captain said at the first glance of Zhang Yuan and said anxiously.

If it wasn't for the Duke's order, he wouldn't want to take the job at all.

He has seen too many second generations, and he started to get on the ship, thinking what a wonderful experience of sailing for several months. As a result, they became neurotic after three or five days, especially when the pressure was extremely high on the way. These two generations like to yell at the sailors and vent their emotions to the crew ...

This is definitely a dead act!

Some sailors stormed their tempers, slaughtered the nobles, and then committed suicide by jumping off the boat. As a result, the entire ship had to be punished after going ashore ...

As for the maids, the young sailors' hormones have no place to vent during the long voyage. The existence of women may form a strong temptation and may even prevent the crew from working properly. This is another important reason to make women a taboo for navigation.

远 Zhang Yuan said quickly: "No problem, Mr. Duncan will join your work, everything is his responsibility. I just want to learn some navigation knowledge, including astronomy and meteorology, and it will not interfere with your work."

"Of course, and I hope you can understand that I pay all the wages."

The captain listened to Zhang Yuan's tone, unlike the second generation of ignorance, while the old Duncan was a very well-known and knowledgeable chief officer. Although he was old, there should be no major problems. Take a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yuan returned to his room, not too big, about 30 square meters, but better than other people by more than one grade. This should be his place for a long time to come, and he couldn't help but sigh gently.

Twenty-three days later, when all the cargo was loaded, the ocean-going ship whistle "whispered" and left Boulder.

Uh ...

Zhang Zhangyuan is a very polite person and is equally polite to everyone. For an acquaintance, this approach may have a sense of alienation, but for young, low-ranking sailors, it is exactly the warmth of spring.

Zhang Yuan even humbly asks the sailor for questions. How can an earl ask questions?

Sometimes Zhang Yuan also asked them how they lived and whether they had dreams ...

Dream? Of course there isn't, it's good to be full.

"... is the shell attached to the ship?"

"Yes, yes! These shells are called 'A sweet honey'. They like the corrosion attached to ships, and they will also affect the speed of sailing. If it is prolonged, it will cause corrosion to the chassis, so we have to wait a few months. It has to be cleaned once, but boiled and boiled, it is a very delicious dish! "The sailor, who had just emerged from the bottom, explained, and he untied the rope while he was talking.

"The waves are so big, it's really hard." Zhang Yuan said softly.

The navigation on the sea is very boring. The scenery is the same every day. Only when I measure my position with the astrological compass can I know that there is a small distance of movement.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help remembering the interstellar travel in Kunlun Mountain, which seems to be almost the same as now.

He often tells very weird stories ~ www.readwn.com ~ for these sailors with little knowledge, from some religious fables to specific scientific principles.

Although most of the content is incomprehensible, these sailors also seem to be very interesting. It was the captain, the old Duncan, and others, who always showed an intriguing expression. I don't know where this young man looks so many books.

"Master, do you have a dream?" A sailor who had read the book a little, respectfully, asked curiously. When he asked this question, he was beaten by his surrounding colleagues.

"You are not nonsense! Of course, you want to make more money, please your beautiful wife! It is best to marry a princess!"

All the sailors laughed.

远 Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "Of course it is necessary to make money. Without money, nothing can be done. But in the final course, the first is the direction of science and technology, and the second is the direction of society."

However, it is difficult in every direction ...

The first stop is the so-called "Getang City", which arrived in 21 days, a city that produces spices and mushrooms. The climate here is hotter than Boulder, about 32 degrees Celsius.

On the shore, all the sailors were addicted to churches, taverns, gambling houses, and brothels, and all the gold coins just issued were suddenly exhausted.

The second stop was "Malfa", which arrived in 49 days, where a large amount of "sweet grass", a very strange algae creature, followed the warm ocean current, floated over from the west, and casually plucked it into the water. Take.

Their family's candy factory is here.
