Chapter 45 Secret Agreement
With all the money ready, we left the bank. First we came to the transportation team that helps players transport goods. We spent 1,000 crystal coins and hired 0 carriages and drivers. After that, we went to the carpenter’s workshop and spent 16,000 crystal coins to customize 1,600 large wooden boxes. Finally we returned to the port with these items.
Very carefully, I put all the gold into wooden boxes and loaded them into the cars. Each car contained 8 large wooden boxes. Because the gold was so heavy, these four-wheeled carriages were almost crushed to pieces! Fortunately, I had the foresight to hire two-horse carts. If it had been a one-horse cart, I probably wouldn’t have considered moving it! But despite this, we still had to prepare two sailors for each carriage to push it, especially when starting up. If the carriage is not allowed to move, it cannot be pulled by horses alone!
Although 1,600 boxes is already a lot, we still can't transport too much gold. After running back and forth more than 10 times, I finally transported all the gold. After I exchanged all the gold for crystal coins, the system actually prompted me that the amount of currency I carried exceeded the upper limit. I had to divide the money into Rose and finally let it go! I used to think that the system had no upper limit on the amount of currency that could be carried, but now I know it was because we were too poor at that time!
"What are we doing now?" Jin Coin asked.
"It's best to send those cannons on board for imitation first!" Ziyue reminded us.
"Yes, this should be resolved first!" I also agree with Ziyue's opinion. After all, it is very dangerous for the enemy to have these long-range cannons when we don’t have them!
"What about the Indians on the boat?"
"We will work separately. Ying, Bai Ling, Qing Wu, and Passerby A will interrogate those Indians. The others will follow me to the weapons shop."
"Okay, it's settled, we'll go our separate ways." Ying led them away. I took the rest of the people to the weapons shop.
"Master blacksmith! Please come here!" I directed the sailors to lower the long-range cannon.
The blacksmith who sold us the cannon last time ran out quickly. "It's you! What happened this time?"
"First of all, I'll pay you back the money I owed you for the cannonballs last time!" Most of the cannonballs we brought out last time we went out to sea were exchanged for the note from the old man at the dock. Now that we have money, of course we have to pay back the money first! "Secondly, I want you to take a look at this thing!"
I stepped aside to give way to the long-range cannon that was blocking my path behind me. The blacksmith ran over immediately after seeing the cannon. He climbed up to the cannon base to take a look, and then opened the cannon hall to take a look. After waiting for a while, I climbed down excitedly. "Where did you get this?"
"This was taken from the Indian warship that we sunk. How about it?"
"Foreign goods?" The blacksmith looked at the cannon again in surprise. "It's indeed not our technology! What do you want me to do by bringing this thing here?"
"We want to see if you can imitate the same thing." I quickly explained why. "The range and power of this thing are much higher than our cannons. We are very passive on the sea. If you can imitate it, it will be a great help to our coastal defense!"
The blacksmith looked at the cannon and said: "Imitation should be possible, but I will definitely have to dismantle several cannons for research before imitation. Do you only have this one?"
"It's okay. I still have a lot of cannons. I'll ask people to bring them here."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Bring them all. A few more samples will make it easier to make!" the blacksmith said excitedly: "When the time comes, we can incorporate our country's technology into it, and maybe we can make a better cannon than this one." .”
"Can you tell me how long it will take?"
"Two days should be enough. I've seen this thing. The process is not complicated. It just uses a lot of things we didn't expect. A replica can be produced in two days!"
"Thank you then, let's take our leave first!" He told a few sailors to transport the remaining long-range cannons here, and we left the weapons shop first.
The target now is the dock. It seems that the Bilinghao needs a makeover! When the old man saw us driving the warship into the dock, he started to scold us. He kept saying that we had ruined his masterpiece and he was very angry.
But when we gave him the remaining gold, he immediately stopped talking. He is such an old money addict! "Hey! What on earth do you want me to do?"
"That's right, we need you to help us modify the cabin of the Biling." I summoned Aina and took out two magic shields to demonstrate to him. "We hope you can install this thing on the outside of the ship as a third layer of armor. And we need to open a hole under the cabin, and then use this thing to seal the hole."
"Have a hole under the boat? Will it not sink?" The old man didn't understand what I meant.
Grandma explained it to me. "This magic shield is waterproof. After opening a hole, install the magic shield at the hole. People can come in and out, but water can't!"
"Where did you get this kind of thing?" the old man asked, stroking the magic shield.
"This is a secret! Just do it anyway!" I continued: "Is there any way you can increase the speed of our ship? The speed of this ship is still not fast enough!"
Before the old man could say anything, Grandma screamed first. "Why didn't the master tell us earlier that he needed to speed up the ship?"
"What?"
"We in Atlantis have underwater propellers! They are much better than your propellers!"
"What? You have such a good thing and you don't tell me?"
"You didn't say you wanted it? How did I know you liked it! Besides, didn't you see that our Flying Fish speedboat is propelled by that thing! You said it at the time!"
"Okay, okay, can you get it?" I was too lazy to argue with her!
"Yes, but the Bi Ling is too big. The ones we have are very small. If you are not in a hurry, wait two or three days and let them build a larger one!"
"Okay, then you go back and inform them now, and say that I will trade with them for the magic crystal!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" A Di Na jumped into the water and swam away. I really envy her for having the hind limbs that can transform into human legs when she goes into the water, and when she goes ashore, she can transform into a tail! If I had one, I wouldn’t have to learn how to paddle a dog!
"Then I'll leave these things to you!" I pointed at the magic shields. "Also, change the entire bottom floor into a large connected cabin, and I will put some small boats in it. Use magic shields to make 4 exits for me. It is best to use 3 layers of magic shields, which is safer. Also, leave space for my magic thruster at the stern of the ship. I don’t need those propeller rooms, and they will all be replaced by gun rooms. By the way, I will also seal the windows of the gun room with a magic shield." Use the grinder. Once the window is sealed with the shield, it will be waterproof. Even if water floods the window next time you transport gold, it will be fine. No water will get in anyway! "By the way, help me design the ballast used to keep the bottom of the ship stable so that it can be moved so that I can take it off." Hehe, when the time comes, throw away all the ballast and use gold bricks to ballast it, which can also be used as an emergency gold reserve. use! "Okay, that's it. How much does it cost?"
The old man lowered his head and calculated for a long time before saying to me: "1.5 million crystal coins!"
"What? Are you stealing money?"
"This is still a discounted price!" The old man looked aggrieved. "Look, your ship is so big. It's not easy to re-armor it from beginning to end! Also, your design almost required me to modify more than half of the original cabins. You know, modification is more troublesome than construction. ! If I hadn’t seen you as an acquaintance, I wouldn’t have done it!”
"Okay, okay!" I reluctantly paid the money first. This old man is so evil!
After explaining the matter at the shipyard, I will first contact you about the magic crystal. According to the transaction, the amount of magic crystals I need is quite a lot. Clark said that Domingue had it, so I had no choice but to go find him!
I turned around and said to everyone: "I'm going to contact the magic crystal, so don't follow me. Everyone, hurry up and practice leveling. I will contact you when I come back."
"Okay!" Ziyue said first: "Then let's do other things first!"
Everyone left with Ziyue, but Bingbing and Meigui decided to go with me. Of course I can't refuse the request of these two beauties! Besides, which man would dislike having so many beauties around him?
After handing each of them a teleportation scroll of the Lost City, I turned the teleportation ring and returned to the Lost City. However, I stood at the teleportation station and waited for a long time and did not see Rose or the others coming out. Is there any mistake? It takes so long to teleport!
I couldn't wait any longer, so I grabbed the teleportation ring and planned to teleport it back to see what was going on, when the teleportation array flashed with white light and two people appeared. Bingbing held Rose's arm and rested her head on her shoulder. I vaguely felt something was wrong, but I didn't know what it was specifically, so I'll forget about it for now if I don't know clearly!
"Let's go!" I summoned Ye Ying to jump on the horse and stretched out my hand to pull Bingbing up. But when I reached out again to pull the rose, she actually summoned the white wolf I gave her to ride on it. .
"It's too crowded for three people to sit together. You two can sit down! I just have Qiuqiu!" After Rose said this, she directed the white wolf to run out first.
Seeing Rose running away, I had no choice but to gallop my horse to follow. It seemed that something must have happened that took Bingbing and Rose so long to come over. But obviously neither of them planned to tell me, and there was nothing I could do. They couldn't I would like to say that my asking is in vain!
