Chapter 168: Don’t Go Far

"You want to repair the boat?"

Walking closer to the crowd, Dakai lowered his head and looked at Bai Hexiu, who was only as tall as his waist, and asked word by word.

"No, no, no."

Bai Hexiu shook his head like a rattle.

"I just want to change the paint, just want to change the paint."

Then Bai Hexiu leaned close to Gao Qiang's ear and whispered: "Uncle Dakai is the top shipbuilder in the burial ground, so don't ask Uncle Dakai to repair the boat, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

Gao Qiang nodded in agreement.

After all, it can be seen from Dakai's profile.

As a shipbuilder, he can't even understand the design blueprints of the glorious period passed down by his ancestors.

Presumably this is also related to the sixth effect of the Fallen Empire. New construction cannot be carried out during the Fallen Empire.

After all, it is still fallen.

Gao Qiang thought that in every era he had experienced, most of the people in the territory were more or less tired.

For example, in the ancient times, the ancient nobles could not do any work.

This kind of fatigue seems to increase with the advancement of the times, and now it has reached the stage of forgetting the skills of the ancestors.

If the times are further advanced, Gao Qiang guessed that this gap may continue to deepen.

Of course, the current attention should be focused on the present.

"Repainting is OK." Dakai stared at Bai Hexiu and said word by word.

"No, no, no, I won't bother you, uncle."

Bai Hexiu looked at Hai Youqin with a pleading look.

Hai Youqin covered her mouth and smiled softly, but still arranged a full set of repainting works for Bai Hexiu.

Dakai was not counted in the employment.

In addition to Dakai, there are many other shipbuilders in the burial ground.

Although these shipbuilders have also forgotten the exquisite shipbuilding skills of their ancestors.

But they can still do the work of repainting.

Looking at the calculated amount of work in his hand.

Hai Youqin immediately said to Gao Qiang and others: "The total project time is more than six months, is it okay?"

"So long?"

Gao Qiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Hexiu.

It was a little unexpected that Bai Hexiu didn't exaggerate the time for repairs.

In the face of Gao Qiang's question, Hai Youqin nodded as a matter of course.

"Based on working two hours a day and three days a week, six months should be a conservative estimate."

Gao Qiang held his forehead.

Well, he didn't take the mentality of the people into account.

In the Stone Age, most people were unwilling to do any kind of work during the Fallen Empire.

Now in the Age of Exploration, they are still willing to do some work.

Gao Qiang felt that just for this reason, he might have to kowtow to everyone.

"Or, you can choose someone who doesn't need to rest to complete the repair work."

Hai Youqin glanced at Dakai, as if hinting at something.

"Uncle is a workaholic."

Dakai didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.

"That, that..."

Bai Hexiu hesitated.

It wasn't until he glanced at Gao Qiang that his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had an idea.

"Uncle Dakai's skills will be very much needed by the Lord!"

"What?"

Seeing that Gao Qiang didn't understand, Bai Hexiu pulled Gao Qiang aside and whispered, "Don't you want to go to sea?"

Pointing to the burial ground, Bai Hexiu continued, "Look, aren't these all ships?"

"With a little repair, we can repair a fleet for you."

That makes sense!

But Gao Qiang was obviously not overwhelmed by this sentence.

Perhaps other lords would worry that their ships are not good enough, but Gao Qiang's main problem is obviously not this.

It's that no one in his territory is willing to go on a long journey with him.

Sasha is easy to trick out, and Jiuluo seems to be easy to talk to.

But if it's just Sasha and Jiuluo, no one will drive the ship.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiang suddenly noticed that there seemed to be no other active ships docked in the burial ground.

In theory, he should still have two dreadnoughts and dozens of battleships.

"Hey, are you talking about them?"

After asking Hai Youqin, Hai Youqin showed a funny expression.

"The captains heard that you were going on a long journey, and they ran away overnight."

"You might be able to find them if you go around the islands."

Well, you really don't want to go on a long journey?

Gao Qiang's face darkened.

From the performance of the existing warships, it can be seen how reluctant his Buddhist subjects were to go on a long journey before they awakened.

In this case, even if Gao Qiang could build a new fleet in this burial ground, he couldn't drive it out at all.

It seems that he can only put his hopes on his own path.

Gao Qiang opened the Miracle Path and looked at the unique ability he obtained when he advanced last time.

[Interference]

This ability allows Gao Qiang to reasonably give things he doesn't need to the forces he interferes with.

I originally thought it was no different from a transaction.

Now that he has an interference target and opens this ability, Gao Qiang finds that this ability actually has its own independent small panel.

[Long Xianyao (interfered)]

[Gifted resources: None]

[Gifted ships: None]

[Leased leaders: None]

From this panel, Gao Qiang can adjust the support for the interference target according to his own will.

The lowest support is of course no support.

If there is no support, the target of interference will be completely useless except for the three times research speed.

This is certainly not what Gao Qiang wants.

Opening the items that can be donated, Gao Qiang saw the names of the three super dreadnoughts on the panel.

The Kingdom of the Past, the Shield of Eternal Sustainability, and the Star of Tomorrow.

The three super dreadnoughts seem to use different design concepts.

When Gao Qiang tried to drag the Shield of Eternal Sustainability to the donation panel, the donation failed as expected.

Gao Qiang's behavior seemed unreasonable in the eyes of the people.

Even through interference, unreasonable donations cannot be made.

And speaking of reasonableness...

Gao Qiang looked at the burial ground.

It should be reasonable to send some garbage out by yourself, right?

Of course, it was only garbage compared to the dreadnoughts.

In the burial ground, in addition to wooden ships, Gao Qiang saw some ironclad ships.

Although those ironclad ships were sealed, they may not be unusable after reasonable repairs.

Moreover, these are so-called garbage.

Giving them to the target that he interfered with is obviously a reasonable behavior.

In addition, Long Xianyao and Ye Na provided crew members, and he rented the leaders who were willing to go to sea with him to the two.

The idea of ​​freely going out to explore before awakening may really be realized in a roundabout way.

Seeing that Gao Qiang seemed to have come to his senses, Bai Hexiu breathed a sigh of relief.

But thinking that there should not be many people willing to accompany Gao Qiang on a long voyage, Bai Hexiu comforted him.

"Lord, you can go out without worry. As the fastest man on this sea, if you encounter danger, I will avenge you as soon as possible!"

Hmm, hm?

Gao Qiang looked a little weird.

Listening to Bai Hexiu's words, it seemed that something was wrong?
