Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the entrance of the Steel Hammer Shipyard, the workers who were busy all stopped and stared at Javi who was walking towards him with a look of surprise.  They all heard the conversation just now and learned Javi's identity, but they still couldn't believe it and were whispering about it.  "Is this true or false? The old man actually claimed to be the master shipbuilder Javi. I have heard of his name a long time ago. I heard that his shipbuilding skills are quite high and he can even build special ships.  "Who knows if it's true or not? Maybe he's just bragging. Why would a big shot like that come to a place like Jingtie Island?" "It would be terrible if it's true. We talk about him all the time."  He said bad things about him and even chased him away" All these whispers fell into An Rui's ears, which made him feel a little funny. These workers must have regarded Jia Wei as an ordinary old man. Who would have thought that they always like to watch this?  The lively old man has such a high status and has superb shipbuilding skills.  Although Jia Wei was old, he was not deaf. He also heard these whispers. He walked towards the group of workers and yelled: "Hey, little bastards, you guys are always talking behind their backs.  I thought I couldn't hear my bad words. Let me tell you, I'm just an adult who doesn't remember the faults of others. I'm too lazy to argue with you little bastards. In fact, I heard everything you said. Let me tell you one more thing.  The mistakes I made during shipbuilding were simply heinous, ruining one good ship after another. This time I will personally supervise the construction of a new ship with you. Then you can learn from it, even if you have to learn from me.  One-tenth of the skill will be enough for you to use for a lifetime." The workers had mixed reactions. Those who believed in Jia Wei came over and said some good things, while those who did not believe in Jia Wei remained silent.  Under the gaze of this group of workers, An Rui and his party entered the dock. It was much noisier than outside and there were more workers.  Javi was quite familiar with this place and led directly to the captain's office and knocked on the door.  The door opened, and a middle-aged man leaned out. He looked to be about forty years old. He was well-dressed, his hair and beard were neatly trimmed, and he had a hammer-shaped pin made of pure gold at his collar.  .  When he saw that the person knocking on the door was Jia Wei, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Dawson, what brought you here? Normally you wouldn't even come in and sit down when I invite you."  "Of course I'm too lazy to come over and disturb you when I'm free." Jia Wei shrugged, turned around, and said to An Rui, "An Rui, this is the director of the factory. He and I knew each other. When I went to sea,  , He is just a little kid from the neighborhood." With a smile on his face, An Rui stepped forward to shake hands with the factory director and said a few polite words.  Jia Wei acted as a middleman, introducing each other's identities to both parties and introducing them to each other.  The factory director seemed very enthusiastic. After shaking hands with the consolation, he immediately invited everyone into the room to talk and ordered someone to make a few cups of coffee to entertain the guests.  But Anrui didn¡¯t come here just to drink coffee. Before the chair under his butt was warmed, he revealed his purpose of coming and expressed his intention to ask Javi to build a ship here.  After hearing this, the factory director seemed very surprised. He knew Jia Wei¡¯s identity and naturally knew that Jia Wei had retired long ago and no longer built ships.  Privately, he had invited Javi several times, but they were all rejected.  Regarding this doubt, Javi's explanation is: "I just made an exception on a whim. You can't expect me to return to my old job and continue to be a shipbuilder. After I finish building this ship, I will continue to live my comfortable life."  "Well. It seems that I can only give up the idea of ??hiring you, but it is not a pity. Even if you go back to your old business, you will not choose this small shipyard, but you will choose the ones before.  Old employer." The factory director laughed at himself, then turned to look at An Rui, "Mr. An Rui, tell me what kind of sailboat you plan to build, and I will prepare the shipbuilding materials for you as soon as possible.  For Master Jia Wei's sake, I guarantee that every piece of wood used to build the ship is carefully selected. " "What I want is a small ship. One mast is enough. As for the material, it is light and flexible.  On the other hand, I want to specify some special materials. The main body of the hull should be made of 'Iron Wood', the keel should be made of 'Thunder Demon Tree', the canvas should be woven with 'Black Widow Spider Silk', and the cannon should be made of 'Deep Sea Fine Iron'.  I know that these materials are valuable, and the deposit is far from enough to purchase these materials, but don¡¯t worry, I will find some ways to get some of them myself, and I will make up for the rest of the construction costs as soon as possible.  ." An Rui talked eloquently and expressed all his thoughts.  "Ironwood, Thunder Demon Tree, Black Widow Spider Silk, Deep Sea Fine Ironthese are all quite good materials,"These materials are used to build ships, and the built ships should reach the bronze level.  These materials are all valuable, and if added together, they should be worth about five hundred gold coins.  Especially deep sea fine iron, this kind of fine iron is rare and difficult to buy on the market. It is the most expensive among these materials.  "When the factory director said this, he put on a somewhat unsure tone and said, "An Rui, are you sure you can get these materials?  Materials like deep-sea fine iron have always been priceless, and even if you have money, you can't buy them.  " "Don't worry, since I chose these materials, I will definitely get them.  These materials are all specialties of Jingtie Island, and you can always get them as long as you find a way.  Among these materials, ironwood is the easiest to buy. You must have a lot of it here. Let's use this material to make the hull first.  As for other materials, I will send them over one after another to ensure that the shipbuilding progress will not be delayed.  "An Rui said lightly. "Well, let's do as you said. We will use ironwood to make the hull first, and then we will make the remaining parts after you send the materials.  "The factory director nodded and said. "Yes, the materials you chose are in line with my wishes. If you use ordinary materials to build a ship, it will be meaningless, and the same goes for finding others to make it.  Only by using these high-quality materials to build ships can I bring out my shipbuilding skills.  "Jia Wei interjected, looking very satisfied. "The shipbuilding matter was settled in this way, and several people discussed many details and labor issues. The Steel Hammer Shipyard opened its doors for business, so naturally it cannot do a loss-making business.  A certain fee was required. For Jia Wei's sake, the factory director made a discount and lowered the price to the lowest level. After finishing the business, it was time to have dinner.  Yi, invited An Rui and others to have a meal. By the time An Rui finished everything and left the shipyard, it was already afternoon. He and Sha Fei walked side by side on the beach and started to walk back, leaving the two behind.  A series of deep or shallow footprints. The waves hit the beach in layers, washing away the traces on it. Occasionally, some shellfish and crabs will be washed ashore, and small things on the shore will also be dragged back into the sea.  The sound of clattering is like a natural melody. ¡°Everything went smoothly today. It seems that we have to celebrate again today.  " An Rui said with a smile as he walked. He turned his head while speaking and glanced at Sophie's side face. Under the outline of the afternoon sun, Sophie's side face showed charming curves, whether it was her forehead, nose or  The lips have very soft curves. The eyes are like sea waves, glowing with light, and are decorated with long and curved eyelashes. ¡°Even if you want to celebrate, you can¡¯t drink too much. Last time.  I still remember the lesson.  "After Sophie's words came out, probably thinking of her embarrassment this morning, her expression froze for a moment, and an undetectable blush appeared on her cheeks. "That's also a lesson for me. I promise I won't drink so much again.  Drinking.  "An Rui touched his chin habitually and smiled bitterly. "Where are we going next?  Should we go back to the hotel or go somewhere else?  "Sophie changed the subject intentionally or unintentionally. "If we don't go back to the hotel yet, we have other things to do.  As you have heard before, we still lack many kinds of shipbuilding materials, and we have to find a way to get these materials.  These materials are all valuable. If we buy them with money, we don't have the financial resources at all, so we can only think of other ways.  "    "any solution?  " "What else can be done? Of course, it is to go directly to the place of origin to obtain the materials.  Thunder Demon Tree, Black Widow Spider Silk, Deep Sea Fine Iron all of these materials are available on Fine Iron Island, and anyone with the skills can get them.  Fortunately, we both happen to be capable people.  "An Rui smiled and winked at Sophie. "Well, I will try my best to help you and I will definitely get those materials.  "Sophie said as she patted the scimitar hanging on her waist, her body became more heroic. "This is easier said than done. You have to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid we have to do this.  Suffered a lot.  Among these materials, black widow spider silk is the easiest to obtain. We will collect this material first, and then look for other materials.  " "Where can I collect black widow spider silk?  " "The black widow is a large poisonous spider. The black widow silk refers to the spider web it weaves, and it also stores some in its belly.  There is a group of black widows living on Jingtie Island, and we have to go to their habitat to collect spider silk.  Before going, you have to buy some antidotes just in case.  It's better to do everything sooner rather than later. We'll buy the antidote later.  " "To be honest, I'm a little afraid of spiders.  "A trace of worry appeared on Sophie's face. In the past, she was a female pirate who killed without blinking an eye.A leopard is brave with ambition, but after losing his memory, these courage also disappeared.  "Everyone will be afraid of such a big spider, but there is no way, we have to restrain this fear. Think about what you just said, you said you would do your best to help me." An Rui encouraged.  "Okay. I'll try my best." "By the way, before arriving at the black widow's habitat, we have to pass through another dangerous area, and the danger there is also not small." "What is that place?" "Misty forest, one visibility  Less than ten yards away, it is shrouded in fog all year round, and there is a murderous intention hidden in the fog." An Rui's face became a little more solemn when he spoke.
