"Bow correction! Right rudder 3, rudder 2... Left rudder 2, vertical!"
“Add to the traction cable!”
"Steam traction starts, abandons rudders, traction sail!"
"Valkyrie reverses!"
"Enter the water gate of the stern building! The traction is stable, the ship posture is stable!"
"The first phase is in place, ready to access the dry dock, and the unit stops!"
"Raising the gondola mast!"
"Dry dock is ready, pull start, pass through the dock!"
"The traction is stable, the ship posture is stable, Valkyrie enters the dock room!"
"Download the gate and pump the drainage equipment to warm the truck!"
"Pumping begins!"
With the roar of the rumbling steam water pump operation, the two-hour entry action was finally completed.
Half an hour later, the side pier was exposed to the water, and Valkyrie hung up in the air under the support of the side pier and the keel pier, and then she officially stopped.
This is Miami. More detailed is Jackdaw Town in the Miami area. And more precisely, it is located in Jackdaw Town, affiliated to the General Asset Management Company and run by the Maritime Group. It is the Manufacturing Department No. 1 Dock of the Drake Ship Development Research Center, which is under the leadership of the Maritime Group.
Around mid-1783, while buying the Miami area, Lorraine passed a non-profit development plan code-named "Future" at the enlarged meeting of the board of directors. It is expected that in 30 years, a huge sum of 5 million pounds was invested to establish the leading position of the Drake business empire in the future maritime field.
The core components of this program are the Ship Development Research Center at Lorraine's feet and the University of Miami, which will be recruited from the advanced class of the Chamber of Commerce School, and will begin recruiting students from the world next year, respectively, pointing to technology and talent.
The startup ship development center has seven research rooms, including two major ship design research rooms named "Flying Scissors" and "Fearless" projects, the sail power research room that cooperates with the fly shear program, and the metal ship material research room that cooperates with the Fearless Plan, the new naval gun research room, the steam power research room and the automatic fire control research room.
The center is also equipped with three unconventional and highly mechanized manufacturing docks of 80 meters, 60 meters and 30 meters.
The Dock No. 1 that Valkyrie entered is 80 meters, and there are two more 120 meters and 200 meters in the plan. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed within 15 years based on the scientific research progress of the research office.
After the pumping, Valkyrie sailors got off the boat with a smile, and soon gathered a group of people from three or five, and walked out with their arms around.
Yacharin walked in front of everyone, Lorraine, Cron, Henna and Noah walked in the end.
After jumping off the boat, Lorraine looked back at Valkyrie's port side: "Although I've seen it several times, every time I look, my heart will still thump."
Clun Li pointed to the most conspicuous one in a large crater and said: "In the same position, the first shot was thirty-two pounds of armor-breaking, the second shot was thirty-two pounds of shell damage, and then another 18 pounds hit the bull's-eye... If the eighteen pounds were replaced with twenty-four pounds, our powder compartment would be pierced."
"It will definitely break through, and it will most likely ignite gunpowder..."
"Thank God, let us escape!"
Lorraine patted Cron's arm: "How about it, is there a corresponding reinforcement draft?"
"Prepare to install a part of the metal endoskeleton to enhance the safety of the artillery and the artillery car with steel cables."
"A few steel cables can prevent the artillery from overturning?"
"No, at most, it can only prevent the barrel from running around, and it is completely useless for the forty-eight-pound mortar. If it wants to penetrate the bulkhead, it just needs to fire itself."
"What an exciting speech..." Lorraine sighed, "How long will it take to complete the renovation?"
"If it's just restored to its original state, it will take 90 days if it needs to be modified accordingly."
"90 days...that is, there will be a whole three months that cannot go out to sea, and the holiday is so long..." Lorraine sighed, "Hena, will your heart beat?"
"Yes." Henna replied without hesitation, "Only people's hearts are not beating."
...
Leaving the dock is Miami in Drake.
Because I know the future scale of Miami, when designing the town, Lorraine boldly applied the functional town planning.
Entering the Bay of Biscay and crossing the Island of Biscay, Lian's core estuary town is located on the beach of the Miami River Estuary.
She faces Virginia across the sea, and is in the center of a pure white, Rococo-like town hall, surrounded by a garden market, a estuary church, town council and a Labor Square expected to be used as a future General Union.
These four core buildings have been built in the southeast, west and north of the city hall. The other four rectangular plots that the monks have vacant divide the town into three horizontal and three vertical [well] shapes.
Now three communities have been completed in Hekou Town. Relying on the research center, university and dock that was put into operation in advance, the population of Hekou Town exceeded 2,000 at the beginning of the year and welcomed the first local newborn in March.
Continue north along the coast, 18 kilometers away from Hekou Town is the college town with the University of Miami as the core. There are two colleges, the business school is located in the west of the town, and the Maritime School is located in the west of the town, close to the sea, and the scale is not large, but the Drake Chamber of Commerce Museum, which is of great significance to the Chamber of Commerce, is also located in this small town with a strong cultural and cultural surroundings.
Continue north from Academy Town to travel north for another 20 kilometers. It is the Jackdaw Town where Lorraine is now located.
This is already the middle section of the Bay of Biscay, the first formation of the direct fleet, the anchor port and the ship development research center, all settled here. Therefore, this place is also regarded as the key place of Lianzhen.
Jackdaw Town also has an important component, located 5 kilometers north of the town, a beautiful seaside on the back of the lake and the sea, which is called Pansy Manor.
Almost all the high-rise drake chambers of commerce have built their own mansions there, covering a vast area and in different styles, occasionally dotted with pastures and farms run by the chambers of commerce, and villages where old Drakes gathered who do not like the cramped towns. The grass hills are full of vitality.
Lian Town has an important component, Miami Beach.
Miami Beach is the outline of the eastern edge of Biscay Bay, a huge and flat impact sandbar.
It is the commercial port in the Miami area. The General Chamber of Commerce built a giant port with 37 plank roads and 116 large and medium-sized berths there. More than 100 chambers of commerce from Baishang Association have established and operated the property there.
After more than two years of development and warming up, this place has become one of the most prosperous commercial hubs connecting North America and the Caribbean.
The development of Jackdaw Town is Guben, the college town is Peiyuan, the Hekou Town is Yangxin, and Miami Beach is in full swing. In just two years, the Miami area has shown the vigorous driving force of the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce.
The conditions here are unique.
The golden route is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is no peek at the powerful. Even the Indians who were scattered all over the land of Florida and regarded as conquest and obstacles, were just a group of honest and strong cheap labor in the eyes of Lorraine, who had no political intentions.
It is hard to say that Miami can make such a rapid progress, with poor wine, flour and used guns as the top priority!
The carriage walked in front of him with lazy steps, Adrei pulled the car door, and Lorraine helped Noah onto the carriage.
He turned to look at Henna, stroked her chest and made an invitation gesture.
Henna gently put Lorraine's hand: "After three months, what do you want to do?"
"Do nothing to do." Lorraine grimaced. "Since we went to Europe last October, we have been on the sea for eight months, just taking advantage of Valkyrie's overhaul."
"So beautiful lady, can I invite you to accompany me to visit this beautiful and peaceful Lianzhen?"
Lorraine was looking forward to a soft "honour" saying, but who knew that Henna stepped onto the carriage and sat next to Noah.
"We'll go shopping, what should Noya do?"
"Uh..." Lorraine held it in for a long time and stammered, "Actually, I also invited Noah not long ago..."
The carriage door closed with a snap.
Henna's cold voice came from the closed car: "Set out, Pansy Manor."
The employed carriage had no idea who Lorraine was, and he took the horse and whipped it as soon as he heard the order.
The carriage left...
The gentle summer sea breeze blows on Lorraine's temples, and Lorraine stands in the center of a pile of sights that are afraid of the world's chaos...
"I've seen the wild ghost! Even if Carmen is not here, can't I escape the proposition!!!"
Chapter completed!
