Chapter 394 (1/2)

Roland watched the second cement boat slip into the water with satisfaction His subjects cheered loudly

The two cement boats looked simple in terms of structure, but they were actually much better than previous models, namely the Littletown A framework of dense steel reinforcement had been added to the internal structure, and the quality of the ceth of the boat was thus several tireater than the Littletown

To expedite the shi+pbuilding process, Roland reserved slots and ports for steaines, transned the hull This way, laborers only needed to weld bolts into thepieces together like a jigsaw puzzle

Meanwhile, the mold was now e not only guaranteed a high density of the poured concrete, thereby i the boat's waterproof performance, but it also ensured that each boat was almost exactly the sa the power systen of thesaer scarce these days Stea all the way to kiln feeding It was the only large-scale industrial project that did not rely on witches' abilities in Border Town

With ample materials, reliable molds and skilled laborers, the only factor that li rate of cement However, with the help of Paper's reaction acceleration ability, it only took one day (rather than the original one to two months) to launch a cement boat In other words, the shi+pyard could launch an unpowered vessel every two or three days if Roland wished to

If the speed of stea could catch up with that of crew training, he wouldfleet in a short period of time and fill the Redwater River with his own ce water”

That was the appeal of industrialization

Now that the hull had been completed, the next step would be the installation of power units The mechanical equipment was pretty much the same as those on the modified boats of the Chamber of Commerce at Crescent Moon Bay The craftsmen already had practical experience, so he didn’t need to worry about it

”I don't understand Why did you tell these things to subjects?” Nightingale asked

”To advertise the national power” Roland smiled faintly

”I'es the town has gone through” The prince stroked his chin ”You probably never expected a boatthe Littletown My subjects think the sareater sense of townshi+p It's a co in mentality, which can even turn into a belief that there's nothing they can’t achieve”

”I don't quite understand” Nightingale sounded a little confused

”You just see it as a anda, and that will do,” Roland smiled and said In this era, the nobilities only celebrated with civilians for big events or ceremonies, both of which were almost entirely noble affairs If it weren’t for the free food, many civilians wouldn’t attend Nevertheless, the cement boats were the combined work of hundreds of laborers, and they were part of the festivities
