Chapter 484

"Bow correction! Right rudder 3, rudder 2... Left rudder 2, vertical!"

"Connect the traction cable!"

"Steam traction start, abandon the rudder, tow and sail!"

"Varkiri, back up!"

"Poop water inlet! Stable traction, stable ship attitude!"

"The first stage is in place, ready to connect to the dry dock, and the unit stops!"

"Lift the mast!"

"The dry dock is ready, the traction is started, and pass through the dock mouth!"

"The traction is stable, the ship attitude is stable, and varkiri enters the dock room!"

"Lower the gate and heat up the pumping and drainage equipment!"

"Start pumping!"

Accompanied by the roar of the operation of the steam pump, the two-hour warehousing action finally came to an end.

Half an hour later, the side pier came out of the water, and valkiri hung up under the support of the side pier and keel pier, which officially stopped.

This is Miami. More specifically, it is Hanya town in Miami. To be more exact, it is located in Hanya Town, which is subordinate to the General Assembly asset management company and operated by the maritime group.

Around the middle of 1783, while buying the Miami area, Lorraine passed the non-profit development plan codenamed [future] at the expanded meeting of the board of directors. It is expected to spend a total of £ 5 million in 30 years to establish Drake's leading position in the future maritime field.

The core components of this plan are the ship development research center at the foot of Lorraine and the University of Miami, which is upgraded from the advanced class of the chamber of commerce school and will begin to recruit students to the world next year, pointing to technology and talents respectively.

The newly established ship development center has seven research rooms, including two ship type design and research rooms named "flying shear" plan and "fearless" plan by Lorraine, sail power research room cooperating with flying shear plan, metal ship material research room, new naval gun research room, steam power research room and automatic fire control research room cooperating with fearless plan.

The center is also equipped with three unconventional and highly mechanized manufacturing docks of 80m, 60m and 30m.

The No. 1 dock that valkiri entered is 80 meters, and there are still two 120 meters and 200 meters in the plan. No accident, it will be completed successively within 15 years according to the scientific research progress of the research laboratory.

After pumping, the sailors in varkiri got off the ship with a smile. They soon gathered in groups and walked out with their shoulders crossed.

Acharin is at the front of everyone, and Lorraine, Karen, henna and Noah are at the end.

After jumping out of the boat, Lorraine looked back at the port side of valkiri's thousands of holes: "although I've seen it several times, every time I see it, my heart will still beat."

Ke ethics naturally pointed to the most conspicuous one in a large crater and said, "in the same position, the first shot was 32 pounds to break armor, the second shot was 32 pounds to hurt the shell, and then there was an 18 pound bull's eye... If we replaced 18 pounds with 24 pounds, there would be no accident that our powder chamber would be perforated."

"It will definitely break down, and nine times out of ten it will ignite gunpowder..."

"Thank God we escaped!"

Lorraine patted Karen on the arm: "how about the corresponding reinforcement draft?"

"Prepare to install part of the metal endoskeleton, cooperate with the steel cable to strengthen the safety of the gun and gun truck."

"A few cables can stop the gun from rollover?"

"No, it can only prevent the barrel from running around at most, and it is of no use to the 48 pound mortar. If it wants to penetrate the bulkhead, it just needs to shoot itself out."

"What an exciting speech..." Lorraine said with emotion, "how long can the repair be completed?"

"It only takes 30 days to restore to the original state. If you want to make corresponding modifications, it also takes 90 days for everything to go smoothly."

"90 days... That means you won't be able to go to sea for three months. The holiday is really long..." Lorraine sighed, "Haina, can you beat your heart?"

"Yes," answered Haina without hesitation, "only the heart of the dead doesn't jump."

……

Leaving the dock is Drake's Miami.

Knowing the future scale of Miami, Lorraine boldly applied the functional town planning when designing the town.

Enter the bay of Biscay and cross the island of Biscay. Hekou Town, the core of Lian Town, is located on the beach of Miami estuary.

Across the sea from Virginia Island, the center is a pure white Rococo style town hall, surrounded by garden market, bayou church, Town Council and labor square expected to be used as the future Federation of trade unions.

The four completed core buildings are located in the southeast and northwest of the city hall, and the other four vacant rectangular plots together divide the town into three horizontal and three vertical [well] shapes.

Today, three communities have been completed in Hekou town. Relying on the research center, University and wharf put into operation in advance, the population of Hekou town exceeded 2000 at the beginning of the year and ushered in the first local newborn in March.

It continues northward along the coast and is 18 kilometers away from Hekou town. It is a college town with the University of Miami as the core. There are two major colleges. The business school is in the west of the town, near the hill, and the maritime school is in the west of the town, close to the sea. The Drake chamber of Commerce Museum, which is of great significance to the chamber of Commerce, is also located in this town with rich cultural surroundings.

Continue northward along the coast from Xueyuan town for another 20 kilometers to Hanya town where Lorraine is now located.

It is already in the middle of the bay of Biscay, where all the stations, anchor ports and ship development research centers of the first fleet directly under it have settled. Therefore, it is also regarded as an important place of Lianzhen.

There is also an important component in Hanya Town, which is located 5 kilometers north of the town, a beautiful beach back to the lake and the sea, which is called pansy manor.

Almost all the high-level dignitaries of Drake chamber of Commerce have built their own luxury houses there. Each house covers a vast area and has different styles. Sometimes it is dotted with pastures and farms operated by the chamber of Commerce, as well as the villages gathered by old Drake who don't like the narrow town. The grass and hills are full of vitality.

Lianzhen also has an important component, Miami Beach.

Miami Beach is the outline of the eastern edge of Biscay Bay, a huge and flat impact sandbar.

There is a commercial port in Miami. The General Chamber of Commerce has built a huge port with 37 plank roads and 116 large and medium-sized berths there. More than 100 chambers of Commerce of the hundred business association have purchased and operated there.

After more than two years of development, it has become one of the most prosperous business hubs connecting North America and the Caribbean.

Hanya town has consolidated its foundation, college town Peiyuan, Hekou town Yangxin, and Miami Beach has benefited from its development in just two years. Miami 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. Without the prying eyes of foreign powers, even the Indians scattered all over Florida and regarded as conquering obstacles are just a group of simple, honest and strong cheap labor in the eyes of Lorraine who has no political intention.

Frankly speaking, inferior wine, flour and used guns should take the lead in Miami's new moon!

The carriage clattered to the front with lazy steps. Edley opened the door and Lorraine helped Noah into the carriage.

He turned to look at Haina, stroked his chest and made an invitation gesture.

Haina gently took Lorraine's hand: "three months, what do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything." Lorraine made a face. "Since we went to Europe last October, we have been floating on the sea for eight months, just taking advantage of the valkiri overhaul to slow down."

"So beautiful lady, can I invite you to accompany me around this beautiful and peaceful Lianzhen?"

Lorraine looked forward to a soft whisper of "the most honor". Who knows, as soon as Haina stepped on the carriage and sat next to Noah.

"Let's go shopping. What about Noah?"

"Er..." Lorraine held back for a long time and hesitated, "in fact, I invited Noah not long ago..."

The carriage door slammed shut.

Hena's cool voice came from the closed carriage: "let's go, pansy manor."

The hired carriage didn't know who Lorraine was. As soon as it heard the instructions, it beat the horse and whipped.

The carriage is gone

The gentle summer sea breeze is blowing on Luolin's temples. Luolin is standing in the center of a pile of sight for fear of chaos in the world

"See the wild ghost! Even if Carmen is not here, I can't escape the deadly problem!!!!!"
