Please take a look, this is your 'Blackwatch'. "
Two days later, outside the Meyer Shipyard in Papen Castle, the general manager of the Meyer Shipyard pointed to the dock in front and said loudly to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen looked in the direction and saw a large group of people standing at the dock, looking at the dock that was like a hill by the sea.
The three tugboats pulled the towing rope at full power, pulling the steel cable as thick as an arm straight.
The other end of the steel cable was connected to a pitch-black behemoth in the dock.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered on the dock, forming a dense mass. These people were the local residents of Papen Castle. They had nothing to do, so they came to watch the launching ceremony of the cruise ships.
This was the news released by the Meyer Shipyard itself. It was said that they spent a lot of money to buy a lot of trending topics, announcing to the world that they had built the world's largest cruise ship – the Blackwatch.
At this time, looking at the large crowd on the dock, Chen Chen secretly thought that it was not just the people of the Mainland who liked to watch a good show. This should be a common trait of people all over the world.
As the tugboats continued to pull, the head of a black behemoth slowly emerged. The bow of the Blackwatch pulled by the tugboats appeared in everyone's field of vision.
There was a gasp from the microscopic crowd.
Black!
This oil tanker was painted a rare black color!
Not only that, but on both sides of the main deck, a huge logo could be seen. It was a black ball surrounded by yellow and red lights.
Under the highlights of the light, the black ball looked like a black hole...
This was the Blackwatch, which could also be called the Blackwatch.
As the hull of the ship appeared, the pressure became stronger. 404 meters long, 80 meters wide, and 75 meters high. This giant ship had completely broken the record of the Federation's cruise ships!
Half an hour later, when the stern was completely out of the dock, the crowd suddenly burst into an excited cheer. Chen Chen and the people of the shipyard standing on the high platform of the dock also applauded.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen Chen."
The general manager of the Meyer Shipyard shook hands with Chen Chen and joked, "This is the largest cruise ship in the Earth Federation so far. Even in the records of the world's largest ships, it ranks in the top ten. I heard that you previously rented the Symphony of the Seas, a cruise ship owned by the Royal Caribbean Company. Now, the ship you've ordered is much larger in both length and width. I wonder if you've recruited enough employees. Without one or two thousand employees, you won't be able to sail this ship."
Chen Chen nodded. "Fortunately, I've poached the captain of the Symphony of the Seas and the employees who are in charge of the engine navigation with a high salary. These people should be enough to operate the Blacklight."
"Then, then I'm relieved …"
The general manager of the Meyer Shipyard forced a smile.
Following the pleasant exchange between Chen Chen and the other party, the tugboat had pulled the Blacklight Cruise to a port several hundred meters away from the dock. Immediately, the crew members who had been waiting for a long time boarded the ship, including the white-bearded captain of the Symphony of the Seas, Bernard.
However, from the next second, he would be the captain of the Blacklight Cruise.
Finally, Chen Chen and the people of the Meyer Shipyard also boarded the ship. On the bow deck, a podium had already been prepared. All the employees on Chen Chen's ship automatically lined up and waited quietly for Chen Chen's speech.
Chen Chen had always been dismissive of such bureaucratic speeches. He spoke casually, then picked up a pair of scissors and directly cut the rope on the bow, letting a hanging bottle of champagne fall on the bow.
"Bang!"
With the sound of glass shattering, everyone applauded. This was the launching ceremony of the ship. The West had always used this form of "bottle tossing" to celebrate the official entry of a ship into the big family of the sea.
When designing this cruise ship, Chen Chen had added a core power room according to his own habits. After the entire ship's engine generated electricity, it would first be distributed through this place before being distributed to the engine and cabin.
The entire ship was installed with a total of 12 Leroy-Somer LSA62 generators, with a total power of 240,000 kilowatts, 2.4 times more than the Symphony of the Seas. Presumably, before the nuclear power plant was officially operated, this would be Chen Chen's largest power generation device.
In the next few days, Chen Chen passed through the checkpoints of various countries and directly left Germany on the Blacklight Cruise, from Heligoland Bay to the Strait of Dover, then sailed into the English Channel, and finally entered the Atlantic Ocean.
The Blacklight Cruise only took eight days to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean from Europe to Africa, and arrived at Walvis Bay.
Eight days flew by.
On the morning of the ninth day, as the Blacklight Cruise docked at Walvis Bay for the first time, Chen Chen also stepped off the cruise ship.
Qian Wenhuan was waiting on the dock as usual. He opened the door for Chen Chen and suddenly asked tentatively, "Boss, do you have any other uses for this ship recently?"
"Not for the time being. We'll talk about it after we recruit a group of people," Chen Chen replied.
"In that case, why don't we hold the press conference for the Eco Science City here?"
Qian Wenhuan was pleasantly surprised. "Right now, the newspapers all over the world are promoting the launch of the world's largest cruise ship. Taking advantage of this popularity, we can hold the press conference on the cruise ship. Wouldn't that better reflect the technology and financial strength of our company?"
"Sure, you can make the arrangements."
Chen Chen nodded nonchalantly. "When do you plan to hold the press conference?"
"In ten days, on the first of April," Qian Wenhuan replied.
"April Fool's Day press conference?"
Chen Chen smiled. "Very interesting."
"Then you..." Qian Wenhuan asked tentatively.
"I won't be participating."
Chen Chen patted Qian Wenhuan on the shoulder and said in an encouraging tone, "I'll be counting on you here. Good luck, I'm rooting for you."
"..."
Cheng Cao was still playing the role of a mute driver. After driving Chen Chen back to the research center, Chen Chen went directly to the sixth floor of the experimental building, in the hidden human cloning laboratory.
“Boss！”
"Boss!"
Inside the laboratory, a group of researchers was bustling about. When they saw Chen Chen, they immediately saluted him. Hannibal and Li Lei also came to greet him.
Chen Chen nodded and looked at the hundreds of huge cylinders behind him.
These cylinders stood at the back of the laboratory. They were the life incubators that Chen Chen had been using.
These life incubators were much larger than the previous ones. They had a diameter of about forty centimeters and a height of two meters. They were made entirely of tempered glass.
Inside the life incubator, there was a turbid, pale yellow liquid. At this time, a large number of bubbles were constantly seeping out of the liquid, then gurgled to the surface.
Through the yellow liquid inside the glass, one could faintly see a figure curled up like a fetus floating up and down inside.
These people seemed to be teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old, but the strange thing was that there were umbilical cords growing out of their navels.
The end of these umbilical cords was connected to a large number of pipes, extending from the inside of the life incubator, all the way to a huge instrument at the back.
Looking at the large number of life incubators in front of him, some of them were cloned bodies prepared for the members of the eleven Disciple families, while the rest were clones that Chen Chen used for experiments.
A long time ago, Chen Chen had an idea:
In order to prevent these clones from developing thoughts, they would be injected with targeted inhibitors like serotonin to inhibit brain development. In the end, their brains would completely shrink, forming a cavity in the brain.
However, the strange thing was that their cerebellum and brain stem were unharmed.
In that case, Chen Chen thought that if these clones were implanted with the God chip, would it be possible to control them to act like ordinary people?
Therefore, Chen Chen immediately asked Hannibal to carry out the "hormone regulation experiment". Through the regulation of hormones, this group of clones would grow into adult form within a year.
At this time, it seemed that the experiment was a success.
