After lunch, Tang En went straight to Brian and gave him a blueprint.
"Make a mold according to this specification and give it to Captain Hayley in the Black Rock Cavern."
"What's this?"
Brian looked at the blueprint and found it familiar. "It looks like an RPG launcher? So big? "
"It's a launcher, but it's not for personal use."
After a pause, Tang En said meaningfully, "Of course, it's even more powerful … It'll be great on the Heaven Breaker."
Brian's face turned green. "Let's make this clear first. Don't look for us for anything related to the heavens."
He still couldn't overcome his fear of the heavens.
"I won't."
Tang En smiled kindly. "Because I always think that dwarves riding griffins and throwing hammers are the scariest bosses."
"Get lost!"
Brian said gruffly. "If you dare let me ride a griffin, I'll tell Fiona about you and Tina!"
Tang En's expression changed slightly. He stared at Brian darkly. "What's going on between me and Tina? Why don't I know about it? "
"Keep pretending. Hmph, keep pretending."
Brian pursed his lips. "I'm going to work. Don't bother me."
* Sizzle … *
Tang En watched Brian leave with the propeller in his arms. He still could not understand how the matter between him and Tina was exposed. Clearly, no one should have known.
After that, Tang En ran around Ellington again, handing over the blueprints and sample parts he had drawn, one by one, especially the sample of the large magic engine. This magic engine, which was to be used on the battleship, was not a small toy like before. It could almost fill up an entire room. It was huge.
This large magic engine was different from the previous one.
Tang En originally considered continuing to use the wind-powered magic engine to propel the propeller forward, but after discussing with Clotho, he gave up his previous plan. There was no other reason. Whether it was technology or magic, there would be a loss of energy efficiency after conversion. Magic power was converted to wind power, then to kinetic energy, then to mechanical energy, and finally to kinetic energy. In the process, there were many energy conversions, and the loss of energy efficiency was considerable.
Since they were on the sea, why didn't they just use water spells as a source of power?
On one hand, water elements were quite dense in the sea, so water spells could be twice the result with half the effort. On the other hand, directly using water spells to propel the battleship forward would reduce the energy conversion process. From mana to magic to kinetic energy, it would originally require four conversions, but now it only required two conversions. A large amount of energy was saved, and the increase in energy efficiency would imperceptibly improve the overall performance of the battleship.
The principle of this magic engine was to collect water near the magic circle and form a violent whirlpool to accelerate the speed of the whirlpool. The power of the ship came from the reaction force of the whirlpool.
In order to achieve this goal, Tang En created a brand-new spell, which was inspired by Frost Ray and Whirlwind. He directly named it Whirlpool Spray and provided a corresponding version of the spell with a magic array.
This spell didn't have much power, but its difficulty was quite high, reaching the level of a grade 4 spell. If it was an ordinary mage, they would be able to obtain an arcanist badge in the City of Silver and be revered by all mages just by creating this spell.
Since the principle of this engine acted directly on the hull of the ship, even the propeller could be saved. Of course, the steering rudder couldn't be left out. Directly using the side engine for steering would capsize the ship …
While Tang En was arranging the tasks for Ellington to complete, the broadcast station on the other side had already begun to inform the assembly. By the time he returned to the square, the craftsmen had already gathered. They were now clear about their tasks, so Tang En didn't have to waste time talking. With a wave of his hand, the troops immediately set out.
Walking out of the teleportation circle, the carriages had already been arranged for Fehra. A group of people boarded the carriages and directly rushed to the shipyard in the north of Fehra.
Aurelia had already informed the person in charge here. Seeing Tang En and the others arrive, the person in charge immediately greeted them and directly knelt in front of Tang En. "I am Bismai Hood, the person in charge of Fehra's shipyard. It is an honor to meet Your Majesty!"
"…"
Bismai … Hood … Brother, you're going against the heavens!
Tang En almost couldn't resist the urge to ridicule. He took a deep breath and said, "Bismai … Bismai, right? Let's not waste time. Immediately inform all the shipbuilders, carpenters, and technicians to gather. I have something to announce."
Bismai raised his head and said, "I knew that Your Majesty was coming, so I have already informed them in advance. Now everyone has gathered and is waiting for Your Majesty!"
Oh? This kid knows how to make things happen.
Tang En nodded and walked into the shabby shipyard with a group of people behind him.
As mentioned before, although Prandal's maritime trade was relatively developed, its maritime military had not been developed much. Naturally, the shipyard was not valued. Back then, the lord of Fehra, Hodin Gross, did not allocate much money to the shipyard. This place was responsible for its own profits and losses, and the military's orders were pitifully few. Therefore, the shipyard was basically idle all year round, and naturally, it was not in a good state.
In fact, after seeing the shabby clothes and a few of the workers who were even emaciated, Tang En already did not have much hope for this shipyard.
But it was just as well. Since the original foundation was so bad, it saved him the need to modify it. He could directly start from scratch.
"Everyone, I am the Regent of Irus, Tang En."
Tang En walked in front of those people and did not waste any time. After introducing himself, he said, "Do you want to bid farewell to your current life and live a life of luxury?"
The muddle-headed shipyard workers originally thought that they would hear a long speech, but they did not expect Tang En to unexpectedly say such a thing. Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared in their dim eyes.
"Yes …"
Tang En frowned. "Your voices are not loud enough. It seems that you don't want to."
"Yes!"
"It's still not enough. I know that you may not have eaten your fill now, but tell me loudly. Do you want to eat your fill in the future? Eat well? Let your wife and children live a comfortable life!? "
"Yes!!!"
The unprecedentedly loud voices exploded from the mouths of the numb workers. The sudden wave of voices even overturned Bismai.
Tang En nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. Bring the box up!"
A few people carried a large box onto the stage. Tang En kicked the box open, and the golden light dazzled the eyes of those people.
"Tell me, what is this?"
"Gold coins!"
"Do you want it!?"
"Yes!"
"Now, it's yours!"
Tang En shouted loudly. "Everyone, line up and come up. Everyone will receive ten gold coins!"
Before Tang En came, he knew that the Feira shipyard had already owed the workers a few months of wages. However, those wages added up to only three or four gold coins.
Ten gold coins!?
The shipyard workers were so excited that tears streamed down their faces. In the past, they worked hard for a month and could not earn more than a few gold coins. Today, when His Majesty came, each of them would be given ten gold coins!?
Gods above! His Majesty must be a messenger sent by the gods!
The exciting money distribution made every worker cry with joy. They kept thanking Tang En for his gift. Tang En only smiled and did not respond. After everyone received their gold coins, he spoke again.
"Now, tell me, what are you holding in your hands?"
"Gold coins! Gold coins from His Majesty! "
"Does it feel good to have gold coins!?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want more!?"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes!!!"
"That's right!"
Tang En said loudly. "From today onwards, the Feira shipyard will welcome new life. Every month, you will receive at least ten gold coins, or even more. However, from today onwards, your tasks and work will be particularly heavy. Now, those who want to stay, stay where you are. Those who don't want to work can leave immediately. I swear in the name of the king that no one will cause you any trouble!"
Tang En's words stunned everyone. What did His Majesty mean? Would His Majesty be directly in charge of the Feira shipyard in the future?
"You have one hour to consider. If you still want to stay after one hour, I'll take it that you agree to stay. When the time comes, I'll announce new rules. If you violate my rules, don't blame me for expelling you!"
Tang En gave them some time to consider according to Fehra's habit and the goblin's way of timing, and then he remained silent.
They only had one month, and they had to complete the construction work of an entire fleet in less than a month. They even had to let the naval forces learn how to use the new warships in combat. This meant that they only had less than half a month to complete the construction work.
It was almost impossible to build a fleet with actual combat capability in less than half a month.
This meant that for the next half a month, all the employees working in the shipyard would have to work under the buff of Haste.
Heaven's Revelations could withstand the buff of Haste for a long time, but ordinary people couldn't. Haste would put a huge pressure on their brain and body. If their willpower wasn't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to persist even if they worked in shifts.
Thus, Tang En had to stimulate their fighting spirit and arouse their desire. At the same time, he had to recruit a large number of workers from Feira. Only then could they complete the task.
After a period of time, no one left.
They had worked here for many years and endured so many hardships. Finally, they saw the arrival of a good day and could work under the King. Who would be so stupid as to leave?
"No one left. Very good, I'm very satisfied. I announce that everyone will get a bonus of five gold coins this month."
Getting a bonus before even starting work, His Majesty was really a generous person!
This time, those people's backs were even straighter.
"First, I want to tell you about the next task."
Tang En looked at the energetic shipyard employees and said with a strange expression, "I want you to build a ship needed for an entire fleet in half a month."
