This shipyard is a mainland shipyard. As for the local shipyard in Xiangjiang, it has basically been transferred away because of the high labor costs.

This mainland shipyard built a wooden fishing boat with steel keel a few years ago. The stern of the fishing boat was to be pulled into a net, which made the structure of this point nine points similar to the rear paddlefish.

As for paddle wheels and steam engines, they are not amazing technology. It takes several months to build a ship. During these times, even if the machine factory chews the steam engine and paddle wheels can be chewed out.

After negotiating good intentions, Raphael Group quickly allocated 10 million yuan as design expenses. The shipyard was naturally very excited, and the design expenses were higher than shipbuilding profits.

The designed load of the ship is 1,000 tons, and the hull is built with teak except for the keel. Now pure wooden ships are almost extinct at sea.

Because modern steam engines are already very stable, only one mast is left in the design.

The shipyard designers only think that some people want to customize such backward old ships, which is because they have a trick and are rich. As for shipyards, they make money.

Originally, the shipyard gave a shipbuilding time of one year, but it couldn't stand the Raphael Group was in a hurry and offered a budget of 100 million yuan. This budget could build a large ocean-going fishing boat of several thousand tons. It would not be a few times the profit to build a hybrid sailboat of thousands of tons.

After hearing the budget, the shipyard immediately guaranteed to work overtime to build the ship.

After staying here for more than ten days, Link decided on the ship's matters before he returned with confidence.

After returning, Link booked a second-class ticket to the Pier outside Jill City to go to the New World Kaitao Port three days later, worth twenty-five silver coins.

The first-class cabin ticket price is ten gold coins, and there are three included in the servant room. Link himself is alone and can just live in the second-class cabin in a single room.

The third-class cabin requires several people to sleep in one room and use a public bathroom. Generally, mercenaries sleep in this level of room. The only advantage is that it is cheap. You can go to the New World for eight silver dollars.

Moreover, no matter which class of cabin, it is a three-meal meal. However, the second-class and third-class cabins only have fish and mashed potatoes. In the spirit of not wasting, Link also ate a serving on the first day after boarding the boat. Then Link put away the food next time and threw it into the sea to feed the fish when there was no one.

Although the chef on the boat is not from the dark cuisine world, his level is really not very high, and he is not as good as the meals made by the chef at Klein's Flowing Banquet.

The steam paddle sailboat called the Seawoman who was riding on Link had two masts to spare. It is not the season of trade winds. He could only rely on paddle wheels to continuously burn coal across the ocean at a speed of about twenty kilometers per hour. It seemed very slow, but in fact, the distance between the old and new continents was only five or six thousand kilometers. The paddle sailboat did not rest for almost twenty-four hours, and could run four or five hundred kilometers a day, and a distance of five or six thousand kilometers a day. It took about ten days to arrive.

The reason why Link wanted to go to the New World is very simple. The interest plate of the old world has basically been divided up by various forces. The New World has created countless wealth legends, and not one of them is the same as himself.

On the boat, like many passengers, Link would choose to bask in the sun on the deck. First class and second class cabins are on the upper and lower levels. The passengers who Link met were also from second class cabins.

Most of the passengers here are similar to Link. They all went to the New World for the first time with the dream of making a fortune. The minority is employees of the trading company and went to the trading company in the New World to work.

Lin Ke held a cigar in his mouth and listened to the employee A holding a pipe on the deck and said, "Every year, so many people go to New World, and only a few people make money every year. Many of them come back in boxes. Do you understand? They just come back in urns. What's wrong with doing things for people? They can guarantee income when they get drought and flood. Even if this trading company collapses, you can still go to the next trading company. New World is very nervous about human resources."

An explorer obviously doesn't like to listen to this: "Work people to do things. In the past, when we were mercenaries, we could only participate in wars between some countries. We used our mercenaries as cannon fodder. We couldn't make much money, and the death rate was too high. When we came to mercenaries, life and death were all ignored, and this was nothing.

The most important thing is whether the war is fought every year and every month. The result is that once the two countries start war, a large number of mercenaries come, thus reducing the price of mercenaries. Anyway, they have to work hard, so it is better to find a place that makes a lot of money to work hard."

Link: "Brother, what wars have you participated in?"

"We participated in that famous debt war, also known as the gold coin war. The Kingdom of Duga borrowed the debts of the Kingdom of Thor, but in the end he was not willing to repay them. In the end, for the debts of the Kingdom of Thor, everyone took out tens of millions of gold coins to fight, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured. After more than a year of fighting, the Kingdom of Thor could not hold on anymore, so they had to negotiate. In the end, the two cities captured by the Kingdom of Thor were compensated to the Kingdom of Thor. The cabinet of the Kingdom of Duga also fell after the war.

That time, we were mercenaries, and half of the casualties were mercenaries."

Employee A: "That's you guys who are stupid. If I were just mercenaries, I'm just going to fight if I'm fake. Why do you fight hard?"

"You think the generals of the Kingdom of Thor and Duga are stupid. They pay according to the heads. If they can't grab the heads, or if they don't defeat the town, they won't have money to take it."

Employee A: "Then do you still go?"

"I always have to eat, brother. When there was no war, we mercenaries would go to run errands and deliver letters or go to the dock to carry big bags and work hard labor. I was really fed up in such a life, and even my wife and children could not afford to raise my wife and children. I finally had a settlement fee when going to war. How much does it cost to work in the New World for a month?"

Employee A: "Thirteen silver coins, including food and accommodation."

"That's great. I didn't get ten silver coins when I carried a big bag at the dock for the most a month."

Employee A: "New World is far away from home and the salary is not high. No one is willing to go there. When I was in my hometown, the trading company only gave nine silver coins a month. I wanted to make more money, so of course I chose to work in New World."

Link asked, "To get married."

Employee A: "Yes, I have made an agreement with Margaret to go back and marry her after working in the New World for three years."

Link thought to himself that he would not have another three years and three years.

Seeing that there seemed to be animals jumping on the sea in the distance, Link pointed his finger at the sea: "Look, what is that?"

After hearing Link's words, a sailor shouted: "There are sea monsters, and all those who have no combat power will return to the cabin. Beware, beware, there are sea monsters."

Link, who drew his sword and came out to alert, probably saw clearly. The frog in breaststroke jumping on the sea, but it was the first time Link had seen it.

Link asked: "Sea monster is like this bird?"
