Chapter 118 Rapid Development

Chapter 118 Rapid development

When Shu Yuer boarded the experimental boat, she couldn't believe that it was actually a boat.

Two long boats are the small fishing boats that are commonly used by Arabs that bent upwards and use rectangular sails. However, as the hull of this experimental boat, they are only completely sealed hulls.

The pointed boats rowed two snow-white sails on the sea surface. At the top of the wide deck, there were two triangular soft sails on both sides, and they were rounded by the wind at this moment.

What made Shu Yuer particularly wonder was that such a sailboat only requires three people to control it. One person takes the helm and two people hold the sail.

She measured the length of the ship with her eyes. According to the length unit of Martin taught him - meters, the ship was only ten meters long. However, it was very wide, with a length of about 7-8, making it look like a square brick laying underground in the ancestral hall of the family.

The one who came to pick her up was Abdul Zhemal, who, as always, talked a lot like those impatient flies.

"The owner said that this boat is called a passenger ship that rides the wind and waves. In the future, our communication with the shore will depend on it. However, it is modified by a small fishing boat. It is not bad to use. It can be loaded or carried by people!..."

The top deck is a place for carrying people and crew members. The slaves were used as cargo and put into the cabin. The open-air place in the middle, the sail holders were not like the people on other ships, and they needed to organize sail ropes from time to time.

They seemed to control two things that had many tackles installed, called "sailing machines", where the ropes of those sails were connected.

As they kept pedaling the crank under their feet, the sail ropes were rolled up obediently into their sail machine. The thing seemed to be very strong, but not big, how could it swallow so many ropes.

In fact, it is just a combination of Martin combined some pulley mechanisms with tower gears to control different directions and states of the sails. A boat like this can be tightened or released by a person using power provided by a mechanism like a bicycle crank.

If it is a big ship, it is naturally a mechanism for multiple people to connect to power. Although it is a little more complicated, it can save a lot of manpower.

Now, what is lacking on the island of Felekai is not money, not food, but manpower!

Just this time Jack led the boat to Ziyun Village and cleaned up the slave market there almost once. On Shu Yuer's boat alone, there were about fifty black people from the Crusaders, Persians, Caucasians and Africans.

After hearing Jack say that this is not enough, more slave traders in Ziyunzhuang accepted their commissions to go to Baghdad, Egypt and other regions to purchase slaves.

In line with this, a large number of craftsmen, scholars or other people with skills began to hire on the Island of Felecai.

"It's been a long time since I've been there. The cruel Mixing didn't come to Liu Yuan to see him!"

While talking, my hands were getting bigger and bigger in my arms, and I became lazy and fatter. I naturally screamed in my heart, "I'm so bad, I'm so bad, I'm so bad" countless times, but I don't know that people from afar's ears are not burned.

Shu Yuer in Huangsha City has often heard the name of Ferai Island. For example, when Arabs outside Huanghai City build houses, they use extremely cheap bricks. God knows how people on Ferai Island can burn so many bricks.

Those milk candies, telescopes, clothing, gold and silver jewelry, etc., have even come ashore in large numbers. They form a huge fleet from Huangsha City and flew to Ziyunzhuang.

When Liu Yuan's girls said in their ears that the milk candies were so delicious, Shu Yuer thought of the origin of the "gelatin" and felt disgusted.

But at the same time, her heart was filled with sweetness, because Zhao Fubo always brought some chocolates to her, and the packaging was marked with the words "not for sale". But there were some things that Shu Yuer blushed when she accepted them.

For example, what is the gadget of "Guan Shubao" or the gadget of a bikini. Although these things cannot be said, Shu Yuer's heart is like Xiaoqi's makeup box, and she really likes it tightly.

"Bah, it must be the old man Martin who thought it out. Fu Bo, he was still glaring!"

She was thinking about a mess in her mind and let the sea breeze blow her carefully combed palace bun.

As Zhemaer said, this "Ride the Wave" is indeed an experimental boat. Its purpose is to verify the possibility of the catamaran designed by Martin. Now its extremely fast speed and its characteristics that are rarely affected by the waves are being fully utilized.

"...I heard from the master that there will be dozens of such ships. In the future, all of them will be our Wind and Waves..."

Abdul Zhemaar never cares about others' listening, and the joy of his life lies in his speaking. Now he calls Zhao Fubo the master like him. In addition to the lowest-level slaves who have just arrived on the Island of Felekai, more people like to call Zhao Fubo another name - the boss.

This also included those crusaders. In addition to those who joined the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty, they also called Zhao Fubo the boss.

Seeing the island of Ferai getting closer and closer, Shu Yuer's heart became anxious. She didn't understand what Zhao Fubo and his teacher Martin had done on the island in about a month.

When the Island of Felekai really appeared in front of Shu Yuer, she couldn't believe the changes here. The completed pier that had been dozens of meters long stretched into the sea, and now several ships similar to the Wind and Waves were unloading there.

It can be seen that Zhao Fubo and his friends not only bought goods from Ziyunzhuang, but also from Ket City. The ships of manpower, wood, ore, and various unknown other things were rushing inland along the pier.

Here, the boats traveling inland in Guizhou were parked on the right, and the carts carrying things on the boat were parked on the left. Although the crowds were surging, they were not at all confusing.

On the wide trest, except for two roads that come and go, and there are occasional people riding horses, there is usually no one on foot, but no one dares to go there.

Looking at the island again, Shu Yuer, who never likes to talk to Abdul Zhemal who has been nagging endlessly, couldn't help but say something, although she regrets it as soon as she finished speaking.

"I never knew that there were so many people on this island of Felecai!"

Abdul Zhemal was probably surprised, but then he began to use his skills.

"Of course there weren't so many people on the island at the beginning, only one or two hundred, and the rest were slaves bought by the owner, and many guys who didn't know the origin. At the beginning, these guys didn't work hard, but after killing a few, they all understood the benefits of working..."

After talking for a long time, Shu Yuer finally couldn't figure out how many people there are on this island now.

However, there have been many sentry towers on the island. When the sentry above sees the coming ship, a big gong will sound.

At this time, dark smoke was emitting deep in the island. Shu Yu'er was used to using the charcoal at home and didn't know what it was. She just suddenly realized that the island and the air around her seemed to be faintly shrouded in the smoke.

"Oh my god, what are Fu Bo and that Teacher Martin doing on this island? How come it is so chaotic!"

Just when she didn't like the air quality on the island, she saw the mane of the Flying Fire Sky Beast on the coast like a flame ship.

Although the air quality is not good, its mane is as red as it is ignited by fire. Shu Yuer even doubted whether the black smoke on the island was just because it set fire.

Today is Sunday, but for Zhao Fubo, all his free time is just to come here to pick up Shu Yuer and return to the castle.

He then had a lot of work to do, and time was really precious compared to him and Teacher Martin.

"Yu'er...Yu'er..."

When Zhao Fubo, who was sitting on the Flying Fire Sky Beast, saw Shu Yuer's figure, he stood up happily and waved his arms vigorously.

He had a special longing for Shu Yuer. Zhao Fubo had long been used to it. After so many years of getting along, he was suddenly pushed into a tense and passionate life, but there was no pretty figure of Shu Yuer around him, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

As if in response, Shu Yuer also waved her arms to Zhao Fubo, and even she couldn't help but jumped slightly. This made her narrow-eyed eyes open nervously, for fear that Shu Yuer, who was too happy, accidentally dropped it into the sea.

When the marina of the Wind and Waves stopped beside the pier, the slaves on the shore set up a springboard. Then soldiers with weapons came up and took the slaves in the cabins ashore.

"Send construction site No. 1, there is a shortage of staff at the construction site No. 1! If you are sick, you will be sent to the hospital and ask the kitchen to send some food to construction site No. 1!"

Obviously, there was really a shortage of manpower on the island of Felecai, otherwise, the rope around their necks would not be untied and they would be sent to the construction site when they got ashore.

Shu Yuer didn't care about them at this time because she saw Zhao Fubo running over along the almost empty avenue in the middle of the pier.

Looking at Zhao Fubo getting closer and closer, Shu Yuer could even feel Zhao Fubo's enthusiasm, as hot as the color of the Flying Fire Sky Beast. For a moment, she was so shy that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhao Fubo rode to Shu Yuer's side. To Shu Yuer's surprise, Zhao Fubo actually reached out to her.

"Get on horseback, Yu'er!"

Looking at his hands, Shu Yuer widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.
