Chapter 650: Kind and generous miser

"How can this be played !?"
Tang En wants to lift the table. Without him, the use of hydro-powered magic engines on battleships is too good, too much!
At first, he only considered the lack of speed of the battleship, so he simplified all the extra equipment on the battleship as much as possible, and even the protective armor was intended to be implemented with magic shields. This greatly reduced the weight of the battleship, but he did not expect the final result. The result is too fast!
And this is not the no-load speed, but the speed after being filled with supplies and ammunition!
After returning from the first voyage, the old navies were frightened and terrified. After disembarking, they vomited. Even if they could not stand the high speed, not to mention the new rangers recruited by Tang En.
The sea conditions are different from the land conditions. The sea conditions are too complicated. Turbulence, undercurrents, ocean currents, monsoons, undersea terrain, and so on will affect the ship. The speed of the ship reaches 180 kilometers per hour. This is not high performance. This is terrible!
Of course, it ’s good to be able to sail so fast in a calm day, but if you drive so fast in a strong wind and waves, the ship will be destroyed in minutes, and you will also be fart!
At that speed, if the ship wants to turn at a slightly larger angle, the people on the deck will be flung away by inertia, and the people in the cabin cannot be pleased, and the wall is still good. If you are unlucky , Head can be GG directly to the raised place.
Therefore, the speed must be reduced, and the speed must be reduced to at least 120 kilometers per hour, which is about 66 knots.
Why don't you use kilometers? The answer is-because it's easy! Anyway, this world does not have the old tradition of navigation on the earth, and the crew worships the goddess of water, Anita Lair or Fengshen Icardis. There is no special tradition, and it can be done in kilometers per hour.
Even at 120 kilometers per hour, this kind of sailing speed is very incredible. After all, it is not like land or air in the sea, and there are too many unexpected situations.
Drop down!
Tang En immediately began to reduce the speed of the engine. Fortunately, this kind of work only needs to adjust the upper limit of the magic output of the magic array. No major projects are needed, so it will not delay time too much.
However, Tang En did not completely limit the engine to death. He re-established the speed range. Below 60 kilometers per hour is the low-speed safe cruising speed, 60-80 is the green standard cruising speed, and 80-100 is the yellow high-speed cruising speed. 100-120 is the red emergency avoidance speed. As for 120-160, it is limited by a separate small magic array. Normally, this speed cannot be activated. Only the captain presses the button in the hidden place. Only then can you unlock this extreme speed of the sky. As for the situation used ... I'm afraid there is only a critical moment of life and death.
It took Down an hour to readjust the engines of the sixteen battleships, and then the second armed test was performed again. This time, including the old navy and the newly recruited rangers, needed to be on the battleships. Weapons Danny and others will teach these people hand in hand.
Although ordinary crew members are not required to operate weapons at ordinary times, if a dangerous situation occurs, such as when the Rangers encounter an unexpected situation and no one else is available, they must also stick to their heads, so the necessary operating knowledge is still required knew.
There is still half a month to go. During these half months, these rangers, as well as the soldiers supported by Tang En, must stay on the battleship to accommodate the next maritime war.
Watching the fleet sailing out of the port with the soldiers, Tang En turned back to handle the remaining matters at the Fira shipyard.
Such as salary.
Tang En promised that these people would double the bonus every day in advance. Unfortunately, no matter how cunning the employees are, they ca n’t be considered bosses. They tried their best to finish the task in fourteen nights. Sitting there waiting for Tang En to settle his wages.
Even the original head of the shipyard, Bismarck Hood, was staring and waiting. Although he was not poor, he did not want to miss such a sum of money.
"Are you okay?"
"It's done."
Fiona looked up, said one expressionlessly, and then repeatedly confirmed: "Are you sure you want to do this? You need to know that in one sentence, we have doubled the cost of our work."
Originally, according to the agreement with Tang En, these people did not complete the task in advance, and each of them only had a thousand gold coins. However, Tang En felt that they worked very hard and should be rewarded, so each person added an extra 1,000. Gold coins bonus.
The 1,165 people in the shipyard, plus the 246 technicians that Ellington came to support, each with a bonus of 2,000 gold coins, means that this time Tang En will spend 2.82 million gold coins.
"Money is not the most important thing for us, is it?"
Tang En let out a hand and said very innocently: "What's more, it is because of their efforts that we can successfully complete the task, so don't let supporters believe our people chill, dear Ms. Fiona."
Tang En immediately captured Fiona in the cold and ruthless mode, and her face turned red slightly, then mumbled, "Forget it, just be happy."
Fiona came outside with Tang En with her book in her face, and once again regained her ruthless look. This was a good camouflage and made her impeccable for anyone who wanted to be almost sympathetic to her.
"You guys, let me tell you something before paying the wages."
Fiona's indifferent voice passed to everyone's ears clearly: "Before the start of construction, Your Majesty reached an agreement with you, and the bonus can be doubled every day before completion. Now it seems that even if a lot of Support, you have not completed this agreement, so according to the contract, each person present can only get a salary of 1,000 gold coins. "
Those workers who were standing under the stage were very frustrated, but they were speechless, and there was no way, it was indeed that they failed to complete the agreement, and not to lie down.
But soon they got up again, and even if they couldn't double, the salary of a thousand gold coins was a lot.
"but."
Fiona turned her head and looked down at the following people: "His benevolent Tang En. Be compassionate, know your hard work, and know how much you have done to complete the task, so he gives you a special encouragement. Award, each person's bonus will double, and you can get 2,000 gold coins! "
Two thousand gold coins!
There was an uproar in the audience, followed by a huge and enthusiastic cheer. At this moment, Tang En had really conquered them and received their support from the heart.
For the sake of gold coins, as long as they are willing to issue gold coins, they are good kings.
"Cheers for Her Majesty Tang En!"
"Long live Your Majesty Tang En!"
"Your Majesty Tang En is invincible!"
All sorts of shouts of cheering came one after another, and Tang En even heard the tongue-in-cheek blessing of "Tang En's Majesty of the Night Royal Thousand Girls".
His sister, Ye Yu Qian Nu? Is that guy cursing himself for a second shot? ?
All in all, after the awards went down, it was the guest and host Qi Huan. Everyone was smiling, and they planned to spend the night and spend their time, toiling themselves for the hard work they have been doing all day and night for half a month.
"did you see that?"
Tang En nodded at the following: "If they get enough gold coins, they can make their lives richer. The first thing they think of is to spend them and improve their lives. These gold coins just turn around in their hands. In the hands of various bosses, part of it becomes tax revenue and returns to the national treasury, and another part goes to other places to stimulate the operation of society. This is the real effect of money. "
Fiona is thoughtful. In fact, she can now understand Tang En's unique perspective on the economy. However, all the education she received since she was a child is how to compose wealth. She did n’t think about other truths at all. There is no turning around.
These temporarily recruited workers patted their chests before leaving to ensure that they could return again at any time if needed-as long as the salary was still so generous.
After Tang En watched those people leave, he returned to Ellington with Fiona.
For the time being, there is nothing to do with the fleet. Nokia, Locke and the Navy will train those recruits into old churros. New equipment and new ships will consume their energy for half a month.
After a week of trials and training, the fleet returned to the port to resupply, followed by a two-day rest, and then led by Naga's messenger to the center of the abyss, the sea where human footprints rarely reach.
The Skybreaker on Croto also set off with the day when the fleet sailed, providing in the sky and providing intelligence tasks such as observing sea conditions.
What Tang En can do now is to wait.
Of course, besides waiting, he can also be busy on the other side.
For example Oscar and Riviez their orders.
After the warship parts processing was completed, there were enough manpower and resources to process the production line of Harley-Davidson civilian models, which once again gave Tang En the idea of ​​expanding production capacity.
What's more, the manpower is still insufficient.
Tang En suddenly thought of a way: "It's better to use my identity to announce a news of Ellington recruiting workers? I think that would be very effective."
"of course can."
Fiona glared at Tang En: "I thought you had thought of this already."
"Not only that!"
Tang En suddenly shouted with two eyes: "You can also take this opportunity to publish the labor law and necessary personal security policies."
"It can be, but how do you ensure the implementation of the policy?"
Fiona's words blinded Tang En.
