"Are there no industrial products?" Sean suddenly said.
Suddenly, several people were in a state of [holding back laughter!], but they remained calm on the surface.
"Industry...are you talking about those forging products, Brother Sean?"
"Yeah." Sean could tell that several people were laughing at him.
However, twenty years later, especially in the industrially developed Zambutal region, alchemists became merely tools for refining medicine and synthetic products, and were not as popular as mechanics.
An airship docking station requires a lot of mechanics to maintain it, so alchemists can only hide in the city to refine potions and runes to barely make a living. What's more difficult is that ordinary potion synthesis can also be completed through factory processing.
If it weren't for the special period, the alchemists would be on the verge of unemployment!
But looking at the reactions of the crowd, I don't think so...
"Haha...those are just some small things. How can they be compared with alchemy? Brother Sean may not know much about this." Lucas replied with a smile.
Oh, so that’s how it is.
After all, at this point in time more than 20 years ago, industrial countries represented by the Borg were not as powerful as they are now.
But the timing is wrong too.
Sean remembered that the Bashalan Empire in the Zambutal region had been established for nearly three hundred years, and Borg seemed to have been there even longer, and its prosperity began hundreds of years ago... Such a national industry would have appeared long ago, and it would not have become known to the world only after twenty years.
Either a genius suddenly appeared during this period, a genius who ushered in a new era of industry, or...
"Come on, let's not talk about this. We all come from different regions of Adak. It's a rare opportunity to meet here, so we should have a few more drinks."
"That's right, that's right. And brother Sean. I haven't met someone as interesting as you in a long time. You must come with us when we go to Kselk this time..." said a man named Van Peter who was sitting next to Lucas.
"Of course, of course."
Everyone continued to eat and at this moment the cargo ship began to shake violently.
The ship was already shaking violently at night on the sea, but suddenly it seemed to be hit by something.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?" someone shouted.
Everyone who was eating also stopped at this time.
Looking towards the door leading down from the deck, a sailor hurried over.
"It seems like something hit the bottom of the boat!"
"What did you hit?"
"I don't know yet, but the sound comes from the turbine," said the sailor.
turbine!
That is the main driving force for the entire ship.
It is impossible to raise the sailboat when the wind is strong at night. In fact, it is impossible to raise the sail most of the time unless there is a tailwind and you choose to use the sail to assist in order to increase the speed. On weekdays, you rely more on the turbine.
If something goes wrong there...
"That's a big problem!" The captain of the cargo ship was also in the cabin and stood up hurriedly after hearing this answer.
"Guests, please sit down for a moment. I'll take someone to take a look!"
Having said that, no one could sit still when there was a problem near the turbine. Even Sean and his friends who were still eating stopped and hurried out behind the crowd.
When he arrived on the deck, Sean looked for the little girl among the workers...
It was too dark and I couldn't find it.
"Light it up, light it up!"
A dozen torches formed a circle around the cargo ship's deck.
When everyone looked at the sea, they found that the ship seemed to be motionless!
"The boat doesn't seem to be moving."
"It's still moving forward, right? Look, those ships ahead are still moving."
Looking out at the sea in the darkness...
In the distance, in the direction where the Camel Gang fleet is located, only a few bright spots of light can be seen. In this completely dark sea, even if it is moving, you can't see it clearly.
After everyone argued for a while, a worker on the bottom deck ran up and said that the turbine seemed to be stuck by something and could not rotate. More than a dozen people tried to turn it but it didn't work. They were also afraid that if they tried too hard, the turbine blades would break, so they had no choice but to run up and ask the captain for his opinion.
"The turbine is stuck?"
"Yes, I don't know what it was that suddenly got stuck in the screw part of the boat, and no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't turn it!" said the boatman.
"What should we do? We can't just stay here. The Camel Gang's fleet is about to leave our sight. It will be very dangerous if we can't catch up with them!" someone in the crowd said.
In fact, the more dangerous thing than not being able to keep up with the caravan is that the turbine blades break. If that happens, the cargo ship will have no power to move forward. I don’t know if such a large ship can be moved by hand...
The passengers on the boat began to quarrel.
"Don't worry, it might be the dead body of a shark that's stuck in the fan blades. We'll send someone down to clean it up now, and it will be done soon." The captain stepped forward to assure everyone.
We must hurry up. If we don't deal with it quickly, we will fall far behind the Camel Gang. It will be very dangerous for the ship to be isolated in the sea.
At this time, the guests on the ship no longer dared to go to eat, and all gathered at the back of the deck to watch the sailors work.
Tie ropes around two muscular sailors...
It's summer now and the sea water is not very cold.
However, only sailors with good swimming skills dare to go down. After all, the cargo ship has a deep draft, and it is not easy to handle the turbine blades below.
"Be gentle and descend slowly!"
Led by a group of sailors, the two were gradually put into the sea in the middle of the night.
