Chapter 198 198. Shipbuilding
"We may only have one child in the future."
"No way, we are still young. There is still hope for the future."
"My premonitions are always accurate, please don't doubt them."
"Okay, what do you want to say?"
"There are mainly two things. The first thing is that because I am incompetent and cannot help the Sheen family have more offspring, I will not interfere with you and the other maids in the future. You can do whatever you want without having to avoid me."
"What else?" Lovi didn't believe in the possibility of such a good thing. This was not like Lodel's style and her words. He had to be cautious and not let the lady catch him in the act.
"The second thing is that my daughter's name is Yue."
"It's a strange word, and it's easy to repeat."
"This is her own choice. This word means it is unique and irreplaceable."
There seemed to be something wrong with Lodel's eyes. They were not as clear as those of a normal human being. They looked dull, like a puppet, talking to herself.
Luo Wei frowned unconsciously. There is a saying that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. Could it be that the side effects have taken effect? "Dale!"
He waved his hand in front of the silver-haired beauty.
Mother Evelin was not in Fulin Castle, and it felt like the most important pillar was missing. Some strange phenomena began to occur frequently.
Such as Xiqi sleepwalking, and some people met strange people. Mosuofei met a guard and a maid with a strange face more than once.
He knew everyone in Fortune Castle, but he had no impression of this person at all. It was really strange.
When I was about to ask, the man disappeared. This was during the day! At night, Lowe was more active and didn't notice anything strange.
It is almost impossible to play tricks in front of a spellcaster of a formal rank. "Oh, you jealous person, stop being jealous!" Lovey hugged Lodel tightly, knelt in front of her, put his ear close to her, pretending to listen.
Luo Deer's confused eyes regained a bit of clarity: "Mother, when will you be back?"
"I don't know. If she is reliable, she should be back in time for Yue to be born." Luo Wei slowly raised his face, with a pure arc at the corner of his mouth: "Won't you let me have a taste?"
"I haven't yet! Don't worry about it!" Lodel showed an irritated expression.
"Of course I have to keep it in mind, otherwise what if the production is insufficient and the children go hungry?"
"There are many people giving birth in the territory, and they are happy to help."
"I think my biological mother's is better, it's more authentic."
Luo Deer said coldly: "You have already made your choice, why are you still trying to please me? Are you having fun with that woman every day?"
"You will always be the most important woman to me."
"Go away, you've lost my trust."
"Then I'll go." Lo Wei stood up with a smile, and Lodel grabbed his wrist tightly: "Madam, is there anything else?"
"Come for a walk with me!"
A woman who says one thing and thinks another, Lovi thought to himself.
The two left Fulin Castle and stood by Moon Lake.
With her hands behind her back, Lodel faced the setting sun, the warm wind blowing her gauze skirt. After becoming a real woman, she still had a girlish feeling.
I haven’t felt like exercising recently, but when Lowe shows up, I get extremely excited.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, when it was still early before dark, Lodel took Lovey and left.
"You don't care about the territory, so I have to take care of everything these days!"
She didn't know whether she was showing off her own achievements, criticizing others, or a combination of both.
"Yes, ma'am, thank you for your hard work!"
Lovey thought that Lodel would not go far, but she insisted on going to the city.
Even with a big belly, I don’t feel tired Donggang City is like a huge construction site, with busy construction workers everywhere.
Due to favorable weather, the project progress was much faster than in previous years.
There are already hundreds of houses on Fulin Road, and each one is at least three stories high, as required by the City Hall.
On both sides of the road, there are all kinds of flowers and plants, and the newly transplanted saplings have grown green leaves. It is expected that in a few years they will become towering trees, providing shelter for people from wind and rain.
The total population of the city exceeds 80,000, and is expected to exceed the 90,000 mark. If the surrounding villages are included, the population has already exceeded 100,000!
As more and more people gather together, it brings more prosperity and a sense of security.
At least for now, the dangerous beasts around Fulin Fort have completely disappeared. The star-like villages and towns form a line of defense, isolating the land around Moon Lake into a sufficiently safe space.
The bard from afar played melodious instruments in the Red Maple Tavern and received a lot of cheers.
The Red Maple Tavern can no longer accommodate the drinkers in Donggang City.
Therefore, the Executive Council approved the construction of new taverns along the coastline.
The name is Sea Song Tavern.
The name is somewhat repetitive. There is actually a town called Haige in the principality, but Lovi has no intention of changing the name.
The new tavern was planned to be built to a similar size as the Red Maple Tavern, and an old dwarf who had retired from the blacksmith workshop would be appointed as the person in charge.
Anyway, these dwarves just love to drink.
For the sake of drinking, he was happy to take the job.
All in all, nothing major happened to the Free Territory this year. It prospered and grew steadily, waiting for the opportunity to soar to the sky and become famous in the mainland.
The two walked along the beach and looked into the distance.
More and more ships are floating on the sea in the port.
The fishermen were working hard to cast their nets and catch fish, and it looked like they had a very good harvest.
At this stage, the maximum displacement of fishing boats has reached 50 to 60 tons, which is initially safe.
In addition, with the application of sailing technology, as long as the weather is not windy and rough, most accidents will probably not happen.
The next step is to develop medium-sized ships with a displacement of hundreds of tons to sail in the near seas, thereby expanding trade.
In fact, it is not difficult.
The shipbuilders proposed to the lords the plan of adding sails and oars.
To Lowe's surprise, the sailboat could still sail even with headwind and current against it.
The shipbuilders even demonstrated it to him in person, and although it was in a zigzag shape, it was really done.
This has to do with aerodynamics. When the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure decreases. To get around the outward curved sail, the air must speed up, so the pressure decreases, creating suction that pulls the sail to one side. The suction on the leeward side of the sail due to the reduced pressure is quite large, and can be twice as strong as the force pushing the sail on the windward side.
If you add human power to row the boat, it is completely possible to sail against the current and against the wind. If all else fails, you can find a place to stop.
Therefore, navigation in coastal areas is not a difficult problem to solve.
Of course, once you encounter a situation, it is basically difficult to resist. For example, if a ship is swept into the deep sea by a storm, don't expect to come back. Human power can play a certain role, but it cannot determine the direction. Moreover, a small ship can hardly resist the harassment of sea beasts.
The creatures in the ocean are much more ferocious than those on land, and level three creatures are only in the middle tier.
In the eyes of ordinary people, going to sea is basically equivalent to risking one's life! It is even more unreliable than going to a mine to dig coal.
