Chapter 788: Communication
On Zhou Xu's side, the relevant orders were quickly arranged, speeding up the shipbuilding plan that had been on the agenda for a long time.
As a result, his own workload also increased.
There is no way. Once the shipbuilding plan is advanced, the related work must also be advanced, including drawing the design drawings.
Throughout the entire Great Zhou, there are only a handful of people who know what a "big ship" is, and only these time travelers have some idea in their minds.
Zhou Xu knew nothing about the construction of modern ships, but he had a general idea of this ancient sailing ship.
However, it took Zhou Xu a lot of time to organize all these ideas and present them on the design drawing. After so many revisions, the design drawing, which was not detailed or large at the same time, took Zhou Xu several days to draw.
In addition, he also sent messages to the time travelers within the Great Zhou, asking each of them to draw a design of the ship to facilitate his comparative study.
However, the effect was not good this time. Even Wang Pengfei, who is known as the king of Internet, was defeated by this wave.
When it came to ships, when he had been arguing with people online before, the arguments were basically about whose warships were more powerful.
Even when talking about ancient sails, they were talking about which dynasty had stronger sailors and ships. As for how this large sailing ship was built and what its internal structure was like, he really didn't know much.
But he still drew a design based entirely on his imagination, which made Zhou Xu roll his eyes.
It can be seen that Wang Pengfei is indeed a junior high school dropout and has never studied well. The entire design drawing was made without any consideration of rationality and was entirely based on imagination.
In comparison, the designs he drew himself were much more reliable.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu sighed, picked up his own design drawing, looked at the design and markings on it, and pondered it carefully. After confirming that there were indeed no major problems and that he could not optimize it any further, he ordered someone to send the design drawing to the shipbuilding department that had been established.
At this moment, this new department is busy working with the Construction Engineering Department to build the dock they will use next on the edge of the big lake in Black Moon City.
At the same time, the resources required for the entire project are currently being raised and transported, and Zhou Xu's design drawings will definitely be delivered in advance.
During this period, the Great Zhou exchange group headed by Silk officially arrived at the village of the wood elves, allowing the two sides to formally start in-depth exchanges with each other.
Compared to the Da Zhou exchange group, which had a long journey, the wood elves had it much easier.
After leaving the basin forest and passing through the canyon passage, they soon arrived at the first city of their Great Zhou, Green Forest City.
Although it is a border city, Green Forest City mainly develops logging and farming industries, and the overall environment is quite good.
Although the elves love nature in their hearts, they have seen too many forests and trees in their past lives, or simply put, they see them every day. For them, these things have long lost their novelty.
Not to mention that the wood elves who came this time are all young people with strong curiosity and desire to explore in the tribe.
At this moment, the city in front of them called 'Green Forest City' will undoubtedly attract more of their attention.
In peacetime, the gates of Green Forest City are open during the day because important farming and logging work have to be done outside the city.
At this moment, there are quite a lot of people coming and going in and out of the city.
As a group of special visitors, the wood elves, whose appearance and clothing were obviously different from those of the people of the Great Zhou, undoubtedly attracted the attention of passers-by.
"Are they the Wood Elves?"
"Look at their hair. It's just like what the storyteller in the tavern said. It's dark green. And they are all so handsome."
"Jun is really handsome, but what he wears is too shabby. It's winter, aren't they cold wearing such thin clothes?"
"More than not being cold, look at them, they're not even wearing shoes."
"They are wood elves, unlike us. Maybe they are not afraid of the cold?"
Listening to the chatter around them, even though they couldn't quite understand some of the words, as living creatures their instinct made the wood elves, including Sion, couldn't help but tap their toes on the ground.
Fortunately, there are basically no idle people in their Great Zhou now. The people are busy working and making money, and they don’t have the time to stand here and watch.
In addition, Zhou Xu had already asked storytellers from all over the country to release the news in advance that a wood elf village had been discovered near their territory, that they had successfully formed an alliance with the wood elf village, and that they would have a friendly exchange visit in the future. This was like a precautionary measure for the people.
Now that the legendary wood elves have really been seen, the people passing by basically just look at them for a few more times, or stop and chat for a few words, and then continue to work and make money.
For ordinary people, this new thing is just for fun. How can it be as important as making money?
During this process, the staff responsible for receiving them soon came with several carriages.
"Sorry for the long wait, please get on the carriage. I will take you to your lodgings first."
Hearing this, the wood elves suddenly felt relieved and quickly got into the carriage as if they were escaping for their lives.
It was not until the carriage started moving that their attention shifted to it.
It is not convenient to ride a horse in the forest environment, let alone a carriage. The wood elves today have never seen such an item.
The wood elves sitting in the carriage at this moment couldn't help but touch it left and right. Some of the wood elves leaning against the doors and windows even stuck their heads out of the door and window curtains, watching the carriage running with its wheels turning rapidly. They didn't care about the surprised looks of the passers-by around them and couldn't stop exclaiming.
When we arrived at the place and signaled them to get off the car, each of them had a look of wanting more.
The staff felt confused about this, but still waved at them.
"Everyone come here, I will arrange dormitories for you."
As they were talking, the staff member pushed open the door of a dormitory next door.
"This row of dormitories are all four-person rooms. You can discuss among yourselves who will live with whom."
As the staff spoke, they introduced some daily necessities in the dormitory.
"This is the bed, divided into upper and lower bunks, and the bedding and pillows have been placed for you. Next to it is the wardrobe, and this is the desk. All the basic daily necessities are provided."
When receiving the exchange group, Zhou Xu didn't plan to make it too ostentatious, but he also didn't plan to make it too shabby. Compared with the eight-person dormitory, the four-person dormitory has the same space, but it is undoubtedly much more spacious to live in.
"Please choose a dormitory and rest for a while. I will take you to dinner later."
