Chapter 193: #193 - Hanhai Shipyard

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er didn't get out of the carriage. Instead, they sat inside and began to observe the entire dock along the shore.

As the only port city in the Heaven Dou Empire, hundreds of sea ships were docked along the shore.

Among them, the large sea ships had hulls exceeding one hundred meters in length.

Looking from the shore, the large ships resembled towering hills, their shadows covering a large portion of the dock.

Even the well-traveled Quan Yue and Su Ling'er were deeply shocked when they saw the man-made behemoths standing in the sea.

"How much money and time would it take to build such a large sea ship!"

Seeing the real sea ships, Su Ling'er also realized that establishing a foothold here would not be an easy task.

Quan Yue replied, "Don't worry, we can start by building smaller ships and accumulating experience.

Then, we can use the small ships to train and cultivate enough sailors.

We must take one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.

Let's start with what we can do, and slowly we can achieve the same level, or even better."

Quan Yue had a calm personality, and he was able to maintain a calm mind even after seeing the large ships.

He had clear arrangements and plans in his mind.

After touring a large part of the area, the carriage finally stopped next to a giant domed building.

Quan Yue and Su Ling'er got out of the carriage.

The domed building was more than one hundred meters high, and the main entrance was completely open. Moreover, the height and width of the gate were nearly one hundred meters, almost extending to the dome.

Therefore, looking from the front, the scene inside the building was unobstructed. Moreover, since there was a similar gate on the opposite side, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er could even see the sea on the other side through the building.

The sea breeze blew in, passing through the two open gates, carrying the mixed smell of saltiness and wood.

Inside the building, there were various large timbers and the skeletal frames of ships that were still in their initial stages.

Countless workers and carpenters gathered together, making the interior of the building bustling with noise.

These people's faces were full of seriousness and dedication as they focused on shipbuilding.

Seeing this, Su Ling'er couldn't help but praise, "As expected of the largest shipyard in Han Hai City. Its scale and size are even larger than the Great Soul Arena in the main city."

"The shipyard is the pillar industry of Han Hai City. In this extreme west, even a Soul Arena wouldn't be able to make as much money as it.

Moreover, this Han Hai Shipyard is the largest in Han Hai City. It manufactures medium-sized and larger ships, each with an astronomical price tag."

The building that Quan Yue and Su Ling'er arrived at was called Han Hai Shipyard.

More than eighty percent of the ships in Han Hai City's docks came from their hands.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look." Quan Yue took Su Ling'er's hand and walked into the huge building.

Therefore, there was a considerable military force stationed here.

The searching soldier saw that Quan Yue and Su Ling'er had an extraordinary temperament and appearance, and he became serious about them.

"You two don't look like residents of Han Hai City. Are you here to commission a ship?"

Quan Yue smiled calmly and said, "My wife and I have indeed just moved to Han Hai City, but we plan to reside here permanently.

Therefore, we have come here to customize a ship."

The soldier understood and then said, "I see. Since this is your first time here, I will arrange someone to serve you two exclusively."

Then, the soldier turned to a man not far away and said, "Mr. Jiang Jun, there are two distinguished guests here who want to buy a ship. Please come out and greet them."

A slender but upright man turned around and replied, "No problem, please follow me."

Jiang Jun was wearing simple gray clothes. Judging from his appearance, he was about thirty years old.

However, his presence was quite conspicuous among the group of strong and sweaty workers.

Moreover, Jiang Jun's image didn't look like a resident of Han Hai City. With his fair skin and tall stature, he looked more like someone from the inland.

As Jiang Jun passed by, the workers next to him would stop their work and salute him.

"Everyone, be careful," Jiang Jun waved his hand to signal, greeting the workers in a friendly tone.

Quan Yue discovered that this ordinary-looking young man had considerable prestige within the shipyard.

Jiang Jun led them to a quiet room.

The room was located in a remote corner of the yard. The interior of the yard was an open space for shipbuilding.

Only the walls on all four sides had rows of rooms.

In the center of the room, there was a sofa for guests. Quan Yue and Su Ling'er sat on the sofa, looking around.

The room was filled with the fragrance of ink. In addition to various small wooden ship sculptures, there were also many drawings and books.

"Distinguished guests, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Jun, and I am the Deputy Director of Han Hai Shipyard."

Jiang Jun had a gentle temperament and was refined, more like a teacher than a shipbuilder.

But unexpectedly, such a thin man was actually a big figure in the factory.

However, why would the Deputy Director personally greet the guests at the door?

A trace of doubt arose in Quan Yue's heart.

"So you are the Deputy Director. Hello, my name is Quan Yue. I am here today to customize a sea ship."

A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Jun's eyes, but he quickly hid it and asked calmly, "Oh, what size of sea ship would you like to customize?"

"Medium size, not too big. But I have some high requirements for the strength of this ship," Quan Yue said.

"That's no problem. Our shipyard can add thick iron armor to the outside of the ship. Even ordinary hundred-year soul beasts won't be able to damage the hull."

When Jiang Jun talked about ships, he became less calm and stood up directly, talking endlessly about shipbuilding matters.

After listening to Jiang Jun's explanation, Quan Yue had a superficial understanding of the ships.

Moreover, the specific design方案 provided by Jiang Jun also met his requirements.

"Okay, let's just customize one here," Quan Yue said.

Quan Yue didn't hesitate too much and directly chose to customize one.

Jiang Jun didn't seem to have expected Quan Yue to be so straightforward. "Okay, okay, Mr. Quan, then I'll go get the seal and the contract now."

With that, Jiang Jun actually left the two of them behind and rushed out of the room alone.

Seeing Jiang Jun's performance, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er felt a little uneasy.

Su Ling'er asked in a low voice, "Husband, this person doesn't seem very reliable. Should we directly find the Director to entrust the shipbuilding matters?"

Quan Yue also had the same opinion, but he didn't move. Instead, he chose to wait and see.

"Let's wait and see. It's not beneficial for us to find the captain now. Let's get in touch with this strange Deputy Director more. Perhaps it will be more beneficial to our future."
