Chapter 640: Can't pretend to go back
The ship is not small in size, and the furnace power station only retains heat and energy conversion.
At least the equipment has been reduced by half, so there should be no problem loading it into the ship.
Even if it is still large, it can be reduced appropriately.
Wu Heng clapped his hands and said, "Yes, write this down and make preparations when the time comes."
Then, the mind continues to ponder.
In addition to the matters regarding Granda and the frigate, the pen and watch factories on Treasure Island must also start construction as soon as possible.
In terms of equipment, Wuheng has already shipped it to the factory here.
The skeletons have also been arranged, waiting for the skeleton artificer to assemble the equipment and then start production.
The original material can support it for a period of time.
By then, the ordered materials had almost been delivered, especially oak sap, which is a material for the pen case.
It is also a material for many rubber products.
In another world, it is not difficult to obtain.
After mass production of these two items is completed, within a few years, they can become a stable income for Treasure Island.
Continued to think for a while.
“And there are enemies.”
“The Secret Order, the Divine Punishment Sect, and the exiled families of the Vampire Clan.”
“It's easy to do on land and on ships, but it's a bit difficult to deal with flying units, especially the vampires who can become invisible.”
“Well, we should pay attention to this aspect and look for a solution.”
Think about all the issues.
Wu Heng closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
“Watches are on sale, next to the pen shop.”
One morning, someone shouted from a distance.
With the spread of similar words, the whole city seemed to come alive, and figures gathered towards the central area.
Looked at the price board at the door, and talked in low voices while queuing.
“The price is a bit outrageous. The regular version costs 4 gold coins. What's the difference between this and robbery?”
“Then don't wait in line.”
“I'm just saying, don't push me, I managed to get a front position.”
“Whatever you want to grab, any chamber of commerce that develops something like this can sell it for a sky-high price.”
“I feel like other chambers of commerce might just come up with something just for the royal family.”
"that is!"
Beacon Street.
In the open space behind a tavern, Brittany took the handed glass of water and took a sip to moisten her dry throat.
Since the last time the island owner allowed the adaptation of the short story "Benny the Blushing Maid", she and several tavern maids began planning the rehearsal.
Due to her good looks and good temperament, she was able to win a major role.
It is not the protagonist Beni, but the male protagonist Wu Heng.
Compared to the other maids who were replaced by Penny, Brittany admires Wu Heng more and is very lucky to have won this role.
“Why is it so busy outside?” Brittany asked softly.
"The island owner's mansion has started selling watches. I heard that the cheapest one costs 4 gold coins." The maid sat aside, holding her chin, and couldn't help but added, "Island owner, you are really amazing."
Brittany's eyes were a little wandering, and she continued, "I didn't expect that he made the potions, pens, and watches all by himself. Layla, tell me why he didn't help me."
The maid glanced at her princess and said, "Princess, he has just become the owner of the island, and it is also the first time you have met, so you may have many concerns!"
Brittany sighed, "Actually, thinking about it, my request was a bit naive at the time."
“The island owner is so kind and you are so beautiful, he won't blame you.” The maid comforted with a smile.
Brittany still looked a little depressed and said softly, "It would be better if we met earlier."
“Princess, let me help you queue up to buy a watch. I heard that there are men's and women's watches,” the maid continued.
“Don't waste it, we have to live on the island for a while, and that kind of watch is of little use to us.”
"All right!"
In a mansion.
The window is open, and two light stones are supported on both sides of the desk.
A dwarf artificer, wearing a single-sided glasses and holding a tool in his hand, carefully put the disassembled parts back into the dial.
On one side of the desk, there are densely packed parts, large and small, and each part has its own number.
As time went by, sweat appeared on the dwarf's forehead and kept sliding down his cheeks.
Finally, he put the tools back on the table.
Leaning back on the chair a little tiredly.
“How is it?” Not far away, a man in a purple dress immediately stood up and asked.
A few other people waiting for the results also looked over.
In the morning, after I bought the watch, I started to arrange for the magician to dismantle it.
This time I dismantled the third watch, the first two failed.
The dwarf turned to look at him and said, "I still can't pretend to go back."
“Can't you put it back? Haven't you marked it all!”
The dwarf pointed at the table, "There are still 12 parts, and the dial we reinstalled no longer keeps time."
this….
In other words, I have lost 12 gold coins in one morning.
“If we dismantle it again, will there be any progress?” the man asked.
The dwarf artificer shook his head, "Not sure. I think we can send these parts back to the other party and let them assemble them as an after-sales service. I might be able to put them back after taking a look at them." Several people were stunned.
If you take it apart like this and send it back, you will know that it will be copied.
It's okay to do it secretly and send it back, which is somewhat provocative.
One of them said: "Why don't you take a break first? I'll go see how other chambers of commerce are doing. Then we can communicate together and maybe we can make some progress."
"That's okay, it's too long, you might as well take a break." The other people also followed suit.
The dwarf artificer said nothing and looked at his watch again.
Walking towards the room.
The island lord's mansion.
Wu Heng stretched his body and swatted away the bees swirling around the teacup.
The scented tea of the elves has a strong floral fragrance, which can easily attract bees and butterflies.
At this time, Granda flew back first, floating to one side, and said: "Those chambers of commerce really took your watch apart and analyzed the structure inside."
This news was not surprising to Wu Heng, and he had even thought of it a long time ago.
“Which chamber of commerce?”
"Everything! Including the Flower of Stars, but Shannella definitely doesn't know that she is still sleeping at home." Glenda said something, and then added, "There are several chambers of commerce that have not been dismantled and are also waiting for the strange equipment to arrive on the island. division."
“What about the effect? It should be the production of accessories.”
“No, the most difficult thing for them is that they can't put it back together after taking it apart. Before I came back, no one could put it back together completely,” Granda said.
“Is it so...difficult?”
"It seems to be quite difficult. They suffered a heavy loss. The price was not low, and a lot of them were demolished." Granda said with a smile.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "That's good, it will increase their cost of imitation."
"Hmm." Glenda nodded, and then suggested: "Don't we have after-sales service in the store? You can change the rules and do not give after-sales service for things that are man-made damage. Otherwise, they will be repaired in the next two days."
"That makes sense." Wu Heng motioned for her to become invisible first, and called the maid Annette, asking her to go to the store and change the after-sales rules.
Annette nodded in response and walked out of the island owner's mansion with the skeleton.
Then, Beini and Xiaoxiao also flew back one after another.
Beni said: "The store sells very quickly, and the best-selling ones are ordinary watches."
“There's no problem with your position in the queue.”
“It's okay, they all obey the rules.” Penny said.
Xiao Xiao raised his hand and said, "Uncle, I found a man who stole the wallet in the queue, and I had him arrested by the skeleton."
Wu Heng and the other two ghosts looked at her at the same time.
“How were you caught?”
“I possessed him and controlled him to punch the skeleton, and then the skeleton knife was put on his neck.” Xiaoxiao said while gesturing.
This is also a solution.
Looking at Xiaoxiao, waiting for praise, Wu Heng said: "Xiaoxiao is so smart. He relied on his resourcefulness to catch the bad guy."
“No, it should be done.” Xiaoxiao happily circled around his head.
Overall, the sale of watches has been quite successful.
Furthermore, it also proves that it is difficult for others to imitate.
Modern technology is not the same as the development of this world.
Even if you can put it back together and understand the operating principle inside, the production of those parts will be enough to study for a while.
Wu Heng has enough time to continuously make money from sales.
While talking, Minnie walked out of the house.
He shouted to this side: "Master, Philippa has received news, saying that we are approaching the Lingassar route."
So fast!
According to the sailing time, we should be able to arrive tomorrow morning.
But Philippa's side was obviously much faster than planned. It set off yesterday afternoon and was close to the route this morning.
The speed of the frigate is still faster than the ships in this world.
"I know, I'm going upstairs now." Wu Heng returned to the house and went upstairs along the stairs.
The three ghosts also flew directly back to the study to go about their own business.
Enter the radio room.
Picked up the frigate's radio microphone on the same frequency band and said, “Philippa, can you hear me?”
"Yes, I'm close to the route, which direction should I go now." Philippa's voice came over.
“Wait a moment.”
Wu Heng took out the jade sand tray and looked inside.
In the sand table, you can see the entire sea area and the passing ships.
At a glance, there are a large number of ships on each route, and the number has increased several times than before.
The flags of each caravan are flying.
Wu Heng looked at the "Ling Jiaxi Route" and found traces of the pirate group.
Seven pirate ships, flying black hurricane pirate flags, are chasing three merchant ships ahead.
Although there is a certain distance between the two sides, the pirate ship is faster and gradually closes the distance.
“There are 7 pirate ships, these guys are looking for death.”
Wu Heng picked up the microphone and said: "You can see it if you sail forward for a certain distance."
"Okay." Philippa agreed, and then heard the ordering voice, "Keep moving forward."
Not long.
Philippa's voice came over again, "Dad, you can see it. Several ships are fighting together. I can't tell which one is the pirate ship."
Wu Heng looked at the sand table and said: "The first ship, three and four are merchant ships, and the rest are all pirate ships. Your distance is within range, so just fire."
"clear!"
