Vast Sea Shipyard
Quan Yue and Su Ling'er did not get off the carriage. Instead, they sat inside and began to observe the entire dock along the shore.
As the only port city of the Heaven Dou Empire, hundreds of ships are moored along its shore.
Among them, the large ocean-going vessels have a hull length exceeding 100 meters.
From the shore, the large ship looks like a towering hill, and its shadow can cover most of the dock.
Even the well-traveled Quan Yue and Su Ling'er were deeply shocked when they saw the colossal man-made structure standing tall in the sea.
"How much money and time would it take to build such a huge ship!"
Upon seeing the real ship, Su Ling'er realized that establishing a foothold here would not be an easy task.
Quan Yue replied, "No need to rush. We can start by building Xiao Yi boats and accumulate experience."
Then, use small boats to train and train enough seafarers.
You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.
Let's start with what we can do, and gradually we'll be able to do it to the same level, or even better.
Quan Yue has a calm and composed personality, and he was able to maintain his calm thinking even after seeing the large ship.
He had a clear plan and arrangements in mind.
After touring most of the area, the carriage finally stopped next to a giant domed building.
Quan Yue and Su Ling'er stepped off the carriage.
The domed building is over 100 meters high, and the main entrance is fully open. The height and width of the entrance are nearly 100 meters, extending almost to the top of the dome.
Therefore, from the front, the interior of the building is completely visible. In fact, since there is a similar gate on the opposite side, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er can even pass through the building and see the sea across the way.
The sea breeze blows through the two open doors, carrying a mixture of salty, fishy, and woody scents.
Inside the building, there are various large pieces of timber and ship skeletons that are still in their infancy.
Countless workers and carpenters gathered together, making the interior of the building bustling with noise.
These people had serious and focused expressions on their faces as they concentrated intently on their shipbuilding work.
Su Ling'er clicked her tongue in praise, "As expected of the largest Shipyard in Vast Sea City. Its scale and size are even larger than the Great Soul Arena in the main city."
"The Shipyard is the pillar industry of Vast Sea City. In this Far West Land, even the Soul Fight Arena can't make more money than it."
Moreover, this Vast Sea Shipyard is the largest in Vast Sea City, manufacturing medium to large-sized ships, each with an astronomical price tag.
The building that Quan Yue and Su Ling'er arrived at was called Vast Sea Shipyard.
More than 80 percent of the boats at Vast Sea City Wharf are made by them.
"Let's go inside and take a look." Quan Yue took Su Ling'er's hand and walked into the huge building.
At the entrance of the Shipyard, fully armed soldiers were checking everyone entering.
Due to its special importance, this Shipyard has the official support of Vast Sea City.
Therefore, the Shipyard has a considerable number of troops stationed here.
The soldiers conducting the search noticed that Quan Yue and Su Ling'er possessed remarkable qualities and appearances, and they began to take the two seriously.
"You two don't look like residents of Vast Sea City. Are you here to commission a shipbuilding project?"
Quan Yue smiled calmly and said, "My wife and I have indeed just moved to Vast Sea City, but we plan to stay here permanently."
Therefore, we came here specifically to order the boat.
The soldier understood and said, "I see. Since this is your first time here, I will arrange for someone to serve you exclusively."
Then the soldier turned to the man not far away and said, "Mr. Jiang Jun, two distinguished guests have arrived who want to buy a ship. Please come out and greet them."
The slender but tall man turned around and replied, "No problem, please follow me."
Jiang Jun was dressed in simple gray clothes, and judging from his appearance, he was roughly around thirty years old.
However, his presence stood out among the group of strong, sweat-soaked workers.
Moreover, Jiang Jun's appearance is not like that of a resident of Vast Sea City. He has fair skin and a tall stature. From his appearance, he looks more like someone from the inland.
When Jiang Jun passed by, the workers would stop what they were doing and stand at attention to salute him.
"Everyone, please be careful." Jiang Jun waved and greeted the workers in a friendly tone.
Quan Yue discovered that Jiang Jun, this seemingly ordinary young man, actually held considerable prestige within the Shipyard.
Jiang Jun led them to a quiet room.
The room was located in a secluded corner of the site, which was an open space used for shipbuilding.
There are rows of rooms only on the four walls.
In the center of the room was a sofa for guests. Quan Yue and Su Ling'er sat on the sofa and looked around.
The room was filled with the fragrance of ink, and in addition to various small wooden boat sculptures, there were also many blueprints and books.
"Distinguished guests, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Jun, and I am the deputy director of Vast Sea Shipyard."
Jiang Jun has a gentle and refined temperament, more like a teacher than a shipbuilder.
But unexpectedly, this thin man turned out to be a big shot in the factory.
But why would the deputy factory director personally greet the guests at the entrance?
A hint of doubt arose in Quan Yue's mind.
"So you're the deputy factory manager. Hello, my name is Quan Yue. I'm here today to order a seagoing vessel."
A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Jun's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and asked calmly, "Oh, may I ask what size seagoing vessel you would like to order?"
"Medium size, not too big. But I have 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, so that even ordinary Hundred-Year Soul Beast cannot damage the hull."
When Jiang Jun started talking about the ship, he became quite agitated, stood up abruptly, and began to ramble on about the shipbuilding process.
After listening to Jiang Jun's explanation, Quan Yue gained a basic understanding of ships.
Moreover, the specific design plan provided by Jiang Jun also met his requirements.
"Alright, let's order one right here."
Quan Yue didn't hesitate much and directly chose to customize one.
Jiang Jun seemed surprised that Quan Yue would agree so readily. "Okay, okay, Mr. Quan, I'll go get the stamp and contract now."
With that, Jiang Jun abandoned the two of them and rushed out of the room alone.
Quan Yue and Su Ling'er felt uneasy upon seeing Jiang Jun's behavior.
Su Ling'er asked softly, "Husband, this person doesn't seem very reliable. Should we directly contact the factory manager to commission the shipbuilding?"
Quan Yue shared the same opinion, but instead of making a move, he chose to wait and see.
"Let's wait and see. Going to find the captain now won't be good for us. Let's spend more time with this strange deputy factory manager first. It might be more beneficial for our future."
