Chapter 26: Yang Feng's New Toy

  The group of Chinese workers led by the Korean didn't keep Yang Feng waiting for too long. This opportunity was too rare to miss, and it could be said that it was a turning point in life. Besides, working for a fellow countryman is always better than working for those foreigners. As for having to go to Western Australia, no one really cared about that either - to them, Western Australia and the US were all the same, just foreign soil. And besides, there were also Chinese laborers in that place.

  So Yang Feng got his first batch of Chinese laborers, a total of 40 people. In addition, he was also responsible for solving their family members, a total of 62 people, including five elderly people who were unable to work, two pregnant women, and 30 female workers who were able to work. The rest were all children. Looking at this number, Yang boss had a bitter smile on his face, thinking that he was going to do the planning era state-owned enterprise rhythm.

  But that's not a big deal for him, first send a telegram to Sweden, let them find a cheap land in Gothenburg to build a dormitory, when they return, just let them live together, shared toilet, shared kitchen, one room per family, anyway, they are now like a primitive tribe, it's just to make them become a primitive tribe living in modern buildings.

  As for the school, it's better to build it in London, let these kids grow up in the most prosperous modern city from a young age, and then feed them more about the brutality of Western colonial powers' looting and exploitation on a daily basis. Just like how the Incas were directly annihilated, the scalps of Indians were stripped off, and opium was sold to China to drain the blood and sweat of Chinese people. Let them know from a young age that the prosperity of foreigners is built on the white bones of colonies. As for the traditional virtues education you received as Chinese people since childhood, throw it away quickly! From now on, you must work hard to make yourself strong, and then go out to be the strong one who preys on the weak, lying on the white bones of the weak, embracing their women, and drinking their blood.

  However, the number of 40 laborers was still a bit short, and it was estimated that there were about 400. After thinking for a moment, he called the Korean side to his office and gave him his first task as his employee, going out to recruit people with gold panning experience, Chinese workers, of course, the conditions for these people would not be so generous, arranging family members such good things, must wait until after work let Mr. Yang satisfied, can be given as a reward, now at most give a resettlement fee.

  This task is not difficult for the Korean side, as he has been to several concentrated areas of Chinese workers in the United States. According to Yang Feng's estimate, this guy must also be organized, such as some kind of hall or something, which makes it more convenient for him to act. The Korean side, who accepted the task, quickly took a group of Chinese workers to various parts of the United States to gather Yang Feng's workforce.

  As for whether such people will bring hidden dangers, this Yang boss really doesn't care. These gangsters, to put it bluntly, are just a bunch of poor guys huddling together for warmth. As long as they are given a truly good life, they will disperse in no time. Haven't you seen that even the Hongmen of later generations can be kept as pets?

  These Chinese workers went out to recruit for him, and American industries were steadily building up everywhere. Yang Feng himself ran to Texas City and quietly sailed out to sea with a small boat. He had to bring a batch of goods back from America to Europe, which was very beneficial for confusing the situation. It's worth knowing that there were already many speculations about the source of those goods at this time, and of course, many of them were put out by himself. Anyway, it was just stirring up the water, the more chaotic the guesses were, the better, even if they guessed to Antarctica.

  When he took the train to Texas, the shuttle that was originally in the outer sea of New York also drove along the American coastline to the outer sea of Texas City according to his instructions. After Yang Feng left the port and arrived at night, the beautiful woman's avatar who received his summons immediately floated out of the water.

  This time, bringing goods back is a small matter. The key is that Mr. Yang wants to get a yacht that can sail across the ocean. His Black Arrow is a bit too small after all. Running around in Europe is no problem, but if he wants to cross the Atlantic or go to China in the future, it's not very convenient. As for his cruiser under construction, a speed of over 20 knots is still too slow. It must be at least 35 knots.

  Such a ship is actually easy to build, like the Black Arrow, it's just an alloy steel frame, then add a titanium alloy hull, and inside, add more watertight compartments. The structural part is not a big deal for the beauty queen, I estimate that building a 1,000-ton yacht would only take a few days, but this propulsion system is not easy to choose.

  For a yacht like this, if you want to maintain a cruising speed of 35 knots, the engine power must be at least tens of thousands of horsepower. It's obvious that his current engine is definitely not enough, and it's impossible to install hundreds of diesel or gasoline engines in series.

  "We still have two large ship diesel engines." The beautiful woman replied simply to his question.

  She said that, and Yang Feng suddenly remembered that he actually had two such diesel engines here. This kind of power monster with a horsepower of over 20,000 was what he used to sell to Xiao Xi for making warships. Moreover, not only did he have the diesel engine, but also a complete set of drawings, which means that he could not only use it, but also manufacture it himself in the beautiful girl's avatar. Of course, this point would not be considered for the time being. In this era, having something like a Parsons steam turbine was enough, and there was no need to bring out something too good.

  The power problem has been solved, and there is also a transmission system. This is just a small matter, whether it's a gear reducer or a propeller, it doesn't pose any difficulty for the beautiful captain. However, when it comes to the control system, careful consideration is needed. This isn't like his little yacht, where he can just casually install a steering wheel and be done with it. Unless he has the Incredible Hulk's physical strength, he won't be able to control this ship.

  Fortunately, his computer had all sorts of ship design materials that he didn't lack. After studying them, he finally solved the problem. As for what to build next, it was entirely up to the beautiful female avatar. This ship, in order to satisfy comfort and safety, was chosen by him to be a lengthened trimaran structure, which would allow it to navigate most inland waterways. The displacement was around 1,500 tons, equipped with two diesel engines with a total power of 40,000 horsepower. This configuration would have been sufficient even for a modern missile boat, and reaching speeds over 40 knots was no problem at all. Cruising at 35 knots was completely stress-free.

  Yang Dabo sat comfortably, watching the hundreds of mechanical arms extending from the beautiful woman's avatar, busily working like assembly line robots in a car factory. As each alloy steel material was welded together, the skeleton of the Trisolaran spaceship gradually took shape. Suddenly, he remembered something very important amidst his boredom.

  This is the Gulf of Mexico, and to the east is the narrow waterway between Havana, Cuba and Florida, which was the main route for Spanish colonizers to transport gold from Mexico. Countless ships were pulled underwater by the vengeful spirits of the Aztecs. Take just one ship, the Atocha, which carried eight tons of gold and hundreds of kilograms of jewels, worth tens of millions of pounds in today's currency.

  Apart from this one, there are countless such sunken ships, and not just in the Gulf of Mexico, but also in Spanish waters, Colombian waters... The ocean is simply an endless treasure trove. With a good business like this, even if I couldn't return later, this world would still be a place where I could play as I please.

  But first I have to consult and see if the beauty avatar has this function.

  "Can you detect gold underwater?" he asked with a fervent expression?

  "It's okay within one kilometer." The beautiful woman with a headshot said expressionlessly.

  That's no problem, it's just a matter of letting her turn a few more laps, anyway there's nothing to do underwater, as for processing aluminum alloy jewelry and machine parts, this can be done part-time.

  "Alright, after you've finished with this ship, go to the northern route of Havana and search for gold and jewels on sunken ships. I'll come find you before we head back to Europe." Yang Feng said contentedly.

  The beautiful woman nodded her head.

  His trimaran was not completed until a week later, and like the Black Arrow, it was sprayed with black paint used for submarines. The whole ship looked like a black ghost in the moonlight, and if such a science fiction-like monster appeared at this time in the port, I estimate that the effect would be similar to that of a modern UFO suddenly landing on Times Square.

  "Too high-profile, but I like it!" Boss Yang said with a sly smile.

  This is not just a high-speed yacht, under its bow deck, a set of retractable torpedo launchers are installed, with quadruple torpedo tubes and 533mm heavy-duty guided torpedoes, making it fearless even when facing a Kirov-class battleship, which can be killed in seconds from 50 kilometers away.

  In addition to the torpedo, there were also four dual 37mm anti-aircraft gun positions reserved, although in this era there weren't many planes for him to shoot at. But with the firing speed of these anti-aircraft guns, dealing with pirates and the like would be a breeze. You know, now pirates are quite rampant.

  "What should we name this ship? The Duli? The Plunderer? The Nautilus? This name is not bad, the great Captain Nemo and his Nautilus, it's just that it seems to be missing a six-wheeled luxury car, which can be had, using the dual-engine of the Tiger Tank, then adding a hydraulic coupling gearbox, the rest is just the chassis and suspension. Mr. Yang quickly chose a name for this trimaran, although the movie was indeed very bad, but that submarine and that six-wheeled car were cool to the extreme."

  What's more, this way he can sell those useless engines of his. If a car like that appears on the streets of London, those European tycoons will go crazy, no need to say more than 500,000 pounds will definitely break their heads.
