Chapter 763: Chapter 617, Naval Gun_2 Chapter 763: Chapter 617, Naval Gun_2 It's just that when the zombie outbreak occurred, someone had driven it away.
But that wasn't a big issue, parking a Skeleton Flying Dragon would serve the same purpose.
And it didn't even require fuel.
“How far is the range of the 127mm naval gun?” Wu Heng continued to ask.
The other party replied, “Effective range is 10,000 meters.”
Ten thousand meters.
That was certainly far enough.
Wu Heng nodded and proceeded to walk around the cabin.
After coming out, he said, “Train the skeletons to operate the warship within three days, and check and maintain some of the equipment.”
The two ship soldiers following behind were starting to sweat on their foreheads, “The time is too tight.”
“There's not so much time to train slowly, hurry up!” Wu Heng said, walking outside.
“Okay, okay,” the two said, wiping their sweat.
Wu Heng glanced around, pointed at several high-level skeletons, “You few, protect these two and also don't let them do anything dangerous.”
Hearing that the naval gun had a range of 10,000 meters, Wu Heng still arranged for the skeletons to watch over them.
In case they really operated the naval gun and fired at the shore.
The two immediately promised, “We won't do anything out of line, please trust us, Leader.”
“Keep it up, you won't be treated unfairly when the time comes,” Wu Heng said, patting their shoulders.
The two saluted again and whispered their thanks.
Wu Heng disembarked from the ship and walked towards the base with Qi Hancai.
On the ship, Li Chengxun and another started to immediately explain the ship's operations to the skeletons that were following them.
Then, Qi Hancai took him for a tour around the base.
In the afternoon, they returned to the port to wait.
Before long, a freighter came into view.
It approached slowly and docked at the port.
Over twenty people disembarked from the ship, men and women, all from the original base.
“Leader, Sister Qi!” The crowd saluted and greeted them.
“You've all worked hard,” Wu Heng nodded.
Qi Hancai also smiled and said, “Let's go, rest up first, then we'll assign tasks to everyone.”
After taking control of Shanfu Port.
Management was somewhat difficult, firstly due to the lack of trustworthy people, and secondly, communication was an issue.
Having only Singh as an interpreter was indeed challenging.
Now that his own people had arrived, things would be much easier.
They entered the base together.
Qi Hancai first arranged rooms for them, then assigned some tasks.
From now on, be it food distribution or warehouse management.
It would all be handled by their own people.
Once everything was arranged, they returned to the hotel.
Qi Hancai came to the outside of Wu Heng's room and knocked lightly.
After receiving a response, she opened the door and walked in.
Inside the room.
Wu Heng said, “First, establish the logistics team, I plan to use this place as a base to advance inland.”
Qi Hancai raised an eyebrow, “Are you going to lead the team personally, or are you planning to send the skeletons to attack?”
“I will take care of important locations personally, the rest will still be carried out by the skeletons,” Wu Heng answered.
This place wasn't as large as the domestic areas.
The entire nation was about the size of one province back home.
The military factories or military research institutes here could be found just by following the road.
It wasn't as difficult as back in the domestic areas, where those locations are hard to find.
Qi Hancai thought for a moment, then said, “Then I'll have someone find a map and mark all the important locations here, so we have clear targets.”
“I'll leave these matters to you,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
Qi Hancai also smiled faintly, “Of course!”
Wu Heng gestured, and Qi Hancai came closer to lean gently in his embrace.
Gold and Silver Island.
Wu Heng delivered the Corpse Core to the Alchemy Room and glanced at the finished elixirs.
There were quite a few of the Level One and Level Two elixirs made.
There were no new Level Three Corpse Nucleus Potions yet.
But there was no rush, it was just a matter of time.
Wu Heng came down from upstairs just as Mini entered from the outside, throwing herself at him with joy, “Master.”
“You're quite happy,” Wu Heng caught her and spun her around in mid-air.
“Not really, I've been with Sister Shanaela watching the construction site all day, it's so tiring, but seeing Master makes me feel so happy,” Mini said softly and coquettishly.
“How's the renovation over there going?” Wu Heng sat down beside her, letting Mini sit on his lap.
Mini thought for a moment and said, “It's progressing very smoothly. That designer said while chatting with Sister Shanaela that it could be done in two or three days.”
“Not bad, the pace.”
As if suddenly remembering something, Mini added, “Oh right, the designer also said that the preparations for Lighthouse Street are all completed, and tomorrow the street lights will be erected and then powered.”
“If you have time tomorrow, go to the design institute and tell them to start work earlier, put up all the street lights, and try to make the island look better before the exhibition,” Wu Heng patted Mini's bottom.
“Got it, Master,” Mini said softly.
At that moment, the door opened.
Andre Willow came in with an owl that was much larger than before on her head, glanced at the two of them, and said smilingly, “Mini is clinging to Master again.”
“Not at all, you Bad Fox,” Mini retorted, looking up.
Wu Heng opened his arms, “Come here, Wei'er, let Master give you a hug too.”
Wei'er, who had just been mocking Mini, blushed slightly and walked over slowly.
She leaned into the embrace and softly called, “Master.”
“Such a good girl!”
Before long, dinner was served on the table.
Robey and Annette also returned from the courtyard and after saluting Wu Heng,
they quietly took their seats at the table.
They dined together.
Zombie World and Gold and Silver Island were both developing in the direction they had been planned.
In another three days, the exhibition could start; by then, the Skeleton would have almost finished learning about the battleship and figured out a way to bring it to this city.
Early in the morning, Wu Heng went straight to pier number two.
The Dwarf designer 'Youssef' followed and asked, “Lord Island Master, do you have any instructions?”
Wu Heng pointed at the gap next to the port, “I plan to build a bigger dock there, mainly needing a sufficiently large door.”
“Are you referring to the kind of dock used for ship repair?”
“Yes, keep the length at two hundred meters, the width above thirty meters, and a minimum draught of five meters,” Wu Heng recollected the dimensions of the escort ship and began to explain.
Youssef, who was originally noting down the numbers, paused and his eyes widened in surprise.
After a moment of contemplation, he still reminded him softly, “Lord, the length of a warship is only about sixty meters, are you sure you need it that big? Wouldn't it be better to build multiple smaller ones?”
“The numbers are correct, build it as I said,” Wu Heng said with certainty.
“Very well, Lord,” the Dwarf quickly took down the instructions.
“Finish it within three days. If time is tight, then first get the door made, and it must have a lock.”
“Three days is a bit tight, I'm afraid we'll need to pull workers from the construction site.”
“Reassign them here, get this done first,” Wu Heng continued to instruct.
The Dwarf designer nodded, “I will have it done for you within three days.”
“I leave it to you,” Wu Heng said and then got back into the carriage to leave.
After returning to the Island Lord's Mansion,
he thought for a bit, took out the [Train Captain's Hat] and put it on his head.
The Phantom Train appeared, and Wu Heng boarded it.
Lighthouse Street.
Clatter~!
A team of Skeletons, carrying metal poles, marched into the main thoroughfare.
Under the watch of surrounding onlookers, the slender poles were erected, and electrical Skeletons began to connect the wiring, and install the bulbs and lampshades.
“It's street lights, the Island Master is putting up street lights for us.”
Someone recognized them as the same as the streetlights in the Central District and immediately shouted out loud.
Following that, the surrounding crowd also erupted with excitement.
“The Island Master really installed streetlights for Lighthouse Street, just like in the Central District!”
“The Island Master is installing streetlights for us, he didn't deceive us!”
“From now on, our place will be as bright as during the day.”
The news about the streetlights quickly spread through the shouts.
The entire street was gradually crowded with people, looking up,
watching the streetlights being erected,
lampshades being fitted, and the Gold and Silver Island flag being hung on the poles as decoration.
The Island Master really installed streetlights for the common residential area.
What was announced in the newspapers was true.
Lopaz City.
Wu Heng, still wearing his mask, remained disguised as the Masked Fisherman.
He sat in the consortium's VIP room for a while.
The door opened, and the local head 'Retili' walked in directly.
With a smile, she greeted, “Good afternoon, guest.”
Wu Heng smiled and asked, “Did the commission I requested last time yield any results?”
Retili smiled confidently, “Of course!”
