Chapter 649 The Kind and Generous Miser
"How can this be fun!?"
Tang En wanted to overturn the table, but nothing else. The water-powered magic engine is so effective when used on the warship, it is too good!
At the beginning, he only considered the insufficient speed of the warship, so he streamlined the various additional equipment on the warship as much as possible, and even planned to use a magic shield to achieve it, which greatly reduced the weight of the warship, but he did not expect that the final result was too fast!
And this is not the speed of no-load, but the speed of the speed after being filled with supplies and ammunition!
After returning from the maiden voyage, the old navy were shocked and blew up. After getting off the ship, they couldn't stand the highway, let alone the group of rangers recruited by Tang En.
The sea conditions are different from the land conditions. The sea conditions are too complicated. Turbulence, undercurrents, ocean currents, monsoons, submarine terrain, etc. will affect the ship. The ship's speed reaches 180 kilometers per hour. This is not high performance, it is deadly!
Of course it would be better to sail so fast in calm days, but if you drive so fast in strong winds and waves, the boat will be destroyed in minutes, and you will be even fart!
At that speed, if the ship wants to turn and the angle is slightly larger, the people on the deck will be thrown out by inertia. The people in the cabin cannot get it well, and it is still good to paste the wall. If you are not lucky, you can throw your head to the raised area and gg directly.
Therefore, if the speed is to be reduced, it must be reduced. The speed must be reduced to at least 120 kilometers per hour, which is only about 66 knots to be considered a safety value!
Why use a thousand meters without a festival? The answer is to save trouble! Anyway, there is no old tradition of sailing on the earth. The crew members worship the goddess of water Anitalle or the god of wind Icardis. There is no special tradition, it can be used for a thousand meters per hour.
Even at 120 kilometers per hour, this kind of navigation speed is amazing. After all, it is not as good as land or air at sea, and there are too many emergencies.
Reduce and decrease!
Tang En immediately started to slow down the engine. Fortunately, this kind of job only requires adjusting the upper limit of the magic power output of the magic array, and there is no need to do any major projects, so it will not waste too much time.
However, Tang En did not completely limit the engine to death. He re-established the speed range. Low-speed safety cruise speeds below 60 kilometers per hour are low-speed safety cruise speeds, 60-80 is green standard cruise speeds, 80-100 is yellow high-speed cruise speeds, and 100-120 is red emergency evasion speeds. As for 120-160, it is limited by a separate small magic array. Under normal circumstances, this speed cannot be activated. Only if the captain presses the button in the hidden place can he unlock this extreme speed that can soar to the sky. As for the situation used... I am afraid that there is only the life and death juncture of escape.
It took Tang En an hour to readjust the engines of the sixteen battleships, and then another second armed test. This time, including the old navy and the newly recruited rangers, all need to be on the battleship. Danny and others who have personally operated the weapons will teach these people step by step.
Although ordinary crew members do not need to operate weapons, if dangerous situations occur, such as when the rangers encounter unexpected situations and no one else is available, they must also bite the bullet and put on the top, so the necessary operational knowledge still needs to be known.
There is still half a month left. During this half month, these rangers and the soldiers supported by Tang En must stay on the warships to accommodate the next maritime war.
Watching the fleet carry the soldiers out of the port, Don Eun turned back to deal with the remaining matters of the Fila Shipyard.
For example, wages or something.
Tang En promised that these people would double the bonus every day in advance. Unfortunately, no matter how cunning the employees were, they could not count as bosses. They fought their lives and barely stuck the task to the fourteenth night. Now a group of people were sitting there waiting for Tang En to settle the wages.
Even Bismarck Hood, the original head of the shipyard, stared at him. Although he was not poor, he didn't want to miss such a sum of money.
"Have you calculated it?"
"It's already done."
Fiona raised her head, said expressionlessly, and then repeated confirmation: "Are you sure you want to do this? You have to know that you will spend twice the amount of extra wages in just one word."
Originally, according to the agreement with Tang En, these people did not complete the task ahead of schedule, and each of them had only one thousand gold coins. However, Tang En felt that they worked very hard and deserved the reward, so each person added an additional bonus of one thousand gold coins.
The 1,165 people from the shipyard, plus the 246 technicians whom Ellington came to support, each of them had a bonus of 2,000 gold coins, which means that this time Tang En would have to spend 2,820 million gold coins.
“Money is not the most important thing to us, isn’t it?”
Tang En spread his hands and said innocently: "What's more, it is because of their efforts that we can complete the task smoothly, so don't let the supporters believe that our people are disappointed, dear Ms. Fiona."
Tang En immediately conquered Fiona, who was in a ruthless mode with a dear word. Her face turned slightly red, and then muttered, "Forget it, just be happy."
Fiona came outside with Tang En, holding a notebook, and her face once again returned to her rigid and ruthless appearance. This was a good disguise, making people who wanted to get close to sympathy with her feel that she was impeccable.
"Everyone, let me know something before paying the wages."
Fiona's calm voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "Before the start of construction, Your Majesty and you reached an agreement that the bonus could double every day before completion. Now it seems that even if you have received a lot of support, you have not completed this agreement, so according to the contract, everyone present can only receive a salary of one thousand gold coins."
The workers standing in the audience were very depressed, but they were speechless. There was no way. It was indeed because they failed to fulfill the agreement, not because His Majesty was betrayed the debt.
But soon they became energetic again. Even if they couldn't double the salary of a thousand gold coins was still a lot.
"but."
Fiona turned his mind and looked down at the people below: "The kind Majesty Tang En. He is sympathetic to the people. He knows your hard work and how great you have made to complete the task. Therefore, he gave everyone a special encouragement award. Each person's bonus will double and he can get two thousand gold coins!"
Two thousand gold coins!
The audience was in an uproar, followed by a huge and warm cheer. At this moment, Tang En had truly conquered them and gained their heartfelt support.
For the sake of gold coins, as long as you are willing to issue gold coins, you will be a good king.
"Cheer for His Majesty Tang En!"
"Long live Your Majesty Tang En!"
"His Majesty Tang En is invincible!"
All kinds of messy cheers came one after another, and Tang En even heard the dumbfounded blessings like "His Majesty Tang En is so majestic at night."
His sister, Ye Yuqiannu? Is that guy cursing himself to ejaculate in seconds?
In short, after the bonus was delivered, it was a joyful time for guests and guests. Everyone was smiling and planned to spend money well at night to reward themselves who have worked hard all day and night in the past half month.
"Did you see it?"
Tang En nodded to the bottom: "If they get enough gold coins, they can make their lives more prosperous. The first thing they think of is to spend to improve their lives. These gold coins are just a circle in their hands. After they enter the hands of each boss, part of them becomes taxes and return to the treasury, and the other part flows to other places to stimulate the operation of society. This is the real effect of money."
Fiona thoughtful. In fact, she could now understand Tang En's unique view on economy, but the education she received since childhood was about how to make money, and she had never thought about other principles at all, so she could not make a turn for the time being.
Before leaving, these temporary recruitment workers patted their chests and promised that if they needed, they could come back at any time as long as the salary was still so generous.
After watching the people leave, Don En returned to Ellington with Fiona and his group.
He doesn't have to worry about the matter on the fleet for the time being. Nokia, Locke and the veterans of the Navy will train those recruits into old fried dough sticks, brand new equipment and brand new ships, which will consume all their energy for the past half month.
After a week of trial and training, the fleet returned to the port to replenish supplies, then rested for two days, and then set out under the leadership of Naga's envoy to head to the center of the Abyss Sea, the sea area where humans rarely visited.
The Skybreaker on Cloto will also set off together with the fleet's departure day, providing information on escort and observing sea conditions in the sky.
Now all Tang En can do is wait.
Of course, besides waiting, he can also be busy with other things.
For example, Oscar and Riviz's orders.
Only after the warship parts processing were completed, there were enough manpower and resources to process the Harley Motorcycle civilian production line, which once again gave Tang En the idea of expanding production capacity.
What's wrong is that the staff is still insufficient.
Tang En suddenly thought of a solution: "Why would you rather use my identity to publish a news about Ellington recruiting workers? I think that would definitely be very effective."
"sure."
Fiona glared at Don Eun: "I thought you had thought of this method long ago."
“Not only that!”
Tang En suddenly said with his eyes shining: "We can also take this opportunity to publish labor laws and necessary personal protection policies."
“It’s OK, but how do you ensure the implementation of the policy?”
