"It's okay. hp://772e6f742e6f%6▲∴, the ship materials are all taken to the wood processing factory by my father and uncles. We just assemble them, caulk the seams ourselves, and install the equipment." Qian Duoduo said De Yundanfengqing said, "It's no better than before. You have to do everything yourself - many things are ready-made."
"Actually, we can make the paint ourselves..." A voice came from behind the boat. A girl came out from behind the boat. It was Dr. Zhong's adopted daughter Xiaoying.
In order to avoid suspicion and avoid being said to be engaged in the "Guangyuanji Project", Zhong Lishi formally went through the adoption procedures at the general office and formally adopted Zhong Xiaoying.
After adoption, in theory Zhong Xiaoying can enter the Academy to study as a "senior child", but Dr. Zhong feels that the knowledge she has mastered is too messy and unsystematic, and she will be uncomfortable entering the Academy, and he also needs a capable assistant. Be around. Just keep it with you and educate yourself.
However, he still cautiously registered Zhong Xiaoying's student status at the Academy, but he didn't usually go to school. Although she did not study here, as a "daughter of a patriarch", without this previous academic qualifications, her status as a "daughter of a patriarch" would be greatly reduced, and she would lose many powerful alumni. Although Dr. Zhong does not intend to pass his seat to his adopted daughter, he hopes that she will at least occupy a favorable position in the future empire.
Lin Ziqi had met Zhong Xiaoying several times before and knew that she was Zhong Lishi's adopted daughter.
She didn't know that this adopted daughter was very talented, but she was very knowledgeable. Everything she talks about is clear and logical, and she is a genuine 21st century girl. In many aspects of knowledge, he is far inferior to her. Lin Ziqi was somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhong Xiaoying has clean short hair and wears the same style of Haihun shirt as Qian Duoduo. Wearing canvas shorts, her exposed skin is tanned, and she has a toned body. She doesn't look like a girl from the 17th century at all.
The most important thing is her Mandarin, which is well-spoken and well-spoken. Although she has a slight Cantonese accent, her speaking skills are much more standard than some elders from Guangdong.
No wonder her father said that environment changes people the most. There are no traces of her past life on Zhong Xiaoying. Dr. Zhong is indeed a "doctor", and even the women he trains are different.
Like Dad and Uncle Zhang. There are really ** silks everywhere...
Lin Ziqi sighed with mixed emotions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Tell me, how are you going to get the white paint?" Qian Duoduo has always been worried about the lack of white paint, not only because the boat he made with his own hands cannot be used, but the white paint of the Feiyun itself has also fallen off over the years. They are few, mottled, and very unsightly. The three families have been thinking about getting some paint to completely paint the boat.
The chemical industry in Lingao has made great progress now, but the people in the chemical industry don't pay much attention to paint. Basically, it is enough and it can be used. They mainly use raw lacquer, tung oil and coal tar. Mainly natural and black. Some colored paints were produced in small quantities, and white paints, which were primarily decorative, were almost entirely unproduced.
"Dr. Zhong said -" Zhong Xiaoying started with this sentence many times. She was not used to calling Dr. Zhong "Dad" yet, "Australia's white paint mainly uses titanium dioxide for coloring. We don't have titanium dioxide here, but You can use zinc white and lead white as paint. But the color is not white enough, and it is not as beautiful and shiny as the white one on the Feiyun."
"It's good if it's white. The requirements can't be too high." Qian Duoduo said.
"The key is that the paint must have a solvent. Dad said that it's not impossible to do it at our industrial level. It's just a little troublesome. He said to make it simple, just use tung oil to mix lead white or zinc white powder - but the color is not white enough."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier..." Qian Duoduo said dissatisfied.
"I'm just talking to Dr. Zhong. Besides, if the factory doesn't produce, you can't adjust it yourself." Zhong Xiaoying said,
"That's right. And white lead is poisonous. I remember one of the elders said in the past that the powder used to wipe the face over there is made of powder polished from lead. It's so scary. It's so scary to apply it directly on the face without any trace of lead. Poisoned? I don’t know where I can get zinc white powder? Can I just take a piece of zinc and polish it?”
"It seems to be made by calcining ore. I don't know the details. But its scientific name is zinc oxide. According to the general chemical reaction, I think zinc white can also be obtained by directly burning zinc." Zhong Xiaoying said very seriously.
Lin Ziqi turned her head boredly. She was not interested in this topic at all.
"...If there is zinc white, it can be made more elaborate." Zhong Xiaoying seems to be very interested in this topic, "Use refined cooked linseed oil to prepare it, and use turpentine or camphor oil as the solvent - I am in Taiwan I saw them refining camphor oil and then adding natural wax. If you want it to look better, you can add mica rock powder to create a pearlescent effect..."
"Taiwan? Are you talking about Formosa?"
Before Zhong Xiaoying finished speaking, an out-of-tune Mandarin voice suddenly rang out, startling Lin Ziqi: Who is this!
Judging from this weird tone, he must be a foreigner, but even though Miss Mendoza couldn't speak a word of Chinese at that time, now her Mandarin is not so awkward.
"Sonia, please don't be so sudden, okay?" Qian Duoduo covered her chest, "It's scary!"
"Sorry, sorry, I heard someone say Formosa, no, Taiwan, and I couldn't help it." The person who came was indeed a Caucasian girl with blond curly hair, wearing a straw hat decorated with ribbons, navy blue. eyes, petite figure, wearing a blue dress with white lace on the collar, looking like a doll.
Although she had never seen it before, Lin Ziqi knew that this blond girl must be the Portuguese girl who made a big splash at the auction, causing several senators to bid, and was finally acquired by Lin Hanlong - she had become the Senate's favorite. It's an urban legend.
"Let me introduce to everyone, this is Sonia Lili Sharpe."
"Lisbon needs a naturalist." Before Qian Duoduo finished speaking, the girl quickly added.
"Don't worry about your title." Qian Duoduo said, "These two are the daughters of elders. Ah, no, Ziqi is a elder herself, just like me - underage."
Sonia held up the hem of her skirt and made a deep curtsy: "You two ladies."
Lin Ziqi quickly reached out her hand: "My name is Lin Ziqi, just call me Ziqi."
Zhong Xiaoying was even more uncomfortable and didn't know where to put her hands: "Well, don't... my name is Zhong Xiaoying. I'm not a young lady..."
"You guys should stop being so polite. Come on, let's have a drink first."
Although Qian Duoduo is young, she is very generous and immediately invites everyone to rest under the shade canopy next to the boat rack. The bucket has already been soaked with cold kvass. Although the four people have different identities, they are similar in age and live in similar living environments in Lingao, so they easily started chatting.
Compared to Lin Ziqi and Zhong Xiaoying, Sonia is more interested in this small boat. Portugal is a maritime country. She often goes out to sea for inspections and is very familiar with navigation and ships. Qian Duoduo's boat reminded her of some boats on the Atlantic coast, which were quite similar to this one.
"This boat is so beautiful." She said sincerely, "This is not a Junk boat, but more like a European-style boat! I guess its sailing performance must be good."
"Of course." Qian Duoduo said proudly. I will go into the water today and plan to sail along this coast.
Lin Ziqi was skeptical: "This boat is so small, can it go into the sea? It capsized in a big wave."
"No problem." Sonia said with certainty, "The boat's wave resistance is very good. If it is loaded with enough water and dry food, I can use it to sail to Batavia, or even sail across the sea to New Zealand. Spain is no problem." She said with a glow of enthusiasm on her face.
Lin Ziqi was doubtful, but she was neither familiar with nor interested in it. She just kept wondering why Zhang Yunmi didn't come yet? Could it be that you had a quarrel with that secretary at home? still……
While I was thinking wildly, I heard Qian Duoduo laugh: "You are going to sail to Batavia, and Uncle Lin must fight for me."
When she said this, Sonia suddenly showed a lonely smile: "Yes, I am a slave."
Qian Duoduo realized that he had made a mistake and stopped talking. The atmosphere in the shed was a little awkward for a while. Zhong Xiaoying hurriedly said: "I was also a slave when I came to Lingao. Is the contract for sale or a non-contract? That is, a slave who is never allowed to be free."
"Not everyone has such good luck as you." Sonia sighed, "To be honest: My luck is not bad and I didn't end up in a terrible harem. This place is more tolerant than I thought, even It's also very free, and the master is a learned man. He taught me a lot of unheard of knowledge, and many mysterious books..." When she talked about these mysterious books, her eyes lit up, and then she He sighed again and said with regret, "If it weren't for the fact that I am a slave..."
"If it weren't for you being a slave, you wouldn't be able to read these books at all." Lin Ziqi interjected, "Humph, just be content. Not just anyone can learn the dark...knowledge of the elders! "
Sonia was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "You are right."
Qian Duoduo felt that what Lin Ziqi said was too harsh and deliberately changed the subject: "Sonia, you heard that you are so excited about Taiwan Island and want to go?" Qian Duoduo asked.
"Well, ever since I knew I came to China, I have always wanted to visit this big island." Sonia nodded, "I have seen some pamphlets written by the Dutch. This island is completely undeveloped. There should be many Something worth seeing." (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
