"This... is true." Yaha nodded in agreement, "Especially the time when we encountered the pod of beluga whales. If you hadn't insisted that Tang Li look in that direction, and Tang Li could see far enough, I'm afraid we I don’t even know when death is coming.”
"Furthermore, I took Tang Lifei over to confirm. If there was a witch that could keep flying in the sky, there would be no need to go to such trouble." Xia Ye added.
…
After some discussion, the three finally reluctantly accepted Xia Ye's whimsical idea.
Chris finally said: "The biggest question now is whether any company is willing to take this order from us. However, I will ask any manufacturer that can produce aether ramjet thrusters."
"What if not..." Xia Ye asked pitifully.
Chris looked at her big blinking eyes and said helplessly: "...I'll find a way to rub one with my hands, just to prepare for the development of large thrusters in the future."
"Okay!" Xia Ye cheered.
Curran was speechless and pointed at Chris and said: "You are the company's second largest shareholder and our customer after all. Even if you force her to order her, she can only do..."
"That's different." Xia Ye said, "Actually, I also know that the plan to attack the witches is very risky, and it may not be successful. From the perspective of shareholders, such a suggestion should not be made. But I really want to make this idea a reality, so just take it as a personal request and do me a favor.”
When Xia Ye said this, the helplessness on Chris's face disappeared. She nodded and said sternly: "Don't worry, it's not that difficult. I will find a way to do it, wait for my notification."
…
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
The construction of new whaling ships has begun. Due to the sufficient supply of moles and in order to save time, "Yuan Ship Charter" started two production lines at the same time to build two almost identical whaling ships - their size, structure, and tonnage are almost the same. Exactly the same, the only difference is that one of them is planned to be equipped with a rapid-fire whaling gun under development, while the other will be equipped with a larger-caliber conventional whaling gun.
Yaha went to the "Ocean Boat Rental" every now and then to discuss various problems encountered during the construction process with Chris and others. Xia Ye resolutely implemented the spirit of "shareholders not interfering with the company's specific affairs" and began his rare vacation. He and Lillian spent every day concentrating on living a corrupt and depraved life.
During this period, she asked once about the situation of small thrusters, and the answer she got was that because it was a new thing and the number of units needed was too small, no manufacturer was willing to take orders for the time being.
Two days later, Chris proactively sent a message:
"I'm ready to rub my hands together."
It seems that it is completely impossible to find a manufacturer willing to take the order. Xia Ye replied: "Do you need my help?"
"Wish me luck." Chris returned.
"I wish you good luck." Xia Ye sent the message.
…
Time passes day by day.
Summer nights are still very leisurely. During this period, Lin informed her that the 50,000 moles that "Mo's Creatures" had paid to buy the entire beluga had arrived. After deducting the 10% auction fee, there were still 45,000 moles left for all the people on the "Moby Dick". If divided among people, Xia Ye's share ratio is 15%, which means there are 6750 moles.
But she didn't extract 1 mol.
Among them, 3,000 moles were used to purchase ordinary whale wing bones that she obtained during her last trip to sea. She bought ten pairs and stored them in the warehouse of the exchange. Then, Xia Ye sent a message to Xiu, telling her that she could go to the warehouse and let her tail eat for free.
The remaining 3,750 moles are all kept in the account of the Whale Oil Exchange, and it is planned to inject capital into the exchange in the future. Lin said that the application for introducing new shareholders has been submitted. Normally, it is not a big problem - because the Whale Oil Exchange It has been losing money every year since its establishment. If you encounter someone who is willing to invest, you will naturally not refuse them.
Before leaving, Xia Ye asked Lin to leave a message for Aisom, asking if they could meet up soon and bringing her some goods.
Lin nodded in agreement and did not ask what the "goods" were. Of course, Xia Ye would not take the initiative to explain that the "goods" were actually her head...
Other than that, Xia Ye basically spends time with Lilian. Since her "self-destruction", the relationship between the two has become closer than before.
Unconsciously, it was already the tenth day since Chris said she wanted to rub the propeller with her hands.
This morning, Xia Ye and Lilian were studying how to live a more corrupt life, when the crystal ball suddenly received a message from Chris:
"It's done, come and test!!"
Xia Ye was startled, and then felt ecstatic. She changed her clothes as quickly as possible, took Xiuji with her, left Lillian who had not yet reacted, and went out to find another woman... to test the thruster.
Riding a broom and running all the way, she flew into the etheric sea at the fastest speed - the test location was not at the "ship rental", outside the barrier of Debso Tower, because only there was etheric wind, and the propeller must Ramjet propulsion mode can only be entered in an environment with ether wind.
When she was approaching the barrier, Xia Ye put away her broom and deployed "Thunder Feather". After passing through the barrier, she immediately discovered that a ship with an air bag was hovering not far ahead.
She flew over and ended the "Thunder Feather" when she was almost close to the ship. Then she relied on the cat's wings and slowly slid down to the deck.
"You came so fast!" Chris walked over.
"Of course, I think about it every day, but I'm embarrassed to rush you. I didn't expect you to rub it out so quickly..." Xia Ye said.
"Because it's just a verification machine, it's not as difficult as you think." Chris smiled, "Many parts that are originally small in size can be bought back and used directly. The contract used in the thruster is from CIVA It was bought by the manufacturer. Curran has a good personal relationship with one of the engineers. He paid a small amount of Moir and asked her to make some adjustments to the contract parameters in private according to our requirements, which is enough for this time."
As she walked, she introduced Xia Ye.
"For the fan, we found a spare part of a normal propeller from the company's warehouse, cut all its fan blades short, and polished them. Because it is not a specially designed small-sized fan, the air intake efficiency is not very high, but it is in stamping mode anyway. The lower blade is locked, so it doesn't matter.
"The casing is easier to handle, and our company can make it ourselves. The most troublesome part is the air inlet cone and compression ignition chamber. The shape must be very precise, almost impossible, but fortunately only one is needed, so we directly polish it by hand. I just polished off a rough set and came out with a qualified one..."
"Don't take it easy..." a voice interjected. Xia Ye turned around and saw that it was Yaha, and she was here too.
Yaha pointed at Chris: "Recently, this guy only sleeps for less than two hours a day, and her subordinates work in two shifts, working non-stop every day, so they finally managed to get one."
Xia Ye let out a soft "Ah". She knew that the process was definitely not as simple as Chris said, but she didn't expect that the other party would work so hard for an idea she proposed.
Thinking about how she, as the initiator, had been living a... life recently, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.
"Um...thank you, thank you for your hard work." She said a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter." Chris shook his head slightly, "It's also for myself. Because I'm really curious about what your idea would look like if it were realized. Maybe it would be really interesting? Ah, look. , that’s our thruster.”
On the stern deck not far away, a propeller with a length of only one meter was fixed on a bracket. An acquaintance stood beside the propeller, looking at it curiously.
"Xiu, long time no see!" Xia Ye waved.
