Wang just took two steps when he suddenly remembered and turned to look at Xiaobai: "Should I ride you? Why should I go by myself?"
Oscar: "You rode away, why should I ride?"
Xiaobai: "What he means is that I turn into an animal and take you two with me. Hey, when I set off from my hometown nearly a year ago, I had no idea that I would be used as a mount."
Wang: "I see you are quite happy too."
Xiaobai: "That's not true! It's just that when we first met, I was in a hurry to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes and hurry up, so I allowed you to ride up, and then it became natural to get used to it."
Wang: "You are lying. The first time you turned into a wolf, there was a saddle on the back."
"That's because I wanted to carry you on my back! Ahhhhhh, why did I think so at that time!"
Wang: "But it does save time a lot. Okay, let's change, Wolf Wolf."
Xiaobai sighed and turned into a big wolf. Wang first put Oscar on the wolf saddle, then turned over himself, and then unfolded Rosalie's work manual: "The next step is to inspect the ship-breaking site... We have already inspected this..."
Oscar: "You have to get closer and take a look! You have to ask if you have any problems and then solve them!"
Wang scratched his head and said reluctantly: "Okay, Xiaobai, you heard it, let's go over and have a look."
In a few short steps, Xiaobai arrived at the ship breaking site.
Wang asked the man who looked like a secretary standing at the edge of the construction site: "How is the progress of ship dismantling?"
The clerk looked back and said in surprise: "It's not your Highness Rosalie who is here to ask?"
It seems that everyone is used to Rosalie managing them.
Wang: "I let her rest. I will take over the shift today."
The clerk nodded and didn't dwell too much on it: "Yesterday, when I reported to you...no, when I reported to Her Royal Highness Rosalie, the progress was delayed by 15%. Today, because the work has just started, I don't know how much the delay will be in the end. But...not optimistic."
Wang: "What is the reason for the delay in progress?"
"First of all, there is a shortage of labor. I originally worked in the shipyard of Qianshui City, and I often did the work of dismantling old ships. At that time, a shipyard had about two hundred people to work. Look at how many people I have now."
Wang looked at the ship being dismantled and counted silently: "One hundred?"
"Almost, one hundred and eight. Yesterday, I also reported this to Her Royal Highness Rosalie, but she said that there are only a few hundred of us young and middle-aged people now, and it is impossible for all of us to come and work."
Just as he was talking, dozens of women came over in a mighty manner.
The leading woman, a tall and thick-mannered woman, shouted to the clerk from all the way: "Hey! Hashir asked us to come over and work, and said we would follow your orders."
The clerk frowned.
Wang: "The labor force you want has arrived."
Clerk: "Them? They haven't dismantled the ship. They can only carry things when they get to me."
The eldest sister who just shouted took over: "Then let us move the things, and all you men will go up and dismantle the ship, and let us gather the dismantled parts!"
The clerk closed the notebook in his hand, unfolded what looked like a schedule and looked at it: "Okay, I'll let you guys take over Jeff's team."
Wang: "Has the problem of labor shortage been solved?"
Clerk: "Who knows. And it's not just the lack of labor that's causing the delay. We also lack tools."
Wang: "Didn't I remember that I sent you tools?"
"Yes, but those tools are not used in shipyards. For example, the saw is only a hand saw. One person cannot cut the mast, and it is very laborious for two people to operate."
Oscar: "Can you consider going to Minos City to buy some? If you use an airship, you can get back and forth in a few days, right?"
The king frowned: "The only one who can fly an airship is Flint. After he left, there is no priest on the island. Near us, there is Shallow Water City, which has become a lair of the undead and a city of death. Even if the lich does not attack us, there will be no priests around the city of death." More undead will naturally be produced. These undead will spontaneously attack the living."
Oscar exclaimed: "So terrible? Will these rainforests be affected?"
Wang: "Of course it will. As time goes by, the dense forest around the Dead City will turn into a dark swamp like the Shadow Island. Now the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers will disappear, and the air will be full of the smell of corruption."
Xiaobai suddenly changed back to human form, and Oscar sat down on the ground.
Xiaobai: "You can also say that it has become the black dragon's lair, it should be more or less the same."
Oscar: "Don't change back suddenly! My butt hurts!"
Xiaobai: "What's the matter? Your sister has been thrown by me like this. I want you to experience it too."
Wang: "Your sister was really thrown like this."
Oscar: "Can that be the same? My sister is all fat and I am all bones! Ah... I feel like my pelvis is cracked!"
Xiaobai sighed and raised his hand to perform a rejuvenation spell on Oscar.
Oscar: "Thank you, no!"
Wang laughed loudly: "You are indeed a good boy."
At this time, the clerk who was watching all this said: "If there is nothing else, I will continue to be busy. I will register and classify the usable materials among the dismantled materials."
Wang: "Oh, please. By the way, can you please make a list of tools so that we can think of something?"
Clerk: "I have already issued a copy to Your Highness Rosalie."
Oscar stood up while rubbing his butt and said: "Look, how capable my sister is! If you marry my sister, she will definitely be able to arrange everything in your family! Moreover, my sister is also good at intelligence and can Make her your spymaster!"
Wang: "Are you so eager to sell your sister?"
Oscar: "It makes sense, you've already slept with my sister, she should have been the queen."
Wang: "First of all, I am not an emperor, so I don't have a queen."
"You are the emperor of the floating city, no problem." Xiaobai interjected.
Wang: "Secondly, I have no interest in staying in this plane for the rest of my life, do you understand? I am destined to become a planeswalker in the future. Finally, I want to find true love."
Xiaobai: "Stop talking about your true love."
"Why can't you mention it? I insist on mentioning it!" Wang Zhiyi's energy also increased.
Oscar sighed: "Okay, I understand, let's continue to finish my sister's work."
Wang nodded and opened Rosalie's work notepad again.
"Next is to inspect the construction work of the reservoir. We are going back to the island. Xiaobai, change into a griffin."
"okay."
**
After the inspection, Wang learned that Rosalie had planned two water storage facilities on the island. One had already been built and was temporary. The barrels found from the stranded ship were gathered together and a simple water collection facility was made with canvas. The device is mounted on top.
In this way, the fog, dew, etc. in the morning can be collected, and water can be stored even when it rains.
A pond is being excavated next to the temporary water storage device. The baskets and other things collected from the stranded ship are dismantled and laid on the edge of the pond to prevent water leakage.
The pond has just been dug halfway, and the baskets to be laid have not been removed. They are all piled next to the half-dug pit.
Oscar: "How about it? My sister is very capable, right?"
Wang also had to admit that Rosalie was indeed very capable.
Next, they inspected the tent area, the specially built "cookhouse", the firewood drying area used to provide dry firewood for the kitchen, as well as the necessary toilets, composting areas and a series of facilities.
After the inspection was finally completed, Wang scratched his head: "I didn't know there were so many things on my floating island."
Oscar: "My sister saved all the necessities for two thousand people from scratch. She just forgot to build a nursery."
Wang: "...After today's inspection, I finally feel like a city lord. This city is indeed in a state of ruin."
The "private houses" are all tents made of canvas, and the toilets are piled up with several broken barrels.
Oscar: "Everything is difficult at the beginning."
Wang: "The morning has almost passed by doing a round of inspection. Let's see what the next job is. 'Discuss the plan for the first batch of wooden houses with the craftsmen of the Pelican Gang'. Where are the craftsmen of the Pelican Gang?" "
**
The craftsmen responsible for designing the house were gathered together.
"The simplest way to build it is to use the bottom of the original wooden boat as a roof, and the keel as a bracket, and buckle it on the ground." The oldest craftsman spoke on behalf of everyone, "This is the conclusion we came to after discussing it all night yesterday. .So when dismantling the ship, be careful to keep the keel intact."
Wang: "It's really clever to use the boat on the ground as a house."
Old craftsman: "It just doesn't look good. It will make the city lord lose face."
Wang: "It's okay, I don't care about face either."
Old craftsman: "There are a lot of aquatic creatures attached to the bottom of the boat, so the house looks... weird."
Another craftsman said: "And such a house is definitely not good in terms of livability. We should find a mason as soon as possible and buy blue bricks to build a normal house."
Wang was speechless: "I wish I were an eighth-circle mage. I could use Mordenkainen's Mansion to equip everyone with a house. A house only requires a blank wall, which can be used to make use of the ruins on the island."
Several craftsmen looked at each other, obviously they had never heard of the mansion technique.
The old craftsman came out to talk to Xi Ni: "If it can be like that, it would be great."
Wang shook his head: "I'll figure this out. Just follow this. Make a demand statement and send it to the clerk who manages the shipbreaking, and ask him to pay attention when dismantling."
