Chapter 442 Restoration

Charles is not very good at dealing with people like Gordon, but fortunately, he can't but someone can.

Leonardo took two people instead of Charles to join the verbal battle with Gordon, and they quarreled very fiercely.

At the most extreme time, both parties even kept greeting each other's mother, but when they were waiting to sign the contract, the two sides smiled and hugged each other warmly.

Looking at the smirks on their faces, Charles suddenly felt that his chief executive was in the wrong place. If he had gone to follow these businessmen, he might have achieved greater success.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce and Hope Island, the two sides have settled on a preliminary cooperation within the research institute.

Gordon promised that the Chamber of Commerce would send people to send the core factory personnel and a large number of laborers as soon as possible, but he also needed them to be responsible for the exclusive sales of all trades on Hope Island.

These include various products from major factories in the future, as well as the rich agriculture of Hope Island today.

Charles's Hope Island has developed faster, but the other party is definitely not losing money. Such a group of businessmen will definitely make a lot of money relying on their monopoly power.

This is just a preliminary cooperation, and the following details will be discussed slowly, but these are not things that Charles should consider. Leonardo and his subordinates will deal with these matters.

Gordon left with satisfaction, and he began to plan to report this exciting news to the chairman by telegram.

Charles's face slowly turned cold, and as he tapped the wall with his hands, several mice crawled out from the corner.

"Lead your people to guard against the entire Institute of Relics. You must not let Gordon and the others know the method for the birth of capable people. If they know the thorough method, this group of black-hearted businessmen will definitely leave them alone."

"Squeak...squeak~!" The brown mice shouted hurriedly around Charles.

Gordon left, but Charles' matter did not end, he remembered the gift left by the other party.

"All the products of the research institute should be used to optimize the analysis machine for the first time. Its potential must not stop at computing and database storage."

"Send the smartest people on our island to study the blueprint of the analysis machine and master this technology thoroughly. If there is no one on the island, then look for it elsewhere. We hope the island must master this thing!"

Leonardo had a surprised expression, "Master Governor, is that huge machine really that important?"

Charles immediately told him everything about the surface computer.

Leonardo's expression immediately became agitated. If it is really as the Governor said, this will greatly expand the overall strength of Hope Island.

Soon, all the decision-making members of the entire Hope Island came to the Governor's Mansion for a meeting to discuss the deal about Gordon.

All departments were informed of the future development trend of Hope Island. After a period of negotiation, everyone began to work together.

Charles doesn't know what changes will happen to his island in the future, but it must be earth-shaking.

Soon, the chimneys began to pierce the greenhouse and began to emit black smoke.

There are indeed not many well-trained workers on Hope Island, but it is not impossible to start work.

Other factories can be temporarily put aside, the military factory is always the most important, and the latest products in it will always be the first to serve the Governor.

"You mean, the whole cannon is made of No. 3 steel?"

In the huge dock, Charles asked as he looked at the pitch-black cannon suspended by a huge chain in front of him.

"Yes, Governor, this kind of deck gun will definitely not have the phenomenon of softening and blasting like other deck guns. As long as you need it, it can hold up even if it fires 30 rounds a minute."

The older ship designer with glasses reported to Charles that he was no longer a designer, but the director of the shipyard.

The tragedy of the British Isles did not seem to have left a trace on his face, but whether there were traces or not, only he knew in his heart.

"Put it on and try it." Following Charles' order, the zipline above the dock moved, and the overtime cannon in midair was released towards the deck of the restored Narwhal.

On the deck paper, the boatmen, wearing white gloves and overalls, are waiting in full force with various tools.

"What is the production capacity of No. 3 steel now? Can you replace all the outer plates of the entire ship?" Charles asked James on the other side.

The big man had a troubled expression on his face. "Sorry, Captain, there aren't that many. This new material is very useful. As soon as it is produced, it will be taken away by the Navy, unless we remelt the previously built guns."

Looking at the pitted shell on the outside of the Narwhal, Charles said, "Then melt it all, and give our old buddy a new dress."

Hope Island's navy is not fighting any battles now, so instead of keeping these things for them to be capable, it is better to strengthen the defense capabilities of the Narwhal.

At least in this way, I can still use it when I go to sea next time.

James nodded. "Okay, I'll order it down."

"Try to hurry up, it's the last moment, I don't want this matter to drag on for too long." Charles said, looking at the Narwhal.

"Captain, has the next departure target been determined?" James asked in a low voice.

Charles nodded. "Well, before going there, the Narwhal must be repaired, and the missing crew members must be filled."

At this time, the factory manager next to him took a step forward and said, "Master Governor, why don't you change to another ship? To be honest, your ship is better to take a new ship than this kind of repairing."

"It will take time to adapt to the new ship, forget it, and." Charles looked at the swaying rope of the Narwhal towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "And I'm used to it, so let it accompany me through the last journey."

The other captains don't know, but at least for Charles, his ship has feelings, and the Narwhal is his first exploration ship.

Just as Charles kept looking at the Narwhal, suddenly a black shadow flashed past. Charles turned his head and glanced at the place, but found nothing.

He turned around and continued to watch the deck guns being installed.

At this moment, a figure came out from behind the huge anchor and rushed towards Charles quickly.

Just when Charles' finger was already on the revolver trigger, the other party suddenly stopped three meters away from him.

"Hope Island Navy, No. 34 Lighthouse Ship, Border Guard Norden Wright! Report to the Governor!"

Charles looked at the young man in front of him. His body was straight and his eyes were sharp. Standing there seemed to be a sword drawn from its sheath.
