The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 396 Shen Le: I’m going to Jiangnan Shipyard for further studies overnight. Is it too late?
The Special Affairs Bureau is extremely efficient.

In just three days, they came up with three alternative plans for Shen Le:
Plan one is to rent a small factory with poor performance and on the verge of bankruptcy less than one kilometer away from the old house, and convert the factory into a dry dock and repair workshop.

The advantage is that it is cheap, one million per year, and he can do whatever he wants. And it is fast, and it can be done in ten days at most.

The downside is that old factories are broken and dirty, and a lot of glass has disappeared. It is basically impossible to have air conditioning in the entire factory...

Moreover, rented items must be returned after use. Shen Le had obtained various instruments and equipment to repair this ancient ship or this magic weapon, and it was likely that he would have to toss them again and put them in another place.

Option 2 is to build a factory near the old house, or more precisely, on the wasteland behind Tianxiang Tower.

The advantage is that it is cheap. Although it is rented instead of purchased, it can be counted as industrial land and the land price can be lowered to the floor price, so the cost of building a factory is not much.

Moreover, it is close. Shen Le can go to work or get off work every day and pass by Tianxianglou and have dinner there.

As for the disadvantages, it will take a relatively longer time to build a factory on wasteland?
At least we have to lay the foundation...

Of course, if Shen Le doesn't like these two plans, the Special Affairs Bureau has also prepared PLAN C. Simply put, there are many rivers and lakes near Zhuxi Town.

The nearest shipyard is just five kilometers away. Although it is not large, it is not difficult to free up a 30-meter dry dock...

Shen Le flipped through the thick stack of documents. Each plan was very solid, with plans, budgets, dock design drawings, factory building design drawings and required equipment, and overall renderings.

This includes the number of security guards that need to be hired for Plan 1, and the additional decorations that need to be added in order to isolate ordinary people from psychic items;

The impact that Option 2 may have on Tianxiang Tower, and the compensation from the Special Affairs Bureau;
As for the commuting method of Shen Le in Plan 3, Plan 3 would also require a separate security guard. The Special Affairs Bureau could assign a security guard to take Shen Le to and from get off work...

In three days, to get so much information, either the people in the Special Affairs Bureau would lose a lot of hair, or they would have to bid for it, and then the people in the design department would lose a lot of hair...

Shen Le guessed that if he was not satisfied with any of these plans, the Special Affairs Bureau could come up with three more plans, or even six or nine plans.

Of course, the first three options should be the best. Shen Le flipped through the pages from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning, feeling quite moved:
"Um...give me some time to think about it? Just a few days. Once I've thought it over, I'll give you an answer."

He went straight to the boss lady with the documents in his arms. The boss lady took one look and laughed:
"You want to build the factory at the back door of Tianxiang Building? No problem. They will give compensation anyway. The open space there is quite large, which is convenient for me to go over and take a look when I have nothing to do."

"Wouldn't that bother you too much?"

"Of course not." The proprietress smiled happily:
"This wooden boat has a lot of mysteries. I'm really worried that you can't handle it. I built it at the back door so that I can watch it from time to time, and I can feel more at ease. Otherwise, what if it runs away?"

“Run, run away?!”

"What else do you think? Magical weapon, do you think it's so easy to subdue it?"

All right, if the boss lady allows it, that would be the best. Shen Le informed the Special Affairs Bureau, and that afternoon, the machine rumbled into the field.

Leveling the land, compacting the foundation, building houses, erecting scaffolding, and bringing in various equipment.

Seven days later, the entire wasteland was completely renewed. A light, clean, silver-glowing industrial tent with a span of 50 meters, a width of 30 meters, and a maximum height of 30 meters at the top was quietly unfolded.

Shen Le stood outside the tent dragging his suitcase, slowly raised his head, and opened his mouth into an "O" shape:
"Is this even possible?! Will it blow over?"

There will be a typhoon in Binhai City!

This year, just this year, two consecutive typhoons passed through them, and the eye of the storm almost rolled over their heads!
The reinforced concrete houses all seem to be shaky, and the glass is banging when blown. Can this mobile house with an aluminum alloy frame and a tarpaulin cover really work?!

"Don't worry." The proprietress accompanied him inside, smiled when she heard his words, and waved her hand.

A green light flew out, and Shen Le didn't even see clearly what she threw out, but she saw vines climbing up the aluminum alloy frame from all directions and tightly entwining the frame.

At the same time, the entire tent became dark, and the wind blowing from outside the tent brought with it a little bit of gentle and fresh breath.

Shen Le took a few steps back and almost walked outside the tent, only to see a large patch of vines climbing up the silver facade of the tent.

Thin vines twisted around and green leaves spread out, tightly covering the entire tent, burying it in the green.

Well, with the help of the boss lady, at least the house is strong enough and there is no need to worry about it being blown down, right?

Shen Le finally felt relieved and strode to the middle of the tent. Because they were only repairing a wooden boat, the ground was only compacted, and there was not even a cement platform; in the middle of the ground, there were dozens of half-person-high slipways, the middle row was the longest, and the left and right rows were slightly shorter, just enough for the keel and left and right sides of the boat to land steadily on them.

Shen Le walked back and forth beside the slipway, looking left and right, and finally chose the slipway in the middle row.

He opened the suitcase, revealing a wooden box containing a colorful boat. He turned to look at the proprietress:
“Is it okay to take it out like this?”

"It should be...okay now."

The boss lady's tone was also uncertain. As she answered, she carefully backed away and retreated to the door in one breath. Shen Le looked at her like this and also felt guilty:

"Forget it! If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll also get a knife. If you don't take it out, there's no way to fix it. Lady boss, remember to save me!"

Alas, why is there no Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt in the talisman given by the copper piece!
He opened the wooden box with trepidation. Fortunately, the colorful boat had not changed and was still the original 30 cm size.

I stretched out my hands and held up the colored boat. One centimeter, two centimeters, very good, the size did not change, it went beyond the edge of the wooden box, and there was no change.

Pick up some more, put it on the slipway, and let go...

The colorful light suddenly expanded. Shen Le took a step back, and then another step back, watching the 30-centimeter-long and 7-centimeter-high ship suddenly unfold at an astonishing speed:

In just a blink of an eye, the bow and stern of the ship extended from the middle slipway to the front and rear slipways;

In another blink of an eye, the distance between two slipways was extended;
In a breath or two, it stretched forward and backward, until it filled the entire middle row.
The left and right sides of the hull also extend from the central slipway to the two rows of slipways next to it, and are firmly placed on top.

Shen Le secretly congratulated himself for running fast. If he had run slower, he would have been knocked down by the rapidly expanding hull.

It was impossible to flatten it, after all, the bottom of the boat was on the slipway, more than half a person's height from the ground;

However, it was like being hit head-on, falling to the ground, and then watching a huge shadow passing over your head and covering you, forcing you to squat or even crawl out...

This is very possible!
However, it seems that he will need to squat or crawl inside to pick up the wooden box containing the colorful boat and the suitcase containing the wooden box again...

"So, what I want to repair is this big guy..."

Shen Le raised his head and murmured. Standing next to the completely liberated colorful boat, instead of holding it in his hands to admire it, he could feel its beauty more:

It should be a flat-bottomed boat, that is, a boat that moves on the river. The left and right sides of the hull are painted with three stripes of gold, red and blue, dividing it into two parts;

The lower half, probably the part immersed in water, is painted with light yellow base paint, and on it are painted two dragons playing with a pearl, surrounded by layers of clouds.

The two dragons were baring their fangs and claws, their eyes glaring, surrounded by auspicious clouds of five colors, and the fireballs in the middle were dancing with colorful clouds. It felt like the two dragons could fly out of the ship at any time;

The upper half, above the waterline, is painted even more delicately. The entire hull is divided into sections by red lacquer columns, and each section of the ship's plank is painted with a story:
There are shrimp soldiers patrolling, crab generals waving their claws, clam girls dancing, turtles paying homage, and many carp jumping out of the water, their golden scales shining and dancing gracefully.

The Dragon King sat majestically on the throne, with his sons and daughters sitting on both sides. Under the coral trees that blossomed like flowers, gold, silver and jewels shone brightly...

It was exactly the scene of the Dragon Palace that people imagined. As for why the two dragons playing with the pearl were below and the beautiful scenery of the Dragon Palace was above, Shen Le didn't know. Maybe he should ask the original craftsman?
He carefully admired the side of the colorful boat for a while, then turned to the front. At the front bow, there was also a pair of dragons, but they looked unusually majestic:
On the solid vermilion background, the golden-scaled dragons held their heads high, with clouds and mist swirling around them, like steps leading to heaven.

Looking up again, there was a brilliant painting above the bow, with the three gods of fortune, wealth and longevity standing side by side, Magu offering longevity, a boy holding peaches and cranes flying. It was clearly a scene from the sky.

He couldn't see clearly above, so he had to set up a ladder or climb up the scaffolding to get a full view of the ship;
However, on the side of the ship, a row of vermilion sticks were stretched out high outside the ship. The tops of the sticks were black and shining, half majestic and half murderous.

If Shen Le guessed correctly, this was probably a ceremonial weapon used by officials in ancient times. The water and fire sticks were used to hit people, and there might be signs such as "keep away" and "silence" inside...

"So...I want to build such a big boat?"

Shen Le circled the boat once, and then again. There was obvious damage on the bottom of the boat, with large holes half a person's height on both the port and starboard sides.

The wood at the entrance of the cave was obviously damaged and rotten, a large piece of the stern rudder was missing, and the painted on the hull was mottled if you looked closely;
The mast was broken, and there was a huge gash at the stern, from the top to the bottom...

"I'm afraid this thing can't be repaired without machinery... So, is it too late for me to go to Jiangnan Shipyard for further training now?"
