Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update
Chapter 24 The Six Roots of the Industrial Revolution
After being asked to leave by a man in a van, He Feng saw the loading engineers working busily on the Blue Ship on the platform.
Lin Sen, who was just shouting, disappeared into the crowd of people being transported, replaced by a group of friendly staff members in work uniforms.
Just to be on the safe side, He Feng also gave them a thorough once-over.
He was extremely weak and showed no signs of training.
He doesn't seem like someone who would carry out an assassination.
Moreover, he wasn't carrying any heavy weapons that could break through his defenses.
Upon consideration, at least in his bare hands, he could easily defeat me.
Lin Sen's scream just now had made his heart jump into his throat, and he was even prepared to take Lin Qingqing, who was next to him, hostage.
He Feng remained vigilant throughout the journey, fearing he might fall into another trap.
Only after he had truly left White Crow City by a great distance did he finally relax the tension in his heart.
"What's going on here?" He Feng couldn't help but wonder. Even after being escorted to his family home, he still felt confused.
When I finally set foot on the Blue Ocean, I saw dozens of workers assembling large machinery on board.
Only then did he believe that the other party genuinely wanted to do business.
The dark cloud in my heart suddenly dissipated, revealing the blazing sunlight that had been buried.
The cold wind swept across his burly body, carrying with it snowflakes drifting in the air, like ice blades cutting into his skin.
But he showed no sign of coldness; instead, he was genuinely excited.
"Aren't you cold?" Lin Qingqing, who was beside her, asked, her tone lighter.
As she spoke, she took the cotton coat she was wearing and put it on He Feng, as a return gift for He Feng's earlier comforting her.
"Cold? That's not a word in a man's dictionary." He Feng laughed foolishly, like a carefree child.
"Thank you for standing up for me. I didn't expect that you would still have the energy to handle things even after they had developed to this point." Lin Qingqing said abruptly, her calm words revealing a hint of sincerity.
"Can I say I didn't think much about anything, and only attacked him because he was asking for it?" He Feng said eccentrically, buttoning up his shirt.
"Is it that simple?" Lin Qingqing asked in surprise.
"It's that simple!" He Feng laughed freely, without the slightest hint of coyness.
"Brother Lin, you're really awesome!" As he passed the Black Rock, a distinctive swear word burst out, allowing him to immediately recognize the person by the voice.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Hei!" He Feng turned around and said sweetly.
"To be honest, Brother He, you're alright, but you offended their mascot city lord. Luckily, you didn't provoke their council." Hei Yan's expression changed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
"There's such a thing as a parliament?" He Feng was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.
Lin Qingqing, who was standing nearby, suddenly interjected and explained the reason.
"A coup recently occurred in White Raven City, transferring most of the power from the lord to the council. The establishment of the position of city lord was done to accommodate the lingering feelings of most White Raven City residents towards the former lord."
"Hey, Brother He, your little secretary knows quite a lot. If I had more people like her on my ship, I wouldn't be working myself to the bone every day," Black Stone said with a hint of envy.
"Like I said before, Brother He, from now on, if you ever need anything, just contact my Black Rock. No matter what, my Black Rock will be the first to die for you!"
"Brother Hei, you flatter me," He Feng said, bowing in thanks.
"Then let's say goodbye, Brother He. I wish you both a healthy baby soon, hehe!"
Hei Yan, with a lewd grin on his face, turned away from He Feng and the others with his hands behind his back.
"This black stone is quite interesting." He Feng looked at the dashing man in front of him and watched him leave, while Lin Qingqing's face turned bright red.
As you cross the bridge connecting the fortresses, an old man comes to greet you.
"My lord! My lord!"
The old mechanic Liu Neng, who was left on the ship, rushed over, shouting as he ran. He shakily ran down the gangway and, when he reached him, he was panting heavily, his eyes reflecting excitement and immense relief.
He said with relief, "My lord, I just heard that you were attacked by those bandits from White Raven City. I was so worried about you. Thank goodness you're alright."
"If anything happens to you, I, Liu Neng, this old man, will not live anymore. I'll bring the rest of my brothers and fight these bastards to the death!"
He Feng chuckled and gently patted the old man with his large hand.
"I'm fine, aren't I? I even got something good for our Azure!"
He pointed to the distillation tower assembled with various mechanical structures, his face glistening with oil.
"With this, our Azure will have a good life from now on."
"That tower? Isn't that a big chimney?"
Even Liu Neng, who was quite knowledgeable, couldn't help but make a mistake when faced with such a powerful weapon.
He Feng laughed loudly, "It's different. It's a unique chimney. It carries the hopes of our Azure and marks a brighter future for our Azure."
"With this thing, from now on our Azure can reach the same level as White Raven City."
He Feng couldn't help but start daydreaming.
The distillation tower, acquired through a near-death experience, is not simply for extracting crude oil.
He knew that the most important step in developing and utilizing oil was the initial extraction process.
Fractionation can separate heavy feedstocks from light feedstocks.
Lightweight raw materials can be used to extract gasoline and chemical raw materials, which can meet the needs of clothing, plastic products, and organic chemical manufacturing.
Heavy feedstock can also be separated into high-calorific-value heavy fuel oil, enabling the Blue Ocean to carry a greater load.
Even the last remaining bitumen could be used to create flight paths on the ship's track.
Looking further ahead, they have already set their sights on the future of internal combustion engine technology and the electrical revolution!
This move was a small step that He Feng took unintentionally, but it was a significant step for the Azure Ship.
Liu Neng nodded thoughtfully, admiring the lord's foresight regarding the Azure.
"By the way, my lord, the person in charge on the other side wants you to inspect the project. I just had some men check it out for you, and the people are fine," Liu Neng said gently, bowing his old back.
"I understand. Go and preheat the boiler. Our Azure can't stay here any longer," He Feng instructed Liu Neng and the others.
"Yes, my lord, we'll take our leave now." The workers waved goodbye and hurriedly rushed into the boiler room.
"They're all very motivated," He Feng said cheerfully, striding forward to inspect the goods.
Located at the rear center of the Azure, a group of engineers are operating various engineering equipment to seamlessly attach the sheet metal.
In a few flashes, the brand-new rivets were melted down and shaped into semicircles, firmly securing the separate components.
"Well done, maybe I'll give this deal a bigger tip." He Feng clapped his hands and strode toward the foreman in charge of monitoring.
