Chapter 148 Nanhua's Recruitment of Talents
At the same time that masses of de Vere silver were transformed into gold pounds, gold francs, and gold marks, they were transformed into masses of machinery and ships.

Liverpool's "Great Orient" is also one of them. In the past half a month, thousands of tons of goods have been loaded into its cabin, steam engines, machine tools and equipment from countries such as Britain, France and Prussia Various other mechanical equipment.

Just half a month ago, the "Great Orient", known as the "British Miracle", had changed owners.Soon it will start sailing to the New World, but unlike usual, its tickets have stopped selling.On the wharf of the great shipping company, although the window of the ticket office is closed, there is still a queue in front of the checkpoint. They are all carrying luggage without exception, and many of them are dragging their children. They are not visiting Instead, Buffett hired engineers from various European countries.

Among the crowd, Will Routh would always cast his eyes on the giant ship, even though he was Irish, whenever he saw this giant ship, he would always be amazed by it, and would always imagine such a huge ship What a spectacular scene it is to see the scene moving in the huge waves!
As a naval engineer, he clearly knew that this ship was a masterpiece in the history of shipbuilding.

"Philip, you see it is the "Great Eastern", and it is the largest ship ever built by man!"

"Is it bigger than Noah's Ark?"

Standing beside his father, Philip Lauth asked, but at the age of twelve, he should have entered the shipyard as a shipbuilding apprentice first, and after completing his term, he should have studied at the engineering college for several years. , and finally, like his father, entered the shipyard to work.

But now, he left here like his father.

"Father, did you also participate in the construction of the "Great Eastern"?"

"Yes, with Mr. William Froude, who was invited by Mr. Brooker to deal with the Great Eastern's swaying problem, but, you know..."

Suddenly, there was a pause for Will Lawth, and he stopped talking.

"An Irishman is never treated fairly in England, is he?"

Someone next to him suddenly interjected.

"That's the way they treat the Irish, no matter what talent you have, you're nothing to the English, my friend, I'm Irish too and I'm an engineer, but I'm Railway engineers, but you know, here we can only do odd jobs for them, only in the New World, in the New World, will we have a chance!"

Claude Kahn wrote to Will Routh.

"My name is Will Lawth, and I'm a railroad engineer, and I suppose we're all the same, new hires from the American Company, aren't we?"

"Ah, my name is Will Lawth, and I am a naval architect! Yes, I am also an employee of the company."

Among the crowded crowd, there are engineers, skilled workers, translators, Irish, French, and Prussians, and of course, their families. People from all over the world will take this giant ship to the New World .

As for whether they will come back?

No one knows, but what is certain is that the "Great Eastern" has never returned to Liverpool since then. As for this exclusive pier, it was just an ordinary pier in the following years. Welcome back to this giant ship.

A few days later, the giant ship known as the "Floating City on the Sea" finally sailed out of Liverpool. There were still many people standing at the pier. They looked at it with a little sadness, as if they wanted to remember it...

When the English were reluctant to part with the "Great Eastern", Zhu Xianhai, who was far away across the ocean, once again stood in front of the model of the "Great Eastern".

"What a giant ship!"

While sighing, Zhu Xianhai began to calculate in his heart.

Designed by Isambard Kindham Brunel, it is undeniably the largest ship in the world, but the Great Eastern is also a notorious commercial drag whose sheer size should have brought scale However, due to poor management and successive bad luck, it has never made a penny for shareholders, and even caused the shipowners to lose even their underwear.Of course, this is why Zhu Xianhai was able to buy it with a mere 23 pounds, which is almost the price of scrap iron. After all, a ton of wrought iron costs 5 pounds, and its iron hull uses 300 million rivets and 3 iron plates.

Perhaps, for the British, the "Great Eastern" was a loser, but for Nanhua, the "Great Eastern" with a displacement of 27700 tons was an excellent choice for transporting immigrants.

"My lord, this is the Great Eastern, right?"

Sun Muli looked curiously at the huge model on the table.

"I heard that this ship is a hundred feet long! Isn't it about the size of a small town?"

Unlike many people, Sun Muli is an official!
As a native of Shandong, he waited in the capital for two years, and finally made up for Jiangxi's vacancies. He tried his best to go to Shanghai, and wanted to go to Jiangxi from Zhejiang. Before he took office, he was tied up by Changmao. He, who thought he was destined to die, was sold to Nanhua, and unexpectedly became the magistrate of Nanhua in a daze.

Fate is sometimes so magical.

"Yes, Verin, isn't it amazing that such a giant steel ship can actually float on the sea, and it can carry 4000 passengers. If it is converted into a residential area, it can accommodate at least [-] to [-] people, but the space must be a bit cramped, you have been on an immigration ship, what do you think of the environment there?"

How is the environment?
In an instant, Sun Muli thought of the two months on the boat, when people were crowded on a bed that was less than two feet high and six feet long, it took more than two months to stay!Let alone activities, even pooping must be ruled out.

That day...was like a nightmare.

After thinking about it, Sun Muli said.

"Hey, it's all about surviving, so how dare you ask for anything extravagantly? If it weren't for the lord's kindness, he would spend his family's wealth to buy us from Changmao. I'm afraid our lives would have been in jeopardy. For the lord's grace, I would be smashed to pieces." It's hard to tell just in case!"

You see, this is talking!
Sure enough, you are not worthy of being an official domesticated in the officialdom of my "Tar Qing", how grateful you are!

Without business, there would be no harm... No, without business, they would have died long ago. Speaking of which, Zhu Xianhai was really their savior, and his self-conscious image suddenly became much taller, and it was a pity that he was tall.

"It's a pity that this journey is too long. I don't know how many people died at sea!"
