Rise of Australia

Chapter 31 Shipyard Site Selection
It wasn't until Arthur saw the manor with his own eyes that he realized that the small manor that Butler Hunter mentioned was actually not small, and even quite large.

Although it is not comparable to the large manors and palaces of the British royal family, it still covers an area of ​​3 hectares, or [-] square meters.

If this is based on the housing area of ​​later generations, a [-]-square-meter community can accommodate at least a thousand people, but for Arthur, it is only a manor for the four members of the royal family to live in.

The main body of the estate is composed of living areas, gardens, streams, lawns, orchards, fountains and an artificial lake.

The construction area of ​​the entire manor is not very large, only less than [-] square meters, of which the gazebo and stables occupy more than [-] square meters.

The actual living area is less than [-] square meters. It is a small palace modeled after a British palace. The overall shape is in the shape of the letter H, and the highest point of the whole house is in the middle, where the royal flag hangs.

Although the area is not large, this small three-story palace still has more than fifty rooms, of which there are more than 40 rooms for servants and subordinates to live in. distribute.

Among them, meeting rooms, restaurants, reception rooms, broadcasting rooms, offices and rooms of royal family members occupy 20 places, and the remaining more than [-] rooms can be used as guest rooms in addition to storing items.

The largest room in the manor is the public conference room, with a total size of more than 300 square meters.A giant oval conference table can accommodate more than 50 people.

On the periphery of the oval conference table, this is a large round table made up of circles of small tables.

The four circles of tables can accommodate more than [-] officials to hold meetings here, which completely solves the needs of the House of Commons when Arthur lives in the manor, and can even accommodate the expanded Lower Parliament in the future.

In the center of the elliptical conference table in the innermost circle, there is an elliptical step with a protrusion of [-] centimeters.

A podium will be placed on the steps, facing the top position of the conference table.

This podium is used by the representatives to speak during the meeting, and the position facing the head can also reflect the respect for Arthur.

After finally visiting the entire manor, the time has come to noon.

Even though Arthur and the others had a luxurious breakfast when they set off, after a morning of sightseeing, they all began to feel hungry.

"Your Highness, I have had lunch prepared, and the restaurant in the manor has already been cleaned up. Is it time to eat?" Butler Hunter was very understanding. When Arthur just felt hungry, Henry The special butler asked in good time.

Arthur nodded, looked at Margaery and Patricia who were also looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "Then let's go eat first. After walking for a whole morning, I must be very hungry."

Different from the top floor of the government affairs building that was temporarily rebuilt, there are five restaurants in the manor, large and small, which are divided into private dining rooms, where members of the royal family eat privately.There is also a public dining room, banquet hall and party hall.

Among them, the banquet hall is the restaurant with the most solemn and elegant decoration, and the banquet hall is the largest restaurant.

The destination of Arthur and others this time is the private dining room, which is located on the west side of the third floor of the manor.

The decoration of the private dining room was completely based on the preferences of the royal family members. Because Butler Hunter knew that Arthur didn't like high-profile things, the decoration of the private dining room was relatively elegant, except for a few oil paintings.

The lunch at noon is authentic British food, although the UK is not rich in food.

The main dish is a sausage and mashed potatoes, with some gravy poured on it, which looks a bit appetizing.The main course is fish and chips, which is to remove the bones and heads of the fish, cut them into strips, and wrap them in wet dough for frying.

There is also a Wellington steak made of beef from Italian cattle. The skin is grilled golden and crispy, and the bloody beef inside can be seen when cut.

These dishes are the better-tasting delicacies in British cuisine, and they are also British delicacies that Arthur is more acceptable to.

After eating this fairly hearty meal, Princess Louise took Margaery and Patricia back to the government building.

Before the manor is fully renovated, they still have to temporarily live in the government building for a period of time.

Arthur, on the other hand, stayed for a short time, and rushed to the next place with Butler Hunter.

South of Sydney Harbour, in a wasteland.

It is not far from Sydney Harbor, but because the surrounding land has not been developed, it is still a deserted land for the time being.

It has to be said that the extent of Australia's vast land and sparse population is terrible. This land is located on the plains in southeastern Australia and is a piece of fertile land.

But because Australia's population is too sparse, such a large and fertile land has not been developed.

Arthur walked around briefly, observed the terrain, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Butler Hunter, "Butler Hunter, when will our shipyard be completed?"

This is actually the address that Butler Hunter chose for the new shipyard, and it is an area relatively close to the port.

The advantage here is that it is relatively close to the port, and the transportation of materials is more convenient.In terms of comprehensive terrain survey, it is a good place to build a shipyard.

"Your Highness, our equipment and employees have basically been shipped to Australia. All we need now is the time to build the plant and install the equipment. I estimate that this time will not be too long. It is estimated that in three or four months, our shipyard will It can be put into use initially," Hunter Butler said.

This shipyard is one of the precious properties left to Arthur by the Duke of Arthur, and it will allow Australia, which does not have any shipbuilding capabilities, to take a big step forward in the shipbuilding industry.

This shipyard can independently design and produce small warships of less than [-] tons, and participate in the manufacture of heavy cruisers of over [-] tons.

This is why Arthur insisted on completely relocating this shipyard to Australia. Such a shipyard that independently develops and produces small warships is definitely a resource that Australia cannot lose.

The same is true for military factories and steel factories, which can bring a lot of knowledge and experience to Australia, which has a weak industry, and avoid many detours.

Thanks to Duke Arthur, Arthur can own these several such important factories.Thanks to Duke Arthur, Arthur was able to relocate these factories to Australia in a short distance.

Without these factories, it would probably take at least ten years for Australia to master these technologies.
