Chapter 1571 The Women on the Ogura ([-])

"It's okay. Dad and uncles took the ship materials to the wood processing factory for processing. We just assembled them, caulked them ourselves, and installed the equipment." Qian Duoduo said calmly, "It's not as good now It used to be that you had to make everything yourself—a lot of things were readily available."

"Actually, we can do the paint ourselves..." A voice came from the back of the boat, and a girl came out from the back of the boat. It was Xiaoying, Dr. Zhong's adopted daughter.

Zhong Lishi, in order to avoid suspicion and avoid being said that he was engaged in the "Guangyuan's Project", formally went through the adoption procedures in the general office and officially adopted Zhong Xiaoying.

After adoption, in theory, Zhong Xiaoying can enter the Academy to study according to the treatment of "children of elders", but Dr. Zhong feels that the knowledge she has mastered is too messy and unsystematic, so entering the Academy will be very uncomfortable, and he also needs a capable assistant by your side.Just take it with you and educate yourself.

However, he still cautiously registered Zhong Xiaoying as a student at the Learning Academy, but he didn't usually attend school.Although she didn't study here, as a "child of a veteran", without this previous education, her status as a "daughter of a veteran" would be greatly reduced, and she would lose many powerful alumni.Although Dr. Zhong did not intend to pass on his seat to his adopted daughter, he also hoped that she could at least occupy a favorable position in the future empire.

Lin Ziqi had met Zhong Xiaoying several times before, and knew that she was Zhong Lishi's adopted daughter.

She doesn't know that this adopted daughter has special skills, but she has extensive knowledge and miscellaneous knowledge, and she can talk about everything clearly. As a genuine girl of the 21st century, she is far inferior to her in many aspects of knowledge.Lin Ziqi was somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhong Xiaoying has clean short hair, wearing the same style of sea soul shirt as Qian Duoduo, canvas shorts, her exposed skin is tanned, and she has a fit body. She doesn't look like a girl from the 17th century at all.

The most important thing is her Mandarin, which is well-spoken and round. Although she has a slight Cantonese accent, she speaks it much more standard than some Cantonese veterans.

No wonder Dad said that the environment changes people the most. There are no traces of her past life on Zhong Xiaoying.Dr. Zhong is worthy of being a "doctor", even the women he trains are different.

People like Dad and Uncle Zhang are really dicks everywhere...

Lin Ziqi sighed with mixed emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Tell me, how are you going to get the white paint?" Qian Duoduo has always been worried about the lack of white paint, not only because the boat he made with his own hands is useless, but also the white paint on Feiyun itself has peeled off after a few years. Few, mottled, very ugly.The three families have been thinking about whether they can get some paint and paint the boat thoroughly.

The chemical industry in Lingao has made great progress, but the people in the chemical industry don't pay much attention to the paint. Basically, they just use enough and use it. They mainly use raw lacquer, tung oil and coal tar.Mainly natural color and black, some colored paints are produced in a small amount, and white paints that are mainly decorative are almost not produced at all.

"Dr. Zhong said——" Zhong Xiaoying often starts with this sentence. She is not used to calling Dr. Zhong "Dad". "Australian white paint is mainly colored with titanium dioxide. We don't have titanium dioxide here, but Zinc white and lead white can be used as paints, but the color is not white enough, not as good-looking and shiny as the white one on the Feiyun.”

"White is good, the requirements should not be too high." Qian Duoduo said.

"The key is that the paint must have a solvent. Dad said that it is not impossible to do it at our industrial level, but it is troublesome. He said that if it is simple, we can use tung oil to adjust the lead white or zinc white powder. The color is not white enough."

"Why didn't you say it earlier..." Qian Duoduo said dissatisfied.

"I just talked to Dr. Zhong. Besides, if the factory is not producing, you can't adjust it yourself." Zhong Xiaoying said,
"That's true. And white lead is poisonous. I remember a veteran who once said that the powder used to wipe the face over there was made of lead grinding powder. It's too scary. If you apply it directly on your face, you won't have lead. Poisoning? I don’t know where to make zinc white powder? Can I just use a piece of zinc to polish it?”

"It seems to be calcined from ore. I don't know the details. But its scientific name is zinc oxide. According to the general chemical reaction, I think that zinc white can also be obtained by directly burning zinc." Zhong Xiaoying said very seriously.

Lin Ziqi turned her head bored, she was not interested in this topic at all.

"...if there is zinc white, it can be made more elegant." Zhong Xiaoying seems to be very interested in this topic. When I saw them refining camphor oil—and then adding natural wax, if you want to look better, you can add mica rock powder, which can have a pearlescent effect..."

"Taiwan? Did you mean Formosa?"

Before Zhong Xiaoying finished speaking, an out-of-tune Mandarin voice suddenly rang out, startling Lin Ziqi: Who is this!
Judging by the weird tone, she must be a foreigner, but even Miss Mendoza couldn't speak a single Chinese word back then, and Mandarin is not so awkward now.

"Sonia, don't be so sudden, okay?" Qian Duoduo covered her chest, "It's scary!"

"Sorry, sorry, I heard someone say Formosa, no, Taiwan, so I can't help it." The visitor was indeed a Caucasian girl with curly blond hair and a straw hat decorated with ribbons, sea blue Eyes, petite, wearing a blue dress with white lace on the collar, it looks like a doll.

Although she had never seen it before, Lin Ziqi knew that this blond girl must be the Portuguese girl who made a big splash at the auction and caused several elders to bid, and was finally acquired by Lin Hanlong——this has become a member of the Senate. Urban legend.

"Let me introduce to everyone, this is Sonia Lili Shapoel."

"Lisbon deserves a naturalist." Before Qian Duoduo finished speaking, the girl hastened to add.

"Don't worry about your title." Qian Duoduo said, "These two are the daughters of the elders, ah, no, Ziqi is an elder herself, just like me—underage."

Sonia held up the hem of her skirt and made a deep curtsy: "Miss."

Lin Ziqi quickly reached out her hand: "My name is Lin Ziqi, just call me Ziqi."

Zhong Xiaoying was even more uncomfortable, she didn't know where to put her hands: "Well, don't...my name is Zhong Xiaoying. I'm not Miss..."

"Don't be polite one by one, come on, have some drinks first."

Although Qian Duoduo was young, he was very generous in the "outside", and immediately invited everyone to rest under the shade shed next to the ship frame, where the cold kvass had already been soaked in the bucket.Although the four people have different identities, they are of the same age, and their living environment in Lingao is similar, so they chatted easily.

Compared with Lin Ziqi and Zhong Xiaoying, Sonia is more interested in this small boat. Portugal is a maritime country, and she often goes out to sea for investigation, so she is very familiar with navigation and ships.Qian Duoduo's small boat reminded her of some small boats along the Atlantic Ocean, quite similar to this one.

"It's a beautiful boat," she said sincerely. "It's not a junk boat, but a European one! I guess it's sailable."

"Of course." Qian Duoduo said proudly, I will go into the water today, and I plan to sail along the coast.

Lin Ziqi was skeptical: "This boat is so small, can it go into the sea? It capsized in a big wave."

"No problem." Sonia said affirmatively, "The wave resistance of the small boat is very good. If I pack enough water and dry food, I can use it to sail to Batavia, or even sail across the sea to New Zealand. Spain is no problem." She said with a glow of enthusiasm on her face.

Lin Ziqi was skeptical, but she was neither familiar nor interested in it, she just kept looking at why Zhang Yunmi didn't come yet?Did you quarrel with the secretary at home?still is……

I was thinking wildly when I heard Qian Duoduo laughing: "You are going to sail to Batavia, Uncle Lin will definitely find me desperately."

When Sonia was told by her, she immediately showed a lonely smile: "Yes, I am a slave."

Qian Duoduo consciously made a slip of the tongue, and silently stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the shed was a bit awkward for a while.Zhong Xiaoying hurriedly said: "I was also a slave when I came to Lingao, and the contract of sale is still a contract of death—a slave who will never be allowed to be free."

"Not everyone is as lucky as you." Sonia sighed, "Let's be honest: my luck is not bad, and I didn't end up in a terrible harem. It's more tolerant than I thought, even It is also very free, and the master is a learned man. He taught me a lot of knowledge that I have never heard of, and there are many mysterious books..." Speaking of these mysterious books, her eyes lit up, and then she Sighing again, he said regretfully, "If it weren't for the fact that I am a slave..."
"If it wasn't because you are a slave, you wouldn't be able to read these books at all." Lin Ziqi interjected, "Hmph, you can be content. The elder's black...knowledge is not something that just anyone can learn! "

Sonia froze for a moment, then smiled again: "You're right."

Qian Duoduo felt that what Lin Ziqi said was too harsh, so she deliberately changed the topic: "Sonia, you heard that Taiwan Island is so excited, do you want to go?" Qian Duoduo asked.

"Well, since I knew I came to China, I have always wanted to visit this big island." Sonia nodded, "I have seen some brochures written by the Dutch, this island is not developed at all, there should be many Something worth seeing."
