What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 36 Arrival
"What, an aircraft carrier?"

Tang Yiyi woke up and found that he might not be awake.

"The 27000-ton Hornet, a level eight gold ship?!"

Tang Yi opened his mouth in disbelief, and it took him a long time to believe that the commander was lucky.

An eighth-level gold aircraft carrier is simply out of reach for a shipyard that is still at the first-level stage.

Even a silver aircraft carrier in the technology tree costs at least several million silver coins, and it was opened from a box just like that?
"Boss, now that we're ashore, you should rest for a few days. Stay in the shipyard and don't go out."

"what happened?"

"I'm afraid that bad luck will backfire on you and you'll get into a bloody disaster if you go out."

"..."

After teasing for a few times, Tang Yi paced back and forth with an unstoppable smile on his face.

After saying "OK, OK" several times, Tang Yi raised his head happily and said:

"Then we can start selecting a location for the ship. I don't know where else nearby would be suitable."

Tang Wen was stunned:
"Ship position?"

"Yes, you need a space to dock the Hornet."

"You mean we need to build a port to accommodate aircraft carriers?"

Tang Wen waved his hand and said:

"I don't need it now, why should I take it out?"

Tang Yi was somewhat helpless and pointed upwards:

"Commander, you should see the warehouse."

Tang Wen then opened the panel in his mind and after entering the warehouse, he found a line of prompts below the Hornet:
[Insufficient ship space, automatic purchase of ship space failed (less than 200 gold coins)]

[Insufficient warehouse space, please collect the warship within 24 hours]

"Commander, the warehouse cannot store warships. You must build a port to obtain space for the ships."

"The exclusive port in World of Warships is different from the ports in the outside world. The port belonging to the shipyard is a special building.

The port and the shipyard belong to the commander's safe zone. You can see everything that happens in the safe zone. The port can also automatically repair the warships and defend against external attacks.

If you want to conceal the presence of an aircraft carrier, you can build an enclosed bay."

Only then did Tang Yi notice that a new construction function had been added to the system at some point, including the "port" option.

Ports are divided into primary, advanced and intermediate levels, and the most obvious function is to repair ships.

It only needs to consume electricity to directly restore the ship's health bar, which is equivalent to repairing it.

The primary port can restore 0.1% of the health bar per minute, the intermediate port is 0.5%, and the advanced port reaches 1%.

This also means that as long as the health bar is not zero, even if there is only 1 point left, it can be restored to its original state by staying in the port for a while.

It's really... horrifying.

At this time, the Y1 yacht was about to dock, and Tang Wen could already see his own shipyard.

He selected the new port in his mind, and immediately a bird's-eye view similar to that when upgrading a shipyard appeared, where he could select a point on the map to build a port.

The size of the port can be flexibly configured. The primary port starts with 5 berths and costs 1000 silver coins.

Although it is painful, it is not unaffordable considering Tang Wen's current net worth.

Well, it’s just less than 50,000.

However, Tang Wen values ​​its ship repairing skills the most. With this thing, he dares to use the manufacturer's warranty.

No matter what is broken, throw it into the harbor for a day and it will be a good boat again when you take it out.

Just as he was thinking about the location of the port, he suddenly thought of a question:
"Wait, the port needs to be in deep water, right? The Hornet's draft is at least seven or eight meters. There's no place with such conditions on the coast of Dawan Village, right?"

Hearing Tang Wen's concerns, Tang Yi laughed:
"Commander, this has no impact. We just need to consider where to build it." Tang Wen instantly understood that GAIJIN's power would take effect again, nodded and said no more.

While the two were discussing, the yacht had arrived at the shipyard and entered the dock through the open lock.

Tang Wen jumped off the boat and the first thing he saw were several bullet holes on the hull caused by 12.7mm bullets.

"Take off the engine, and discard everything else..."

Although nothing could be found out under the current conditions, Tang Wen still preferred to be cautious.

The V8 motor is almost new and can still be used after being disassembled, and the steel of the hull can be directly recycled.

From now on, this incident will become an eternal mystery. No trace of the participants will be left. The Taiwan Water Police will never know the true identity of the "pirates" or their real purpose.

8000 tons of steel are enough to cope with consumption for a long period of time, and there will also be ways to try for shipwrecks farther away in the future.

After the motor and other supplies were moved out of the Y1 yacht, Tang Wen stretched out his hand, and in full view of everyone, the Y24, which had only been sailing for less than 1 hours, melted into the air like snowflakes.

[Recycling successful: 52 tons of steel have been stored in the warehouse]

After the yacht disappeared, Tang Wen felt a little empty. In fact, it felt pretty good to have a boat.

He thought of the Hornet in the warehouse again and immediately discussed with Tang Yi where to place the port.

“It’s pretty good right next to us.”

Tang Yi pointed to the bay on the south side of the shipyard, where there was a small hill.

It is C-shaped and concave towards the sea, which is a very good sheltered area.

Of course, the water in the bay is very shallow now, with a maximum depth of only two or three meters. Under normal circumstances, it would be a pipe dream to transform it into a large port. It would be better to find other places to spend the energy on dredging.

But with GAIJIN's supreme force, these are just minor problems that are not a big deal.

Another advantage of the nameless bay is that it is hidden and it is difficult to see what is going on inside.

If there is some deliberate obstruction, it will be difficult to see clearly what ships are inside unless you observe closely or conduct aerial reconnaissance.

However, the bay is very small. If it were a large ship like the Hornet, the five berths would have been divided up completely.

Tang Wen and Tang Yi drove a truck to the top of the mountain in the nameless bay and confirmed that there was no one living there. Normally, no one would come here.

Tang Wen called up the port option on the panel and immediately chose to build a primary port.

His perspective quickly moved upwards, and he began to choose a location while looking down at the shrinking earth.

After the bay is selected, the layout of the shipyard begins to automatically match the bay terrain, and the five berths are also arranged in a C-shaped layout.

[Build a primary port, silver coins -1000]

After another dazzling flash, a translucent arc-shaped light curtain immediately appeared in the bay.

The soil and sand in the covered area melted away layer by layer as if being swallowed, even below the sea level.

With the help of GAIJIN's mighty power, the terrain within a distance of nearly 200 meters from the bay to the open sea has been changed, and the average water depth has increased from 1 to 10 meters to 18 meters, opening up a veritable deep-water port channel.

At the same time, layers of buildings emerged from the void, starting from the foundation and built upwards layer by layer.

The first things to be completed were the five berths, with five piers extending towards the exit, corresponding to five large berths capable of berthing ships of more than 10 tons.

As various buildings emerged, several tugboats also appeared in the sea, and gantry cranes, warehouses, giant oil storage stations, ammunition depots and other facilities also appeared on the shore of the port.

In the center of the C position is a huge rest area for the crew, including hotels, restaurants, tennis courts, bars, etc. It is still full of the Pearl Harbor style of the 40s, and many buildings are decorated in white.

When the entire port was completed, the staff who maintained the necessary operations began to walk around in the port, creating a lively scene.

Before Tang Wen had time to appreciate it, the system detected the existence of the dock and the Hornet was squeezed out and placed at berth No. 1.

An aircraft carrier weighing more than 228.6 tons suddenly appeared. The 34.7-meter-long and -meter-wide ship almost immediately occupied the entire space. It swayed left and right in the sea for several times before slowly rising and falling with the water surface.

On the sparkling sea, the deck of the Hornet was filled with carrier-based aircraft, just like in the game, ready to take off towards the sunset.
