If you are just building destroyers, the dock does not need to be too big. But if you want to build large ships such as battleships and aircraft carriers, a small dock is not enough.

Unfortunately, there is only one construction machine, and after it is put down, it will be integrated with the dock. There is no way to dismantle it unless the entire dock is destroyed.

what does that mean? This means that when you cannot summon a destroyer girl, you put it in a small dock, and when you want to summon a battleship girl, you can move it to a larger dock for use. It can only be put in place at one time, and the construction machine can be directly equipped with a dock that is large enough to build large warships.

This is not easy to handle.

After all, not every shipyard is qualified to build large ships, and not every shipyard has a shipyard with sufficient tonnage. It is not easy to find a shipyard that meets your requirements.

Even if you find it, people may not be willing to sell it. You know, the position of that thing in the shipyard is just like the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, which is the lifeblood of the shipyard. Even if Shi Xiaolei was willing to spend a lot of money, he wouldn't be able to easily let go and agree to sell things to him.

Taking a step back, even if someone is willing to sell, Shi Xiaolei may not dare to buy it with confidence.

It's not because I'm afraid of being cheated and how much money I'll lose, but because I bought that thing to summon the ship girl...

A shipbuilding factory with a large shipyard must not be small in scale. If you think about it, you will know that there must have been countless people gathered near the shipyard, relying on the shipyard to make a living. In that crowded environment, would Shi Xiaolei dare to use the dock to summon the ship girl? The answer is obviously no.

After much deliberation, the safest way is to start from scratch.

In this way, the question in Shi Xiaolei's mind changed from 'Where is there a ready-made large shipyard' to 'Where to build a shipyard'.

"emmm... I have it~!"

With his brows relaxed and a smile on his face, Shi Xiaolei closed his laptop and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"Hey, Pepper~, are you busy?"

Because he usually calls Tony directly, when he suddenly received a call from Shi Xiaolei, Pepper on the other end seemed a little surprised: "Locke?"

"it's me."

"Why did you call me suddenly? I'm in the company, not with Tony..."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I'm not looking for Tony." Shi Xiaolei said with a smile, "I just wanted to find you, so I made this call to you."

"Huh?" Pepper became even more confused: "Then...what's the matter?"

"It's nothing big. I just want to ask about things over there on Nihau Island. Pepper, has construction started there? Or is it still in the design and planning stage?"

As Stark's sole agent, Pepper not only assumed the role of CEO of Stark Industries, but also held many messy positions and was in charge of many miscellaneous things. For example, she was responsible for following up on the planning and design of Niihau Island, and she also supervised some important construction-related projects.

"The first phase of the project is already under preparation and is expected to officially start in half a month... What's the matter, Locke?"

"That's it..." After thinking about it, he felt that he might not be able to explain clearly on the phone. Shi Xiaolei simply suggested: "How about I go over to you and let's meet and chat? By the way, Pepper, you're not busy now. If you don't have time, , we can make an appointment at another time later."

"I'm in Florida now." After explaining his location first, Pepper then asked: "Locke, are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, I will go back to New York this afternoon..."

"No, no, no, there's no need to change your schedule for me. You go about your business. I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you wait a few days."

"Well, according to the scheduled schedule, I can't go back until the day after tomorrow. Let's see you the day after tomorrow?" After a pause, Pepper added: "Or, you can also contact Tony directly. You know, he is in New York now, and Quite free... Haha, just yesterday, he told me on the phone that he wanted to have dinner at your house. I believe he would be happy to receive your call. "

"...Okay, I'll go back and see if there's anything to eat at home." At this point, Shi Xiaolei laughed unconsciously: "By the way, Pepper, you should probably nag him a few words. Come every day." It’s okay for me to eat too much here, but just eating without exercising...don’t you think he’s gained some weight recently? Especially the lump on his belly.”

"I've already contacted him." Pepper also laughed: "When I go back this time, I should stay in New York for more than a month without leaving. By then, I will keep an eye on him every day and make sure he practices well. practice."

"That's right. You must not be soft-hearted. It's best to let Jarvis take some videos during practice. I can't wait to see Tony become exhausted."

"No wonder you have such a good relationship, okay, I'll try my best."

After chatting for a few more words, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to end the call when he heard some movement on Pepper's side, as if he had something to do again.

I put down my phone and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Thinking that he had to go to the store tomorrow, Shi Xiaolei stood up and stretched, moved his back, and then walked out of the study.

"Huh?" When he returned upstairs, he found Yixian still sitting in the living room. Shi Xiaolei couldn't help being a little surprised: "Yixian, you haven't slept yet?"

"Commander." Putting down the embroidery bandage in his hand, Yixian gently raised his head.

Because she was at home, Yixian put on her favorite cheongsam again. Under the creamy yellow light, she looked like a lady walking out of a painting, pure and generous, elegant, quiet, gentle and dignified.

"I made mung bean soup, do you want to drink some?"

"Is there mung bean soup?" Shi Xiaolei really felt a little thirsty when Yixian said this.

Smiling, Shi Xiaolei nodded expectantly: "Then I have to get a bowl. By the way, add some ice cubes for me. It's hot, but it's still comfortable to drink cold."

"It's all in the refrigerator. It should be very cold."

Turning around and walking towards the kitchen, Yixian had a delighted smile on his face. As a ship girl, and also a wedding ship, what makes Yixian happiest is to do something for Shi Xiaolei, even if it is just something inconspicuous and small.

While Yixian went to the kitchen to make mung bean soup for herself, Shi Xiaolei came to the coffee table, put down the two magazines he brought back from the study, and picked up the hand bandage she had just placed on the armrest.

The fine white soft satin was stretched by hand to form a round surface the size of a face plate, and some colorful thin threads have been embroidered on it... Because Yixian's female red handiwork is very good, there is no need to use pencils to draw patterns and embroidery, it has been There were too few embroidered parts. For a moment, Shi Xiaolei really couldn't figure out what kind of work she was embroidering.

"Commander, does it look good?" Yixian came back carrying a tray.

"Uh." After scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei could only laugh: "I don't understand this, I can't tell. Yixian, what are you embroidering?"

"The scenery in the port area." He came to Shi Xiaolei's side, put down the tray, picked up the small bowl, handed it to Shi Xiaolei, and took the bandage from his hand. Pointing to the embroidered part, Yixian had a look of reminiscence on his face: "Look here, this is the combat command center, this is the central square, and this is our dormitory..."
