I really don't want to be the pirate king

Under Hamid's management, Huntington Shipyard has prospered and has become the largest shipyard in the town of Stadt and even in the nearby waters.

In the past four years, the shipyard has expanded its dockyard and acquired a medium-sized shipyard that can manufacture passenger ships, cargo ships, warships, engineering ships and other different types of ships, covering various tonnages and sizes.

Among them, No. 45 Dockyard can even build large ships with a length of more than 75 meters and a maximum of [-] meters. It is one of the few sea-going ships in the West Sea that can build large ships.

For example, there is a 65-meter-long warship parked in the No. [-] dock. This is the royal flagship warship ordered by the Kingdom of Reines. It is both beautiful and practical. It is also the most important order for Huntington Shipyard.

What we have to do today is the task of erecting the main mast. The thick mast is 70 meters in total length and about five meters in diameter at the bottom. It uses giant ironwood and weighs nearly 550 tons.

A mast of such weight requires not only the construction of a strong mast cabin, but also the construction of two levels of cabins on the deck to help secure the mast.

It is extremely difficult to erect a mast of such weight, and this is also a reflection of the strength of a shipyard.

So today Elvis, the eldest prince of the Reins Kingdom, and Klaus, the naval commander, all arrived here to inspect the mast erection work.

I saw that the huge mast had been transported to the dock, and the workers were tying the steel cables hanging from above to the mast.

"Why don't I see a winch?"

Elvis asked curiously, "Don't I see that other shipyards have giant winches?"

"Prince Elvis is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The winch is indeed an indispensable tool for raising the mast."

Hamid complimented from the side, and then said: "But our Hamid Shipyard does not need a winch."

"How can you pull up such a heavy mast without a winch? For a mast of more than 500 tons, the lifting weight must be more than [-] tons, right?"

Klaus asked with a frown. He knew more than Elvis. Such a mast cannot be pulled up without a large winch, and the manufacturing process of a winch of more than [-] tons is the most difficult.

"You don't need two hundred tons."

Hamid smiled and said: "In our shipyard, a foreman named Aaron designed a pulley block that can lift only 120 tons."

"Doesn't it also require a winch?" Klaus looked at him.

"With a weight of 120 tons, we don't need a winch yet."

Hamid raised his finger, pointed into the distance, and said, "You two, please look."

Following his words, the two of them looked towards the high platform in the distance, where a tall and strong young man appeared.

The other person is about 24 years old, [-] meters tall, muscular, and looks very oppressive.

Aaron stood on the high platform, grabbed a thick steel cable with both hands, let out a sigh of luck, and suddenly pulled down hard with both arms.

Rumble.

The fixed pulley above the head rotates slowly, and the movable pulley continues to rise, pulling up the front half of the mast and keeping it vertical.

Aaron fixed the steel cable and notified the people below, while other workers wrapped the reserved steel cable around the lower section of the mast again to fix it.

After doing all this, Aaron held another steel cable, moved forward, moved the pulley group, and drove the mast to the top of the battleship, aiming at the mast warehouse below.

At this time, he fixed the steel cable, then loosened the previously fixed steel cable, slowly released it, and allowed the mast to sink.

The mast fell slowly and forcefully into the mast cabin, slid down a little bit, and finally entered the mast well.

Other workers rushed forward and began to fix the mast and complete the subsequent work.

"ended."

Aaron clapped his palms. There were some red marks on his palms and his arms were a little tired, but the task was successfully completed.

The lifting weight of 120 tons did not reach Aaron's limit, mainly because the duration was relatively long, and the whole process was close to 10 minutes.

If it is the maximum lifting capacity, it is estimated that 150 tons will be no problem.

Four years ago, Aaron could only lift a weight of [-] tons, but now it has doubled.

Aaron already has excellent physical talent and has great strength since he was a child. In the past four years of training with Robin, in order not to be controlled by her with her grown arms, he worked hard in private and improved very quickly. .

"Too, too great."

After watching Aaron's process of raising the mast, Klaus was very surprised, "He actually raised the mast by himself. His strength is really too great."

"Who is that guy?" Elvis couldn't help but ask his name.

"He was the shipwright who developed the new pulley, Aaron Johnson."

Hamid waved to Aaron. After he came over, Hamid patted Aaron on the back and introduced: "He is also one of the three major foremans at our Huntington Shipyard. He is mainly responsible for mast assembly and other work."

"What a strong man."

Klaus looked at Aaron and said, "But a talent like you is too limited in a shipyard. If you join the army with me, you can become an excellent general."

"I myself have lived a stable life and do not want to participate in a war."

Aaron smiled and said: "And the job in the shipyard is good, I like it very much."

"With Aaron's talents, being a foreman in a shipyard would be too much of a stretch."

Hamid looked at Aaron and said: "However, after I take over the family affairs, I plan to hand over the shipyard to the deputy director and appoint Aaron as the deputy director of the shipyard."

Thanks to the lifting gear Aaron designed, combined with his immense strength, it was possible to build large ships.

The construction of large ships made the shipyard the most outstanding shipyard in this area, and the development of the shipyard also enhanced Hamid's status in the eyes of his father.

Regarding the inheritance of the family's property, the old man has already drawn up a will. Hamid will become the patriarch of the family and take over most of the family affairs, as well as the position of member of the city council.

Aaron, who helped Hamid do all this, received attention, and Hamid planned to entrust him with important tasks.

"I heard that the old man's health is not very good." Klaus asked with concern.

"That's right, I've asked many doctors to check, but they all said that I might not be able to survive this month."

Hamid looked sad and said: "When I think about this, I can't even eat."

"There's nothing you can do about it. You've done a great job."

Klaus patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Huntington family still needs your support."

"You're right!"

Hamid nodded, then looked at the other party and said, "I will lead the Huntington family to move forward, and I would like to ask Prince Elvis and Mr. Claus for their support."

"It's easy to say..."

Klaus said with a smile on his face, "If the trial of this warship is successful, the next few warships will also be handed over to Huntington Shipyard."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Claus."

Hamid laughed and said, "I have prepared a dinner for the two of us, Aaron, you can come too."

"Me? I'll let it go."

Aaron shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired today. I need to go back and take a rest."

Robin is still at home, and she will scold him if he goes back late.

That little girl has grown up, and her temper has also grown a lot.
