In Yat-sen's words, not only the longing for the port area and the sisters, but also the yearning and expectation for the future.

Hearing her words and looking at the finished embroidery, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but remind himself in his heart that he must take this responsibility and not live up to the expectations of the ship girls.

The construction of the new port area must be implemented as soon as possible. Even if it will take some time to break ground, at least the plan must be finalized first.

So, a few days later, after Pepper returned from a business trip in Florida, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to invite her and Stark, and invited them to the manor again.

"Let's create another small town?" After Shi Xiaolei finished speaking, Stark looked puzzled: "Why? Isn't this design very good now? The ten-story hotel is matched with an independent hotel. The villa, plus seven or eight courtyards with a larger area, should be enough."

"It's not for tourists." Shaking his head, Shi Xiaolei explained, "I mean, build another small town that prohibits tourists from entering and leaving."

"...Is it necessary?" Stark still couldn't understand: "If you say you want to get two manors, I will get one for you, and I can understand. Get a small town... I know, your family has a lot of people. Yes, but after careful calculation, it is not so much that it takes a small town to be properly settled, right?"

"I'm preparing for the future." Shi Xiaolei explained: "There are only so few people now, it doesn't mean that there will be only so many in the future... I can't explain the specific situation to you, but I want to use Tony yours. Smart and intelligent, you must understand what I'm talking about."

First it was Bayonetta, and then it was Yat Sen.

Although Stark did not witness the moment when they came to Shi Xiaolei, it is undeniable that he has directly felt the fact that there are more and more family members around friends.

"I see." Nodding, Stark thought: "If that's the case, your request is not incomprehensible. But... well, it's not a big deal when you think about it, it's just a small town."

"SO, did you agree?" Shi Xiaolei showed expectant eyes.

"Come on." Stark rolled his eyes and replied in one sentence, "You've already spoken, can I disagree?"

"hey-hey."

Stark's agreement was only the first step.

It's not that easy to really put things into practice.

Not to mention, just choosing a location for this unplanned town is a troublesome matter that requires a combination of factors and careful consideration before making a decision.

It can't be too close to the viewing area with dense tourists; considering the mood of the ship girls, it is best to choose an area with a beach where they can relax and entertain; if you want to build a dock that can summon all types of ship girls, the water depth It is a hard indicator, and there is no room for compromise...

Although the size of Nihao Island is large, it is only relative to a small island.

To be honest, if I want to find an address on this island that is suitable for building a port area... If it is qualified as an alternative area, it will only cost two or three yuan in total.

Without exception, in the existing design scheme, these pieces of land have their own attribution.

Either overturn the design plan that has now been finalized, start with the planning and design drawings of the second phase of the project, and completely overturn it and redo it. Or, choose a plot with less suitable conditions, spend more money, and use human and material resources to modify the terrain to make it look like you want.

No matter which method you choose, the workload will not be small.

How to choose?

After a week of deliberation, Shi Xiaolei finally chose the latter. On the west side of the island, that is, the left side of the small plateau that occupies almost one-fifth of the entire island, he encircled a piece of land to prepare for the construction of a new port area. .

Because the terrain is high and there is no beach below, in the original plan, this land was not given an important mission. Hotels, commercial streets, amusement centers and other facilities will be built on the north and south ends of the island, but here, only one functional building is arranged, that is, the lighthouse used to guide the direction.

Compared with other facilities, the location of the lighthouse does not need to be so picky.

After all, that thing only needs to be tall enough to be conspicuous, and to achieve this, the terrain doesn't have to be high. The lighthouse itself is built a little higher, and the result is the same.

Moreover, the port area that Shi Xiaolei wanted to build should have been equipped with a lighthouse. In other words, there is no need to modify the design drawings at all, and the lighthouse originally scheduled to be built here can be placed in the port area together.

'Leave, stay, stay, the position still has to be moved. emmm, here it is. ’

'Open a road on the mountain, leading to the bottom. Or simply cut a few steps into a ladder shape, like Santorini in Greece, build a few floors of buildings by taking advantage of the mountains...'

'The following has to be reclaimed to make land, otherwise the pier will not be available. By the way, we have to leave a piece of land and get a beach out. ’

'In this kind of terrain, it seems that you can consider hiding the dock in the mountain wall, emmm, go back and ask about the difficulty of construction, if it's easy to do, just do it. After all, it is the most critical core part, and it is always good to hide it a little deeper. ’

'I don't know if the girls will dislike the inconvenience of getting up and down, why don't they just get a ropeway? Destroyers will definitely like it... Okay, let's add it in for now and look back. ’

'What else is going on... by the way, and the command center. ’

Although he is not a professional designer, in order to make life more comfortable for the ship girls, Shi Xiaolei picked up a paintbrush and designed the plan of the port himself.

It's just that I have never studied systematically, and this sketch drawn by Shi Xiaolei... can only be described in words.

"Hey~lightnovelpub.net~ Looking at the design on the table, which is even more abstract than Kang Na's work, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed deeply because of his lack of skill.

"I don't know if Yixian can draw. It would be great if there was a helper who could draw."

Speaking of painting, Shi Xiaolei's mind couldn't help but the image of a ship girl, not someone else, but Tirpitz, who was frequently cleaned up by her sister because of her painting book.

But on second thought, that girl is a battleship, and the summoning price must be very high, and it may even be one of the best among many ship girls. Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but lowered his head again, showing a depressed look again.

"Forget it, let's do it for now. The big deal is that Pepper will send someone over and repaint it according to my wishes."

Just as he was about to put away the 'design drawings', the door of the study was knocked open with a bang, and Kang Na rushed in like a bandit.

"Xiao Lei Xiao Lei, look at you~!"

She was startled, and after a few seconds, she regained her composure. Looking at Kang Na again, the little girl ran over happily waving a picture, and in a blink of an eye, she crashed into Shi Xiaolei's arms sitting on the chair like a cannonball.

"What are you looking at? You little girl, you scared me, don't you know?"

"Hey, sorry."

"Sorry does it work? I need a pudding, or..."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you one later. Xiaolei Xiaolei, look at this first, do you look like me? Is it very similar?"

"what?"
