Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 342: 23 things on the island

"Are you from the Fortune Church? It's great. I've been waiting for them these days." Lawrence said, after exhorting others, he boarded the sampan and returned to the port with Peter.

"We should always give the port a name." Because it was an acquaintance, Lawrence and Peter chatted on the sampan, and soon they talked about something Peter encountered this morning. "Today members of the Church of the Goddess of Trade and Wealth have been asking us what this place is called, but we can only use the port on Niuhorn Bay to describe this place. This makes me feel a little inappropriate."

"It's really not appropriate, because now the port and nearby towns have been established, but using the word port to describe it seems a bit too irregular." When Peter said this, Lawrence also realized that it was just the call of the port. Not very suitable. "What do you think is better called here?"

As a nomenclature, Lawrence really has no talent for naming. So when he encountered this type of problem, his response was to ask other people for help.

"New Sauerport, anyway, I think there are many places in this area named like this. You are the Earl of Sauer, and the fief is called New Sauer Island, so I personally think that the name is just right." Peter The level of naming is also very average, so he thought about a very popular place name after ten seconds of thinking.

This is also a universal feature of the naming of places in the New World. The colonists often use their hometown or ancestral home to name the land under their feet after they come to the New World to take root. Therefore, if you open a map of the new continent, you will see many place names that are similar to the old one, or add a new word before that old place name.

Although things like going with the crowd don't seem to be distinctive enough, they win in a stable word. So after a brief thought, Lawrence agreed with Peter's suggestion of naming the port in his heart.

"The name you took is very good, at least I can't think of a better name." Lawrence said to Peter, and decided to use this name to name the new town.

Because it takes more than ten minutes to cross the bay, the two people on the boat naturally took this opportunity to chat. In addition to the issue of naming new towns, there are also issues regarding new immigrants and construction issues during the recent period. As a grassroots clergy member of the Church of Knowledge, Peter can observe this territory from another angle.

It can be said that everything is going smoothly. The old farmland and water conservancy facilities have been renovated, and some of the facilities that were not scientifically planned when they were designed in the past were also renovated with the help of the Agricultural Church working group. Again.

And now, taking advantage of the busy farming season, the farms on the plains close to the inland, except for those who take care of the farmland and farms, except for a small part of them, are transferred to work in the urban area near the newly built port. Most of them have been organized by people from all over to build various new water conservancy facilities.

Although there is not a lot of precipitation in this area, the weather is divided into two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. Therefore, if you want to take advantage of the local special climate to plant three times a year, then building enough water conservancy facilities to adjust the water volume in different seasons has become a must to develop planting on this island.

As for the new immigrants, except for the followers in the old territory, the fishermen from the surrounding islands and the tauren who were persuaded to work out of the hilly area. Recently, there have been scattered spontaneous immigration on the island.

The immigrants from the New World to the Old World have never stopped. When these immigrants choose a place to stay, in addition to considering the situation of the place to stay, a very important factor in the choice is the mainstream culture of this colony. For people who come to a new place, if they are surrounded by people or things that they are familiar with, it will help them integrate into the local life more quickly.

For example, people from the east of the Old Continent will immigrate to the New World Republic, while people from the west will immigrate to the White Eagle Federation, the Algarve Empire, and the Elysian Empire, which are empires on the east of the Old Continent.

However, the mainstream ethnic groups of the White Eagle Federation are the Britons and Frans, while the mainstream ethnic groups of the Algarve Empire and the Erythian Empire are the main ethnic groups of the countries in the west of the Old World and the southern part of the sea. In this way, the Visby people who do not have their own population as the mainstream country in the New World are a little uncomfortable. They can only choose those foreign countries that are not familiar to them as their home bases. .

After Lawrence came to New Sauer Island and started a major construction, the North and South Visbys also had a place to choose from. Although the island is still a wild, since he successfully expelled the group The goblin occupied Niujiaowan, and then recently defeated the famous group of pirates in the Sea of ​​Stars. This island has slowly become a new target for some Visby people who have immigrated to the New World.

According to Peter, at least two migrant ships have docked at the port in the last week. Then, after propaganda and on-site inspections, among these immigrants, 33 people from 17 families chose to stay on the island.

"Ah, this is a good start." After hearing this, Lawrence nodded with satisfaction. After eliminating the pirates and making others aware of the power and safety of the island, the island finally had the initiative to come forward. The immigrants. Even now these immigration figures are few in number.

As the two people chatted, their sampan slowly approached the port. Just as the boat passed by the Enterprise, Lawrence noticed that someone had installed something on the bow. Then a green figure leaped from the mast of the ship like Lawrence flying over.

"Nara, what are you doing on the boat?" Lawrence hugged the little doll that flew towards him, lowered his head and asked. In his impression, Nora is a puppet, but she is always busy every day. If it wasn't for herself or the little doll's friends who needed help, she would often go to that astral plane for a whole day, and would not show up in front of everyone until dinner. So Lawrence wondered why she appeared on the ship today.

"I'm asking the workers to install a head portrait on our ship." Nora said, "As a warship that has established a meritorious service, it should have some special devices of its own."

Nora is right. In this world of extraordinary power, some meritorious warships will have their own special decorations, and this decoration will greatly improve the morale of everyone on board. However, the bow portrait that Nora asked the workers to install on the ship is obviously inconsistent with the style of the world in Lawrence's view~lightnovelpub.net~ It is indeed a good idea to get a bow portrait, especially in our Enterprise. In one battle, one enemy ship was sunk and two were captured in a one-on-three battle. "Lawrence first affirmed Nora's approach, and then said: "But why did you choose this." "

Because the wooden statue currently being installed by the workers on the bow of the ship is obviously a bust of the corporate ship girl in a modern military uniform, holding a bow and arrow as an archery in a certain ship girl game.

"My elder brother, you need to think about metaphysics." Nora said, sitting on the ship's side at this time. "Luck is very important when dealing with the sea in this world, and the bow image is an effective means to strengthen luck."

"The power represented by this sculpture is a legend on the sea. I believe that with the protection of the head of the ship, our ship will become a legend on the sea in the future."

"Well, I think what you said should be right." Lawrence was finally persuaded by Nora and agreed to use this wooden statue with a strong second-dimensional taste as the head of the Enterprise. As Nora said, no matter how wrong the style of the statue is, it is still a legend on the sea.
