Chapter 293 I’ll put it up for you (2)

Seeing the size of the offshore farm up close, one can only say that it is truly magnificent.

As the British Prime Minister approached on a cargo ship, he lowered his binoculars and let out an exclamation of pure admiration.

“Wow! Really huge! Another great leap forward in the greatness of human civilization! How could such a thing be created by human hands!”

“It is said that we have achieved a record that will not be broken for decades to come.”

“Only a few decades? It seems like it will remain unbroken for at least a hundred years. What country in the world would think of building a single, super-large structure that is over 4km long?”

Although the Great Wall of China is longer in length, it should be treated as a completely different concept from a castle built on land.

Even the largest ship in the world was less than 500 meters long.

However, the offshore farm is only 2km wide and the average height above the water is 150m.

It’s literally like a piece of land floating on the sea.

“But if such a huge hull is made entirely of semi-hydrophobic metal, wouldn’t it be even more turbulent because of the repulsion from water?”

“Experts said it was okay because it was a method of maintaining the center of gravity stably by attaching odd-numbered weights that were not treated with semi-aqueous water under the surface.”

“eww ”

“First of all, because it is so large, there is little area that is submerged under the water, so it is said that the confusion caused by the water’s recoil is offset.”

“Even if the bottom of the hull is hit by a torpedo, it won’t sink, right?”

“Probably so. It always maintains a constant height above the water surface due to water repulsion. Unlike a normal ship, it does not float due to the difference in density with the surrounding fluid.”

The boat floats because it is lighter than the same volume of water.

Metals that are semi-ionic float on the water because they repel water, and are pushed to the side of the water surface where the force is weakest.

So the explanation was that even if a hole is made below, water will not flow in above sea level.

“It’s literally like an unsinkable aircraft carrier.”

“That’s right.”

An unsinkable carrier is usually a fortress island from which fighters can be launched in a strategic location, but a sea farm converted for combat seemed like it would be more useful than any unsinkable carrier.

Islands have the advantage of not sinking, but they also cannot move from their spot.

“Is food still being exported?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. We work nonstop from 8 a.m. to midnight.”

“I heard it’s quite expensive.”

Currently, the food export operation is being supervised and managed by the Ministry of Finance, not the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Because it was a critical issue that affected the survival of all British citizens.

First of all, the cost of the export operation was so enormous that the Ministry of Finance had no choice but to take charge of it directly.

“What is the current price of wheat?”

“It is 34.2 times the average price of the three months before the tsunami.”

“… … Is this the price set by the swimming group?”

“To be exact, this is the estimated price we calculated based on the quantity and receipts that were issued after receiving the advance payment of 400 million pounds. Since it is a mixture of various items, we applied the average market price for the three months prior to the tsunami as the reference point.”

“34.2 times… … Even if they make a huge profit, they are making a huge profit.”

“I personally protested about that part, but… …

“It was useless, was it?”

“Yes. He said that he was just a businessman who valued trade profits, and that if the numbers we think of were different, there was only one choice left.”

The Prime Minister found himself smiling bitterly.

“Our British are really screwed. It’s because of that damned tidal wave.”

“sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry about? It’s not your fault. The figure of 34.2 times is a heavy burden, but it can’t be helped in order to feed the people. However.”

The Prime Minister’s eyes glowed coldly as he looked at the offshore farm.

“The British Empire will never forget this debt.”

? * ?

“If you trace the traces of evil left in world history, you will definitely find Britain at the end. It is not for nothing that it has earned the title of the leading nation of hateful nations. It has made the work of reputating a mess, a mess.”

Ha Su-yeong was leisurely looking down at the unloading work from a massage chair installed at the highest point of the mission.

Unlike regular ships, offshore farms do not have what can be called an outer deck.

This is because it has a structure that is completely wrapped by an outer wall like a land-based building.

The top-floor farm has an indoor height of almost 10 meters because it is a space for growing trees.

The swimming farm created an artificial forest on the top floor to obtain things like chestnuts, pine nuts, pine needles, and pine needles.

“There are many signs that British officials are quite dissatisfied with the price of the food we provide. They are just enduring it without showing it.”

“The kids aren’t hungry yet. It doesn’t make sense to protest and burn the city because you don’t like Shindu in the first place. When did the British start being so picky about the taste of their food?”

“Even though the taste of the shindoo may be somewhat bland, I can’t say for sure that it is absolutely tasteless.”

“In fact, even if I were to tear it off 100 or 200 times, it wouldn’t be enough, but I can’t even tear it off 50 times, so I’m more dissatisfied. Those stupid friends don’t know that.”

“The anger that has been caused by the obstruction of the selection of the standing directors is not appeased to this extent.”

“Let’s sell food to secure about 300 to 500 billion pounds, and then change our strategy. Have you thought of an excuse for withdrawal?”

“Yes. It is already known that the ship was anchored in Dublin Bay due to maintenance issues on the power unit, so you can just expand on that excuse.”

3.5 trillion pounds is about 530 trillion won.

Even though Britain is a financial powerhouse, this is a significant amount of loan hemorrhage.

Because they were anchored in the Irish capital, the British had the problem of having to travel quite a distance to and from the port of Liverpool.

The option of having the ship sail from another port was not an option, as every drop of fuel needed to power the ship had to be saved.

Now Britain had a system in place where food would be unloaded at the Port of Liverpool, and then American transport planes and helicopters would distribute it evenly throughout Britain.

“As you said, the food sold to Ireland has not yet been paid for.”

“Do it all at once when you withdraw. That way Britain will be less shocked.”

“I’m going to foam at the mouth in protest.”

“Only then can we understand, even just a little, the feelings of our Ha Su-yeong Association members who were left out of the selection process for the standing directorship.”

“Master, the ship carrying the British Prime Minister will dock shortly.”

Usually, when two ships come into contact with each other, it is called berthing, and berthing means attaching a ship to a port for cargo movement, but since offshore farms far exceed the specifications of ships, they are expressed as berthing.

“Well, let’s go out and meet our customer, who is like an enemy to us.”

Ha Su-yeong got up from her seat and went out on a mission.

The Prime Minister, accompanied by his entourage, offered a handshake in a seemingly relaxed manner.

“I am so grateful to the swimming group for helping to ensure that our British people have a stable supply of food.”

“I only went into the grocery trade for personal gain. As a merchant, I got my money’s worth, and I sold what I could get for it.”

Although it was a short expedition, the Prime Minister thought that Ha Su-yeong was formidable.

“I heard there was a problem with the power unit. Are you okay?”

“Oh, it’s not a critical failure. It’s just that we’re more concerned about getting food out right now, so we’re not in a hurry to fix it. We can fix it ourselves, so don’t worry.”

The Prime Minister, who had been thinking of exploring offshore farms and clearing his debts by requesting repair support, had to whet his appetite.

I don’t know if it’s a bluff or not, but it’s certain that Ha Soo-young is at least taking it easy.

The Prime Minister changed the subject.

“I heard you set sail carrying three months’ worth of groceries.”

“Yes, that’s right. I think it was roughly around that amount based on the calculations at the time.”

“Then, once the unloading of food is finished, you will return to port.”

“I’ll have to think about it then. First, the mobile farm needs to be able to move without any problems.”

“Then, may our government ask for items for the next departure?”

“What is the item?”

“If you have three months’ worth of food, you can last for more than half a year if you ration. In that situation, food is no longer our most urgent priority in the UK.”

“Are you talking about daily necessities?”

“That’s included, but the number one priority is oil.”

“Oil… …

“We need ready-to-distribute diesel, gasoline and liquefied natural gas, not unrefined crude oil.”

“But you know what? I don’t know about diesel, but gasoline is dangerous and difficult to transport in large tanks. Even a small fire can blow up the entire mobile farm.”

“Then, would only diesel fuel and liquefied gas be possible?”

“But as you know, mobile farms are not designed to transport oil. You can’t put industrial oil in a grain tank. And there are limits to how much you can clean.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if we transported it by loading a number of large tanks?”

“It’s not impossible, but it will involve a lot of additional costs. Is that okay?”

“Of course. Now is not the time for Britain to be frugal.”

“Fortunately, Korea currently has a large stockpile of natural gas imported from Russia and crude oil imported from the UAE. As soon as you deposit the money, I will contact you and instruct you to prepare for refining and transportation.”

At the mention of deposit, the Prime Minister smiled wryly without being seen.

It was clear that he intended to take the money first and then move forward.

When I see things like this, the saying that a merchant is faithful to his duty is exactly right.

“We need to finish shipping out the groceries as quickly as possible so that we can get the oil as soon as possible.”

The US military does supply fuel by air, but how much can be delivered by air, let alone by sea? It’s just a drop in the bucket.

In comparison, this huge ship, measuring 4 km in length, will be able to carry several or even dozens of times more oil than a typical supertanker at once.

It would be possible to transport that much even without being equipped with a giant oil tank.

“If the calculation is done quickly, the export will be finished quickly.”

The moment he saw the strange smile on Ha Soo-young’s lips, the Prime Minister was convinced.

Contrary to his reputation as a good person in the world, Lee Ja-eun is a thorough capitalist.

In Korea, he is known as a very generous donor, but even his huge donations are likely just a means to achieve personal gain.

“We will have to buy all the three months’ worth of food that was brought to supply Britain.”

“I prefer cash transactions, but I also accept installment payments as long as the collateral is solid.”

“Okay, I’ll make a deal. But… …

“Starting today, we will work 24 hours a day, day and night without rest. We will also mobilize all Androids.”

The Prime Minister left the offshore farm with a feeling of relief and relief half on his mind.

In addition to the cost of food, you must also prepare the cost of oil and gas separately.

The price yet to be paid was too high to celebrate the successful defense of the nation’s food supply.

Above all, I didn’t dare to ask the question of whether I knew anything about tsunami waves.

“I need to prepare money, a lot of money… …
