In the shipyards of the military base of Coatzacoalcos, Flavio had arrived to supervise the construction of the first ships of Nova Roma because to build ships it is necessary to treat the wood which takes time to dry.
Admes the dwarf leader was the one who had the task of supervising the first ship constructions in Nova Roma, he was giving a speech while Flavio saw him without interrupting him
"Remember to place on the hull part of the ship copper and use tin nails with copper alloy, otherwise the steel or iron nails will disintegrate with the oxidation of copper.
For mother Tonantzin does not forget to wear your protective glasses, yesterday we had two accidents because they are not respecting safety instructions, boys you are the core of the imperial navy.
If you do not take care of yourself, we will lose qualified people and the quality of our ships will be lower, jeopardizing the safety of our sailors, so that now they move their asses and start working that we have to build ships. "
The workers returned to their work taking care to have their protective elements that are annoying to do their job, but they have more respect for legionaries and army members because they take care that the empire is a better place.
Flavio applauded Admes’ speech "I didn’t know you were now a mother Tonantzin believer Admes, I also have to admit that you have a point of improvement in your ability to give speeches."
Admes smiled when he saw Flavio "Oh, Emperor Flavio welcome, but I notice you very differently from how you left, now you are more mature and you have the face of a warrior but I have to ask the goddesses they liked the gifts."
Flavio scratched his nose "They loved it, I have a present for you for your help, it was brought from the world of the gods."
Using his divine energy, Flavio appeared a bronze hammer. "This hammer belonged to Hephaestus and is the brother of the hammer he used to create the first woman.
I hope you can use it to improve the quality of life of the empire, but it will cost you, you’ll see Aphrodite likes native species but always wanted to have a relationship with a dwarf.
If you are willing to be an aphrodite companion, the hammer is yours. "
Admes started laughing "Hahaha, I guess it’s a double gift but how did you get it at the beginning.
Don’t tell me, I think you and Afrodita had an affair, don’t worry, Emperor, I’ll keep your dirty secret from the steel Empress Hellena, but if she finds out I hope to be in charge of building your coffin. "
Flavio looked at Admes with surprise. "Hey, because I’m a descendant god of Zeus does not mean that I cheat on my wife, it cannot be considered cheat if the two women agree but it is not because I’m a descendant of Zeus."
Admes stayed with his mouth open for a moment and accepted the hammer. "You convinced Steel Empress Hellena to perform a trio with Aphrodite.
I suppose the god of miracles will have a new achievement worthy of his level. "
Flavio scratched his head
Coughing falsely Flavio continued "What happens in the kingdom of the gods stays in the kingdom of the gods Admes, but here among us tries not to die when you meet Afrodite.
But let’s continue with what matters, I hope that these ships can survive in the open sea for a long time, we have a mission to go to northern Europe to recruit the Nordic gods.
To arrive, we will have to colonize some places to be able to have a supply of merchandise, so we need a lot of resistant ships, I don’t want any ice floe to sink the ships.
Admes changed his status of happiness for a serious aspect "I don’t like the idea of having to resort to the Nordic gods, you will see our ancestors were expelled from our home because of the goddess Skade.
We had to escape and take refuge with Zeus, who allowed us to inhabit Mount Olympus, otherwise, we would have died for humanity. "
"I understand their hatred that Admes has but there is a danger that looms over us and can cause all life to be extinguished, it is a being that is sealed and to stop it the heavenly deities sacrificed their life.
Unfortunately, his jail was stolen by a goddess belonging to the Shinto religion of the goddess Amaterasu, if we cannot join another pantheon to our nucleus we will not be able to escape and die.
Our most viable option is to ask for the help of the Nordic gods because they are the only ones who do not have a hatred against the descendants of Rome, the Celts are too proud to help us and the Persians hate the Romans.
We only have that option available, unless you manage to make the population reach more than 50 million in less than ten years to be able to maintain a war against China, where we can moderately resist their attacks and conquer Japan. "
Admes realized the seriousness of the situation "We can manufacture a ship with a capacity of 200 tons per week if 3 shifts are made but we need more workers.
Fortunately, we have an excess of sailors thanks to the great expedition we made but we need to think in the future how we can have more sailors, another point that we have to take into account that the cold will prevent us from moving far north.
Because the sea may have blocks of ice which can be dangerous for sailors, I suggest we send a ship to explore how bad the sea is in the north and if it is possible to conquer some islands in a viable way. "
Flavio thought what Admes said "For the workers, don’t worry, I’ll send refugees from the defense wall to the shipyard with their families, the Coatzacoalcos military base will have to become a city.
The training of the navy can wait until the rest of the Caribbean is conquered since in those islands the province of Canibalitum Máxima will be created that will not have legion but will be the home of the imperial navy.
I will send an expedition in charge of Captain Genaro. I don’t think there is anyone with more skill in controlling a ship than he does, we will have to wait to know if it is possible to conquer until Greenland or we have to wait for the cold to end ... "
