In the port of Manila, the Silence is quietly moored in a corner of the harbor, many reporters point to the Silence, take pictures and videos, this ship has recently been a star in the Philippines, many people know about the existence of this ship, but also very curious about its auction process.

For those who took pictures and videos below, the people on the boat didn't care, but when a drone staggered up and filmed the ship in the sky, Cheng Ning raised the gun in his hand, and with a snap, the drone was torn apart in the air.

"The fifth. Putting down the gun, Cheng Ning grinned.

It's okay to be curious, but if you're too curious, you'll kill the cat.

Who knows which drone was sent by the Killing Underworld?

After letting the Killer escape yesterday, when Nan Ming and the others tried to track it down, the Killer and his party had disappeared without a trace, she had a large team, and she had the authority to be close to her, so she could encourage many people to help them cover their whereabouts, which was not surprising.

But Nan Ming and Yang Ji have already seen her face, and the two sides have already been in contact, and it is impossible to remain mysterious as before.

Besides, Nanming still has a killer weapon to deal with them.

It must take a lot of money to maintain such a team.

Yang Ji stood on the bow of the ship with a blind cane in both hands, and glanced at Cheng Ning with slanted eyes, everyone on the boat, except for Cheng Ning, was frightened by the staff of fear, and obeyed Yang Ji's orders, only Cheng Ning was an exception.

Yang Ji played with the blind cane in his hand, glanced at Cheng Ning up and down, and had the urge to terrify Cheng Ning.

As if sensing Yang Ji's ill intentions, Cheng Ning held the gun and slipped away.

Yang Ji raised his head, looked at the huge naval gun, and sighed regretfully.

If you want to drive the Silence back, you can't just have legal procedures, and you have to remove all the weapons on it. Take these four naval guns, for example. At this time, it had almost been dismantled, and the barrel of the last gun, under the pull of the huge crane, slowly rose into the air, leaving an ugly hole.

Several 3D printing machines began to work along the left holes, which were quickly filled in entirely. Except for the different colors of the metal, it seems that this is the way it should be.

A few mercenaries on the Silence stared at the miraculous 3D printing equipment, stammering and surprised, this is the power of modern technology?

After repairing the holes left by these naval guns, several 3D printers were left in their original positions, and no one moved them.

Few people know that in fact, these 3D printers are electromagnetic cannons that are more powerful than the original naval guns. Compared to the electromagnetic cannon on the US ship Jupiter. Jupiter can shoot a 10-kilogram cannonball, while these 3D printers can shoot arbitrarily shaped metal bodies the size of ping-pong balls, which are more like electromagnetic guns than they are.

The ship still retains the Silence's name, but the whole thing is starting to be repainted, and several wall-climbing robots nimbly go up and down, dragging their spray guns back and forth. Lines of different colors are sprayed, and the air is filled with the smell of spray paint.

These little things are prototypes designed by the Lazy God Department itself. It was made by Feng Tianyou, and it was intended to be used in the shipyard, but it has not yet entered the large-scale production process, and the only few units have been requisitioned by Nanming and airlifted to the Philippines to serve the Silence first.

If there are no surprises. The Silence will also be the first customer of the shipyard.

Among all the winter vacation business plans, Feng Tianyou's shipyard is undoubtedly the most successful, and Lazy God Investment also participates in it, and Feng Tianyou, who has a bulging pocket, is starting to buy back the dock of the previous shipyard, which is in disrepair. But it can still accommodate a 6,000-ton ship, and with some simple modifications, it's not a big problem.

Feng Tianyou is particularly ambitious, his idea is to build a large floating dock, as the main dock of the shipyard, when the time comes, combined with the 3D printing technology of Lazy God Technology, the floating dock will become a huge marine shipbuilding matrix, a steady stream of all kinds of machines.

Of course, it's too early to think about that.

The Silence is so big that the painting has to be done gradually and in batches, so the current Silence looks colorful and a little ugly.

However, the shell of the Silence is secondary, and the most important thing is its power - the thrusters.

When Nanming walked into the auxiliary engine room, which was now home to the fusion device, he saw Barton standing by the wall, the tip of his nose against the wall, his eyes staring straight at the wall.

"What are you doing?" Nan Ming looked at Barton suspiciously.

"Boss!" Seeing Nanming, Barton hurriedly saluted, then scratched his head and said, "I'm relaxing......"

What kind of relaxation method is this?

"Oh, it was Master Chen Haocong who said to me, this is the magical oriental relaxation method, which can relieve my migraines......" Barton rubbed the side of his head, his head had been injured in the explosion, leaving the after-effects of migraines.

As soon as Nan Ming heard it, he knew that Chen Haocong was playing Patton.

Patton, I don't know if it's because of his head injury, what others say he believes, the last time the turkey lied to Barton that the machine designed by Nanming was actually a huge bomb, it scared Barton a lot.

When he was on the boat, Chen Haocong and his few bear children liked to play tricks on Barton, tricking Barton into doing a handstand to cure stomach problems, sticking to the wall to relieve headaches, etc., once Chen Haocong also planned to trick Barton into eating mice, but Barton was just gullible, not a fool, and was not fooled.

"How's it going?" asked Barton.

"It's a little bit better. Barton scratched his head and said.

"Oh, next time you try to half-crouch against the wall and let the tip of your nose touch the wall, it will have a better relief. ”

"Really?" Barton's eyes widened.

"Of course, there's a scientific basis for this, you know that we Chinese use chi, half-squats will make the qi flow in your body more smoothly, and the nose is the high point of the face, and the qi is also like an electric charge, which will gather at the tip, allowing the qi to circulate through your brain, take away your pain, transfer it to the wall......"

Nanming watched Patton happily half-squat, with the tip of his nose against the wall, looking like he was pouting his ass and waiting for someone to kick him, and suddenly felt that he was too much, is it really good to deceive an honest person like this?

"Ahem, it's best to do this at midnight. Because at that time, the qi in the human body was the purest. "Nan Ming Dao, anyway, out of sight and out of mind.

"Thank you, boss! God bless you!" Barton grinned, "I seem to feel my headache go away......"

Nan Ming opened his mouth and stammered, this is the power of mental suggestion?

Barton memorized the teachings of the South and confidently planned to try it in the evening, thinking that he might have a good night's sleep in more than a decade. The turkey covered his mouth and snickered beside him, he was so smart that he could tell that Nan Ming was making fun of Nam Baton.

"Patton, what is your education?" Nan Ming changed the subject, getting down to business.

"Boss, I studied ship power, but I dropped out of school and became a mercenary...... Barton said.

Nanming used to be very curious, but in fact, he didn't earn much as a mercenary. If you put it into account, it's not even as good as lazy security, so why do these people still come to be mercenaries?

For example, a small half of the people on this ship are Americans, and if they do anything in the United States, their income will not be lower than that of being a mercenary.

For example, Barton, Nanming has seen him work, perhaps he has dropped out of school, and his theoretical knowledge has stagnated. But he did a very good job, and it was really a true knowledge that came out of practice. Such a person, who can be a chief engineer on a merchant ship, can also have a monthly salary of at least tens of thousands of dollars, and on the Silence, he only receives a meager allowance in addition to his salary.

Hearing Nan Ming ask him why he didn't continue his studies in the first place, the man in his forties touched his red nose. With a wry smile: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to stay in China, but because we can't stay ......"

Many of the people on board the Silence had been soldiers before, and had various records of service and battle. Many of them, because of battlefield stress disorder, can no longer adapt to ordinary life, violence, paranoia, impulsiveness, and are not happy in daily life, so they choose to return to such a life.

There is also a small group that takes a fancy to the high-risk and high-income of mercenaries, although the income is not high when they are on the ship, but once they go on a mission, they usually have a large income, which is higher than the dead salary for several years.

As for Barton, because of his criminal record, Barton was very impulsive when he was young and once seriously injured people, which basically ruined his future.

No one wants to hand over their engine to a man with a history of violent crime.

After two years in prison, Patton was sought out by the Colonel, who at first helped the Colonel with some personal work, and later became a full-time chief engineer.

Nanming chatted with Barton for a few words, basically mastered Patton's theoretical knowledge, and then asked Barton to help him introduce the situation of the Silence.

The Silence has two thrusters that generate thrust, which are propelled by gas turbines, and it is also a big project to convert it to all-electric propulsion.

Barton took Nanming around the cabin for a while, and Nanming couldn't stand it anymore, the strong smell of engine oil and the oil stains everywhere made Nanming frown frequently.

And seeing the huge transmission device and the space occupied by the two main engines, Nanming felt even more heartbroken.

The Silence is Nanming's first ship, and it is also his biggest toy so far, bigger than the shield machine underground, and boys are always very attentive to their toys, regardless of the cost, and so is Nanming.

Don't think about it, you have to point skill points.

Nanming asked a few mercenaries to bring a bunch of books, handed them to Barton, and said, "You can take a look at these books, which ones you can understand and which ones you can't." ”

These are all books on the dynamics of propagation that Nanming has collected, which are used to measure Barton's level of knowledge.

In advance, Nan Ming asked experts to help him classify these books according to their difficulty and cutting-edge level.

Later, in fact, it is not classified by difficulty, but more like classified by branches.

Although all-electric propulsion is the latest trend, it does not mean that other technologies are not golden.

For example, the steam engine, many people's impression of the steam engine is that of Watt's steam engine, and the coal-burning locomotive, which rushes forward with black smoke and clangs.

However, in fact, even with the development of human technology, the steam engine is still the most important tool for human heat conversion, not even one of them.

Almost all of humanity's large-scale power plants are doing one thing -- boiling water.

Thermal power plants, which use coal and oil to boil water, nuclear power plants, nuclear energy, and mirror-reflective solar power plants, which use mirrors to reflect sunlight to boil water......

Going back further, fire was the first chemical energy that humans mastered, and yet until now, humans have been using fire.

It's just that its utilization efficiency is no longer the same, and I don't know how many times it has improved.

For example, in modern thermal power plants, the temperature of water vapor can reach 600 degrees Celsius after boiling water, which is completely different from boiling water for steamed buns.

There is such a discipline called fractal, which probably means that many things in this world, if they are infinitely enlarged, will have their self-similarity, such as a big tree, a tree is a trunk plus branches, and if a branch is enlarged to the size of a tree, it is also a trunk plus branches, and so on, theoretically there is no limit.

The same is true of the development of science, which is made up of countless branches of science and technology.

Ship power can be divided into various disciplines such as fluid mechanics, electricity, and machinery, each of which can be divided indefinitely, and each discipline is intersecting and related to other disciplines.

In the game, technology can be developed by clicking on a skill tree, but in fact, the real situation is that technology is a net, and any discipline can be used as the foundation and core, expanding in all directions, deducing from one formula to another, and extending to another discipline.

What Nanming is asking Barton to do now is to detect where Barton is on this net, and in order to get Barton to the node of "all-electric push", he needs to point his skill points on which node.

When Barton chose the books he could just read, as well as some books that he couldn't read at all, Nan Ming couldn't help but be speechless.

There are more than twenty of these books, and if each book is strengthened, Nanming will not want to do anything else.

Wait, Nanming suddenly thought, maybe there is some shortcut?

He said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you scan all the books, store them in your chip, and then burn a disc out." ”

Nan Ming remembered that he had strengthened a book on supercomputing, and the CD in it was also enhanced.

Xiaobai did as he was told, and after burning the disc, Nanming used the enhancement skill.

This is the first time that Nanming has used his authority in front of Barton and others, he closed his eyes, and his right hand touched the disc, strengthening his ability and activating!

For the first time, the disc faintly emitted a misty light, and it seemed to immediately become extraordinary.

However, the effect of one strengthening is not obvious.

Nan Ming concentrated again, the lazy authority in his body boiled, and a ray of light flowed out, straight at the disc. (To be continued.) )
