"The basic situation analysis of the destroyed floating fortress has been given to me. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The man whose name is hidden (now that Lu Wu has come to his senses, this person's name is completely meaningless even in the local language, it seems to be the pronunciation of some local dialect, or it is simply a perfunctory, untraceable pseudonym) said. "I've seen it, but this is only a preliminary analysis, and more detailed things will need to wait until I do the test in the field. That's fine, right?"

"No problem. Lu Wu felt that this was a decent requirement.

"Of course, and most importantly, my men and I are only workers, not fighters, and we can't and don't want to get involved in any complicated disputes. It's our job to repair the Floating Fortress as you ask us to. You pay, we do the work, and we don't do anything else. ”

"So I would like to make a point of making it clear that if there is any threat that threatens our security, our own safety will be our first priority. ”

"Of course, no problem. Lu Wu thought for a moment and immediately agreed.

It should be noted that although this floating fortress is far from the city of Gashe, it is very close to another border city. It is not located within the patrol range of the forces of Kechagoat, the Destroyer. This crashed floating fortress was completely under the control of the Huiyue camp, which is why he was able to make this request to Lu Wu.

In fact, most of the investigation into the cause of the crash was carried out on this fortress. So this floating fortress can be said to be the most thoroughly looted. Except for the fortress itself and something that really couldn't be moved, everything else was swept away. The Floating Fortress itself is largely intact (meaning that it was not further damaged after the crash) for two reasons. On the one hand, its own powertrain is still there, which means that if any idiot does anything, it will be a real disaster. In particular, the leakage of antimatter energy is enough to turn a vast area of land into a scorching hell. On the other hand, if you want to dismantle something from such a giant fortress, especially if you want to dismantle something useful under the complete dismantling, you definitely need some professional technology, personnel and equipment. Therefore, Lu Wu has reason to believe that when carrying out maintenance, the maintenance workers will not have any special threat. Of course, if Kaicha Goyat really suddenly launched a full-scale attack, Lu Wu could only say that he was unlucky. But there's really no way to blame these maintenance workers for this kind of thing.

"One last point," said Hide, who didn't seem to be speaking, but merely reciting a contract from a script, as his voice seemed mechanical. "I'm not idle and have nothing to do, so I'll send you a list of future repairs and repair or modify them according to your requirements. However, I will not allow the work to be stopped, and if you can't pay and let the work be suspended, then I'm sorry and I'll leave immediately. I will not return any money I received in the past, and I will not take care of the half-pulled project that I left behind. Of course, you can save up enough money and let me come over to continue the project, but everything has to start over. And I can't guarantee that I'll be available then, can I accept this condition?"

This was a very demanding request, and Lu Wu couldn't help but hesitate. Ivan explained to him that the cost of the repair was by no means a small amount. Although he knows that the mining area has been initially restored, the amount of ore mined will inevitably increase steadily in the future. And he can drag back the equipment that Aqi left on the battlefield (and some of the corpses and equipment of the Destroyer, which is also a high-value thing to buy in the rear) back and sell it for money...... But even so, he still didn't know the bottom of his heart. How to fill this bottomless pit is a big question.

This time he can still sell the big crab, next time, will he find a way to get something else from Kecha Goat? In addition, Lu Wu felt that this kind of harsh request was really not normal. At the beginning, it was understandable to ask for a huge sum of money as a "sincerity money" to buy some basic materials or something, after all, people want to mobilize the whole team to come to such a remote place, not to mention that this place is still close to the front line, which is quite dangerous. But this requirement ......

"What if you can't say yes?"

Yin seemed to be laughing, and seemed to just give the correct answer according to the script.

"Then I have to regret to announce that our deal fell through. I will give you the first money...... Oh yes, deducting some of the cost of our trip here, of course, but I promise it's a negligible amount. ”

The video communication is over.

Yin turned his head, still with a smile of pity on his face. He turned his head and looked at the man behind him. Lu Wu agreed. ”

Of course he would agree, and although it was difficult, it was a step that had to be taken. As long as the slightest ambition is concerned, they will step out...... Well, I admit I underestimated him. The man behind him sighed. "But I'm still a little curious, where did he get the money?"

"Did you miscalculate?" asked Yin.

"I was right, and the ore money he received from the public trade network did not add up enough to cover the amount...... Oh no, it's possible, and it would have been easier for him to scrape together the money if he had sold everything in the city. The man said. "It's a real problem...... It was my mistake. I didn't think he needed a particularly exaggerated price and he would give up. ”

"But isn't that a good thing for us?" said with a sneer. "If it continues to develop like this, the Evening Star Family can make a floating fortress for nothing without spending any effort. This is a floating fortress! Contribute all the strength and resources of our entire family now, I don't know if we can buy one. ”

"It's not as good as you think, the Flare family knows about it. ”

"Sunlight, how do they ...... Interested in this, but their family already has a governor!"

"But who told them that their forces are right next door to the Banshee Gate? There are several members of the Radiant Sun Family in the current garrison of the Banshee Gate. They succeeded, but the desire is endless, and with one more governor's position, the sun will never be too much. The man sighed. "I don't know how they knew about it...... Looks like someone leaked it?"

"Who cares about a floating fortress but us?"

"Hidden, don't say it so well. The matter of the Banshee Gate has not yet been decided, and no one can guarantee that the upper echelons of Huiyue will make up their minds to retake this area...... Maybe all the plans will come to naught in the end. But even then, we have to do everything we can......"

"Let the Evening Star family perish in this moment of balance. Maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's been a long time since there have been high-level warlocks in our family, and now even the middle-level warlocks are gone! ”

"Yes, and nothing else...... If the names of our people are lost in the noble lineage...... Do you think you have what it takes to learn the costly skills of building and repairing floating fortresses? Now you have a decent identity, an amazing skill, and an enviable income...... What do you think this is because of this? Because before our name, there was a surname called 'Evening Star'. If there is no such thing," his voice was already mixed with a sneer. "You're probably like the lowliest of your handymen, struggling to survive. A tiring night watch was exchanged for only ten Bailicas. All your identities...... Now all the conditions that make you arrogant and condescending do not exist. He gestured to his uniform. "Of course I'm the same, I'm only a small soldier, at most a squadron leader, a group leader and other worthless petty officers, I don't know when I'll die on the battlefield because of an irresponsible order from above. ”

He stepped forward and grabbed the other man's shoulder. "The family gave us this, and now we must defend it, perpetuate it, and even do anything to do so!"

"Let it go!"

"I know it's going to cost you a lot this time...... I've heard that you're just one step away from becoming the head of a foundry, but this departure has made all opportunities disappear. But there is no way around it. The head of the foundry is a very important position, which is enviable, but it will only make you alone in glory. The moment of equilibrium has arrived, and if you know anything about the situation of the family, you will understand that this time our family will not survive. After a minimum of twenty years, a maximum of forty years, the Evening Star family will disappear from the light of the Bright Moon. Unless...... We can get the Banshee's Gate!"

"As you just said, this may be just a bubble, a dream. We can't influence the Archon's decision, and if the Archon thinks the Banshee's Gate isn't worth the effort to regain it, then nothing is empty talk. ”

"Yes, but even if it's just a bubble, it's worth all the gamble!"

The two men looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.

"I see. So, the matter of the Flare family...... What's going on?"

"I don't know what's going on, it's supposed to be a secret, because the investigation of the Floating Fortress is what we did, and the repair of the Floating Fortress should be a secret, and no one will know about it except our family. None of the reports mentioned anything about it, and everything should be well hidden...... But the question is...... The Flare seem to know. They shouldn't know, and if they do, it's no secret. There should be a lot of people at the top who know about it, but they can't reach here. ”

"Maybe it was leaked by Lu Wu?"

"No way, because he knows very well what a floating fortress is...... Otherwise, how could he have taken such a big risk and was willing to use half an army to fight such a dangerous battle? Although he proved to be successful later, the risk was too great. Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. As long as he still has a little bit of sanity, he will do everything to hide the news. Not to mention that I've been carefully proofreading his correspondence records all this time...... lest he accidentally divulge the secret (he is a young man, after all). So I have reason to believe that the person who leaked this secret was not him...... Of course, it's too late to say that. ”

If Lu Wu was here to observe, he would definitely point it out...... First of all, he didn't pose much danger, and secondly, the Floating Fortress wasn't that important in his mind...... He simply accepted the suggestion. In fact, if it was really as Ivan said, the chance of success was only one in ten, then Lu Wu would have given up this opportunity a long time ago.

"Yes, the Flare family will not let go of such an opportunity. Yin said. "A floating fortress deserves their attention, and most importantly, it's truly an ownerless thing. We can't say who owns it...... In fact, whoever grabs it is whomever it is. Of course, the premise is to fix it, at least to ensure that it can fly. ”

"That's right, there's no good way to interrupt the Yao Sun family's coveting for the time being...... We can only take one step at a time. But fortunately, Lu Wu has agreed now, so at least we don't have to invest too much. But in any case, we have to focus on guarding in the future, the Flare family doesn't know how many resources they will invest, but even if they don't have the ambition to get the Banshee Gate now, it will be different after they get this floating fortress. ”
