"You don't know?" Ivan's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he didn't understand that this was something that should not be done. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Wu had to say that he didn't understand. Of course, his resume can explain this completely, he is a young man from a border town who has not seen much of the world, and it is natural that he does not understand. It must be noted that although everyone in this world knows about "crossing over" (for example, Kecha Goyat is from a foreign land), but to say that someone around you is from another world and the like, it is also a brain hole that normal people can't imagine.

After a short while, Ivan said goodbye and left, and Lu Wu sat here alone.

"It turns out that commanding the Floating Fortress is a specialized ability?" Lu Wu asked as he looked at the large pile of books that Ivan had left for him.

The list of books is outrageously long. The books that Ivan sent him were all data versions, so it didn't take much effort to store them in the terminal. But if you print it out one by one, it is estimated that it can be made into a bed for Lu Wu to sleep at the height of a pillow, and this bed is still the kind that Lu Wu can turn over on it very freely.

In fact, according to Ivan, commanding a floating fortress, that is, becoming a fortress commander, usually takes ten years to learn. Ten years...... Compulsory education in China is only nine years.

Not only that, but the command ability of the floating fortress, or rather, the relevant qualifications, is the key to a soldier's upward step. In the regular army, the normal promotion according to seniority and merit is up to the "colonel". This is usually the highest official. If you want to take the next step and become a "general", then you must be qualified in this area.

There is still a big difference between qualifications and qualifications. Of all the qualifications associated with Floating Fortresses, the most difficult is Stronghold Commander, which usually takes ten years to learn. The lowest is the chief maintenance officer - this position is not responsible for the usual maintenance, but for the adjustment of the power input - and can even be accelerated through a six-month training course.

This is the case with the regular army. As mentioned earlier, the local army is actually the private army of the governor, which does not have as many rules as the regular army, and in fact the local army does not even have a "military rank", only a position. But even so, the command of the floating fortress will never be entrusted to cats and dogs at will. The Governor would even bring in qualified military professionals from elsewhere to command his own floating fortress.

Not to mention the relevant subjects and tutorials of the Floating Fortress Commander, even the bunch of courses that the maintenance chief must take is enough to give people a headache.

To make matters worse, because Lu Wu was not educated in this world, it meant that if he really wanted to learn, he would need to supplement a lot of basic courses - almost the same as Amber had since she came to Earth.

However, Amber can learn from scratch, as she is a warlock after all and has a constant flow of magic. In addition to that, she has plenty of time. But Lu Wu does not have this condition at all. Not to mention the old-fashioned magic ring, even the one that came later has now consumed most of its mana.

"Ha, it's the first time I've heard of it. The master's reaction was full of interest. "So many courses...... Tsk, this floating fortress is probably the highest crystallization of this world's scientific and technological civilization. ”

"It's not just technology, it's magic. Lu Wu reminded. "All Floating Fortresses have measures against Warlock invasions. ”

"That's right, a hybrid of technology and magic......"

"Forget it, don't talk about this...... Now our question is what to do?" Lu Wu said. "We need to get a commander over too?"

"Partner, what do you think of yourself? The master asked rhetorically.

"I think...... It's kind of ...... It's not very natural. Lu Wu had to express his opinion. Think about it, it's a little weird that you have to stay on the side of your own floating fortress and have to hand over the command to someone else. But on the flip side, at least Ivan said, this kind of thing is the norm. For example, the Governors were not necessarily qualified to command Floating Fortresses, so their Floating Fortresses, even if they were their own vehicles, had their own palaces. This palace is not the headquarters of the Floating Fortress. This completely separated the governor himself from the command of the fortress.

Lu Wu had reason to believe that Ivan was not lying—this lie was too easy to debunk, and what good was it to tell the truth? Moreover, this matter logically made sense. It's like a ship on Earth, a big plane, etc., the captain must be carefully selected, have enough experience, education, or at least have proven himself in the past to be a good person. Is it possible to appoint a cat or a dog as the captain of the ship? Of course, but at the cost of the fact that the warship is likely to not be able to fully utilize its combat effectiveness in battle.

In contrast, Floating Fortresses are fewer in number and more expensive, which is easy to understand. Everyone will hope that their precious Floating Fortress can exert 120% of its combat power, and they will never want to see the possibility of unqualified or even loss of the Floating Fortress because of a daredevil's commander.

"That's true," said the master, who must have been reading the books as he spoke. Anyway, it is a spiritual life, and reading these electronic signals or something is a good thing, no different from a human reading a paper book. "It's very different from the views of the earthlings. And I found something interesting, something very interesting...... According to the book, whether it is the Bright Moon or the Dark Moon, they are actually common in this regard. In other words, if you are qualified as a fortress commander on the side of the Radiant Moon, then if one day, you surrender or defect to the Stygian camp, your qualifications will also be recognized. Also qualified to command a Floating Fortress. ”

"What then?" Lu Wu asked. He only now understands that a floating fortress is not so simple.

"You think too much, partner, the problem is ......," said the master. "Do we really need the Floating Fortress to be 100% effective?"

"Ah......h

"We don't really have to work for Huiyue," the master said. "So let's just go a little bit of self-study...... To be honest, I'm interested in these. By the way, partner, someone contacted you, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the little warlock. ”

"Amber?" Lu Wu immediately put aside other things and hurriedly opened the terminal contact section. This time, the master's reminder was so timely that he didn't even have time to sound the prompt. The person who contacted Lu Wu was really amber.

"Amber, how's it going?"

"That's half the battle. Although it was across the terminal, there was a hint of exhaustion in Amber's voice. "Where are you?"

"I'm at the headquarters here in Gashe. Lu Wu replied. I really didn't expect that Ranger to make such a big move. At first, he planned to hide in the city of Gasha, but Amber immediately reminded him that it didn't make sense. If a warlock, especially one with the ability to stealth, wants to kill you, then what's the difference between hiding in the city and hiding in a small town? On the contrary, if there is a wide range of magical effects on the side of Gasher, it will be difficult to hide. At the moment, although the Huiyue camp seems to be waiting, it is actually very vigilant, and will definitely not turn a blind eye to such a sensitive matter. And once the matter is leaked and the relevant investigators come over, Amber's identity is likely to be exposed.

A warlock is able to identify another warlock, and magical remnants are the best evidence. If an investigator stays on the side of Gasher, Amber can't cast spells, or she'll be discovered.

"Can I come here?" Amber asked.

"Absolutely. Lu Wu said immediately.

Amber closes the call. Lu Wu turned his head to look at the payment slip thrown out by the projection device, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, no matter what the world, is the key factor still in money?" he whispered to himself. According to Ivan, on the one hand, this money is used to buy some parts that will inevitably be replaced, and on the other hand, it is also an "advance payment", "sincerity money" and the like. In two or three days, there will be relevant personnel to talk to him about the problem in detail. For example, how much effort should be invested, how much time should be given, where to start repairs, and whether to modify them at the same time.

"Partner, someone has contacted you again," the master reminded again.

"Who is it?" Lu Wu asked.

"It's supposed to be a stranger. As soon as the master's voice fell, the terminal sounded a prompt tone asking for communication. This time it was a video call, Lu Wu chained the terminal into the projection equipment on the side, and immediately, an unfamiliar face appeared on the three-dimensional projection.

It was a strange, middle-aged man with a slender build, who, like most of the inhabitants of this world, looked very much like a mixed race of Chinese and Western people on Earth. He has a red scar on his left eye, which looks like a scar from a fire burn. It was a rather eye-catching mark, so Lu Wu was sure at first glance that it was indeed a stranger, as he had never had any impression of the scar.

But, for some reason, this face looks a little familiar.

"Are you Lu Wu, the leader of the sixteenth legion of the Banshee Gate...... New?" The middle-aged man had a slight uninhibited smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a faint sympathy, or pity, between his eyebrows.

"It's me. The undisguised sympathy on the other party's face made Lu Wu feel a little abnormal, but he could only temporarily put it in his heart at the moment. "So, who are?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hidden. The stranger said. "I used to be a level 12 repairman at the XXX Foundry (he said a proper noun that Lu Wu couldn't remember), specializing in the maintenance of floating fortresses. I was introduced to this work...... I heard you're planning to repair a crashed floating fortress?"

"That's true. Only then did Lu Wu realize that this should be the maintenance person who had been introduced. It seems that the reaction over there is really fast, Ivan should have just transferred the money, right? "I have a floating fortress that needs to be repaired," he thought for a moment. "Needs a major overhaul. ”
