Chapter 1529: Dream Broken in Qiming (8)
Bediwell, who was dragged all the way by King Arthur, couldn't keep up with his footsteps and staggered when he walked. He wanted to complain in his heart, but seeing that King Arthur was so excited and didn't want to sweep away the King of Great Britain's Yaxing, he endured it and didn't say it.
He followed King Arthur all the way to the deck of the Palamides, and when he saw that the deck was empty, he finally couldn't help but speak: "So there's nothing here...... "
"Guess again. The Knight King smiled mysteriously, walked to the edge of the deck, and stretched out his hand.
That's right, next to [the battleship of Great Britain - Attack Palamides] is a ship that is slightly twice the size. Bediwell, of course, remembered the ship's special shape, as he had a lot of bad ties with it. But he was still amazed when he saw the ship, not only because the distinctive hull had been repainted with silver paint, but also because the ship had been re-excavated and refurbished in such a short time by the Britons.
"Huh. You're moving so fast. Bediwell couldn't help but admire: "I blew up the Desert Ship yesterday morning, and it took a day to dig it up and repair it to this point?"
And I also thoughtfully dismantled the aerogel bed in the shipyard lounge and sent it to the hotel room in Bediville. The werewolf youth added in his heart. It's okay to be efficient.
"Of course. King Arthur smiled and said, "I said I would reward you well, Bedi, so I ordered this to be repaired quickly and brought you a reward." "
"Uh, wait—" Bediwell snorted, "and by reward, you mean this?"
The Knight King nodded: "Yes, this is it. "
"That part?"
"The whole section. Arthur smiled: "Bediwell, from today onwards, this ship belongs to you." "
"Oh-" The werewolf couldn't help but hold his head in his hands, feeling a little dizzy, "This ...... It's kind of crazy...... "
"I don't think so at all. The Knight King said, "What did the ship's AI call you in the first place?" [Acting Captain Beddivi]? "
"But—"
"Of course, we've removed a lot of things from the ship, some of the ancient human technology that has not yet been understood, some of the equipment that could pose a potential threat, we have dismantled. Arthur said, "But we've left you with a fully functional sand boat, and I hope you'll like it." "
"No...... All of this is crazy...... Bediwell was still in chaos: "I never thought I would have a warship of my own...... And even if you have it, it's very troublesome, and the cost of maintenance alone is a sky-high expense, right? What about the cost of fuel? What about the cost of hiring a crew? I'm just a poor man, how can I get so much money to feed this ship?!"
"You don't have to worry about that. The Knight King smiled and said, "So far, we have ascertained that there are two sources of energy for the Desert Ship. One is the dangerous fusion furnace, which can power the ship for at least 200 centuries just by burning its own nuclear fuel, and then the ship also has a backup solar power system, which is also very efficient in energy collection and storage, and only needs to bask in the sun for an hour to keep the ship sailing for half a month. "
"Okay, but—"
"Then, you don't have to worry about crew management at all. We've got the automatic navigation system for the sand boat for you. The rebuilt navigation system may not have been as clever and resourceful as Eve, but it should have no problem maintaining the Desert Ship's long autonomous voyage. Moreover, the navigation system controls the scarab golems in the ship, so as long as the hull is not too badly damaged, the golems can easily repair the ship. "
Arthur blinked: "Bedi, don't worry about owning this ship." Even the former Desert Ship has been sailing in the Sahara Desert for thousands of years in its unmanned state. And it's definitely not going to stop working like that. It's a ship of freedom, and it's yours, Captain Bedwell. "
The werewolf youth also blinked, not knowing what to say. Perhaps because of the excitement of the handsome-sounding title of Captain, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.
"Of course, it's not good to keep it in the condition of a ghost ship all the time. You'd better find some crew for yourself. King Arthur said, "Preferably, those who want to be loyal to you at all costs." "
"Impossible, impossible. Bediwell smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "How can someone like me be willing to be loyal at any cost." "
Arthur stopped talking, just smiled mysteriously. Bediwell couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment.
"Ahem. The werewolf set his eyes on the sand boat, which had been repainted silver. Although the hull of the ship has not been completely repaired and painted, and some parts have been blackened by yesterday's explosion, the ship itself does not look particularly problematic, and it is still quite handsome with silver.
"I love the color. Bedivel then said.
"Exactly. Arthur walked over to a small transport boat that flew from the side, waved his hand, and motioned for Bediwell to come over as well: "Gold is too ostentatious to suit this submarine-capable ship." This silver paint is the latest product developed by Great Britain, don't look at it as a swaggering silver now, when the circuit is turned on, and the hull of the ship is connected with electricity, it will begin to refract light and radio waves, playing a tactical stealth effect. "
"Okay. Bediwell climbed into the transport boat and replied perfunctorily, "What a high-tech feeling." "
He knew that King Arthur was generous to his friends and that he rewarded and punished him well. Bedeville followed Arthur to another world nine hundred years later last night, and the reward he received was extremely fruitful - who knows what cutting-edge black technology from Great Britain was also carried in this modified sand ship?
"But there's one more problem. As the transports approached the Desert Ship, King Arthur continued, "The Desert Ship is not currently equipped with any weapons. It was not armed in the first place, and we are still in Egypt, and it would be an awkward international situation for us to load weapons on a ship that has not been registered on the record. When the tournament is over, you can sail your ship to Great Britain and make an official login, at which point we will equip your ship with combat weapons at your disposal. "
"It's looking good now. Bediwell said, "This is a supply ship, not a weapon of war, Arthur." "
"Indeed. The Knight King smiled. By the time the transports had reached the deck of the Desert Ship, Arthur jumped off the transports: "I have something to show you, come with me." "
Bedwell shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the British staff on deck who were still busy repairing the sand boats, and felt embarrassed.
Bediwell thought that Arthur would lead him to the bridge of the sand ship, but Arthur walked through the inside of the ship in a completely different direction than the bridge. When the Knight King stopped in front of a room, Bedivel noticed that it was one of the ship's mechanical warehouses.
"Huh?" Bediwell had just pushed open the door of the warehouse, and was immediately irritated by the strong smell of chemicals, and he couldn't wait to cover his nose: "My meow...... What's going on here?!"
"Ahem, ahem...... Failed again...... "Someone came out of the green smoke of the warehouse with a big grin. When Bediwell saw the figure of the man clearly, he realized that it was the great mage Logan.
"Rogan, what are you doing here?!" the werewolf youth complained even more violently, "Do you want to make a poison gas attack on the ship and poison us all to death?"
"Ahem, no, no, no, it's just a little experiment. Old man Logan waved his hands to dispel the harsh chemical fumes in front of him, "And I assure you, these fumes are harmless to humans - at least not directly harmful." "
Arthur snickered on the sidelines, already hiding out of the area of influence of the poisonous mist.
"Whew. A bruise appeared on Bediwell's forehead: "Can you explain? Why did you show up in my ship and put poison in such a place?"
"Well," Logan said shamelessly, "Is it so impermissible for a master to borrow an apprentice's boat to do an experiment?"
"Oh, great, you're playing this with me. Thicker, larger veins appeared on Bediwell's forehead.
"Hey, hey, I heard you've got a new ship, and it's empty. Logan smiled at his stupid apprentice: "It's empty anyway, it's empty, just vacate some places for me to use, don't be so stingy." "
Bediwell gave Logan a blank look: "I really thought about this before you put poison in my ship. But now...... "
"You talk slowly, I've left beforehand. Arthur, on his side, was already in a hurry to flash people.
"Arthur—" Before Bediwell could stop him, the Knight King had already fled, leaving Bediwell alone to deal with the troublesome fellow Logan.
"An anomaly in the gas mix inside the ship was detected, and the exhaust system was initialized. Eve's voice rang out in the hallway, and the sound of an exhaust fan turning was echoed in the machine warehouse. With the sizzle of exhaust fans and the whirring of ventilation ducts, the pungent and poisonous pale green smoke from the warehouse was quickly pumped away, and the room was returned to its rightful cleanness in half a minute.
