Section 31: The New Look of Akihabara (1)
The return of the armored cruiser United Forces, along with the guild leaders of the Round Table Council, Yuba Akiwa and Michitaka, came to Akihabara with the envoy group from the front of the park and the envoy group from the Liegu shooting.
The arrival of Wenwen, Fork Bag, and Anxin Yuan Taming and Dyeing caused a huge shock.
The Round Table Council, which had already received the notice, did not slack off, and after learning that the 'Suiyang Zhura' who had recently gone to the Akiwa Prefecture had come to greet the two envoys authorized by the Akiwa Yuba and Michitaka with a high-level ceremony, they also held a corresponding reception with courtesy, and the representatives of the high-ranking members of the Parliament and the representatives of the people of the earth and the nobles gathered together, and the entire Akihabara was full of flowers and drums.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival is in the middle of the day, Xiye and Daolong are naturally not among them.
It's not because the status is not high enough.
It's that both of them know what a boring pit it is, and Akiwa Yuba and Daolong, who had only experienced the whole process in Liegu Shooting not long ago, didn't want to do it again so soon.
The deep-sea shipbuilding plant in Tokyo Bay, like the cities of this world, was isolated from the attacks of subhumans and monsters, and through the rapid development of the three major production guilds, the U2 project, and the need for capacity expansion, the thick and continuous walls of the shipyard area were finally built and extended, and the entire shipyard area was transformed into a satellite city independent of the outer perimeter of Akihabara.
Two carriages bearing the emblem of the Council of the Round Table approached one after the other.
The earthmen on duty on the watchtower saw the arrival of the carriage from a distance and pulled the rope next to it, and the bell at one end of the city gate below "rattled", and the earthland people guard team stationed at the gate moved from the benches one after another, and moved the horses placed in the hole in the city gate to open a passage for the carriage to enter.
Look at the emblem of the Council of the Round Table on the carriage.
These people from various villages are in mixed feelings, and many relatives and friends died in the mouths of goblins during the recent periodic event of the return of the goblin king.
Their village is not comparable to the city of the earthlings and noble lords with stone walls.
Even the defense forces are only young and strong with rudimentary weapons, the shortage of materials cannot even arm everyone, and the hands of women and children are the agricultural tools of daily work.
Such a weak force.
In front of the army of goblins, it is simply better than nothing.
It was the adventurer of this emblem who rescued them from their desperate situation, and it was the same adventurer of this emblem who 'forced' them to leave their homes and start over.
Of course, this little emotion is insignificant under the guarantee of safety.
Besides, there is nothing to be remembered about the homeland that is almost 'nothing' and 'not guaranteed overnight'.
At the same time, under the arrangement of Autumn Court Yuba, there is no less news that the village that so-and-so is unwilling to move according to the Round Table Council has been slaughtered by the goblins, and those survivors are also the best 'propaganda materials', so that some of the earthlings who have been forcibly relocated here feel happy.
The carriage crossed the main road that ran through the city to the second gate.
This is the real area of the shipyard, and the carriage of Akiniwa Rika and Dotaka just passed through the outer city of the "reclamation (cultivation and supply of fresh lettuce) settlement", and the same nature is the "railway storage settlement", "port storage settlement", and "merchant market settlement" and other urban areas attached to the shipyard.
This time, the gatepost was the adventurer, but not only that, but not only were the other guild members of the Round Table Council closed to the area of the shipyard, but even members of the Garan Garden, the Sea Agency, Shopping Street 8, and the Lodrich Chamber of Commerce who had nothing to do with the district were also forbidden to enter the factory.
If you still want to go your own way?
I'm so sorry... You are 100% a spy, please cooperate with our investigation.
Face the guards who came forward to check.
Yuba Akiwa got out of the car with Daolong and his entourage, and took out a small wooden sign to check on each other.
This is an identity ID card created by using the characteristics of the Secret Treasure Item to bind the equipment owner.
After all, the appearance of this battleship is too shocking, not to mention the adventurers on the Osaka side, but also the earthland people and noble lords of the Free City Alliance Ishar who are also digging out their hearts to learn the mystery of this steel battleship beyond knowledge.
In a hidden corner of the dungeon, there are a lot of earth-people spies imprisoned, which also provides a lot of 'free' labor for the Stony Creek Iron Mine under construction.
After all, it is an undeveloped tropical area, and even if it is prevented, there are still many unlucky people who have contracted malaria, and there is no Jinchona yet.
Put on a safety risk to enter the factory.
After Qiuting Yuba and Dao Long stepped into it, there was a towering battleship in front of them.
Approaching the berth, the roar of a steam engine could be heard in the distance, which was pumping the seawater in the dock.
A group of adventurers dressed as engineers were walking up and down the deck of the USS United Forces, scribbling down something in their notebooks from time to time.
Akiwa Yuba's gaze focused on below the waterline, looking at the bottom of the boat that was gradually revealing under the red-painted waterline as the water level receded.
Even if the new ship has not been in service for a long time, it is still attached to a layer of marine adsorptive organisms such as barnacles, kelp, and shells, which will not only increase weight, reduce speed, and even accelerate the corrosion of metal surfaces if left unchecked.
Facing the 'dirty' bottom of the boat.
The girl's tone didn't have much confidence in her tone, and she said, "I hope the keel is okay." ”
After hearing this, Daolong replied disapprerovingly: "There is no need to be so pessimistic, after all, the keel of the ship is made of high-grade metal materials, and there is no problem with bad sea conditions once or twice." ”
"Huh? With the half-baked design drawings and the adventurers who are learning to build ships, I think it's a miracle when it comes to the U2 project! ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you underestimating the power of our production guild? ”
The two of them chatted casually and walked along the dock, since the armored cruiser USS United Force was the focus of care, so the engineer adventurers and the earthlings hired to do some unskilled work at the dock were constantly busy.
The convenience of the daffodils has greatly improved the status of summoners.
Have the summoned elemental spirits (daffodils) use high-pressure water blades to scrape the adsorbed creatures at the bottom of the ship.
In the scoured area, a group of earthlings pushed ash hopper trucks and shovels to clean up the garbage on the ground.
The detailed inspection is carried out by a professional (in the process of learning and exploring).
In another dry dock not far away, the Flying of the Test Zero ship was also in the canal waiting for maintenance, but compared to the United Forces, it seemed deserted here, and it was obvious that the capable personnel had been transferred to the other side.
"Anyway, what will happen to the next arranged visits?" Autumn Evening Leaves stretched out his hand and pointed to the gadgets with most experimental ingredients in his eyes and said to Daolong, "Let them see this?" Or will the keel processing work be suspended first? Do some processes with no technical content for them to see? ”
In response to the girl's proposal, Daolong nodded in agreement, and held his chin in a pensive whisper.
Because the distance is not far, the other party did not deliberately overwhelm the voice.
Therefore, Akiwa Yuba can clearly hear what the other party is saying, such as: "Hmm... The ribs of the ship are not good, the hull? If this doesn't work, there's nothing to look at, and the freighter currently under construction is just laying the keel and iron ribs, what the hell do you have to do...".
"Why don't we go and ask Loderick for advice, after all, his team is responsible for tackling the most difficult problems in the construction process of the U2 project, and then ask the technicians to write a report as the basis for arranging the tour process, and see if there are any steps that look lofty but have little technical content."
"Ah, that's the only way."
Just here, the two of them were discussing how to arrange for the reception of guests.
The main thoroughfare of Akihabara is crowded with adventurers watching the excitement at the moment, and the city's public address system is also playing a symphony performed live by the organized Earth Man Orchestra, which can make the BGM echo in your ears no matter where you are.
The eyes of the Anxin Temple taming dyeing and Wenwen, methanol mixed with water, fork buns, lo-mei A, and the entourage of the deputy members.
It's like a novel journey.
Under the personal reception of Cheng Hui, the consul of the Round Table Council, and the sound of 19 salutes, the prelude to the friendly visit of the 'Shuiyang Zhuluo' was officially opened.
