Raymond led the "Ghost Pirates" to express a sincere welcome to Colin's fiancée, Miss Nicole, and held a very warm welcome banquet on the "Golden Ghost".

The sea king caught during the day was made into a big table of delicious food by the fat cat, charcoal-grilled large pieces of meat, fish bone stewed soup, fried baked fish mouth, secret oyster noodles... Plates of dishes are full of color and aroma, and the rich aroma wafts through every corner of the ship, making people salivate.

The dinner was held in a warm atmosphere.

Even Nicole, a high-ranking aristocratic lady who is accustomed to eating the delicacies of the mountains, is full of praise for the fat cat's craftsmanship after tasting the taste of the dishes again.

really responded to what Colin said, if you really eat the dishes made by the fat cat, you will really remember it forever.

Nicole thought that with such a large table of dishes, the five of them, one bear, and one monkey couldn't finish it, and it would be a bit extravagant and wasteful.

But she never thought that her worries were superfluous.

The higher the physical transcendent rank, the greater the daily food demand. There are now three big appetite kings on the ship, Raymond, Fat Cat and Gigi, and such a big sea king can't really eat for a few days.

The sea king banquet that welcomed Nicole finally turned into a banquet where a person, a bear, and a monkey ate and drank.

The three of them swept away a table of dishes in an ugly manner, and slumped on their chairs with their round stomachs.

The atmosphere of the dinner was warm and harmonious, and everyone expressed a warm welcome to Nicole, a lovely scientist, to join the "Ghost Troupe".

......

The haughty Mr. Dunlop had been hung on the mast at the stern of the ship for most of the day, already hungry, and the nobleman with fine skin and tender flesh had been stripped naked in the sun, and he was dizzy from dehydration and hunger.

As night fell, the icy sea breeze cleared him up, but he listened to the movement of the banquet on the ship. The mouth-watering aroma of meat snorted into his nose from time to time, making his stomach growl. Both the soul and the body are tormented.

But when he heard that his niece had joined this group of pirates whose crew was all monsters, he also had the last glimmer of hope for survival in his heart.

He knew very well that Nicole was a kind girl, and she would never bear to let her own uncle be tortured to death in such a cruel way.

Therefore, this sad eldest brother who "robbed but was killed" wailed, shouting that he wanted to eat something good before he died.

Indifferently, he thought that if he could arouse the pity of his niece Nicole, he might be able to survive.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated... You have no right to mistreat a high nobleman..."

"I have the right to ask to go to the gallows when I am full..."

"Nicole, I beg you, come and help your uncle end this tragic life..."

“...”

This Mr. Dunlop wailed, and the more he played, the more he shouted, the more he looked like a "chaste martyr" who had suffered a great grievance.

Finally, he stopped after being gagged by a handful of stinky socks from the fat cat.

But

He made a fuss, and many things were logical.

Colin also took the opportunity to mention the planned intercession for Dunlop.

Nicole also felt a little heartfelt unwillingness to see her uncle tortured to death, with a sad look.

The two crew members pleaded bitterly, and finally, Mr. Dunlop, who deserved to die, had a chance of life.

Raymond first pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally it was Anna who took turns to persuade him, and he reluctantly agreed.

All of this was naturally heard by a certain CP9 captain hiding in the shadows.

Of course

And Mr. Dunlop, who thought he was going to die.

......

Listening to his kind niece Nicole pleading, Mr. Dunlop, who had just died with a generous face, was ecstatic.

His own wail was not in vain!

In this moment, Mr. Dunlop's mood also went up and down like a roller coaster.

Listening to Raymond's hesitation for a moment, his heart was like ashes; After a while, he listened to the others urging the stubborn captain to spare his life, and he was full of anticipation.

At last

As planned, Dunlop's death penalty was pardoned thanks to Colin and Nicole's intercession.

Nicole gave her uncle all the technical drawings she had brought from Master Connie's lab, and then made it clear that she didn't want to have anything to do with him in the future.

Picking up a small life, Dunlop was naturally ecstatic, he didn't expect that he not only saved his life, but also obtained a large number of high-level scientific and technological drawings of immeasurable value! With these things, the Pasi family will definitely be able to make a comeback in the future.

As for severing the relationship or something, he didn't care at all!

Although he was left aboard the badly damaged Eight-Legged Spider, it was not a fatal problem for a senior mechanic.

Although he could not completely repair the ship in the vast sea, at least ensure that the ship would not sink, he could still do it. What's more, no matter how bad it is, he can send a signal for the nearest human territory to rescue him, a noble scientist.

......

On the sea, the blue waves are slightly rippling, and the moonlight is still bright.

On the deck of the Golden Ghost.

The Ghost Regiment watched as the fat cat threw Dunlop onto the Eight-Legged Spider like garbage.

Raymond, the guy who plucked the goose, returned some of his personal belongings for the first time, so that he wouldn't die on the sea so easily.

CP9 has only one captain to follow, and now the target has become two, and the Yeka hidden in the shadow must also choose who to follow at this moment.

Luckily, Raymond guessed the desired outcome.

Just after Dunlop was thrown off the ship, the hostile hint in the system prompt was also transferred to Dunlop, and it was obvious that the [Shadow Fruit] Yeka chose to follow the blueprint.

After all, he has been secretly investigating with Nicole for so long, and he has used both hypnosis and observation many times.

By all indications, she was a little girl who was completely unaware.

If the "information on ancient weapons" really leaked from her, the biggest clue may not be on people, but on the original drawings of Master Connie. He guessed that maybe there was some cipher on the drawing that none of the codebreakers at the CP9 headquarters had ever discovered...

......

"Whew..."

Seeing that the hostile prompt in the system prompt was getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the vast sea, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't a last resort, he really didn't want to fight a top-tier transcendent who didn't know the means at all.

Colin on the side looked at Raymond's relieved expression and asked, "Captain, it's done?" ”

Raymond's eyes were full of joy and nodded: "Hmm! ”

Anna on the side didn't understand why, didn't understand what they were saying, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Raymond?" You seem to be talking about something we don't know? ”

"That guy has a CP9 with him..."

Raymond didn't hide it from everyone, and told the previous series of discoveries, responses, and arrangements.

After hearing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but be shocked and a little afraid.

They never imagined that there would be a CP9 top-level transcendent who had been secretly following them.

With his super concealment ability that can hide in the shadows, it is really unguardable.

Only then did Anna and the others understand that their captain, who "never kills people softly", did not kill that Dunlop during the day, and it turned out that they had this deep meaning.

......

The hidden danger is gone, and the "ghost group" has returned to harmony.

There was an extra scientist on board, and the atmosphere on the ship was noticeably more lively, with more laughter and laughter.

However, this new member of the group, Miss Nicole, is also very homely, and her favorite thing to do is to stay quietly in the laboratory with Colin to tinker with inventions.

With such a childhood sweetheart who is from the same division and has also attained high attainments in mechanic technology, Colin's progress in transforming and perfecting the Iron Toad is much faster.

What's more, there are a batch of world-class instruments and equipment brought out by Nicole from Hex City in the laboratory, and many super powerful equipment on the ship that were not ready to be built for the time being are also on the agenda.

The ultimate design goal of the Iron Toad is to be a "mobile war fortress"!

The most important part of this target plan is the "multi-barrel linkage magic artillery" system.

Now there is only one ultra-long-range gun installed on the Iron Toad, and the number is still far behind. According to Colin's original design drawings, there were at least twelve super-long-range guns in the final form!

When fully completed, the Golden Ghost will have super firepower suppression, thus reaching the world's top level of warship combat power!

Moreover, the two super projects of 'Ultimate Magic Energy Annihilation Device' and 'Deep Sea Battle Mech', Nicole can also provide some very professional advice to Colin.

The two of them, a malevolent gifted mechanic, came together and collided with a spark of inspiration that they were looking for.

The Golden Ghost is gradually becoming more and more mature in the direction of a more complete supership than before...

......

It didn't take long for Nicole to get used to the days of the "Ghost Regiment".

She also discovered that this was not a pirate group in the ordinary sense of the word, nor was it a simple adventure group.

Everyone on the boat was amazing, friendly and kind, making her feel like family. Of course, they all have a strong heart.

Because... Their ultimate goal is to fight against the world government!

When she first heard the news, Nicole was scared.

She never imagined that there would be anyone in this world who would dare to overthrow the world government as her goal...

In her previous opinion, it was impossible for that kind of huge world organization to be shaken by manpower, and that was the most heard words after fleeing with her uncle Dunlop for a few years.

But after staying in the ghost group for a long time, she gradually felt that the "unrealistic" goal seemed to be really possible.

This is a group of partners who are very fanatical about ideals and persistent!

......

On this day, in the mechanical laboratory.

Colin and Nicole are immersed in research.

Today

Colin plans to weld and reinforce some of the pipes hidden deep in the ship's cabins. So he took out some mechanical spiders the size of his fingernails and helped drill into the tiny pipes of the ship's hull to do some welding work that was beyond the human effort.

Nicole saw that these flexible mechanical spiders were very novel, so she asked, "Colin, did you make these mechanical spiders yourself?" How can they do such a complex welding job with such a small size? ”

"yes. This is the 'mechanical welding spider'. ”

Colin explained: "In the past, it was very troublesome to get these bugs, which required extremely delicate equipment, but now with the alchemy body, this thing is not too difficult to make. ”

"Ah, it's really fine, flexible, precise, controllable... With these little guys, the fine forging of ships will indeed be much more convenient. ”

Nicole sighed with emotion, the more high-level mechanics are, the more they can appreciate the extraordinaryness of this little mechanical spider.

She blinked, and then asked, "Colin, how did you come up with this whimsy?" ”

"It's not all I think."

Colin raised his eyebrows and said, "When I used to study with the teacher, I saw that there was a kind of 'nanorobot' in the ancient scientific and technological civilization, which could survive in the blood organs of the human body, help remove patients and suture wounds... That's where my inspiration for 'Mechanical Spider' came from. ”

Nicole sounded a little unfamiliar with the term, "Nanobots? ”

"Oh, I almost forgot. It was a top-secret research project of the teacher, and I was the teacher's assistant at the time, so I heard the term. ”

Colin thought for a moment and explained, "Someone found a mysterious potion in an ancient ruin, and it later fell into the hands of the teacher. As a result, it was discovered that the potion was actually a 'nanorobot' recorded in the legendary ancient technological civilization! Later, the teacher studied it secretly for a while, and only then did he reveal many of their magical functions..."

He explained in detail the origin and function of "nanobots".

After listening carefully, Nicole showed an extremely surprised expression and exclaimed, "Oh my God! Robots smaller than cells? If there really is such a small robot, then to what extent has the ancient technological civilization reached? ”

"yes, I think it's incredible, too. I can now build this kind of fingernail-sized 'mechanical spider' is already the limit, and if I really want to build a 'nanobot', I don't know how many tens or hundreds of years it will take..."

Colin pursed his lips, with a feeling of looking forward to the ocean, and said: "However, it seems that scientific and technological civilization to that extent is not necessarily good for human beings. Legend has it that the ancient super-technological civilization was destroyed because their technology reached the extreme, so they created a 'super weapon' that could destroy the world, and died in a civil war..."

Saying this, Colin was suddenly startled, and his eyes rolled frequently.

It was like another inspiration flashed through my head...

That's right, "Ancient Weapons"!

At this time, Colin suddenly thought of what Raymond had analyzed for him before.

Captain CP9 is here, and it is very likely that Nicole has a secret about the teacher's "Ancient Weapon" plan that even she doesn't know!

Colin instantly connected to something, and muttered to himself: "The dormant 'nanorobotic worms' will not be discovered by the current instruments in the human body, and they will automatically recharge in the human blood flow, and they will only operate automatically when the energy is stored..."

Finally, he felt like he had grasped that crucial point!

In his mind, if Nicole really has the "secret" left by the teacher, then the method that has been repeatedly investigated by the world government has not been able to figure out is very likely to be - "nanobots"!

Nicole on the side didn't know why, she saw that Colin's demeanor became very strange, and asked suspiciously, "Colin, what's wrong with you?" ”

Colin stared at Nicole with burning eyes and said slowly, "I think... I may have discovered the secret left by my teacher! ”

"Huh?"

Nicole was a little uncomfortable staring at her.

But before she could ask any more questions, Colin took her hand and made her sit on a chair beside her.

And then... Connected wires?

Although Nicole thought this move was crazy, she didn't resist it, but was curious: "Colin... You're not trying to power me, are you? ”

As if he was in a trance, Colin said, "According to the teacher's research, the 'nanorobotic bug' reacts to bioelectricity and 36V alternating current. Charge enough, and those machines will wake up from their sleep..."

"Huh?"

Nicole was still a little puzzled when she heard these unfinished words.

But after all, she is also a top scientist, and suddenly she also thought of something, and exclaimed: "You mean to say that if Grandpa Zeng really left the information on my body, it is possible that the 'nanorobotic worm' was injected into my body without my knowledge?" ”

"Yes! Only in this way can he avoid the eyes and ears of the world government, and the teacher can convey the message he wants to convey unconsciously! Because you don't know about it, even if you are caught by the World Mansion, you will never be seen through. Because, that technology, except for me and the teacher, no third person in this world knows about it! ”

Colin's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Since the teacher was able to send me out in advance, he must have discovered the tricks of the World Mansion a long time ago. ”

After thinking for a moment, he felt more and more that his conjecture was correct, and sighed, "I should have thought of it a long time ago!" How could a wise man like the teacher not even notice that the black hand of the World Mansion had reached into the laboratory..."
