Chapter 186: Airplanes

The officers left the town hall with satisfied expressions, and this time it can be said that all of them received a great boost. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And among these people, the one with mixed joys and sorrows belongs to Shiloh.

This time, Locke put a lot of duties on her. Now, Locke can be separated from anyone, but Shiloh can't do it, her position is too important, and she is doing all the dirty work. Moreover, her position is more suitable, and others are not competent.

Who made her a prosecutor...

The soldiers sometimes questioned Locke's decision, but Shiloh's identity made it difficult for the soldiers to question it. After all, priests generally represent the Light.

"Did you forget me?" Brigitte stood behind Locke dissatisfied, and she crumpled the piece of paper, still on Locke.

Locke slapped his head and really forgot about her...

"You're my clerk! How important this location is! Locke looked at her with a smile and said, "You will be responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future!" ā€

"Humph! Isn't it just writing and drawing? It's as important as it is! Besides, who said that the clerk should be responsible for your food, clothing, shelter and transportation? Bridget snorted, "I'm not your maid!" ā€

"Who said I should tie her up last night?" Locke joked.

"I was kidding!" Bridget said with a blushing face.

"Well, I'm kidding, too." Locke comforted her, "You in the future are the commander of the Fifth Legion, and my current position is yours." ā€

"Oh?!" Bridget turned her head to a spirit, and she said half-incredulously, "You're not kidding, are you?" ā€

"I'm never joking about this kind of thing!" Locke said solemnly.

"Okay, then I'll trust you for once." Bridget had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart.

"Go and call the goblin mage named Gates at the edge of town, it's time for him to do his job!" Locke commanded, "Our air force will be in his hands." ā€

"Yes! Lord Locke! Brigitte pouted in response, "I see that you don't even know how to be polite when you use me now." ā€

Locke could only laugh at this.

Not long after, the goblin mage braved the wind and snow to reach the town hall.

"You may be seated! Your Excellency Gates, this is the time to show your worth! ā€

Before the goblin could sit down in his chair, Locke spoke straight to the point.

"Oh?" Gates had no choice but to stand and look at Locke suspiciously.

"I approached you some time ago and asked if you would make helicopters and fighter jets, and you told me that it was not a problem for you." Locke looked at him, and the other nodded. He continued, "When the snow stops, we're going to build an air force!" ā€

Gaicha looked at Locke in some surprise, and he asked tentatively, "Lord Lord, are you sure you really need to build an air force?" ā€

"Yes!" Locke affirmed.

Goblin Gates placed his staff on the table beside him, and he opened his hand, a cloud of magical energy gathered in his hand.

The magical energy shimmered like a slide, and models of airplanes appeared, flying in the air, doing all sorts of somersaults and serpentine movements.

"My lord, do you know about the engineering creation of the airplane?" Goblin Gates didn't stop the magic energy in his hand, he looked at the airplane slide and asked, "This is not an easy thing. This requires a complete set of production lines to support, from the stamping and grinding of the support structure of the aircraft, to the torsion test of a screw, which are not essential! ā€

"With all due respect, your territory does not have these conditions right now." Gates turned off the slides in his hand, and he turned to look at Locke.

"You're right! Before, we really didn't have these conditions, but now you're here! We have these conditions, and we can make these most basic tools one by one. ā€

"No, no, no!" Gates waved his hands, and he shook his head, "I suppose you didn't understand what I said, my lord. Even if all the conditions I mentioned above are met. It would be a huge amount of work for me to build the aircraft alone, and it would take several months to complete the installation of an aircraft. Moreover, it will be necessary to carry out commissioning work for this assembled aircraft, which will be another long time. ā€

"When I get a plane ready, it will take at least one year. 1 year, one plane, can you accept it, lord? Gates asked, spreading his hands.

"I need a lot of people to give me a hand. For example, complete and supporting factories for the production of parts, engineers in the aircraft manufacturing industry, skilled assembly workers, craftsmen who are familiar with the discipline of engineering, and test pilots who have the courage to dedicate their lives to scientific experiments. ā€

"Wait, wait! Too much! It's not something you can do in a hurry here, my lord. Gates said helplessly.

"Huh." Locke smiled. Thankfully, I prepared it all in advance!

"Don't worry, I have everything you need." Locke looked at him with a smile, "In the warehouse at our dock, there are engineering materials for 80 helicopters and materials for 50 fighter jets!" Materials for 30 bombers. There are now hundreds of skilled craftsmen in engineering disciplines in our towns of Iva, ranging from high to low, and I will form a 5,000-strong technical army to serve you! ā€

"This will do what you want!"

Locke looked at the stunned Gates in front of him, and said with a smile, "As for the engineers in the aircraft manufacturing industry you mentioned, as well as those supporting facilities for producing parts, we have them here!" It's just that they don't belong to us for the time being, and I'll take care of them. ā€

"Go get ready!" Locke patted the goblin on the shoulder, "In the future, in the mage tower I built, maybe there will be a place for you!" ā€

In this way, Gates was coaxed out in a daze, and he was completely stunned by the three words of the mage tower.

O Mage Tower! That's what mages dream of! Even if it's a room...

Fooled away Gates, the wanted criminal mage. Locke began to figure out how to fool the aircraft engineers that Zacks had brought with him, and the factory machinery that produced the supporting facilities.

Yesterday, after unloading, Zax had to sell the plane to Locke for 500 gold coins, and Locke certainly didn't want it.

Just kidding, so expensive! Only fools buy it! I don't necessarily need a plane anyway.

Zax was a little overwhelmed, he was indeed prepared to take Locke as the wronged boss and slaughter him fiercely. It's just that I didn't expect Locke to play cards according to common sense, not even talking about the price, and even directly refused! Let him find someone to pull out the parts of the plane that are already in storage!

And here, the fleet of the Blackwater pirates has already left, where to find the ship. With the few merchant ships of their own that are now staying at sea, they can't even fit half of them.

This is also Locke's intention, when he heard Zax say that a plane is 500 gold coins, he already had such thoughts.

Unload the stuff into my warehouse first, and when your fleet is gone, you can't sell it to me if you don't want to. If you really don't sell, pull it out! Or put it in my warehouse, and charge 10 gold coins per day for renting the warehouse!

Just when Zax was in a dilemma, Rock made a suggestion.

Locke proposed to buy all the materials that Zacks had brought with him for the production of the aircraft.

Count as 10 gold coins per rack.

Zax wasn't an engineering craftsman, but he knew it. The most valuable thing about the aircraft is the energy core of the aircraft, which accounts for 95% of the value of the entire aircraft.

The value of an energy core is about 5 gold coins, plus the crafting cost is about 6 gold coins. Like other aircraft controllers, stabilizers, and vortex engines, these things are only a few silver coins at the most expensive.

The cost of an airplane is only 6 gold coins, less than 7 gold coins.

The previous price of 500 gold coins was also his lion's mouth, wanting to make money from it.

So he readily agreed to sell it, and the goods were only money if they were sold, otherwise they would be treated as scrap iron for him! Aircraft are such engineering creations, and they can't be too much for their group.

In the past, no human beings believed in the engineering technology of goblins, but now that a human Kaizi has finally appeared, he will definitely take the opportunity to make a profit.

Anyway, there is no one in the human race who can make the energy core of the plane. Eventually, Locke returned the favor to him.

The process of making the energy core is very complicated, and only the master engineer can make it completely, otherwise the aircraft will have all kinds of accidents. He was not afraid that Locke would call people to copy it, because there were no famous engineering masters in the human world.

So he sold it happily! Anyway, it's all parts, and Locke can't assemble it without engineers who make aircraft.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that there would be a wanted goblin Gates on Locke's side. Not only is he a master engineer who can build airplanes, but he also builds the energy reactor core of airplanes...

Gates will not even appear in front of his compatriots, because most of the goblin traders work as bounty hunters, and they have portraits of wanted criminals in various kingdoms...

If they find out, their compatriot Gates worth 30,000 gold coins, they will immediately find a way to inform Dalaran....

Now, Locke is ready to get in touch with the goblin aircraft engineers who live in the town of Eva, and there are hundreds of them.

In the goblin race, their racial talent seems to be invention and creation. They always have a very high interest in mechanical things.

They may see gold as first and technology second. No race can ever save this race from a game of technology.

"So! I just need to take out the gold coins! Dangle in front of them! These little things that are greedy for money may follow them. They can not only satisfy their own inventions and creations of technological games, but also earn gold coins happily! Locke said to himself.

"Thankfully, I'm not short of money right now!"
