Chapter 867: The Floating Boat (Three Watches, Considered a Side Story of Camille)
Time flies, and it has been more than a month since Jeno returned to Piltover. He was glad to see that everything was business as usual in Picheng, developing at a high speed and in good order.
During this time, he was involved in many meaningful things.
For example, visiting the opening ceremony of her daughter Jiena, taking her to and from school in a new mode of transportation, and ...... On the second anniversary of her acquaintance with Orianna, I personally prepared a commemorative meal and gifts for her.
Originally, he wanted to put a diamond ring in the gift box to propose. But as soon as he thought that he would have to face the Void and the Star Spirit next, he gave up on this plan for the time being.
Jano was absolutely sure that Orianna would accept the proposal, but he was not completely sure that he would come back alive.
He planned to spend only a few years to clear the threat of the Void, and then take all the runes and go to the peak.
If he is still alive after all this is done, there is no existence in this world that can threaten him, then he can live the life he wants with peace of mind, take his family and friends to travel the world, and no longer have to say goodbye to all kinds of things, and be a competent husband and father.
When the time comes, he will propose to Oriana in the cable workshop that shuttles back and forth between the Zaun Gorge.
In the month since he returned to Phi City, Jeno has lived a full and happy life. But the fly in the ointment is that neither Reze nor Jax, who were invited, came to him.
This made him a little depressed, is he so unreliable?
However, there is much more to him than just these two people, but he hasn't invited anyone else in the past month, because there is a big project that is about to be completed, and Jeno needs to supervise him every step of the way.
This major project is not part of the construction plan for the Sungate Power Station, which will take at least four years to complete. Rather, it's another, a plan that has been underway long ago.
That is the ancient Shurima dynasty's floating chariot reproduction plan.
The project had been working in the Philos shipyard shortly after Geno's defeat of Zelas, so the project had been going on for more than a year now and was coming to an end.
The floating chariot was a war machine that Gulshurima was proud of, so it took him a lot of rhetoric to dig the blueprints out of Azir's hands.
Jeno didn't intend to completely replicate the floating chariot from the beginning, he just took a fancy to the black technology of floating technology, and used this technology to build a large manned floating ship in new bottles. Aside from its large size, there were no technical difficulties to overcome, so it took more than a year to make it.
The reason why this floating ship was built was because Jeno considered that when fighting the Void, his members should stay as far away as possible from the eroded land, so as not to be mentally eroded by long-term contact or avoid the siege of the ground worm sea.
In the face of these situations, it would be much more convenient if there was an air platform, so this floating ship also came into being.
He didn't build it for himself, but for his team, although he was the only one on the team now......
After a month of supervision by Jeno, the floating ship was finally completed yesterday. And today, when the wind and sun are beautiful, it will usher in its test flight moment.
Sunlight shines through the skylight into the shipyard's workshop, coating the brand-new floating ship with a layer of gold paint.
Jeno and Camille walked side by side into the brightly lit workshop, looking at the behemoth that smelled of paint in front of them.
The current floating ship is quietly erected in the workshop, which is not much different from the ordinary ship that is about to be launched. The hull length is close to that of Sarah's Siren and can easily accommodate a hundred people. With the same streamlined design, Jeno doesn't need to change anything.
Because it uses magic to float in the air, unlike the flaming jet aircraft, the speed is inherently limited, but it is only used as a landing platform, and its function is limited, so there is no need to bother to integrate the aerodynamic design into the shape.
Only to give people the wonderful feeling of a flying ship, which is what Jeno wants. If he could make something as exciting as a jet machine, he feared that his crew would find it difficult to accept it and would not dare to board the plane.
The biggest difference between a floating ship and an ordinary ship is its interior.
Because he was involved in the construction, Jeno was familiar with the hull construction. It was supposed to be him who took Camille aboard the ship and went to the power room to put in the power core.
But upon landing on deck, Camille stood still.
"What's wrong?" Jeno looked back and thought she was suffering from seasickness, the first time he had seen Camille on board.
"If you keep going, I'll leave a lot of footprints on your new ship." Camille stood helplessly, prompting Jeno to look at her feet.
Her sharp leg blades stabbed easily into the deck under the weight of her weight, leaving behind a pair of fingernail-deep cuts, what she called footprints.
If he continued to follow Jeno, the trail would have been in the power compartment.
"That's what it means!" Jeno suddenly realized that in order to reduce weight, most of the hull was built with wood. Therefore, the ground was too soft for Camille to sink in as soon as he stepped on it......
"It's really not nice to leave footprints on a new ship, I think you don't seem to have a prosthetic leg that you can replace, right? Even if there is, it would be too troublesome to go back and change it now...... Heck, I should have made you a pair sooner. Why don't you try to put your toes in the gaps in the boards......
Watching Jeno crouch down, looking at the way he complained and tried to find a way, Camille's unchanged cold expression showed a hint of an imperceptible smile.
The fact that he dared to put his face in front of his leg was enough to prove that he had absolute trust in himself, which made Camille, who had not experienced family affection for a long time, feel some comfort.
But for the precision of Piltover's huge machine, she had to hide her feelings. So before Jeno snapped his leg to reflect his expression, Camille retracted the corners of his mouth and his eyebrows.
"Let's do this first, I'll make you a pair of crystal slippers temporarily, and change the force under your feet, so that you won't leave any more marks when you walk on the boat." Jeno said as he placed his hand on the tip of Camille's leg blade and shaped a pair of crystal slippers on the spot.
In fact, he could use runes to temporarily turn Camille's leg blade into a bionic leg, but considering the nominal seniority of the two and the embarrassment of Camille showing a pair of long legs in front of him, he didn't do that.
But even so, Camille was satisfied. She kicked the crystal slipper fixed to the tip of her leg, and the gorgeous appearance made her long-dormant girl's heart tremble.
I have to say that Jeno understands women's minds very well. It's just that a lot of the time, he is pretending to be confused, otherwise the women who are entangled with him will not be able to stuff this ship more.
"When it comes to the crystal slipper, I have to talk about a fairy tale. In that fairy tale, the prince had a pair of crystal slippers, and only a beautiful girl who happened to wear them could marry the prince. Jeno looked at his masterpiece and smugly told Camille the story.
"You use a story to deceive a child to coax an old woman in her eighties, should I be happy? Or are you naïve? ”
This time, Camille finally stopped hiding her expression, and the corners of her mouth went up.
