Chapter Twenty-Three: The Time Has Come to Verify the Lineage

"What... Half a ton of gold. Lillian cried out loudly. That's too much, isn't it? The year-end bonuses at the Governor's Palace are all based on restraint. Why is it that this large-scale construction requires half a ton of gold?

"yes. Therefore, this news is basically only known to the admirals and governors of the large town guard mansions. After all, even if you tell the admirals below. They couldn't make up so much gold. After all, there is no production here in Star Island. "Spread your hands. Akashi said helplessly.

After speaking, he looked at Lilian, who was speechless. Turning to Luke's eyes, he asked. "Naa. Luke. You must have enough gold. ”

I saw Akashi leaning his face over. Luke raised an eyebrow and took a step back. "Yes, yes. I hadn't heard of any of these things from the goblins, though. Can your goblins really make large-scale construction devices? ”

Luke's suspicious tone was heard. Akashi pursed his lips dissatisfied. "How could it be. It's just that you didn't give those goblins enough gold. So they don't want to tell you at all. ”

"Uh. Probably. I'll ask them in the afternoon. "I thought about it. Luke thought it would be good to ask. If the large-scale device can really make the ship of enough level to go to the sea. Maybe they'll be able to give Fuso another modification. Suddenly transformed from a humanoid into a giant battleship. It's still the kind that can fly. Well. When I think about it, I think it's very powerful.

"Hey, hey. Luke. If the elves help you make a large construction device, can you let me use it too? "Hear Luke say that. Lillian next to her is just excited. It's a big build. This name is very powerful when I hear it. Maybe there's really going to be something particularly powerful.

"Uh. Well...... this."

"Ahh It's okay to borrow it. But Admiral Lillian. Large-scale construction requires ten times as many resources as a normal building. Do you really still have that many resources? Luke didn't answer. Akashi was already a basin of cold water poured on Lillian's head.

Hearing this, Lillian's mouth immediately grew. looked at her stunned. That's it. Her resources are barely enough to build a big one. If it's calculated by a factor of ten. Think about it this way. Lillian immediately had a dejected look on her face. I didn't expect so many resources to be needed. And what about her...... Wrong. Just borrow a little from Luke. Anyway, he has so many resources. I don't think I care about that.

I saw Lillian's eyes shining at him like little stars. Luke's cheeks jumped immediately. This guy. Do you think I'm an ATM? But it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are so many steels and the like now. I can't use it up at all. If Lilian can have a few more strong ship girls here. The base side will be more reassuring. Especially when he might have to run to the moon in the future.

Compared to the automatic defense system. Luke would prefer someone to guard the place. After all, the self-defense system also has its own limitations. Besides, he didn't even have it on the base right now.

If you want to make this thing foolproof. The entire base is at least going to be overhauled. That's a lot of work. Now he doesn't have time to fix these things. Two cargo ships are still waiting to start. Plus the retrofit of the control system. Although it was easier than building the Attila. But it didn't get much better.

In addition, several locations have already been booked for the construction of mining rigs. Hm. Anyway, it's just a bunch of things waiting for him to do.

Send the excited Lillian away. Luke ran over to talk to the elves. Sure enough, these goblins know. Originally, he asked at first. I still shook my head as before and said I don't know. But look at him and he came directly with half a ton of gold.

One by one, the little heads are pointed. It's almost like a woodpecker. Immediately, it was like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and they all told Luke again.

The rest of the matter was to call the building goblins. Then and a whole bunch of goblins in the factory were ready to start building. The location was chosen on the side of the newly opened water inlet. Originally, Luke had intended to use it as a special passage for the ship's attack. But then it won't work. It had to be expanded.

At the very least, it would have to be expanded to accommodate the size of a real warship. Otherwise, when the time comes, the ship's ocean-going form will be transformed. It's too bad to be crammed into the dock.

Luke doesn't have to worry about the rest. The elves will be able to handle it. Wait until evening. A goblin came running over to report to Luke. He shouted at Luke as if he were invited. His eyes were fixed on Luke's pocket. This little guy is waiting for Luke to give her the gold.

Although throw this little guy a gold coin. Luke picked up the goblin and placed it on his shoulder. Walked over to the large construction device. Lillian is also sharp-eyed. As soon as I looked up, I saw Luke who was about to leave. Immediately followed.

"Huh." See the large construction unit that has already been built. Lillian also let out an exclamation. This large-scale construction installation. It looks huge. than the previous ordinary construction device. It is at least three times larger.

There's a lot of stuff like that, big booms. The space on the inlet side has also been expanded. The height is at least a lot higher than the dock next to it. I guess I've reached the top of this small island. Maybe it's even higher than the previous height.

It was originally made in shallow water in order to allow the ship to attack. At this time, it has been converted into a large area of deep water. Enough for some warships of relatively large tonnage to be able to anchor here. In fact, this is also to leave a place where the ship's mother can manifest the form of the ocean.

If it weren't for Mu Yue, the two of them would have forgotten what happened before they fell asleep. Luke might even be able to ask them about oceanization. But now there's no need to think about it. The two of them couldn't remember anything about how to go to the ocean. It is estimated that it will be necessary to go to the ocean again in the future.

Maybe then the memories of the two of them will come back.

"How. Do you want to try it now and build it once? Luke examined the build-up. Basically, it's not very different from a normal construction device. It's just a lot bigger. Then there was an additional device for oceanization. It was placed next to the pier.

"Okay. All right. As soon as Luke said this, Lilian said happily. He just turned around and ran towards the warehouse. Familiar opened the door of the warehouse. Drove the forklift inside.

It's certainly not that hard to learn. Even Lillian didn't take long to learn. But it's going to use this thing to move supplies or something. It's not to the level that the ship girl has become very proficient in once she learns it.。

But now this is clearly enough. Plus Luke was there to help. Soon a lot of supplies came in. Of course, it was all moved from Luke's side. It's close, after all.

This little thing. Compared to all kinds of materials piled up in the entire warehouse. At most, it's only one percent. There are resources to supply all the Admirals in the entire Star Island for the next month. Naturally, there is not much less. Even Lillian's share will come from here at that time.

Maybe then. The Reutt guy. I'll tell Lillian about this guy. Maybe she'll get it from Luke herself. Anyway, in the end, it was William who paid.

"Well. Don't say I didn't warn you before you do it. This large-scale construction may also make an ordinary ship girl. That's what the goblins say. You'd better not expect too much. "Seeing that Lillian had already thrown all the supplies into the feed port of the construction machine. Luke reminded.

"Uh-huh. You're right. No way. I've got to be a little more serious. Wait a minute. I'm going to take a shower first. He said. Lillian ran away. Luke was stunned. This guy. Don't be so cautious? I really have to run to take a shower.

Sitting here, I studied this large construction equipment again. I talked to the goblins for a long time. It's finally Lilian who is looking forward to returning. An hour had passed. Looking up, I saw what Lillian was dressed up like. Almost scared the cigarette out of Luke's mouth.

Boy. A neat set of dresses that are only worn when watching the ceremony. The hair is also neatly combed. Even the shoes on his feet were polished. It's almost ready to be used as a mirror. There was also a serious look on his face. Look at the outfit. It's like you're going to some important ceremony.

I said. You won't be able to......" Luke twitched at the corner of his eye. This guy. Maybe it's too serious.

"Uh-huh. Admiral Luke. How can you not be serious. This is the first time I've done a major build. It must be approached with caution. "Look at what Lillian said so loudly. Luke couldn't bear to hit her.

Anyway, it was before the crossing of the crossing. He's an African through and through. Big build or something. It has never been shipped. It's been hunting non-stop. I often fall into Fuso hell or something.

But I didn't expect to travel into this world now. Its main battleship is still Fuso. I have to say that this is really a bad fate.

"Good. When you're ready, let's get started. I'm just standing here and watching. "Okay. It's time to verify whether this guy is European or African. But look at Lillian's golden retriever. I guess there is more European ancestry.

Lillian nodded. tidy up his appearance in a decent manner. Walk up to the console of the large construction unit. After reconfirming that the number and proportion of resources were correct and correct. Took a deep breath. The rapid construction device that had been prepared earlier was put into the machine. (Borrowed from Luke.) Although it is certainly not affordable. )

I pressed the red start button hard.
