Chapter 9 Let the mind be distracted
"Okay. I can try to get you in touch with that. Those guys didn't have a communication system that was very advanced. As for what to say after that. It's up to you. I don't have to wait. Go to my ship now. I'd like to go back and rest early. "I'm really tired these days. Such a big ship. Even if the elves help build it. Luke was almost tired and vomited blood.
"This." Although they already knew that Luke had more technology in his hands than they knew. But William never thought that the communication blockage that had plagued them for so many years was a matter of no concern to Luke. "That's so thankful."
William and Date discussed some things again. Then he followed Luke out of the office building with a pile of documents and other things. I stayed in it for half an hour.
Just got off the plane. Congyun, who was going to take a break, received another call from Luke. Immediately, he pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction. Really. Is it so troublesome? I'm not a full-time driver. This time, let's just let Blowing Snow try. Otherwise, you can let Bai Xue try.
"Naw. Blowing snow. Do you want to try flying a flying machine? ”
As a result of Congyun's words, William and the others stepped on the floor of the Attila with pale faces. How in just a dozen seconds. It was as if they were wandering around in front of the gates of hell.
Even Reutec's faces were a little pale. It wasn't like this when I came down before.
It was a little better when it was Luke's turn for the three. The aircraft is fairly stable. It just rubbed against the side wall of the hatch. Scraped some of the paint off the aircraft. It's not a big deal. Luke, who came down from above, was also a little puzzled. How from the cloud this guy's driving skills have deteriorated.
I just thought so. I saw Congyun and Fusang standing next to the flying machine to receive Reut and several people. Forehead. Since from the cloud is here. So who is it...... As soon as I turned my head, I saw the blowing snow with a flushed face. Look at the way this guy is eager to try. It seems that I want to fly around the aircraft again.
"Uh. It's blowing snow. "Seeing the blowing snow sitting in the driver's seat. There is also deep snow sitting next to it. No wonder. No wonder he thinks that Congyun's driving skills have deteriorated. Emotions are not driving from the clouds at all.
But I didn't expect that blowing snow is still quite talented. There is no computer in the body to assist in control. I was able to successfully learn how to fly this aircraft in such a short period of time. Sure enough, did the ship's mother's learning ability take effect again?
It seems that as long as it is related to the use of weapons or other things, or driving or other things. The ship girls are very quick learners. Oh yes. Martial arts skills are also learned quite quickly.
"Let's go. Don't be stunned here. Let's go to the war room first. "Inside the war room there is equipment dedicated to communications. The most important thing is that there are chairs to sit comfortably.
That island in the north. Luke didn't know what to call it. Anyway, for the time being, it's the island in the north. There's no difference between communication technology over there and Sing Tao here. With advanced technology, Luke easily controlled the satellite signal and cut into the other party's communication system.
It's the same as this side of Sing Dao. There's also a parliament-like organization over there. But there is a president. The Speaker of Parliament is still below that man. Luke immediately connected the communication to the other party's phone.
And at this time. A certain president is sitting at home watching television. Today is a rare day off. It's too much to talk about not having a good rest at home and spending time with your family.
Anyway, there is basically no big threat on their island. The scale of the deep sea is not at all as ferocious as Star Island. Even if it touches the deep sea. At most, it's just a sporadic one or two deep seas. If you come across the deep sea of an air carrier or a warship. Then it's already the sky.
It's all thanks to a few unknown currents. Brought the deep-sea breath of the sea away from their island. So they don't have to spend too many resources to compete with the deep sea. More energy is focused on self-development.
This is also the reason why this island in the north seems to be much more developed than Star Island. Luke had studied these things a little before. Naturally, I know that the number of ship girls on the island here is not much.
I saw my phone ringing. One of the presidents picked up his phone. There was no number on it. It's weird. Subconsciously I want to hang up the phone. But think about what if the other party has something to do. Immediately move your fingers. Got the phone connected.
However, what is displayed on the phone this time is not a prompt that the previous call has been connected. It's a man's face.
Short blonde hair. It clearly looks like a Western face. Plus that handsome face that no matter which man looks at it, he will be a little jealous. A certain president was dumbfounded at this point. What's going on. Where did this guy come from. And when did his mobile phone have this kind of function to see the image of the other party. Didn't the people from the Ministry of Science and Technology say that it was being developed.
"Ahem. Sorry to bother you. Your Excellency the President. I'm William, Speaker of the Sing Island Council. I came to you this time to discuss with you...... "William didn't hesitate. After seeing the old man's face appear on the screen. After a moment's pause, he opened his mouth and spoke.
Luke wasn't interested in anything like these deals. As long as it doesn't involve him, he won't care. And these technologies in his hands. Although attractive. But I think it doesn't matter which island is in the north. It's still here on Star Island. They don't have that many resources for them to spend.
Just look at that institute of the gendarmerie. In addition to the gate and some key parts. It is basically made of cement. Metal materials are not used much. After all, metal materials also have to be supplied to various admirals for construction or ship repair. Most of the rest can be used for civilian use or supplied to the army to make equipment.
And compared to here in Star Island. The island in the north is truly barren in terms of these reserves of strategic resources. There is not a single oil well on the island. There is also only one mine. From the satellite, you can see cargo ships and freighters going back and forth along one of the most rare channels of the deep sea. It was all cargo ships that went to the continent to the west to buy resources.
The boats are full of products made on the island. The ship back was laden with all sorts of scarce supplies.
And it's the same as Star Island. They also do not have the ability to harvest minerals in the sea. It is entirely dependent on trade with the western continent that can sustain the consumption needs of the entire island.
Luke listened to it for a while and found it boring. The leaders of the two islands haggled back and forth like merchants. After saying hello to Reuter directly, he went to hang out outside the war room.
In addition to Reut, several admirals followed. After all, it doesn't have much to do with them. So when I came out, I took the opportunity to take a stroll around this huge spaceship.
This huge spaceship. It's no smaller than a small town. The width alone is almost five or six hundred meters. The height has reached more than 100 meters. Such a big ship. It's hard to imagine how Luke managed to build such a big ship.
William's meeting with the president lasted for an hour. Finally, a business agreement was finalized. Immediately, Reut's call was also on Luke's phone. Tell Luke to go back and discuss the details.
William didn't mention how to get the goods over in the newsletter just now. It is only said that they have the ability to break out of the blockade of the deep sea. The other party agreed. Agree that they will trade with them on the south side of the opposing island.
The goods traded are not souvenirs or anything like that. Rather, it is the minerals and oils that are purchased from Luke's side.
Because Luke's production is like breaking through the sky. Compared to their former mines and oil wells. The yield is many times higher. Even if it's to spend money to buy it. It is also profitable to sell to the northern islands.
What's more, thanks to the high yield on Luke's side. This gave them the ability to sell some of the minerals and crude oil that they couldn't consume for the time being. In exchange for some basic civilian facilities. Slightly improve the living standards of the people on the island.
To be honest, William also wanted to buy some weapon technology from Luke's side. But what Luke pulled out from here already made him feel that this was not human technology. As soon as this idea came to him, he pressed it back. Now is not the time. At least until the scientists trained by the council can understand a little bit of how these things work and ask Luke about it.
Otherwise, the technology was bought. If you can only stare at it when you get it, it will be a waste of money.
"Mr. Luke. That's the agreement we made this time. Basically, every month, you will borrow your ship Atira to transport a batch of mineral resources to the northern islands. It won't take you too long. Do you have any questions? William handed Luke the agreement he had drafted earlier. Cautiously asked.
After all, all the deals with the North depended on Luke's ship. If the other party is upset. I don't do it. Isn't the argument he just had with the president in vain?
Flipped through the handwritten agreement. Most of the materials written on it are steel, crude oil, and the like. Aluminum because the output is not very much. Therefore, it was not included in the transaction by William.
It's the ones you bought. Varied. From civilian to military. A whole bunch of mess. Luke was dazzled by what he saw. But it's nothing. "Nothing. Is it only once a month? Hm. It's better to be distracted. ”
