Chapter 524: I Really Didn't Expect It (Add a more chapter, I wish you all book friends a happy New Year's Day)
"Yo, this is an airship? It turns out that it looks like this ghost, it's so ugly! ”
"Living like a big shark doesn't look like a good thing!"
"I said, Brother Melkin, this guy is too small, right? How many goods can be loaded? It's not as big as a barge, and this can take away our jobs? ”
"You know the! If people can build a small airship, they will be able to build a big spaceship in the future, but if you don't care now, what will you do in the future? Melgin angrily rebuked his fellow for his lack of vision. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"yes, if we build an airship the size of a freighter in the future, what's the use of us guys who eat by the sea? We all have to beg! ”
"Melkin, can an airship really float? It doesn't seem to have wings......"
"This ......" Melgin scratched his head, and couldn't figure out how the silver-gray iron-hulled ship with a round head and round head could fly into the sky, and waved his hand impatiently: "Don't care so much, smash it!" ”
"Great! Guys, let's get started! ”
The sailors laughed and cursed as they approached the airship, picking up their sticks and smashing them.
Boom! The iron rod smashed on the shell of the "Dawn", the steel plate was violently impacted and buzzed, and the layer of silver-gray damping and anti-rust coating on the surface of the heavy blow collapsed.
The interior of the airship was also shaken, and the hatch suddenly opened, and an old man with gray hair in blue canvas overalls came out and angrily shouted to the group of thugs below: "Bastard! What are you doing? Who allowed you to break in? Get out of here! ”
"Old guy, what are you doing, if you don't want to be unlucky, hurry down!" Melgin squinted at the old man.
"What am I doing? Hey, thanks to your question, Lao Tzu is the inventor of this airship! ”
"Oh, I see, you're the old man Sukhoi," Melgin scratched his finger at the old man on the gangway, "Come down, we're not hard for you today, but we have to smash this damn airship!" ”
"You're dreaming!" The old man's face turned blue with anger, and he waved his hand to cast a spell, but before the spell could be released, he was hit on the forehead by an iron rod flying in the air, and fell down the high gangway.
The sailors exclaimed in unison, and subconsciously retreated backwards, lest they be hit by him.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed outside the door, rushing like lightning, and all the sailors who stood in front of him were knocked away, and in the blink of an eye, he approached the airship, raised his hand to support the old man who had fallen, and protected him from landing safely.
Sukhoi was shocked, looked up at the young man who had saved him, and said gratefully: "Young man, thank you......"
"You're welcome, Master, my name is Roland Kolas, a traveler from the south, I wanted to visit you for a long time, but I didn't expect this to happen, it's really outrageous!"
"Hey! Where did you kid come out? A sailor approached with a big stick and tried to push Roland away.
"Get out of here!" Roland kicked him away, turned around and roared at the crowd, the golden shockwave erupted from his mouth, turning into a golden lion and spreading, instantly stunned all the drunken sailors, including Ludde Melkin, no one was exempt, the clubs in his hands clanged to the ground, all of them held their heads in their hands, their faces were pale, and the strength of the wine was all dispersed.
Roland knew that the stun caused by the Lion King's battle cry would only last for a few seconds, after which the mob would definitely intensify the destruction, and turned to Sukhoi and said, "Master, hold on to my arm. ”
Before the old man could come to his senses, Roland had already helped him to his feet, jumping up to the top of the gangway like a cannonball.
"Scared! I said, boy, you can really jump! It's like a spring on your leg! Sukhoi looked down at the gangway as high as a two-story building, and then looked up at the tall and handsome young man beside him, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Roland raised his hand and released a "holy healing" to heal the wound on the old man's forehead, and asked in a deep voice: "Master, can you try to activate the 'Dawn' and let it fly, so as not to be destroyed by the group of impulsive guys below." ”
Sukhoi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not yet, the equipment inside the airship has not been completed." ”
"That's a bit of a problem......" Roland looked down, and the sailors, who were frightened by the roar of the lion king, woke up one after another, and were shouting and scolding to surround him, claiming to overthrow the airship and force him and Sukhoi to come down.
"Master, have you prepared the 'Fire Wall Technique' today?"
Roland saw that Sukhoi was a mage and part-time trap warlock, and that unleashing a wall of fire spell at his casting level was enough to deter all sailors.
Sukhoi wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeve, shook his head, and said, "Fire Wall Technique? That won't work, young man, I can't use the wall of fire against my own people, even if they're a bunch of drunks and fools. ”
"But ......"
"I have better options, like this one!" The old man quickly made a series of gestures, spat out obscure incantations, and a force field wall rose from the ground, enclosing the "Dawn" inside the wall, while Melkin and the other sailors were isolated, and no matter how much they beat them, they could not destroy the invisible wall.
"Very well, now we can talk calmly," Sukhoi asked the group condescendingly, "why do you cursed drunks break into my factory and go drunk?" ”
"Old fellow, this is not forced by you!" Someone in the crowd raised their heads and scolded, "It's all your fault for making this damn airship, trying to steal our jobs, taking our bread, if we don't resist, we will all lose our jobs and die!" ”
"Stealing your job? What does that mean? Sukhoi looked puzzled.
"Master, the sailors believe that airships will soon replace freighters as the mainstream means of transport, so that the maritime industry will inevitably be affected, and they will also face the threat of unemployment." Roland hurriedly explained to him the concerns of the sailors.
"Hey! Who told you this? That's nonsense! Sukhoi was angry and funny, shook his head and said: "I really want to use an airship instead of a freighter, after all, it is faster and can fly over mountains, but unfortunately this is not realistic at all, at least with the current technology...... Well, it won't be possible in 20 years, these fools, do you understand how expensive air freight is? ”
Roland also smiled, "Master, it's because they don't understand these truths that they will be tempted to protest, but then again, since the carrying capacity of the airship is far less than that of the freighter, and the operating cost is still so high, it probably only has military value at present, right?" ”
Sukhoi shook his head disapprovingly, "Needless to say, the military value is not mentioned, but the airship also has a high commercial value, and we don't need to use it to transport large quantities such as grain, but more importantly, to deliver mail." ”
"Mail ......" Roland's body shook like an electric shock, and he stood for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help roaring angrily in his heart:
"! How did I not think of that?! (To be continued.) )
