60 The Kerbal Space Project with the poet Dodan
"This ...... Kabbalah, why did you invest in Lin Dengwan without my consent! I will never agree to this kind of stupid thing that will cost the entire academy if it is not done! β
Dekken was barricaded at the door of a huge workshop, pulling the Kabbalah theory. Squinting Kabbalah's behavior behind his back was intolerable, and the guy actually built a spaceship for Lin Dengwan on his back and Moder on his back.
Although he and Linden Wan did not have any conflict, this plane city belonged to him and Model, and Kabbalah and Imhope were just guests. What is the matter with a guest using the host's assets to make an unsafe or even risky investment without the owner's consent?
This is of an extremely bad nature, and it is similar to embezzlement.
And this spaceship is one of the sponsorships that Linden wants to get from the "Academy", which is a "plane ship" that integrates the knowledge and wisdom of Kabbalah at a huge cost. Even Imhope came up with ideas for the design of the boat.
It was lying on its side in the workshop now, and some green-skinned, short-legged and big-handed dwarfs were crawling around the ship lively. Unlike the legendary dwarves, these little ones are more like aliens, with strange cylindrical heads.
They were busy with all kinds of tools, and bright sparks flashed on the metal hull from time to time.
These hard-working employees are recognized by Decon as a group of creatures called "Little Green Men". What makes them green is the chlorophyll contained in the cortex, which allows photosynthesis. As a result, they eat very little, and in extreme cases, they do not even have to eat for the rest of their lives.
In the opinion of the botanical expert Model, they are undoubtedly a strange species that is half plant and half animal. Their mode of reproduction is also very "plant" and reproduces through spores. As they age, their green skin will gradually fade, and by the time they are about fifteen years old, their skin will begin to gradually turn white, and when the color of their whole body is no longer a single bit green, they will come to the open space and wait for the end of their lives.
For man, death is the end of the journey of life. But for these green skins, death is the process of reproduction. The old white "man" at the end of his life will "bang!" The cylindrical head will turn into a cloud of dust and spores, scattered to the ground. The body becomes nourishment, and the young spores take root on the broken corpse and sprout new shoots. Hundreds of shoots will scramble to grow, compete, strangle and devour each other. The last few surviving plants will grow legs, shake off their roots, and flee the newborn land in search of water and fertile soil.
After 10 years, they will go through a short molt period and become a new generation of "little green men". When they reach maturity, they have a lifespan of only a pitiful fifteen years, which is a short-lived species.
They also constantly gather magic from the air into their bodies, but unfortunately these little green men are just empty of magic and cannot cast spells.
However, these short-lived "vegetative people" are not wooden, on the contrary, they are very smart and intelligent. They are great mechanics and engineers, and they are Kabbalah's most trusted men.
This ship is the fruit of their labor.
"Rest easy, Deken, I didn't break any of my decisions."
Kabbalah squinted and smiled, but Decken's stern attitude didn't tear through the faΓ§ade of his smile.
"I suggest you take a look at this."
Kabbalah snapped his fingers, and a letter appeared in front of Deken's eyes out of thin air.
Dekkon took the letter angrily and pondered for a moment.
"Since you can't get sponsorship, do you change to a white order? Isn't this still ......"
"You're wrong, Decumen. I didn't break any rules. I saw clearly, this order was a private order for me, the price was reasonable, and the resources were all the savings of me and Imu, all purchased through legitimate channels in my name, and even took care of the business of the Holy See.
So, you don't have to worry about getting the academy involved. What's more, I don't lose at all, just a little creative in the payment method. β
Although this did not convince Deken, he was immediately relieved to hear that it would not involve the academy.
"Playing a white strip is an empty glove white wolf, and using an empty and unknown proposal to pull sponsorship is also an empty glove white wolf, I can't see the difference."
"Of course, there is a difference, if it is in the form of investment sponsorship, although we can get a profit share, if we lose money, we deserve it.
And if it is a blank order, then it is equivalent to Linden Wan owing us money, and we will receive payment for the goods regardless of the outcome of his plan. This is something he can't rely on. You won't doubt a hero's ability to pay and credit. β
Kabbalah smiled even more proudly, no matter how conservative and suspicious Moder and Dekken were, they couldn't intervene. Because what he said is very right, and it is very reasonable.
Heroes can be evil, they can be crazy, they can be cunning, they can deceive, but they must be absolutely trustworthy. Although there seems to be some conflict between deception and trustworthiness, trustworthiness here means: the covenant of exit is the spirit of words; In black and white, there is no denial.
In short, it's okay to lie and deceive people. But the agreement with others must be kept and must not be broken. Of course, if there are loopholes in the promise, that's a different matter.
What's more, with the ability of a hero, it is naturally impossible to have bills that cannot be paid. Like this time, the final payment is equivalent to the income of a mercenary-type hero for two years. At most, I'll have to wait for two years, and I'll always get the money back anyway.
"Good...... Well, whatever you want...... Anyway, I wasn't the one who suffered in the end. β
Decon gave up, and although he was conservative, he was not a very unreasonable person. Since Kabbalah's approach is in line with the rules and there is no problem with the formalities, then he will no longer be nosy.
Now, he began to turn his gaze to the ship.
"This ship...... It's really a type I've never seen before, and it doesn't look like your style. β
"It's a made-to-order production according to customer needs, so naturally there will be a lot of changes."
"Customized?"
"yes, Lin Dengwan's request is strange. Perhaps it was the habit of the past, and he demanded that the ship be able to continue in the depths of the crevice. β
"Into the depths of the chasm? You have this technique!? β
Dekkon was surprised, for the depths of the chasm seemed to him to be an absolutely absolute forbidden place.
Around Dimension City is a sea of magic; They violently set off irregular tides, tearing at everything around them, somewhat similar to the storms in the sky. Not even the power of the gods can stretch their power there.
However, thanks to these berserk magic, Plane City is not short of energy. Designed by Dekken, Imhope's improved Magic Device harnesses these furious powers to bring the seat to life at every moment.
If the Magical Torrent in the Plane City near the Material Realm is the level of a storm on Earth, then the torrent in the depths of the gap is the level of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Boats that would normally travel near Dimensional City would be ruthlessly torn to pieces when they got there. Dekkon even thought it was impossible to drive there.
"I have the technology, but the problem is that it's not necessary. As for energy, it can be solved by relying on the surrounding magic torrent. If you have rare materials, you can also get them by the 'catches' in the vicinity. I can't even run out of materials to collect.
What's more, what's on the other side of that raging magical ocean...... Where are you going? We don't even know if there's the other side. Some experimental probes were also released, but no matter how far they went, they found nothing. Eventually, they lost contact with each other due to the increasingly powerful Storm of Magic.
Although it is possible to sail, the risk is too great, and the harvest is not clear, so this kind of thunder trip is better left to professional people to do. β
Kabbalah looked at the ship under construction, and the curvature of his mouth changed slightly, as if he were smiling evilly.
"Thunder...... I get it...... I feel so sorry for your friend Lin Dengwan, what would he think when he knew your state of mind? β
"I don't think much of it. It is his vocation to pioneer and go to thunder. Once, the purpose of his existence was to carve a way out of the thorns of danger. Even if he has changed inside and out, and has been tainted with all our habits, this greed for certain things has been engraved in the depths of his soul. It is precisely because of this that Lin Dengwan is Lin Dengwan, and he is worthy of being called Lin Dengwan. β
"I always feel ...... Your friends are amazing. But it's also ...... Belch...... 'To die', as you say? β
"Yes, he's the strongest little master of death, there is no one. However, it is necessary to be well prepared to die, so he ordered this ship. It's also the work I've ever put the most effort into. β
Although it is not yet completed, the ship is already beginning to emerge. The all-metal hull exudes a mysterious glow, and it seems that Kabbalah and his "little green men" have plated the hull with a special layer of material. The whole ship is not open like a traditional ship, but completely and completely closed. It's a bit like forcing two boats up and down together, with the bottom of the boat on either side.
In the belly of the boat, four huge paddles are also installed, like the fins of sea creatures. Deken noticed that the bottom of these "fins" appeared to be engraved with a number of runes of runes......
"Oh...... This configuration is more like a preparation for flying in the air, and it is not suitable for sailing on a torrent of magic. β
"Don't worry, this thing can be taken back into the cabin, it won't be affected. However, it is a spaceship that can penetrate deep into the gap and travel in normal airspace...... It's really weird. However, since this is a customer's request, I can only do my best to meet it. Anyway, this part of the money is also well counted in the bill. β
"And what, when are you going to deliver it?"
"That's a question, so how is the progress of the space poet Dodan?"
Kabbalah shouted as he waved to the busy group of little green men.
In response to the foreman's call, one of the little green men wearing a hard hat and a white coat rushed over, and it seemed that he was the person in charge.
To be honest, Dekkon admires Kabbalah's ability to distinguish all these little green men one by one, and in his opinion, these little ones all look the same except for their clothes.
"Oh, Chief Engineer~"
This little green man is quite literary, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is in the form of arias.
"The debugging of the runes of the runes is like a grasshopper after autumn,
The installation of the magic transmission loop is like the starlight of a full moon,
The paint of the magic free paint is like the giant red giant;
Oh my great Kerbal space plan,
After three sunrises and sunsets, your veil of mystery will be gently raised. β
This poem...... Well, sorry, Kabbalah already wants to pause laughing for a while.
"Ahem, it's almost done. Very good, keep up the progress, we deliver in a week. β
PS: Everyone, ask for some recommendation votes, and soon the brain hole will be officially launched.
