Seeing that the two of us were so fanatical, Walmart hurriedly poured cold water on us. "You'd better not have too much hope, even if you can really build a flying machine, it is estimated that it is not something that ordinary people can control."
Rose, who was standing next to her, asked, "Don't we have an air turbine?" If it could be miniaturized, how about using it to build airplanes? ā
Walmart shook her head. "It is difficult to reduce the volume of the air turbine itself, and the volume of the Magic Crystal Power Extractor is very large, even if it is used in a single thruster, it will not be much smaller."
"In other words, there is no problem in building a super large air fortress, but you can't build a small plane, right?"
"Almost!"
I said to Walmart: "Don't worry about it for now, your technical department just needs to study it." Success is best, failure is nothing. By the way, the most urgent thing right now is to look into the issue of the energy extractor. ā
"What kind of energy extractor?" Ashford was alert to the discovery of a key problem.
"You know it's useless, because this technique involves a rare mineral, and that mineral is just that little in total. Even if we work out this technology, we can only use it ourselves, so don't ask. By the way, you didn't come all the way to see my new city, did you? ā
Ashford smiled and said, "Of course not. I have one more important piece of news for you. ā
"What's the news?"
"News from Timor-Leste."
As soon as I heard the news from the East Timorese side, I immediately came to my senses. Last time East Timor was bought by the Japanese, and then I was going to grab East Timor from it. But I heard Asford say that the Americans also had to do it, so I didn't do it, and then I happened to encounter the Four Divine Beasts incident, which was delayed for a long time. In the end, it's been almost half a month now, and I don't know how things are going. I said to Ashuford, "That land is now occupied by the Americans?" ā
Asford immediately shook his head: "If it is occupied by the Americans, what will I come to you for?" ā
"Huh? The Americans didn't grab that piece of land? ā
Ashford nodded: "No, they failed. ā
"So the Japanese occupied there? How so? Are the Japanese so powerful? ā
"You do underestimate the power of the Japanese, but that land is not as Japanese as you think. ā
"I'm confused by you, what the hell is going on?"
"It's complicated." Ashford explains: "On the final day, the Japanese sent a large number of warships to the area and concentrated a very large number of forces to defend the city. There are a lot of people on the American side, but there is one thing that goes wrong. The Americans who had entered the war had not consulted with each other beforehand, they all wanted to take the land for themselves, and in the end they had not yet exchanged fire with the Japanese, and they themselves had already lost both. ā
"And after that?"
"After that, it's even more interesting." Ashford smiled and said, "Hehe, did your observation ship only report here?" ā
Asford, this guy is really good at selling off. In fact, I had already sent an observation ship to monitor the scene before the fighting began on the East Timorese side, so I can supposedly know what happened. But people are not as good as heaven. At that time, there was heavy fog in the waters off Timor-Leste, and three of my observation ships ran aground. Another one washed up on the coast, and in the end, one of the two remaining ships had a mechanical failure and was forced to turn back, while the other one was unlucky enough to be hit by a stray bullet fired by the Americans while watching the battle, so my intelligence was only here, and then our own side was also busy, and we couldn't control what happened to the society.
I have no choice but to drag him to the luxurious reception room on the top of Issinger to serve tea and water while carrying information. Ashuford admired the artwork in my luxurious reception room for a long time and put it on the shelves before he said, "Actually, it's not just you who is behind the scenes. I'm also confused. ā
"How?" "The Americans were mainly divided into three forces involved in the battle for East Timor at that time, and your monitoring ship saw these three forces, and they accidentally sank your observation ship in the melee, am I right?"
"Yes." I nodded. "And then?"
"Then it was lively." Asford said with a smile: "After the American fleet melee ended, the three sides understood that they were no longer capable of snatching East Timor from the Japanese, so they wisely chose to retreat. I thought that was the end of the matter, who knew that another fleet had appeared, and this fleet was still an acquaintance of mine. ā
"Your acquaintance?"
Ashuford said: "Actually, you have seen it, I don't know if you still remember." His name is Siro. Padrik is the heir of the German Padrik family. You've met once. That guy is my main competitor in Germany. After the Americans left, Slopaderick's fleet arrived, and quickly took over the American position and began to approach East Timor. The sheer number of this fleet was frightening, and no one in my intelligence network in Germany had told me that Padraik had so many warships. Fortunately, he showed his strength for this battle, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been plotted. ā
"What was the outcome of their fight with the Japanese?"
Ashford immediately said: "They and Japan have not exchanged fire at all. ā
"Huh? How could there be no firefight? Could it be that they were there to help the Japanese defend? ā
"It's not."
"Then why not exchange fire."
Because a new fleet has arrived. ā
"Holy! Who's out of nowhere? This battle is really attracting the attention of the world! ā
Asford said, "That's why I said that this battle is particularly chaotic!" Padrak's fleet was about to make contact with the Japanese when a new fleet suddenly appeared, a fleet from Australia. I didn't even know there was another such fleet before. ā
"Isn't it special?"
"Special, very special. Although Padraik's fleet is not as super warships as yours, their strength should not be underestimated, at least their numbers cannot be easily eliminated. But this Australian fleet was victorious. Their fleet numbered only half as many ships as Padrak's fleet, but they easily settled the battle. ā
"They don't have missiles, do they?"
"That's not the case." Asford's words reassured me a little, but what he said later made me worry again. Asford said: "All the warships in this Australian fleet are equipped with a super fast cannon, the firepower of this cannon is not outstanding, my people say that the power of that cannonball is far less powerful than the cannonball made by your guild, but the rate of fire of that cannon is simply crazy. The guns on those battleships were almost like semi-automatic rifles, almost two rounds in three seconds. Although the power of a single shell is not good, no one can withstand such a dense barrage! Padraik's fleet had only time to complete two salvos of artillery fire, and it was all over. ā
"That's too fierce, isn't it?"
"In my opinion, this kind of cannon is completely based on numbers, and if the same battleship is hit by too many bullets at the same time, the shock wave generated by the explosion will interfere with each other. The battleship was not pierced by the shells, but was scattered by the cross-interference of the shock waves. Even if your ship is equipped with super armor, it will be scattered if it can't resist high-frequency shockwaves. The thicker the armor, the more likely it is to break, so your large ships will not be as reliable as small ships when encountering them. ā
I shook my head: "No, my battleships have a mirage system, they can't see us, and my range is definitely above theirs." Even if they rush near us and find out where we are, I have an anti-air sound barrier system that can easily intercept barrage attacks such as shrapnel grenades. Super battleships are not called super battleships because they are big. All the equipment of the super battleship is super, don't think that my battleship can be sunk by a light yƬ. ā
Asford said: "Padrak also said that his fleet was invincible, and it was not sunk in the end?" ā
"It's different, you can't be sure if you don't meet and fight together. Let's not discuss this now, tell me what happened? What about after the sinking of Padrak's fleet? This fleet and the Japanese did it? ā
Asford shook his head again: "After the Australian fleet wiped out Padrak's fleet, it really wanted to fight the Japanese, but at this time, a fleet of the American guild appeared. Because they came late, they just avoided the scuffle between the three American guilds, but they ran into the Australian fleet. ā
"Padrak's fleet can't beat the fleet of the Australians, isn't this new fleet tantamount to death?"
"It turned out to be the opposite." Ashford smiled and said, "This time it was so dramatic. The kind of artillery of the Australian fleet is really powerful. But the speed at which they consume ammunition is as terrifying as their power. After taking out Padrak's fleet, the Australian fleet had almost used up all its shells, and the remaining shells were not enough to form a barrage, and their shells were too powerful. A single launch makes no sense. ā
"You're saying they were wiped out without shells?"
"The Australians knew that their artillery was a waste of shells, so they had a lot of supply ships in the back of their fleet, but they had just finished fighting the Americans with Padrak's fleet, and they didn't have time to transport shells from the supply ships, so they were served by the Americans."
"It's tragic!"
Ashuford excitedly said, "The tragic is still to come!" The Americans also lost some warships after destroying the Australian fleet, after all, this American guild was not a super guild, and as a result, their warships were ready to be maintained first when they were wounded, and the Japanese attacked the East Timor area. But the Japanese watched the show for a long time, and they couldn't bear it anymore, so they decided to participate in the show themselves. ā
"And then that American guild is finished?"
Ashford nodded. "The guild's fleet was beaten by the Japanese fleet before it even set up a formation, and in the end not even a single ship ran away."
"So the Japanese must have succeeded in defending? Why do you say that the Japanese didn't catch it? ā
"The Japanese also have an idea with you. They thought that they had finally succeeded in defending, and they had stockpiled a large number of unmanned and ammunition to prepare for this attack, but they did not expect that the attackers themselves would fight each other, and finally let them pick up a ready-made bargain. The Japanese hadn't had time to celebrate the victory. Another new fleet has appeared. ā
"There's a new guy coming up?"
Asford laughed: "The fleet is very famous this time, and you even met with them." ā
"Meet with me? Could it be the South Korean fleet? ā
"Just a hint, it's a silver-white battleship."
"Silvery ......? Could it be the Imperial Fleet? The British are also wrenched in? ā
"Haha! Who called the wood in East Timor so valuable, and who didn't look at it? The British Imperial Fleet had never left European waters before, but this time there were indeed many Japanese fleets that rushed from Europe to Asia, but it was not enough to meet the old naval powers. In a total of twenty minutes, the British sent all the Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea. ā
"So that says East Timor has been charged by the British?"
"It's not!" Ashford's answer startled me.
"Isn't there a new fleet?"
"There is a new fleet, but this one is not very good. This new fleet was French and there were not many of them. Their battle with the British was also quickly over, and the French lost a third of their ships, and the rest ran back. The British lost a total of one-third of their ships from their appearance to their victory over them. However, the remaining warships cooperated with the ground forces to capture the cities on land and take East Timor. "Then how do you say that the British didn't get the city?"
"They grabbed it, but they couldn't hold it. The power of the Americans has reappeared. And this time it was attacked from land. The Americans and the British fought in the forest, and the British fleet could not see the target and could not support it, so they could only rely on men to fight. The British fought too hard with the Japanese at first, and by this time there were not many people left, and they were quickly defeated. However, the British, with their superior firepower, managed to keep the Americans in the forest, and they eventually retained the easternmost city, Tutuala. The British suppressed the small city with the artillery of the fleet, and the Americans felt that the losses would be too great if they fought again, so they did not continue the attack. But suddenly the French fleet returned. The British fleet suffered heavy losses from the sneak attack, and although the French did not gain much, they let the British completely wipe out. Tutuara was occupied by the French, but the French fleet remained with only three ships and ran aground in the shallows. ā
"So the Americans control most of the area?"
"Originally, the Americans did get their hands on most of the area, but the Indonesians suddenly appeared and started to fight back."
"Indonesians, you say, exiled?"
"Yes. They arrived at the day of the siege, so they concentrated their forces on the Americans by surprise. Originally, the American guild had already suffered a very strict loss, and now it was finally completely unbearable to come back again. Fortunately, the Indonesians were not very strong, and the Americans were divided. The land in East Timor, which is not connected to the mainland, and the adjacent Indonesian city of Ketamenanu were all taken by the Indonesians. Now Indonesia has been restored. ā
"What?"
"Funny, right? I thought it was unbelievable that they were restored so quickly, but those two cities were not very large. It doesn't matter. ā
I asked, "What about the big forest in the middle of East Timor?" Occupied by the Americans? ā
"There are also some problems going on in that land. The Japanese actually built a small village in the woods, and no one knew about it, so the Japanese took over a small area there, and then the East Timorese exiles also launched a counterattack, and they took back the capital Dili from the Americans. ā
"So East Timor has also been restored?"
"Yes. East Timor, like Indonesia, has been restored, but the land area has shrunk considerably. Then a new force appeared, and a Canadian fleet ran over. Although their strength is not good, after all, the people here are not able to fight the ground, and no one has the strength to fight back against them. The Americans, knowing that it was impossible to defend such a large area, voluntarily abandoned the two cities and took control of a relatively large village to the south, and the Canadians came and occupied a seaside village. The remaining land was occupied by the Italians who arrived later. ā
"Holy! Such a big place is actually crowded with the power of so many countries! ā
"That's why this time is so interesting!"
"It's a good thing I didn't get into this troubled water, otherwise it would have been me who was unlucky!"
Ashuford said: "Speaking of which, this land has been divided by everyone, in fact, no one has fallen into the good, everyone's investment is very large, and what's worse is that it is not certain who will belong in the end, I think the final layout there may have to change." ā
"It doesn't matter who he becomes, I won't interfere anymore anyway, that damn place is a bottomless pit!"
"Haha! I don't know who shouted to enter the insertion? ā
"Didn't I know it was so complicated at the time!" It occurred to me that Ashford had come to me and said that there must be a reason for this. "Ashuford, you can't tell me this to be as simple as letting me know the current situation, right?"
"Of course." Ashford immediately said, "To put it bluntly, everyone is not robbing the land there for the sake of those trees. ā
"Then what are you looking for me for?"
Ashford said, "You have a large diving dock, don't you?" ā
"How do you know?" I don't remember suing Ashford! Could it be that we have spies?
Asford said disapprerovingly: "The last time you attacked the Japanese islands in the storm belt, you were captured by the Japanese, that guy is not small, huh?" Can you tell me how big the earth is? ā
"It's about the size of six aircraft carriers."
Ashford thought about it for a moment and then suddenly said, "Not bad." Big enough. Let's work together, right? Smuggling with that thing? ā
"Smuggling?"
"I have a large lumberjack in my guild, and you happen to have a large diving dock. Why don't we go to East Timor together and steal wood? You help me transport the logger to Timor-Leste, and then we start cutting down trees, and your puppet is just right for carrying the cut trees. At my speeds, I think you can fill up your large dive dock in three or four hours. As long as we can do it more than ten times, we will be equivalent to capturing the cities of East Timor. Anyway, the net profit left after deducting the operating and maintenance expenses and war expenses of those trees is about 10 ships, and we steal them out for nothing. ā
"People say that Germans are as rigid as wood, why do I think you look like a loach?"
"My grandmother was Jewish!"
"No wonder!" I patted my head and said, "With the speed and carrying capacity of the Great White Shark, if you really want to do this, you can really make a big profit, but it's ......!" ā
"What's wrong?"
"How do you calculate dividends?"
Ashuford replied briskly: "Thirty-seven accounts." You are seven and I am three. ā
"Deal. But I'm only in charge of transportation, and your people are responsible for cutting down trees and guarding the police. ā
"No problem." Ah Xiufu said with a smile: "As long as we can transport a boat back, we will have a net profit of 1 million crystal coins, and I can also get 300,000 yuan in the 37 account, which is very profitable!" ā
"The great white shark is not very fast, if it is transported from East Timor to Eshingra, is this too far?"
Asford smiled and said, "Will I be unprepared??" He looked around and asked, "Are there any charts?" ā
"No, let's go to the conference room, there's over there."
Once in the conference room, Ashford quickly found a place on the map of the world drawn on the floor. "This is the empty space between the cities of East Timor, and my people found a cave here. Inside, there is an underground river connected to the depths of the forest. Your dive dock can wait outside the cave, we modify the lumberjack to make it go underwater, and then we go down the river into the forest to cut the wood. All your men are to cloud the felled trees into the river. The current will naturally wash the wood into the sea, and you can load it. After turning a boat, we will go this way. Here there is a nameless island that we bought, and where a city was established some time ago, and which is now German territory. There are a lot of teleportation arrays in the city that can teleport wood directly to our cities in Germany. What do you think? Convenient, right? ā
"It's inconvenient not to know. You're bad enough anyway! ā
"And when will your dock depart?" Asford looked anxious.
"What are you doing in a hurry?"
Ashuford said: "Those guys have just carved up the land of East Timor now, and they must be busy preparing the city to accumulate strength at this time, and we can cut it boldly when we go in to smuggle timber, so I think the sooner the better." ā
"I said, how do you burn your eyebrows? The Great White Shark is now in the harbor of Tianmen Island, and can be set off as soon as it needs to. ā
"That's great." Asford smiled and said, "I'm going to prepare the lumberjack, let's gather on Nameless Island, right?" ā
"The speed of the great white shark is relatively slow, and it will not be there until tomorrow night at the earliest, so you don't have to be in such a hurry."
Asford waved his hand as he stood up and ran out: "I still have to modify the lumberjack, don't you do it soon!" Anyway, we'll meet over there tomorrow night. ā
"Okay."
After Ashford left the Transnational Teleportation Array, our city was finally back on shore. I didn't fly when I came back, we drove all the way back from the water. Due to the shallowness of the seabed to the shore, we had to put down the track system. Drive directly up to the bottom of the sea. Before the city was fully ashore, a figure was seen floating.
"Erlang Zhenjun?" I was surprised to see Erlang God.
When Jiro God saw me, he immediately floated over. "Where have you gone? It's hard for me to find it for a while. ā
"Went out for a walk. How? Do you have anything to do with me? ā
"Of course there are things." Jiro Shinto: "Part of it is a business and part of it is a private matter. ā
"Shall we go to the reception room then?"
"Lead the way."
When I got to the reception room, I told everyone to go about their own business and closed the door. "Zhenjun is here to use Suzaku as a reference this time, right?" I guess the private matter that Erlang God said is very likely**This is this matter.
Erlang God immediately said: "This is a private matter, we will talk about it later, first semi-business." First of all, the question about your Gathering Tower has come to fruition. ā
"Oh? How does the Jade Emperor plan to compensate me? ā
Erlang God didn't answer and asked, "You know the black unicorn, right?" ā
"Yes. I have a Black Kirin mission here, and I've heard about him before. How? Is this compensation related to the Black Kirin? ā
Erlang God nodded: "After the birth of the black unicorn, the heavenly court was in an uproar ......!" ā
"Pause!" Seeing that Erlang God was about to start telling the story, I quickly shouted to stop, those broken things in heaven and earth are estimated to be unfinished without talking about them for three or five hours, I just want to know the key issues. "I've heard of the Black Kirin's background. You can just talk about compensation. ā
"Now that you know, I'll be brief. Although the Black Qilin is now in the eighteenth layer of hell, everyone didn't want to send the black unicorn to guard the eighteenth layer of hell at first. After discussion, the Heavenly Court united with some hidden immortals to build a tower together. This divine pagoda named Qilin Pagoda was originally used to suppress the ominous aura on the black unicorn, and it was indeed effective at first, but later as the black unicorn's mana increased, the tower could not be stopped. ā
"And then?"
Then the black unicorn ran out of the tower, and the Nine Heavenly Gods and Buddhas jointly opened the entrance to the eighteenth layer of hellland, and everyone disguised the entrance and placed it under the Qilin Pagoda. In the end, the Qilin Elder came forward to trick the Black Qilin into the tower, and the unknown Black Qilin found that something was wrong as soon as he entered, and then he wanted to run. But the Nine Heavenly Gods and Buddhas struck together and forced him into the gates of hell. ā
"Strange, how is the local version different when I hear it?"
Erlang looked at me strangely: "What are you listening to?" ā
"I heard that it was the Black Qilin himself who knew that he was a bad thing, so he willingly guarded the passage of the eighteenth layer of hell. So he himself went to the eighteenth layer of hell. Why are you talking about being beaten into the ground? ā
Erlang God immediately whispered: "The one you heard is the superficial statement that is claimed to the outside world, you don't know what the eighteenth layer of hell is, right?" How could anyone go in voluntarily? But if it spreads, Heavenly Court unites all kinds of immortals to join forces to kill the black unicorn. This reputation is not very good, so after that, it was said that he went in by himself. ā
"Holy! You're so dark, huh? ā
"It's not us, it's them." Erlang God defended: "I wasn't a god at that time! The immortals who participated when the black unicorn was imprisoned are basically gone now, and there are not many people who really know the truth. ā
"And how do you know?"
"Because I have this." He gestured to the third eye on the top of his head. "The eyes of heaven and earth are connected to the spirits of heaven and earth. Considerable past and future. But you just know about this matter yourself, but don't go out and talk nonsense, you and I don't have good fruit to eat if you mess with those bosses! ā
"Yes, yes. Let's start with the issue of compensation. ā
"Oh, yes." Erlang God continued: "Of course, the black unicorn was very unwilling after being beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell, and then slammed into that entrance. Originally, the eighteenth layer of hell had no entrance, and there was an artifact connecting various spaces under the seventeenth layer of hell in the Netherworld, which was equivalent to a one-way portal, and it was the only thing that connected the eighteenth layer of hell. However, at that time, the gods joined forces to open a new passage under the Qilin Pagoda. This passage is connected to the eighteen layers of hell, and its power is definitely not ordinary. It took a long time for the Nine Heavens Divine Buddha to close the door after locking the black unicorn inside, but the black unicorn collided. There was another crack in the door. ā
"Holy! Isn't the black unicorn able to come out of there? ā
"No, I can't. The name of the door of space is a door, which is actually very different from a door. The black unicorn was strong, and it also smashed the gate through the space. That's because it still had the coordinates of this space at that time, but the coordinates would change over time after the gate was completely closed, and he couldn't find the location anymore. The remaining crack wasn't enough for him to get through, so it didn't mean anything to him. ā
"What does this have to do with my compensation?"
"Of course it does. Because the compensation is the unicorn pagoda. ā
"Is this tower powerful?"
Erlang God whispered: "Actually, it should be said that it is very dangerous. ā
"Huh? What do you mean? ā
"The crack has not been able to be completely closed since it was knocked open, and it is still suppressed by the divine power of the pagoda in the tower. The black unicorn can't get over that crack, but those demons and monsters who are smaller than the black unicorn can come over. After such a long time, the divine power seal on the tower has gradually loosened, and now from time to time there will be some ghosts and ghosts. ā
"Holy. You don't want to pay and don't give me a haunted tower! ā
Erlang God said indifferently: "Isn't your original tower just to attract ghosts?" Now this one is just more direct, sending the strongest unjust ghosts directly from the bottom of hell, guaranteed to be better than your original one. ā
"The problem is that the original ghost can be controlled, what should you do if you don't control it and kill us together?"
Erlang God suddenly took out a gossip mirror for me. "So we're giving this thing away."
"What is this?" I took the gossip mirror and looked at it. The shape is very quaint, the outside is wood, the center is gold, and there are a large number of strange symbols on both sides.
Erlang God explained: "This is the Soul Binding Mirror, which belongs to the high-level artifact, if it weren't for the fact that you were expected to open up the territory in the future, Heavenly Court would not have given you this thing." ā
"What is this thing for?"
"This mirror can forcibly seal the ghost into a living organism for 24 hours. And it can work continuously. When the time comes to open the tower door and let the ghosts escape, the mirror will automatically seal the ghosts that pass near it into the bodies of nearby creatures. ā
"Doesn't that mean a ghost? Is this a high-level artifact? Is it still a fart to be accused by a ghost? It's better not to have any! ā
Erlang God immediately said: "Of course, being controlled by ghosts can't be regarded as a high-level artifact, but this is indeed a high-level artifact." Because after the seal, it is not that you are accused by the ghost, but that you will gain part of the power of this ghost. Until it is dismantled, this ghost will become a source of energy for you to use. ā
"What if it's lifted?"
"As long as you don't take the initiative to separate, you won't be lifted until the time is over. When it is about to be lifted, you will return to the side of the Qilin Pagoda, there is a soul sucking array on the back of the tower, you separate the ghost in front of the array, and it will be sucked back into the tower as soon as it comes out, and there will be no danger. But don't overtime it, or when the time is up, it will come up to you and it will control you. ā
