Chapter 124: Jealousy
After the pleasure of playing, it is natural that the daily work is more intense, and there are more important and profound reasons why we stay in this small base.
This is the cradle of the future Orlan Empire's super weapon floating fleet, and if you only look at the equipment, industrial base, craftsmen and engineer level, it is the top in the entire continent.
Originally, according to the original plan, the Northern Lights could be floated in two weeks, but it was only floating.
Even if the difference between semi-finished products and finished products is very different, due to the existence of the contract, there is only a chance to find an opportunity to make up for it with other spare parts, of course, due to the gap in industrial level, it is impossible to complete it here.
Due to the invasion of the Sea Clan, there was a force majeure change in the execution of the contract, but it unexpectedly gave us enough time, if we didn't cherish it, it would be too wasteful, so as soon as I entered the base, I issued an order to complete the construction of the Northern Lights with high specifications and high quality.
"A bad working environment will only make workers hate and even hate their employers, and they will only find ways to cope with their errands, while a pleasant environment is conducive to providing workers with motivation and labor productivity, and is also conducive to the birth of inspirational masterpieces."
In order to let everyone live and work here with peace of mind, I tried every means to improve the working conditions, such as raising the standard of food, theatrical performances, football matches, and even in order to improve the food, I secretly went out of the underwater exit to fish a few times.
With Trixi's Song of the Tides, I'm afraid that the Sea Clans still don't know how their fish are gone, and even if they can think of someone poaching, they will only think of other tribes to do it.
The effect of these recreational activities is very good. After all, entertainment is for people in this world. It's too scarce. The only drawback is that it seems to be a bit overdone, which makes those engineers unhappy and can't work with peace of mind.
But soon, with a large number of undead creatures in action, recovered engineers in command, and our gentlemen and knights in help, the progress was once again ahead of its time.
I didn't change much of the original boat design, because that's really not my specialty. But when it comes to weapon systems, I put forward my own wishes.
"Eight mage towers and thirty-two cannons? How can that be enough, give me sixteen mage towers and sixty-four cannons! No, I want thirty mage towers and a hundred heavy cannons! β
"Not having enough energy? Don't worry, I've got a plan. If you don't have enough space, you won't have a turret on a turret, you won't build a small turret between the turret and the turret, don't think about symmetry, we need more turrets, bigger barrels! β
"Remember. You rookie engineers, don't go for useless beauty and decoration. Put all your ingenuity on how to increase the number of turrets, increase the caliber of the muzzle, read with me! More is beauty, big is good, caliber is justice, turret is truth! Weak RPGs give me three hundred deaths! β
"What? You don't know what an RPG is? It's a fool who rides on explosives and shoots himself out of the pang to be a meat ball. β
Well, so far, my multi-turret mission has been relatively smooth, at least these days, as the Northern Lights have more turrets, ships are becoming more and more deformed to contain industrial beauty, and more and more engineers are feeling the beauty of industry.
While working, there are already engineers shouting "100 billion stars, 100 billion turrets, without turrets there is nothing!" "All turrets are equal, but some turrets are more equal than others!" I praise you, great multi-turret. β
But there are always people who are unmoved.
ββ¦β¦ As long as the almost impossible energy supply problem can be solved, the renovation of the fort is understandable, but some additional work is really unnecessary. If you don't add any additional decorations, you're done. β
Piacenza, the chief engineer of the Northern Lights, is a rather old-fashioned old scholar who doesn't understand the renovation plan I have improvised in.
Decoration process? Indeed, according to the orthodox shipbuilding ideas, the precious dragon scales, dragon skin sewn on the ship's board, the world's rare magic gems into the core of the ship, in addition to the bag to show off the wealth, I really can't think of what role can be played, is a typical layman leadership insider, in the eyes of experts, the most likely thing is to have a problem.
But I'm not really building ships, and I don't know how to build ships at all.
"Necromantic Creation."
In a sense, I have always regarded him as a theoretical and systematic science, just as modern Western medicine began with the dissection of corpses and the analysis of the functions of human organs, and the necromancers in this world also began with the analysis of corpses, and they agreed to see the human body as a patchwork of parts (organs).
In that life, there have been many techniques such as organ transplantation, human body modification, and human cloning responsibility, and in this life, just because of the existence of magic, it is a rookie necromancer who is more crazy than the craziest scientists and surgeons, and it is simply not difficult to transplant an organ or something, and it is not as difficult to find a bunch of parts to put together a person.
After all, the surgeon still has to consider whether the person can go through the transformation operation alive, and the necromancer can make do with it alive and dead, which is also their dividing line, because the necromancer realized the importance of the soul, so they simply made the equation of 'life = body + soul", and then challenged the creator's authority without scruples, and if the surgeon dismantles the person into parts, let alone whether he can live if he puts it back, as long as the news leaks, he should be convicted of intentional homicide the next day.
If you insist on finding an analogy, this is like a computer divided into hardware and software, and the necromancer also divides life into two parts, the body is the hardware, and the soul is the software, as long as the body can finally act under the drive of the soul, the process or something, whether the body and the soul are matched or something, it doesn't matter at all.
Therefore, just as those DIY computer enthusiasts always like to toss around strange machines, for necromancers, as long as they have a soul and a body, they can also play with whatever they want, and after countless centuries, there are many kinds of undead creations that cannot be classified. And a good body and a strong soul. It is the most beloved creation material of every necromancer.
"Blasphemy of life, blasphemy? The only difference between us and the gods is that they have more experience than we do. The skills are superior to ours, but we will also improve, and one day we will create beings beyond their creations. β
That's what the arrogant necromancers say, and that's exactly what they do, and as one of the most famous experts on necromantic creation in recent times, I have incorporated a new theory into undead creationβthe theory of undead evolution.
Once the zombie body is formed, it is difficult to evolve automatically, and the rigidity of the life form will lead to the fixation of the upper limit of strength, which is indeed a bottleneck that the undead creature can easily encounter. But it's not impossible to break through.
My solution is to first make the body and soul perfectly combined, and then through the transformation of the soul, let the soul driven by strong feelings and desires in turn drive the body to evolve.
Adam (gluttony), Omar (arrogance), Bester (anger), and Heloise (greed) are able to grow because they have a strong and paranoid soul.
Although the core of the theory is simple, it is not so easy to do, and I can proudly say that only my seven deadly sins have achieved this growing undead who is constantly growing like the living, and the core technique is only mastered by me.
Well, having said that. Someone had almost guessed what I was going to do.
Yes, I don't know how to build ships at all. So I'm going to turn the Northern Lights into a living super undead!
Precious dragon skins and dragon scales are sewn on the deck and side of the ship, seemingly extravagant ornaments, but in fact they are used to conjure spirits, as for whether intercepting Hydra's soul will cause the wrath of Lady Storm...... Anyway, I've already offended, and no matter how completely offended, it's nothing, and she probably won't find out that I did it.
Of course, it doesn't make much sense just to conjure spirits, the intelligence of the sea monster is generally not high, and the soul fragments that come from the soul after the death of the war are even more incomplete products in the mutilated products, which will cause serious negative effects, simply put, intelligence reduction and berserk, and it is still not useful without deep processing.
So, I'm going to put on an "operating system" on it, an equally powerful soul.
"Marsolit, are you ready?"
"Okay, Lord Roland, it's all ready."
At my command, the voice of a young man reverberated back and forth in the cabin, the Blood Emperor was already doomed to death the moment he inhaled the poisonous blood, and I communicated with him while the ice temporarily spared his life.
He still has unfulfilled long-cherished wishes, and is willing to continue to walk the world as a half-dead man, and as the price of saving him, if I can successfully preserve his soul intact and give him the strength to take revenge, he is "willing" to serve me for a hundred years, and if I can help him fulfill his long-cherished wish, that service will continue indefinitely.
"Damus, the dragon hunter archer, killed my daughter and wife, and I want to take revenge on him and those behind him! He's dead? No, no, it was Damus III who died, and it was his master, Damus I, who killed my wife and daughter! They are a special inheritance, the second was also Damus I don't know where the second and the first are there, but the emperor of the Orlan Empire must know the way, and that clan has served the emperor from generation to generation! β
Well, until Cloven is back to talking, don't let Marsolit know him.
Of course, since I have accepted the transformation of my undead, I naturally don't have to worry about his loyalty.
Transforming a demigod-level blood mage into a fleshless lich was a waste, and it just so happened that I needed a strong soul to steer the ship, and Masolit needed strength, so the two hit it off.
In the bridge of the Northern Lights, Masollet's lower body itself has merged with the bridge to everything, only the upper body remains outside, the heart of the hydra beats slightly in front of him, and with the drive of the heart, another set of energy cycles in the giant ship begins, which belongs to the necromancer's patent.
At this time, Marsolit was already considered an undead creature, but his body was still cold and poisonous, although he had done some camouflage modification, but it was not much better, and in order to avoid the current yin and yang face scaring the children, he still took the initiative to ask for a mask.
He seemed to close his eyes in contemplation, but a lot of data flowed in front of him, and in fact he was controlling and sorting out the situation of the entire ship, making the most pre-start and post-launch fine-tuning.
But seeing this serious man, I was just happy that the person I entrusted me with was reliable, but I fell into depression inexplicably.
"Your Excellency. What happened to you? β
"That. Inexplicably a little frustrated. Just take a break. β
That's all I can say, do I still want to shout my displeasure to the sky and ask for a cuter ship controller?
"Daddy! Why are everyone else sweet and cute ship girls smiling in sailor suits, but I only have a yin-yang face ship man with a mask here, the will of the universe! Is this decent? Can it be exchanged? β
"Of course, how about Rosemary? That's a beautiful woman. β
Well, the will of the universe will not answer such an unnutritious question, but Heloise will not let go of any opportunity to hit me.
From a yin-yang face to a yin-yang person? I thought about it. Still firmly refused, if we were in Rosemary's body now (I feel so awkward about that), I wonder if she would use the ship's authority to peek into the bathing of all the male crew members......
"Don't insult me! I also have aesthetics and choices, what are those ugly men to look at! My taste is not that bad! β
Do you just deny that you don't want to see ugly men? Will the good-looking ones be peeked at? Rosemary's roar from the fatebox revealed her heart's desire, and I was glad that I had not made this most likely tragic choice, but had chosen Marsolit, and this time the gentlemen finally had a normal person, congratulations, congratulations.
"That's right. My lord, the dragon skin on my left is 17% larger than on my right. β
"It's fine. Wait for the startup to be automatically corrected. β
"Oh, my lord, my second and ninth barrels are a little bent, can you straighten them for me?"
"Probably not, it would be obvious if the fort was bent."
"You can't be mistaken, the second barrel is bent about 2% on the right, and the ninth is bent by 0.5% on the left, and you can see it if you look closely. By the way, and whether the bucket on the left deck can be placed in the middle, this left and right asymmetry is uncomfortable. β
"And whether the bonsai that are arranged on the left and right can be kept symmetrical, and now there are three more on the left than on the right, which makes people unaccustomed to it."
"By the way, can the portrait on the wall over there help straighten it, it's crooked thirty degrees, and I look so uncomfortable."
Hearing this, I immediately understood, how could there be normal people in the gentleman's group, thinking of the neat and meticulous appearance of the red-robed mage that day, I suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be a deep obsessive-compulsive disorder!"
Well, the endless nagging of obsessive-compulsive patients continues, from the pattern of the deck of the ship to the pattern on the sail, from the style of the bow on the cable to the pattern of the crew's uniform, all sorts of inconsequential information comes a fatigue bombardment.
Ordinary obsessive-compulsive disorder can probably only entangle themselves and their surroundings, and after this Masolite becomes a ship, his body has expanded countless times, and there are too many things to be tangled up.
His obsessive-compulsive disorder is fine, but the bitter thing is that I have to accept his opinion.
Left and right imbalance? No way.
Up and down not on it? Not even more.
The left deck is cleaner than the right deck? How can you bear it, if you don't clean the right one, you will stain the left one for me!
The beard is not shaved and the clothes are not neat? Needless to say, get out of the boat!
I began to question my decision in the constant buzz, whether to change to a gentleman shipwreck who might peep, or to continue to use this nagging obsessive-compulsive ship man, and finally, the long-awaited words reached my ears.
"My lord, I'm ready, may I ask if you want to start it?"
"Great! Ahem, I mean, now that you're ready, don't talk nonsense, let's get started. β
With my command, a pale green light enveloped this fleet, obviously no one controlled it, the searchlight on the front of the ship suddenly turned on, as if the giant beast opened its eyes, the Northern Lights woke up, he lived!
On the ship, a large number of low-level undead creatures are strangely melting, and they will merge with the ship's bones and ship plates to become the real skeleton of this undead beast, and on the side of the ship's normal energy circulation pipe, the transparent tube is flowing with green liquid, which is the poisonous blood from Hydra, and it is also the new blood circulation system of this giant beast.
The dragon skin on the ship was actually slowly spreading normally, and the countless magic patterns on the ship began to spread, and the skin and nervous system of the giant beast were also progressing well.
None of the people had retreated, except for me and Heloise, while Rosemary's lifebox kept nagging "This is not magic!" ", "How is this possible", "This is completely out of line with the classical theory of the creation of the dead".
What makes people helpless, but on the other side, the big engineer Piacenza is nagging "this is not scientific" and "this is too unreasonable." "This completely encompasses all shipbuilding theories."
It is naturally impossible for a creature to have two systems, as the roaring nine-headed phantom begins to merge with the hull of the ship, the dragon blood circulation and energy pipeline begin to merge, the dragon skin and dragon scales on the outer edge of the ship are rising wildly, and soon, they will become the real shell of the ship, and the various magic patterns engraved in it will also really play the role of nerves and organs.
After the sacrifice of the undead, the keel and deck are also thickening and thickening, and countless searchlights, probes are floating in the air, and they will be the eyes of Marsolit.
The mage towers on it all have extra layers of dragon skin defense, and those magic crystal heavy cannons have completely changed their appearance, and the cannon body has more dragon mouth carvings, and judging from the dark green flash in it, it is not only the appearance that has changed.
Before it was awakened, it was a patched ship, but after awakening, the cyan dragon skin became the most gorgeous livery, and the Aurora Aurora, with its metal shell, was both a supership and a breathing dragon.
There are 25 mage towers, 27 green dragon rotten magic crystal heavy cannons, 127 heavy engineering cannons (not that I don't want to install more, they have been piled up for three layers, and there is really no place), and there is a dragon breath main gun in the bow and stern of the ship.
"Great, Marsolit, oh no, it's time to call you 'jealousy.'"
"Yes, Your Highness, jealousy is at your service. Well, can you straighten the barrel for me now? They seem to be more curved. By the way, I'm a little embarrassed, your fifth button seems to be wrong, can you change it back, it's very uncomfortable. (To be continued......)
