Chapter 1688: Site Selection
"Sebastin, don't get excited, speak slowly, maybe Alfie can find something that we have overlooked. Master Madison didn't want Sebastian to mention the matter of Camp Calus, but seeing that the matter had reached this point, he decided to simply uncover the scar and remind Sebastian to be as detailed as possible.
Sebastian glanced at Master Madison gratefully, nodded at him, signaled that he was fine, and then continued, "Remember the secret location I mentioned earlier that Xiao Yun inadvertently broke into?"
"Well, of course I do. Let me guess if that secret location is the base from which the Armada will be built?" Alfie's speculation convinced Sebastian completely. This kind of keen intuition and wisdom is by no means possessed by ordinary people.
Before Sebastian could say anything, Master Madison exclaimed, "This can't be! How did you guess that?"
Master Madison's speculation is not unreasonable, Xiao Yun, who has a similar talent, can inadvertently break into there, and Alfie, who has the aura of the Son of Victory, is of course likely to enter there, although even Alfie himself didn't know that he had this aura at the time, but the existence of this kind of thing has nothing to do with whether he knows it or not.
"What are you kidding, it's all just my guess. If you think about it, did you give me a chance to wander around the camp at that time, and at that time I was even eating and was watched, but how could I know the secret location?" As soon as Master Madison spoke, Alfie flew like a cat with his tail stepped on, and it seemed that his resentment against Master Madison would not be relieved for a while.
"Tell me the basis for your speculation. Sebastian calmly gave Alfie a chance to show off, he understood that only in this way could he dilute the anger in Alfie's heart, and in essence, Alfie was still a childish guy.
"There are many reasons. I'll just say about the two main ones. Alfie really said proudly like a treasure: "First, the construction of the Invincible Armada must be in a place where there is water, and the coast of the Sea of Mist is certainly the best choice, but I heard that after the cataclysm, the Sea of Mist has also become quite unstable, and there are often tsunamis, and anyone can think that the construction site may be in the Sea of Mist, so it will lose the effect of secrecy, so it has a vast water area similar to the Sea of Mist, and the Ambunar River, which is mostly calm all year round, is naturally the best choice." ”
"It's impossible to build an armada under the nose of Camp Calus, a war fortress that can control the entire Great River Basin! I didn't know that you were the Imperial Marshal, and this natural option was ruled out by me. Even someone as smart as me has been blind spots, let alone others?" Alfie actually admired Sebastian's choice in his heart, not everyone had the courage and courage to build the Armada on a great river surrounded by aliens and thieves.
"Now that you show your true face, naturally this obstacle does not exist, and the location of the Calus Fortress is too good, so if it were me, I am afraid that the construction plant would also be placed there. Alfie didn't forget to brush her face with a few layers of gold water.
"And what about the second reason?" asked Sebastian. The first reason, if it comes out, is actually mediocre, in fact, many people can think of it, but this is not the most important reason why he chose there. He wanted to see if Alfie could guess the second reason, which was theoretically more likely than the others.
"The second reason, of course, is the Ingneier Laboratory. If I'm not mistaken, you have a lot of dealings with that dwarf from Dobby, right? I'm sure the ship drawings that Augusta gave to the Empire must be very sophisticated, and with your poor mechanical engineering skills, it will not be easy to understand them, and Dobby's help will be no problem. That guy is an impostor, but he does have two brushes when it comes to mechanical engineering—well, is that enough?" Alfie asked triumphantly. He had already gotten the answer from the incredulous expressions of Sebastian and Master Madison.
"Exactly as you say. Dobby's presence was really a big part of why I chose to be there, he was our construction consultant. Seeing that Alfie guessed the real reason as expected, Sebastian did not shy away from confessing that he would never deliberately hide anything for the sake of his own face.
"Tsk, it's true~" Alfie pouted disdainfully, "Dobby, that parallel import, actually became your adviser in building the Invincible Armada! No wonder you invested so much time and resources to build a mere 1,000 warships in the end, tsk, I'm sure that functionally speaking, these warships are not up to 60% of the design function on Augusta's drawings!"
Sebastian looked at Alfie seriously again, this guy always surprises him, it seems that Alfie's talent in mechanical engineering should not be underestimated, because the data he casually estimated was almost the same as the real data.
To be precise, even if Dobby helped to refer to the drawings left by Augusta, the finished warship they built in the end could only exert 59.7% of the theoretical power!
"How did you estimate this number?" Master Madison next to him couldn't help but ask, his concern for this matter was more than the discomfort of being scolded by Alfie again.
"Hmph, just look at the long-distance observation etiquette on the Thunder Roar today!" Alfi said coldly, he still hadn't forgiven Master Madison, so naturally he wouldn't have a good face.
"So you were aware of it then?" Master Madison was startled, could it be that Alfie had already noticed something.
"Of course not, otherwise you think I'd be tricked here so easily by you, and help you make a potion of destruction?" Alfie was angry at the mention of this, "It's just that after Marshal Sebastian revealed his true face, looking back, you can find that the clumsy remote viewing etiquette is indeed Dobby's style, but the clever and exquisite design inside is obviously from Augusta's handiwork." Then the answer is obvious, it was Dobby who plagiarized Augusta's design, and finally created such a four-like, as for the efficacy - at most about 60% of the original design. ”
"You can deduce the power of the entire Armada from that?" asked Master Madison in surprise, Alfie apparently suspicious of generalization.
"With Dobi's qualifications, it is impossible to make a big improvement in a short period of time, and judging from the construction time of the long-range viewing ceremony, it should still be after the Invincible Armada, and even the long-range viewing ceremony can only play sixty percent of the effect, so it would be good if the Invincible Armada could have sixty percent power!" Alfie said confidently.
