Act 271 Mission Abroad
A month and a half later, Stormwind, the former Earl's Palace, is now the Stormwind Palace.
"So this time my mission is to take a boat to the human kingdom in the south for a regular state visit?"
Looking at the surprised white steel, Commander Ren nodded as a matter of course.
"Are you really unprepared? This kind of thing you should have thought of a long time ago. ”
"No, I just don't really want to take a boat, especially after the existence of a creature like Naga has been confirmed in elven literature."
Bai Gang didn't like the sea, because as long as the ship sank at sea, he had to drown no matter how high his strength was, and there was no room for resistance, which made him feel very insecure.
"Rest assured, the 'Tempest' has been refitted, and the armament on it is sufficient to deal with ordinary emergencies."
Bai Gang looked at Commander Ren with a strange expression: "If you think that you can rest easy by adding a few 76mm high-level dual-purpose guns to a merchant ship and some close-in defense guns, then the 'Tempest' is indeed good enough." ”
Commander Ren shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "After all, your mission is a visit, have you ever seen the leader of a country enter another country by parachuting?"
Therefore, in the case of the unfriendly attitude of the Black Rock Kingdom, the only way to bypass them and directly deal with the other six kingdoms is to take a boat. ”
Bai Gang sighed resignedly: "Then who is with me?" Don't tell me Syrne is on the list. ”
"Your ninth squad, the professional diplomatic team led by Colonel Liu, and the Phantom Commando team of the squad are all people you are familiar with, and it shouldn't be a problem to cooperate.
As for Syrne, God, we're not crazy! How is it possible to let her go too!?
With Syrne's character, if she were to witness the exchange of interests in diplomacy, her perception of us would definitely drop, and it would affect our actions in the Principality of Black Thorns! ”
Bai Gang shrugged: "Then leave those dark things to us, it's actually quite good to live in your own world as a glorious and holy banner, everyone has their own things to do, and the world can be better if they perform their own duties, isn't it?"
If Syrne doesn't go, forget it, Gilnas's words......"
"No way!" Commander Ren stared at Bai Gang and said, "Are you going on a mission or traveling!?" If Gilnas goes, you still have the energy to work!? ”
"You underestimate my strength too much!" Bai Gang said unpleasantly, "I want to take her because she is a master of protective magic, and I can at least feel safer with her." ”
"No, Gilnas still has important research to do, and now we can't release people!" Commander Ren said, "But your safety is also important, so as soon as the lab was built, we asked Gilnath to build you a few gadgets." ”
Bai Gang frowned: "I haven't heard her say this kind of thing." ”
"It's Gilnas herself who won't let her, she wants to surprise you."
"Surprise?"
White steel did get a surprise, and there was more than one.
After arriving at Gilnas's laboratory, Baigang confiscated a total of three pieces of equipment.
The first is a set of soft armor that feels like thermal underwear.
But this inconspicuous white soft armor is made from the most advanced synthetic materials on earth, and it is lightweight and extremely tough enough to withstand the piercing attacks of sharp blades.
At the same time, Gilnath used the base's advanced micro-carving technology to enchant a powerful defensive magic on the soft armor, which automatically activates if the white steel is attacked enough to kill it.
While enchantment does not strengthen the armor itself, Gilnas' unique magical shield of defense can withstand most attacks, including physical attacks.
With this set of soft armor, it is not an exaggeration to say that you have a second life!
The only trouble is that activating the shield consumes too much mana, and each charge can only support the shield to be activated once.
The second piece of equipment is a box of magic grenades.
Gilnath researched how the White Steel interferes with spell casting, and then crafted a grenade-shaped scroll for the Forbidden Zone, which can be used in the same way as a real grenade.
Although the effect is a little worse than the one released by itself and the duration is limited, after all, it can increase the range of the forbidden demon, and sometimes it may have a miraculous effect.
As for the third piece, it is the one that surprises the white steel the most, because it is a multi-function watch! In addition to having the functions of normal technology products, Gilnath actually integrates the magic of [Detecting Evil] into it, and only needs to inject magic into it when using it!
This is very useful for white steel that does not detect evil magic.
Gilnas smiled and stood beside Bai Gang: "Shiro, do you like my gift?" ”
Bai Gang glanced at Gilnas worriedly: "Like is indeed like, but you shouldn't become Dr. Q of Stormwind City, right?" ”
"Dr. Q? What is that? ”
"It's nothing, just a lab maniac." Bai Gang changed the subject and said, "You really don't plan to go to the human kingdom with me?" ”
Gilnas shook her head without thinking about it:
"Don't even think about it! I don't want to deal with the human lords except you, and I'm no different from any other elves!
If you have that time, you might as well do more magic experiments, it's rare to have such favorable experimental conditions, how can you make good use of it?
You said it wasn't Maomao. ”
[Yes, you are right, my mistress. 】
"Maomao!?" Bai Gang said in surprise, "Don't you feel awkward to give such a name to artificial intelligence?" ”
Gilnas said as a matter of course: "Of course not! Don't you think it's funny? ”
"Okay, if you like it......"
After getting the equipment and forming the team for the trip, Bai Gang finally saw his fleet - the 4,260-ton armed merchant ship "Storm" and its sister ship "Black Thorn".
Both ships were equipped with two 76-mm dual-purpose gun turrets, two 730 close-in guns, and a number of anti-aircraft machine guns on the hull of the merchant ship.
It's okay to use it for self-defense, but you can't have much hope for combat effectiveness.
The most carried in the cargo holds of the two ships was aluminum, but not all of them were commonly used aluminum ingots, half of which were made into the style of coins, with different sizes and different values, the larger ones were the size of silver dollars in the Republic of China, and the rest were about the same size as one yuan, five jiao, and one dime.
The base is planning to meddle in the minting business, and it is much more convenient to use aluminum as currency than to settle with magic crystals or gold and silver all the time.
The remaining space on the ship was filled with sumptuous armor enchanted with miniature carvings, as well as earthly delicacies scheduled for banquets.
Once the goods and supplies were all ready to stop, White Steel began their journey to the human kingdom.
