"What the hell is this!"

Alfran slammed a book to the ground, the book jumped, a corner of the hardcover was broken, and the pages were turned open, revealing the words inside.

"At this moment, I am flying in a majestic symphony. The sky overhead is a turquoise water, which resembles a huge, crystal-clear sapphire in the light of the midday sun and refracted by the sparkling sea.

"Next to me is a silver all-metal house. Next to it, more than a dozen identical dwellings are rising from the ground. Titan-like golems are swinging their powerful arms, ramming the sandy ground with their giant fists. Not far away, countless three-meter, no, maybe five-meter-tall giant magic engineering vehicles are ready to pave a new road to connect these fantastic residences.

"Amazing technology has given us the power to break new ground, I don't know how Governor Duck of Stanford did it, but he did, and at this moment, in the huge man-made air cushion at the bottom of the sea, beside the roaring construction site, I looked up at the sea and the sky, and I was in awe. Are we offending the majesty of the god of the sea, or are we living from the tyranny of the gods, or are we abandoned, loathed, and exiled by the gods?

"This is not exile. This is our new home for mankind, and after thousands of years of arduous trekking on the path of ignorance and fanaticism, we have finally opened the door of wisdom locked by the King of the Gods, and behind that is the generous embrace of the god of the sea!

"This is not exile. There is no end to exploration and discovery, the vast ocean opens its arms to us, and the next one will be the vast expanse of the sky. As far as our gaze goes, so far our footprints go.

"This is not exile. Like lighting the first torch, putting on the first animal skin, breaking off the first branch that fought with wild beasts, we need to say goodbye to the courage of the past! Take out your courage and move towards a future full of opportunities, for your family, for your destiny, come on, I will wait for you at Stanford!"

Alfran's eyes almost burst into flames, staring at the new book called "The Island of Machinery" lying on the ground, the beautiful flower-style author's signature burning his heart like a red-hot iron.

"Sinclair. March 12, 1645 at the Stamford Floating Island Submarine Construction Site. ”

"This damn bastard, he's laughing at me, laughing at me!"

The staff next to him smiled, "Please calm your anger, Speaker, no, Your Excellency the Governor." You know, Mr. Sinclair is a family. Frightened by an unexpected kidnapping, he writes whimsical texts. Although this fantasy sold very well, I checked the entry and exit records, and the workers who took the boat to Stanford, in three days, well, there were twenty-six people in all. ”

Alfran said gloomily: "This guy is talking nonsense and disturbing the minds of the people. I must not sit idly by. ”

"If the persecution is too tight, the foolish people will naturally be full of resentment and will be easily provoked. And isn't the recent situation a little tense?"

"You mean, let the big conglomerates take such a small step back?"

"It's said that Stanford is paying six times more than our average, and although I don't believe it, the workers over there must be more motivated than us, right? Stanford's cleaning boxes and building materials sell very well on our side, but our stuff doesn't make it into their circle. This kind of floating island, which does not rely on tourism to make money, is indeed an anomaly. ”

"I see what you mean. The eating appearance of the big conglomerates is a bit ugly. However, I was able to sit in this seat thanks to their help, and as soon as I sat down, I turned my face......"

"Whoever said they were going to turn their faces, you can do a survey, sort out the black things they did that didn't matter so much, put the materials in front of their faces, and they will naturally know how far to go. Now the restoration of prosperity comes first, and they are all conscientious gentlemen, so they will naturally take the overall situation into account. ”

"Well, justice has been done, and the town hall is busy with the election, and they can breathe a sigh of relief and receive a special allowance. ”

"Your Excellency, you are so considerate of your subordinates. A hundred times stronger than Mr. Rushford. ”

Alfran smiled, "How's that old thing doing now?"

"Continue to pretend to be sick at home. Cripples always like to stay with fools. ”

At this moment, the fool in the mouth of the two was talking to the commander of the Navy, Nimitz.

"Your Excellency Governor, the strength of Stamford Floating Island is far stronger than we thought. Engineering equipment can work on the bottom of the sea, and so can warships. Once we fight at sea, I am not sure that our navy will be able to defeat the enemy underwater. ”

Luxford leaned comfortably in the soft chair: "You sent someone?"

"Yes, and saw what they wanted us to see. That's very ......," Nimitz gestured a few times, "amazing." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"The first is the Psychic Hive, a broken device used by the Atalantis to control the North Sea Monsters. Stanford partially restored it. Our alchemist also carried out a detailed examination, confirming that it could only emit specific simple fluctuations. It's almost impossible to control humans. ”

"There are no absolutes, but the conditions are not met. We just need to limit this condition. As for their attitude...... "Luxford owes himself forward: "Are they willing to share technology?"

"Yes. ”

Luxford laughed: "That's impossible, they will definitely excuse it for various reasons." However, not giving it to Alfran shows that these guys have a bit of brains. Go on. ”

"Their production capacity is quite impressive, and the cost control is horribly low. Now, Stanford's boxed lunch is the only one, and all the guys who try to imitate it have lost all their money. ”

"How low?"

"Lower than the price of our raw materials. All raw materials for all products are produced in-house. ”

Rustford raised his eyebrows: "Dumping?"

"I don't know. However, many families have begun to use it instead of three meals a day, which is cheap. What's wrong?"

"If I'm Alfran, I'm going to find an excuse to get Stamford back now, and Alfran is going to be cut. ”

"It's good for Alfran to pay a sum of money, and if you want to confiscate it, isn't it also a sentence?"

"It's not that simple, that Duck has a foreign background, and once a foreign power injects money into Stanford, it will be dangerous to want to confiscate it. ”

Nimitz was taken aback.

Luxford said: "Openly took Sinclair in, and swaggered him out of the book, do you think this Duck is a soft persimmon? He is deliberately provoking, once the arrogant Alfran can't hold back and attack him, you look at it, there must be foreign interference!"

"He dares!"

"The decision is up to Alfran. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid. Nimitz, your dismissal order will not be issued until next month, and until then, you must do your best to keep the Navy on the ground!"

"Yes. But what's the benefit of Duck doing this?"

"Behind him is the Rohr Chamber of Commerce. It was a charter company with close ties to Ara and New Tenodiran. ”

Nimitz stood up: "If you ignore him, he will become a commercial stronghold, and if he does it, he will attract foreign armed intervention, and then it will become a commercial stronghold?"

Rustford nodded: "If Alfran is smart enough, he will do it now." But ......"

"But what?"

"The provocation should be after all the preparations are made, right? He's going to tease Alfran now, it's a little strange......"

As soon as Rushford finished speaking, a servant walked briskly and handed him a piece of paper. Luxford looked at it a few times, and his face became very strange.

Nimitz hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The results of the investigation showed that he bought Stanford out of his own pocket, and then paid for the construction of the project out of his own pocket, and in the process only accepted investment from the local Red Coral Chamber of Commerce, and there was no foreign interference at all - did he think that he and Red Coral died fast enough?"
