The second floor of Mel's studio next door to the barbecue restaurant.

Xia Feng barely managed to find a stool in a messy room full of various experimental equipment and materials. Sitting on a stool, he complained to Mel as he rubbed his hand at the large bag on his head that had just been shot by a rubber bullet fired by a mechanical dog.

"You broken dog is not smart at all, you even beat your own people, ouch, it hurts." Mel corrected as he leaned against the bench with a cup of coffee.

"That's not a dog, it's Mibo 2 and Mibo 3." "It doesn't matter what it's called, it's not smart at all anyway, it's dangerous, and it is recommended to scrap it."

Mel didn't feel any guilt, but said justifiably. "You can't blame Mibo, your facial information was entered before, but you look in the mirror yourself, and now that you're missing an eye, Mibo will definitely not be able to recognize it."

"I'm ......" "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I'll show you something, hehe."

..... It was obviously Xia Feng who came to the door, but Mel didn't ask him about his purpose at all, and just showed her "masterpiece" to herself.

After rummaging through a pile of drawings on the edge of the bench for a long time, Mel returned to Xia Feng with a huge piece of paper. "Here, look at this, isn't it handsome?"

"What's this?" "See for yourself."

Xia Feng has never been interested in mechanical research and development, and when he took the drawings, he just looked at them perfunctorily. "Well, it's handsome, it's handsome....... Pretty ........"

As the eyes focused on this conceptual design drawing, Xia Feng's perfunctory voice became smaller and smaller, and at the same time, his gaze became more and more solemn. This drawing is very detailed, one floor, two floors, three floors, four floors, power room, monitoring room, manufacturing area, living area, research and development area, control center......

Looking at the entire drawing, this huge ship facility is in full view. .....

Seeing that he was getting more and more engrossed, Mel sipped his coffee triumphantly. "It's a super big guy, how about it, it's not bad."

Xia Feng stared at the behemoth in this drawing, and muttered subconsciously in his mouth. "Luo ...... Rhode Island ......."

Mel frowned. "What an island, this is not an island, this is a mobile ship designed by me, I have a name in mind, it is called the Black Feather Mobile Battleship!"

Then, regardless of whether Xia Feng understood it or not, Mel began to talk to himself. "It's been my dream to build this big thing, and I have been stuck in the conception stage before, but after my recent efforts, I finally completed the preliminary design drawings."

Xia Feng still looked at this drawing and asked subconsciously. "It's ..... Boats. ”

Mel nodded. "Yes, it's a mobile ship powered by source stones, and in my design, it can not only travel on the sea, but also have the ability to travel on land like a moving city."

"Amphibious warships?" "Well..... It can be said that compared with the bulky mobile city, its movement speed and controllability are extremely high, and the traditional metal material is abandoned, and the special composite material of Rhine Life is adopted, which can be said to be integrated and solid! ”

Xia Feng listened attentively. "Mel, how many people can this thing theoretically carry?"

As for the number of people carried, Mel seems to have misunderstood the meaning of Xia Feng. "Don't think about it, this thing can't fit the people of a city, and it's not designed with the original intention of moving the city, in order to maximize functionality and combat, its structure is quite compact, and it doesn't have a civilian resettlement environment, if it operates normally, it needs to be equipped with about 400 people in various facilities, if you only consider transporting people, you can load tens of thousands of people at most in the limit state."

..... Carrying tens of thousands of people, this shows how huge this mobile ship is.

Although Xia Feng didn't know much about some of the technical terms Mel said, he could probably understand a little bit of the meaning. This ship is theoretically similar to the city of the city, both of which use source stones to provide energy to achieve movement, but in terms of detail design, it is completely different from the city of the city.

If I had to describe it, it would be the difference between the bus and the Bugatti Veyron. Although both are passenger cars, and the buses are larger, the car factories that produce the buses are unable to make such a sophisticated thing.

In addition, there are differences in the original design intention, mobile cities are evacuation facilities used to avoid natural disasters and minimize economic losses. However, the mobile ships designed by Mel are of strategic significance, and even subvert the war to a "super artifact".

With Xia Feng's cognition, just looking at this design drawing, he can't help but associate it with Rhode Island. However, Mel's next words changed his mind, and in terms of innovation, he clearly underestimated Mel's ambitions.

.... Some people say that there is a fine line between a genius and a madman, but he believes that Mel is not only a genius, but also a madman.

Because only a madman can theoretically design this kind of unrealistic, even unrealistic, and even unrealistic thing with the existing worldview. "Mel, can you make this drawing?"

Mel's answer was decisive. "I can't."

Xia Feng was stunned, he didn't expect Mel to deny his design without hesitation. "Why? Is there a shortage of raw materials? Or is it understaffed? If you really want to build it, I can figure it out. ”

"No, it's not." Mel put down the coffee cup in her hand, her cheeks faded from her optimistic demeanor for the first time, and between her eyebrows, there was a regret of powerlessness.

"If I just move on land and in the sea, as long as there are enough materials and manpower, I can build it sooner or later, but in my complete design, this is a ship that carries dreams, and it carries dreams that cannot be realized no matter what." Hearing Mel's words, Xia Feng seemed to have guessed something.

"Mel, don't you ......" Mel stood next to Xia Feng and pointed to the bottom of the ship in this drawing.

"See this, it's a thruster." "This ....."

Mel raised the corners of her mouth, and there was a special emotion in her voice that intertwined pride and helplessness. "In my design, it's not just about running on land and sea, have you noticed that whenever people talk about their dreams, they unconsciously look at the sky."

"Sky?" "Yes, my ultimate dream is for this ship to soar in the sky, looking down on this devastated land, carrying dreams, and flying to a hopeful tomorrow."

At this, Mel smiled self-deprecatingly. "Heh, it sounds silly, how could such a behemoth fly into the sky, even if it really flies, it will only be a flash in the pan."

After saying this, Mel whispered another sentence. "But I think that dreams still have to be had, the world is very big, as long as you keep flying, you will always find a paradise without pain."

...... In the face of Mel's sudden second speech, Xia Feng didn't feel stupid, nor did he feel that she was incompetent.

Lowering his head, he gazed deeply once again at the massive ship that could fly into the sky in the mind of its creator. In his mouth, he whispered four words.

"Ark of Tomorrow ......."
