Chapter 15 The origin of semi-finished products
Mike has a lot to say about the specific origin of the semi-finished products of short steel wires and small steel sheets that suddenly appeared. At first, it was said that the mysterious people gave him a reward for their tasks, and then it was a treasure unearthed from the ruins before the cataclysm, and then it became that he could change whatever he wanted with his boundless mana, and the current theory is that he used goblins and heterotopic creatures to make secret transactions.
Mike knows that everyone may not believe him, so every time he uses the small black room, he will ask Goku to find out the possible infiltrator, and then guard outside, not allowing anyone to enter, including Goku himself. Wukong's eyes are keen, and his perception is powerful, and he only needs to guard such a room of less than 100 square meters for more than an hour at a time, and no one can successfully infiltrate it.
Sermena was very curious, and she didn't believe Mike's brother's nonsense, and was determined to find out the truth herself. She tried the detection spell first, and found that Mike's small dark room was filled with lead plates, which could effectively shield the detection. She was about to sneak into the small dark room to observe Mike's actions, but it only proved Goku's ability, and all attempts were thrown out. Although she can sneak into the small dark room while Mike and Wukong are not there, Mike will dismantle the mold tools and put them in the space bag every time he finishes work, and all traces are also cleaned by the goblin, and Sermena can see those things that are very common in the workshop, some of which are still made by her, and she still can't research the reason why she has studied and studied. She also thought about getting information from the 60 goblin helpers who had been quarantined, but at first she felt that the goblins didn't know the key, and the focus was on the little black room, and then she went to Sentia and left for more than a week, and when she came back, she found that the little black house was gone, and then she was ready to focus on the goblins, but found that they were also gone......
Mr. Offitt was also very curious, but he was just an ordinary person, who knew neither magic nor lurking, and only got the messy answers from the side-knocking, so he hit his daughter with his idea.
Cecilia, who was practicing Japanese martial arts, was encouraged by Kena'er.
"Mike, where did that tightrope come from?" Cecilia knelt on the bed and leaned her head to the left, one of the moves she had been practicing lately, and it was said to have great power.
"How much do you want to know?" Mike couldn't help but pinch her nose.
"Would love to know. Cecilia's eyes blinked.
"If you can prove that you really want to know, I'll tell you. ”
"Then how do people prove it? Cecilia bit her finger.
"Well, well, if you're willing to eat lollipops, I think you'd like to know and tell you. ”
"Oh well. Cecilia thought this was very good, there were still some goods left after the attack on the Orfitte Chamber of Commerce, including a lot of lollipops, Cecilia liked it, and immediately took one and started to perform.
"You have to eat this to count. Mike pulled out his lollipop.
"I'm ignoring you......" Cecilia threw her lollipop and punched Mike a few more times, and ran away with a red face.
"What's the matter, Sissi, running so fast?" said Kenael, who was outside in the sun, wondering how things were going.
"I found out Mike was a big badass!
"How did he break it?"
"I'll tell you, he's ......" Cecilia was going to tell the story to the trusty sister Kenael, but it occurred to her that Kenar had eaten Mike's lollipop the night before! ”
Kenar looked at Cecilia as she ran away, knowing she couldn't count on it.
"Why are you Sissi, I see her running so fast. Kenael considered trying it out for herself, she was only 18 years old and very curious.
"I didn't do anything. She probably wanted to have some fun, so she ran away on her own. Although Mike was acting innocent, Kena had already guessed what was going on.
"Oh oh oh, you didn't do anything, she suddenly wanted to fish so badly that she ran away on her own. Kenael picked up the lollipop that had been discarded after a few bites and looked at it with interest.
Mike's face was a little hung up, and he decided to attack and defend. "Kena'er, you look so fascinated, don't you want to eat it too? ”
Kena gave him a blank look and went out to bask in the sun. She had already figured it out, and she didn't casually ask Mike about secrets that she didn't want to say, otherwise what would she do if she was hated. In particular, this secret Mike obviously attaches great importance to it, and it has nothing to do with himself, and if he tries everything to find out, the consequences may be serious.
The wise Lord Thrall had never found out about such a thing, but when she was reminded by Sermena, she immediately became curious.
"Brother Mike, can you change anything other than that needle?"
"Of course, a powerful mage like me can change almost anything he wants. Didn't you see it when I changed the house? ”
"Can you conjure up the Colossus Optimus Prime?" Sal knew that Optimus Prime was Mike's former companion who had been killed in a decisive battle with Megatron.
"Alas, even the most powerful mages have a limit to their abilities......" Mike shook his head and sighed.
"Well, that's a pity. Sal was disappointed.
When Sermena asks about Mike's secret, Thrall answers her question nicely: "Brother Mike's abilities aren't good enough to conjure up the Costume Colossus Optimus Prime. ”
Sermena was speechless at this answer......
She tried to get Goku to release the water again, but Goku flatly refused.
Goku himself was of course curious, so he asked Mike privately at first.
"Well, of course, a special method was used, and only the teacher and I know about it at the moment. If you really want to know, I can tell you about it. But this secret is very important, and I can't guarantee whether you will be killed by the teacher after you know it. The goblins are going to be wiped out anyway, though they know almost nothing. ”
"No, I'll just ask casually. Goku flatly refuses, then throws his curiosity out of the clouds and dedicates himself to the promising job of being a janitor.
For the equipment in the small black room, although Goku was involved in the manufacturing, because the key parts were done by Mike or Ovo, he knew as much as Sermena. Wukong analyzed it carefully and felt that the little black house had neither a furnace nor a magic array, so it did not have the processing conditions at all. Therefore, he thinks that Mike must be just pretending to be in it, and that even if the goblins see anything, it is all because of illusions, and the purpose is just to hide people's eyes.
Goku carefully observed Mike for several days and found that he suddenly had a dimensional hole at some point. That thing is a more advanced storage equipment than a space bag, stacked like a handkerchief, and when unfolded, it is a storage space with a diameter of 1.5m and a depth of 2.5m, and there is no limit to the weight. The space bag Sermena is the largest, a large backpack of about 30 kilograms, with an internal space of about 7.5 cubic meters and a weight limit of no more than 700 kilograms.
As a result, Goku was convinced of his own judgment: the semi-finished product must have been made elsewhere, and then it was sent in the dimensional cave using teleportation, and Mike pretended to produce it in the small black room, but in fact he only took out a little bit of the semi-finished product.
The reason for this is simple: Mike or Owo has indeed mastered a new processing technology, which has a large cost advantage over the current process, and wants to use it to make money but must keep it strictly secret.
With their character, most of them want to build a production base somewhere where no one can find it. However, in this way, all kinds of daily necessities are very problematic, so only the key processes are used to manufacture semi-finished products, and other simple processes are completed in other places where labor and materials are easily available.
You can produce with kobolds in the Dragon Palace, but Mike is not there but chooses to build a new territory to catch goblins, most likely because he wants to kill multiple birds with one stone, both to engage in production and develop towns, and to train his subordinates.
Mike is looking for a good place right now. First of all, it is easy to develop, it is bordered by the galena mountain range in the north with a mild climate, and the south is adjacent to the moon with abundant sea water, which is suitable for the development of agriculture, and the nearest city is also far away from 100 kilometers away by sea in a straight line, which is not easy to be attacked. The second is that labor is easy to obtain, because food is less difficult to obtain, there is no city nearby, and no one regularly clears it, and goblins and gnolls are infested, and thousands can be caught. Again, the transportation is very convenient, the Moon Sea and the Falling Star Sea, a huge inland sea, are connected by rivers, and the water transportation can cover half of the continent, so it is very convenient to do whatever you want after development. Finally, there is abundant wind, and a large number of windmills can be built by the sea, which provides important energy for the town.
As for the security issues that plagued the Trailblazers, Goku didn't think there was any need to worry about it at all. The biggest threat in the vicinity is the Leadpeak Dragon Palace, Mike has a good relationship with them, maybe he wanted to weaken or befriend them for this reason in the first place. Besides, even if the relationship is not good, what if it is really necessary to get rid of them, can Ovo still let them live? As for the rampant goblin gnolls that have been solved, the mercenary group has been dispatched at the beginning to disperse all the nearby threatening tribes, and in the future, as long as they are cleared to prevent them from reuniting, as they are doing now, they will not pose a threat at all. Wild dragons are not a problem, most of them are the guard dragons of the Leadfeng Dragon Palace, how could they come to trouble Sal, the little master of the Dragon Palace. The only problem is Koria and the Fish-Man Pirates, and it's hard to say if Mike can handle it, but even if he can't, he should be able to find someone to do it.
Thinking about it this way, maybe Mike deliberately lost the nine-ring tin staff, the purpose was to find an excuse to stay here and open a base, and the "First Five-Year Plan and Development Outline of Sanzang Town" is likely to be a plan he carefully formulated.
Wukong can be said to be full of complaints about the master and apprentice: one or two will only use force, completely ignoring the feelings of others, if you have something to say, you can't say it well, that thing is very precious, even if it can solve Kolya, what if the tin rod is sold, even if you can snatch it back, it's not good to get some damage......
