Chapter 2 The Gods Begin Construction
Luke's words had an unprecedented impact on Storm Cato.
When he arrived at the holy mountain from the tribe's mountain, although he felt that the holy mountain was extremely prosperous, it was still within his own acceptability. But when he came to Angry Waves, he found that it was a different world entirely. The abundance here is beyond his imagination, and the prosperity here is beyond his perception of prosperity.
He couldn't understand how it was possible for so many people to live in a city. And the clothes they wear and the food they eat are so exquisite, and it's even more unbelievable that everyone seems to be literate.
These are all things that only nobles are entitled to, and they are the daily life of every citizen in Angry Waves City.
Did the Duke of Celtic block industry from entering the Tedgar Hills from owning the barbarians at the bottom?
If he hadn't come to Raging Waves, Stormcato would have trusted Duke Celtic's words. The facts he was seeing now made Storm Cato question what he had always believed in.
"Mr. Luke...... No, Lord Governor of the Falling Star. I'm sorry...... My mind is messed up and I beg your pardon for saying something that I don't know is right or wrong. ”
Luke smiled and said, "A sage once said: Facts speak louder than words." I asked Karina to add your name to this Burning Sun Technical School's literacy training class, so you can go to class tonight!
Coconut also goes. ”
Coconut stared at her nose and asked, "I, am I going to class too?" Is it okay not to go? ”
"No! If you can't graduate from the literacy course, go on to the next course, and I don't have people here who only have muscles and no brains. Of course, you are really born with intellectual problems, and your teachers will tell me. ”
Coconut seemed to have no strength in his body: "Okay, I'll try my best to ......"
Storm Cato saluted Luke very gratefully, "Thank you, my lord!" ”
The rain showers outside stopped at some point, the dark clouds quickly dispersed, and the bright sunlight shone down, illuminating the room through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Luke looked at the weather outside and said to Coconut, "Go find Karina, let's go to the Cape District Machinery Factory." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Coconut is very positive about going out and playing, and runs to find Karina.
Luke stood up, and Storm Cato brought him a coat and hat from the hanger.
Luke put on his clothes, picked up his cane, and said to Storm Cato, "Come with me to the Cape Machinery Factory." ”
"Yes, sir!"
When the governor traveled, the convoy was immediately dispatched.
In addition to the Governor's Palace Guard and the Intelligence Bureau Special Forces, the Sandpaper Pretty Girl Boiling Team is also Luke's close guard.
As Luke's status in the empire grew, so did the Assassins. After the assassination of the Elder of the Glittering Gold, Luke strengthened his guards several times. Shelley went to the North, Sandpaper was promoted to the rank of Chamberlain, and the beautiful girl's powerful perception and telepathy have allowed them to crack several assassinations.
The convoy is launched.
Sandpaper sat beside Luke and grumbled in her peculiar mechanical voice, "Lord Governor, we've been so idle in your absence. Every day, it's either shopping or beauty manicure......"
Luke got into the car and was still discussing work with Karina, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and when he saw Sandpaper admiring his new manicure, he couldn't help but say angrily: "I know you're happy to be reunited, but don't spend all your time on sisterhood, and see the dragons flying over the city today?" ”
"See!" Speaking of the dragon, Sandpaper's attention was diverted: "This is the first time we've seen a dragon, it's really big!" I heard that Miss Sunny Sky once killed a dragon, and Miss Clear Sky is too powerful. News came from the imperial capital that Miss Sunny Sky had also defeated a very powerful angel.
When these dragons go to the imperial capital, they will only add some high-priced experimental materials to Miss Sunny Sky. ”
Sandpaper and her little sisters were blind to the clear sky, and were not at all pressured by the dragon's crossing.
Luke's attempt to use the dragon to motivate Sandpaper is apparently ineffective.
Forget it, let's let Clear Sky deal with this group of girls, Clear Sky can say a word more effectively than preaching for hours.
"If you're happy. I'll go to the Imperial Capital in a few days, and you'll be able to meet Miss Sunny Sky then. ”
"Really? When are we going to the Imperial Capital? ”
"Work hard, and after the affairs of Angry Waves City are dealt with, we will leave."
"Your Excellency, you can do your best! Come on! ”
What an unmotivated child.
At this time, Karina remembered something and said, "Your Excellency, today the General Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves City has cracked an assassination attempt against you. Because the case is a bit special, Chief Inspector Thomas doesn't care about making decisions on his own, could you please give me instructions? ”
Luke asked, "What's going on?" ”
Karina recounted how Nightingale and her fellow Assassins had come to Raging Waves to capture them.
Luke didn't expect the case to be so dramatic.
It was obvious that this was Nightingale's personal behavior, and the assassins she brought with her should all be ranger friends she knew, and if it was an assassin sent by Prince Alec, it would not be possible to be so unprofessional.
A stable job turned this group of Assassins against him!
"Where is the nightingale now?"
"Due to Miss Nightingale's special status, the assassination of you was not carried out and the threat was extremely low. So Chief Inspector Thomas sent her to the Palace of the Sicisay, where the Viscount Iscollan was in charge. ”
Luke thought about it for a moment and said, "Chief Inspector Thomas has done a good job in this matter. Since the people in the Potions Factory finally broke with the Nightingale, if they don't have a big problem with themselves, the CIA shouldn't bother them.
The nightingale was seized in the Palace of the Sicissai and entertained well. Let Viscount Iscoran send a letter to Prince Alec, and if His Royal Highness asks for someone, let the Nightingale go. ”
"Yes, Lord Doge. That's right...... The nightingale wants to see you. ”
Luke said very simply, "A poor woman, nothing to see." Go and see her on my behalf, and send her a message: I wish her and His Highness Alec happiness. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor."
Luke's Doge's Mansion is not far from the docks of Cape District, and it will be a short walk away.
The current Haijiao Harbor is a different picture.
After the Raging Waves City Government Department decided to rebuild Cape Harbor, due to the increase in Luke's position and power, the rebuilding plan was changed several times in succession. As a result, the rebuilt Cape Port is responsible for nearly two-fifths of the throughput of the entire Angry Waves City, and the entire Cape District is changing at a visible rate as the supporting infrastructure is delivered.
On the wharf of Haijiao Port, the new gantry crane is being installed and commissioned.
Next to it is a large industrial area consisting of a large new shipyard and a new machine factory. The factory is full of towering chimneys, and the white smoke that keeps coming out shows how busy the factory is inside.
Ever since Luke dug up orders for war supplies for the city, the heavy industry in the city has been basically working around the clock. After the capture of Songta Port by the Angry Waves Fleet and the Angry Waves Armored Assault Division, the convenient sea transportation led to a significant increase in military orders.
The machinery factory of the Yanyang Group in Haijiao District has just delivered the first batch of orders for war fortresses, and the second batch has been delivered to the door.
The sale of ships full of materials has stimulated the development of the shipbuilding industry, and all-metal warships and all-metal freighters are hot sellers. In order to complete the backlog of orders as soon as possible, led by Yanyang Group Shipbuilding Company and organized by the Innovation Society, a shipbuilding industry committee was established in Nutao City to implement overall management of shipbuilding related factories and enterprises in the city, establish the standardization of ships and accessories, and squeeze out the shipbuilding potential of Nutao City to the greatest extent.
The war did not have any negative impact on the economy of Angry Waves, but because Meteorite led the bureaucracy of Angry Waves into the center of the empire, making Angry Waves a more potential investment target.
As the fief of Count Nutao, Haijiao District is the most preferred investment target for all investors.
Once a dilapidated and hopeless district, it will be reborn and will soon become the twin core of the city with the central city.
Luke's popularity in Cape has reached an unprecedented level, and everyone who sees the convoy at the Doge's Palace will spontaneously give way and take off their hats.
Let Luke still remember the days when he led the spies all the way to the whistle.
Alas...... Can't go back!
Luke's arrival was warmly greeted by the mechanical director of the mechanical factory.
Mighty has given himself a new metal body, and although it is not yet fully mechanized, this full-system machine factory gives him hope for the future.
Knowing the purpose of Luke's visit, Vermeer took Luke directly into the underground part of the factory. The high-end machine development department of the machine shop in cooperation with the Oulu Academy and the Urban Alchemist Association brings together the world's best mechanical experts and technologies.
"We have completed the disassembly of the Titan prototype, and we have to admit that there are many steam machinery technologies in Artshire that are worthy of serious research and learning.
Based on your instructions, the New Titan development team has developed two models of Titans.
The technology of the Steam Titan is very mature, and as soon as the Mihil Steam Research Institute develops an implosion dual-drive steam engine, we will soon be able to produce a prototype.
The Magic Titan still has a lot of technical difficulties......"
Luke and Vermeer walked along the underground pipes, listening to Vermeer's reports on the progress of various development projects.
"It's okay to keep the development progress of all magic projects on track, and when the technology of elemental fusion reaction is more mature, many problems can be solved.
What's going on with the Ragnarok now? ”
Mighty opened an iron door for Lukla, and inside was a large production workshop. The workshop has a height of ten floors downwards and an equal height upwards. The walls around the workshop are covered with steel walkways and train tracks, and more than a dozen elevators with different functions shuttle up and down, and countless workers and engineers are busy inside.
Workers below are pouring molten steel from the steel mill into the mold. The magicians are using magic and alchemy, inscribed magic circles on solidified steel plates.
The arc shines welded steel plates, and engineers install mechanical parts and carefully lay out the pipelines.
In the middle is the steam engine that Luke got from the winter capital.
When he saw the building in progress, his eyes lit up.
"I never imagined that I could preside over the construction of such a great fortress worthy of a miracle.
Ragnarok...... If it flies, it will definitely make the whole world go crazy.
As you can see, Lord Doge, we are laying the keel and the bottom capsule casting for the Ragnarok. The construction of steel ships has produced excellent workers and engineers for us, and everything is now built in an orderly manner according to the drawings you provided.
It's just that a lot of the technology is too advanced, and I'm not sure if some of the equipment can keep up with the progress of the Ragnarok.
It...... Too much beyond this era. ”
The current Ragnarok is the same as the Zumwalt, and many of the technologies have not yet been developed, and the hull is being built.
It's no wonder that Wei Meng showed a lot of worries in addition to excitement.
If the equipment cannot be put in place after the hull is built, it is really more uncomfortable than not building it.
But Luke had no such worries, he was extremely confident in the Gods.
Although the Ragnarok is a little bit ahead, all of its technical indicators have been verified by real ships, which is the biggest difference from the Zumwalt ship.
"Director Weimeer, you have to have faith in the era we live in. After the first technical blowout triggered by the steam engine, the second technical blowout has arrived. For some time to come, new technologies that you can imagine and can't imagine will rain down like a thunderstorm just now.
All you have to do is monitor the progress of the Ragnarok and build it as fast as possible, and I don't want to see new equipment being built waiting for your deadline to come in. ”
Mighty didn't doubt Luke's words.
As the cooperation between the machine factory and the Oulu Academy and the City Alchemist Association deepened, the world-class technology possessed by the city of the Furious Waves opened his eyes. Many of the technical problems that their mechanical families found very troublesome were easily solved after being given to the relevant research institutes.
Powerful and almost inexhaustible technical support, so that the mechanical family in the machine factory is really like a fish in water.
This is an era that can break through the upper limits of people's imagination, and Mighty is instantly full of confidence in the Gods.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency...... I guarantee that the Ragnarok will be delivered on time and according to the construction schedule. ”
"The construction of the Ragnarok needs to be watched closely, and some of the technology in it can be used to develop the next generation of surface ships. Dreadnought could keep the Raging Waves Sea Power in the lead, but the barrier to entry was not high enough.
The next generation of the capital ship of Angry Waves must have a certain air combat capability. ”
Now full of confidence, he dares to take on any difficult project: "Obey, Lord Governor, I will tell the next generation of capital ship development team in Angry Waves City of your instructions." ”
While Luke and Mighty were chatting about the progress of the construction of the Gods, Storm Cato, who had come with him, stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
The limitations of his cognition made him not know what he was making, but it must have been very, very powerful for thousands of people to work together.
Can the Tedgar Hills make such a thing?
Apparently not!
Can the Duke of Celtic stop such a thing from entering the Tedgar Hills?
Apparently not!
