Although the old pirate Blooddread Archduke has made up his mind to become a Riddler, his assistance is real.

Captain Paula made a decision at midnight that day that she wanted to take advantage of this rare fortune.

So at midnight, Captain Paula and several of his henchmen ran to meet the Scarlet Archon, forcing Miriam to get out of bed and change her clothes and hold a reception ceremony in the executive compound.

This is a big deal indeed.

If Paula can bring more airships to Translancia and transform them into weapons of war, it means that Murphy will have an additional truly usable air force in addition to solo pilots like vampires.

While some of the aspiring manufacturers of the young players have begun to privately prepare for the construction of wooden planes, Murphy apparently doesn't have that much time to wait for them to revisit the space path.

According to the deduction of some mysterious "big guys" on the forum, even with the technical support of the real world, with the skills and resources that players have now, it is not so easy to reproduce the World War I-level aircraft in Transnesia.

Especially when he has a full set of drawings in his hands, but it took two months to not even get a single internal combustion engine.

The mud sauce looks unreliable, but he is a professional engineer, the kind with a certificate! Even a professional like him can't handle it, and it's obviously unrealistic to expect players to brainstorm a plane.

The industrial base of Translancia is too weak, and the smooth operation of the arsenal still depends on the various industrial instruments that Governor Murphy has "robbed" everywhere, and it is a real fantasy to expect such a machine to complete industrialization.

In this case, it would be great to be able to rely on external connections to get an airship formation.

Even if the airship cannot be armed with the connection of the port of Chardor, as long as it is driven back, even if it is the most stupid way of "throwing grenades out of the cockpit" in the previous World War air combat, it is an important upgrade in the means of strike.

But both Murphy and Miriam knew that there was no urgency.

Captain Paula also has to go through the relationship little by little, and she has to carefully cover up her secret dealings with the Translancians, otherwise the Council of Steam Lords will punish her, and she really can't handle this kind of thing as a small airship owner.

But Murphy now has a tentative connection.

So, while Paula's crew feasted at the official reception restaurant in the Crimson Keep, run by Chef Chauvin himself, and roared in a few carriages to Treasure Cove to enjoy the good life, Murphy returned to the ruins at the bottom of the Vulture Corridor.

He found the old flywheel, and said bluntly:

"Can your old babe who runs the black market for halflings get his hands on an airship? Can you modify the Arithmetic Orb for airships? ”

"Huh?"

This question was a puzzle for the old flywheel, who had been working all night thinking about complex engineering problems, but the gloomy fellow's mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately reacted and said:

"So, you're going to replace the instrument core on the airship with the arithmetic orb I cracked, so as to bypass the supervision of the Steamlord's group of fools and turn the halfling airship into a weapon of war? No, Murphy!

It's not that it can't be done at the technical level, but the technical problems are easy to solve.

I'll admit you're doing a good job, but don't forget that the best intelligence agencies on the continent are in the hands of the Steam Lords, and it only takes one use of your airship weapon to get the Council of Lords to ban you.

It's not just because we're lucky that halflings can spend a thousand years in peace and security in this chaotic continent, although the Steam Lords appear on the continent as harmless to humans and animals, they are not really stupid.

They have a huge intelligence network in their hands, so that they can get all kinds of information at the first time and make judgments.

It's something you can't get around it.

So, my advice to you is to stay on top of your forces, and if this strategy can only be used once, make sure you have enough airship formations for you to use, and my old baby can help you collect those second-hand airships for resale, and let your partner take them under your command in the name of acquisition.

But there can't be too many, and with what I know about those idiots, a maximum of ten small old airships would be enough to get their attention. ”

"Great idea!"

Murphy nodded, but then he asked with a puzzled look in his eyes:

"You seem to have a big opinion of the Steam Lords, why are you so enthusiastic about breaking their rules?"

"Because they're a bunch of fools!"

The old flywheel scolded in a violent tone:

"My mentor had advised them before he died, to keep the port of Chardeau out of the real world, as they did, so that the halflings would never realize that the chaos and danger of the continent would someday happen.

Halflings cannot isolate themselves from the mainland!

We are also part of this world, and we must be part of it and not pretend nothing happened like the ostriche!

The Steam Lords thought they were protecting the people, but they weren't!

Well, well, I don't have any special feelings for the fools who live in Port Chardo and think that there is peace in the world.

I'm just not worth it for my mentor!

My mentor was one of the founders of steam engineering, and he had dedicated his life to engineering and the port of Chardo, but the idiots ignored his warnings and continued to practice that silly isolationism.

Little Bach also thought that this would not work, so she went to the Tower of the Ring.

Minks also knew that this would not work, so he pressed for more foreign students to be recruited in the engineering college.

You see, my brothers and sisters and I have conflicts, but we also have something in common, which makes us diehards in the eyes of the Steam Lords, who see us as unstable.

That's a bunch of fools!

Someday they will have to pay for their stubbornness, and it's my favorite thing to do to get them in trouble, and that's how my old baby and I got together.

Oh, I suddenly had a genius idea! ”

Old Flywheel let out an eerie shrill laugh, and he coughed twice, and said to Murphy:

"My old darling can help your collaborator buy the old airship in the name of the company's expansion, she is well connected in this area, and you can also form a new company through your men in the port of Chardo and place orders in the airship factory.

Our halfling airship technology has been developed for hundreds of years and has become a process production.

It takes up to two or three months from the time an order is placed to the completion of production of a new airship, and I received the news a month ago that one or two airship factories have been on the verge of bankruptcy because of poor management, and they are now eager for orders to come back to life.

This desire can be exploited to conceal important information.

Well, business competition among halflings has always been brutal.

As long as you're fast enough and the points are accurate enough, you'll be able to have five or ten new airships before the Steamlords ban them.

My advice to you is, make it big!

The bigger, the better!

My Flywheel Consortium can even advance some of the funds, but the biggest airship belongs to me! I had to have an aerial lab that could be moved, and not so easily tracked.

I can get Dina to return to Port Chardo to help you with this. ”

"It's really a ghost to have a treasure like you in the halfling city."

Murphy looked at the old flywheel, which had become so interested in giving trouble to the Steam Lords, that he couldn't help but admire:

"You guy really has a backbone, so the installation and debugging of the arithmetic orb after the airship gets it will be handed over to you?"

"No problem."

The old flywheel waved his hands and said:

"Debugging a ship is 30,000 gold coins, a fixed price! If you want to ask me to make you the blueprints for the modification of the armed airship, then add another 10,000.

I advise you to hurry up and raise money.

It takes a lot of money to buy an old airship or build a new airship, and from what I've observed these days, I can tell you that your finances in Transcia are very, very unhealthy, and you're on the verge of bankruptcy.

You're a failure, a lord. ”

Murphy didn't care about the flywheel's complaints, he knew better than anyone how bad Transnesia's economic situation was, but wasn't it something that could not be helped?

No one sitting on the volcanic heap of Translasia can reverse this terrible situation.

Murphy can only take one step at a time.

"Tomorrow afternoon in my office, we're going to discuss the upgrade of the Orb of Calculations, that's what you promised me, don't be late."

Murphy took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and left.

When he arrived at the administrative compound in the darkness of the night, he happened to see Miriam and Captain Paula discussing the future of the cooperation.

Murphy had planned to discuss with Miriam whether he could squeeze some money out of his precarious finances to buy a new airship, but before he could enter the hall, he saw Claire's first mate, swaying out of the room.

"Pablo asked me to tell you, Handsome Murphy."

The sultry first mate put his hand on Murphy's shoulder and whispered:

"The Blooddread Fleet can provide you with a fund for your cause."

"You can read minds, right?"

Murphy sighed and said:

"Or is my handsome appearance no longer able to hide my poor sourness? Why does everyone know I'm short of money? ”

"No, it's not."

Claire shrugged her shoulders and told the truth:

"The Blood Dread Fleet still has a batch of 'goods' on Paula's side that haven't been sold, and we don't bother to go back to collect the money, now is not the time to cherish wealth, if we can use this money to buy lives, pirates can also become very generous."

"Then double it."

Murphy thought for a moment and said:

"I'm going to place an order at the airship factory in Port Chardo to make new airships, the number is about five to ten, which obviously requires a lot of money, so if the Blooddread fleet can help me pay for it, then the Blooddrell Clan will be more than willing to help you when you are in trouble."

"Are you serious?"

Claire seemed to wake up all at once.

She stared at Murphy's handsome face and said:

"You don't even know how much trouble we have, and you dare to play such a guarantee? Aren't you afraid to lose your Transcia? ”

"I'm afraid, but fear can't be a reason to stop, I need a victory, Transnicia's career is just beginning, I don't want to see a defeat that destroys everything."

Murphy whispered:

"For this, I'd rather make a deal with the devil! No matter how terrible your troubles are, they are not necessarily worse than the devil, right? ”

"Ha, you must be a good pirate in the misty sea, Lord Murphy, you really went out at the critical moment, okay! We paid for that money. ”

Claire gave a thumbs up, then licked her lips and whispered:

"Well, I have a little string attaché, you see. I've given you so much money, Murphy, do you have to shoot what I want? ”

"I think Pablo should be aiming at my head with the good luck of the night a few kilometers away."

Murphy complained:

"If your hands continue to be less decent, I'm going to perform a skull blast on you.

Don't be so, Claire.

You and I both know that you are actually a very conservative woman.

You're sure that Pablo won't do anything to make him sad. I forgot to tell you two, I can really read minds, what you two are, I knew when we first met.

Tsk, it's really rare that the pirate industry can give birth to a love like the two of you. ”

"Hey, I obviously have a handsome face but it's so traditional, it's boring."

Claire took her hand out of Murphy's clothes, sent a passionate kiss into the distant night, and swayed back to the room to continue to be with her.

At this time, suspended on the stern platform of the Good Luck at a height of about 70 meters above the ground, Captain Pablo, who maintained a sniper posture, put away the bullet in his hand with a satisfied face, and the six buffs were strengthened, which could shatter the defense of the golden man with one shot.

Oops, it's good that my dear Claire didn't cuckold herself today.

In other words, it is really scary to let a handsome guy like Murphy stay by his woman's side, although he is very confident in Claire's loyalty, but in case Murphy has a bad intention, Claire may not be able to hold it.

——

The next morning, Maxim, Kudel, Adele, Fimes, and Commanders like Happy Stick, as well as Qin Ye, who had been summoned back by Murphy, were invited to step into the cabin of the Good Luck.

They must begin to familiarize themselves with the unique vehicle of the MechShip, and redesign their current strategic plan to include the Airship as a "Unique Unit" in Transnesia.

It's the first time the NPCs have seen it, but the players are very excited.

Brother Bang and Qin Ye discussed all the way what Kirov is invincible in the world, 50 Kirov flattened all the strange theories and observed everywhere, while the other players who came with them shouted that the development team was awesome.

Now even the Hundred Star Behemoths are ready for the warmongers!

"I announce! Our Transcaya Air Force is finally awesome! ”

The self-proclaimed "Commander of the Transcaya Air Force" 30-year-old Yansang looked at this cool airship with emotion, and began to fantasize about the cool scene of commanding the airship formation to bomb the Plantagenet King Capital.

And the "Medieval Evangelion" next to him, who had just entered the game yesterday, was running around shouting, causing a group of halflings to look at them like fools.

But if you want to say who is the most excited among the players, it is definitely not Yan Sang or Brother Bang or Qin Ye, although they can all understand the military significance of airships to the current Translasia, but there is also a group of people who have a different understanding of the use of airships.

"Ah, isn't this the kind of big ship we want to fly? I knew the dev team wouldn't let us down! ”

The Whitewater Knights' logistics chief, who is always smiling, and the senior EVE operation god, His Excellency Serac Fanta, who has been talking about running boats all day long, was so excited that his whole body swayed the moment he stepped on the airship.

He screamed and shouted to a few of his fellow fans beside him:

"I'm going to add a teleportation module to this ship! We want to complete the rehearsal before entering the sea of stars on this continent! We're going to create our own dreadnought! We must take command of the invincible air force of Translasia and lay down a big territory!

We want to rebuild the great cause of the shiprunners, and we want to build our own merchant dynasty!

Fleet!

Listen to me!

Target Stargate, get ready to jump! ”

Several other EVE bosses will also be very excited, for them, the spaceship is of great significance, although the airship is not a spaceship in the conventional sense, but it is not without that condition at the moment.

It's okay to make do with it!

At least this airship can fly, and it really is a ship!

Rather than monopolizing navigation on the Cadman River in the surface waterways, this kind of wandering around the continent in an airship was obviously more to their liking.

"Tempal! Fordin! Uther, listen to Lao Tzu. ”

H.E. Serac Fanta, holding on to the Orb of Arithmetic, shouted to his commanders:

"Lao Tzu, I resigned today, you guys go to find a new logistics director, we are going to start our great journey to conquer the sea of stars, don't call in the future, I'm afraid that my new airship will be misunderstood, so be it."

Bye-bye. ”
