The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 247 Tech Tree Progress

Gwen is sure that the three devil sisters are all fucking talents.

The industrial oxygen produced by Aini has indeed received a lot of praise. The cans of industrial oxygen were transported to the steel factory on the train in Longyan's private territory, and he also returned a sufficient amount of steel to Gwen.Facing these steel materials, Helen among the three sisters developed an inner armor similar to chain mail.

To put it simply, it is to change the black robes of the mind flayers from cloth robes into real 'cloth armor', and develop the inner armor of the robes through armor plasticity and mechanics.

"But why is there no leg armor?"

After checking, Gwen asked Helen Dao.Helen stared at him gloomily, and it took a second or two before she gave her own explanation: "The cannon fodder's foot was hit, so it was just enough to stop them from thinking of running away, so they have to stay where they are... from the utilization rate. Said, it's more cost-effective. Providing protection for the lower body consumes about 70% more of the full armor, and our goal is not to 'protect soldiers and keep them alive'."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Gwen stared at her, "You seem to have completely negated the biggest role of the word armor?"

"Gwen."

Helen spoke to him in the tone of a mature woman.

"Do you think that a set of well-made medieval-level armor can withstand the 8.15-caliber Utopia standard steel core bullet? Especially in its charge, craftsmanship, and some shadows of source power?"

The yellow-haired loli showed a very mature woman's demeanor, and she smiled charmingly:
"The answer is impossible, especially under the premise that Utopians have had enough monsters with high defense power. The order of technology development in a world will largely be related to the public opinion in this world. For example, in a peaceful world, weapons tend to Focus on how to kill the same kind. In a world full of monsters, weapons focus on how to kill monsters. In a world without foreign enemies, weapons focus on how to kill yourself better."

"The world of Utopia is very interesting."

"There are so many monsters here that even us visitors from the abyss feel a little different. But it can also be said that it is not the number, but the density. The density of monsters here is very scary. Therefore, all the ammunition in this world can only Pursuing armor-piercing as the purpose, such a thin steel armor is naturally unable to meet the needs of protecting soldiers."

"It's to [make them believe that they are protected]. When they believe this, the source force will naturally attach to them, support them, and protect them. Of course, if small-caliber and long-distance stray bullets, this robe Armor can still protect them, and it is also effective against the cold weapon bows and crossbows that are currently popular in Utopia, and the anti-slashing effect is even better."

Under Helen's various explanations.

Gwen still reluctantly accepted this statement.There is no way to do this, and most of the followers of the Clerical Order are indeed from the scum class. Curseblade now has to pretend that the order is doing bad things and let them treat bags of salt and sugar as edible To avoid these people wondering whether "we are in a legitimate association that really wants to do business".

But Curseblade is an old expert in this area.

She asked people to trace a certain smuggling route today, and asked people to follow this route tomorrow and kept it secret, and arranged for people to destroy this smuggling route the day after tomorrow and each of them had to keep their identities secret.

In Long Yan's words, the Documentary Church is:
"You have made history. You are the first legal association that has caused more than 50 deaths in internal fighting within three days of its establishment."

After solving the problem, Helen handed over the disassembled versions of these armors to Mao Lanterns for production.

Mao Deng currently has its own territory on the Sniper Cat, and Curse Blade is very reluctant to admit that Mao Deng's ability to manage the territory seems to be a little better than Squirrel Girl...

Manufactories, tanneries...

These industries already existed, and the cat lamps actually hired a group of mole men from nowhere to work with cheap salaries.By the way, the wealth of cat lamps is astonishing, and they carry and float at any time, saving a lot of management costs and salary costs.

The output cost of the cat lamp industry is very low.

therefore.

The cat lamps can use about 25% of the salary to hire 4 batches of molemen and start working 24 hours a day, and at the same time provide the cheap daily necessities that the molemen need in terms of treatment.In this way, Cat Lamp hired four Molemen to work for 10 hours for the wages of one mole worker for 24 hours. However, in the industrial chain of Cat Lamp, daily necessities can be directly imported cheaply, resulting in This exploitation is sanctioned by the mole people.

Of course, according to Gwen, one of these cats counts as one, and they all have to hang street lights...

But watching the mole people enjoy it, it is not convenient for Gwen to smash other people's jobs.

After all, working for cat lamp itself can enjoy cheap industrial products and daily necessities.You can't just throw your jobs out of nowhere just because 'I think you're being exploited'.Otherwise, if you ruin other people's jobs, what can you say?Could it be that 'losing everything and also losing the chains' is different from 'losing everything and being free'?
Besides, the cat lamp factory is quite safe, these cats dare not stay in a place with potential safety hazards for more than ten seconds...

……

Mud Demon Helen's workshop is just below the tower of the three sisters, and this is her private work.

As the only demon with a very high degree among the three demon sisters, she has absolute autonomy. Her main job is to help her sisters repair the greenhouse and maintain the Sniper Cat.

God, the only person on this train with an engineer's certificate is a devil!

Petunia has complained to Gwen countless days and nights about this matter.

But there is no way, engineers are in Utopia, just like professional masters are on Earth, they are all professionals who are being scrambled for.After all, in addition to being awesome, a professional beauty artist has to bring out a great team, and for Utopia, a great engineer must naturally bring out a great team to prove himself the value of.

The yellow-haired loli Helen brought her three little vampire sisters.

These vampires don't drink blood, they drink motor oil—well, that's a joke, and they're well paid.Curseblade once negotiated with them on salary issues, but they gave Squirrel Girl a bad face and said that they would quit if they didn't pay. This is too awesome.

But the train maintenance was barely done, and Petunia said "Machine Soul Joy", saying that the engineer combination of three vampires and one demon was comparable to a witch's maintenance ability.Although there are sky-high witches bragging, after all, after staying away from the witch, everyone will be XX, but it is not too much water, after all, Penny wants to enjoy it herself.

……

Three Sisters Tower, lounge.

There are a large number of strange samples as decorations in this lounge, a large number of strange and terrifying things, making it doubtful whether these things can be regarded as human aesthetics.

At the same time, there is a tobacco cabinet.

And these fiends' homemade cigars.

Gwen silently recited the main content of demonology.

——The demon's world view is very simple, that is, you kill me and I kill you.But since a certain time, the society of demons has entered a state of complete civilization, and for these demons, cigars and eccentric works of art finally have some value.Some great demons will try to collect these things, while for others, collecting art is also part of accumulating assets, hoping to exchange this assets for useful goods, such as souls.

But it is undeniable that liking cigars is a hobby of any devil. If a small piece of pure soul fragments can be stuffed into a cigar, then to the devil, it is simply the devil's version of fog sugar...

"Do you want coffee or tea? Or a little drink?"

Helen is very familiar, this scholar devil has a very mature style, completely different from the appearance of the loli type, and is a real adult devil.

She treated Gwen like an old friend.

Gwen thought for a while: "Coffee."

"It's a good choice. Let me introduce you to the Yanguo coffee beans from the Savory Peninsula in the Wailing Realm..."

Listening to the name, Gwen asked curiously, "The tortured peninsula? A literal translation."

"WZSDTMD." Helen scolded, "I told them, choosing transliteration will not improve the bad taste of naming a little bit. Suffering peninsula, you are right, Suffering peninsula occasionally We will say this, if a demon is sent to Suffering Peninsula, there is usually only Suffering, it is very close to the entrance of Utopia, so every day it has to eat the soul of Yuanli..."

"You know the soul of Yuanli, right? It has a very disgusting toxicity. It is equivalent to the purification fish here. It can barely supply food, but it is definitely not the best choice to fill your stomach."

Gwen is still very interested in demon secrets.

"It sounds like a last resort, but is the technological level of the abyss enough to breed people like you who are proficient in craftsmen and technology?"

"of course can."

Helen picked up the fiery red coffee beans and put them into the grinder, "The fiery red coffee beans, the wonderful fruit that grows from the place that suffers, is like a lotus flower. This kind of coffee is very pungent and mellow, but not bitter. You see, when this red coffee powder is brewed, it is like rich milk."

"so?"

"The abyss of pain will naturally give birth to wizards like us. The technology of the abyss has always been a symbol of wild growth. For us, the technology of Utopia is still a part of wild growth. You can see that the people of Utopia are in this company. When high-quality steel cannot be provided stably, buildings that are equivalent to wonders are actually built, just like the Great Wall built in the ancient Qin Dynasty."

"Oh?"

"It seems that you are indeed from the parallel world of Tilt, one of the nineteen origins of the witch."

"The nineteenth origin of the witch?"

"There are nineteen theories about their origins, which come from nineteen different worlds. Many people suspect that the witches forged the nineteen origins for the sake of claiming the entire multi-faceted universe. The world that really conforms to the origins of the witches is an 8000-year-old world. The world, a world that keeps inventing weapons to destroy itself according to the original historical line. But at the same time, it should also be your origin world."

The theory of parallel worlds belongs to the basic surface theory in the multi-faceted universe. Civilizations that do not learn this theory cannot break through the sky, and if they cannot break through the sky, there will be a lock that locks their way to the universe.That is to say, it is impossible to enter the cosmic age.

But for Gwen, finding the way home is not so important anymore.

Instead, finding the witch is more important.

"Make a deal with a witch, live forever, and bring a mortal back to life, these are very simple things." Helen said.

"Including looking for someone?"

"Who do you want to find? From that world, or from this world? Life or death is fine, but you must clearly know where the person you are looking for belongs."

Gwen could not imagine such great power.

Just a name and the world, plus a part of his own memories, can make the witch drag him back from the underworld.

There was something called 'excitement' in him.

But it is inconvenient to show up.

Just let out a breath: "It is indeed... a person who is very important to me. Just in the last world."

"Then you can find someone to find the witch, and pay the price. They can even dig out the souls that have been eaten by the devil. There was even a period of time when they specialized in this job, playing double reeds with the devil. What sad prince's lover was eaten Yes, I begged the witch to enter the house, and found that the witch is more vicious than the devil... It's a common thing."

Helen is definitely a good teacher and friend.

As a demon, she is one of the few rational demons. Among the three sisters, she is the only one who doesn't say "I am a half-breed".

Gwen was quite curious about this and asked:

"A rationalist like you is in the abyss, is there no problem?"

Helen took a sip of coffee, tilted her head with a smile:

"There is no problem. Demons are not defined in the first place. Although most of them are crazy and chaotic, it is also one of the natures of demons to give birth to rationality from madness and chaos. It is just a possibility... Speaking of it , since you are the original parallel world, then, you should have watched the movie of that world?"

Helen put down her coffee, her eyes gleaming:
"Is there Shawshank's redemption in your world?"

"Have."

Gwen gave her a surprised look.

This expression made the other party sneer: "The parallel worlds in this world have nineteen origins, but only one abyss. I have seen the elf version of Shawshank, and I have also seen the dwarf and zombie versions..."

Compared to a devil, Helen is more like an academic master, and more like a person with profound knowledge.

It was a pleasure chatting with her.

Just don't know...

Gwen didn't quite understand why the other party was vaguely flattering her.

……

The next day, when Gwen was drinking morning tea in the main tower, she met Laura who came in with the information.

The other party's first sentence is:

"Sukka's, there's no such thing as Castle Evans on the Countryman!"
