Chapter 134 The Best Time
Xia Ye shook her head, expressing her disbelief in Curen's explanation.

"It's normal for you not to believe me." Curen looked at her. "How about this, let me tell you something that you will definitely believe, and then I will explain it slowly."

"please say."

"Have you ever guessed: The reason why I want to kill Chris is because after she dies, if you want to cooperate with 'Distant Ship Rental', you can only use me?"

Xia Ye neither affirmed nor denied.

Curran didn't wait for her answer, she continued: "Your guess is correct. This is indeed my original intention, but it does not conflict with my wanting to prevent Chris from destroying the 'far ship charter' It's just that my initial approach was relatively simple and rude, and I didn't expect you to be able to save Chris. To be honest, until now, I'm also very curious about how you, who are far away in the sea of ​​ether, managed to do this.

"After the attempt failed, I realized that it is no longer appropriate to continue to use that simple and crude method, which is not good for both of us. Therefore, now I plan to convince you in a reasonable way, I mean the real To be reasonable..."

As the girl said, she tapped her lips.

"Instead of using this..." She pointed to her prosthetic hand again, "to force you to cooperate with us."

"I'm also a person who likes to reason, but the premise is that what you say is really reasonable." Xia Ye said.

"You will agree with me, Miss Xia Ye, as long as you still want a company that can make money, instead of a bottomless pit that will only eat up your investment, you should choose to be with me instead of handing over the company to me." Chris."

Ke Lun looked beyond Xia Ye and into the distance. She seemed to be remembering something. After a while, the girl said:
"Chris and I used to be students of 'Bavaria Institute of Magic Power Technology', a school funded and established by 'Bavaria Magic Drive Core Manufacturing Factory', and they were also born in the lower city, so The best school you can get into.

"At Bavaria College, students with excellent grades can get a lot of scholarships, which is enough to pay tuition fees and guarantee basic living expenses. After graduation, many people can enter the Bavaria factory to work, especially outstanding ones even You can enter 'Ether Exploration' and settle down in Midtown in the future.

"If Chris and I had both chosen this path at that time, perhaps these things would not have happened today, but something happened at that time, which directly changed our destiny.

"That was about five years ago, the college suddenly called a group of students including me and Chris, and said that there was a research project from the upper city, and we could decide to participate or not to participate, but the specific content of the project, You need to sign a confidentiality contract before you can inform.

"Chris decided to join on the spot, and I had to do the same. After that, we got some information and was told the research goal: 'Ether Prospecting' hopes to develop a powerful Mechanisms of Thrust. This is a huge project in which several of the largest manufacturers are involved, and our college, as an affiliate of the Bavarian factory, has therefore been able to join.

"Until now, I don't know how many people participated in this project, but it is conservatively estimated that there will be no less than 2000 people. What the two of us have come into contact with is only a very small part of the project, but it is very important for us to do next. , is enough.

"About three years ago, 'Aether Prospecting' finalized the blueprint of the first ether ramjet thruster, and sent it to several large manufacturers for trial production of prototypes, and we also graduated that year.

"One day, Chris suddenly said to me: We all know how strong the thrust of the ether ramjet is and how low the mana consumption is. Since there are such good things, why don't we build a ship driven by the ether ramjet?" What about the ship? This kind of ship must be able to sail very far in the etheric sea. Now only the traveling witch can travel in the etheric sea, but as long as there is such a ship, even ordinary people can do the same thing in the future.

"At that time, I thought about it for a while, and said to her: building a ship is not something that two people can accomplish. If we want to build a ship, we must first set up a company... In this way, the two of us gave up and went to 'ether exploration' to work plans to start preparing for a shipbuilding company.

"The previous experience in the project played a role. Chris is proficient in technology. At that time, the prototype machine had not been made public, but she had already calculated the approximate parameters of the prototype machine through a series of methods, and designed a machine that can carry ether. Ram thruster boat.

"As for me... I have ambition, and ambition can be transformed into appeal. At that time, I was running around, trying to persuade my classmates who participated in the project with us in the past, and even students from other schools in the project, to invite They set up the company with us.

"The next period of time was our most difficult time, but it was also our happiest time. We encountered countless unimaginable difficulties, some of which required mental solutions, some of which required the use of violence, and most of the time they were both. Both are needed, but we didn't give up, and finally established the 'Yuanhang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.', which is the name Chris took.

"A few months later, our company's plan defeated hundreds of competitors and obtained the qualification to carry out the test flight with ether ramjet thrusters, and there are only 5 companies in the lower city that have obtained this qualification.

"The test was a great success. As Chris expected, the ship equipped with an ether ramjet thruster is completely different from those small sampans in the past. Our ship passed 100 knots in the first test voyage. Sailing at a speed of 5000 nautical miles, we have really entered the etheric sea, instead of just wandering around Debsota like those so-called 'ships' in the past.

"It was also at that time that the whaling industry in the lower city was booming, and I smelled business opportunities, so Chris immediately designed a whaling ship equipped with an ether ramjet propeller, and named it 'C-Type From the current point of view, the ship is actually very simple, but at that time, it was simply a whaling weapon that whalers dreamed of.

"What's more, it's not expensive. A dozen whalers can buy a C-type boat by pooling their money together. Later, I learned from other industries and launched the whaling boat leasing business. For one thing, they don't even need to buy the boat, as long as they pay a deposit and rent, they can go out to sea to hunt whaling.

"With the 'Type C Ship', the company has ushered in its golden age, orders are coming in like snowflakes, and the company's scale is expanding rapidly... But whether it is building a new dock or hiring more employees, magic is needed. Moore, and it is impossible to raise so many Moore in a short period of time with orders alone. Therefore, we have to accept investment from investors who come to our door.

"But this golden period lasted less than a year, and a problem gradually emerged. Although the problem was not exposed until then, its root was buried long before the company was established, that is: I It is fundamentally inconsistent with Chris' goals.

"Although they do overlap in the beginning - she wanted to build a ship that could go far, and I wanted to start a company, and 'Sea Ship' was born. But at the end of the day, Chris's ideal It is to reach the end of the etheric sea and explore the unknown world; and my ideal is to stand out, and hope that one day, I can become a witch of level 4 or higher and live in the upper city.

"Shipbuilding is just a way for the two of us to realize our ideals, not the ultimate goal.

"At that time, Chris was no longer satisfied with making those 'small boats'. She began to allocate funds and set up a special project team to develop bigger and faster boats that could sail beyond the archipelago and even farther places. Great ship—that's not a whaler any more."
