Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 136 The Wreck
Curran stopped in the middle of his narration.Her gaze crossed the summer night and landed on the square behind.

Xia Ye turned her head and found five witches appeared on the edge of the square. Judging by their attire, they should be the debt collection team.

"Looks like there's another guest here." Curen said to Xia Ye, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, she left the seat and walked towards the other party...

The fight was over in less than a minute.

The debt collection team who had been revived by the insurance left in a hurry. Except for a few damaged dresses, Curen was not injured at all, and his hairstyle was not even messed up.

Before Curen said that the prosthetic limb given to him by "Heinekan Creation" was not too strong, Xia Ye thought she was too modest.

It is obviously a super individual equipment that integrates a shield, an arm blade, an automatic rifle, and a small missile launcher. Except that it cannot improve the mobility of the user, it has almost all the other functions.

However, based on this alone, it is impossible for Curen to get all the members of the debt collection team out of insurance within 5 minutes.Xia Ye discovered that the real strength of the opponent lies in combat experience and combat skills.

These experiences and skills can only come from life-and-death fights again and again. Curran said before that the downtown area was much more chaotic than it is now, and it seems that what he said is true.

Xia Ye made a secret assessment. He definitely couldn't beat the opponent. Even with Xiuji, he might only be able to win [-]/[-] at most.

After watching the debt collection team leave, Curran returned to the table, but did not sit down again.

"It's someone sent by 'Mars Forge'." She said to Xia Ye.

"The debt collection team sent by the supplier has come here in the past few days. I guess they won't bother you again for the time being. I have something that I would like to invite you to visit. I wonder if you are interested?"

Xia Ye thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Seven Zero Four, I'll take Miss Xia Ye for a walk around here. I'll trouble you here. In case another guest comes over, you can tell me with the crystal ball, and I'll come right away." Ke Lun said to the Masked Witch.

"No problem, Chairman Curran."

"Let's go."

Curran sat on the broom and flew into the sky first.Xia Ye noticed that she also used the BRM series of Bavaria Company.

Xia Ye followed her and flew to the factory area behind the headquarters building of "Far Ship Leasing". After 2 minutes, Curran landed next to a dock. There was no one around the dock, and the doors for people to enter and exit were also locked. It seems that no one has used it for a long time.

"The masked witch was named '[-]' just now?" After landing, Xia Ye uttered the question that was left in her heart just now.

"That's just her code name." Curran laughed, "I don't know her real name either. The people in their venture capital department are all like this, with special masks on their faces, even with the 'eye of truth'. Can't see the face behind, no name, only a number. She belongs to the 'Venture Capital Seven', so the number starts with seven."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Xia Ye suddenly remembered the task issuers in a certain game, and blurted out, "Could they be dolls, right? The ones driven by contract power?"

"You have a good idea, but I know they are all real people." Curran said with certainty.

"why?"

"Because I've seen someone kill them, and what's in their bodies is indeed flesh and cups, not machines."

"Oh..." Xia Ye thought to himself, it seems that venture capital is also a high-risk industry in this world.

On the other side, Curran pressed his palm on the magic circle and opened the door of the dock.

"Come in, what you want to see is inside."

The gray-haired girl stood inside the door, her body and face were hidden in the darkness, only her eyes were still shining with dark blue light.

Xia Ye walked in without any hesitation - she felt that Ke Lun was just trying to scare her on purpose.

As soon as they entered the dock, the other party closed the door with a "bang".

Suddenly it was dark.

"..."

Xia Ye quickly grabbed Xiuji from the top of his head and blocked it against his chest.

"click..."

Suddenly, the eyes are bright.

Curran turned on the switch, and the incandescent light illuminated the corridor brightly.

She glanced at the cat that was blocked by Xia Ye, and said with a half-smile: "What? Do you think I will sneak attack you?"

"Yes, yes." Xia Ye nodded frankly, "I am very timid, and I like to hold cats in my arms when I am afraid."

"...Come with me." Curran walked in first.

Passing through the corridor and opening a door again, the two finally came to the inside of the dock. Curran turned on the lights, and Xia Ye saw a huge ship.

To be precise, it is "more than half" the ship.

The equipment above the deck of the ship has basically been demolished, leaving only a solitary bridge. There is a huge hole at the stern, which looks like it was formed by an explosion. Through the hole, you can see the keel and cabins inside. Mostly intact.

This ship is about as long as the "Moby Dick", but wider than the "Moby Dick". Xia Ye roughly estimated that its tonnage should be about 1.3 times that of the "Moby Dick".

While she was looking at the boat, Curran also looked up at it, and after a while, she said:
"Remember what I told you, we built nineteen technology demonstration ships and sank eighteen? This is the only one left."

"It's so big!"

Although Xia Ye had vaguely guessed it, she couldn't help being surprised when the other party really said it.

"Yeah, it's bigger than your 'Moby Dick'," Curran said.

"Of course, the performance must be far inferior to the current ship. The ether ramjet thruster at that time was still very immature, with a large volume and heavy weight, but the thrust was lower than that of the current one. At that time, in order to make the first ship achieve With a high speed, Chris installed a total of six propellers on it, two on both sides of the stern, two on the aft deck, and one on each of the left and right winglets. Finally, its cruising speed reached 180 Festival.

"However, the more propellers there are, the greater the probability of problems. This ship successfully completed the first trial voyage, but it blew up a propeller during the second trial voyage, and that's how the hole in the stern came out. Fortunately, it managed to return to Debsota by relying on the propellers on both sides. After investigating the cause of the explosion, it was found that when the four propellers were operating at maximum power, resonance would occur, and the resonance would cause the load-bearing parts to accelerate metal fatigue. The faulty thruster was caused by a sudden rupture of a key part, which caused the ether deflagration to go out of control, and finally caused an explosion."

Xia Ye looked at Ke Lun in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Curran asked.

"I didn't expect you to understand these things quite well." Xia Ye said.

Curran was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "What? You think I'm a chairman who doesn't know anything about technology? Back then I was in Bavaria College, but I was a well-known top student. I was either ranked first in every exam or second."

"Is it first or second?"

"Yeah, Chris is the same. In short, every time I am on the top of the ranking list, sometimes I am on the top, sometimes she is on the top. At the beginning, I was on the top more often, and then I was gradually overwhelmed by her. , There is no way, Chris is indeed very talented in this area."

When she said this, the girl's eyes showed a gentle expression, but this expression only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing without a trace.

Curran pointed at the boat in front of him and said seriously:

"Miss Xia Ye, what kind of person do you think I am?

"A greedy and short-sighted chairman? A businessman who doesn't understand technology? Or a brutal and ruthless killer?
"The reason why I brought you here is to let you see with your own eyes the fact that Chris's grand and beautiful ideal, I haven't tried to realize it in the past. Your 'Moby Dick' is nothing at all, We have built [-] larger technology verification ships than it, and there is also a larger "Chris Curran". The company invested a huge amount of Moore for Chris's ideal, and finally got, But only this wreck.

"That's right, this time, Chris successfully transformed the Moby Dick by relying on the advances in propeller technology and the experience accumulated in past failures, and, if I'm not mistaken, you must have sailed to the west of the Western Islands, And returned successfully.

"But so what? Think about Chris's goal - to sail to the end of the etheric sea. For this illusory goal, how much investment and failure are needed? You may have earned a lot of moles from whaling this time, enough to Acquired quite a lot of shares in 'Ocean Ship Leasing'. But, next, if you let Chris become the person in charge of this company, do you think 'Ocean Ship Leasing' can still maintain normal operations?"
