Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"it is good."

"By the way, due to the company's capital turnover, there is no overtime pay this month, and your reimbursement expenses will not be reimbursed this month. Let me tell you."

"it is good."

No matter what the person on the other end of the phone said, Maena's answer was very crisp and brisk. Today, Margaret withstood the pressure and won the championship. She led the Blood Knight side by side to the championship corridor, and was severely beaten and swollen. The face of the Commercial Federation, her comrades-in-arms also helped her deal with the shameless sneak attack from the Commercial Federation, and Maria also found where she wanted to go.

Looking at the two ladies in front of him who were still waiting for his reply, Maena suddenly realized that he was lighter than ever before. The eldest brother's children had grown up to be independent, and they were all capable of dealing with the situation of Casimir. It was a turbid whirlpool. His years of forbearance were indeed not in vain.In addition, he solved a big doubt in his mind about Alpha's intention and purpose, and got a goal worth fighting for.

Although the look on his face still shows the fatigue accumulated over the years, now, he is in a particularly good mood. It seems that even the long sword at his waist has become lighter, and he seems to have returned to his hometown in a trance. Those days as a ranger.

But the boss on the other end of the phone was a little on pins and needles. Although the Ma Enna he knew in the past had the same humble attitude as now, he would still fight for himself to some extent when it came to matters of wages and remuneration. After all, his family The situation is not optimistic, and there is a niece to support, which requires a large amount of expenses every month.And there is always a hint of arrogance left in him by the old rumors in his tone.

What happened today? Why did he agree so simply? He didn't even ask why, and just accepted everything with "Okay".

"Hey, Ma Enna, what's going on with you today? Why did you agree so easily?"

"I happen to be in a good mood, can't I?" Maena said. He was originally going to hang up the phone and go say goodbye to the two ladies. When he turned around, the arm armor he didn't usually wear moved and emitted a metallic sound. Scratching sounds.

"Hey, Ma Enna, calm down. It's easy to say whatever you want." What he didn't expect was that the supervisor on the other end of the phone didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly started to panic. "Although I have important business to ask you to work overtime... Forget it, there is no need for overtime. I will give you a day off tomorrow. You can take a good rest and relax. If you have any questions, just tell me. I will also deal with overtime pay and reimbursement. Help you fight for it... No, I paid the salary..."

"Mr. Supervisor, I won't do anything illegal, why are you so panicked?" Maena smiled helplessly. He finally understood what his supervisor meant. He was worried that he had agreed so simply. It was because he saw the knight in battle and remembered the past, so he picked up his sword and prepared to kill him.

"That..." The supervisor was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say to Ma Enna.

"There is something I want to tell you. I want to take a long vacation. I have saved 30 days of vacation in the past ten years. I have some things at home that I have to deal with. I also ask for your permission."

"Yeah, okay, okay, everything is easy to say, everything is easy to say." The supervisor clearly didn't believe that Ma Enna was not holding the sword and preparing to chop him this time, and wished that Ma Enna would leave the great knight's territory as soon as possible.

Ma Enna finally hung up the phone. It seemed that he still planned to go back to the company, but this time, maybe he was not going back to work overtime, but to pick up his own things that were left there.

"Ladies, please forgive me for being with you. There are some matters in the company that need to be dealt with."

Alpha nodded, and even Gladia nodded imperceptibly. The farce of the terrestrial species would make Gladia feel a bit dramatic when she saw it.

"Maena, here you go." When they parted, Alpha took out a few things from his pocket and stopped Maena who was about to leave.

Maena turned around and took what Alpha handed over, and found that they were several business cards. One was the business card of the new director of Brilliant Shield Industries, and the other was the business card of the Rhode Island office in Kavaleriaki. , and a business card with Alpha’s own name written underneath the logo with the Star of Life.

Ma Enna did not refuse, but silently accepted these business cards. In the undercurrent of the Great Knight Leader, even if the human relationships represented by these business cards did not have much effect, it still meant that he had hooked up. A clue that might help.

Moreover, he knew very well that Alpha was telling himself that there were more choices.

"If you still plan to stay in the Grand Knights and don't want to continue to tolerate the current supervisor, take your first business card to Collifer and switch to Brilliant Shield Industries. I can find a way to give you a well-paid idle job. Bad. As for the remaining business cards, it’s up to you what you want to do with them.”

"grateful."

After saying that, Maena left here. Today, his steps were much lighter than usual. Looking at the neon signs around him, the disgust that sprang from his bones was no longer so obvious.He had figured out some things a long time ago, but it wasn't until today that he really got the chance to break free.

It’s time to embark on a journey, Maena thought. The business card Alpha gave to her was obviously meant to recruit her. Although she didn’t know how much she knew about him, from the conversation, Maena at least Alpha knows his past, to be sure.She is an interesting person, although she still has a strong sense of mystery about her, but if she wants to do something meaningful to this land, Maena does not mind providing her with the help she can.

Of course, before that, I still have things to do.After waiting for ten years, he finally had time to try to find his brother's footprints and see if he could at least bring back news of their life and death.

As for working in the company... Let’s talk about it later.Linguang's family no longer needs to endure it anymore.

133.Undecided future-end

Maena left the Grand Knights' Territory. He didn't bring much luggage. Just like when he was a ranger, he carried a small bag with necessary items and his own knight sword, and thus embarked on his own journey. Selected journey.He hasn't used the business cards Alpha gave him yet, maybe because he doesn't want to use them, maybe because it's not the time to use them yet.

Before leaving, at the passage out of the city, he met Alpha again, or rather, Alpha was waiting for him here. This time, Maria was also here, and it seemed that Alpha had brought her here.

"Uncle, are you going on a long trip?" It could be seen that Maria looked a little worried. Her parents were like that back then, saying they were going on a long trip, but never came back.

"Well, Maria, there are some things that require me to take a long trip."

Maria looked into her uncle's eyes. She knew that she had no way to change his decision, but this time, she was no longer the child who was babbling and knew nothing about the adult world. "You must come back safely, okay. Uncle, we will all be waiting for you."

The uncle and nephew had a short farewell. This time they said goodbye on the road leaving the Grand Knights. Maria, who heard about this incident, hurriedly found Alpha and asked her to take her there. Fortunately, she caught up with him. .

"Maena, that sword of yours is already very old. If necessary, I will help you adjust it on the spot." Alpha, who was just a driver for his friend this time, leaned next to Di Ting and waved his hand. Said to Maena.

But Ma Enna smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need, it hasn't rusted yet, that's enough."

"Okay, please be careful on the way. I want to remind you that no matter what, you are the Maena who carries the banner of the Linguang family after all. And in the south, you have many old friends who live the same life as you." Life is completely different after I left that year, and the scenery in various places in Casimir is changing due to the promotion of commercial economy, so you might be involved in some incident."

Alpha pointed to his head, "This is out of concern for my friend's family. The advice I give you comes from my vague calculation of the future, but unfortunately, it does not include the whereabouts of your brother and the others. I don't have it." I can give you more help."

Qian,"Xun';.;Free;';;:Fei'!;Xiao':,;Shuo;?, skirt'2"';?:5';?;'5,'5;;.;9 ,?':"5;.3?,.0:;.:0 "..." Maena nodded silently. When communicating with the Sakaz girl sword master, she once wanted to mention it herself. Having been to Alpha, she would sometimes make some particularly accurate predictions. This time, he was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Alpha to say these things to him, but since she said it, Maena decided to be extra considerate, "Thank you. I will pay attention to your reminder. "

"Then I wish you a safe journey. People in my hometown will bless those who travel far away like this."

"thank you for your kindness."

After saying that, Ma Enna turned and left, leaving the two of them with a handsome but slightly tired figure who had not yet recovered from their rest.His old knight sword and his gauntlet reflected dazzling light in the sun, just like although he was not a knight, he still exuded the glory of the Linguang family.

……

"Master, what are we going to do next?" After saying goodbye to her uncle, Maria's mood was somewhat low, so she planned to turn her attention to other things, such as asking what the master she had just hired had planned. .

"I've stayed in the Great Knight Territory for long enough. It's time to go somewhere else." Looking at Maena's back, Alpha stretched.

Although that is said, the Life Star will still be docked in the Great Knight Territory for a long period of time. During this time, Alpha will carry out some preliminary modification work on the Rhode Island.

……

According to Kelsey's next plan, Rhode Island will go south, pass through the land of Casimir, and head towards Victoria. The speed of this voyage will not be very fast. Rhode Island will be in the middle, according to the Casimir’s official cooperation agreement provides more Casimir cities with treatment, treatment and control services for ore disease.

In an internal meeting, Kelsey mentioned the abnormal situation currently occurring in Victoria. As early as more than three years ago, the regent of Sarkaz, Traces, led the Kazdaele Military Council, with the help of the Grand Dukes of Victoria. Through the checks and balances and contradictions between them, they successfully entered and occupied Victoria's capital, Londinium.And there, a new Sakaz movement was planned.

Kelsey believes that it is necessary for Rhodes Island to investigate the truth of Traces' plan, and now, it is time for Amiya to try to face what the crown that Theresia entrusted to her represents. It's fateful time.

Regarding this matter, Alpha did not express much, or in other words, it was rare that she did not express her own opinions and predictions about the "world war" that could be provoked by Sarkaz at any time and affect the entire continent.

This time, Kelsey was a little confused. Logically speaking, Alpha would always put forward her own valuable opinions on things that might arise, potentially have unpredictable consequences, but this time, she didn't.

When the doctor went to ask her opinion in private, Alpha, who was watching the sunset and drinking beer with Xu Yu, handed the doctor a bottle of beer and said to him leisurely, "Sometimes, a total war , means a comprehensive reshuffle. It means the rewriting of the world structure, and it means the replacement of old things with new things. I am not sure that preventing a war or condoning a war will be beneficial to the creatures on this land. Or harmful.”

The doctor was silent for a moment after hearing her answer. In a sense, Alpha was right, and perhaps, she was one of the people who was looking forward to reshaping the pattern of this land.

The doctor is noncommittal about this answer. War means bloodshed and sacrifice. War means the destruction of countless families and the death of countless lives. Barbarism and violence will dominate everything...

"Don't be so anxious, doctor. We still have too many things to do before going to Londinium. We have enough time to think about whether something is right or not."

……

"Let's go, Maria, the relaxation time is over, it's time to go back to the dock."

"Okay, master!"

The streets led by the Grand Knight stretched in front of the wheels, and the heavy industrial land on the outskirts of the city gradually revealed itself in their eyes.There, large decks on both sides of the Rhode Island ship had been dismantled, and countless electric welding flames were shining in them.

134. System upgrade project

Rhode Island's engineering drone system has received a comprehensive upgrade. PRTs can be connected to the Internet for precise remote control and global control, and can last for a long time. A large number of professional operating drones that can be automatically and independently maintained have replaced the original Lu Hill. The Originium craft drone system was developed and the technology is not yet mature.

The heavy-duty industrial drones used in this UAV system are all technologies that Alpha reversed from the mechanical dog Benben. These industrial drones reversed from the UEG government are extremely good at operating in extremely large man-made structures. Do your homework.The production efficiency provided by the drone network that has been built now, accounting for only [-]% of the total scale, exceeds the total efficiency of the original entire system by one thousand percent.

In addition to the upgrade of Rhode Island's overall energy system, Kelsey finally made up his mind to dismantle the sarcophagus and use the sarcophagus's energy core system to replace the large-scale Rem Billiton product originally installed in Rhode Island. Origin Stone Energy Furnace.This part of the project is the most torturous, because it requires a complete redesign of Rhode Island's energy system. This is not a project that a mortal can complete, and can only be carried out by Alpha.

Kelsey attached great importance to this major upgrade work, and the funds Rhode Island had accumulated over the years were basically spent on this series of projects.This was a preferential friendly price given by Alpha based on the long-term cooperation between the two parties, and it only had time to pay part of the main payment.

In order to continue to pay for the modifications, Kelsey had to take out some bargaining chips that she was originally unwilling to give up. Alpha obtained a part of Rhode Island's internal equity and also heard what Kelsey was originally unwilling to tell outsiders. Some of the information about the history of this land and the history of pre-civilizations.

If the improvement work goes well, in four months, all the dismantled hulls of Rhode Island will be reassembled, final debugging work will be carried out in a short period of time, and then the ship will embark on a new journey.

Kelsey knows that Rhode Island will have to face greater waves in the future and will inevitably be involved in the vortex of more major events. The modern Originium technology built on the keel left by the ancestors will be compared to Looking at the original body of this ship, it is so weak, and it will eventually end.But the Rhode Island is the home of everyone, and it needs to be stronger and faster to protect more people in the stormy waters of the future.

"If you can leave Victoria alive, my industrial cluster in Siesta should have been completed by then, and Rhode Island can receive more comprehensive improvements there."

"Although my personal position on Kazdaele and Sakaz needs further investigation and consideration, out of my curiosity, I don't want the doctor to fall into a dangerous situation, and Rhode Island is his last home. . And you, Kelsey, there are still many broken problems on the continent of Terra that only you can solve." Alpha said that he agreed to carry out this modification for Rhode Island, and gave a price that was far lower than the market quotation. s reason.

"I have added some self-protection capabilities to Rhode Island that will not be restricted by the existing treaties of various countries on the earth. I guess they will not be used. It is best for you not to use them."

Kelsey nodded. Compared with the huge material throughput of the transformation project, the sixty 059A Predator attack drones were manufactured using leftover materials from the project and the drone production line that happened to be idle, and The price of supporting weapons and ammunition is really nothing, even if you add in the six six-tube 57mm close-in defense guns installed around the Rhode Island ship as a gift from the UAV system...

These things are indeed devastating against small units and harassing gangs, but they have no way to participate in the fight between the giant land-based megaton ships.These things given by Alpha are just right. In the face of some disasters, Rhode Island will not be completely defenseless, but she is still just a civilian ship carrying the Rhode Island Medical Company, and there is no way to upgrade it into a battleship.

……

The transformation took about a month. As the first step of the project, the industrial array of drones was installed. These drones will provide indispensable assistance in the complex work that follows.

It was at this time that Ceria returned from Colombia. It seemed that she was a little worried, but before Alpha could find free time to talk to her, Hemer brought a Rhode Island operation team. Also returned from Colombia.And they brought back a few new guys.

A burly, muscular and hairy film man, a Sakaz girl, and an Anati girl... Looking at these people brought back by Helmer, Alpha knew at once that Jaston estimated that in the days to come It's not going to be easy.

The few people brought back were all characters who appeared in the "Clone Island" story collection. They were some of the people who participated in the Mansfield Prison incident and eventually escaped from there.Presumably, Hemer left without saying goodbye before, because she got the news and went to try to save Anthony Simon, whose family was ruined and imprisoned due to the battle within Rhine Life. This is now the cat-headed cat codenamed "Mountain". Hairy hunk.

Celia and Homer did not come back together, but they returned to Rhode Island almost at the same time. In this Mansfield Prison incident, the two of them were not on the same side, and there was almost no relationship between them. There was no communication, but judging from Seria's appearance, she was probably secretly protecting Hemo and his party back to Rhode Island.

So Alpha, who finally got out of the heavy renovation work, found Seria in the Screwtop Bar.

"You were right again this time. That Jeston really appeared in Mansfield, representing the power behind him."

"The results of it?"

"I punched him and he fell down. This guy is not as strong as you said." Ceria smiled and took a sip of the Moscow mule in the cup. What happened in Mansfield Prison was basically the same. Everything was told by Alpha. With this convenience, Seria had more room to move around. She wanted to investigate some of the current situation of Rhine Life this year.But unfortunately, there are not many opportunities.

"In the story, Jayston was knocked down after being punched three times by the director. This was great, he fell with just one punch." Alpha laughed twice. He also played a role in persecuting Jayston this time. I hope He will have a great time cleaning the toilets in the prison from now on.

"Hemer's side..."

"Hermer has her own ideas and persistence. Naturally, I can't interfere. She is a very smart girl. I think I should worry more about her." When mentioning Hermer, Seria's expression was a little complicated. .

"Let's talk to her sometime."

135. It’s not easy to get together, but peace is precious

In the heavy dry dock in the suburban industrial park of the Great Knight, sparks from the welding on the Rhode Island are still flying everywhere, and the transformation work will take a long time. However, now, with the unmanned aerial system to do it, the engineering department The personnel and the outsourced staff of Huihuangdun Industry need to do much less work manually.

The next part of the work only requires Diesel to slowly advance according to the engineering design drawings, and even Alpha does not need to be too busy.

Although Rhode Island is currently undergoing a large-scale modification business, there is a considerable area that is still maintaining its original working functions, and all important departments of Rhode Island are still operating normally.This kind of scene can only be seen on large land ships of this tonnage.

On this day, Maria, the newly-acquired disciple in name, was just thrown to Diesel, and she was asked to read and study with Ifrit and Zaolu in the conference room of the Star of Life that had been turned into a study room. Even the talented Maria had to study the vast amount of professional knowledge related to mechanical engineering for a long time.

After browsing today's estimated project progress and manually confirming the status of each system, Alpha prepared to go to the areas of Rhode Island that were still operating normally.

Thinking about it this way, there is still a lot to do.

Outcast is recovering well and should be going through the discharge procedures today. As the new "god statue" to replace her Rutland faith, Alpha has to pick her up; the engineering department in Rhode Island has another test that they hope Alpha will be present at; Tallulah sent several representatives to find Alpha, and they still had some matters to discuss with Alpha.

……
