Chapter 233 [Colonel-Class Ship-Slashing Ⅸ-Shaped Mechanical Armor]

Chapter 233 [Colonel-class ship-slashing Ⅸ-shaped mechanical armor]

The people of the Marfa Empire obviously planned it long ago. The few remaining mechanical warriors boarded the submarine. As soon as the hatch was closed, the submarine quickly dived, and then disappeared at the No. 7 harbor pier in full view.

"Put a magic mark on that ironclad ship! Get on board! Chase!"

"Send tracker professionals over here, and we must not let them escape!"

"Notify the fleet to intercept!"

"."

Submarines, a weapon of war, have never appeared on the battlefield between the two countries, which really caught everyone by surprise.

The few mechanical warriors who were still on the pier exploded after being subdued, and the fighting movement in the city also subsided.

On the edge of the pier, several major arms dealers looked at each other in dismay, looking at the fleets chasing out of the port in a hurry, with complicated faces.

I thought it was safe, but I didn't expect such a big accident to happen.

It is one thing for them to be shocked by the submerged iron-clad ship, but they are more worried about how variable this elusive method will bring to future wars.

No one knew how many soldiers the Marfa Empire had transported to the hinterland of Lu Ying in this way.

At the same time, in a luxurious small building on the top of the hill in Kadurante City, a purple-haired woman who was watching the battle was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, silently watching the battle in the distance.

Watching the submarine disappear at the pier, she shook the red wine glass in her hand, took a sip, her face was very calm, apparently not too surprised.

At this time, an old housekeeper came in and reported: "Miss, Mafa and those people really escaped from the sea."

Ekaterina still looked at the bay in the distance, and said with deep eyes: "It must be by sea, land and air are not feasible, and this is the only way to escape. I thought they would use some special means I didn’t expect that the information I got before was true, those guys in Marfa really developed an iron-clad ship that can submerge in the sea.”

The butler said: "Our people have already started to act. Even if there is a stealth ironclad ship, they will not be able to escape."

Hearing this, Ekaterina shook her head, "Forget it. Withdraw."

"Is this withdrawn?"

Hearing this, the old butler looked puzzled, and asked, "Miss, we have arranged so many layouts, so we just want the blueprints."

Before he finished speaking, Ekaterina said again: "The Regadi family just received news that we should not interfere with the blueprint. They have a means to lock the location of the blueprint, and they have already sent people to do it."

"The Legardi family?"

The housekeeper's face was slightly taken aback, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

He also had a keen mind, and immediately thought of something: "You mean, Grand Duke Regardi and Raphael got mixed up?"

"yes."

Ekaterina narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone was a little complicated, "Before the 'Super Mechanical Warrior' made a big splash on the battlefield, I was thinking that Raphael may have researched a lot of people who have been running that 'Mine Pit' for a hundred years. This is something incredible, so he dares to show his strength. Now it seems that the entire Lu Ying Empire underestimated the nouveau riche."

After a pause, she seemed to be talking to herself again: "Hehe, a nouveau riche who understands and endures, and a group of schemers who want to restore the country all day long are really a perfect match."

Hearing this, the housekeeper also showed seriousness on his face, and asked, "Miss, don't we want to get this blueprint?"

Yekaterina's eyes also flashed a bit of thought, and she shook her head: "Forget it, don't mix it up. Let's see what their methods are. Let me see what they are hiding."

After a pause, she said another meaningful sentence: "What's more. The blueprint may not necessarily have gone to sea with Mafa and others."

Hearing this, the butler seemed to have been awakened by something, and was startled: "You mean?"

The words came to an abrupt end.

Seeing that his young lady obviously didn't intend to talk about this topic again, he didn't say much.

At this time, Yekaterina was not looking out the window, she returned to the house and asked, "By the way, where are those demihumans?"

Thinking of something, the butler had an ugly expression, and then said: "About this plan, a very strange news came from the pier just now."

After listening to the steward's report, Yekaterina showed a genuine look of surprise for the first time, and said, "What?! You mean, the guy who bought the demihumans released them all? "

The housekeeper frowned like a chrysanthemum, and he didn't understand: "Yes. The old slave didn't expect it either. But the message from the dock has been confirmed."

The normal script is that no matter who buys these slaves, they must use them or sell them.

Then when the time comes, their people will find a chance to rescue them by chance and get a good impression.

I didn't expect, just after they left the auction house, they chartered a boat and let everyone go!

Don't give them any moment to react at all.

Too much money?

Or someone with the same purpose as them?

Ekaterina frowned slightly, and for the first time, she felt that this situation was somewhat incomprehensible.

After thinking hard to no avail, she asked again: "Has the identity of the buyer been investigated?"

"Not yet."

The butler shook his head, and said, "It was reported earlier that one of the arms dealer Carlyle Fisher's subordinates had contact with the Sea Serpent Gang, and it seemed that he was looking for the buyer. The informant at the pier also confirmed this. news, but there is no news feedback, and I don’t know if it was killed or died in the previous battle.”

"."

Yekaterina fell into deep thought when she heard this.

The pier was in chaos.

On Lu Ying's side, almost all the high-level professionals chased out of the harbor by boat.

The aftermath of cleaning up and salvaging the battlefield is also slowly unfolding.

No one noticed that a figure took advantage of the chaos and sneaked down to Pier No. 5.

The skill of [Diving Mastery] allowed Su Lun to dive into the water quickly and stealthily, and then slowly sink in the direction he remembered.

Super high dark vision allows him to see clearly in the dark water.

Soon, he found the special mechanical armor.

When Su Lun swam over, he clearly felt that the soul fragments had not completely dissipated, so he peeled them off and got some information.

"Obtain the memory fragment of 'Dies Fasser'*4"

"You got some information: 'Our task is to be a bait, even if we die in battle, we must definitely send out the blueprints.'"

"You have mastered some 'mechanical knowledge'"

"You have obtained the information about the 'Grand Colonel-class Zhanjian IX-shaped mechanical armor'"

"Battle Mech Control Experience +133"

"Mental power +1.1"

Although some of the soul fragments dissipated, Su Lun stripped away not much information.

But I also know that this guy is a senior colonel officer of Lu Ying, and he controls a Tier 4 armor. It's the guy who took the ship-cutter knife and chopped down half the building with one knife.

This guy is a graduate of the "Marfa War Machinery Academy", and he has a solid knowledge of mechanical theory.

Even if the memory is fragmented, Su Lun has stripped off a lot of useful mechanical knowledge. At least his understanding of Lumafa's technological level is not completely blackened. The most rare thing is that I know a lot of open mechanical ideas

For example, the general structure and design modification direction of this external mechanical armor.

However, the information fragment of the phrase "we are the bait"

Su Lun got the information, which was the content of the lecture that the corpse had listened to.

It sounds like, these officers are also bait?

What's the meaning?

Are the drawings no longer on them?

Darkness?

However, the submarine had already gone to sea, so Su Lun didn't bother to investigate.

He didn't stay in the water for too long, tied and pulled the battle armor with silk thread, and finally put it into the storage space.

Sensing the sound of dense footsteps on the pier, he did not dare to go ashore on the spot, but instead swam to the gap between the boats at the other end of the pier, observed it, and then went ashore.

There are many people on the pier at this moment, they are cleaning the battlefield and looking for traces.

Su Lun didn't dare to stay too long, avoiding people's sight, and quietly moved into the city several times.

Passing by the ruined Oak Street, this place has been blocked, and there is no chance for him to touch fish.

But with the harvest of a set of mechas, he is already very satisfied.

A big battle made the quiet night of Kadurant City noisy again.

But for ordinary residents, the impact is not great. Most of them were confused and thought it was a pirate attack.

Even where the news merchants are, there are not many people who know why there is a fight.

After all, even if Lu Ying royal family did such a thing as intercepting and killing the Mafa mission, they would not dare to admit it.

It may end up being a pirate attack.

There were soldiers patrolling the street, and Su Lun didn't wander around the city. He returned to the hotel where the room was opened in the afternoon.

After entering the room and setting up the barrier, he took out the two-meter-tall [Grand Colonel-class Battleship IX-shaped Mechanical Armor].

Su Lun looked at the intact battle armor in front of him, his eyes were full of burning desire for knowledge.

I was thinking about getting a set of Marfa officer armor before, but I didn't expect such a coincidence that I actually got one!

For Su Lun, the top and bottom of this set of mechs are almost completely new mechanical technology.

Mafa's external mechanical armor technology and the old Lingdun mechanical colonization are two completely different development directions.

Relatively speaking, this kind of external mecha is more suitable for puppets.

The real thing was right in front of him, Su Lun took out a loupe and put it on his head, and carefully studied the armor.

Immediately immersed in this research.

"The blue inscription pattern is the rune rune of the fourth-order physical defense system, the red one is the magic defense rune, and the purple one is supposed to be energy conduction. It turns out that the rune language can also be changed in this way. Those changes are probably to make the runes suitable for machines. Triple inscription, quite a high-end technique. It seems that some of them are not inscribed by hand. With Mafa's level of technology, can even this kind of complicated rune engraving be mechanized?"

Seeing the rune, Su Lun couldn't move his eyes immediately.

Tier 4 runes are the field he is currently researching, and he is still at a loss.

As he looked at it, his mind also started to partition automatically, recording the structure, guessing the effect, and thinking about doubts.

The super-high development of brain domain has made his thinking very sharp and his thinking efficiency is extremely high.

While watching, he was mastering and learning these complicated fourth-order runes.

Not only the runes, Su Lun also looked at the coating layer on the mecha, and was also amazed: "The coating technology is also quite clever, and the super anti-corrosion effect can avoid wear and tear. It's a pity that the coating layer cannot be obtained. formula."

Then, he looked at the weapon system again, fiddled with the huge ship-cutter knife, and took out the instrument to test it.

"The alloy of this steam ship cutting knife is quite special. Without energy infusion, the strength has reached level eight, which is similar to Mithril Blue Steel. The main material is 'Dragon Blood Black Iron', which seems to be from Mafa's side. A specialty metal from the Outback.”

"."

Su Lun observed up and down for a while, and the amazement in his eyes became more and more intense.

Only those who know how to know how complicated and astonishing the mechanical technology on this set of battle armor are.

Su Lun also understood more and more what Mr. Hei said to him back then. As an alchemist, the more he knew, the more he felt ignorant.

Su Lun didn't know his level of mechanical technology before, but now it seems that at least in the Lu Ying Empire, he can be regarded as a master level.

But looking at the technology on this armor, there is also a feeling of hopelessness.

Only then did he discover that there are so many unknowns that need to be learned and explored by himself.

It took about an hour for Su Lun to roughly read all the runes on the outside of the mecha, and the more he read it, the more he felt emotional: "The 'energy core' of this mecha is the real black that can support such a complex mecha. Technology. But... how to open it?"

I thought about getting the body out first, but I gave up after looking at it.

The fully-covered battle armor fits perfectly, even at the joints, there are very precise mechanical protections missing, and water can't get in.

He didn't rush to dismantle this set of mechs.

This is a job that requires patience, and there is no rush.

There is a self-destruction device on this battle armor. If a wrong part is disassembled, the self-destruction process will be triggered immediately.

Su Lun understands mechanical knowledge and has omniscient pupils, so he can understand this armor faster than others.

After he studies the runes on the armor clearly, coupled with the fragmented knowledge stripped from his mind, he is still confident that he can completely disassemble the mecha.

"call"

After roughly studying the external structure of the mecha, Su Lun also let out a long breath, his expression getting more and more excited.

When he studied machinery, he naturally thought of his own mechanical puppet.

"Purely manual control system, the pursuit of materials to withstand the ultimate defense, resulting in bulky battle armor"

Su Lun looked at it and smiled.

This officer's battle armor is very strong, but the heavy armor also makes it look burly and clumsy, and the plate armor under his feet looks like he is wearing big-toed leather boots.

Because he knew very well that in order to pursue the defense and functionality of the armor, a certain volume was necessary.

Higher-level runes require higher material strength. If the strength cannot be achieved, they can only be thickened; and steam-powered equipment also requires a certain volume, weapons and equipment, and the cockpit. These are all volumes.

But Su Lun is a puppet master, his mechanical puppet doesn't need a person inside!

There is no manipulator, and there is no need to be afraid of any mysterious attacks!

His "mechanical puppet" needs these technologies too much.

Although it is said that the technology can be analyzed without getting the finished product, it means a lot to him.

Runes, Enchantments, Constructs, Channeling, Kinetics, Weapon Systems.

Every technology is a cutting-edge military technology that cannot be achieved on the market.

Money can't buy it.

Moreover, the short board of the mechanical armor is obvious, and it will not be easily restrained by targeted means if it needs to be clustered.

Before Su Lun witnessed a cooperative battle of elite mechanical warriors, shield battle, output, long-distance, logistics, engineering...

No matter how powerful a battle mech is, it is impossible to be equipped with all functions, but a few of them can completely form an offensive and defensive barrier and deal tons of damage!

Su Lun, a puppeteer, happens to be good at manipulating swarm puppets.

After his third level, after his ability to control distraction becomes stronger, the reaction of one person is not inferior to that of a group of people at all.

The mechanical puppet army is absolutely feasible!

This research, the night is over.

When Su Lun noticed that the window was lit up, he realized that it was early morning.

At this moment, there are blueprints everywhere in the room, with structural analysis diagrams of the battle armor drawn on them.

Su Lun's eight spider arms and hands worked all night, decomposing the runes on the battle armor layer by layer, and copied them on the blueprint.

For these external runes alone, nearly a hundred drawings were drawn.

With this painting by himself, the things in his mind became more concrete.

Not to mention mastering these runes, at least after he is proficient in the triple rune inscription technique, "copying homework" can still be done.

The difficulty of mechanical puppets is not a certain technology, but to gather suitable technologies together to forge a battle armor that can fight.

It can be said that if a mechanic researches on his own, he may not be able to produce such a set of armor in his entire life.

The mechanical revolution of the Mafa Empire has lasted for a hundred years, and these results have been achieved through the crystallization of the wisdom of countless talented mechanics.

Thousands of failed attempts, countless technical tests and improvements, and polished templates.

It also saved Su Lun a lot of effort.

As long as these technologies are fully mastered, Su Lun can create lighter mechanical puppets.

"call"

He let out a long breath of foul air.

With a pen in his hand, Su Lun dragged his chin to look at the mechanical armor in front of him, and he sighed with emotion: "However, there are no large-scale forging factories, and small workshops cannot produce large-scale forgings such as plate armor in batches." Ah. And materials are also a big problem. It would be great if we could get some more armor.”

Thinking of something, he smiled and shook his head again.

To be able to pick up such a battle armor and a complete battle armor is already a great luck. Otherwise, it depends on himself, not to mention whether he can capture this high-level mechanical warrior, even if he can, he will not let him get the complete armor if he blew himself up.

Su Lun is also very content.

Have a chance to visit Mafa Mafa, the legendary Mechanic Holy Land?

A thought flashed through his mind.

The Eight-Armed Spider Lance stacked up the blueprints in an orderly manner, and he also put the mechanical warrior into the storage space.

After tidying up the house and seeing that nothing was missing, Su Lun walked out of the hotel room.

Because he made an appointment for the boat in the morning, and planned to leave Kadurante and go to the Northland.

Last night's fierce fighting left many traces in the city, and the few blocks from Oak Street to the pier were devastated.

But Kadurante is one of the most important commercial ports in the north of Luying. The daily flow of people and goods is astonishing. The port terminal resumed normal operation early in the morning.

Su Lun was walking on the street, listening to the people passing by talking about the battle last night.

But that kind of struggle at the national level has nothing to do with the vast majority of ordinary people. They should go to work, should they have breakfast or should they eat breakfast? On the pier, the porters were busy, and the sailors were also manipulating the sails and setting anchor.

Su Lun didn't plan to stay here any longer.

Although the battle last night had nothing to do with him, he participated in the killing of Viscount Primo, and he also killed several members of the Sea Serpent Gang himself, and he still has a set of armor on his body.

Staying in the city, I'm afraid something will happen.

To go, sooner rather than later.

Originally, I planned to go to the Northland to have a look, not to mention the Druid "prophecy" of the Dalu tribe.

Although Su Lun was dubious about prophesying such things, he still felt that there would be no harm in going to sea earlier.

He came to the port, registered casually, and found a merchant ship bound for the northern ice field.

Free rides, food and fresh water on board.

There are a lot of merchant ships going from Kadurante to the Northland every day, and the ship owners are also happy to take adventurers who are hunting monsters along the way. When encountering pirates and sea beasts attacking, adventurers can resist together.

Not long after, ten ships, large and small, met and sailed together with Yang Fan.

Su Lun stayed on a medium-sized sailing ship called Maupassant. The owner of the ship is a rare commodity merchant, who goes to the north to collect magic cores, meteorites, rare ores and various gems.

In addition to the crew, there were nearly a hundred adventurers on board.

Su Lun was divided into an eight-person cabin, and the other seven people in the same cabin were from a team called "Night Owl Adventure Group".

There is only one dim oil lamp in the cabin, the ventilation window is small, and the light is very dim.

After Su Lun uploaded it, he read a book in the corner near the hull.

Not surprisingly, he will spend a long half a month on the boat.

He has great night vision and can read without hindrance. The dim light also just concealed the fact that he was flipping through the fourth-order alchemy classics.

The adventurers also ignored the guy who just kept his head down and read a book without saying a word on the boat.

After boarding the boat, everyone had nothing to do.

In addition to sleeping is bragging.

The group of adventurers chatted quickly.

After listening to a few words, Su Lun also understood the relationship between these people.

The head of the group is Mark, a 40-year-old bearded, second-level "jungle hunter", and an experienced adventurer. This time he is going to lead a group to hunt monsters in the north to earn money.

There were a few newcomers in the team, from the eastern "County Wisiota". It seems that it is the first time to go to the Northland, and I am listening to the old man and the group leaders bragging about how rich the ice sheet is.

"Captain, the ice field I was covered with before was bigger than our empire, isn't it true?"

"It's not just big? It's ten times bigger, a hundred times bigger, it's almost endless! We humans have only explored a tiny bit of the coastline. Let me tell you, the Arctic Ice Sheet is not a barren land in the eyes of inland people. It's just We humans haven’t been involved in it much, so we just don’t understand it.”

"It is said that there are ancient relics that have been frozen under the ice for hundreds of millions of years. If you are lucky and can dig up some ancient relics, you might make a fortune right away. Half a year ago, the 'Hydra Slave Group' went to When capturing the slaves of the demihumans, I strayed into the depths of the silent forest, broke into an ancient temple, found several powerful cursed objects, and made a fortune."

"Captain, can we also capture slaves? Like ice giants, demi-humans, etc. I think slave auction houses can sell hundreds of thousands of slaves!"

"Slaves are not so easy to catch now. Now those sub-human tribes are far away from the coast, and they want to catch them deep into the ice sheet. But there are powerful groups of monsters there, and it's hard to say who will be the prey by then. The slave business has specialized The slave group, let's forget about it, just hunt monsters outside the ice field."

"Captain, have you ever met a sea monster? I heard that there are Jannas who don't wear clothes on the sea. They are descendants of elves. They are all beautiful and graceful, and they will repay human beings. When they meet handsome ones, they will meet at night Come on board, hehehe"

"Hehe, you kid have heard too many fairy tales. If you really want to talk about the sea monster, you still pray that we don't meet! Have you heard of the 'Song of the Sea Monster'? Hearing that stuff means death is coming There is a knock on the door. Five years ago, I saw with my own eyes a sea ship floating on the sea. The bodies of the people on the ship were intact, but their souls were snatched away. It is said that they encountered a sea monster."

"Hiss is so scary."

"Captain, I heard that there are treasures everywhere on the sea, are those "Legends of the Pirate King's Treasure" true?"

"Of course it's true! Shipwrecks, treasures, there are many treasures in this sea, and there are also ancient cities under the sea! Every year, I can hear that those lucky navigators and explorers found some. It's just that our route has been explored. It’s almost time. If you really want to find those treasures, you have to go to the unknown sea in the west. However, if you want to be an explorer, you need to have strength and a good boat. Those terrifying sea beasts in the deep sea are not vegetarians.”

"When I was young, I was a sailor on a big ship. I once encountered a super huge sea beast. It bit off half of the ship in one bite. I also took my life."

"Have you ever heard of a giant dragon? Sometimes when the weather is good, you can still hear the sound of the dragon's chant coming from far away in the west."

"There is also the story of Snakeman Island."

"Let me tell you, the most famous legend on the sea is the 'Cursed Ship'. I heard that sometimes on a foggy night, lucky people can encounter a ghost ship floating on the sea. .The ship is full of gold, silver and treasure, as well as fine wine and beauties. You can go up and take whatever you want, and revel in whatever you want. However, those who go up must come down before midnight, otherwise they will never get off. Once the ghost ship disappears, you have to go with it Be a ghost"

"."

The boat sailed for most of the day, and I heard a lot of stories.

Su Lun was also very interested.

The stories told by these old adventurers are not reliable, but at least they sound bizarre and have a strong storyline.

It also let him know many legends about this sea area.

Unexpectedly, the story of [The Ship of the Curse] is in full swing, and the strange and exciting atmosphere has just filled the cabin

Suddenly, the chief mate shouted from the deck.

"Oh, damn it! There is such a thick fog in this sea area. Be careful, we have entered the fog zone, beware of pirates and sea beasts"

Hearing this, the expressions of all the people in the cabin became strange.

Su Lun also felt that it was not so coincidental to encounter a ghost ship.

Because, it is daytime.

However, this mist is indeed somewhat abnormal.

Su Lun stripped the pirate's memory before, and now he also knows something about [navigation weather discrimination]. He looked out through the air vent, felt the air pressure, humidity, and temperature, and found that it shouldn't be the weather that could form dense fog.

It didn't take long to hear the sailors on the deck outside exclaiming as if they saw some terrifying monster: "My God, what is that!"

Thanks to 'Where's your big brother' 1500 and 'Yan Hongxue' for their big rewards and support, thank you.
