Chapter 593: Chaotic Point Skill Network

In the port of Manila, the Silence is moored quietly at a corner of the harbor. Many reporters point at the Silence, taking pictures and taking pictures. This ship has recently become the focus of the Philippines. The auction process is very curious.

Not far away, there were also parade people holding up signs and shouting slogans, very dissatisfied with the auction of the Silence by the Philippines.

The people on the boat didn't care about those who took pictures and videos below, but when a drone wobbled up and took pictures of the boat in the sky, Cheng Ning raised the gun in his hand and snapped. The man and machine were torn apart in the air.

"Fifth." Putting down the gun, Cheng Ning grinned.

Curiosity is fine, but being too curious can kill a cat.

Does anyone know which drone was sent by Shaming?

If anyone dared to climb onto the boat in person, Cheng Ning would let them go and never return.

After letting Shaming escape yesterday, when Nan Ming and others tried to track them down again, Shaming and his party had disappeared without a trace. She has a huge team and has the authority to be close to her. She can encourage many people to help them cover their tracks. This is not surprising.

But both Nan Ming and Yang Ji have seen her face, and the two sides have also been in contact, so it is impossible to keep the mystery as before.

Besides, Nan Ming still has a trump card to deal with them.

It takes a lot of money to maintain such a team.

What if their financial resources are cut off?

Nan Ming's diamond strategy has already begun to lay out.

Yang Ji stood on the bow of the boat with his blind cane in both hands, and glanced sideways at Cheng Ning. Everyone on board, except Cheng Ning, was terrified by the stick of fear. They obeyed Yang Ji, and only Cheng Ning exception.

Yang Ji played with the blind stick in his hand, glanced up and down at Cheng Ning, feeling the urge to frighten Cheng Ning.

Seemingly sensing Yang Ji's malicious intentions, Cheng Ning ran away with the gun in his hand.

Yang Ji raised his head, looked at the huge naval gun, and sighed regretfully.

If you want to drive the Silence back, you just need to have legal procedures, and all the weapons on it must be dismantled. For example, these four naval guns have almost been dismantled at this time, and the barrel of the last gun is slowly lifted into the air under the pull of a huge crane, leaving an ugly hole.

Several 3D printing equipment started to work along the left hole, and quickly filled the hole completely. Except for the different metal colors, it seemed to be complete, and no naval guns were ever installed.

The mercenaries on the Silence stared wide-eyed at the miraculous 3D printing equipment, tongue-tied and surprised. Is this the power of modern technology?

After repairing the holes left by the naval guns, the 3D printers remained in their original positions, and no one touched them.

Few people know that these 3D printers are electromagnetic guns that are more powerful than the original naval guns. Compared with the electromagnetic gun on the Jupiter ship of the US military, Jupiter can fire ten kilograms of shells, and these 3D printers can shoot a metal body of any shape that is only the size of a ping pong ball, which is more like It's an electromagnetic gun.

The ship still retains the name of the Silence, but the whole body has begun to be repainted. Several wall-climbing robots flexibly go up and down, dragging the spray gun to move back and forth, spraying out lines of different colors, and the air is filled with a wave of spray paint. smell.

These small things are prototypes designed by the Lazy God Department. They were produced by Feng Tianyou and are intended to be used in the shipyard. They have not yet entered the large-scale production process. When I come to the Philippines, I will serve the Silence first.

If there is no accident, the Silence will also be the first customer of Feng Tianyouna Shipyard.

Among all the winter vacation business plans, Feng Tianyou's shipyard is undoubtedly the most successful, and Lanshen Investment also took part in it. Feng Tianyou, who has bulged his pockets, is starting to buy back the shipyard of the previous shipyard. The shipyard has been in disrepair for a long time, but it can still accommodate For a 6,000-ton ship, it is not a big problem to do some simple modifications.

Feng Tianyou is particularly ambitious. His idea is to build a large floating dock as the main dock of the shipyard. When the time comes, combined with the 3D printing technology of Lanshen Technology, the floating dock will become a huge offshore shipbuilding matrix, with continuous production Various machines come out.

Of course, it's too early to think about this.

The Silence is really too big, and the painting needs to be done gradually and in batches, so the current Silence looks colorful and ugly.

However, the shell of the Silence is second to none, and the most important thing is its power—the propeller.

When Nan Ming walked into the auxiliary engine room where the nuclear fusion device is now located, he saw Barton standing at attention by the wall, with his nose against the wall, and his eyes staring straight at the wall.

"What are you doing?" Nan Ming looked at Barton suspiciously.

"Boss!" Seeing Nan Ming, Barton hurriedly saluted, then scratched his head, and said, "I'm relaxing..."

What kind of relaxation method is this?

"Oh, it was Master Chen Haocong who told me that this is the miraculous oriental relaxation method, which can relieve my migraine..." Barton rubbed the side of his head. His head was injured in an explosion, leaving him with migraine sequelae.

As soon as Nan Ming heard it, he knew that Chen Haocong was playing Barton.

Patton, I don't know if it's because of his head injury. He believes what others say. The last time Turkey lied to Patton that the machine designed by Nanming was actually a huge bomb, which scared Patton a lot.

When they were on the boat, Chen Haocong and the others liked to play tricks on Patton, tricking Patton into standing on his head to cure stomach problems, and sticking to the wall to relieve headaches. Once, Chen Haocong planned to trick Patton into eating rats, but Patton was just credulous, not a fool. Not fooled.

"What's the effect?" Nan Ming asked Button.

"Slightly effective." Patton scratched his head and said.

"Oh, next time you try squatting against the wall and letting the tip of your nose touch the wall, it will have a better relief effect."

"Really?" Barton's eyes widened.

"Of course, this is backed by science. You know we Chinese use chi (qi). Half-squatting will make the Qi in your body run more smoothly. The nose is the high point of the face, and Qi is like an electric charge. The tips gather to get air through your brain and take your pain away and transfer it to the walls..."

Nan Ming watched Barton happily half squatting, pointing his nose against the wall, looking as if he was waiting for someone to kick him with his buttocks up, and suddenly felt that he had gone too far. Is it really good to deceive an honest man like this?

"Ahem, it's best to do these at midnight, because the qi in the human body is the purest at that time." Nan Ming said, anyway, out of sight, out of mind.

"Thank you boss! You are such a nice person! God bless you!" Barton grinned, "I seem to feel that my headache has eased..."

Nan Ming was tongue-tied, is this the power of spiritual suggestion?

Barton wrote down Nan Ming's teachings, and planned to try it at night full of confidence. He felt that he might have a good night's sleep that was rare in more than ten years. Turkey was covering his mouth and snickering. He was very smart. It could be seen that Nan Ming was having fun with Patton.

"Barton, what's your degree?" Nan Ming changed the subject and brought up the business.

"Boss, I studied ship power, but I dropped out of school and became a mercenary..." Barton said.

Nan Ming was very curious. In fact, being a mercenary doesn't make a lot of money. If you calculate it, it's not even as good as Lazy God Security. Why do these people still come to be mercenaries?

For example, less than half of the people on this ship are Americans. If you do anything in the United States, your income will not be lower than that of being a mercenary.

For example, Barton, Nan Ming has seen him work, maybe he dropped out of school, and his theoretical knowledge has stagnated, but his work is very beautiful, it is true knowledge that comes from practice, such a person, feel free to go A chief engineer on a merchant ship can earn a monthly salary of at least tens of thousands of dollars. On the Silence, he only receives a meager allowance in addition to his salary.

Hearing Nan Ming ask him why he didn't continue his studies, the man in his forties touched his red nose and said with a wry smile: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to stay in the country, but because we have no choice... ..."

Many of the people on the Silence were soldiers before, and they had various records of serving and going to the battlefield. Many of them, because of battlefield stress disorder, could no longer adapt to ordinary life, violent, paranoid, impulsive, etc. , Not happy in daily life, so they chose to return to such a life.

There is also a small group who are interested in the high risk and high income of mercenaries. Although the income is not high when they are on the ship, once they go on missions, they usually have a large income, which is higher than a few years of dead wages.

As for Barton, because of his criminal record, Barton was very impulsive when he was young and had seriously injured others, which basically ruined his future.

Nobody wants to hand over their turbine to a man with a violent criminal history.

After spending two years in prison, Patton was sought out by the colonel. At first he helped the colonel with some private work, and later he became a full-time chief engineer.

Nanming chatted with Patton for a few words, and basically mastered Patton's theoretical knowledge, and then asked Patton to introduce him to the situation of the Silence.

Silence has two propellers to generate thrust, which are propelled by gas turbines. It is not a small project to transform it into all-electric propulsion.

Barton took Nan Ming around the cabin for a while, and Nan Ming couldn't stand it anymore. The strong smell of engine oil and the oil stains everywhere made Nan Ming frown frequently.

And seeing the huge gear and the space occupied by the two mainframes, Nan Ming felt even more heartbroken.

The Silence is Nan Ming's first ship, and it is also his biggest toy so far. It is bigger than the shield machine in the ground. Boys always pay special attention to their toys, regardless of the cost. The same is true for Ming.

Don't think about it, you must point skill points.

Nan Ming asked a few mercenaries to bring a pile of books, handed them to Button and said, "Look at these books, which ones you can understand, and which ones you can't understand."

These are all collected by Nan Ming, books on communication dynamics, used to measure Barton's knowledge level.

In advance, Nan Ming asked experts to help him classify these books according to the level of difficulty and cutting-edge level.

Later, in fact, it is not classified by difficulty, but more like classification by branch.

Ship power has various propulsion methods such as all-electric propulsion, internal combustion engine, and steam engine. Although all-electric propulsion is the latest trend, it does not mean that other technologies have no gold content.

For example, steam engines. Many people's impressions of steam engines are Watt's steam engines and coal-fired locomotives running forward with black smoke and rattling noises.

However, in fact, even with the development of human technology to the present, the steam engine is still the most important heat conversion tool for human beings, not even one of them.

Almost all large-scale power plants of human beings are doing one thing - boiling water.

Thermal power stations use coal and oil to heat water; nuclear power stations use nuclear energy to heat water; mirror-reflective solar power stations use mirrors to reflect sunlight to heat water...

Going back further, fire was the first chemical energy mastered by humans, yet humans are still using fire until now.

It's just that its utilization efficiency is no longer the same, and I don't know how many times it has improved.

For example, in modern thermal power plants, after boiling water, the temperature of water vapor can reach 600 degrees, which is completely different from the boiling water for steamed buns.

There is such a subject called classification, which probably means that many things in this world will have self-similarity if they are infinitely enlarged, such as a big tree, a tree is a trunk plus branches, and if a branch is enlarged to The size of a tree is also the trunk plus branches, and so on, theoretically unlimited.

The same is true for the development of science, which is composed of countless technological branches.

Ship power can be divided into various disciplines such as fluid mechanics, electricity, and machinery. Each discipline can be divided infinitely, and each discipline is intersected and related to other disciplines.

In the game, technology can be developed by clicking a skill tree, but in fact, the real situation is that technology is a network, and any discipline can be used as the foundation and core, expanding in all directions, and derived from one formula. formula, extended to another discipline.

What Nan Ming asked Barton to do now is to detect where Barton is on this network, and to let Barton lead to the node of "full electric propulsion", he needs to point his skills on which node.

Nan Ming couldn't help being speechless when Barton selected some books that he could just understand and some books that he couldn't understand at all.

There are about 20 of these books. If each book is strengthened once, Nan Ming will not be able to do other things.

Wait, Nan Ming suddenly thought, maybe there is another shortcut?

He said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you scan all the books, store them in your chip, and burn them into a CD."

Nan Ming remembered that he once strengthened a book on supercomputing, and the CD in it was also strengthened.

Xiaobai did as he said, and after burning the disc, Nan Ming used the enhanced skills.

This is the first time Nan Ming used his authority in front of Barton and others. He closed his eyes, touched the disc with his right hand, strengthened his ability, and activated it!

The first time it was strengthened, the disc glowed faintly, and it seemed to become extraordinary immediately.

But the effect of strengthening once is not obvious.

Nanming concentrated his energy again, the lazy power in his body boiled up, and a ray of light flowed out, hitting the disc directly.

"Oh! Chi! (Qi)" Barton exclaimed, the boss really knows how to use Qi! (To be continued.)
