Raymond led the friends of the "Ghost Pirates" to express a sincere welcome to Colin's fiancée, Miss Nicole, and held a very warm welcome banquet on the "Golden Ghost".
The sea king caught during the day was cooked by Fat Cat into a table full of delicacies, including large chunks of charcoal-grilled meat, fish bone stew soup, fried and baked fish mouth, secret oyster king noodles...
The dishes are all delicious and delicious, and the strong aroma wafts through every corner of the ship, making people salivate.
The dinner was held in a warm atmosphere.
Even Nicole, a high-class aristocratic lady who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains, was full of praise for Sha Mao's craftsmanship after tasting the dishes.
I really agreed with what Colin said. If I really eat Sha Mao’s cooking, I will never forget it.
Nicole thought that such a big table would be a bit extravagant because the five of them, one bear and one monkey, couldn't finish it.
But she never thought that her worries were unnecessary.
The higher the level of the extraordinary body, the greater the demand for daily food. There are currently three big eaters on the ship: Raymond, Sha Mao and Jiji. Such a big Neptune cannot be eaten for several days.
.
The Neptune-like banquet to welcome Nicole ended up being a party where one person, one bear, and one monkey came to eat and drink.
Like a whirlwind, the three guys looked ugly and cleared the dishes on the table, then slumped on the chairs with their round bellies.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm and harmonious, and everyone expressed a warm welcome to Nicole, the lovely scientist lady, for joining the "ghost group".
...
The proud Mr. Dunlop was hung on the mast at the stern of the ship for most of the day. The aristocratic gentleman, who was already hungry and tender, was stripped naked and basked in the sun. Dehydration and hunger made them dizzy.
As night fell, the cold sea breeze made him more conscious, but he also heard the sounds of a banquet on the boat. The mouth-watering aroma of meat entered his nose from time to time, and made his stomach growl. His soul and
The body is suffering.
But when he heard that his niece had joined this pirate group whose crew members were all monsters, the last hope of survival arose in his heart.
He knew very well that Nicole was a kind girl, and she would never bear to have her own uncle tortured to death so cruelly.
Therefore, this miserable elder brother who "failed to rob but was raped instead" began to wail and shouted that he wanted to eat something good before he died.
Indifferently, he thought that if he could arouse the pity of his niece Nicole, he might still survive.
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated... You have no right to abuse a high-ranking noble..."
"I have the right to ask for food before going to the gallows..."
"Nicole, I beg you, please personally help your uncle end this tragic life..."
"..."
This Mr. Dunlop kept wailing, and the scenes became more and more frequent. The more he screamed, the more he sounded like a "chaste martyr" who had suffered a great injustice.
Finally, he stopped after Fat Cat stuffed a handful of stinky socks into his mouth.
but,
Once he made a fuss, many things fell into place.
Colin also took the opportunity to mention his plan to plead for Dunlop.
Nicole was also somewhat unwilling to see her uncle tortured to death, with a miserable look on his face.
The two crew members begged and begged, and finally, Mr. Dunlop, who deserved death, had a chance to survive.
Raymond pretended to hesitate for a while, but finally Anna and others took turns to persuade him, and he reluctantly agreed to the matter.
All of this was naturally heard by a CP9 captain hiding in the shadows.
certainly,
And Mr. Dunlop, who thought he was certain to die.
...
Listening to his kind-hearted niece Nicole pleading for mercy, Mr. Dunlop, who had died so generously just now, felt ecstatic in his heart.
My wailing was indeed not in vain!
In this moment, Mr. Dunlop's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster.
One moment he listened to Raymond's hesitation, and he felt despair; the next moment he listened to others urging the stubborn captain to spare his life, and he was full of hope.
at last,
As planned, Dunlop's death penalty was pardoned because of Colin and Nicole's intercession.
Nicole gave all the technical drawings she had brought from Master Connie's laboratory to her uncle, and then made it clear that she did not want to have anything to do with him in the future.
Having saved his life, Dunlop was naturally ecstatic. He did not expect that he not only saved his life, but also obtained a large number of high-end technological blueprints of immeasurable value! With these things, his Passi family will definitely be able to make a comeback in the future.
As for severing ties, he doesn't care at all!
Although he was abandoned on the severely damaged "Eight-legged Spider", for a senior mechanic, this was not a fatal problem.
Although he couldn't completely repair the ship on the vast sea, he could still at least ensure that the ship did not sink. What's more, no matter what happened, he could also send a signal to the nearest human territory to rescue him, a noble scientist.
...
On the sea, the blue waves are swaying slightly, and the moonlight is still bright.
On the deck of the "Golden Ghost".
Everyone in the ghost group watched as Fat Cat threw Dunlop onto the "Eight-Legged Spider" like trash.
Raymond, the guy who had plucked his feathers, took the unprecedented step of returning some of this guy's personal belongings so that he wouldn't die on the sea so easily.
CP9 only had one captain following him, and now there were two targets. Yeka, who was hiding in the shadow, also had to choose who to follow at this moment.
Fortunately, Raymond guessed the desired result.
Just after Dunlop was thrown off the ship, the hostility prompt in the system prompt was also transferred to Dunlop. Apparently the [Shadow Fruit] Yeka chose to follow the drawing.
After all, he has been secretly investigating with Nicole for so long, and has used both hypnosis and observation methods many times.
There are various signs that she is a completely unaware little girl.
If the "information on ancient weapons" was really leaked from her, the biggest clue might not be on the person, but on those original blueprints of Master Connie. He guessed that there might be something on those blueprints that even the code-breaking experts at CP9 headquarters had never known.
Password discovered...
...
"call..."
Seeing the hostility prompt in the system prompt getting further and further away, and finally disappearing into the vast sea, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.
Unless he had to, he really didn't want to fight a top-level transcendent who didn't know his methods at all.
Colin on the side looked at Raymond's relieved expression and asked: "Captain, is it done?"
Raymond's eyes were filled with joy and he nodded: "Yes!"
Anna and others on the side were confused and didn't understand what they were saying. They asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Raymond? You seem to be talking about something we don't know?"
"That guy is accompanied by a CP9..."
Raymond did not hide it from everyone, and told the series of previous discoveries, responses, and arrangements.
After everyone heard this, their faces were filled with shock and a little fear.
They never expected that there would be a top-level CP9 transcendent who had been secretly following them.
With his super stealth ability that can hide in the shadows, he is really hard to guard against.
Only then did Anna and the others understand that their captain, who was "never merciless in killing", had such a deep meaning in not killing Dunlop during the day.
...
The hidden danger has gone, and harmony has returned to the "ghost group".
With the addition of a scientist lady on board, the atmosphere on board was obviously more lively, with more laughter and laughter.
However, this new member, Ms. Nicole, is also a homebody. Her favorite thing to do is to quietly stay in the laboratory with Colin to tinker with inventions.
With such a childhood sweetheart who came from the same school and was also highly accomplished in mechanic technology, Colin's progress in transforming and improving the Iron Toad was much faster.
What's more, the laboratory has a batch of world-class instruments and equipment that Nicole brought from Hex City, and many super-powerful equipment on the ship that were originally unavailable to build are also on the agenda.
The ultimate design goal of the Iron Toad is a "mobile war fortress"!
The most important part of this target plan is the "multi-barrel linkage magic energy artillery" system.
Currently, there is only one super long-range artillery installed on the Iron Toad, and the number is still far behind. According to Colin's original design drawings, there will be at least twelve super long-range cannons in the final form!
When fully completed, the "Golden Ghost" will have super fire suppression, thus reaching the top level of battleship combat power in the world!
Moreover, Nicole can also provide Colin with some very professional advice on the two super projects of the 'Ultimate Magic Energy Annihilation Device' and the 'Deep Sea Combat Mecha'.
The two talented mechanics came together and collided with a spark of inspiration that they were not looking for.
The "Golden Ghost" is gradually becoming more and more mature in the direction of becoming a more complete super battleship than before...
...
It didn't take long for Nicole to gradually get used to the life of the "ghost group".
She also discovered that this was not a pirate group in the ordinary sense, nor was it a simple adventure group.
Everyone on the boat was awesome, friendly, and kind, making her feel like family. Of course, they all have a strong heart.
Because...their ultimate goal is to fight against the World Headquarters!
When she first heard the news, Nicole was quite frightened.
She never imagined that there was anyone in this world who would dare to overthrow the World Government...
In her past, it seemed to her that such a huge world organization was impossible to shake with human power. That was what she heard the most after following her uncle Dunlop on the run for several years.
But after staying in the ghost group for a long time, she gradually began to feel that her "unrealistic" goal might really be achieved.
This is a group of partners who are very passionate about their ideals and extremely persistent!
...
On this day, in the mechanical laboratory.
Colin and Nicole were immersed in research.
today,
Colin planned to weld and strengthen some pipes hidden deep in the ship's cabin. So he took out some mechanical spiders the size of fingernails to help drill into the small pipes in the ship's hull to complete some welding work that was beyond the capabilities of manpower.
Nicole found these flexible mechanical spiders very novel, so she asked: "Colin, did you make these mechanical bugs yourself? They are so small, but they can actually do such complicated welding work."
"Yes. This is a 'mechanical welding spider'."
Colin explained: "It used to require extremely sophisticated equipment to get these bugs, which was very troublesome, but now that we have the alchemy body, it's not too difficult to make this thing."
"Yeah, it's really precise, flexible, precise, and highly controllable... With these little guys, the fine forging of ships will indeed be much more convenient."
Nicole sighed with emotion. The more senior mechanics are, the more they can appreciate how extraordinary this little mechanical spider is.
She blinked and asked again: "Colin, how did you come up with this fantastic design?"
"It's not all what I think."
Colin raised his eyebrows and added: "When I was studying with the teacher, I saw a kind of 'nano-robot' in the ancient technological civilization. It can survive in the blood organs of the human body and help clean up patients and suture wounds.
..that’s where my inspiration for ‘Mechanical Spider’ came from.”
Nicole sounded a little unfamiliar with this term, "Nano robot?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. It was a top-secret research project of the teacher. I was the teacher's assistant at the time, so I only heard of this term."
Colin thought for a while and explained: "Someone found a mysterious potion in an ancient ruins, and later it fell into the hands of the teacher. As a result, after research, it was discovered that the potion was actually the 'Nano' recorded in the legendary ancient technological civilization.
Robots'! Later, the teacher secretly studied them for a period of time, and then revealed many of their magical functions..."
He explained the origin and functions of "nanobots" in detail.
After listening carefully, Nicole showed an expression of extreme surprise and exclaimed: "Oh my God! A robot smaller than a cell? If there really are such small robots, how developed is the ancient technological civilization?"
"Yes, I find it unbelievable too. What I can do now to create a 'mechanical spider' the size of a fingernail is already the limit. If I really want to create a 'nano-robot', I don't know how many decades or hundreds of years it will take..."
.”
Colin pursed his lips, with a feeling of despair, and added: "However, it seems that technological civilization is not necessarily positive to human beings when it reaches that level. Legend has it that the ancient super technological civilization was destroyed because their technology reached the extreme
, thereby creating a 'super weapon' that can destroy the world, and died in the civil war..."
When he said this, Colin was suddenly startled and his eyes turned frequently.
Another inspiration seemed to flash through my mind...
By the way, "ancient weapons"!
At this time, Colin suddenly thought of what Raymond had analyzed for him before.
The CP9 captain is here in person, and it is very likely that Nicole has secrets about her teacher’s “Ancient Weapon” plan that even she herself doesn’t know!
Colin instantly connected to something and murmured to himself: "The dormant 'nano-mechanical bugs' will not be detected by current instruments in the human body, and they will automatically charge in the human blood flow, and they will not be charged until the energy storage is completed.
It will run automatically..."
Finally, he felt that he had grasped that crucial point!
When he thought about it, if there really was a "secret" left by the teacher in Nicole, then the method that the World Government could not figure out after repeated investigations was most likely - "nano-robots"!
Nicole on the side didn't know why. She saw Colin's expression became very strange, and asked doubtfully: "Colin, what's wrong with you?"
Colin stared at Nicole with burning eyes and said slowly: "I think... I may have discovered the secret left behind by the teacher!"
"ah?"
Nicole felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by that gaze.
But before she could ask any more questions, Colin took her hand and asked her to sit on a chair nearby.
And...connected the wires?
Although Nicole thought this move was crazy, she did not resist at all. Instead, she asked curiously: "Colin...you don't want to electrify me, do you?"
Colin seemed to be possessed and said: "According to the teacher's research, 'nanomechanical bugs' will respond to bioelectricity and a specific 36V alternating current. If the charge is sufficient, those mechanical slaves will wake up from dormancy..."
"ah?"
Nicole was still a little confused when she heard this nonsense.
But after all, she is also a top scientist. Suddenly she thought of something and exclaimed: "You mean, if Master Zeng really leaves information on me, it is possible that the 'nanomechanical bug' will be placed on me." Injected into the body without knowing it?”
"Yes! Only in this way can we avoid the eyes and ears of the World Headquarters, and the teacher can convey the message he wants to convey without anyone noticing! Because you don't know it yourself, even if you are caught by the World Headquarters, It will never be seen through. Because, apart from me and the teacher, no third person in the world knows about that technology!"
Colin's eyes shone brightly as he said, "Since the teacher was able to send me out in advance, he must have discovered the World Headquarters' conspiracy long ago."
After thinking for a moment, he felt more and more that his guess was correct, and sighed: "I should have thought of it a long time ago! How could a wise man like the teacher not even notice that the black hands of the World Headquarters had reached into the laboratory..."
