At the same time, Great Britain, the second imperial capital - the urban area of London.
"Huh." Vivian couldn't help but frown deeply when she walked out of the cabin of the Explorer.
What she saw before her was a desolate and dilapidated landscape, which was very different from the bustling and lively urban London of the past.
The Explorer, hijacked by the enemy, escaped from the castle of the Knights of the East and flew through the streets of London, destroying and crashing countless buildings along the way. Vivian looked around and roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred
A building was involved in this accident, and the shock wave caused by the Explorer crossing the street had a wider scope of damage and greater involvement. From time to time, people's screams were heard from the wreckage of the building, which was like some kind of
The scene after a natural disaster.
Three hundred people? No, the casualties were probably more than a thousand. In short, this time it was a huge embarrassment.
"Alas." Oriental Li Daoyuan also sighed and walked out of the cabin, "No matter what our enemies are planning, they have at least half succeeded this time. The existence of the [Explorer] has been exposed, and it has caused
Such a huge public harm. If this matter is known to the media, His Majesty King Arthur will probably be blamed. Under the pressure of the masses, the research plan will have to be shelved."
"The Kingdom of Great Britain is not as fragile a country as you think, Mr. Li Daoyuan." Vivian responded expressionlessly: "We will think of countermeasures."
Whenever she is deep in thought, the expression on her face will be as calm as water.
"Listen up," she said calmly, as if she was a colleague, "this accident was just an unfortunate laboratory accident. The cause of this accident was a terrorist attack by the Twilight Cultists. The entire blame lies with the cultists."
It has nothing to do with us. We all confessed unanimously and it is enough to declare it to the outside world.
And this [Explorer] is not a special ship, it is just a tool for underground mining.
Obviously our enemies are unwilling to let us obtain the technology for underground resource development, so they are doing everything possible to hinder us. But for the future development of Great Britain, resource development is a very important part, and it must not be shelved because of a mere terrorist attack.
."
"That's it." Li Daoyuan listened knowingly and nodded frequently.
"Mr. Li Daoyuan." Vivian turned to look at the crab man: "Lianyin and I were responsible for taking away this ship. Please go back and use similar technology to copy a ship with the same appearance, but change its work content
Focusing on [underground mining]. We need a disguise so that we can evade the plan when asked. The real plan should be kept secret and must not be disclosed to anyone."
"I understand. Leave this matter to me." The Easterner carefully dragged the stone statue of Prime Minister Merlin out of the cabin, "But what about you? For such a big ship, where on earth do you have to finish the rest?"
refurbishment and testing work?"
"You don't have to worry about this problem at all." Vivian turned to look at Merlin's female assistant: "Lianyin, you and I can use the teleportation technique to move this big thing elsewhere. You should already know the destination.
Are you ready?"
"Are you really going to do this?" There was confusion on Lianyin's face. She knew that Vivian was going to take the [Explorer] back to her own secret research institute for assembly.
But Vivian's research laboratory is also her home, and the children live there. If even that place is exposed and attacked by the enemy, wouldn't it mean that the children are also in danger?
"Believe me, there will be no problem." Vivian said calmly.
Boom! Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance, and the sound came from Elsenburg. Lianyin turned her head to look curiously, and saw the location of Prime Minister Merlin's research institute with thunder and light, as if there was
Some kind of mechanism with strong current was activated.
"You deserve it." Vivian sneered.
"What's going on?"
"I knew that the enemy would not only be interested in the [Explorer], but also the [dissolvable armor] in the research institute. They stole the ship not only to delay the progress of our plan, but also to steal the completed
The anti-turbid armor can be said to kill two birds with one stone. But they are too naive. I have already set a trap in the armor's storage room. If anyone except the four of us wants to enter the storage room and steal the armor, they will be killed by millions.
The powerful current trap of volts burned it to a crisp."
"Hey, don't you want to keep him alive?" Lianyin looked surprised: "Wouldn't it be better to leave him alive for interrogation?"
"It's useless. Judging from these guys' previous suicide attacks on the research institute, all the people they sent were dead soldiers. Even if they can survive, they will find a way to bite their tongues and commit suicide without leaking any information to us."
." Vivian put her hand on the hull of the [Explorer] and urged: "Stop talking, move this thing away quickly. If more people see it and cause a big commotion, things will only get worse."
In desperation, Lianyin had no choice but to stretch out a hand and put it on the hull of the Explorer, thinking silently about the destination.
"Three, two, one, start teleportation!" Vivian finished counting down, and two senior magicians cast spells at the same time, taking away the entire ship in an instant. The Explorer disappeared without a trace, leaving only the ground
A large empty pit, as if some kind of giant beast had wreaked havoc in the city.
A rescue team composed of hundreds of British knights rushed in at this time, but most people present did not even know the ins and outs of the matter.
"Good luck." Li Daoyuan sighed again, carefully picked up Merlin's stone statue with his two huge and clumsy crab claws, and walked towards Elsenburg.
At the same time, on a construction site in Cairo, Egypt.
Pound! Pound! Pound!
Elaine the White Bear wielded a heavy hammer and smashed a wooden stake as thick as a thigh into the solid rock ground bit by bit.
This is one of the foundations used in ordinary houses. If it is driven solidly, it can keep the house stable and it will not collapse for hundreds of years. However, this ancient wooden pile driving method is not very suitable for large-scale completion by machinery. One is the cost issue, and the other is
It is also due to the special geological structure of Cairo that the depth of pile driving needs to be controlled by human hands. The machine cannot correctly sense the feel of pile driving, and often drives the pile too deep and damages the rocky ground, or drives the pile too shallow and cannot be raised.
to strengthen the foundation.
Elaine was taught to drive the piles just enough to stop when she felt the tightness of the ground. After dozens of exercises, the construction site supervisor felt comfortable letting the stupid white bear man do such a labor-intensive and delicate work.
By the time Elaine finished driving the fifth wooden pile on the construction site, it was almost noon.
"Ugh." The hot weather made Elaine feel particularly uncomfortable. He had already taken off his clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear, but he was still sweating profusely due to the heat.
As soon as he saw the white bear man stop to wipe his sweat, the supervisor immediately scolded: "Stupid bear, why are you lazy! There are still five wooden stakes left to drive! If you don't finish the work, you won't be able to eat at noon!"
"I know, I know!" Elaine quickly swung the hammer and continued working, hitting the wooden pile hard again!
"Have you not finished your work yet?" At this time, Magic Swordsman Solar also came over and asked.
He seemed to have completed his part of the job. Although he was also sweating profusely, his face was more relaxed than Elaine. He put down the sledgehammer in his hand and asked gently: "Do you want to help?"
my friend?"
Elaine hesitated: "Uh, but ------"
"Hey, don't help him!" The supervisor stopped him ruthlessly: "That's his own work, so what's the point of helping him? After you finish your work, just go aside and get your lunch box, don't get in the way!"
"
It was Solar's turn to frown: "But------"
"No, it's okay, Mr. Solar." Elaine wiped her sweat again and continued to beat the wooden stake rhythmically: "This is a kind of exercise. Just let me do it."
"Well, it's a good thing to be enthusiastic about exercise." The magic swordsman glanced at the white bear man, then shrugged and walked away helplessly: "Then just keep working hard and don't ruin your body."
"Yeah, yeah!" Elaine agreed in a low voice and continued to drive his pile.
Pound. Pound. Pound. Pound. The sound of knocking sounded rhythmically, and then spread, gradually mixed into the various noisy construction noises in the construction site. Elaine completed the piling work of another wooden pile, and then
He walked towards another wooden pile. After getting used to the way of exerting force, working gradually became much easier, so his work efficiency also became faster. Although Elaine was born stupid and was slow to learn things, he was given enough
If he takes the time to learn a skill with his heart, he can still do it very well.
Pound. Pound. Pound. Pound. The heavy hammer continued to fall on the top of the wooden piles rhythmically, nailing the thick wood into the ground. The construction noise at the construction site gradually decreased, because it was already noon, and most of the workers had stopped.
The work at hand, let’s go get the lunch box.
Gulu------Only Elaine continued to work. His stomach had begun to make a growling sound of protest, his hands and feet were a little numb, and his throat was even more dry. But Elaine subconsciously ignored it.
So much for continuing to do the work he has to do.
"Look at you, you're such a hard worker." The supervisor didn't go to lunch and kept looking at Elaine. This dark-skinned, bearded middle-aged man was sitting on a large construction stone at the construction site.
He looked the young white bear man up and down with interest.
He looked at Elaine for a long time before finally asking: "Actually, with your strange strength and invincible body, it shouldn't be difficult to make money as a bounty hunter. Is it really necessary to go to this kind of bird?"
Do you want to do heavy physical work at a construction site where you don’t poop?"
"Yes, but this is better for exercising." Elaine replied while driving the pile with her hands.
"Really, you came here to work just for exercise, not for money at all?" The supervisor smiled slyly: "Well, we will only give you a lunch box, and you don't need to pay wages."
"Well, that's not possible!" Elaine immediately became anxious: "Dad said no, you can't work for free! Since it's a job, you have to take back your pay!"
"Oh, you really listen to your father. You are indeed a brat."
The white bear man became even more anxious, and his roar doubled in volume: "E, Elaine is not a brat! Elaine has become an adult!"
"Okay, you're not a kid, no." The supervisor sneered and coaxed the white bear man, but he had evil intentions in his heart: "Then, since you are already an adult, such simple tasks that only a kid can do should not be done.
Is it suitable for you?"
He began to lay a trap for Elaine: "------Do you want me to arrange a better job for you? Although it is a bit dangerous, it is highly rewarding and will be a good exercise."
