People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"Even D32 steel, the strongest known artificial alloy on Terra, can't match the strength required for the Galatron. Even if it were constructed entirely of D32 steel, the moment its engine started, it would be torn apart by its own power. The entire Galatron would be reduced to rubble because even D32 steel can't withstand the power of Galatron's standard engine."

Kal'sil threw the pile of calculations she had worked out last night directly into Fang Ark's arms. Every calculation, every formula and every design drawing on it ultimately pointed out that all the industrial materials currently on the Terra continent could not meet the needs of the Galatron body.

In particular, there is a spring in it that completely violates the existing laws of physics. Even if the materials science of the Terra continent develops for another thousand or ten thousand years, it will be impossible to produce such a thing.

After quickly flipping through a thick stack of hundreds of pages of calculation manuscripts, Fang Ark understood that the current difficulties faced by Kalshiel could be attributed to materials science, which was a large part of the constraints on the development of a civilization's mechanical industry.

Even when some super civilizations want to create some advanced machinery or other things, they are sometimes restricted by materials.

Take the life-solidification technology of the Kingdom of Light, for example. The Kingdom of Light has existed in the universe for tens of thousands of years and is considered one of the super civilizations that dominate the universe (although it itself has no desire to dominate). However, even such a super civilization took tens of thousands of years to develop the life-solidification technology that can resurrect people.

The biggest difficulty was that even if people at the time could extract something as abstract as life, they didn't know what materials could be used to fix it in the real world. The lack of materials that could fix "life" in the real world, or in other words, materials that could contain "life", was one of the reasons for the slow development of individual resurrection technology in the super civilization of the Kingdom of Light.

"Do you understand? So if you want me to continue to be able to produce Galatron on the Terra continent, then you must first solve the material problem for me. However, there is currently no suitable material on the entire continent unless we can invent it.

Unless we can invent a metal material that is better than the best D32 steel currently on the market, and a super spring material that completely violates the laws of physics.

But inventing a material is not that simple. Currently, every new material recorded on Terra takes decades from proposal to research and development to success, and the research funds invested during this period are countless. So, Doctor, when you threw this thing to me, did you really want me to learn and create Galatron?"

At this point, Klothir couldn't help but wonder if Ark was playing a trick on her when he threw the Galatron manufacturing manual and its corresponding unknown theory to her?

Why would he do this if he wasn't trying to trick her? Why would he give her something that was impossible to make?

Seeing Kal'sil's current condition, Fang Ark gently placed the calculation manuscripts on her workbench.

"So you don't want to continue now? You think that Galatron is completely impossible to create with the current Terran civilization, so... you gave up?"

Klothir glanced at Ark with disdain.

"That's a really cheap way to goad someone, Doctor. I stopped using that method when I graduated from elementary school."

After putting away the calculation manuscripts on the table, a bright fire flashed in Klothir's eyes.

Then she took out another stack of parameters from the drawer. All of them were calculated based on the description of Galakrond's performance in the book given by Ark. They were the minimum strength parameter values ​​of its body.

However, even these lowest bottom-line values ​​cannot be achieved by any material on the current Terra continent.

"But a giant robot like this, one that far surpasses all of Terra's current mechanical industrial technology, is truly fascinating. For an engineer, being able to create one myself would be simply..."

Krosier, who had occasionally gotten rid of his arrogance and revealed an expression befitting an engineer, was now biting his thumbnail, his eyes full of resentment.

"Ugh! I'm so confused!"

Lucille scratched her hair as if she was going crazy, then pounded the table hard and turned to look at Fang Zhou.

"I must congratulate you, Doctor. Even with the most extreme provocation, there's no doubt you've succeeded."

Biting her thumbnail, the fierce fire in Kulusier's eyes grew even brighter.

"Isn't it just new material? I'll study it for you."

Although I don't really want to discourage Klushier's fighting spirit, but she just said it herself, how can new materials be completed overnight?

"Although there's no way to fully meet Galatron's requirements, based on Terra's current materials, making a low-end version shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Seeing that Kal'sil seemed to be stuck in some kind of dead end, Fang Zhou couldn't help but blame himself for his mistake in his heart.

When he had given the Galatron's tool book to Krosier, he had hoped that even if the other party could not produce a standard version of the Galatron body, at least they could make a low-end version based on Terra's current materials.

However, when it comes to mechanical engineering, Krosier is clearly not the type of person to muddle through, which leads her into a dead end limited by the times.

"A low-profile version? It's better not to make a low-profile version! If I were to make a low-profile version of a giant humanoid machine like Galatron using existing Terran materials, I might as well just use Xenometal to directly make a high-speed battleship.

Otherwise, if the same materials were used, Galatron would likely be directly blown off his legs by high-speed warships like Victoria or Ursus. It's not just a matter of strength, but also because making a lower-spec version would inevitably lead to a decrease in engine power, which would affect various defensive capabilities, such as the speed and strength of the defensive magic array. At that time, the defensive magic array that could originally perfectly defend against all weapons attacks on the current Terra continent might be destroyed by a single shot from Victoria's high-speed warships.

Of course, the most fundamental factor is that Krosier's dignity as an engineer does not allow her to manufacture a low-end version of Galatron, which is now so perfect in her eyes. What is the difference between her and those profit-seeking capitalists?

"But you also said that the investment and time required to research a new material are enormous. Do we really have that much time and money to develop such a new material?"

Fang Ark's words made Kal'sil, who had been inflated with arrogance, fall flat on the workbench like a balloon that had been popped.

Yes, where does she get so much time and capital to develop new materials?

Not to mention the current economic situation of Rhodes Island, even if the new Xumagia business was opened, which brought Rhodes Island additional economic income, it has only done business with Talulah so far, and that was only more than 2000 million Lungmen coins.

More than 2000 million Longmen coins may sound like a lot, but for a project of this magnitude, such as developing a new material that is far superior to D32 steel, the strongest material currently prevalent on the Terra continent, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention that most of the 2000 million Lungmen coins were taken away by old Flin Kal'tsit as soon as they were obtained. They were used to purchase medical equipment for the medical department and to develop new drugs. There was not much left in Kal'tsit's hands.

But thinking of Xumajia, Kalciel suddenly looked at the Ark with hope. As the Doctor who had produced a series of shocking things after returning, this time he came to talk to her and mentioned Galatron. Could it be that he came here to solve this dilemma for her?

Noticing the hopeful look in Kal'sil's eyes, Fang Ark groaned, knowing that he could no longer avoid this choice.

So, under Klushier's extremely eager and longing eyes, he once again reached into the coat pocket, which in the former's eyes was now omnipotent.

He then pulled out a notebook and, under Klothir's curious gaze, he slowly spoke, "This notebook contains what you need most right now. The super spring, which perfectly transcends the laws of physics, is on page 133. However, creating that super spring requires a variety of prerequisite technologies. Although I've given you these, mastering them will take years, even with your intellect."

After hearing Fang Zhou's words, Kalshiel, who took the notes, showed a trace of confusion between her brows again.

"Several years... Doctor, let me ask you, you gave me these things in the hope that we could master the technology to independently manufacture Galatrons. I'm speculating that you hope to use Galatrons in the battles Amiya might face in the future. If that's the case, do you really have the luxury of spending so much time learning these techniques?"

Kluchil could also look at Fang Zhou, and the other party seemed to be lost in thought. He pulled a chair over and sat opposite her, tapping his fingers lightly on the workbench.

Every sound echoed in this small workshop, echoing in Klushier's ears and in her heart.

"You don't need to think too much about this. Galatron's true use isn't here. Moreover, if we want to mass-produce Galatron, we'll have to wait until we get Kazdel back."

Kazdel!

Klushier's eyes widened suddenly, and the image of the barren but meaningful land that once existed within her emerged in her mind.

He thought that the pure white king who broke into his attic and dragged him to Rhodes Island must have dreamed of the home where the Sarkaz lived.

Kazdel...

Tracy...

call--

After letting out a long breath, Klushier silently stroked the leather cover of the notebook in her hand.

"Doctor, you just said mass production, right?"

"um, yes."

"I...even though I can't make Galatron right now, some other things are still no problem for me."

As he spoke, Kulusier took out a very old-looking design drawing from the drawer and placed it in front of Fang Ark.

When Fang Zhou saw clearly what was drawn on the drawing, even he couldn't help but flash a look of surprise in his eyes. After carefully turning the drawing over and examining it, he couldn't hide his surprise in his tone.

"Whether it's you or Kal'tsit, you always surprise me from unexpected angles. But even for you, it would be unreasonable not to have some backup measures at that time."

Klushier's eyes were smiling, and her tone was filled with anger and pride.

"'Even though' is redundant."

The blueprint was placed on the workbench. Where Fang Ark's finger rested, he could vaguely see the string of words he had covered up: Rhodes Island.

At the same time, inside Longmen.

Chen Huijie was looking at her half-sister in front of her with a headache.

"I say, Tallulah."

"Ok?"

Tallulah did not have the headache or impatient expression like Chen Huijie. She turned around and looked at her sister with joy.

"I say, you are a viscount recognized by Ursus law, right?"

"correct."

When mentioning this, Tallulah proudly puffed out her chest. She had obviously suffered hardships outside for several years, but the majesty of the elder sister still made Chen Huijie's eyebrows twitch, which made Chen Huijie cough lightly twice.

"As a noble from another country, and the lord of a city, is it really okay for you to repeatedly travel to border cities in another country within just a few days?"

How many times has it happened if you count carefully?

In just less than half a month, it was obvious that the emerging scumbag was not far away from the goal, but Tallulah was able to punch the goal three times in just less than half a month.

From the perspective of diplomatic visits, Tallulah's frequent visits to Longmen are clearly suspicious. Is she a spy sent from Longmen to report intelligence? Or is she a spy from Ursus coming to Longmen to steal information?

"What's wrong with that? Everything is fine in Canaan, and everything in the city is developing in a positive direction. There are enough supplies in the city, enough for the infected to survive this winter. I will also start mining the source stone vein next to Canaan after I return. By then, the trade between Canaan and Longmen will also help Canaan's economy improve.

Look, everything is going well. Doesn't that mean I, as mayor and leader, haven't failed in my duties? So, based on that, I just want to go back to Longmen to see my aunt and sister, oh, and uncle. It's not too much to ask, right?"

There is absolutely no way to refute it.

Indeed, from an outside perspective, although Tallulah visited Longmen three times in just half a month, which seemed a bit unprofessional, there were no problems in their city and everything was thriving, so you couldn't find fault with them.

But Chen Huijie has a day off today.

Although the training was unexpected and she had no plans to rest, and could only stay at home doing nothing all day, this was not the reason why Tallulah suddenly contacted her in the afternoon and asked her to drive to the place where she was staying in Rhodes Island to pick her up.

And this guy called her private number.

After defeating the Flame Demon, Xingxiong did not report to his superiors because of the abnormal behavior on the battlefield.

She believed that her old friend would not be unaware of her physical condition, and then she asked a few questions indirectly. Chen Huijie obviously knew that her secret was known by Xingxiong. After a few prevarications, she said that she had ideas and knew how to deal with it and would pay attention. Then she stopped Xingxiong who was obviously going to report directly to the highest commander.

You said Xingxiong was just a senior inspector. How could he directly ask the highest officer to meet him? Her last name wasn't Chen either.

Who do you think is the person who helps Mrs. Wen Yue deal with her night racing records and can race against Wen Yue on the Longmen highway at night?

Xingxiong obviously knew how to meet Madam Wenyue. Wouldn't meeting Madam Wenyue be equivalent to meeting the highest official of Longmen?

Well, the highest commander of Longmen is Wen Yue, there is nothing wrong with that.

After Chen Huijie made many assurances, Xingxiong gave up on reporting the fact that Chen Huijie was suffering from oripathy. But after that, Xingxiong was obviously more concerned about Chen Huijie's daily life, and the most prominent one was his supervision of Chen Huijie's work intensity.

Everyone at the Longmen Security Bureau noticed that Officer Chen Huijie, who used to be the one most willing to work overtime and help others work overtime, had been working extremely abnormal hours recently.

The daily working hours were surprisingly controlled within 7 hours, including the time she spent walking into the Guard Bureau and changing into her uniform in the locker room, as well as the time she spent cleaning up her belongings before leaving get off work.

You know, before this, Chen Huijie worked for up to 13 hours a day, and sometimes even stayed up late to read files.

Although this officer is really focused on resting during his breaks, he also works really hard on weekdays.

He even got the people around him to fight together, causing many police officers to cry out for their lives.

Therefore, when the police officers discovered that Chen Huijie's recent working hours were obviously normal for a civil servant of the Guard Bureau, they all felt that something was going to change. Superintendent Chen Huijie, who usually worked the hardest, suddenly stopped working hard, and the Guard Bureau was going to be doomed!

This was one of the most popular rumors at the time. Later people discovered that the reason why Chen Huijie was able to get off work at a normal time was because a ghost was watching her.

Whenever Chen Huijie's working hours exceeded the prescribed time for normal civil servants, this ghost superintendent would give some kind of secret signal based on coughing, and then Superintendent Chen Huijie's face would change, and he would obediently clean up his desk and leave work.

This discovery caused a new turn in the rumors within the Guard Bureau at the time. However, as soon as this turn emerged, Chen Huijie suppressed it with lightning speed, and those who spread the rumors had their monthly salary docked.

However, some people are not afraid of this. For example, a certain film superintendent has several times jumped in front of Chen Huijie, who seems to be very abnormal at the moment, and then the two of them will engage in a fierce fight that all the police officers in the Guard Bureau love to see.

However, after that mission, Officer Xingxiong, who usually played the role of mediator between the two, always seemed to intentionally or unintentionally side with Chen Huijie during the subsequent fights. Shi Huaiya, who noticed this, said that times have changed and even didn't speak to Xingxiong for several days out of spite. Xingxiong had no choice but to tell Shi Huaiya that Chen Huijie had oripathy, otherwise this big-mouthed and overly concerned guy might say something.

Chen Huijie's adjustment of the working day was also arranged by Xingxiong, with the reason being to give all the brothers who participated in the fight against the Flame Demon some time to rest, although it was a little late.

Chen Huijie is the kind of person who works really hard, but concentrates on resting when she rests. So although this adjustment of leave was not in her plan, since it has been arranged, she will concentrate on resting on this day.

But who would have thought that Tallulah would visit Longmen again today, and then Chen Huijie's vacation would be over.

No one would feel good if this happened to them, even if the person who pulled them away from their relaxing vacation was their own sister.

"Huh—so what do you want to do this time?"

Chen Huijie was helpless. There was nothing she could do. After all, the other person was her sister.

To be honest, I was so happy when Tallulah returned to Longmen. Although I had heard news about her in the past few years, I felt that the internal integration movement was too erratic, resulting in intermittent news, and none of it was good news.

Now she has taken a step towards her ideal to some extent, and seems to be living a good life, so she feels a little better.

"Ah, nothing much. I want to see where the infected people in Longmen live."

"..."

Chen Huijie's expression suddenly became complicated.

Where infected people live.

Slums, or ghettos.

But in fact, the Longmen government does not have the concept of slums and slums. There is only the lower city area composed of mobile plots 22 to 29. In the lower city area composed of these eight mobile plots, the infected people are distributed in plots 27, 28, and 29. It is a place that is more backward and poor than the slums that Longmen people have in mind.

To be fair, even though Chen Huijie, Shi Huaiya and other young people in Longmen are still enthusiastic and believe that there should be no slums and slums in Longmen, the backwardness of that place is undeniable, and the living environment of the infected people is even worse compared to the urban area of ​​Longmen.

And now, Talulah, Viscount of Ursus and leader of an infected organization, wants to go there, even Chen Huijie can't help but have some thoughts.

Or... should we notify Governor Wei in advance?

Looking at Tallulah who was still looking around waiting for his response, Chen Huijie had this thought in his mind.
