Chapter 3127: The First Order of Alpha Company’s Hardware Department (Part 3)

Murphy complained:

“I’ve already said, the levels of civilization between the two sides are fundamentally on different dimensions, so there’s no need for you to feel regret for our backwardness. We are merely at a stage in their civilization’s history, and if we can survive the malice brought by the chaos invasion, we will one day reach that level. Let’s not talk about those distant matters. Can you make just this level of engine?”

“We can! But modifying the production line will take time.”

After carefully examining the blueprints for several minutes, Minkus finally replied:

“The initial production capacity definitely won’t be high; it will take at least half a year to produce in bulk, and that’s only if we’re solely responsible for the engine. As for its corresponding weapon and the required fuel formula…”

“The Transia People will handle the weapons; the assembly plant is also on our side. Elves will serve as raw material suppliers, and humans will be in charge of tightening screws. As for the fuel issue, I’ve heard there are natural crude oil lakes in some remote areas of the Ligurian Peninsula, but the Half-body Men discovered Burning Gold and didn’t focus research efforts in that direction. Fortunately, our foreign friends also have a complete technology tree of the oil industry that we can reference.”

Murphy clapped his hands and said:

“Once this weapon is mass-produced, we’ll be able to dominate the skies, and flying will no longer be the privilege of vampires.

Of course, this is just the beginning!

To face the endless supernatural creatures from the chaos and disorder in the future, we need more advanced weapons. Given that life forms cannot evolve in a short time, we can only arm our warriors with powerful weapons as much as possible.

When subspace aberrations invade this world someday in the future, they will face a Mortal Legion equipped with smart weapons.

To achieve this goal, I also need to order a batch of cannons from Charldo Harbor.

Not the small-scale mortars, but genuine large-caliber War Gods. Our friends from another world will share their advanced artillery manufacturing techniques with the Half-body Men, along with a series of mechanical items suitable for our current technological level.

I believe this is the future position of the Half-body Men in the continental civilization system.

A group of pacifists who hold war resources, ensuring these items in your hands won’t be misused on a large scale.

Of course, our foreign friends shared these valuable powers with us to help us fight against the strong enemies of civilization, not for us to use these weapons for internal conflicts.

I really hope the Steam Lords can uphold the bottom line and not be used as tools by ambitious people.”

“We will.”

Minkus put away the blueprints and said seriously:

“Having been awakened by war, we are more aware of the preciousness of peace, and I assure you, Governor Murphy, the Half-body Men’s weapons won’t be used in the civil wars of continental civilization.”

“That’s good, I trust your integrity, sir.”

Murphy sat up and took the already obsolete fourth-generation Calculating Pearl in his hand and said to Minkus:

“I’ve always been committed to enhancing the experience of the different world people in our world. The Calculating Pearl plays a very important communication role in this. Now that you’ve mastered the ability to mass-produce them from the knowledge left by Old Bach, why not mass-produce these advanced items? I want ten thousand to replace the operation interfaces for my warriors. Of course, there’s also the personalized customization service. The gold content of the fourth-generation pearl is already sufficient to ensure comfortable personal settings, right?”

“Of course.”

Minkus immediately became radiant when his old trade was mentioned and said:

“I learned from Senior Brother Feilun about several requirements the different world people have for the Calculating Pearl. If you are sure about placing such a large-scale order, I will modify the original template of the fourth-generation pearl. Except for the unnecessary functions, new connection modes that can interact with vehicles will be added. This way, the warriors won’t need to learn complex engineering theories to use their new generation of Calculating Pearls to operate various mechanical vehicles. Our vehicle factory has also received a large number of orders from the People’s Army to produce a vehicle called ‘motorcycle’ for them. Actually, we were more interested in trucks, but I heard that the Winter Wind Vehicle Factory in Transylvania has already taken up that project. The five-wheeled Major there has been trying to get us to accept an order for a war vehicle named ‘tank,’ but its function overlaps too much with walking machines.”

“Then why not change our perspective.”

Murphy blinked and said:

“Combine the firepower platform and high defense of the tank with the agility advantage of a walking machine to produce a new type of weapon that better suits our combat needs. In this regard, bigwigs from the different world industries will definitely be interested, so as an outsider, I won’t comment further here. Lastly, what do you think of the creator’s ‘oracle’?”

“What else can I think?”

Minkus sighed and said:

“I can’t let Twilight take back those weapons designed to protect the world and cause calamity again. So, after the Sanghai Empire opens its borders, Senior Brother Feilun and I will take time to go there and assist the different world people in completing the reactivation of the Solar Ship and other Creator Technologies. I believe both sides can gain valuable experience from this. Twilight is our enemy! The war and tragedy that occurred on the Ligurian Peninsula have already placed the Half-body Men in an endlessly hostile position against them, and we are willing to participate in anything that can thwart their ambitions. I also received a message from Little Bach last night. I know what she intends to do, and I will fully cooperate with her investigation efforts in the Adventurers’ Guild. Princess Qiuchote accuses us of using the guise of exploration to bring White Devils into their land, and I deeply regret this. If it proves that the organization we Half-body Men established to explore the mysteries of the world has become the breeding ground for Twilight’s harm to the world, then please trust me and the other lords to act decisively in this matter, Governor Murphy. No need for you to intervene, we will personally carry out the ultimate punishment on the Adventurers’ Guild!”
