The airship in Ren's impression would have a large airbag above its head and a cabin hanging below.
Clumsy, high risk factor, slow speed, small load capacity...
That kind of thing was not developed in the previous life, and was replaced by other better flying tools.
But in this world, airships have been distorted into another way, turning into super-large steam-mechanical airships with exaggerated shapes. It is like an aircraft carrier flying in the sky, a pure steel monster, a real weapon of war.
When Ren came to the Karatva Basin, he saw the wreckage of the Mechanical City broken into several pieces, and his face showed surprise.
Although he had long known about the existence of this thing from Baron Morin's notes, he was relieved when he actually saw it.
Only if this thing really exists can his "New City Plan" be established.
However, the people in the city seem to be getting along a bit unharmoniously.
... ... .
It was almost evening when Renn and his team arrived at the mechanical wreckage.
The sky was getting dark, but construction was still going on in the high ruined wall. Magic searchlights and bonfires illuminated the entire "construction site."
The people who came first dismantled the giant steel plate armor on some of the mechanical remains, and then formed a temporary war fortress with walls tens of meters high. They then installed dense artillery and city defense equipment, giving everyone a safe place to stay. base.
The base was also attacked by the "tide of corpses". The mountain of broken bones outside the city was more than ten meters thick.
They had probably cleared out the "living corpses" that had gathered in a large area nearby. When Ren and the others arrived, there were only a few hundred scattered monsters wandering outside the city. They were being used as "targets" for shooting training by the guards on the city wall. Before they even got close to the city wall, they had already been beaten into skeletons.
Knowing that the Great Witch Sacrifice Mafa and the others were coming, two elders, "Elder of the Rain Master" Ffa and "Elder of the Insect Master" Imyu, led all the Coleman warriors in the city out of the city to greet them.
"Master Wuji! You are here."
"Dr. Lane, it's great that you are safe..."
"Hey boy, it's great that you are still alive!"
"Hey, it's a pity that I am the only one alive in our 'Green Snake Tribe'..."
"..."
The great witch priest Mafa led the two hundred people who survived from the giant flower's belly. They looked at the tribe in front of them, excited, happy and sighing.
During this war and the Black Tide, out of the hundreds of thousands of Coleman clan members, probably only less than 8,000 people survived.
Now everyone understands what happened. Looking at it again, everyone felt that the burden of the Xinhuo inheritance was on their shoulders.
Although they are used to living in jungles and thatched huts, they are not used to being "imprisoned" in this steel cage; although they are somewhat repelled by this "steel monster" that has brought great trauma to their tribe...
But at this moment, all the Colemans also understood that the mechanical castle behind them was the only "new home" that could resist the [Black Tide] and allow their tribe to continue the fire of the tribe.
Little Carl emerged from the crowd and greeted Ren with a smile: "Haha, brother Ren, I knew you were fine!"
He chirped: "What Wu Duo said before, 'When the black tide comes to the world, everyone will die,' made me worried for a while... I told grandpa, brother Ren, you will definitely be able to turn the crisis into good." "
"Um... "
Renn smiled, not knowing where to start.
But really speaking, the previous experience was really a narrow escape from death.
What surprised him was that Mr. Tust actually came in person.
Renn looked at the rosy old man in front of him, who seemed to have returned to a normal state. He was sincerely happy for him and took the initiative to say hello: "Grandpa Tust, can you walk on your own?"
"Yes. Thanks to the treatment by Coleman's witch doctors."
Tust responded with a smile.
Turning around, he looked at Renn, who had good arms and legs, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Boy Renn, it's good that you're back safely."
After a pause, he remembered something and continued: "By the way, the old man Ilubek is also in the base. I told him about our experiences during this period, but I made the old man jealous... "
"Huh? The teacher is here too?!"
Ren was overjoyed when he heard this. There had been no news about Irubek since he was captured from the laboratory by the people from Omar Blackwater Tower in Glory City.
Later, he was relieved when he heard that Ymir had been rescued.
Now that he heard that the teacher came here safe and sound, Renn was full of expectations.
He asked slightly excitedly: "Grandpa Tust, teacher, where is this old man?"
Naturally, it was impossible for the teacher to come to greet the disciple, so Ren planned to pay a visit immediately.
Tust's tone sounded a little envious: "He is in the medical room of the mechanical airship, tinkering with advanced instruments that he has never seen before. You go and advise that bad old man to take a rest. He will stay there for a month. Now, I haven’t even left the door..."
"oh?"
Ren's eyes showed a hint of anticipation as he listened.
Probably no one understands the importance of technology better than him, a time traveler. He was interested in this "mechanical airship wreckage" not only as a place to stay, but because he felt that the airship might contain a lot of top-notch technology that surpassed this era.
Those things are truly priceless treasures.
Now that I hear it, it seems like it is true!
And it can fascinate a top medical doctor like his teacher Ilubek who is used to seeing high-tech instruments. Those instruments may not be simple.
But at the same time, Renn looked at Tust, who seemed to be very leisurely, and asked: "Huh... Grandpa Tust, is it rare that you are not in the workroom today?"
He was surprised that this old man could come out of the city. Because it is clear that Tust, like Ilubek, once immersed in research, will not even think about food and tea, and will never be distracted and waste time on other things.
Moreover, now that the "mechanical airship" is in front of us, it stands to reason that the mechanics are the busiest, but the old man is actually so free
Hearing this, Tust pursed his lips, as if remembering something unpleasant, and said: "I'm just waiting for you to choose which half of the Mechanical City remains. I've almost finished the design, waiting for you to make your choice. , the old man might as well start building the flying mechanical city you want."
When Ren heard this, he vaguely thought about it and asked, "Ah? Is there something going on in the city?"
At this time, little Karl on the side said frankly: "The beautiful princess brought some machinists from the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences. Then they said that we did not have the medals for the machinists union assessment, and they would not let us participate in the Machinery City. construction work..."
But obviously, Karl was more interested in the "very beautiful princess", which was only part of what he saw.
Tust shook his head slightly and explained: "Boy Ren, I once swore that I would never provide any technical support to anyone from Oma in this life. And even if the eldest princess has great ambitions, the old man has no plans to do so." To curry favor with her..."
After a pause, he continued: "But considering that this is the Mechanical City that you entrusted to me, I should try my best to show off my old bones. But since those guys look down on us 'wild people', I'm not interested either." Get involved with them. You are just waiting for your arrival now. Choose which half of the Mechanical City you want, and the old man can help you design it... "
Ren also understood.
He really hadn't considered this level before.
The old man Tust's family was ruined by Omar's people, and his body was disabled for thirty years. This resentment will definitely not disappear just because it is gone.
If it weren't for Ren's relationship, the old man probably wouldn't even come, let alone work with people from the Royal Academy of Omar.
But now, the old man tried to do something, but unexpectedly he was looked down upon.
The assessment medals of the mechanics union are actually equivalent to the professional qualification certificates in previous lives, including junior, intermediate, senior, as well as master and grand master.
It just so happened that Ymir brought a "Mechanical Master" over to build the territory.
There are only a handful of such high-level talents in the entire Omar Empire. Only "grandmaster-level" mechanics dare to say that they can design a complete mechanical city.
People in the Imperial Capital are somewhat arrogant. Anyone who is not from the Imperial Capital is considered a "countryman" in their eyes.
What's more, in the field of mechanical technology, people who come from the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences, known as the "Holy Land of Mechanics", are indeed qualified to stand at the top of the contempt chain.
In their eyes, there are only two types of mechanics, one is the "Pheasant Mechanic" and the other is called the "Omar Royal Mechanic".
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.
The premise is that Mr. Tust is excluded.
Then, these arrogant mechanics from the Imperial Capital of Omar naturally looked down upon Tust and his grandson. How could they be allowed to participate in such a high-end "mechanical airship" research without even primary certification
In fact, Tust didn't even see the mechanical master, and was blocked by the mechanical apprentice.
The old man had always been resentful towards Omar's people. He didn't explain at all, just waiting for Ren to draw a clear line with those guys.
Speaking of this, Tust did not hide his disdain at all and said: "Humph! With a guy who is just trying to gain fame as the dean, what kind of talents can be cultivated in an academic atmosphere that hides evil and evil? Even if the technology of this mechanical airship remains is I've seen it, and there are many advanced designs that I can't even understand for the time being. It's not that the old man looks down on those guys from Omar, the remains of the Mechanical City were given to them, and they were all a waste of natural resources... "
If there were other people here, they would definitely think that this old man was talking too wildly.
Where is the mechanical master from the Royal Academy of Sciences in Oma who is not the top technical talent
To you, an old country man, it sounds like a pheasant mechanic who can't understand the design
... ...
Renn had seen with his own eyes how high the old man's mechanical skills were at the "Plague Base" before.
Looking at the entire mechanical field, the mechanical technology that this old man has mastered is far beyond the current era, which is his confidence.
Now, to put it harshly, he really felt that it would be a "waste of resources" to let someone else design this mechanical city.
Although Tust said this with a little resentment, he also had the qualifications to be so arrogant.
Ren nodded, acknowledged what the old man said, and then said, "Grandpa Tust, don't worry, I will go find His Highness Ymir in a moment."
In his mind, the chief designer of this mechanical city must be Tust.
"Um."
Listen, Tust didn’t say any more.
He knew that Ren wouldn't think he was trying to gain fame, and there was no need to explain.
But after thinking about it, he still sighed and felt a little worried about the technology: "If it doesn't work, just split it into two halves. But the best... is the whole. An airship mechanical city that far exceeds the current mechanical technology, and many designs are coherent. If the design is only half, it will be greatly compromised. Moreover, this is a treasure given to all mankind by the 'God of Steam', and it is also a major opportunity that can make a leap forward in the current technological limit of steam machinery. It is not worth splitting it for the sake of anger... . ”
Even if people misunderstood him as "greedy for merit", he really didn't want to see the wreckage that could subvert the current mechanical field be ruined.
Machinery is life to him.
Ren nodded: "Yes, I know."
