Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 819: Financial crisis

Qianye knelt down in front of her, caressing the metal skeleton. Even in the real field of vision, nothing unusual can be seen. However, Qianye was far from being able to see through the space, so it was normal for him not to be able to see that this was space equipment.

Qianye flicked his fingers again, and there was a crisp echo under his finger, which sounded like a metal echo, although he didn't know what it was made of.

"It's not metal, it's actually a beast bone, taken from the skull of a giant void beast. It naturally has a small space attached to it, and it's one of the most important treasures of our clan." Qingyue said.

"Such a precious treasure is actually placed on your body?"

"It's for the convenience of stealing the blood of the earth dragon and other possible treasures." She was very honest.

Qianye nodded and stood up.

Looking at his expressionless eyes, Qingyue couldn't help shivering. She suddenly remembered that when he surrendered that day, Qianye had said that if he found the slightest restlessness in her, he would kill her immediately. As for the possession of weapon energy, no matter how you think about it, restlessness can not only explain it.

However, Qianye suddenly had sunshine on his frosty face, and returned the dagger and Heijing to Qingyue, saying: "The knife is good, you can use it. Heijing can also be used."

Qingyue was stunned on the spot. Is this the unlocking of weapons and energy? Aren't you afraid that she will play tricks behind your back

Seeing Qianye turn and leave, Qingyue was really confused and couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"No reason, I'm in a good mood."

Qingyue was confused by this answer. She suddenly saw little Zhu Ji beside her, her eyes lit up, she leaned over, squatted beside Zhu Ji, and asked softly, "Did you encounter any problems when you went out this time, my lord?"

Little Zhuji thought about it for a while, and said, "He went to see his sister, and then she was driven back by her, that's all."

Qingyue is even more confused, this doesn't sound like a good thing, it can make Qianye "in a good mood". She suddenly thought of a possibility, what if Qianye was talking ironically? As soon as this idea appeared, it became stronger and stronger, and there was evidence to support it. Many history books say that the more powerful officials want to kill, the more they will smile at that person.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. At this time, Qianye's voice suddenly sounded beside her ear: "Come here."

"Ah!!" Qingyue was thinking wildly, when she suddenly heard Qianye's voice approaching, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but exclaim.

Qianye was standing by the lake at the moment, looking at Qingyue inexplicably, and said, "What are you screaming for? I won't eat you. Bring those blueprints here."

Qingyue regained her composure, hurriedly ran to the wooden house, brought out all the design drawings, placed them in front of Qianye, then stood with her hands down, standing aside, waiting for orders at any time. This is her most core job, and it is also the foundation of protecting her life, so she attaches great importance to it. There is a thick stack of design drawings placed in front of Qianye at this moment, all of which are painstaking efforts.

Qianye picked up one, looked at it carefully for a while, and then looked at the next one. When he was flipping through the design drawings, Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling alive. It's no wonder that she is so fragile. When she didn't have enough courage to embrace death for the first time, she would be extremely afraid of death the second time.

Qianye flipped through all the design drawings, which took a lot of time and gave him a headache, but he still couldn't understand it. However, he didn't intend to understand it at first, he just wanted to check Qingyue's results. At least on the surface, Qingyue has never been idle these days, and spent most of her time on these design drawings. As for occasionally taking some time to build a house and tidy up the garden, this is also human nature, but it is even more lovely.

Qianye put down the design drawing and asked calmly, "Now what do you think we should do first?"

"Engine." Qingyue replied without hesitation.

"Engine? Why? Don't we already have an earth dragon heart as a driving force?" Qianye was a little puzzled.

"To put it bluntly, the current Hall of Valor is a moving earth dragon slough. The reason why it can fly is entirely because the earth dragon skeleton has its own floating ability, and it is driven by the heart. But don't forget, the earth dragon The dragon is dead after all, all we can use now is the remaining instinct of its body. Do you think it flies very fast?"

Qianye nodded. He also understands that the speed of the Hall of Valor is only faster than the cargo ship at the moment. If it is not able to travel through the void, the military floating warships that come soon will be able to outrun it.

Qingyue took out a design drawing, pointed to the complex spider web-like pattern on it, and said: "The power generated by the earth dragon's heart is extremely precious, I believe that the finger king should leave a series of designs in order to use this power. The power of the void behemoth can be said to be the top-level energy source. With it, we can build many devices that could only be realized on blueprints in the past. How can such energy be wasted? Therefore, ordinary engines are still used for daily flight. Good. And the space in the Hall of Valor is so huge, we can store enough fuel for several years of flight.”

As soon as she came to her professional field, Qingyue became extremely confident and talked freely. Qianye was taken aback for a while after hearing this long speech, but he still didn't quite understand it. He has no idea where the power of the earth dragon's heart is and how to use it. And the Finger King is also an irresponsible guy, throwing a half-finished Hall of Valor to Qianye just like that. The special designs that Qingyue conjectured that could use the heart of the earth dragon did not exist at all.

Qianye slandered and pointed at the Extreme King in his heart, and kept nodding his head, expressing that he still listened to it, as for whether he understood or not, he naturally wouldn't say, even if he was as smart as Qingyue, he wouldn't ask.

But there is one thing Qianye understands, that is, first of all, some conventional power engines must be equipped, on the one hand, it can increase the speed and flexibility of the Hall of Valor, and on the other hand, it can also save the void force absorbed by the earth dragon's heart and bones. down.

As for the lack of equipment that can use the power of the earth dragon's heart for the time being, it is not a problem at the moment. These powers can be used to grow flesh and gradually improve the hull without wasting it. And when crossing the void, the earth dragon's natural defensive force field also consumes heart power.

"What about the specific plan?"

"This..." Qingyue hesitated, and after thinking for a while, she said: "There are a few feasible solutions. One is temporary and will definitely need to be replaced in the future. The other is a one-step solution, but... a bit expensive."

At this moment, Qianye has killed nearly a thousand mercenary hunter killers, and treasures and black crystals are piled up like a mountain in Anduya's space. It is the time when the money is rich and powerful, so how can they care about this? The last thing he is afraid of hearing is "a bit expensive". Immediately with a wave of his hand, he said proudly: "Just use a one-step solution, expensive is not a problem!"

Qingyue cheered up, and then smiled and said: "This plan is a combination of an engine and a power sail. The plan is to hang a power sail on each spine mast, which can save a lot of space for storing fuel. But The current largest power sail is also too small, so the power sail we finally use is spliced together, and each piece needs eight pieces of the largest standard power sail. In addition, because of the high driving force requirements, only the top-level sails can be used. Power sail splicing. Of course, if you can customize a special limited edition power sail in the future, that would be even better!"

Hearing this, Qianye suddenly felt his heart tremble, and his eyes went dark.

The price of power sails of different grades varies greatly, but the things used on floating battleships are not really cheap. As Qingyue said, the highest grade and largest single power sail would cost at least a few thousand imperial gold coins. Even a large floating warship only needs five or six cards.

However, the power sail required by the Hall of Valor requires eight sheets to be assembled, and the Hall of Valor is thousands of meters long from the head to the tip of the tail, and has more than a hundred spines. Even if only dozens of the largest ones are hung on the power sail, at least It will also consume two or three million imperial gold coins. In Yongye, hundreds of thousands of gold coins can arm a division of the expeditionary army.

Now Qianye is equivalent to hanging 20 expeditionary army divisions on the spine mast, which is still the minimum configuration. If it is calculated carefully, and the power sail that provides acceleration and deceleration, steering and balance is also added, the cost may be doubled.

No matter how rich Qianye's net worth is now, he can't stand such a trick. Most mercenaries don't have much money, only high-level mercenary hunters and gold medal killers have enough money. So adding it all together, Qianye only made a fortune of more than one million yuan. Of course, Qianye's net worth is far more than that. The problem is that it is really valuable, such as the barrel of the finger king, Dongyue, the original wing, and the book of black, none of which can be sold.

Only now did Qianye truly understand that the floating battleship was a bottomless pit of melting gold coins, and the few fleets of the empire had been accumulated bit by bit over hundreds of years. The same is true for Yong Ye's side. The Duke and Prince's ships seem to be infinitely powerful, but in fact, most of them took hundreds of years to build and perfect bit by bit. It is not surprising that the Maharaja's ship took thousands of years to build.

Therefore, on the battlefield between the Empire and the Eternal Night Fleet, it is rare to see these ancient giant ships that are powerful enough to influence the battlefield situation. The real reason is that, not to mention the duke and prince, even the maharaja is reluctant.

As for the Hall of Valor, this unprecedented floating giant ship can even be called a battle fort in the air, and the cost is even more astronomical. Just one branch of the power system, the power sail, and it is the lowest number of configurations, has made Qianye, who has recently felt like an upstart, on the verge of bankruptcy. If you want to build the entire battleship to perfection, you don't know how much it will cost. At least, that is a number that is huge enough to make the clan desperate.

Qianye suddenly suspected that King Zhiji gave up the Hall of Valor because he had no money, right

No matter how maliciously Qianye speculates about the Finger King, now that the Hall of Valor is in his hands, this huge expense is destined to fall on his head.

Qianye settled down, put on a smile, and asked softly, "Qingyue, do you have any other plans?"
