Above the Pirate King

However, new problems gradually emerged.

The money is not enough!

The more he studied, the more he discovered his own poverty.

Although there are processed fruits, various expensive raw materials also need to be purchased!

It is impossible to produce something for him out of thin air by processing the fruit!

Several million Baileys simply cannot support his research and development.

So for more than ten years, while continuing to research and develop, he looked around for people who could support his research.

For those wealthy nobles, the king is his first target.

It's a pity that the nobles and kings he found to support his research and development could not understand the results of his research!

In their opinion, if they have the money to study mechas, they might as well just recruit a few more powerful guards instead of carrying this huge thing every day.

At this moment, he saw the talent recruitment notice on the western poster!

So, he brought his strongest mecha over.

……

Isn't this a tech house?

This was Arthur's first thought!

"Don't worry, Master Maker, you can do whatever research you want here!" Arthur said boldly.

"Really?" Meck couldn't help asking.

"Of course, there is no problem. I will give you [-] million St. Martin coins every year as research funding!" Arthur said with a smile.

"Saint Martin coins? How many Baileys is that?" Meck asked puzzled.

"Billion!"

"One billion!!!" Meck said in surprise.

Holding his forehead, he suddenly felt unsteady.

It felt as if a pie had hit his head from the sky, and he was dizzy all over!

"That's right!" Arthur nodded affirmatively, then changed his voice, looked at the mech and asked involuntarily, "By the way, Master Maker, what kind of fuel does your steam mech use?"

Arthur is quite curious about this, what kind of fuel can drive such a large machine when burned?

If possible, he even wants some fuel like this to be used on the conquerors, so that the conquerors don't have to bring a lot of coal every time they go to sea to start the steam engine!

"This is the super coal I processed with my fruit power!" Meck replied proudly.

"Super coal?" Arthur asked puzzled.

"It is to process and fuse hundreds of pieces of coal with my ability, so that the volume becomes smaller and burns longer, so that there is enough power to start this big guy!" Meck explained.

Hearing this, Arthur was a little disappointed. If this is the case, wouldn't mass production be impossible?

However, he soon put his disappointment behind him, looked at Meke, and now he is very satisfied to have such a talent!

"By the way, Master Maker, why are there two swords on this mech? Why not just put cannons on it?" Arthur asked puzzled.

"Cannon?" Hearing this, Meke's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "It's a good idea! Why didn't I think of it? After installing the cannon, the steam steel giant will have the ability to attack from a distance!"

Uh... so I didn't expect it!

Arthur was speechless for a moment.

However, he still discussed it with Meck enthusiastically.

"Master Meck, you see that the seat has no protection on it. If I am an enemy and shoot the operator directly, isn't the mech equivalent to useless? I think it is best to add a layer of protection to the seat! "

"I've thought about this too, but it doesn't work! Once you have protection, you won't be able to see it!"

"Master Maker, have you heard of bulletproof glass?"

……

The two started discussing it with great interest.

Although Arthur doesn't know how to make mechas, or even the principles inside!

But he is creative and imaginative!

After Meck heard his ideas, he couldn't help but be attracted to them. Although there are many things he can't do, it doesn't prevent him from absorbing what can be done in these ideas!

Soon, under the chat between the two, a steam mech called a war machine appeared in their minds.

Meke didn't bother to continue chatting.

Urging Arthur to prepare a laboratory for him, he wanted to make this war machine.

Arthur was also unambiguous, and took Meke directly from the underground train back to St. Maarten. After he was settled, he also gave him [-] million St. Maarten coins.

Chapter 68 Entering Sky Island

After Meck entered St. Maarten, his whole body fell into a state of carnival, and he began to study the war machine he and Arthur discussed that day.
