Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Why does this pendant look so familiar to me?"

"It was a gift from Alpha. She said that if the sculpture is finished, hang it up and touch it. You might get a surprise."

The ghost shark touched the pendant hanging on the white neck of the sculpture, and then in Skadi's confused eyes, a soft light spread out from the pendant. This light filled the air and formed a cage of dusk. , shrouding the sculpture.

Skadi and Laurentina both heard the sound of stones breaking and the collision of stones grinding against each other behind the hazy light curtain.In the shock of the two of them, they didn't know how long it took before the sound gradually stopped and the light faded.The pure white girl whose eyes were covered with flowers moved, and the statue carved from white marble came to life. She stepped off the base and raised her skirt to the two of them.

"Hey, Laurentina." Skadi noticed that the ghost shark was stunned on the spot, "What's wrong with you?"

After being grabbed by the arm and shaken again and again, Ghost Shark came to her senses. She looked at Skadi in shock, and then at her "ideal and perfect self" whose eyes were covered by flowers.

"I'm very good……"

At this moment, Skadi noticed Laurentina and the living sculpture girl, and the same curved smile appeared on their lips at the same time, "And it couldn't be better."

95. Thoughts caused by airbags

A traffic accident recently occurred in the Grand Knight. Two nobles were racing and fighting on the ring road in the outer city. In the end, a serious rear-end accident occurred. The accident resulted in two deaths and two injuries.

Shortly after the accident, Huihuangdun Industry held a press conference to announce to the public the advanced safety protection systems that the company's upcoming new models will be equipped with.And released a test video. In the test video, Huihuangdun Industry used the two new concepts of real vehicle multi-point collision test and dummy test for the first time, demonstrating the upcoming new safety protection system in all aspects. Protective function for the life safety of drivers and passengers.

"She can always see things that I take for granted and ignore." Kelsey said with emotion when she saw the press conference.Those are just some things that should be common sense. Airbags and air curtains, rigid energy-absorbing frames, and Terra's local industry don't even need much technological innovation, but no one has ever created them before.

Dr. Kelsey trimmed her hair and put a hand on Kelsey's shoulder covered with Originium crystals. "Actually, you should change your words, Kelsey, Alpha. Her eyes never left. More than 'people', she is willing to show equal pity to an entire civilization and a certain individual."

"Hey..." Kelsey sighed, "Although I hate to admit it, this is indeed something I can't do."

"We are not high-dimensional creatures. We cannot always maintain endless energy and enthusiasm. We cannot demand ourselves to be as comprehensive as Alpha in everything. It is enough to do what we can do."

"You can see clearly."

"Hahaha——!" The doctor laughed, "It is my lost past that taught me to cherish the present."

At this moment, a film walked past their office, and they could hear her talking on the phone.

"Yes, father, yes, I think it is necessary. Yes, yes, I have asked someone to send you all the public information I can get."

The doctor turned his head and looked over. The petite dark gray and blue figure gradually moved away and disappeared around the corner. "Is it that little girl Jessica?" the doctor asked Kelsey curiously.

Kelsey nodded, "It's her, a cooperative operator from Black Steel International. Her family has considerable influence in Black Steel International, and recently she applied to collect some Brilliant Shield Industries through the channels of Rhode Island. Public information on new cars and new safety systems.”

"I remember her as a child who was always unsure of herself and always felt that she was not doing well in tasks."

"Her grades are actually pretty good."

"Well, her hand holding the gun is very steady, and her aiming and activating skills are also very skilled. Outcast has praised her." The doctor recalled the Jessica in his memory, who was always very shy, The little girl said with a little embarrassment, "Perhaps a businessman or economic analyst is more suitable for her than a mercenary from Black Steel. But the job of a mercenary is also her own choice."

"Maybe I'm training myself." Kelsey smiled, "We are not experiencing training again and again."

"Speaking of which," mentioning the old lady Outcast, the doctor remembered that he had postponed a lot of things that needed attention because of Casimir's affairs, "What happened to Victoria?"

"The building is about to collapse, and the storm is surging." Kelsey glanced at the doctor, her eyes full of thoughts and worries.

……

At the same time, Corusil was wearing a hard hat and an operator from the Rhode Island Engineering Department, conducting a large-scale renovation of the Rhode Island lower deck, which was originally used as a cargo warehouse and various miscellaneous compartments. , borrowing the production equipment and high-grade materials provided by the Life Star, they plan to recycle and dismantle a large amount of debris from all over the land that was originally piled in these areas, and then move a set of land cruisers onboard Production facilities are installed in the organized space.

This modification was not her whim, but came from the technical drawings given by prts. After browsing the drawings, Kelsey confirmed that they were the original blueprints of Rhode Island, and now with Alpha's equipment technology, they It is really possible to restore some of the free space on the lower deck to its original function.

"These changes will not affect the stress structure of Rhode Island. The biggest challenge is the transformation of the linked power system, so now we can only try to carry out the transformation of the A2 to A6 decks, which accounts for 5.00% of the entire plan. This part It was the original hangar lift shaft. After modification and restoration..."

"I know what you are thinking, but I tell you very seriously that for the design and manufacture of aircraft, you have to go to Alpha in person to ask for authorization and design plans. And as long as she doesn't give us a set of her production equipment, we will never dream of it. There is no one who can fly a plane at high altitudes."

"Really not?"

"There is a huge difference in the design of near-Earth vehicles and high-altitude aircraft, and no one on this earth has mastered the knowledge involved. If you have not turned a deaf ear to the stories told by Alpha, you should understand that each aircraft looks Behind very ordinary modern aircraft, there must be a country with a complete industrial system. Even if it seems that those aircraft can be manufactured by a small vehicle production facility, the aviation science and technology behind them is condensed and experience, have surpassed the knowledge of all countries on this land."

"A country with a complete industrial system, a new highly in-depth academic system..." Lucille's expression suddenly lost. This term was too far for her, and it was far beyond her. the efforts you can make. "We can't do it, Sakaz can't do it, not even Victoria and Colombia can do it..."

Qian;!Xun.;;?, free of charge;"":小?.'said::skirt?,!2:".5".5".:5!9:5!3!'"0 ":0 "Instead of building aircraft, I suggest that you first promote the transformation of the two jump decks, M5 and M6 areas. If you can complete [-]% of the transformation expectations, we will be able to produce a small amount of heavy-duty vehicle equipment and use the ship The production of heavy-duty vehicles by carrier equipment will have a positive impact on Rhode Island's field work and commercial revenue. "

But Lucille nodded helplessly. It had to be said that in this matter, Kelsey took a longer-term view than herself and was much more down-to-earth.

The current economic situation in Rhode Island is not optimistic. Even with all the help provided by Alpha, the reason why Rhode Island accepted the invitation to come to the Grand Knight Territory this time is because Rhode Island is serious about doing business. , otherwise we won’t even be able to burn the Originium Mine...

"Before Alpha's Siesta project is implemented, we should not proceed with large-scale renovations. Rhode Island cannot afford the corresponding costs. We need to be down-to-earth."

96. Untitled

"I think from any point of view, you are not qualified to make such a request to me." Alpha answered the phone, "Well, I know you are the representative of the Federation of Commerce, but so what, as long as I Make a phone call now, and 35 upstream and downstream companies will go bankrupt next quarter. Industrial defaults and debt defaults will cause widespread financial shocks, and half of the business federation will be crumbling because of your arrogance."

The voice on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment when he heard Alpha's tone.

"I know what you want to say. You want Fallos to come on stage and kill that little girl from Linguang's family. And my answer remains unchanged. Fallos has already accumulated enough points. The games in recent days have made her She is tired, and we refuse to accept a match that would compromise her status for the Major. I care more about her feelings, and our own reputation, than the meager benefit you promised, dear Mr. Committee member, I hope you will not overestimate your influence and energy."

The person on the other end of the phone said something again, and judging from the expression on Alpha's face, the other person didn't seem to back down yet.

"She needs to rest before the major tournament. If you continue to interrupt, a report about you will immediately appear on the desk of a well-known media editor in Casimir. I hope you will consider it carefully. "

Alpha just hung up the phone when Xu Yu walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, her long wet hair draped over her shoulders, reflecting beautiful light against the afternoon sun.

"What's wrong?" She noticed the displeasure on Alpha's expression.

"It's already the third one. I want you to step in and block Maria from the official tournament of the Major."

Xu Yu stretched out her fingers and twirled her hair, looked at Alpha who was speechless and asked, "But Maria has already accumulated enough points to enter. Even if she loses a game now, it will not affect this decision." The result."

"You are right, so they asked for some special means to prevent Maria from participating in subsequent games."

"Did they discover the dirty tricks we did against the Rusty Bronze Knight?"

"No, they didn't even think of us about Engla's serious illness."

"Then why did they come to us..."

"Because we are from outside, we have no entanglements locally, and we have not shown any connection with Linguang."

"Alpha and Xuyu" as people know them still live on the Life Star in the port and often run to the city.And "Coliver and Fallows" pair up every day in the Brilliant Shield Industrial Building and the nearby high-end hotel.

"So you rejected them all, right?"

"Of course." Alpha nodded. She expected to encounter such a situation, but the tone of those business representatives when they mentioned this matter made Alpha feel extremely disgusted.

"Keeping little Maria out of the Major was not in my plan, but right now, there's not much I can do for her."

"I'm a little worried. They are willing to call twice to discuss the matter. Maybe they will prepare other methods to see whether Maria will be in danger."

Xu Yu really likes that hard-working pony. She is not willing to give up even at the last moment, and her eyes are unyielding.Although Maria's competitive strength is not strong, she can be said to be the image closest to the ideal "knights" in books and movies that Xu Yu has ever seen in this arena.

Alpha nodded, picked up a newspaper from the table and handed it to Xu Yu.Xu Yu took the newspaper and sat on the edge of the coffee table, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, while Alpha brought a headscarf and a hair dryer to take care of her damp hair.

"The Far Fang Knight was involved in a fan fight and was seriously injured..." Xu Yu subconsciously read the front page title of the Four Cities Sports Newspaper, "I remember Maria had a two-on-two match today. She As an independent knight, she has no teammates, so Aunt Zofia hired a partner for her.”

"That partner is the Far Fang Knight who was attacked."

"Someone has resorted to tricks." Xu Yu frowned. After this period of contact, she was already familiar with the dirty things in the knight competition, so she could only say that she was not surprised by this. "I remember Malia's game was about to start."

"Fire Blade Arena, now it's her game after this one."

……

In the auditorium of the Flame Blade Arena, Shirter sat next to Zofia with a gloomy face. The organizer refused to allow her to play for Maria on the grounds that she had no competitive points and no official status as an infected knight. Assistance, and within a short period of time, it was impossible for Zofia to contact other knights who could rush to the scene to provide assistance to Maria.

More importantly, this unrestricted two-on-two match has some infuriating rules that prohibit players from abstaining. In other words, if there are no accidents, this will be a fight to the death.But now that one person on Maria's side is absent, the game has become two-on-one, and there is no competition and fairness at all.

During this period, he served as Maria's swordsmanship coach. This hard-working little girl left a good impression on Shirte. When she encountered this situation, Shirte, who had a straightforward temperament, stood up for her from the bottom of his heart.

Alpha suddenly sent a message saying that she had informed Margaret about the match.The Glory Knight, who had already received the news, could theoretically arrive at the scene in time, but if Maria received a real life threat before she arrived, she hoped that Shirter would not hesitate and take action when it was time to take action.

Shirter tightened her grip on her sword. She had a very uncomfortable feeling. Maria's opponent this time was definitely not the usual competitive knights.

Zofia, who was sitting next to her, frowned when she saw the two figures appearing on the playing field.

They were two tall Sakaz, wearing heavy armor and exuding an ominous aura. Along with them, there were large amounts of smoke and dust.Those smoke and dust

At first, Big Mouth Mobu said that Maria's opponents this time were two knights from the Snow Heel Knights, but Zofia didn't know that there were two such guys in the Snow Heel Knights.

"Corruption and decay, what the hell kind of title is this? I've never heard of anyone using this kind of title." Zofia murmured.

Shirter didn't pay attention to her words. Her attention was already focused on those two people. She could even feel the faint anger emanating from the silent Lewontin in the transport box outside the venue.

97. Major Tournament Part.1

In a private room of an inconspicuous restaurant on a street led by the Grand Knight, Seria with dyed black hair sat opposite the radiant knight who was admired by Casimir.She had already packed her bags and looked ready to leave at any time.

Seria glanced at Margaret and Shining and Nightingale who were following her, and said hello to these two old colleagues who had worked together in the medical department for a long time.Shining, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, nodded in response to her greeting.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Margaret. Your skills have improved a lot compared to when we first met in Rhode Island. It's really impressive to see you after three days apart." Seria smiled and took it out of her arms. He obtained a standard communication terminal from the Star of Life and gave it to Margaret.

Margaret took the terminal calmly and did not open it immediately. "Director Sai, the same goes for you."

"It's ridiculous, it's just fake."

"Ms. Alpha's power is amazing every time I see it, but good equipment requires excellent users to bring out its performance." Margaret smiled, "Looking at you, you have Things are about to leave the Grand Knights’ Territory.”

"As requested by my old friend, I need to go back to Colombia and spend some time." Ceria nodded, "This is some intelligence information we have investigated, as well as the communication channel with the Rainbow Team. They will continue to provide The infected provide assistance. One more thing..."

"please say."

"Alfa sometimes makes some prophecies based on her vision and abilities that transcend this world. The prophecy on this terminal is what she asked me to give to you before she leaves."

Margaret nodded. Although her understanding of Alpha was not in-depth, she had worked with Seria for a long time. She knew that Seria's ability and personality could make Seria believe so much. In addition, With the extraordinary abilities shown by Alpha itself, Margaret believed that this was definitely a serious matter. "I understand."

"Margaret, you have returned to Casimir and faced this degenerated country of knights. I believe that you have shown sufficient and necessary courage and made up your mind to face all difficulties. For Casimir, I am an outsider, But I sincerely wish you all the best.”

"Thank you for your blessing and wish you a safe journey."

"Alfa has authorized the Life Star to provide you with various supports. The Life Star can bypass some of the restrictions imposed on Rhode Island. As for whether you plan to use it and how to use it, it is up to you to judge. Goodbye, everyone. "

Ceria stood up and shook hands with Margaret. Even through the armored gloves, she could feel Margaret's sincere strength.Then she shook hands with Shining and placed a small bag on Nightingale's lap, "Ifrit asked me to hand over a small gift, several of her folded paper works, Miss Nightingale."

"Thank you..." Nightingale thought of the noisy child. During her recovery from surgery, she had helped to relieve her pain. She did not expect that the child would still remember her.

"Wish you guys good luck."

Ceria left, leaving the three of them with a chic back. At this time, there was still half an hour before Maria was involved in the critical game.

After bidding farewell to Seria, Margaret picked up the terminal. When her fingers touched the screen, the machine automatically unlocked the screen and started playing the pre-made demonstration animation.

Margaret was surprised to find that the startup screen of this terminal was different from all the models on the market. It was an animation composed of rigorous war game deductions and combat recording videos, and the content of the screen was officially Mary All competitions that Ya has participated in.

The animation is only 5 minutes long, but it analyzes every battle in detail, and even annotates off-field factors. At the end of the video, in a game that has not been seen in public battle reports, two people Sarkaz, who was filled with ominous aura, beheaded Maria.
