"I see. Thank you for your guidance. So you came here today just out of curiosity, so you came to take a look, chat with me, and give me some guidance?"

"Of course there are more than that. There are two things. In fact, I haven't even completed the goal of guidance."

"Please speak."

Jiang Ming was really curious. He had already said so many things but hadn't gotten to the point yet. What did Nico want to guide him on?

"You know the 'Sinking Prophecy' and the 'Destruction Prophecy', right?"

"Know a thing or two."

The former refers to Fontaine being flooded, and the latter... may be related to the sentence "The world will not burn again" written in the traveler's story in the game.

In short, it is a prophecy about the destruction of the world, which is also mentioned in the "Book of Secret Sea Revealed" that appeared before he traveled through time.

"So, whatever your plan is, just do it."

Chapter 166: The Country Girl

"Why? Is it important?"

"At least from what we have seen, your possibility seems to be better."

Is that so?

It seems that this big guy came all the way here just to urge someone?

"I see. In fact, I would have done it even without your urging. So what's the other thing?"

"You know Mona, right?"

"Of course, the apprentice of the B-witch Barbiros, Astrologis Mona Megistus?"

"Huh? You can actually remember her full name?"

Nico's tone was filled with surprise.

"I have a deep impression of this name. It's no surprise that I remember it after it's been mentioned so many times."

God knows how many jokes Mihoyo has played with Mona's name. He has brainwashed her repeatedly.

"That's easy. Mona is already on the Death Star and will be here soon."

"Ah? Why did you let her come here?"

"Come and see it for yourself, and exchange and learn from it."

"…We are not dealing with astrology or anything like that for now."

"Don't be so narrow-minded. A true genius is often an all-rounder. At least, to learn astrology well, you need to be able to model, and the math requirements are very high."

How can you say that astrology is like a model in a computer that predicts something?

and many more!

Jiang Ming suddenly recalled the novels he had read before.

There really is such a setting. Divination is to build models and predict the future, just like predicting the weather.

Isn't it the same with astrology?

Probably, no...

Jiang was obviously a little hesitant.

"Anyway, I'll leave Mona in your care for the time being. I believe she will be able to help you."

Huh?

Is this what this person saw?

Jiang Ming hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

Anyway, Mona is already on board, so she must have Beidou’s support.

By then, even if Beidou came forward, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

"Okay, that's all right. Then, the pleasant afternoon tea time is over."

The exquisite teacup on the conference table disappeared in an instant.

Jiang Ming called out a few times in his mind, but received no response.

It seems that he has indeed left.

What is this?

We talked about a lot of useful and useless things, but the two important matters were only mentioned in a few words and were not discussed for long at all.

"How was it? Did Ms. Nico mention anything?"

Xinhai and Wulang also noticed the disappearance of the teacup, and also noticed that Jiang Ming gradually came back to his senses.

Now it's finally their turn to speak.

"Yes, we have guests."

Jiang Ming scratched his hair, feeling a little troubled by Mona's arrangement.

Give her a lab? Or something like that?

"guest?"

"Yes, it's on the Beidou ship. It should arrive tomorrow."

"Is she a good friend of this Ms. Nico?"

"A disciple of a good friend, but he's also a genius. I wonder what else he'd be interested in besides astrology."

"Is that so... Then we should follow his wishes and receive him normally."

Xinhai came up with a standard solution.

"I think it's okay, but in line with the principle of maximizing the use of talents, we have to think about what we can let this person do for us."

Now that Kaigi Island has grown in scale, it is in great need of people, especially in Inazuma, where there is a shortage of talented people.

"I think we should wait until the time comes to ask the person's wishes."

"Seconded."

Xinhai and Wulang both agreed to talk about it later.

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's discuss the issue of resources first. The large amount of minerals brought by Beidou's fleet this time can alleviate our urgent needs."

Their industrial production capacity has not been improved for a long time due to the shortage of raw materials.

A while ago, a war broke out on Bayun Island, and a large amount of resources were invested in military production. The amount of guns, artillery and ammunition consumed every day was an astronomical figure.

In particular, they need to use heavy artillery in large quantities to destroy the opponent's barrier.

When the cannon goes off, it's no joke that a fortune of gold will be yours.

Although it is always much better for them to consume cannons and shells than for the other side to consume people.

In addition to the use of guns and ammunition, they now also use a large number of robot troops, and these robots are made of metal all over.

In addition, they are also developing tanks, which are huge armored vehicles weighing dozens of tons, and they are also building ships in the dock.

Given their poor mineral resources and the reduced capacity of transportation channels due to the war, their resources are somewhat stretched.

At this moment, the minerals brought by Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet became the source of clear water to solve the urgent problem.

Several people discussed the issue of resource allocation for several hours before finally deciding on the quota.

As for what Nico and Jiang Ming talked about, Xinhai didn't ask much.

This mysterious senior deliberately chose a "private call", so it would be impolite to pry further into the matter.

----

The next morning, Beidou's fleet arrived at the port on time.

"Eh?"

Mona looked at the scene in front of her and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Getting excited?

I set out from Fontaine to Liyue, took a boat through a thunderstorm to Inazuma, but ended up taking a nap and returning to Fontaine?

No, Fontaine would not use expensive and delicate human-shaped clockwork mechanisms to transport these goods.

Although she had heard on the way here that clockwork mechanisms and the like were widely used, she never expected that they would be so widely used here.

She thought it would be similar to Fontaine, with a few security robots.

but now……

Robots can be seen everywhere moving goods.

The humans interspersed among them are also equipped with mechanical equipment.

"It's incredible..."

Fontaine's plan to use robots has sparked a nationwide strike before they were even put into use. Can they be used so widely here?

Aren't people worried at all?

How do they deal with it?

the most important is……

Mona summoned the water divination plate.

“I can’t see the scenery here at all…”

She had divined several times before coming here, and this place shouldn't be like this.

"Good morning. There are a lot fewer robots here."

While Mona was still observing the water divination, Beidou walked straight past her, got off the boat and greeted Jiang Ming and the others.

Beidou's words dealt Mona another critical blow.

Huh? Is there a lot missing?

That's a lot, isn't it?!

What was it like before?

At this moment, Mona, who claimed to be knowledgeable, felt like a country girl facing this scene.

What scene haven’t I seen?

I have never seen this scene before.

"We can't help it. The situation on the front line is a bit tense, so we tried to mobilize some people over here, and the robots went to the front line to fill in the gaps."

"So, the ship was not completed on time because of the lack of robots?"

Beidou pointed to the ship in the distance whose progress had not changed.

"This is secondary. The main reason is that our resources are tight and the limited steel needs to be supplied to the front line."

Chapter 167 It’s getting spicy again!

"Do you need help? Southern Cross is an armed fleet and also undertakes security operations."

However, given the current situation on the front line of Bayun Island, except for Beidou himself, everyone else is likely to be a sent-down servant.

With the help of the doctor, the opponent's equipment can be upgraded and iterated at a very fast speed.

For example, the elemental cannon has been iterated once in a short period of time. Although the power of the new generation of elemental cannon has not changed much, gunpowder has been integrated into the propellant, which has a longer range, faster speed and lower consumption.

——I don’t know if this can be considered a special version of a low-profile electric thermal cannon. In addition to the original thunder element, the newly added gunpowder will also produce an overload reaction with the thunder element’s emission energy. The elemental reaction is precisely controlled within a reasonable range, maximizing its power without directly destroying the elemental cannon itself.

Another example is the latest generation of defensive barriers.

In comparison, Jiang Ming's side seemed to be far behind. Apart from adding a larger caliber cannon and upgrading the robot's intelligent program, they had not come up with any new tricks.

Their control over the power of elements is also very limited. They are better at using elemental power for precision processing and control, and then mass production.
