Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Xiao Mo quickly tried to smooth things over: "I didn't know what my old friend was doing at the time, so I followed him. I didn't believe he would cause any trouble, but it was impolite, so I wanted to remind him."

Morales did not lie, and with him smoothing things over, the fact that Leon had secretly sneaked into someone else's camp was largely alleviated.

Locke fell into silence for a while, as he was annoyed that the goal he had been pursuing for many years was easily accomplished by the unexpected traveler. Then he ordered a stronger engineer beside him to take people to check the door.

"Because of the empire's recent affairs, I haven't been researching the gate at the end."

Locke shook his head. "If you really did help open the door by chance, it would be a great benefit to us. I don't need to blame you for anything."

Seeing that Shadow Factory was easy to talk to, the plan could be discussed further.

"What I'm thinking of doing is using the power of my friend to secretly open the gates to those shipyards."

"I understand." Xiao Mo clapped his hands.

Li Ang wanted to use the Furnace of Creation to connect the various tunnels and sneak into Chencang directly to rescue the families and relatives of the shipyard workers.

"That's a good plan," Locke said, "provided the ancient ruins are accessible to people."

"Well..."

Li Ang shrugged: "That's why we need high-end combat power to help."

"Is there a secret Jedi realm inside?" asked Melegon.

"Not to that level, but the specifications are not low. It can even be said to be a relic core that is rarely seen in a peaceful place like the Floros sky."

Leon looked at Locke and said, "You will definitely be amazed by the structure inside."

Leon has also thought a lot about the issue of the Furnace of Creation.

His original idea was to wait until the matter was over, bring people back to conquer it, and take the real power into his possession.

This was, of course, the normal thinking of a normal Sky Knight, but the problem was that even a group of astronauts couldn't accomplish this alone. The conquered secret realms became new lands in the Demonic Disaster Realm, and this process always involved the participation of the guild.

If he wanted to develop the Furnace of Creation, relying on the power of the guild would be the simplest way. Otherwise, Leon would have to build up a huge force and relevant personnel to control it, which would mean he would be busy with this thing all his life.

As for the location of the Furnace of Creation, if anyone wants to bring people in again, they will inevitably have to bypass the tunnel controller of the Rudder City, so they will have to come to a showdown.

He also obtained the most precious laws and inheritance through the system, but there were only some blueprints indicating that the construction required the Furnace of Creation to operate.

So, it is better to gather everyone's strength to accomplish this.

Leon explained the metal giants he and Morales saw inside. There were so many of them that it was not known whether they would replenish themselves automatically.

The situation is urgent, and there is certainly no time to completely conquer this place. What he needs is to gather combat forces to clear out most of the metal giants and create a safe route so that the people in the shipyard can pass through the core and come to the outside world.

When the engineer who went to check the gate came back, the plan was agreed by everyone.

"I'll go gather some capable captains to help." Melgon returned to the ground first and summoned the knights of the Order Flower Sword Corps to come from a hidden place in the nearby airspace.

Locke called Li Ang and Xiao Mo into the studio.

"Young men, I entrust you to attack Kongyan before the plan is implemented. How confident are you?" Locke asked.

334. Extraordinary Times

"Attack Sky Flame... Do you have some side plans?"

"Now that things have come to this, some things can be said openly."

In front of Leon and Morales, Locke pulled out a scroll.

Looking closely, this is a structural cross-section of a ship. With the shipbuilding knowledge provided by the system, Leon identified it in a few seconds and connected it with the giant Island Builder ship that everyone was on.

"We've abandoned our lives on the surface and become known as the legendary Shadow Shipyard. We've put in so much hard work. If there's really no progress, not only would we be laughed at, but we ourselves wouldn't be able to accept it."

The old man lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke.

"In terms of combat, we workers are indeed inferior to you Sky Knights, so our operations mostly consist of lurking and working in secret. This is what we excel at."

Locke tapped the unfolded blueprint with his knuckles. While he was speaking, Leon had already read all the information written on it. This was a complete analytical diagram of the Island Forger giant ship.

The Shadow Factory's engineers have already analyzed everything from the hull structure, energy conduit sequence, weapon system, and various function calls.

This shows that Li Ang's previous belief that their progress in analyzing ancient ships was very shallow was a misunderstanding, and was also their self-protection in front of outsiders.

Judging from Xiao Mo's expression, Locke did not tell him the whole truth.

"We each have our own 'trade secrets', and now we can be honest with each other," said Locke.

"Can it be said that, except for the activation mechanism, you have completed the control of this ancient ship?" Li Ang asked.

“It’s not 100 percent, but that’s basically it.”

"You're really patient," Xiao Mo said with a smile, "It's such a big ship, don't you want to let it fly and see?"

Li Ang felt somewhat the same way.

For the Sky Knights, the largest passenger ship they had ever seen was smaller than this giant ship, and the various airships they often took, especially the combat types, were even smaller.

Therefore, many people have a sentiment for giant ships, but due to the limitations of technology and world rules, Leon can only choose a ship of 80 meters in length when building his own ship.

Locke took a puff of his cigarette and said, “Regardless of what other shipyards know about Kong Yan’s past, or what you asked me to say myself, the core of the breakup between Kong Yan and me was a conflict of ideas.

"The biggest part of these concepts is how to utilize this giant ship. As for the core tunnel and whether to integrate cities to establish a kingdom, they are secondary.

"Such a massive ancient relic is truly a miracle and a great undertaking. Even if we can finally control it, it won't be a task that can be accomplished by just me and Kalon. Many people are working on it.

"I hope it can benefit the hardworking and brave, rather than being used as a weapon by some. Over the years, as I've analyzed its functions, I've also been thinking about how it should affect people.

"Although the ancient survivors loved life and installed many features to facilitate daily life on this ship, it also had many weapons. They obviously considered that there might be some powerful enemies in this world.

"Now, we have encountered it. I think now is the time to put it to good use."

Li Ang and Xiao Mo nodded.

"So, you want us to snatch the activation mechanism that Kong Yan has?" Li Ang concluded.

"Yes."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Seeing you have been so patient over the years and not taking any drastic measures against Kong Yan, I didn't expect you to be so decisive now."

Locke shook his head: "Although Kongyan has gone astray over the years and has had problems with its business philosophy, it is generally considered a legal operation, and some minor disputes are not enough to cause the guild to conduct a thorough investigation or shut them down.

"Kalon's possession of the activation mechanism has always been legal. No matter how he obtained it, it would only put us in an unjust position."

On the island of Rudder City, the guild's influence is not that great. It can be said that some of Kong Yandong's little tricks basically come to nothing.

The only ones who really have a big impact here are the super lucky ones.

Leon sighed again, saying that if it were not for the guild's management, the closed environment of Newbis's sky island would probably be even more backward than the feudal era. Even now, the level of civilization in many places is similar to that of the tribal era.

Xiao Mo also mentioned that their leader's discovery of family notes on the research of the Island Forger civilization sparked his adventurous spirit and led him to take to the skies to become a Sky Knight. It's unknown which shipyard he came from.

The old man rummaged through a cabinet in the corner of the studio and took out something that looked like a crystal and handed it to the two of them to observe.

"This is?"

"This is the activation mechanism I imitated. Apparently, I failed."

Leon took the chip and saw the complex energy circuits inside it. This thing could already be considered a chip. Considering the Island Forger's complex enough mechanical furnace and the huge ship under them, it seemed reasonable for them to create such a thing.

Things like chips cannot be made without core technology.

The inheritance that Li Ang had received before was very complete, but it only lacked the construction of this giant ship, so the drawings and structure of this chip naturally did not exist in his mind.

But as he watched, it seemed to resonate with the knowledge in his mind...

"show me."

Xiao Mo snatched the chip and fiddled with it like a toy for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was doing. Then he gave it to Locke.

"This is a piece of junk. I broke up with Kalon before I could analyze it. I just made it based on my initial memory.

"Now, Kong Yan's cooperation with the Holy Sporil Empire has violated the law, and has also stood in opposition to the heavenly group that protects the Helm City. It also violates the city code agreed upon by the twelve shipyards.

"Although my commission does not currently comply with the laws of the guild, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

Loken was extremely decisive.

"If that 'Destruction Battleship' were to take off, it would cause massive damage to the Rudder City and even the entire sky."

According to Meimei and Meluna, the power of the Expanded Star Soul is naturally legendary, which is the same level as the Super Veil Beast, and is one of the strongest opponents of many celestial groups.

"As a resident of the Helm City and a leader of many workers, I have a responsibility to defend my homeland. I believe I must use this ancient ship to fight against it."

Locke was very decisive, which impressed Leon.

"Okay, I'll take it."

The commission proposed by Locke is a private commission in the circle of Sky Knights, that is, a commission that is not certified by the guild.

Before the establishment of guilds, and in places where their influence was not great, private commissions were prevalent, and even now many people will not refuse this form of commission as long as the remuneration is appropriate and payment can be guaranteed.

Leon also believed in Locke's credibility, and as a covenant between the two parties, he acted in this way with the purpose of repaying Leon's reward, which also showed his sincerity.

Leon will definitely complete this request regardless of the reward.

"The reward is a set of combat airship rams. Believe me, we at Shadow Factory are all shipbuilders after all. The results will definitely satisfy you and can be used in the Demonic Disaster Realm."

Before, Li Ang had just casually placed an order to ram his own ship, and this was a pleasant surprise.

After communicating the details of the operation with Locke, and obtaining a detailed internal map of the Kongyan Shipyard and possible target hiding places, Leon and Xiao Mo left Locke's studio.

Of course, without all this, as long as he caught the factory director Kalon, everything would be known.

Li Ang held Xiao Mo's shoulder and said, "I need your help with this."

"Of course!"

Xiao Mo was caught by the strange power of Leon's devil's hand and screamed.

He threw aside the Crimson Claw and jumped away: "Wow, is this really a curse? Not a benefit?"

"It's a curse."

Li Ang said that his mood has become increasingly unstable these days.

"Isn't this a good thing? Your problem before was that you were too emotionally stable. If you were more outgoing, there would definitely be a lot of girls in the group who would like you—"

"Go! Go! Go."

The action was scheduled to be carried out after the rescue. Li Ang was worried that snatching the startup chip in advance would alert the enemy, so he planned to complete the operation in one go after the rescue.

According to previous predictions and the intelligence he obtained from the members of the Soul Apex, the Empire's action would be at the climax of the Double Eagle Helm celebration, which was the moment when the airship race ended.

Until then, there is time to make use of.

After agreeing on a time, Li Ang said goodbye to Xiao Mo temporarily and came to his own ship.

On the slipway, Neil started working again after the meeting. When Andasu was away, the shipbuilding work was entirely done by this young man. Leon was thinking of giving him a gift later to express his appreciation.

Seeing Leon coming over, Neil immediately smiled and said, "Come, Captain, take a look at your future car."

"I saw it from a distance."

The depressed mood caused by the Empire and the Soul Peak suddenly improved a lot.

What you see before you is a scene full of vitality and lush greenery.

The planks of the hull are tightly spliced together, like a high wall extending towards the hollow dome of the underground cavity. There are no gaps between the planks, and the hull is completely integrated. Only in the overall perspective can you see the wood grain as if drawn along the direction of the wind.

These wood grains are full of mystery, and they faintly reveal the power of nature, showing the blessing bestowed on this ship.

At the edge of the top deck, the guardrails and various cable fixings are also completed. They grow thin branches and leaves like living trees, but this part no longer needs to be cut because they also emit natural power and are part of the entire ship.

The hull made of precious shipbuilding wood can itself be called a magic ship. The abundant natural magic power not only nourishes the passengers on it, but also resonates with Leon's staff.

He took off Ollihack and felt the synchronization of magic. The large ship in front of him seemed to have become an extension of his will. His magic could easily affect it and strengthen it.

He hadn't figured out exactly how to use this connection yet, but this felt like a first.

But this situation shows that this ship is closely related to him. It is his vehicle and the flagship of the Star Flower Brigade.

"I can't believe the progress is so fast." Li Ang sighed.

Neil laughed and said, "I wonder if there was a lot of wood like this in ancient times. The equipment we have on Passage 14 is already better than on the ground, and shipbuilding efficiency is much higher. But with the wood you brought, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

This is a wonderful world full of magic. When the mysterious power seems to be helping you, everything goes smoothly.

Perhaps Diana, the Star Soul of the Creation Tree, is really watching here and projecting her power over here.

Neil said: "Apart from the final details and some outfitting, everything else is done. Oh, the engine hasn't been installed yet, but I'm ready to go."

The young man pointed nearby and saw the heart of the demigod removed from the armor hanging in the air. The transmission device and external thrusters provided by the Shadow Shipyard were also ready next to it. Neil helped with this part, and Leon would settle the account with them later.

"I've also asked someone to watch over the store where you placed the order. The shipment will be picked up immediately. Once the hovercraft arrives, it will be ready to take off."
