Steel steam and flame

Defoni walked a few steps forward and patted Maskell's shoulder with his generous palm. "The chief mechanic of Kinetic Steel Manufacturing is absolutely reliable. I always believe so. Thank you."

"If you want to thank me, just don't let big news spread in the Far Sea Common Country." Maskell responded with a hearty smile, "You said you wanted to leave me a mechanical dragon as a personal belonging, you and I said it verbally The agreement, if you are gone, others will not recognize it. You know, I will never take away the items produced in my factory. "

"I will work hard to achieve it." Defoni replied with confidence, but then changed the topic, "The five airships brought a large number of drawings, as well as a new solid red mercury furnace, which was designed by the Avalon Agency. You will definitely like the product very much. In addition, there is also a batch of ultimate alloys. The finished products after smelting are used to make the most critical mechanical dragon skeleton. The parts related to the biological structure will be shipped soon. Busy It’s coming soon, and you have to be prepared.”

"I am an operator in the middle of the fourth stage after all. It is difficult to recover from fatigue." Maskell smiled, "What about the kinetic armor? Is it still needed? When Factory Zero was first established, until it was shut down due to the Machinery Dragon, the main The products are all kinetic energy armor. Knowing that you are under a lot of pressure, I should be able to help you share some of the pressure. It won't be a very large quantity, but dozens of units a month. If you are busier, you can still deliver on time."

"You are the director here at Factory Zero. You can do whatever you want without asking me for my opinion. Of course, even if you and I are old, surprises are still very attractive. .”

After finishing speaking, Defoni went to the edge of the broad platform and looked at the underground steel city that was gradually waking up in front of him. A look of memories crept onto his face, "Maskel, my students all say that I am a kind and good teacher. I should be a good director here among you."

"Well... those students said you were kind, probably because you are in old age. I remember you were very strict and ambitious when you were young. In short, you are definitely not very good."

",,," Defoni was speechless, "That's a problem of age, not mine."

",,,"

"I'll go around by myself, so I won't disturb you anymore. It will be three hours after the airship unloads its cargo, and I will leave with it. You don't need to see me off, just leave quietly. The factory is always full of noise, I don't want to add any more noise to it." Defoni said, turning around, waving his hands, and saying, "You are the director, so you should taste the pressure of being the director."

Three and a half hours later, a monotonous whistle sounded, the giant protective door opened, the buzzer of the lift device sounded, and Defoni was already sitting on the fixed steel chair in the rest room. There was a feeling of rising air under his feet, and he suddenly got up and went to the round window as if remembering it, and looked outside——

Maskell did not listen to what he said not long ago, and was now standing in the stands of the airport in the distance, waving to this side.

"I am no longer the director, and all my words have no effect." Defoni sighed, but there was a smile on his face. He waved and nodded at Maskell, and responded verbally, "I am your customer, and I must deliver the goods on time, dear director."

"Definitely." Maskell nodded, and did not turn around until the five airships left the landing pad and disappeared under the night sky. "Oh, being the director is not comfortable. There was pressure from the beginning."

Cassia was lying on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking up at the stars, enjoying a rare pause under the heavy rain for more than ten days. The night sky was not beautiful. The dark blue had long since disappeared, replaced by a layer of black and red, and the stars on it were also plated with red light, twinkling with strange colors.

Beside, Li Suman was sitting on the raised steps, with a little light on the tip of her index finger. It was the accumulated bioelectric induction field, and the terrifying temperature and power were restrained. While she was drawing meaningless patterns on the rooftop floor with her index finger, she was receiving communications from the empire, and responded to the words on the other side with a perfunctory tone.

Cassia could hear the voice in the communication, coming from Macquarie. He also knew what he wanted to say in this communication, because this time he and Li Suman formed a team to act, and there were other teams cooperating everywhere, doing what was explained in the communication.

"The third early warning came from the Far Sea Commonwealth. Mr. Defoni, the King of Steel, is already making an evacuation plan. He found many reasons to let his students leave one by one, going to a safe place where they can evacuate at any time. Territory. This is a good method, but the disadvantage is that it once again weakens the power around him." McGregor spoke of the specific situation with a slightly depressing tone.

"The King of Steel, Mr. Defoni, has become a bright anchor, rooted in that area. Once his actions and trajectory exceed the range, I am afraid that the enemy will take action immediately. The enemy has arranged surveillance members around it, and we have already Some of the secrets have been eliminated. But the problem cannot be solved in the end. At the same time, the escape of the mechanical dragon is only partially completed, and there are still a lot of them lying in the warehouse, losing the perfect opportunity to go to the sky."

"The surveillance and restrictions on the sky have become more and more strict. While the Ultimate Dragon is still there, Mr. Defoni, the King of Steel, is not willing to take risks. He values ​​those things very much, above his own life. .”

Lisuman listened expressionlessly, with Defoni's old man's face in her mind, "Can you predict how much time is left? Mr. Grote, the first generation knight king, must be there too, listen to Pekin I would like to say that his familiarity with the body is almost complete. His deterrence still remains in the minds of the enemy."

After being silent for a while, Macquarie seemed to be looking through the corresponding information, "A month and a half ago, the current Pope Novizas of the Theocracy resigned and was succeeded by Stant. After that, there were several pieces of information about his traces. As it turned out, Nowisas was probably sitting on a chair in a building in the Far Sea Commonwealth and rested for a long time."

"According to the current investigation report on the situation in the Far Sea Common Country, the most likely time we predict will be one and a half months later. At that time, in the pollution nodes in the Far Sea Common Country, except for dragons hatched from dragon eggs, all dragons will Approaching the adult body, with the help of the pollution in the node center, the resurrected popes will also have a further state."

"Furthermore, the one and a half month period we predicted is actually the result of Mr. Grote's intimidation."

"Well, let me think about it." Li Suman didn't look like she was thinking at all, and she didn't have time to think. She blurted out immediately, "Where is your group leader? If she starts to act, many problems will become very easy."
