Chapter 411: Lord Karman
Chapter 411: Lord Karman
‘What a misfit,’ Lei Luo thought to himself.
He then took the initiative to ask Ulysses, “Your Highness, may I know who the general behind him is? He looks extraordinary.”
“Oh, I was just about to introduce him to you.”
Ulysses smiled and pulled the man over.
“This is Lord Karman. He’s twenty-five years old this year. He was one of my father’s favorite generals. Later, I spent a lot of effort to get him from my father. Under my tutelage, other than my teacher, he can be said to be my number one valiant general. However, in order to support your career, from today onwards, I’ll let him follow you.”
What was going on with this Ulysses today?
Was his head broken or something?
Was he using him to spy on me? With Ulysses’ intelligence, he wouldn’t think that I would actually be watched to death, right?
Was he really giving this talent to me? Heavens, wasn’t this a little too generous?
Feeling a little confused, Lei Luo sneaked a glance at Ulysses.
“Karman reporting to Your Excellency.”
Karman gave a standard military salute to Lei Luo.
Before Lei Luo could regain his senses from having acquired Karman, Ulysses had already brought Allie and Karman to the lounge at the port. He led Lei Luo to Dock No. 1 at the port.
Before the lights were fully lit up, a pure black ship appeared in front of Lei Luo.
When he saw this ship, he was a little surprised because it did not seem to be a common imperial ship and he had never seen the likes of it in public before.
It seemed to be some kind of mysterious private ship.
“This ship is called the Dragon God Ship, and this is a new type of ship that my father’s research institute just developed last year. It’s almost at the level of an ocean-going ship, and its speed is very fast. Its dodging ability far surpasses all the current popular ship types, and its firepower system is also very good. In addition, it also has the biggest advantage, which is that it’s easy to operate. There are almost no requirements for the crew, so even if it’s a civilian, as long as they have been trained, they can operate it. However, the biggest weakness of this ship is that it’s not sturdy enough, and it has almost no defense. Therefore, it’s very easy to break through, and it’s not supposed to be the lone defense of a battleship army. However, if it works with other fleets, it will have a miraculous effect.”
After listening to this introduction, Lei Luo could not help but ask, “Your Highness, why did you suddenly bring me to see this ship?”
“Because this is the ship that I want to give you,” Ulysses replied.
“Your Highness, why did you give me a ship?” Lei Luo asked in confusion.
“No.” Ulysses shook his head, “Not one, but a hundred.”
The lights in the port lit up, and the other ninety-nine “Dragon God Ships” appeared in front of Lei Luo’s eyes.
“Your Highness, this...”
With Karman’s shock, Lei Luo should not have been shocked anymore. But when he saw the hundred Dragon God Ships in front of him, Lei Luo was shocked again.
Just from listening to Ulysses’ introduction, Lei Luo knew that it was impossible to develop such an original ship without an advanced shipyard with more than ten years of experience.
There were almost only twelve marquises who could have such a high-level dock.
This meant that although the Dragon God Ship was not very strong, it was a genuine ship of the marquise class.
Most importantly, for Lei Luo, who lacked regular officers, the Dragon God Ship was exactly what he wanted.
At this time, Ulysses continued, “The development process of the Dragon God warship is rather complicated. However, its components are actually not that complicated. It’s just a skeleton, a launcher for a magic cannonball, and eight magic crystal engines. Other than the magic cannonball launcher being a little troublesome, the other components are all very easy to build. The most troublesome thing is the assembly. There’s a lot of knowledge in it. However, the level of assembly required to create an original ship is completely different from that required to duplicate a ship.”
Lei Luo understood what Ulysses meant. He was hinting that the assembly proficiency required to duplicate this ship was not high.
Thus, Lei Luo immediately asked, “Your Highness, how many people do you need to assemble this ship?”
“Based on my personal experience, 120 or more is enough.”
“120 people?” Lei Luo nodded and began to calculate in his heart. Then, according to the usual situation, he calculated how much would be needed.
At this time, Ulysses took out another magic crystal.
“There are two messages in this magic crystal. One is the contact information of the fertility magister. They both have extremely high creativity and self-awareness. As for the second, it is all the assembly information of the Dragon God Ship.”
“Oh.”
Lei Luo calmly took the magic crystal in his hand.
Lei Luo, who was initially a little surprised, was not surprised at all at this moment.
Because what Ulysses had said and done had already proved that he had an extremely thorough understanding of his own strength in the Holy City of Beauty.
He knew that he lacked military officers, so he had specially provided Lei Luo this kind of ship to give him a headstart.
He knew that he needed to develop rapidly and explosively, and he had no time to slowly develop his technology.
So he directly handed over the research materials of this type of ship to him.
And in this world, there were many times where greed was hidden behind the generosity.
The more he gave, the more he naturally wanted.
Therefore, after placing the memory card in his hand and flipping it back and forth a few times, Lei Luo turned his face and looked at Ulysses.
“Your Highness, what do you want from us?”
Ulysses smiled and looked at Lei Luo for a while before saying, “I’m sincere.”
“Your Highness, don’t you think that these two words are too illusory?”
“Yes, it’s indeed illusory. However, the most valuable things in the world are often not real.”
As Ulysses said that, he smiled and put his hand on Lei Luo’s shoulder.
“All right, Lei Luo. You and I are both very clear about the situation in the Holy City of Beauty. “I know that you’ve always wanted to go back.”
“This is the first time you’ve talked to me. I know how much acting there is in your expression and your words.”
“I’ve also guessed a little about your ambition and your train of thought for development. Moreover, I also know that you know that I’ll know everything.”
Lei Luo’s originally tense expression suddenly broke into a smile at this moment.
“I came here this time to bet that His Highness is a person with absolute confidence. Now it seems that I have made the right bet.”
“I hope that His Highness will not take the many tests and performances from before to heart.”
“Judging is one thing, but the truth is another.”
“You did that because you were being cautious and wanted to protect yourself. There is nothing to blame.”
