Chapter 344: Strange
When talking about the robbers, Jiang Zhuncheng sighed faintly and said, "This matter started more than a month ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoActually, Wei Luo and I don't know much about the whole process, but we just hear about it. β
"How can you be? You are the chief and deputy director of the shipyard!" Zhan Chenqi said.
"Well, the looting happened at night that day, and the two of us happened to be not at the shipyard. The reason is that we completed the key to the launch of the Heavenly Boat that day, and everyone was very happy at that time, so Wei Luo invited me to have a drink to celebrate. So at that time, we entrusted all the affairs of the entire shipyard to the overseer, that is, Xu Xiao, whom you just metβ"
"Wait, what's the key to the start of this Heavenly Divine Boat? Zhan Chen asked casually.
"The key to this Tongtian Shenzhou is actually the rudder in the Shenzhou operation room, don't look at it as just a rudder, but at the junction of it and the control system in the wheelhouse of the ship, it contains an extremely exquisite design, just like a key, without this rudder, the entire Tongtian Shenzhou can not be started, it took me and Weiluo more than a year to build. β
"So, where is such an important thing now? I really want to see it. Zhan Chen couldn't help but say.
"Bang!" At this moment, a sound came from a nearby distance, attracting everyone's attention. Zhan Chen looked at the sound, and it turned out that Xu Xiao had accidentally dropped a part to the ground and made a sound.
"Xu Xiao, what are you doing! You are all old men in the shipyard, why are you still frizzy when doing things!" Wei Luo immediately scolded.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally got rid of it. Xu Li said hurriedly.
"Be careful next time!"
"Okay. β
Zhan Chen didn't speak, looking at Xu Xiao, his eyes narrowed slightly, because he clearly saw that Xu Xiao had a panicked look when he talked about the rudder, there must be something strange in it!
However, he smiled quietly and said, "I don't think it's anything? After a pause, he feigned curiosity and said, "Now I just want to see what that legendary rudder looks like." β
Jiang Zhuncheng smiled: "Hehe, this is not easy to do? Wei Luo, take the chief manager over to take a look." β
"Haha, okay!" Wei Luo readily agreed, and then led the two of them out of Tongtian Shenzhou and into a heavily guarded secret room, there were four guards at the door of the small secret room, and a special token was needed to open the door, and this kind of token was only equipped with Jiang Zhunsheng, Wei Luo and Xu Xiao.
When the door of the secret room opened, Zhan Chen saw a rudder with a transparent body and as bright as ivory lying quietly on the high platform in the center of the secret room, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, thinking: "Could it be that I am too careful?"
However, he still didn't give up, and said to Jiang Zhunsheng and Wei Luo beside him, "Can I take a closer look at it?"
Wei Luo smiled and said, "Of course, you are the biggest of us here!"
Jiang Zhun-rope couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
So, Zhan Chen stepped forward, picked up the rudder and inspected it carefully, sure enough, it was finely workmanlike and ingenious, and at the end of the strut behind the rudder, there were many gear-like designs, which were indeed like a key to open the door.
After looking at it for a while, Zhan Chen didn't see why, so he had to put the rudder back, retreat and say, "Well, this rudder is really exquisite, which makes Zai Xia breathtaking." Jiang Lao, Wei Lao, the skills of the two of you are really exquisite. β
"Haha, the manager praises falsely, it really torments the two of us who are old. Jiang Zhunsheng and Wei Luo said in unison.
After exiting the secret room, the guards immediately closed the door, and Zhan Chen asked Jiang Zhunxian again: "I don't know something, why do you have to guard this rudder so tightly?"
Jiang Zhuncheng said solemnly: "Because this key is extraordinary, it takes a year to make, and it is the key to starting the Heavenly Divine Boat, and it is almost impossible to copy, so it must be properly preserved and strictly guarded." In about a month, the Tongtian Shenzhou will be fully completed, we will hold the maiden voyage ceremony, and when the time comes, we will test this key, and if it is successful, we can deliver it to Master Ning for acceptance. In this way, we can be considered completely liberated. β
Zhan Chen nodded and said, "I see, then we have to stand well in the last month's post, and don't make any more moths." β
"Oh, isn't it? Last month there was a lot of death. Afterwards, Master Ning was furious and personally punished the party, but the poor former manager was still my friend - just because of a moment of negligence, he caused trouble, and eventually led to a different head, which is really not worth it!" Speaking of this, Jiang Zhun Cheng burst into tears, obviously having a deep friendship with the original manager.
Zhan Chen was stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought: "It seems that I have to be careful, last month, what happened in this dockyard is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, if something goes wrong again, I will probably follow in the footsteps of the former manager!"
Thinking of this, Xu Xiao's frightened expression seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, and he thought: "There must be something wrong with this Xu Xiao!
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen said, "Elder Jiang, Elder Wei, I'm really tired of you accompanying me for so long. β
"Wherever and wherever we are, it is our blessing to be able to serve the Commander, and the two of us will have to rely on the Commander of War in the future. Both replied.
"You two go get busy, I'll walk around this shipyard again and find out what's going on. β
Jiang Zhunsheng and Wei Luo glanced at each other and said, "Then we will retire first." β
As the shipyard's chief and deputy supervisors, they do have a big basket of things to deal with.
After separating from the two, Zhan Chen went straight to the Tongtian Shenzhou again, and saw that Xu Xiao was still directing the workers to be busy, so he walked towards him.
Xu Xiao saw Zhan Chen turn back again, his expression changed, but he immediately returned to normal, squeezed out a smile, greeted him, and asked, "Manager Zhan, what do you command?"
Zhan Chen looked around with interest, and then said: "Supervisor Xu, I don't have much to do, but I'm just very curious about this Heavenly Divine Boat, so I want to come and see more." β
Xu Xiao smiled: "It's okay, I still have to go to work." β
"Wait, can you introduce me to the structure of this Shenzhou? I'm interested in everything. β
"Haha, Lord Steward, if you didn't say it earlier, no problem, I know every detail of this ship. β
"Hehe, that's great!"
So, Xu Xiao led Zhan Chen to go inside and outside of Shenzhou, explaining while walking, and through his mouth, Zhan Chen learned a lot of information about Shenzhou.
Originally, Tongtian Shenzhou adopted three sets of power system joint drive, the ship's mast was erected with sails, so that Shenzhou could rely on the power of natural wind; and the propeller at the stern of the ship could make Shenzhou get a huge boost in a short period of time, this system relied on the power furnace set in the hull, and the start of this power furnace relied on a huge spiritual array embedded on the surface, which needed to burn a large number of yuan stones; in addition, the operation of such a large Shenzhou of course also relied on manpower, and the rows of holes on the hull were used to facilitate the use of long pulpγ
With these three things, the Heavenly Divine Boat can gallop in the turbulent waves, swim on the surging river, and ride the wind and waves in the cross-current of monsters and beasts to reach the center of the Yuan River.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen was also eye-opening and full of praise, of course, he didn't forget his purpose. While Xu Xiao was talking, he suddenly asked: "Supervisor Xu, I heard that our shipyard was robbed last month, and you were in charge of this shipyard at that time, but is there such a thing?"
When Xu Xiao heard Zhan Chen's question, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he dealt with it carefully: "Chief Hui Zhan, there is indeed such a thing." β
"Hehe, can you tell me about the situation? I just came here and don't understand anything. In order to dispel his doubts, Zhan Chen tried his best to pretend to be casual, as if he had inadvertently asked about it.
Xu Xiao looked at his words, and saw that Zhan Chen didn't seem to suspect himself, so he felt a little calmer, and said, "Manager Zhan Chen, it's no wonder that you care about this matter." At this time, it's a long story, since our Ning family set up a dock on the bank of this Yuan River, the reckless bandits around us are afraid of the strength of our Ning family, and they don't dare to come easily. β
"Over time, the people here have developed the idea of sitting back and relaxing, and they are naturally negligent in their defenses, and the garrison force in the dock has plummeted from the original two hundred guards to one hundred, and at that time, in the entire dock, there were only ten strong people of the Martial Emperor Great Perfection, including the chief manager. β
"I expected that something would go wrong sooner or later, and sure enough, in the middle of the night on the third of last month, a gang of 100 robbers crept into our dockyard. At that time, Director Jiang and Deputy Director Wei went out for a drink. I was the only one left in charge of the whole dockyard, and I was so engrossed in my work that I didn't bother to pay attention to what was going on outside. β
"Until the gang broke in, they were killing people everywhere, looting everywhere, and robbing many of our unfinished parts. Eventually, they set fire to the entire shipyard. I led people to fight to the death, and it was only then that I repelled the gang of bandits, so that the losses did not further expand. β
Zhan Chen praised: "Speaking of Brother Xu, you are still a person who has made great contributions." β
Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly: "Meritorious people don't dare to take it, I'm just doing my duty." β
"So, has there been any loss in the shipyard, and has something important ever been destroyed or lost?"
"No, fortunately, the Tongtian Shenzhou was basically completed at that time, and the unfinished ones were all small parts, and our losses were not big. Xu Xiao paused, and then complimented Zhan Chen and said: "Manager Zhan, you will come here, we have taken a reassuring pill, I heard that your martial arts are very good, and you are also a top existence among the many Martial Emperor Great Perfection powerhouses." With you, I believe that the thieves will not dare to commit it. β
"Hahaha, Brother Xu, this is just a rumor, and I am only at the upper middle level, if you want to keep the dock foolproof, you still need your help. β
It was expected that it would be difficult to get any useful information from his mouth, so Zhan Chen had to choose to accept it when he saw it, and said to him: "Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to disturb Brother Xu for so long, so I'll leave first!"
"Tell me to walk slowly. β
So, Zhan Chen got off the Heavenly Divine Boat and walked towards the outside of the shipyard, thinking as he walked: "How true and how false is this Xu Xiao's words, I am also a black one now, but judging from what he said and looked at just now, it is obvious that he is hiding something, no, I still have to collect more facts and evidence to reveal the truth behind this whole thing!"
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen couldn't help but speed up his pace. At this moment, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, as if something else was going to happen.
