Chapter 111 Drive (I)
The airship was violently rocking from side to side in the center of the main body of the black dust storm. The lifting device under the hull of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info is emitting the power to stop 100,000 tons of steel in the air and accelerate its flight.
In the control room on the top floor, the middle-aged captain had just issued a final notice to the passengers on the merchant ship, telling them to stay in their rooms honestly no matter what happened, and not to come out to make a fuss. The airship is now in a critical position, and in less than a minute, the core of the steam furnace in full operation will be able to store the necessary energy and then supply the lift device for a short period of overload.
Although this will definitely reduce the service life of the lifting device, who cares? The Imperial Steam Factory does not lack the accessories of these lifting devices, as long as the amount of money is in place, even if it is replaced by a merchant ship of the same standard, it will not take much time. The major manufacturing industries and companies, as well as the reserves of industrial production within the empire, were astronomical amounts they could not have imagined.
"Captain, the temperature has risen to the red line standard, do you want to turn on the cooling system?" There was a shrill beep next to him, the indicator light was manually turned off, and a rather young control team member was asking the middle-aged captain for the next instructions.
"Of course not, just let it overheat, it's such a big thing, it's okay to overheat for a few hours. And then we need the effect of overheating the furnace core, which gives us steam power more quickly and efficiently. After all, this cruiser-class merchant ship has such a big chunk. If the merchant ship falls back into the black dust storm due to lack of power after breaking through the black dust storm for a while, then my identity as a captain will have to be laughed at by my peers for a lifetime. The middle-aged old captain said with a smile, and the predicament in front of him didn't seem to affect his cheerful mood in the slightest.
Then he cleared his throat, then picked up the megaphone beside him and began to give the current instructions one after another, the voice was rough and powerful, and there was a different kind of reassuring power in it, which was another reason why he was qualified to be the captain of the ship. As the top commander of a merchant ship, experience and the temperament and ability to reassure people before an emergency are two equally important must-haves.
Outside the glass window in front of him, the pitch-black clouds that formed the black dust storm had turned white-gray at the moment. The clouds that pressed against the merchant ship had begun to thin, and the blazing light had penetrated the clouds to make its way here. In a few tens of seconds, the merchant ship will break through all the black dust storm clouds, and then the power will be at full speed, quickly escaping the area above the black dust storm with turbulent airflow. The invisible is often the most troublesome and deadly, just like those seemingly peaceful skies in the sky, maybe only the devil in hell knows what is hidden inside.
"The countdown begins, thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight、、、"
There was only this crisp electronic sound echoing in the control room, all the alarms were forcibly turned off, and only the chaotic lights flickered in the control room. The controller places his finger on the button that needs to be pressed or the lever that needs to be pulled down when the countdown is complete, and as long as he waits for the captain's voice to give an order, he can execute each command without hesitation.
The hull of the ship shook more and more violently, the clouds outside the glass window became whiter and whiter, the light began to fill and become brighter and brighter, the field of vision expanded, and the critical line of breakthrough was not far in front of all of them.

Kasia walked to the metal door and took out the sharp knife at her waist, the shiny blade of which just acted as a mirror. It was obtained from the head of the gang that approached David, the man who used the knife as an ornament. Looking through the six fist-sized bullet holes of the six platinum bullets, the blade of the knife appeared in the range of the bullet holes, and a swarthy muzzle was reflected on it, and then a tiny tongue of fire and a bullet with a diameter of more than ten millimeters burst out of the bullet hole.
It's terrible. Kasia cursed, and at the same time, a huge force came from the sharp knife in his hand, and the bullet hit it suddenly changed its trajectory and shot diagonally forward. At the same time, Kasia's body also took a step back, and there was a vertical row of bullet holes on the metal door in an instant, and the ballistic line just passed through the position where Kasia was standing just now.
"Number of bullets, eight. Kasia exhaled, noted down the number of bullets fired from the room, and then deflected his wrist at an angle, through the metal door, to find a position that was most likely to hit the target and fired, it was just a false shot, Kasia did not expect any of the bullets to hit the target, as long as the person behind the metal door could dodge for a while, and it was enough to not pay attention to the movement outside the door for the time being. The bullet blew several holes in the metal door with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and a complete metal door had become fragmented.
Then, Kasia's steady-standing body kicked the door from the side, and a muffled sound was heard, and the metal door slammed into the person hiding behind it. The power that Kasia had suppressed finally burst out at this moment, and his feet kicked back violently, and his body turned into a shadow and rushed to the door, slamming into the metal door again with a huge amount of kinetic energy.
Behind the metal door was a man with a shield in one hand and a pistol in the other, and the light in the hallway poured in synchronously as the metal door was fully opened. The person in front of Kasia, who was hit by the metal door and took a few steps back, was none other than Nolida with a bare head. His footsteps stepped back a few times in succession, and only then did he unload all the strength on his body. At this moment, the metal door in front of him has been completely opened, and a figure is standing in the center of the door with his back to the light, and the huge bullet hole in the metal door is also reflected in the corner of his eye, and then the sound of "pop" is heard, and the lights in the room are turned on.
Synchronized with the sound of the lights on, Noreida's body moved more than a meter to the side, and the composite shield was thrown in place by him. The six bullets then concentrated on the shield, and as they pierced the shield, they moved backwards and hit the log table, and the things placed on it fell, which were two silver-white tin boxes. Under the light, there was also a black leather box on the table, and the mass-produced goods in the factory, which looked very heavy, pressed hard against the table, even if the hull of the ship was shaking violently, it did not move at all.
"Looks like you recognize these things. Kasia said meaningfully, and as he walked into the room, standing across from Norida, the sound of six searing shells hitting the ground was in sync with the sound of Kasia plucking back the drum. He looked at the muzzle of the pistol that Nolita pointed at, and Nolida also looked at the shaft of the revolver he was holding, not firing on either side, as if savoring the shaking sensation of the hull. At this time, there was also a special sound of sniper rifle bullets tearing through the air, as well as a metal-like collision sound. Leigh and Floss also confronted each other.
"Did I win the lottery? Your identity seems to be more special than the two people left outside. ”
The smell in the air suddenly eased, and there was a strange feeling. Two pairs of crossed pupils stared at each other through the two guns, and the two fingers each half-pressed the trigger, but both stopped firmly in front of the critical point.
"Only in the field of firearms and ammunition, platinum bullets can be said to be the main high-end goods of arms smuggling. Norida looked at Kasia and said, "Except for some special purpose bullets, or some bullets that have been modified by mechanics, the blue silver bullet is the pinnacle of this field." If you want to trade other types of bullets, you can only order them. Although the subscription fee is not too expensive, the way to get them is expensive, and the people who handle these paths will not easily let others join in and compete for benefits. ”
Nolida smiled, "I have been a smuggler for so many years, and I know some things, maybe a little more than you, of course, in the area of firearms and ammunition." Although the blue silver bullet is the top ammunition on the surface, I still know it. ”
"No one has too much knowledge, and money is the same. ”
"Of course, many things can't be accomplished with just one force, and the knowledge in your head can often kill you, just like when I let go of the composite shield that can withstand the platinum bullet. And being able to be targeted by the military school and listed as one of the practical course tasks, so I am also one of the good arms smugglers. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. "Then can you tell me what your mission level is while we can still stand and talk?" and I would like to know how valuable I am to be judged by others. ”
"Second class. Kasia replied.
"Thanks, it seems that I still have some value, at least not the level of those tasks that are not in the stream. Nolida replied politely, "Then, please die!"
