Chapter 54 The new ship from the future
"Like a sea train, a ship powered by steam???"
"Better to be able to dive???"
"Convert the steam into energy that can burst in an instant, and then let the ship fly???"
"A propeller that can be freely stored on both sides of the hull??? So that it can be suspended for a period of time when flying???"
"If technology allows, the hidden propeller can be converted into an impeller that propels the boat at any time???"
"The size of the ship doesn't need to be too large, but it is best to have two small vehicles in the cabin, a small submarine, and a land vehicle???"
"???"
Edward was taken aback.
Customers spend a lot of money to keep improving.
He understands and understands this kind of truth.
But listening to Maud's more and more exaggerated demands, Edward, who was too old, was dumbfounded.
Maud looked at Edward, who was slightly dazed, and smiled with his fingers crossed: "Also, it's..."
"Pfft."
Edward fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, fainting.
"Grandpa Edward!"
Seeing this, Keynes was startled, rushed over a few steps, and crouched down to check Edward's situation.
Immediately, he took out a can of emergency medicine from Edward's messy clothes pocket, poured out a few and stuffed them into Edward's mouth.
After taking the medicine, Edward's condition stabilized.
Keynes breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Maud and Lafayette, and apologized:
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh. The old man is already old, and his body will inevitably have some old problems."
"Understandable."
Maud nodded calmly, only when Edward was ill, he went straight to the messy workbench,
Find the pen and paper from it.
"I still have about fifty requests and proposals. Otherwise, I will write them directly on the paper. When the old man wakes up, you will give it to him, Keynes."
"OK."
Keynes responded, but he didn't notice Edward's body shaking beside him.
Maud's writing speed is not ordinary fast.
After a while, he neatly wrote fifty requirements.
"I put the paper here."
Maud put down the paper, raised the pen in his hand towards Keynes, and immediately pressed the pen on the paper.
"OK."
Keynes moved Edward to the bed in the studio, then smiled apologetically at Maud and Lafayette again.
Maud didn't care, and led Lafayette out of the messy studio with a sour smell.
The two left the studio and walked side by side in the corridor.
"Maud, how did you come up with those requests...how did you come up with them?"
"It's not what I thought, but what I saw in the book."
"Books? Storybooks?"
"That's right..."
Maud chuckled, not wanting to explain further.
It can't be said to be a comic book called "ONE PIECE", right?
He would reveal the existence of the Hunter's Note to Lafayette, but he would never reveal the details of his identity as a traveler.
And most of the various requests he made to Edward came from the technology tree of this world.
Of course, he made so many demands all at once, and he didn't expect much from Edward.
As if by chance, he threw out all the possibilities, and then saw how many possibilities Edward could take the bait.
If you are lucky, you may get a new ship from the future.
Lafayette didn't know what Maud was thinking, so he could only mourn for the old man just now.
However, he is full of expectations for the ship that will cost 600 million in the future.
The two returned to the VIP room.
After Keynes returned, Maud and him finalized all the follow-up matters.
After that, it depends on how long it will take Thomas Shipyard to purchase the treasure tree Adam.
If all goes well, maybe in less than two months, they will be able to use the new boat.
If it doesn't go well...
Have to wait a long time.
That's not what Maud wants to see.
But even if he doesn't want to, there are some things that he can't change.
The only thing that can be done is to increase the price in exchange for time and efficiency.
After the new ship was settled, Maud and his party left Thomas Shipyard.
"The money for building the ship may not be enough, and then you have to add furniture and the like..."
Modeus pondered the question of money.
This is the first time he has been troubled by money since he looted a large sum of money from the dragon's territory.
However, this time kryptonite is necessary.
Because the new ship is not only their security at sea, but also their future home.
For this, no matter how much you spend, it's worth it.
"If you want to get money fast, that is... rob your peers' money."
"But this is not an impossible place. Even if there are many colleagues, it can't be too blatant."
Considering the fast way to get money, of course, it is to grab it directly.
And it is impossible for Maud to rob civilians for money. The first target that comes to mind is naturally other pirate groups.
This kind of black eating is also what he is most willing to do.
However, although there is no navy stationed in this place, there are a large number of Ahab soldiers, and there are several rules that cannot be violated in Dick City.
As a pirate, if he acts too arrogantly, he will inevitably be targeted by the soldiers of Ahab.
He is not afraid of being targeted, but he does not want to affect the manufacture of new ships.
After thinking about it, Maud led out of Thomas Shipyard and came to North Street.
Suddenly, gunshots rang out.
Dozens of buckshots flew out of the shadows, heading straight for Maud.
Maud noticed something, but did nothing.
Lafayette's eyes turned cold, and he came to Maud's left side with a flash step, and shot down all the lead bullets that flew over with his armed cane.
Jaya came to Maud's right side, pulled out the hand axe, and shot down the lead bullet that was aimed at Maud neatly.
The sudden shooting frightened Betty to the center of Jim's legs for the first time, and then slumped to the ground in relief, as if this was the only safe place at the moment.
Bailey lay on Maud's shoulder, glanced sideways at Betty who was frightened, and yawned involuntarily.
The shooting happened suddenly.
After the gunshots passed, the residents on the street reacted. After subconsciously hiding from various obstacles, they immediately looked at Maud and his party on the street.
Although there are many pirates in Dick City, street shootings are rare.
I don't know who those people offended...
The residents of Dick City thought silently.
After Lafayette and Jaya blocked the buckshot, Maud stopped and looked calmly at the direction the buckshot was flying.
The breaths that were perceived did not show up, nor did the second round of shots fired, but directly evacuated from the place.
A single blow does not achieve retreat, but it is decisive.
Lafayette danced a circle of stick flowers with a cane, killing intent in his eyes, and asked, "Are you chasing?"
"certainly."
Maud narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "Don't leave any of them, and don't forget to search your body."
"learn."
Lafayette also sneered, and immediately chased after the escaped gunmen.
Jaya hesitated, but also chased the gunman who fled in the other direction.
Maud watched Lafayette and Jaya go after the gunmen who didn't have long eyes, paused, and then looked at a few men in front of the street with obvious killing intent.
Dare to come face to face, obviously quite confident, let alone weak.
"Ah……"
There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Maud's mouth.
If not necessary, he will follow the rules of Dick City well.
Play as low-key as possible until the new ship is built.
But since others have already handed the knife and gun in front of them, then...
kill!
Kill those rats and dare not take the lead!
No one dares to provoke you until you stand here!
