Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 103 Probe Ship

"Sorry, I was the one who lost my temper."

Vegasha got up, gathered the scattered documents, and sat down on the chair again.

"Dilu, right? I've written down the information you and Li Fan submitted. This is the badge of a chartered researcher. You go to the laboratory to complete the experiment as soon as possible, just issue a research report, and leave the rest to the headquarters."

Vegasha awarded the medal and began to draw up a pen to draft the document.

Di Lu went back to the Yanhuo to collect the samples of the Hexing Stone, and came to the research institute at the headquarters.

"Experiment? Now?"

At the door of the laboratory, the female researcher on the night shift was a little confused.

"Yes, it's urgent, this is the chartered researcher badge meow."

Di Lu shook the badge.

"Ok."

The female researcher took out the key from under the flower pot on the side of the laboratory door.

"What material do you need, I can help you get it."

"Scorching carapace."

Li Fan responded.

"Why is it a scorching carapace again? It's in the No. 3 material warehouse, but I can't move it alone."

The female researcher said helplessly.

"I'll go too, Di Lu, you are waiting on the test bench."

"Okay meow!"

Dilu then unloaded the backpack and took out the items needed for the experiment.

creak! The door of the No. 3 material warehouse opens.

Seeing the scorching carapaces hanging all over the wall, Li Fan was taken aback for a moment.

"How much is this?"

"Originally there were 61 pieces, but the workshop just took 20 pieces away, saying that they were processed into airship external armor. The remaining 41 pieces, of which 11 pieces were severely worn due to impact tests, and 20 pieces were tested for attribute resistance. It is not completely original. It seems that there are still a few pieces that have been used for extreme environmental tests. If you want to find original samples, it is recommended to choose the 10 pieces on the right, which have not been tested.”

The female researcher said.

"I'll just have one."

Li Fan walked up to him, glanced at the label hanging on the carapace, and then picked up the carapace.

Arriving at the test stand, just as the scorching carapace was put down, several red lightning bolts surged up in the glass bottle containing the Hexing stone and struck the wall of the bottle.

"The activity of Hexing Stone has been greatly stimulated meow!"

Di Lu said, and quickly recorded it in the notebook.

Then he picked up the glass bottle and poked it into the scorching carapace.

The red electric light converged into an arc, which violently hit the bottle wall.

snap!A crack was pierced through the glass bottle, and the distorted electric light was like a small snake, lingering on the surface of the scorching carapace.

Zizi!The electric light glowed black, flickered briefly and then faded away completely.

"Well, if it is a large-scale Hexing stone vein, then the resonance effect should be far beyond the experimental environment, and it will be easily noticed. With Huihui's terrifying vision. Dilu, our guess is right!"

Li Fan said.

After several experiments and repeated verifications, a research report was completed.

In the early morning of the next day, the airport above the headquarters was unprecedentedly crowded, and countless small airships hovered there.

Li Fan didn't know until he saw the bulletin board that the Longli Institute issued an urgent announcement overnight to find the Hexing stone vein.

All non-essential freight and carrier routes are suspended, and all airships must be on standby in the port.

The only ones that are allowed to leave the port are the airships that have accepted the Hexingite vein exploration contract.

Li Fan lamented that the response speed was fast enough.

However, it is very difficult for Zhan Zhan to find a brand-new swallowstone vein, let alone the Hexingite vein that has always been recognized as unique to Yiqunling.

Hey?In other words, if the tail blade is ground with Hexing Stone, will a kind of Red Emperor Holy Sword be developed?
While Li Fan was thinking wildly, a craftsman of the airship workshop posted a notice on the notice board.

The crowd immediately moved closer to watch.

Hualai Airship Jet (beta version), now openly recruiting test subjects, small and medium-sized airship version, only 35000z a piece.

For more details, please contact the front desk of Longliyuan Airship Manufacturing Workshop.

The injector seems to have only been used on giant combat airships, so the civilian version will be released so soon?

Curious, Li Fan went to the airship manufacturing workshop behind the airport.

Passing through the wide empty bridge, a huge rectangular open-air factory building floats in mid-air.

Yes, the airship manufacturing workshop is also an airship, but all the airbags are located under the workshop.

Like the rough exterior, there is basically no elaborate layout inside the factory building, and you can see the working workshop as soon as you enter the gate.

Li Fan took a glance and saw that there were about seven or eight airship hulls, which were being manufactured and modified internally.

"Excuse me, is this Hualai injector installed here?"

Li Fan pointed to the promotional posters on the wall and asked.

"Yes, the public beta version is on sale now, and there is a discount for installing two."

The male craftsman with round goggles introduced it excitedly.

"How much cheaper can it be?"

"The calibration price is 35000 z. If you buy two to form a double-sided propulsion, you can save 10000 z, which is 30000 z. If you buy four to form a propulsion array, you can save 110000 z, which is [-] z. Buy eight components."

"Thank you, I don't think I need that much."

"That's four?"

"I expected... two."

Li Fan stretched out two fingers.

"Okay, if the fee can be paid in full today, I'll give you a shipwreck insurance."

"Why does it feel like you're in a hurry?"

Li Fan asked puzzledly.

"Don't mention it. Ever since the investigation of Tianhuilong began, the financial pressure of Longli Institute has been increasing. The dean has set income targets for each department. There is no way for our airship manufacturing workshop to generate income quickly. We can try to sell small and medium injectors."

The male craftsman sighed.

"It's so miserable. Can it be cheaper?"

"Look at the injectors on the market, they are all self-developed by Longli Academy."

"Well, forget it."

Li Fan turned around while speaking.

"Ahem. Hmm. At least 55000 two, it can't be any cheaper."

The male craftsman said sadly.

"OK! Deal!"

The male craftsman's eyes lit up, but before he saw the money, the exquisite badge was first photographed on the counter.

"Are you an advanced hunter?"

The corner of the male craftsman's mouth twitched.

"Yes, if you get 38500% off, that's .[-]z!"

"Wait, I, Hua Lai, have been designing airships in the manufacturing workshop for more than ten years. Why have I never seen you?"

Hua Lai feels that since he is a high-level hunter, he must have some dealings with airships.

"It's normal. I'm a new star hunter, and I've only been promoted to a senior level not long ago. In addition, the Yanhuo has not undergone major modifications, so naturally I have no contact with it."

Li Fan informed.

"Well, this is a contract. If it is convenient to bring the airship over today, there will be someone responsible for guiding it when it rappels into the factory building."

After Hua Lai finished speaking, he looked at the price tag on the contract and sighed melancholy.

Half an hour later, Ferry piloted the Yanhuo and airborne inside the factory building.

After the No. 4 workshop landed and stopped, four craftsmen stepped forward skillfully to make modifications.

Yudora and Dilu wanted to visit the airship manufacturing workshop, so they disembarked together.

"The workshop on the left, why does it seem that there are many craftsmen busy in each of them?"

Li Fan asked curiously.

"This is a temporary 10-person workshop. The main reason is that the processing and installation of the scorching carapace is too difficult, so it is necessary to concentrate manpower."

Walley explained.

"Hasn't Dean Vegasha communicated with the manufacturing workshop?"

Li Fan felt that if Huihui saw that her lost carapace was used as a material to add to the airship, she would definitely tear the airship in half on the spot.

"This is what the director meant. When I first saw the analysis report of the scorching carapace, I knew it was an excellent material to be applied to the exterior of the hull, and I also did a very in-depth research. However, it took less than 2 minutes to submit the application to her. , I was rejected after a quick glance, and in the middle of the night last night, I suddenly had to install it urgently, saying that it would be converted into a detection ship in batches.”

Hua Lai was also inexplicable when he mentioned this matter.

However, according to the emergency announcement issued by the airport, he speculated that the situation might not be good.

Add the scorching carapace to the airship and convert it into a detection ship for searching for Hexingite veins. You really have it, Dean.

However, according to the resonance intensity in the report, the flying height of the airship will be severely restricted if one wants to detect the underground Hexingite veins.

"Engineer Hualai, what are the advantages of processing this scorching carapace into hull armor?"

Li Fan asked tentatively.

"Of course, but this is not called scorching carapace. Each material has its own code name in the workshop. I named it zmc. It is characterized by high temperature resistance, super high strength and ridiculously light weight compared with similar materials. If the shaping is done properly, a streamlined design can be created on the surface of the hull, which can greatly reduce wind resistance, but the only disadvantage is that it is too difficult to process.”

"Zmc is probably a coincidence."

Li Fan muttered.

I thought to myself, isn't this the material used by Dr. Tsuchiya for the new triangular arrow?

At dusk, the modification was finally completed.

Two barrel-shaped injectors are installed on the left and right sides of the Yanhuo.

As for the fuel tank, it's in the interior of the cabin near the stern.

Hua Lai was very responsible for explaining the usage method and precautions to the team members.

"The red lever must never be touched, the red lever must never be touched"

Yudora heard several operations that would cause the boat to crash, and recited it silently several times before she felt relieved.

"Okay, the Yanhuo modification has been delivered, I hope the team will have a smooth journey."

After Hua Lai finished speaking, he had to find someone to guide the Yanhuo to leave the factory.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Fan, who was holding a stack of documents, ran over quickly.

"Li Fan?"

"Engineer Hualai, this is a modification permit issued by the dean."

"Well, I'm going to sail to the volcano area tomorrow night. Time is a bit tight. I'll try my best."

Wallace speculated.

"Thank you."

On the way back to the headquarters, Yudora, who was full of doubts, asked: "The scorching carapace can be added to the airship casually, right? And now the airport has banned sailing, what are we going to do in the volcanic area?"

"I'm going to take a team to explore the Hexingite vein."

Li Fan explained.

"This is going to bring a professional exploration team, meow?"

Dilu asked.

"Di Lu, you forgot the results of your research so quickly?"

"Oh! I see meow! An armor made of scorching carapace!"

Dilu was stunned.

"what are you guys saying."

Udora, like an outsider, felt like she didn't understand anything.

After Di Lu's explanation, I realized how big a shock the great discovery of one person and one cat yesterday caused in the headquarters of Longli Academy.

"So this free modification is considered the dean's reward to the team?"

Eudora asked.

"No, I talked to the dean in the afternoon and pointed out that it is indeed a wonderful way to use an airship to detect Hexingite veins, but due to height restrictions, the detection ship will be particularly dangerous when traveling in some areas, so I just Take the initiative to accept the detection work in the volcanic area."

Li Fan explained.

"That's right, it is indeed dangerous for airships to fly at low altitudes. Wait a minute, those probe ships that are being refitted."

Eudora looked back at the airship manufacturing workshop.

"No way, we can only explore one area at most."

Choosing the most dangerous volcanic area is the only thing Li Fan can do to help the detection fleet.

"Okay! I'm going to prepare supplies!"

"I'll help me too!"

Yudora Delu said, and ran to the trading market not far away.

In the early morning of the next day, the team came to the airship manufacturing workshop to check the modification progress.

In front of No. 4 workshop, seeing Hua Lai standing with folded arms, Li Fan walked over to say hello.

"Engineer Hualai, are you okay?"

Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the other party, Li Fan asked uncertainly.

"Hehehehehehe"

Wallace let out a series of idiotic laughter.

While Li Fan was puzzled, he followed his gaze and looked over.

"Li Fan?"

Seeing Li Fan standing still with Hua Lai, Yudora asked tentatively.

"Hehehehehehe"

Li Fan also laughed foolishly.

"What's wrong with you?"

As Yudora said, she turned her head and looked inside the No. 4 workshop.

"This is the Yanhuo?"

Eudora was taken aback.

The entire periphery of Yanhuo's cabin is covered with feathery silver flakes, and the edge of each flake is as sharp as a blade.

Under the reshaping of the sheet, the hull becomes more slender, and the overall design tends to be triangular and streamlined.

"I have used all the modification skills I have learned on this Yanhuo."

Wallace said with emotion.

"Thank you, Engineer Wallace."

"That's not necessary, just show the senior hunter badge at the counter earlier."

Hua Lai finished with a smile, and turned serious: "Your team chose the most dangerous area to explore, but it is also the area most likely to find Hexingite veins. Greatly strengthened, it must not be taken lightly in the volcanic area."

"We'll be careful."

Li Fan said seriously.

"You guys are here, meow!"

When Ferry saw the team members, he swung the cable and jumped off the boat.

"Huh? Ferui Meow is willing to get off the boat!"

Dilu was a little surprised when he saw this.

puff!Ferry hugged Li Fan's thigh, and said with tears in his eyes: "I want to sign a long-term contract! I will definitely try my best to drive the Yanhuo! Please don't change the pilot!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Li Fan didn't quite understand what Ferry meant.

Hua Lai explained softly: "After some airships have been greatly modified and strengthened, the existing pilots will be replaced in order to pursue stronger air performance."

"That's it, let's sign a super-short-term one first, test Ferry's ability, and replace it if it doesn't work."

Li Fan said with a smile.

"Yes, meow! How long will it take to sign?"

"Just sign for 100 years."
