Chapter 36 Mechanical Spider Bomb
Even late at night, Sapphire Island remains brightly lit, with pirate ships and merchant ships coming and going in an endless stream, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.
The drunken pirates sang loudly, staggering along the harbor, and any minor squabbles were quickly resolved.
The hunters, weapons in hand, kept a close watch on every passing pirate with eyes as sharp as eagles.
People were coming and going everywhere.
For everyone on the island, especially for all the pirates in the deep blue sea, the capture of Dahlia was a rare and grand celebration.
Pirate groups of all sizes gathered together, attracting countless hunters and caravans.
"It's really lively."
Gao Yue rested her hands on the railing, looking down at the entire port, and sighed with heartfelt emotion.
Chen Qing leaned against the railing, quietly drinking his wine and gazing at the sea.
On the high seas, ships ablaze with fire stretched out in a continuous line, all heading towards this grand event.
As the central figure of this grand event, Daliya was sent to bed early by Chen Qing. Under Chen Qing's protection, Daliya slept soundly, completely unconcerned about how many people were worried about her.
This wasn't something she should have been worried about.
"By the way, there's been news about the blueprints you asked me to keep an eye on for you."
“The other party offered three sailboats, but she only wanted the boats, each with at least 20 cabins and complete infrastructure.”
Gao Yue turned her head to look at Chen Qing, who had asked her to keep an eye on the blueprints for mechanical bombs a couple of days ago.
Although Chen Qing has a middleman named Qingxian in his private channel, Qingxian deals more with ordinary survivors.
In terms of extraordinary individuals, Gao Yue knew far more than Qing Xian.
Superhumans are generally stronger than ordinary survivors, and naturally they have more valuable items.
"It's a bit difficult to handle, but I've seen it, and the product is indeed very good."
"Grade C, judged as purple quality, simple materials."
A salty sea breeze blew by, carrying a faint smell of gunpowder.
Not far away, two groups of pirates were exchanging fire, the towering cannon fire sounding like fireworks for this grand celebration.
The people at the port, always eager for a good show, cheered and waved flags for them.
The faces, red and distorted, looked ferocious; the war between pirates would never end.
"……Can."
Chen Qing frowned slightly, but she still agreed.
Three sailboats with 20 cabins each; I wonder if the shipyard on Sapphire Island has enough suitable ones in stock.
"When the other party heard that it was you who wanted it, so..."
Gao Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled, then flipped her wrist, revealing a thin sheet of paper between two fingers.
"?"
Chen Qing blinked slowly, wondering if she was seeing things because she was drunk.
"You're the one who saved her daughter; she was one of the kids on the desert island."
However, personal relationships are personal relationships, and business is business. This blueprint doesn't belong to that extraordinary person alone.
She was willing to guarantee Chen Qing's early delivery, but she couldn't harm the interests of her partner.
Chen Qing's eagerness for the blueprints for the mechanical bomb must be for something very important. Gao Yue didn't press Chen Qing about what he wanted to do, and forced herself not to think about it too much.
If you keep thinking about it, you'll cross the line.
Although the other party was willing to pay in advance because of Chen Qing, Gao Yue was still able to get her hands on the blueprints first.
She is quite capable.
Moreover, Gao Yue must have spent a lot of time mediating the other party's willingness to pay in advance.
That's indeed the case, since the blueprints weren't drawn by one person.
"I've chartered your boat."
Chen Qing took the blueprints, her tone calm.
Her gaze fell on the pirate ships, ready-made.
Gao Yue saw this, smiled, and put her arm around Chen Qing's shoulder.
"Actually, I had already picked out that ship, and it was perfect for us."
She pointed to a ship; it's normal for pirates to fight over things, isn't it?
They're doing this on behalf of Heaven, right?
That ship, regardless of its size or quality, and the strength of the pirates on board, was perfectly suited for them.
However, there were quite a few pirates on the ship.
Of the five people, Gao Yue is the only one with extraordinary abilities suitable for combat.
If Chen Qing is willing to help, that would be wonderful.
"Leave the reconnaissance to us; I can keep the sea monsters on their ship occupied."
Gao Yue took a liking to the ship, but her main interest was also in the sea creatures they kept.
A powerful sea monster could make them invincible at sea.
When to make a move?
Chen Qing asked in a low voice.
"Tomorrow night, their pirate crew has a grudge against another pirate crew, and that crew will arrive at Sapphire Island tomorrow night. They plan to ambush them."
Gao Yue had already found out everything, and even though Chen Qing hadn't spoken, they were ready to take action.
Large-scale weaponry is not permitted on Sapphire Island, especially in the port area.
Therefore, they could only take action when the pirate ship was leaving port.
That was their best opportunity.
"good."
Chen Qing nodded and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore."
Gao Yue waved her hand, turned around, and went back to her room.
Their group was temporarily staying on Chen Qing's boat. There was no other way; the hotels and guesthouses on the island were already fully booked, so they had to swallow their pride and ask Chen Qing for help.
Fortunately, Chen Qing didn't mind, and they helped with whatever they could.
With Gao Yue and the other four extraordinary individuals around, Daliya's safety is absolutely guaranteed.
Because of the unique nature of their extraordinary abilities, no one on Sapphire Island could take Dalia away without the five of them being aware of it.
Tonight, Qiao Zhiyu and Zuo Yun caught a pirate who was trying to sneak into the ship from the bottom.
Chen Qing suspected that they were sent by Jerome. They sent him directly to the Bounty Guild to collect the bounty and then bought a bunch of random things.
Having received the blueprints, Chen Qing didn't linger on the deck; he immediately returned to the workshop to study them.
A C-grade mechanical bomb blueprint classified as purple quality.
[Mechanical Spider Bomb: A miniature spider-shaped bomb with terrifying power. It is very fast, has incredibly sharp claws, and can move freely even underwater.]
The spider bomb is very small, about the size of two fingers.
Just as Gao Yue said, the ingredients are simple.
Simple materials mean low cost, but one of these materials is quite special.
As luck would have it, Chen Qing managed to get a batch of [items] from Grandma Peach's recycling plant.
Based on the size of the spider bombs, Chen Qing could make at least 100,000 of them.
One hundred thousand spider bombs...
Chen Qing felt it was necessary to be on the safe side and to release at least a million of them on Sapphire Island.
Moreover, the construction of mechanical spiders is a bit too complicated.
With the existing capabilities of the mechanical factory, it is impossible to completely replicate the power of the mechanical spider.
Chen Qing needs to modify it slightly, just a little bit.
