Chapter 74 Not Trying Hard Enough
At present, all news about this gem hurricane is being kept under wraps, and only these people know about it.
However, the problem cannot be solved by simply covering it up.
Once the hurricane officially hits, very few people in the entire Gem Sea will survive.
Even fish-men and other sea creatures find it hard to avoid the dangers of the Gemstone Hurricane Storm, which is not limited to the sea surface.
The meeting between all parties at Gemsea lasted a full 18 hours, but they still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
No one expected this gem hurricane to be so terrifying; humanity is always powerless in the face of natural disasters.
After the meeting ended, a middle-aged woman in the island lord's mansion rubbed her temples, a hint of anxiety creeping onto her face.
Marzaan, the owner of Sapphire Island, is surprisingly just an ordinary person.
"Lady Marzan, what should we do next?"
The steward standing to the side asked respectfully, looking expectantly at Mazan.
The meeting lasted a full 18 hours, and Marzaan hadn't rested for two days and two nights.
The entire meeting was just a bunch of old fogies passing the buck, with no one willing to step forward and take charge.
They made all sorts of nice promises when they formed the Gem Alliance, but now... ha!
When there are benefits, they all rush to the front; now that something's wrong, they all run away faster than the last.
Diamond Island and Crystal Island reaped the most benefits from the Gem Alliance, yet both of them acted like cowards.
I had heard before that Diamond Island and Crystal Island sent an adventure team to a newly discovered ruin in the Crimson Sea with the Deep Blue Caravan, and they only returned last month.
As soon as the adventure team returned, the two islands immediately began constructing defensive buildings.
Marzaan sneered, "I'm afraid the Diamond and Crystal Islands are planning to rule the Gem Sea."
Who would complain about having too many resources?
They're all gone. Even if new forces emerge in the Gem Sea later, they can't possibly surpass them.
"Get them ready to launch Project Ark at any time."
These are all deeply entrenched forces in the Gem Sea; each of them has some trump cards up their sleeve.
Project Ark is Sapphire Island's biggest trump card, but once the project is launched, it means that the entire Sapphire Island will cease to exist.
"Wait, let's contact Qinglan on Emerald Island first."
"Then, go and find Chen Qing."
As if remembering something, Marzaan called out to the steward who was about to leave.
"Chen Qing?"
The internal affairs officer naturally knew who Chen Qing was; she was currently the most popular newcomer in the Deep Blue Sea.
Many people were eyeing Dalia, but she ended up intercepting her and handing her over to Lei Guang.
None of the hunters or pirates on the entire island managed to touch a single hair on Dalia's head.
Marzaan was also thinking of treating a dead fish as a living fish. As the island owner, she only wanted to develop the island, and she was fully aware of everything that was happening on the island.
Chen Qing's mechanical talent was truly astonishing.
The island lord's mansion also employs several senior mechanics, and even one engineering mechanic who specializes in researching defensive fortifications.
After a mechanic breaks through to the advanced level, they will usually specialize in a certain direction, just like a combatant chooses a weapon, becoming a master mechanic of a certain style.
For example, there are the engineering mechanics employed by the island lord's mansion, as well as other battlefield mechanics, ordnance mechanics, data mechanics, and so on...
After Chen Qing breaks through to the advanced mechanic level, he will most likely become a mechanic with the title of extraordinary.
The protective shield on Sapphire Island is a mechanical creation from the Crimson Sea, and the mechanics stationed on the island are there specifically to maintain it.
Marzaan recognized Chen Qing's mechanical talent and hoped he could bring her some unexpected joy.
After all, no one expected that she would be able to deliver Dalia to Lei Guang.
Marzaan doesn't want to start Project Ark unless absolutely necessary.
Sapphire Island is different from other islands; there are almost no top-tier experts on the island.
Marzaan, the island's owner, was just an ordinary person.
The reason they were able to become a neutral force in the Gem Sea was partly due to the constant emergence of powerful pirates like Lightning and the Gem Pirate Crew.
Another part is because of the Ark.
The Ark cannot turn Mazan into a super expert, but it can certainly take down the entire territory of any faction in the Deep Blue Sea.
While on the ship, Chen Qing, whose mind was filled with various data, parts, and metal, never expected that he would be targeted by Marzan.
The studio was littered with discarded blueprints. Chen Qing frowned, stuck in a dead end, unable to find a solution.
The mini factory next door has already started producing the three device blueprints that Chen Qing had previously researched.
"..."
Having been troubled by this problem for two whole days, Chen Qing stared at the blueprints on the table and, rather childishly, slammed his pen on the table.
Indeed, I still need to read more books; you only realize how little you know when you need it.
Chen Qing downed a glass of cold, strong tea, which slightly eased his depression.
She had absolutely no idea how to combine the Super Shield Whale's shield with the underwater device's membrane, or how to perfectly replace it.
Whether it's the shield or the membrane, they are both core elements of the blueprint, and they are conflicting entities.
Chen Qing tried several times, wasting hundreds of goldfish, but besides frying his face until it was charred black, he got no results.
These two drawings are compatible only downwards, not upwards.
The Super Shield Whale is a blue-quality blueprint, and Chen Qing attempted to downgrade and fuse it midway through.
She succeeded in creating a high-quality, green-grade super-shield whale device. It has the shape of a whale, a shield, and underwater survival capabilities.
Unfortunately, it was of green quality, which was not what Chen Qing wanted at all.
However, the Bomb Hunter Rabbit and the underwater device are completely incompatible.
Chen Qing, who was trying to upgrade the green blueprint to a purple quality blueprint, attributed all the problems to his own lack of effort.
I still need to put in some more effort to learn more.
She never considered that if mechanical blueprints were so easy to modify and upgrade, why would there be a difference in quality?
Being able to transform a green-quality environmental adaptation device into a blue-quality one, as an intermediate-level mechanic, she already surpasses countless advanced mechanics and even masters of different schools of mechanics.
She was able to perfectly preserve the characteristics of the two independent blueprints, something that many different schools of mechanics could not do, yet Chen Qing was still not satisfied.
To some extent, the incompatibility between the two drawings is indeed due to Chen Qing's lack of effort.
She had absolutely no idea that it might be a problem with the compatibility of the drawings.
What a terrifying woman! Not only is she more talented and works harder than others, but she also feels that she's not working hard enough.
Just as Chen Qing was processing his defeat and preparing to fight again, the island lord's steward quietly arrived outside Chen Qing's ship.
However, before she could utter a sound, she was controlled by the super-powered vines on the deck.
"I'm from the Island Lord's Mansion!! I'm not a bad person!!"
Faced with the ever-contracting force of the super-powered vines, the internal affairs officer, whose face was red and unable to breathe, hurriedly shouted out his identity!
