Chapter 380 Ironclad Ship
Interview? Report? Qiao Xi listened to these two words in confusion. He searched his memory for a long time before finding some corresponding information in the rumors about Rhine.
It seems to be some kind of biography? It is said that there is a fashionable thing called "newspaper" in the Rhine. Castel also has one? This should be some kind of serious record. Thinking of this, Josh stood up straight and nodded: "It's an honor."
"No, no, no, it's my honor. I've wanted to see you in person for a long time!" Nini was obviously excited. She picked up a notebook with one hand, and the other five hands held pens ready to take notes at any time. She looked at Qiao Xi eagerly and licked her lips.
Qiao Xi shuddered inexplicably, as if she was being stared at by a terrifying being, but when she thought of the other person's identity, she nodded in understanding - this must be the legendary murderous aura. With such a powerful warrior like her, she might be able to scare people into stone with just a glare.
"Okay, Mr. Josh, where did you just come from?"
"Well, it's over there, at Zoe's place."
"Zoe?" Nini's eyes lit up and her five hands frantically took notes in her notebook.
Qiao Xi's eyes gradually became confused. How could one name remember so many things?
"Oh, don't worry about me, Mr. Josh, just keep talking."
"Okay, well, our Order didn't actually do anything. We were even nearly breached through the barricades when the rebellion first began. Luckily the prince arrived with the Harbor Guards."
"The prince led the harbor guards to break through the siege and rescued you at the critical moment." Nini started writing again.
"Well, he not only saved me, but there would be casualties if the secret society's barricades were breached. I am very grateful to him. Oh, and Galahad as well."
"Galahad!?" Nini's eyes widened. "He even brought Galahad with him? Are you guys making such a big deal?"
Josh gave a confused look but nodded. “Yes, Galahad was there too, but I left quickly and followed Zoe to the bell tower.”
"The prince tried his best to get to you, but he only saw the back of Priest Josh. The knights beside him were covered in wounds, but he was reluctant to even look at them." Nini's five hands left afterimages. "Wait, what did you say? You climbed up the bell tower with Zoe?"
"Yes, yes." Josh's bad feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Okay, who of you jumped?"
"???"
"No one dances?" Nini looked disappointed.
"Bang, of course no one jumped!" Qiao Xi was sweating profusely. He had always been indifferent to life and death, but now he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more terrifying than death.
Is this the world of the strong? Even without using force, it is so frightening. It is worthy of being an extraordinary creature! "You basically know what happened next. The prince set a trap, [Mother] was resurrected, and Mira and [Mother] died together in the final bombing." At this point, Qiao Xi suddenly felt his throat dry.
"Mira."
Nini put away her pen and notebook, with a complicated look in her eyes: "She seemed to have some difficulties, but the disaster she caused was also real. In any case, she killed many people, and she died because of it - it's fair."
The banshee's gaze passed over Josh and looked towards Blood Harbor, this decadent and prosperous city that had buried countless conspiracies and cries, but now only ruins remained.
The people on the boat moved around in an orderly manner, busying themselves, bringing some vitality to this devastated land.
".Lady Nini?" Qiao Xi called out tentatively. The tall banshee sighed and turned to look at him.
"It's okay. Castel is best at standing up again in the midst of disaster. What did the Lord say? What doesn't kill you will make you stronger." Nini shrugged. "We are just like the [loving mother], constantly getting stronger."
Josh nodded in agreement, he was from Castel and had been since he was a child, he had seen this island become stronger and stronger.
At that time, he bought a shipload of soap on credit and went out to sea because he was optimistic about the development of this place and was ready to try to be a maritime merchant. However, he did not expect that the soap would turn into soap and he inexplicably became the leader of a cult.
Qiao Xi froze suddenly. He just remembered that he still owed a shipload of soap and he had no money.
Never mind, he wouldn't care if there were two or three nooses around his neck.
Josh looked around. Airships, ironclad ships, Banshee heavy machine guns. The changes on the island in the past few months were greater than what he had seen in the previous decades.
"It's an incredible creation. When the giant beast tore through the sky, I really thought that a god had descended."
"You'll get used to it. Castel has plenty of these things. You haven't even seen the Stellar Furnace yet. That thing really has an evil god stuffed inside it."
Josh was stunned.
"The less you care about gods, the easier it is to get close to them. This world is really absurd. Maybe that's why Zeus always emphasizes that he is not a god."
Nini sighed.
"Indeed, for example, this coffin ironclad ship is hard to imagine. It is three times the size of an ordinary ship, right? And its shape is so unique, with so many small boats hanging around it. Will it release water and let the small boats charge during the battle?"
Nini's face looked strange.
The ironclad ship does look intimidating, but Nini is a banshee who runs around in the sea around Castel all day long.
The shipwrecks produced by the shipyard almost filled up the sea. Some had uneven center of gravity, so the bow would tilt up and break when the ship was started; some had flaws in the design of watertight compartments, so the waves inside the cabin were bigger than those outside after water entered; some were designed to be too narrow, so when a wave came, the bottom of the ship turned upside down and the deck turned down on its back. Finally, Castel's ship designer finally compromised and designed a huge and square ship. Due to the insufficient structural design level, the entire ship was piled with extremely thick steel plates, and finally such a monster was built.
Hughes had no experience in ship design, but he was surprised to find that this thing was very similar to the cargo ships that carried containers on Blue Planet. This kind of ship had a bulge that made it stable, and at least it was difficult to capsize at sea.
As expected, design will eventually tend towards an optimal solution. Castel has come back here after going around in circles.
Apart from looking a bit dull and like a coffin box, it actually has no major disadvantages for transportation.
And it looks quite intimidating. After all, it is really big, and the entire ship is made of steel.
The Blood Harbor Rebellion broke out too suddenly, and Zeus was totally unprepared. He could only make do with this ship that "didn't look like it would sink for the time being". The small boats hanging on both sides were actually lifeboats to prevent it from sinking suddenly.
Nini really didn't expect that Qiao Xi could imagine so many messed up things in his mind, and her expression became embarrassed for a moment.
Fortunately, this awkwardness did not last long - the negotiations between Hughes and the prince seemed to be over, and the two walked out together.
