Chapter 257 Drone Control Center
Chapter 257 Drone Control Center
Neild is very busy now, and almost everyone feels that their position is extremely important.
Inspired by Ivan, reforms in mining technology began among front-line workers.
Slide rails, mine carts, elevators, these previously unimaginable ingenious designs were developed one by one under the joint efforts of specially hired consultant Mr. Leia and Daryl, who switched careers to specialize in mechanics.
The original ore output was increased nearly tenfold, and Neild's houses and various facilities began to be renovated.
On the other side of the mining town is the Neild Military Factory organized and built by Daryl.
Although Leia discovered that the [Flying Eye] drone lacked many functions and began to modify it;
However, the workers on the entire assembly line are becoming more and more skilled, and the production speed can still be maintained at ten units per month.
Not long ago, miners working at the bottom of the pit discovered a large amount of copper ore, which is now being smelted using traditional techniques.
I really look forward to the [Flying Eye] I make, which can be coated with magic metal like Mr. Leia's one.
While Daryl was checking the Flying Eye drone produced today, he was thinking secretly in his mind.
"Uncle Daryl! Uncle Daryl!"
A young girl's voice came from mid-air.
Daryl, who was already used to this, raised his head and looked at the metal sphere in the air.
"What's wrong, Vera? Are you here to add parts to your Flying Eye again?"
The [Flying Eye] in mid-air scratched its head with its own limbs. This action was very human-like - half-human-like.
"No...Uncle Daryl, Lord Ivan is back, and he brought a lot of supplies!"
"Supplies? Didn't the eldest lady of the Toomba family just send a batch of food?"
"It's not food, anyway, come and take a look!"
After saying this, the [Flying Eye] controlled by Vera spun in the air and flew in another direction.
"It seems that Lord Alvin's plan in Huiyao City is going smoothly."
Daryl took a white towel and carefully wiped the drone in his hand clean.
……
"Brother-in-law! You finally came back... Eh? What are you going to do, sister?"
A short guy who likes to seek death was given a slap in the face by his eldest sister as soon as they met.
After letting Ruiwo and several coachmen hand over the supplies, Alvin and Xilingyani came to a new building in the center of the town.
This is the drone control center they started planning before setting off.
A single-story building stands in the center of the town, and the layout inside is very simple.
At first glance, it was empty and there was nothing.
Because this building is just a cover, the real control center is twenty feet underground.
The miners who were good at digging dug a wide passage under the small building, directly connecting to the previously abandoned mine.
Under Leia's guidance, the control center was officially put into use after lighting equipment and ventilation ducts were installed.
The thirty drone pilots were divided into three teams of ten, taking turns to perform reconnaissance and patrol missions.
That’s why there’s the story of Vera claiming to be the captain of the first reconnaissance team.
Following Lian downstairs, Alvin looked at the wall decorations that were clearly in the style of a moon elf, and couldn't help but think of the underground laboratory where he first met the old lickspittle.
He raised his head and looked around, and finally found the old dog Leia holding the ball with her eyes closed in a corner.
"Hey! What's up?
Your expression is a bit too serious!"
Ivan sat down next to Leia and put one hand on the moon elf wizard's shoulder.
Leia opened her eyes, glanced at the human pervert next to her, and closed her eyes again.
"Human boy, stop making noise, I'm annoyed...
I set out from the Gray Haze Forest to look for the traces of the moon elves.
I thought they were hiding along the path around Huiyao City, but I used this thing you made to search the entire area like plowing the land -
As a result, no trace of the moon elves was found, but two wild elves that had returned to their ancestral state were found..."
Touching the control ball casually with her hand, Leia began to operate her own adamantine [Flying Eye] to return home.
"At that time, there were about a hundred people... about a hundred elves?
Old licker, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come here alone to find them..."
Before he could finish his words, a human girl ran over hurriedly holding the control ball and spoke loudly to Leia and Ivan.
“Teacher Leia! Master Ivan!
I found swarms of humanoids in the west...humanoids with lizard heads and wings!"
Half dragon!
Ivan's heart tightened and he immediately moved closer to the little girl, scaring the girl who was obviously underage so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
"Number, I mean, how many creatures are there?"
"There are probably more than sixty of them, Lord Ivan..."
Hearing this number, Alvin was full of doubts.
The advance force that attacked the Frost Giants' walls previously was only slightly smaller than this number.
“The others continued to scout their rear to see if there were any other troops.
Little girl, can you help me see if these half-dragons are holding a large fire stick?"
The little human girl obediently closed her eyes and fiddled with it for a long time with a frown on her face. Without opening her eyes, she just spoke.
"They have many kinds of weapons in their hands. Almost every one of them has several of the things you mentioned, and - Oh no! They found me!"
The little girl held the control ball tightly in panic, as if she was trying desperately to speed up.
"All the sticks in their hands were pointed at me!
Something is coming out from inside...Ah!"
The little human girl opened her eyes, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead.
Leia let go a hand and placed it on the girl's shoulder.
“It’s okay, the enemy can only knock out the [Flying Eye], they can’t hurt you.
Calm down and take a break."
"Okay, Mr. Leia..."
Looking at the girl who was still nervously covering her balls, Alvin looked at the dog-licker Leia in disbelief.
"What? The half-dragons have to follow your wishes and come from the east?"
Thinking that Alvin was surprised at the direction of the half-dragon's attack, the old bootlicker started to diss him as usual in annoyance.
"No no no..."
Ivan waved his hands repeatedly.
"I really can't believe that a thousand-year-old bootlicker can be so gentle to other girls..."
"It's a child! A child! I always treat children like this, okay!"
