Mechanical Doctor

…

After the war.

Navy base.

Melodious music came from the banquet hall.

On the dance floor, the ladies and some men in officers' uniforms danced.

Several high-ranking officials of the navy were toasting with Manolin and his men.

Today, Manolin happened to catch up with the navy's monthly dance.

Manolin, who was warmly invited, simply participated.

But before attending the banquet, Manolin notified the logistics vehicle in the arsenal and asked the people in the factory to drive over to refill the mecha with liquid phlogiston essence and replenish some ammunition.

Although the mecha lost this test, Manolin was not without benefits.

At least he saw the legendary combat power and gave him a lot of ideas for improving the mecha.

As for the navy's intention to purchase the mini-Titan mecha.

Manolin didn't say much and directly let the navy's people enter the mecha to feel it.

The result was that the high-level strong men of the navy couldn't drive the mini-Titan mecha at all.

Manolin explained to these people.

That is, the most basic standard for this mecha to start is a high-level [mechanic] or other professions in the same system as [mechanic].

For Manolin's explanation, the navy looked at each other in bewilderment.

There are high-level [alchemists] and [forgers] in the entire Elliot Federation, but these people are the treasures of the entire navy, and the Navy Headquarters cannot easily send these people to the naval base in Gran City.

In addition, these people are logistics personnel, so it is even more impossible for them to fight on the battlefield.

These people play a significant role in logistics. If one of them is lost, the federal navy will be heartbroken.

Not to mention, it is still unclear how much combat power these logistics personnel can have when driving mechas.

Therefore, the plan of the Gran City Navy to purchase mini-Titan mechas was aborted.

However, this does not hinder the Gran Navy's enthusiastic attitude towards Manolin.

After all, in addition to mechas, Manolin has many things that the navy needs very much.

For example, the steam cannons on the mini Titan mecha.

If these cannons are installed on warships, the combat effectiveness of the warships will definitely be greatly improved.

And Manolin also needs help from the navy.

He wants to get some shipbuilding technology from the navy.

Manolin has been thinking about shipbuilding for a long time. He has long wanted to build a big ship as a mobile hospital.

Even if the technology and funds are sufficient, he even wants to build a sea city.

There is a reason why Manolin did this.

His idea is very simple. If he wants to increase his reputation as soon as possible, it is too slow to gain reputation by slowly treating patients.

So Manolin must do some tricks, or gimmicks.

For example, a medical ship that shuttles between coastal cities is a very gimmicky thing.

Of course, Manolin also has alternative means, such as a railway medical train.

However, he gave up considering that the federal railway only connected several industrial cities.

The atmosphere of the Navy's cocktail party was very lively. Because most of the participants were extraordinary people, everyone was not afraid of getting drunk.

As one of the protagonists of the cocktail party, Manolin was frequently toasted by the Navy's officers.

Although Manolin was already a high-level professional and digested alcohol very quickly, he could not withstand so many people drinking.

Soon Manolin was a little drunk.

Manolin saw that this was not okay. He hadn't finished his business yet, so he couldn't get drunk.

He hurried to the commander of the Gran City Naval Base to discuss various matters regarding the purchase of ship technology.

The Navy Commander of Gran City is a lieutenant general. This rank is not low in the Navy. He can make many decisions on his own.

For example, he can make the final decision on the technology of the ship.

"Excuse me, General Grote, I have a deal to discuss with you."

Manolin stopped the Navy Commander who was old but not old at heart and wanted to go to the dance floor to dance.

"No problem, Mr. Manolin, please follow me."

After sending his dance partner away, Grote led Manolin to a quieter corner.

"Mr. Manolin, let's talk about the deal here."

Manolin got straight to the point:

"General Grote, I plan to buy the technology for building large ships that the navy has mastered.

What do you think, General?"

Grote thought for a while and answered readily:

"The technology for building large ships is naturally no problem. I can even send skilled workers and technicians to be your teachers.""General Grote should have conditions, right?"

Manolin knew that there is no free lunch in the world. Grote gave such good conditions, so he must have some requirements.

As expected by Manolin, Grote said:

"I do have a small request. As long as Manolin meets our requirements, I can even give you the technology to build large ships for free."

Grote took a sip of the wine in the glass and continued:

"My request is also very simple, that is, please design a steam main gun and fire control system suitable for our naval warships."

Manolin naturally agreed to Grote's request very readily.

According to his current technical level, designing a steam gun is not a piece of cake?

As for the fire control system, it is even simpler. As long as the original neural connection technology or the current mental connection technology is modified, then the fire control system will be there, right?

Manolin and Grote touched their glasses, indicating that the deal was reached.

Just when Grote was about to find another partner to dance, suddenly, the alarm of the base sounded.

Everyone who heard the alarm immediately showed their usual well-trained appearance.

The heads of various departments all left the ball quickly to understand the situation and take charge.

The remaining officers also began to run to their posts.

The women in the venue also left the venue in an orderly manner under the arrangement of some officers. They were arranged to take shelter in the safe house in the base.

Soon a messenger came to Grote and reported:

"Report to the commander, the patrol ship found a group of warships rushing towards the base more than ten miles away."

In fact, it was pure luck that the Gran City Navy found these warships.

In order to let Ryan help him test the mecha two days ago, Manolin gave Ryan a lot of practical gadgets.

For example, there are several night vision telescopes transformed from combat goggles that can see at night.

Ryan gave these novel gadgets to his grandchildren.

Coincidentally, one of the officers on duty on the training ship today happened to be a good friend of Ryan's grandson.

And this officer borrowed a night vision telescope from Ryan's grandson to play with.

This play made him discover the fleet that was sailing silently.
