Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 381: 136. Human-shaped “machine” _5

Translator: 549690339

The squad leader of the patrol team is an Imperial Lieutenant!

If squad leaders are of the rank of Lieutenant, how many Lieutenants could there be on the entire ship?

Noland Lee’s eyebrows twitched, and a sense of astonishment suddenly rose in his heart.

Could it just be a coincidence? Maybe the Lieutenant he saw just now was in charge of the patrol work, which was why he had the strength of a Lieutenant.

Noland Lee patiently waited for five minutes and saw the second patrol team pass by the window.

This was another patrol team, completely different from the previous one in terms of their appearance.

Noland Lee threw a Deconstruction Technique at the squad leader of this patrol team.

[System Message:]

[You are about to use the Deconstruction Technique on “Unknown Imperial Ensign.”]

Another Lieutenant… Noland Lee’s heart sank a little.

The defensive strength of this ship might be beyond imagination.

In the urgent secret letter, the Military Intelligence Section 6 of Union City wrote a line:

Please urgently transport six shipping units of Life Elixir.

As for what “six shipping units” represents in terms of the number of Life Elixirs, Noland Lee was not clear. The secret codes he found did not specify.

What exactly the Empire’s Military Intelligence Section 6 shipped, Noland Lee and Union City’s Section 6 could only find out once they boarded the ship.

Or should I try to deconstruct the entire cargo ship?… Noland Lee raised his eyebrows, adjusted his Magic Vision to face the cargo ship, and cast the Deconstruction Technique at the ship’s hull.

[System Message:]

[You are about to use the Deconstruction Technique on the “Modified Federation Cargo Ship.”]

[Estimated to consume 60,000 Energy Points, which can make the degree of deconstruction reach 100%]

[Warning!]

[After a system check, deconstructing this vehicle will have a negative impact on you!]

[The system suggests using Harmless Deconstruction to deconstruct this vehicle.]

Are you serious? System?

Noland Lee looked at the cargo ship and was a little stunned, slightly dumbfounded.

Using the conventional method to deconstruct a cargo ship would actually have a negative impact on him?!Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Could it be that the ship is carrying something like Cthulhu?

Noland Lee stared at the third patrol squad.

He cast the Deconstruction Technique at the squad leader and without hesitation consumed 1,000 energy points to deconstruct the other party.

Without waiting for him to carefully examine the results of the deconstruction, Derek’s voice interrupted his thoughts.

“How is the observation going?”

In the captain’s quarters with the lights turned off, the exploration team members were observing the cargo ship with telescopes. Miss Esme Smith was holding seawater in her hand and was communicating with a palm-sized fish.

The most relaxed people on the scene were Noland Lee, Derek, and the members of Derek’s Golden Merchant’s Sword.

Derek saw the solemn expressions on the faces of the exploration team members and realized that something was wrong, so he couldn’t help but ask.

Noland Lee came back to his senses after hearing Derek’s voice and looked at the frowning investigation team members.

The leader of the exploration team was called Hudson.

He was a tall, dark, and thin man with a face full of traces from the wind and the sun.

As Hudson contemplated under the inquiries of Noland Lee and Derek, he answered:

“Oh, the situation? The situation is not good, mate. The observation target you found for us is very unusual, more cunning than well-trained and bloodthirsty fallen sea people. The last time I encountered such a cunning opponent at sea was…”

“Ahem, Hudson, don’t go off-topic.” Derek coughed a few times to remind.

“Right, right, the main business matters.” Hudson held up the telescope with his left hand and pointed to the cargo ship’s outer metal plate with his right hand:

“Look there, mates, look at the waterline of this ship. The seawater is almost covering the metal plate painted with dark red paint. This shows that the goods on this ship are very, very heavy. The cargo capacity of this ship is 20,000 tons. If they removed some equipment from the ship, the cargo capacity could be increased further. In fact, they did remove some things, which is why the waterline is so deep.”

Hudson gestured in the air and pointed at several places:

“Take a closer look at the open-air toilet, the pipes that discharge coal slag, and the chimney that emits coal gas. Did you find anything unusual?”

Hudson gestured with his hands, performing several actions for operating ship equipment in succession:

“The area near the open-air toilet is filled with sails and ropes for securing the sails. These two things should be placed in the sail room on the middle deck. Their appearance near the open-air toilet might be because the sail room is occupied. Look at the pipes for discharging furnace slag and the smoking chimneys; both have been closed. The ship is not burning coal, which also means losing an important source of heat. This is on the cold and wet sea. If I were a crew member on that ship, I would be annoyed by the captain’s stinginess with coal.”

Hudson slapped his palm:

“The strangest part is coming, mates. Where is the power of this ship coming from when the sail is not raised and the coal is not burnt? It’s still moving forward!… I heard that Tatis has come up with some sort of fuel. It is lighter than coal and hardly produces any smoke or solid waste when burned. But I forgot what it was called.”

“Biofuel?” Noland Lee interjected.

Hudson waved his arm and laughed enthusiastically:

“Ah yes! That’s what it’s called~ Mate, I knew you were extraordinary the moment you boarded the ship. The fuel I was talking about was biofuel. The coal storage, burning chamber, and sail room on that cargo ship must have been modified. The entire middle and lower decks have been cleared for the biofuel-powered device and more cargo. That’s why it can sail continuously without raising sails or burning coal while carrying such a heavy load. That’s how it is.”
