Chapter 307 Platform Progress
At the Inaichi Shrine, a snow-white Samoyed was constantly killing something in the void, occasionally opening its mouth and uttering strange syllables, and occasionally moving its claws up and down.
After working for a long time, it lay on the ground panting with its tongue hanging out, looking listless, and in front of it was a silver ornament.
Wang Yi looked at the grass-headed god that was barely captured and sealed in the silver ornament, and nodded in approval.
"Good, you can get to work. Practice makes perfect. Once we catch all the grass-headed gods in Japan, I'll find a way to make you a better body."
Wang Yi's words made the Samoyed roll his eyes like a husky, and then he spoke in human language.
"Master, please let me go. I can repay you in other ways~"
Not to mention, her voice is quite charming, worthy of being a 'fox spirit' under the subtle influence of her will.
Tamamonomae's own strength completely crushes the Grass-headed God, but if Wang Yi wanted to simply kill him, any of his enhanced vengeful spirit employees could do it, so killing him was not what Wang Yi wanted.
This comparison is actually the difference in control between pinching an ant to death and knocking it unconscious. Only something at Tamamonomae's level can barely do this.
Even Hideaki, the Yin-Yang master, mainly performs exorcisms.
In this case, Wang Yi would of course maximize Tamamonomae's value.
Perhaps the fox's return of favor would cause some unusual ripples, but Wang Yi is not a sex-hungry ghost, and his choices when it comes to important matters are still clear.
"After we capture the Grass-Headed God, there will be plenty of time for you to repay me. I will go find you a helper. Do you know anything about the Yamata no Orochi?"
Xiuming already has a possessed body, and Wang Yi arranges him to follow the serial killer together with Yuriko.
"I haven't found out, but it should be similar. The great Onmyoji who sealed me often mentioned that guy in sync."
"That's good. I'll go find help for you. You can catch the grass-headed god here. The dog license has been obtained. Be careful and maintain the image of a pet dog in front of others. I'll let Xiao Youzi take you for a walk on time..."
Wang Yi patted the dog's head and gave some instructions. Little Youzi, also known as Youluo, was a well-behaved person and could be considered a half-son in terms of relationship. It would be no problem to let him take care of Tamamonomae.
Anyway, I just took this Samoa to travel to all the shrines in Japan.
Even for this purpose, Youluo applied for a TT account, ready to make some extra money.
Wang Yi did not correct him as this was a habit he had developed over a long period of time.
It's actually quite interesting...
There are many restrictions on dog ownership in Neon, and abandonment may even lead to arrest, so Yuura's cooperation with Tamamonomae is a very important action.
As for the noise caused when capturing the Grass-Headed God, there is no need to worry too much.
After all, this Samoyed was an excellent possessed body that Wang Yi had spent a long time selecting. With Tamamonomae's abilities and some silver pendants he gave her, there was no need to worry about it being captured by others.
After the Yemen incident, the problems between Umbrella and Da Piaoliang began to emerge, and some things had to be accelerated...
…
Gallia Atlantique Shipyard is the largest existing shipyard in Europe and one of the few top shipyards capable of building LNG tankers.
Today, the global shipbuilding capacity is mainly concentrated in the East Asian triangle, but as a veteran European shipbuilder, its own technology cannot be ignored.
But compared with the prices in East Asia, the prices here are a bit expensive and not competitive enough.
Thanks to some local orders, life is not bad.
Umbrella also has a customized offshore platform here.
In addition to the current Umbrella order, many renovation orders from the Norwegian shipping giant Zoll Shipyard are also being carried out here.
The Norwegian shipping magnate is worth tens of billions of US dollars and is one of the top players in the global shipping industry. He also has strong resources and connections.
When Umbrella approached the Gallic Atlantic Shipyard, they insisted that the production capacity was insufficient and asked for additional money. However, when the Norwegian shipping giant needed modifications, they were still able to pay for it steadily, which was enough to show that they still had sufficient production capacity.
In fact, this is also their traditional skill. For capital, reducing the output of some goods can often increase profits.
Even artificially destroying some products can help stabilize prices.
It can make your life easier and you can earn more money, so why not do it?
The hard labor was naturally given to the peasants; the noble Gauls would never do such a thing as selling their labor.
"The great intelligence department, have you found almost all the blueprints? Although they are still missing some from the Eastern power, it seems that Umbrella is going to build a city on the sea! Unbelievable! What kind of handicraft is this?!"
The Gallic engineers looked at the drawings of some offshore platforms with expressions of amazement on their faces.
In fact, the construction technology of offshore platforms is now quite mature.
The ocean-going offshore suspended drilling platform is capable of drilling and mining in waters more than three thousand meters deep!
The platform relies on an anchoring system to ensure that it remains stable and barely moves at sea even during typhoons.
It can be said that in theory, the basic technology tree for building this kind of maritime city can be clicked on.
Just what's the point?
It has extremely poor maneuverability and is a complete target at sea. It consumes huge amounts of money, time and energy, but cannot find a suitable use for it. No one is willing to do this kind of business at a loss.
But it is undeniable that by piecing together the various drawings provided by Umbrella, it is highly likely that it is feasible, and the structures above the platform can be inlaid and coordinated with each other .
If combined with some floating docks and the transportation of some mechanical equipment, it may even be possible to build and dock ships.
With so much tonnage combined to form a sea city, and with some soilless planting, it is possible to achieve self-sufficiency with a high probability!
But without resources, minerals, corresponding industrial and logistics chains, is it tourism if you build such an isolated city like this?
I can't see where the benefit is at all.
Integrated maritime military platform?
Don't be funny, this super poor mobility makes it a complete target.
Although we have the ability to build cargo ships of hundreds of thousands of tons, we only choose this tonnage for aircraft carriers to ensure that they still have superb maneuverability.
If you really want to build a shipyard or something, there are actually plenty of vacant space along the coast, and it's much simpler than this.
But then again, there has never been a force like Umbrella that has both spare money and capabilities.
Those who are capable do not need it, and those who are incapable cannot create it...
It is precisely because of the layers of evaluation that the construction process of Umbrella orders has been very smooth.
Some of the Norwegian shipping king's ships only need to be modified, so their speed is much faster than those that were newly built.
In addition to the Gaul Atlantique Shipyard, almost all the old shipyards in Europe have received orders for this modification.
With the construction started simultaneously, the progress is quite encouraging.
Some oil drilling platforms have been completely renovated, with a number of robotic arms and what should be connecting devices added.
From its original purpose of oil drilling, it has changed to a strange engineering purpose.
But the appearance is surprisingly pleasing to the eye.
"The Norwegian shipping king is almost done with this batch. Let's urge him to pay the balance."
"Well, actually, I am looking forward to being able to assemble something after Umbrella's things are finished. This is definitely a miracle in human industry. Although it is useless, I guess it will be impossible to move it after it is assembled..."
As the modification work is completed one after another, many platforms and cargo ships under the Norwegian shipping king have met the relevant requirements.
After calculating the bill, the shipping magnate found that not only had he made up for all his previous losses, but he had even made a small profit. This naturally made him very satisfied.
"Umbrella's cash flow is impeccable. Currently, there are too many profit points. It's like printing money. I think they will agree if the price is higher."
The Norwegian shipping magnate leaned back on the sofa and began to think again.
He has good connections in the shipyards in Europe and can find out the prices of Umbrella's customized ships.
In order to make them work overtime, we directly pay a premium and make them work in shifts 24 hours a day!
It goes without saying how high the labor costs in Europe are, but Umbrella just keeps throwing money at it, forcing the Gaul Atlantic Shipyard to bow its head.
In comparison, it is really no problem for me to ask for a higher price for my ready-made modified boat!
"That's right. Umbrella's previous actions in Yemen offended Da Piaoliang. Now they are probably anxious to get all their goods out first, otherwise they might be sanctioned by Da Piaoliang."
Hearing the words of his staff, the Norwegian shipping king's eyes lit up.
"Yes, can we delay until the sanctions come, and then justifiably raise the price before the sanctions come?"
There is usually a starting time for Da Piaoliang to impose sanctions, and he felt that he could delay it.
"But the modification is almost finished, and they are asking for the final payment. I'm afraid I can't afford to delay the payment due to the current funds in the account..."
Hearing this, the Norwegian shipping king couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"What a pity . Let's just be a little considerate and raise the price by 10%. That should be pretty stable. Also, let them transfer the balance to us..."
