Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 768 - 730: Foresight

Chapter 768 -730: Foresight

Regarding the shipyard project, the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce was naturally entirely willing. Firstly, this would deepen the cooperation with Rocky, and secondly, once Rocky had built the shipyard, he would definitely need the technical support of the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce. This mutual enhancement of technological capabilities would allow Rocky to acquire the technology for designing and manufacturing warships while the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce would gain more Rune Technology, resulting in a win-win outcome.

Thus, when Rocky expressed his intention, Archimonde immediately reported the matter to the Chamber of Commerce, and soon after Pansen decided to fully support Rocky’s factory construction. Not only that, but he also dispatched a large number of experienced technicians to Thunderhawk City. These technicians were to train Rocky’s selected personnel during the shipyard construction so that they could commence work immediately once the shipyard was completed.

Knowing that the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce was so proactive, Rocky also immediately took action, selecting a group of experienced core staff within the arsenal and arranging for Voss to recruit workers in Carltos City.

Upon receiving Rocky’s order, although Voss was somewhat prepared, he was still quite surprised. He hadn’t expected Rocky to settle the matter so quickly. Building a factory, especially a large shipyard, was not something that could be accomplished just by talking about it—such a major project required extensive preparation even with sufficient funds. Yet, Rocky had managed to complete everything within a few days, a speed that Voss found unbelievable.

Clearly, Voss had been in Carltos City for too long and had obviously underestimated the development speed of Thunderhawk City. Upon closer calculation, Thunderhawk City had already built several new factories, including leather manufacturing and two successive arsenals, besides expanding the city itself. These engineering projects, each more massive than the last, had given Thunderhawk City substantial construction experience. Some residents even made their living from it. Coupled with the unmatched enthusiasm of the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce, it was natural for the project to be completed so quickly.

With this matter well-arranged, concerning the city development, Rocky did not need to worry too much anymore. Aileen would be responsible for negotiations with the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, and Old Jack would handle the factory construction, essentially freeing Rocky from these concerns.

Thus, following this, Rocky dived headfirst into the research institute.

During the days he handled administrative tasks, all kinds of tests involving the Beastmen were completed. To gather data, hundreds of Fireteng Tribe Orcs participated in testing during these days, including warriors chosen by He Nan, ordinary tribe members, and even Female Beastmen. Thus, this data was extremely valuable. After receiving it, Rocky quickly applied it to the design of the New Armor.

It must be said that Beastmen indeed possess a unique advantage in combat strength, clearly reflected in the data. After conducting uniform tests on hundreds of Beastmen, Rocky found that the average strength of a Beastman was three times that of a human, their speed twice, and their stamina five times greater. Such formidable data indeed justified why Beastmen were known as a warrior race.

Of course, the data Rocky had obtained belonged to the Beastmen, specifically the Fireteng Tribe’s Beastmen. As the Forsaken People, these Orcs had been battling Demons almost from birth. This included not just the warriors but ordinary members of the tribe too. What’s more, this scenario had prevailed for generations in the Fireteng Tribe, possibly even altering their genetic makeup. It was no exaggeration to say that the combat capabilities of these Orcs were not just superior to humans but also notably stronger than those of other Beastmen.

It was precisely because of this, Rocky had to be even more cautious in designing the Armor. If the new Armor failed to fully account for the robust physical qualities of the Beastmen, it would be no different from the common Armor available on the market, which was not Rocky’s intention. However, ensuring a perfect integration of the Beastmen’s robust physical qualities with the Armor posed a significant challenge for Rocky, as he had never designed such Armor before.

Having obtained the Beastmen’s test data, Rocky went to find Pelaya, who was most authoritative on this matter.

“I think we can enhance the overall output of the new Armor since the Beastmen’s physical qualities are so strong that they can do what human Void Magic Warriors cannot,” said Pelaya, holding a thick stack of data.

“Are you saying… Monte and Dusa’s Armor?” asked Rocky, immediately understanding her implication upon her mention.

“Exactly,” Pelaya nodded. “Monte and Dusa’s Armor, in a sense, are already specialized for Beastmen. In designing these two types of Armor, Hammerfire fully considered their physical qualities. It’s precisely because of this consideration that Dusa’s Armor has such strong maneuverability, and Monte’s Armor can achieve extreme firepower output.”

“Indeed…”

As Pelaya finished speaking, Rocky nodded, thinking over it and realizing that it was indeed the case.

As is well known, the strongest aspect of Dusa’s Armor is its maneuverability, almost comparable to that of the White Demon. However, one shouldn’t assume that just anyone wearing Dusa’s Armor could achieve such high maneuverability. In fact, other than Dusa, no one else could reach such a level of agility with the same Armor. The reason lies in the technology used by Hammerfire in designing Dusa’s Armor, which is fundamentally different from that used for the White Demon and only manageable by a Beastman.

A similar situation was evident with Monte’s Armor, more directly observable, for instance, in the single-handed Magic Energy Cannon on the Armor.

Since Monte had lost his left hand, Hammerfire had modified the left arm of the Armor into a Magic Energy Cannon, specifically designed for Monte because only a Beastman like him could withstand the enormous recoil produced by the cannon’s firing without getting injured. If a human Void Magic Warrior were to use this single-handed Magic Energy Cannon, their arm would be shattered after firing a single shot.

These two designs by Hammerfire unquestionably aligned with Rocky’s thinking and even helped him identify a direction. Thus, thereafter, Rocky immediately went to Hammerfire’s laboratory, and after a series of curses, he obtained the design drawings of Dusa and Monte’s Armor. He then proceeded to thoroughly study these two types of Armor.
