Chapter 482 Perfect Disguise
After studying starship command for three years, I managed to get a big weapon like red matter. Although it took me a long time to go to Star Trek, I was rewarded and the time was not wasted.
After returning to Cold Winter City, Tony and Bruce immediately used the potion prepared in advance to restore their previous appearance.
James didn't drink the potion again. He wasn't very old in the first place. After three years in Starfleet Academy, his appearance was only slightly younger than before drinking the potion.
It doesn't look much different, so it won't be unrecognizable.
Tony is different from Bruce. Everyone is used to the way they were before, even themselves.
Edkin returned to his original "state" when he returned to Winter City. James Kirk was only a part of his life, and he would not completely become a Another person.
He is still Edkin, but he has just experienced a rather strange adventure.
"So you don't have to worry, Kira has become your own daughter who has no blood relationship with you."
"..."
Edkin was speechless, he hadn't worried about this at all.
However, after successfully returning to Cold Winter City, it means that his mission has been successfully completed, his sins are all paid off, and his daughter will no longer be subject to any restrictions and gain real freedom.
Although the crimes of my partners have to be repaid slowly, but if Edkin's share is removed, the time for others to serve their sentences will be reduced a lot.
"Next, there should be nothing for me, right?"
"No, I still have some things to talk to you alone." David stopped Edkin, who was about to leave, and asked him to wait for a while, and explain some things to Tony, Bruce, James and others.
After Tony and Bruce regained their appearance, they were ready to leave.
Tony is going to study the red substance. In addition to wanting to copy this substance, he must also carefully consider how to use this dangerous thing in order to maximize its function.
"Such a dangerous thing, you'd better not study it in Winter City."
"Don't worry, I will study this thing in a small plane specially opened up."
"When did you create a small plane?" David knew that many mages knew how to open up a separate small plane, which was closely connected with the present world, but did not belong to the same world.
Such a small world will have various characteristics according to the needs of mages, such as different time flow rates, more abundant arcane energy, and so on.
The mage conducts research in it, which can effectively avoid accidents—run away directly in an emergency, and cut off the connection between the small world and the real world, even if it blows up, it will not hurt itself.
However, it seems that Tony has not been learning magic knowledge for a long time, so he can do it to this extent?
Seems to have seen through David's doubts, and Tony didn't have the idea of pretending to be a boss, so he simply explained: "Jianna and Steve helped me get it."
"oh!"
David understood when he said this, and he could even guess how Tony mobilized those two people to help: You don’t want me to accidentally blow up Winter City when I was doing research, right?
After confirming that there would be no accidents, David let Tony toss around.
As for what kind of space battleship in Winter City should be created? Or who will make it, just leave this matter to the Cybertron Technology Research Center.
Have previous experience in helping Megatron to manufacture space carriers, plus there is no lack of technical information on space battleships in Cybertron technology; David also obtained the information on the battleships of Macross from LAI.
Coupled with the information collected from the Marvel universe, the Kryptonian spacecraft and the technical knowledge stored inside, and the technical information of the Star Trek world, Winter City has already accumulated quite a lot of technology. What they have to do is to effectively Use these technologies to design a space battleship that is in line with the status quo of Winter City and is powerful enough.
Although the new space battleship has not even prepared the paper for the blueprint and created a new folder, David has already begun to think about what the new spaceship should be called?
Civilization level? The Brennia? Cybertron? Globe?
Group stars? Gemini? Sirius? Andromeda?
Multiverse level? Azeroth? Marvel? Tomb Raider?
Through a few thoughts in my mind, watching Tony, Bruce, and James leave one after another, David decided to deal with Edkin's affairs first.
"The task is successfully completed, and your sentence is also over." David notified Eva by the way, and asked her to handle all the relevant procedures: "What are your plans next?"
Edkin was not surprised that David stopped himself and asked these words.
I have learned interstellar command, and I happen to be the most lacking starship captain in Winter City. As a king, David is impossible to watch him leave.
"To be honest, because this mission is too sudden, although I have been there for many years, I have never seriously thought about what to do next?"
Edkin lied, in fact, he thought about this problem more than once.
He thought about returning to Faerun Continent and living the original free life.
Although she is a little poor, she has no constraints. After leaving the harp player, the only responsibility she has to shoulder is to take good care of her daughter.
However, I had a good time in Winter City, and I have learned a lot of knowledge at Winter Academy. Kira, who has adapted to the comfortable life here, should not want to return to Faerun Continent, right?
In addition, his partner has not yet regained his freedom, so he has to help his partner solve his problems before deciding whether to return to Faerun Continent.
"It is not difficult for your companions to regain their freedom as soon as possible."
There are many good things in Faerun Continent, but it doesn't mean that David has to collect all those things in his hands, and it doesn't matter if he can't get them.
These partners of Edkin can use other methods to "redeem".
For example, go to the continent of Yaneira to help Laura, or like Edkin, go to other worlds to complete the tasks assigned by David.
There is also a more direct plan. Working in the city of Winter is considered to be serving a sentence in the city.
"In this case, I will thank His Majesty the King on their behalf."
Obviously, this is the preferential treatment and benefits he got because of his performance this time. Edkin doesn't think it's a bad thing that the benefits go to his partners when he is on a mission.
From a certain point of view, these partners are going to serve their sentences in Winter City, and from a certain point of view, they are also self-inflicted.
"As for you...Although I very much hope that you can become the captain of the Winter Kingdom, I don't insist on it. You can do other things if you want."
"I will seriously consider it."
David nodded, indicating that his invitation is long-term, and Edkin can consider it slowly.
Anyway, it takes time for Winter City to build a space battleship, and it takes more time to build a fleet. Even if Edkin is willing to be the captain, there is no spaceship for him to command in a short time.
After watching Edkin leave, David walked to the window and looked out through the glass.
The new Fortress of Winter is the first height in Winter City. David's office and bedroom are also on the higher floors, where he can see farther.
Compared to standing a little higher than before, you can see the edge of Winter City. Now even if you stay in the high-rise of Winter Castle, it is difficult to see the edge of the city clearly.
More and more people came to settle in Winter City, and more and more houses were built. Without building too many apartment-style high-rises, the actual control area of Winter City has been extending to the outside.
This is actually a very headache for government officials.
The area to manage is constantly increasing, which means their workload is always increasing.
Especially after the rescued humans from the Matrix world came to Cold Winter City, their requirements were much more than those of the people who migrated from Brennia.
After guaranteeing the basic necessities of life, these people can always come up with some new tricks, which makes the officials of Winter City stunned.
Some of the requests that officials seemed to be quite 'strange' were directly reported to David.
For this situation, David is not going to personally participate, but asks his officials to find a way by themselves.
As there are more and more people like this, and the lives of the residents of Winter City are getting better and better, there will be more and more similar situations in the future. Government officials must learn how to deal with various problems as soon as possible, otherwise they will die. Those who are unqualified will become the first batch of employees to be eliminated.
From its birth to the present, the number of officials in Winter City has been increasing, and it has been in a state of insufficient supply for a long time. Becoming an official of Winter City is equivalent to getting an iron rice bowl, and some officials have become slack because of this.
"In addition to college graduates, can newcomers be recruited from the private sector?"
Rin Winter City has always recruited officials from the private sector, but at the beginning it was to fill the gap in employment.
This time, David hopes to recruit a group of new people to replace those officials who are not up to standard or who are outright bad.
Newly recruited people may not be more capable than old employees, but firing a group of poor performers can play a stimulating role.
I did it when I thought of it, and was about to tell Wetherby about it when the door of the office opened suddenly, and then a little golden head poked in.
"It's being funny again."
Seeing Sophia's weird face, David beckoned her to come in directly, but it seemed that Sophia seemed to be different.
Just as she was about to think carefully, Sophia closed the office door casually, rushed to her in a few steps, threw herself into her arms, and flicked her lips with her tongue.
So enthusiastic? Could it be that you want to go to which world to play? Give yourself a taste of the sweetness before asking?
There is no need for this at all, right? As long as Sophia asked, David would not refuse at all.
Just two seconds later, David suddenly realized something was wrong: the thing in his arms is not Sophia!
