After shutting down the weapons R&D and manufacturing department, the stock of Stark Industries plummeted for a period of time. If Stark hadn't taken out the small Ark reactor in time, it would have opened a breakthrough on the road of 'development of clean energy'. There's a really good chance that Stark Group will suffer a major blow.

It is true that as a large-scale crossover group, Stark Industries is very large and will not collapse easily because of a little thing, but don’t forget, the bigger the company, the stronger its competitors will be.

If Stark Industries, which fell into a weak state at the time, did not launch the related technologies of 'new energy' in time, would the consortiums that swarmed after smelling the blood, would they have spared such a large piece of fat?

It's really not an alarmist. To tell the truth, if Stark hadn't launched a new project to turn the tide, Stark Industries might have completely collapsed.

"Tony..." After hesitating for a moment, Shi Xiaolei finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree to be so straightforward?"

"Ok?"

"I mean, isn't that stuff from the Ark reactor never allowed to flow out? Although we are good friends and are closer than others, but... I didn't even explain its purpose, so you're not worried at all?"

"If it's someone else, see if I agree." Raising his eyebrows, Stark skillfully took a crunchy cucumber with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although Yixian's dishes are delicious, they cannot change the characteristics of the food itself.

Even after eating more than a dozen mouthfuls of meat, even Stark, who doesn't like meat, can't bear it a little bit, and he is tired of wanting to eat some refreshing Xiejie.

Chewing cucumbers, Stark shrugged and said his thoughts: "You have to get so many benefits from you, you have to get something in return. I don't like taking advantage of friends for nothing. people."

Because of Stark's words, Shi Xiaolei suddenly woke up.

Isn't that right~! From the various potions in "Diablo 2", to those ancient biological gene samples and Tektronix technology products in "Ark: Survival Evolved", to the rebirth badge drawn from "Warcraft 3C"... Since I got acquainted After Tony Stark, he has shared a lot of good things with him.

Some are physical samples that can deduce a series of technologies that bring new profit points to Stark Industries, and some are treasures that can bring benefits to Stark himself. Although he still has some things hidden in his hand and has not disclosed it to Stark, it is undeniable that the value of these things that have been shared with him now exceeds that of the Ark reactor in Stark's hands.

'Why didn't I realize this? ' After thinking for a moment, Shi Xiaolei cleared the fog in his heart and found an explanation for himself - it must be because these things came too easily, so he subconsciously ignored their true value, and then he focused on the original story of the tower. Grudd is so precious about his reactor technology...

"What are you thinking? Wouldn't it be too touching?"

"Uh." Returning to his senses, looking at Stark with a teasing face in front of him, Shi Xiaolei put away the thoughts in his mind and returned to his usual attitude: "Just you? Come on, you are not a beauty."

"That's good, I'm afraid that you are too moved and want to promise you." Stark smiled condescendingly: "If it's beautiful, then I can accept it, a strong man like you, tsk tsk, it's still considered. Right."

"Go away~."

................

After a few words, he obtained a few Ark reactors from Stark, and the whole process was extremely easy.

However, having a reactor does not mean that Shi Xiaolei can immediately start the construction machine brought by Yixian and summon the second ship girl.

It's not because Shi Xiaolei is procrastinating or has other considerations, so he plans to try again after a while, but because he has not been able to meet all the conditions needed to summon the ship's mother.

Some people may be curious. It doesn't mean that the summoned objects are those who have already signed a contract. There is no need to invest in the four resources of oil, bullets, steel, and aluminum as when they were newly built. As long as they have sufficient energy, and with the token brought by Yixian, they can be designated. Have you summoned the corresponding ship girl?

That's right, just looking at this one, it's already well-prepared.

What's worse now is the venue.

Even in the game, you have to occupy a space in the dock to build a new ship girl.

Why is it the dock instead of any vacant room? This is because in the construction of the ship girl, there is a crucial step - after the goblins identify and identify the ship type in the construction drawings, they will build a one-to-one virtual model in the dock. In one sense, it's pretty much the equivalent of keywords you type on a search engine's homepage. In other words, the construction machine must scan the model in order to accurately search for the information of the corresponding ship girl, and finally summon them from the endless void.

First there is the virtual model, then the ship girl in the form of a battleship is summoned, and finally, the battleship is transformed into a human form.

It is impossible to build a battleship out of thin air~lightnovelpub.net~ The four resources of oil, bullets, steel and aluminum are the necessary consumables when summoning a battleship-shaped ship girl. Because the targets Shi Xiaolei wanted to summon were those ships in the port area who had already built and signed contracts, and they all already had entities, so this consumption could be omitted.

However, not having to rebuild, does not mean that the step of 'transforming from battleship form to at least female form' can be omitted.

The construction machine is a dead thing, every step is set, there is no way to skip any of them.

To put it simply, after the girls receive the signal, they must unfold their ship outfits to transform into battleships, and then they can be pulled over by the construction machine without any mistakes. interference from some unstable factors.

If there is interference, what will be the result? It is no exaggeration to say that the virtue of Cthulhuhua becoming a deep sea is good, serious, and may even be directly killed.

It's not an extremely urgent juncture. The ship girls are in urgent need of combat support, even if they sacrifice.

Shi Xiaolei would not call the ship girls at the risk of injury or death. After all, they are no longer cold data. At this moment, they have left the game and become a fresh life.

'It's just a matter of waiting a while longer. ' Putting the small reactors that Stark sent Hapi back into the backpack, Shi Xiaolei got up and took his laptop and opened the electronic map: "Dock, Dock, let me see, where is the best place to build a dock. …”
