Voyage Log of the Airship

With his exceptionally professional and forward-thinking mechanical expertise, Tuster outlined his vision for the future mechanical development of "Black Dragon City," and then planned two mechanical departments.

The department responsible for city construction was the Urban Construction Machinery Department.

The department in charge of war machines includes the War Machines Division, the workshop that began manufacturing individual mechs, and the artillery and firearms workshops.

For a long time, only the old man's voice could be heard in the meeting room.

The group of people in the seats looked like students in a school, listening attentively to their teacher's lesson. Whether it was Rein, Ymir, or various big shots, each of them had a serious and earnest expression.

Everyone was stunned, especially when Tuster took out his design for the "Black Dragon City Flying Mechanical City".

Originally, everyone thought it would be similar in design to this wreckage, but the old man came up with a unique Mechanical City design that was completely unexpected.

"I've examined this Steam Airship wreckage carefully. With such a broken main structure, even if it were repaired, it would be extremely unstable. Even if it could fly again, the risk of crashing would be high. Therefore, I don't plan to repair it. Instead, I will use the existing materials from the Steam Airship wreckage to transform it into a completely new airship with a different design! Moreover, I am confident that it will be faster and more agile than its current structure!"

Tuster's words carried a kind of domineering confidence.

His professional opinion was recognized by everyone, and naturally no one questioned it.

Laymen who don't understand mechanics may not understand how ingenious those mechanical designs, power systems, weapons, and defense devices are, but a Mechanical Grandmaster like Pierre would be immediately amazed when he sees the blueprints.

Before seeing the blueprints, he thought his idea was worth a try. But after seeing the blueprints, he realized he was just a novice mechanical apprentice in front of Tuster.

Putting aside the hardware gap in technology, the "crazy" design concept on this blueprint is something he can only dream of. No, it's a level that even the three "Grandmaster" of the Royal Academy couldn't reach—it's a height that transcends its time!

Rein didn't understand the details of the Mechanical City's manufacturing process, but he roughly understood what was going on.

The construction of the Mechanical City in "Black Dragon City" is currently being carried out in two phases.

The first step is the current fixed Mechanical City.

They didn't expect the Mechanical City to move; they continued to build high walls and produce powerful cannons to ensure they could maintain a foothold in the "Karatva Basin."

The second step is to build a conventional Mechanical City base within the city walls, allowing the city to move on the ground in the future.

But in reality, there is a hidden third step: inside the Mechanical City, there is a secret space similar to a "dock".

That "Flying Mechanical City" will be secretly built inside the Mechanical City!

Fortunately Ymir brought a large number of mechanical craftsmen with him to build the territory.

Otherwise, even with a top-notch mechanic like Mr. Tuster around, he could only look on helplessly at the mechanical wreckage.

The meeting lasted for most of the day, bringing together most of the problems currently facing the territory for discussion and resolution.

The biggest problem before was the conflict between the two groups of people.

Today's meeting established the system for Black Dragon City, and after Rein was elected as the city lord, the conflict seemed to fade away instantly.

The Kolman people no longer harbors the same xenophobic feelings towards the Princess as before.

Rein was one of the Kolman Tribe's own people; from the Great Shaman Mafat down to the warriors, everyone trusted him.

Now that people in Omar's faction know that Rein is Ymir's man, they no longer feel the same sense of rejection as "outsiders trying to seize power".

Moreover, abolishing the nobility system went quite smoothly, since those who came with Ymir to this remote and impoverished area to establish a new city were not high-ranking nobles (except for those around Ymir). They were either impoverished minor nobles or commoners, so the difference was not significant to begin with.

Now that everyone has the same equal rights, it hasn't caused any major upheavals.

If someone were to declare the abolition of the aristocratic class system in Omar, or in any other private territory, they would likely be met with immediate uproar and rebellion from the nobles.

Once the two factions reached an agreement, their efficiency in getting things done became extremely high.

Agriculture, mineral exploration, colleges, hospitals, factories. In addition to infrastructure, opera houses, pubs, and bathhouses, which provide residents with spiritual and cultural enjoyment, have also been put on the agenda.

Almost every proposal was approved instantly. The division of labor was clear, with professionals doing professional work and both sides cooperating very well.

Rein also put forward some suggestions for systems that were already well-established in the previous life, such as "social security" and "military rank system".

Whether it will succeed or not is a matter for the Ministry of the Interior to worry about.

After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways.

Only three people remained in the room: Rein, Ymir, and the Great Shaman Mafat.

The two sides have their supreme leaders, and there is also a middleman.

After the meeting, Ymir breathed a sigh of relief.

When she had some free time, she was able to think about other things, and today's meeting went much more smoothly than she had imagined.

This was unimaginable until last night.

Ymir had to admit that the advice Mrs. Canossa from the "Black Gold Merchant Guild" had given her yesterday was extremely effective.

Although he felt the strange looks from his subordinates early in the morning, he still managed to take a big step forward in the development of the territory.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye, and her expression became somewhat complicated.

Until last night, even though Ymir tried every possible way to ease the conflict between the two sides, he couldn't find a way to do so.

There was a language barrier; none of the people on Omar's side spoke Coleman Language. On Kolman's side, a few spoke Common Tongue, but aside from necessary conversations, they had little interest in exchanging ideas and remained wary of outsiders.

The integration of two civilizations, especially with such vast differences, cannot be resolved in a few years or a few words; this first step has been incredibly difficult.

But when Rein arrived, the situation changed instantly.

She felt she had grown somewhat accustomed to the feeling of her "peaceful state of mind being brutally trampled upon." Every time this man appeared, he brought her immense joy.

It not only easily resolved the integration conflicts,

Ymir was well aware that without Rein, Mr. Tuster would never have served the territory, and she would never have known that such a powerful Mechanical Master was hidden within the territory; and without Rein, Dr. Ilubeck would never have produced the [Dragon Blood Warrior] and the [Super Purity Potion].

Thinking of this, her expression changed slightly.

Ilubeck watched her grow up; he was a kind elder to her. Some things might not be appropriate for others to say, but the words of an elder should always be carefully considered.

Slightly distracted, Ymir frowned slightly as her thoughts drifted away.

Just then, someone suddenly called out in her ear, "Your Ymir."

Her focus returned to her eyes, Ymir looked at Rein, who was staring at her, and said apologetically, "I apologize, Lord Rein, I was thinking about the development of the territory and my mind wandered a bit."

Upon hearing the address, Rein's eyelids twitched. "Your Ymir, please just call me by my name, or Doctor Rein. Otherwise, it sounds strange."

"Um."

Ymir smiled slightly, said nothing more, and then asked, "Dr. Rein, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Yes."

Rein nodded, then took out a Storage Ring and took out the items inside one by one, filling almost half a room.

Most of them consist of documents, materials, and small items.

As he held it up, he said, "These are things the Kolman Warrior found in the captain's cabin when they first discovered the Airship Wreckage. They gave them to me, and I didn't even have a chance to inventory what was inside. Now that we're allies, I think we need to share these things."

The Tuster grandfather and grandson, along with the Kolman people, found the mechanical wreckage earlier than the people of Ymir, so they also helped Rein loot the wreckage beforehand.

Because they thought it was Rein's personal property, the Kolman people didn't examine it closely.

Before this, no one knew exactly what was inside.

Rein himself hadn't even looked at it, but now he's taken it out in front of Mafat and Ymir.

Ymir glanced at Rein, said nothing, and nodded.

Mutual trust between the two is the foundation for cooperation.

The most important spoils on this airship were naturally the items in the captain's cabin.

Rein and Ymir began to inventory the items. Although Mafat had no interest in treasures, he picked up the documents with interest and looked at them.

Unfortunately, the documents I saw were all written in an unfamiliar script, clearly not Common Tongue.

As Rein scanned the documents, the Mind Core issued a notification.

[Ding! Text recording detected; system automatically recognizes and records text.]

Hearing the prompt, he looked at them carefully, examining each one before categorizing them and placing them on the other side.

If enough textual material is found, the system might be able to decipher it on the spot.

Ymir couldn't read the text and wasn't interested in the documents, so he thought of looking for something special.

Then she found several thick notebooks from that pile of documents.

After flipping through it, she exclaimed softly, "This is the airship's [Voyage Log]!"

Hearing the sound, Rein also went over.

The notes were slightly messy, like they were written by a left-handed person, with the pen strokes all leaning to one side, but they were still unfamiliar characters that were hard to understand.

But the rough map drawn in the notebook drew the attention of all three of them.

"This is their flight path after entering the Ice Ridge Wasteland!"

Rein was slightly surprised because the Mind Core had already collected most of the maps of the two empires. Now, looking at the flight path map, he immediately matched the airship's trajectory with the map.

"This airship traversed the entire Omar region, traveling over 100,000 kilometers, coming from the east to this area west of the Alkolon Mountain Range?"

Rein's eyes lit up. The Voyage Log in Ymir's hand showed the route after entering the fog, which meant that the other logbooks might show the airship's route Beyond the Mist.

Perhaps they can find a way out of the fog?
