Chapter 375: Three-Person Workshop

"Shipbuilding? Is it that witch battleship I'm thinking of?"

Senior Miya, who originally just asked out of curiosity, was directly stunned. She couldn't help but stand up excitedly, her hands pressed on the table, her whole body leaning forward, exploring toward the front, her pair of beautiful big eyes staring round at this moment, which was quite cute and silly.

Of course, what shocked the Home Witch the most was the heavy harvest that naturally hung down because of Senior Miya's posture of lying on the table at this moment.

Ah this, what is covering my eyes.

"Mm-hmm, shipbuilding naturally means building witch battleships, what's wrong?"

Dorothy blinked her eyes quickly, saved the beautiful scenery, and then scratched her head, not understanding why Senior Miya was so excited.

"Still asking what's wrong? That's a witch battleship! The highest crystallization of the witch world's war alchemy. How come it sounds so light when it comes out of your mouth, Little Fairy."

Senior Miya was once again shocked by the talent of this treasure beloved of hers.

"But you're not joking with me, right? There is no such thing as a shipbuilding specialty at all. Aren't witch battleships usually team work?"

However, after calming down, the Golden Princess asked somewhat doubtfully.

A witch battleship was the culmination of witch war alchemy. That was not a job that an alchemist could complete alone, but required the concerted efforts of the upstream and downstream of the entire witch alchemy industry chain.

For example, the battleship's power system needed an alchemist specializing in the power field to design and complete it, the battleship's mana furnace needed an alchemist specializing in the energy field to complete it, and the battleship's weapon system also needed...

In short, shipbuilding was not a job that one person could complete at all, unless a Sage came to build the ship personally...

Senior Miya was silent. It seemed that the Little Fairy was a low-profile version of a Sage.

"Yes, there was indeed no shipbuilding specialty before, but now there is. Otherwise, why do you think I went to learn so much knowledge? Isn't it just for better shipbuilding... ah, bah, it's shipbuilding."

Dorothy also spread her hands and said helplessly.

Such a lazy homebody like her was a poor student in her previous life. Why did she suddenly become an omnipotent straight-A student in this life? Was this a distortion of human nature? Or a loss of morality?

Of course, neither. It was purely because interest (?) was the best teacher.

First, magic was indeed more interesting to her than the physics, chemistry, and mathematics of her previous life. She found it interesting to learn. Second, it was because that broken game was too hard to play. In order to be able to personally build those legendary psychic battleship wives, she had to go crazy and strive for strength, and have a certain accumulation of knowledge.

If you don't read more books, those battleship design drawings placed in front of you will look like heavenly books, and you won't understand anything at all.

To be honest, Dorothy really suspected that the shipbuilding system of that broken game "Battleship Collection" was made so complex and professional just to force players to pay. This shipbuilding system was purely an excuse to shut the mouths of those haters. After all, the game company would have a reason to say that their game could actually be played without paying. After all, you could theoretically build all battleships; you could all get them for free.

As for whether you could really build them, that depended on the ability of you players. If you couldn't build them, it was your own problem, not the game company's problem.

Anyway, Dorothy wanted all those various tempting ship girls when she looked at them back then, but poor her really didn't have the money to pay. Then what could she do? Just start learning and grinding.

In order to personally build her wives, she studied until she died during that period as long as she didn't die.

Fortunately, she still had a little bit of talent in learning in this life. Before she started learning, she thought about whether this would be very difficult, but after learning it, she just wanted to say that it was actually just like that. It was not difficult at all, and it was even quite relaxed and happy, making people a little addicted.

Anyway, she just learned whatever knowledge was needed for shipbuilding, and learned as she built. By the time the ship was almost built, she had also learned almost everything.

If the whole process was a farming strategy game, then witch battleships were late-game technology. In order to click on this late-game technology, she had to first click on a series of prerequisite technologies such as materials science, dynamics, mana science, war weapons science, etc.

Therefore, by the time Dorothy really succeeded in building a ship alone in the game, she really felt that she knew a little bit about everything in all walks of life.

And later, because the attributes of various battleships were different—you were a prophecy reconnaissance ship, she was a plastic-energy battleship, etc. —the more she built ships, the more she found that there were more and more things she had to learn. Finally, she simply learned everything.

In fact, Dorothy really misunderstood the game company. Although they did have the intention of forcing payment, they didn't do it so absolutely, really requiring you to build a ship alone.

After all, that was not a single-player game, but an online game. If you couldn't build it alone, couldn't you call a group of friends to build it together? In fact, other free-to-play players all built ships together in the form of game guilds.

However, Dorothy was a lone wolf player with no friends. This was a sad story.

And she also had a bit of cleanliness, feeling that her ship girl wife must be built by herself. How could she let others touch her wife? Even the best friend wouldn't do. This was a matter of principle.

She forced herself to be omnipotent.

"Emmmm.... so you mean you studied so hard just to play games?"

After listening to the Home Witch's narration, Senior Miya fell into silence, while the little fox on the side controlled the puppet with an expression of not knowing why but feeling very powerful and asked.

"Mm-hmm, otherwise? If it wasn't for clearing the game, would I be full and bored to learn so many things? At least at the beginning, I didn't want to learn so much, but later I really got a bit addicted to learning. Even if I quit the game, I have been learning."

Dorothy nodded, and then she looked at this junior sister with a bad look.

"And Audrey, you have the nerve to talk about me? Didn't you also run to learn puppets for your art? Interest and hobbies are the best teachers."

The Home Witch said so.

"Hmm, it seems it really is like this."

Audrey was speechless by her own senior sister's words. She thought about it and felt it was indeed so.

If it wasn't for the pursuit of art, would a witch like her, whose talent was almost all in the spiritual field, be full and bored to run to that automated civil engineering major to learn puppet art?

"Audrey, don't listen to the Little Fairy's nonsense, alright. She is not normal at all."

Senior Miya on the side also came back to her senses. Seeing that this cute little fox was about to be led astray by this Little Fairy, she hurriedly corrected her.

Any normal witch would not think about building a ship alone at the beginning, alright. The Little Fairy could succeed because she herself was a monster. Her way of thinking was something others would die if they learned.

"Little Fairy, I think you'd better be more pragmatic. A game is a game after all. You can build ships in the game, but it's not so easy to really build ships in reality."

The Golden Princess persuaded her beloved with earnest advice.

In the game, those were all simplified and idealized situations. Reality and games were ultimately quite different. She still hoped that the Little Fairy could be more down-to-earth and not really think about going directly to build ships, which would be too inflated.

"Senior Sister, what kind of person do you take me for? I reflect on myself three times a day, alright. Inflation is impossible, impossible in this life."

Dorothy also looked at Senior Miya speechlessly. She naturally knew the difference between games and reality, otherwise she wouldn't have quit the Mana Web duel.

"Battleship Collection" was also like this. No matter how realistic the shipbuilding in the game was, it couldn't be exactly the same as reality, not to mention that many battleship design drawings in the game had blurred processing at key technical nodes. Those things that were blurred were the true essence of battleship technology, such as the manufacturing technology of mana furnaces, the technical points of world-destroying main guns, etc.

These key parts would be given to you as finished products in the game, and you don't need to build them, but in reality, these things were military-controlled resources. Where would she go to get them?

Therefore, don't look at her being able to successfully build legendary psychic battleships in the game, but if you really let her build them in reality, she would be a bit struggling to build the lowest-level introductory battleship. However, if she went to work in a shipbuilding workshop, it would be no problem to be a workshop commander. After all, she could be considered a shipbuilding expert. Those experiences and knowledge were not learned in vain, and they were still somewhat useful.

"Senior Sister, don't worry, I won't be high-minded. Really starting to build ships is definitely something for a long time later. Now my knowledge is not sufficient, and it's a bit far away. I still need to study hard and make up for lessons these years. Besides, I am so poor, and there are not so many resources for me to build."

The Home Witch said so very humbly.

Well, she had only passed the primary assessment of the nine major factions now. There were still intermediate assessments and advanced assessments behind that she hadn't taken. If she really wanted to build legendary psychic battleships in reality, she would have to wait at least until she passed the advanced assessment.

"Mm-hmm, Little Fairy, as long as you know. But I believe you will definitely be able to do it in the future. At that time, I will pay for the shipbuilding resources you need. At that time, just practice as much as you want."

Senior Miya breathed a sigh of relief. She sat up straight, then patted her full chest, and guaranteed so.

She still had great confidence in the Little Fairy's future. With the Little Fairy's growth speed, it might not be impossible for her to really build ships alone in the real world in the future. In this regard, she would fully support her.

Even if the Astrolos family was rich enough to rival a country, her family didn't have a shipbuilding workshop under its name. After all, those alchemy workshops capable of manufacturing witch battleships were the treasures of the witch world, and they were all directly managed by the Sage Council. Every place was a military fortress, and outsiders could not easily approach them.

Moreover, the profit of selling arms was not much less than opening a bank. Those giant war workshops really didn't lack money. Her family's banknote ability could be considered to have met an opponent.

Now the dozens of witch fleets in Senior Miya's family were all bought with money, and they couldn't be self-sufficient. If the Little Fairy could become a shipbuilding master in the future, the Astrolos family would be very happy to contract all the practice resources she needed for her growth.

The friendship of a future shipbuilding master was worth any amount of money. Moreover, she was happy to spend money on the Little Fairy, and she spent it happily. Whether it could be done or not, anyway, as long as the Little Fairy was happy, it was fine.

"That's fine, I will study hard. At that time, everyone will make money together."

Dorothy nodded.

If it was before, she would be a bit embarrassed to accept Senior Miya's gift, fearing to owe favors. But now that everyone was getting more and more familiar, she was not so hypocritical. Moreover, this model of gold master investing in technical big shots was quite common in the witch world. Both sides were mutually beneficial, and it couldn't be considered owing favors.

However, the more she thought about this thing, the more promising it was. Judging from the size of a witch battleship, could that thing also be considered a giant building?

Well, I don't count as crossing the line, alright. A tin house is also a house, alright. It's just that the house can fly and carries some armaments, which doesn't seem to be too excessive.

Moreover, the war fortress architecture that Spider Teacher taught her could also be considered a special way of shipbuilding in a sense.

Isn't a giant war fortress just a type of battleship, to put it bluntly?

Dorothy's brain hole was developing.

And the more she thought about this, the more her hands itched. She felt that maybe she should do something now.

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day. Now I don't have the ability to make a real battleship, but making a small battleship model doesn't seem to be a big problem.

The Home Witch looked at the building materials left over from building the house, and looked at some basic alchemy equipment she had already finished rubbing, and couldn't help but feel eager to try.

At the moment, she suddenly raised her head, looked at Senior Miya and Audrey in front of her, and then said.

"Hey, I actually originally planned to make a means of transport. I hadn't thought about what to build yet. Why don't we build a smaller mini battleship?"

Senior Miya: "....."

Audrey: "....."

The two looked at each other in silence, and both saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Little Fairy (Senior Sister), is this your self-knowledge?

But Dorothy soon gave them a reason they couldn't refuse.

"Senior Miya, you are also a person who studies alchemy. Don't you want to try shipbuilding?"

"My good junior sister, your pattern should be bigger. Who said that a battleship can't be a puppet? Have you ever seen a transforming battleship?"

"Alright, stop talking, hurry up and do it."

Dorothy originally wanted to say a few more words, but the two who were scratched to the itchy spot directly let her shut up and said so.

Thus, just like this, the three witches who originally planned to rub furniture with peace of mind today suddenly went off track.

Dorothy quickly hand-rubbed the necessary shipbuilding equipment, then Senior Miya took out a pile of materials, and the little fox also began to help manufacture precision parts by using puppet art knowledge.

The smallest battleship workshop with one person as the main and two as helpers was established so sloppily.
