Chapter 3783, Shipbreaking Youth

Nowadays, on the third-party planet under Hill's rule, the development of the shipping industry has undoubtedly shifted its focus to the manufacturing of magic warships.

However, dismantling the shipwrecks hauled back from the original Mage Wenxing territory can be regarded as their old business.

The shipyards on the planet naturally did not refuse.

Of course, the main reason is that at this stage, the business orders assigned to them are much smaller than those of other shipyards.

While sending manpower to build magic warships, they also have extra manpower that can be used to dismantle the wreckage of these ships.

"Hey, is this ship-breaking job again? Master, when can I be transferred to build a magic battleship? I want to build a magic battleship! A magic battleship!!"

Wearing a greasy boatman's uniform, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties was expressing his dissatisfaction to the middle-aged man who was leaning on a crane and puffing away smoke.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who was called 'Master' took out a puff of smoke and then said angrily to him.

"Kate, you don't even know how to dismantle a ship, but you still build a magic warship? You're ten years too early! Get to work quickly!"

"Isn't that what I've been doing?"

While speaking, the young man named Kate waved the guy in his hand and removed a metal frame from the wreckage of the battleship that had decayed for who knows how many years.

In fact, talking is talking, but Kate's work has indeed never stopped.

"But Master, you have been slacking off there since just now."

"Hey! You kid, you still care about me?!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man waved his hand, as if he was saying, 'Is your skin itchy?'

As a result, after just waving his hand twice, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and he held his right arm and gasped.

"Master? Master, how are you doing?!"

Seeing the master like that, Kate felt nervous and quickly put down the tools in her hands and ran over.

Gritting his teeth, he glanced at Kate, who looked nervous, and the middle-aged man waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man endured it for a while, and as the pain subsided, his expression gradually relaxed.

When Kate saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief, her tone became slightly lighter, and she patted her chest.

"Master, just wait and see. In two years, my apprentice will become prosperous. At that time, I will take you to a big city for treatment, or even give you a new arm!"

Hearing Kate's words, the middle-aged man laughed twice and said nothing. The beads of sweat on his forehead and his slightly livid complexion made him look like he still needed to slow down.

He was not originally here to dismantle ships, but was responsible for manufacturing the magic warships.

Later, in an accident, his entire right hand was broken. It was not an ordinary fracture, the condition was very serious.

If it were any other civilization, this arm would probably be useless.

However, according to the medical technology of their civilization, it is not difficult to completely cure him. You can even just replace him with a new arm as his apprentice said.

But in that case, the cost of treatment would be very high, and even including the shipyard's medical subsidies and medical insurance, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

If you have no choice, you can only choose relatively poor treatment options.

But even so, his right arm is more than enough to cope with daily life.

I just can't do my previous job anymore, and occasionally I experience severe pain.

However, the owner of the shipyard was quite generous and did not fire him, an old employee, but transferred him here and asked him to be responsible for leading new employees.

"Okay, hurry up and get to work. I'm going to the city hospital in the afternoon for a regular check-up."

While talking, the middle-aged man put out his cigarette and took off his coat hanging on the crane's rearview mirror.

"I will come back before get off work to confirm the work progress. Don't be lazy, call me if you have anything."

"I know, I know, master, just go quickly."

After watching the middle-aged man leave, Kate exhaled a long and heavy breath.

"Start work, start work!"

All the equipment in their shipyard has been transferred to the factory that manufactures magic warships.

When they come here, except for some tools like cranes left for them to use, most of the work can basically only be done by their own hard-working hands and some simple disassembly tools.

Fortunately, I still have plenty of time, otherwise, I would have been unable to do this job long ago.

For safety reasons, without damaging the overall structure of the shipwreck, small parts were dismantled first and then large ones, leaving the frame until the end.

Kate's movements when working were still very neat. The master also said that he was quite talented. In one afternoon, he basically cleared every detail of the parts on the deck of the wreckage of the ship.

He glanced at the time and saw that there were still forty-one minutes left before getting off work, and the work he planned for today had been completed ahead of schedule.

However, idleness was idleness, and since she couldn't leave early, Kate simply put on a lighting helmet and prepared to enter the ship to see the situation.

According to the plan, this was supposed to be tomorrow's work, but it doesn't matter if you confirm it in advance.

Anyway, he is basically responsible for this pile of debris, and he has to work on it morning and night.

Due to an old injury on his hand, his master could not help when disassembling small parts. He could only help operate the machine when disassembling large parts.

"Ah this..."

After finding the entrance and walking a little way inside, Kate felt confused when she looked at the collapsed passage.

"Those guys are definitely lazy again!"

Under normal circumstances, after the exploration fleet discovers the wreckage of such a ship, the first thing it does is to send people in for investigation.

Under this premise, if the other party had done it honestly, then these collapsed passages should have been cleared long ago. Otherwise, how could this mission be carried out?

But looking at the current situation, it's obvious that the other party is being lazy.

After all, the war with the Magical Civilization has ended for so many years, and the wreckage of these ships floating in the star field have also decayed into space junk. What is left?

Therefore, many detection fleets, after discovering the wreckage of these ships, use detection equipment to scan them roughly from the outside and then hastily get rid of the problem. Those who carry out their tasks honestly have become a minority.

Sighing, Kate used a tool to pry open a collapsed metal plate, then followed the gap and drilled directly in.

After walking roughly around the ship, he came to a rather empty space inside the ship.

I looked at the overly high roof of the ship and the messy floor underneath.

Unless it is a special room, there is generally no such space in a ship. At the same time, Kate can also see from the decayed fractures above that there should have been two floors here.

It's just that the upper floor collapsed, forming such a space.

"Then what's down here?"

The thoughts in my mind were quickly transformed into actual actions. I pried open a part of the rotten floor fragments. The space below was quite large. Compared with the ships that had been dismantled in the past, it should be the cabin at the bottom.

The light beam of the lighting helmet swept across, and in the corner of the cabin, boxes scattered one after another came into Kate's eyes.
Chapter completed!
