The ring on Scott's right hand released an orange-red light, which soared into the sky. Not long after, the light on the ship in the distance flashed, as if it had responded in some kind of response.

"What's going on?" Everyone looked at each other, while Scott stopped talking, hugged his shoulders and walked to the side, staring at the sea with a gloomy face. Seeing his expression, no one dared to approach him easily, only Barry quietly walked to him.

"Are you going to ask the three mechanics on the ship to increase the input of spiritual power and increase the pressure of the steam engine?"

Scott nodded with a cold face.

"But you haven't completely improved that function yet. Will it be used at this time..." Barry carefully organized the language.

"I have to win. This is not only about my reputation, but also an invisible contest between the mechanical school and the psychic school. Have you seen the expression of Nürkmen?" Scott's eyes were gloomy with his fists tightly clenched.

"Wait, I will make him pay the price." He glanced at Barry, "Don't worry, I checked repeatedly, there was no problem with the added part of the spiritual road cycle. Don't worry, victory will belong to us."

"Look, everyone!" A shout came from the heights.

"It's accelerating, the second ship is accelerating, it's so fast!"

"What happened?" Everyone straightened their necks and widened their eyes.

The black smoke rolled, and Scott's ship accelerated violently. As time went by, it was getting closer and closer to the Newcomer ship. According to this trend, it would not take long to catch up and then surpass it.

At this time, the two ships have already walked 2/3 of the distance, and the remaining final part will become the key to victory or defeat.

"What is this function?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Even if it cannot be used frequently, it can definitely be the key to determining the outcome when fighting."

"At the previous exchange meeting, Master Scott seemed to have deliberately concealed this function. I really didn't expect that his research on improving the spiritual road cycle was so much more advanced than ours."

Finally, after a period of pursuit, Scott caught up with Newcomermen, and at this time, both sides were not too far from the finish line. Standing here, you could even clearly see the entire outline of the hull.

Meanwhile, Sigmun was holding the rudder with a leisurely face.

"You're not really going to let Scott win the game, are you?" Savry walked over with a smile.

"It's always a win, I wanted them to lose a little decently." Sigmun replied. Winning was a foregone conclusion, and there was no need to expose all of his trump cards in this case.

So since the departure, the entire ship has been controlling its power output, but even so, it has left a lot of other ships behind. However, what Sigmun did not expect was that Scott actually kept a hand.

According to Safry's explanation, Scott should have designed some kind of spiritual circuit cycle that increases power output in a short time, so that overload operation must not last too long.

"I'm curious, why didn't you release the entire ship's power when Scott accelerated just now?" Savry asked.

"That won't work." Sigmun shook his head.

"An opponent who is too strong will make the enemy desperate, give him hope, and then kill this hope with his own hands. This is what a kind man should do."

"You call this kindness?" Safry was speechless.

"Have you read the information at the exchange meeting? You have also said that his method of temporarily increasing the speed must not last long. In this case, I naturally have to give him hope, because only in this way can he continue to maintain a high load dynamic state."

"The longer the time goes, the greater the probability of their steam power engine failure. Now we are not far from the end, and we are going to start speeding up," Sigmun replied.

"I hope that Master Scott's luck will not be too bad. You said that if his ship stopped halfway due to power failure, tsk, then, the pre-game champion will only watch everyone surpass him."

"Haha, that picture is just about thinking about it."

"You guy." Safry shook his head, but also smiled, and after saying that, he returned to the steam power compartment.

Not long after, just as Scott surpassed Newcormen's ship, just when everyone thought Scott was about to stage a shocking reversal and regain the championship.

The smoke rose, and the speed of the Newcomer's ship increased again, easily surpassing Scott and leaving the other party far behind.

Seeing this scene, the cheers of everyone getting ready stuck in their throats, Scott's expression almost solidified, all his emotions accumulated in his chest, constantly cumulating and compressing, and even the chaos began to rise.

"Scott!" Barry snorted coldly, reminding his friends.

"It's just a little bit, we're about to win."

There was silence around, and no one wanted to offend Scott, and they didn't know what to say at this time. Then they watched the ship of Newcomer come to the finish line first with an absolute lead.

"There's a problem, how could their ship be so fast?" Barry whispered. "It's okay, we keep the second place. When the game is over, we'll have to check the ship at Nükmen. I doubt he's tampered with it."

"What you said makes sense, wait for our ship..."

But before Scott finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the sea not far away, followed by a violent explosion. The hull shook and thick smoke rolled. After sliding forward for a distance with inertia, it slowly stopped.

At this time, Scott's ship was less than 100 meters away from the finish line.

For fairness, all ships unloaded sails before the race.

So the last 100 meters distance became the end point that Scott would never reach.

"What happened?!" Although he guessed the reason, Barry was still unwilling to believe it and looked at Scott with a nervous look on his face.

The blue veins swelled up on his forehead, and Scott's breathing was messy. He knew clearly that due to the long-term overload, the spiritual road cycle collapsed, and his steam engine was scrapped.

For a moment, the entire exchange meeting was silent, and everyone was silently watching the abandoned ship 100 meters away from the finish line, with the expression on their faces extremely complicated.

At this time, a ship with the flag of Konos broke into everyone's sight, approached, surpassed, and then rowed past Scott's ship and sailed to the end.

"We are second!" the head of Konos shouted loudly, but his shouting did not arouse any reaction from everyone.

Scott stood on the edge of the deck, holding the guardrail tightly with his hands tightly, and he watched Akkad's ship pass the finish line as third.

Then there is the 4th ship, the 5th ship.

Until all the ships reached the finish line, only a lonely abandoned ship was left behind not far from the finish line.

He is the last one.

This result is something Scott couldn't accept anyway.

"The competition is over!"

"The victory was from the Royal Engineering Research Institute of the Kingdom of Elland!" Someone announced the results. With this period of buffering, everyone could only accept this reality.

Soon everyone gathered around Newcomer, praising and talking, just like Scott just now.

Barry's eyes swept over the Newcomer's ship, as if he had noticed something quietly pulling Scott.

Scott's eyes lit up and he walked quickly towards Newcomer.

He didn't believe that Newcomer's design was better than his own, so the answer was very simple.
Chapter completed!
