Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 516: New Style Armor!



According to Rocky's idea, in the cooperation of Thunderhawk City with the Apple Tree Corporation to establish a factory, Thunderhawk City was responsible for providing technology and manpower, while the Apple Tree Corporation would handle the factory expenditures and the sales of the Armor. Then, the profits would be shared between the two parties according to agreed proportions. That is to say, in the cooperation matter, Thunderhawk City was not spending a dime. For this requirement, Archimonde, the Vice President, did not raise many objections, since the corporation had already discussed this internally before his arrival and had anticipated such a scenario. For the corporation, as long as Rocky could provide the technology, especially the latest technology used in the White Demon Armor, they were willing even if Thunderhawk City did not spend a dime. After all, the White Demon Armor was so popular that there would be no concern about sales if the factory produced Armors using the same technology; this was undisputable. However, when Archimonde heard the latter part of Rocky's speech, he realized that Rocky's idea was completely off from theirs. The Chamber of Commerce intended for the factory to produce Armors loaded with new technology. Yet Rocky intended for the factory to produce his own design of Armor, most importantly, these Armors did not possess the technology that the White Demon had, and as for new technology, he hoped to talk about it later. This caused Archimonde to frown. "City Lord Rocky, are you sure the Armors you designed… will have a market?" After looking at Rocky with a frown for a while, Archimonde had to bluntly ask. After all, this question was too crucial. The Chamber was planning to cooperate with Rocky, not to play around but to venture into the Armor manufacturing industry and to make money. If the produced Armors couldn't be sold, then what was there to talk about? "I believe they will." However, faced with Archimonde's skepticism, Rocky just smiled, not only nodding with extreme confidence but also glanced at Liliya afterwards. As soon as Liliya was looked at by Rocky, she said nothing and turned to leave the room. Soon after, she reappeared, though this time, someone from outside brought in a Magic Energy Projector, not a small one, but a large-sized projector. Once the projector was set up, Liliya turned it on, and shortly thereafter, a Magic Energy Image appeared before everyone. "Vice President Archimonde, have you heard of this Tank Type 1 Armor?" Once the Magic Energy Image appeared, the image of the Tank Type 1 Armor appeared in everyone's sight, and then Rocky looked toward Archimonde. "Of course, I have heard about it, it must be one of City Lord Rocky's masterpieces, right?" Having glanced at the image of the Tank Type 1, Archimonde nodded, knowing of the Armor as he had heard about it being designed under Rocky's leadership and that it had been shared with the Sky Alliance. Of course, since it was shared, it meant that both parties had the right to manufacture and produce this type of Armor. This means that once the factory was established, Rocky could also produce this kind of Armor. Presumably, this was why Rocky showcased the Tank Type 1, to show Archimonde that he wasn't just pulling a fast one; he really had something substantial. Indeed, this was exactly Rocky's intention. Once their collaborative factory was built, they indeed could immediately start producing the Tank Type 1 Armor. According to Rocky, since sharing the Tank Type 1 with the Sky Alliance, the Alliance had already produced hundreds of these Armors and had distributed them to industries and bases on land. Moreover, their performance in battle had been quite impressive, prompting the Alliance to increase production and to begin efforts on improvements and enhancements. What did that imply? Naturally, it meant that the Tank Type 1 Armor was a very promising and exceptional Armor. So, once they also started producing this type of Armor, there definitely would be a market for it. After all, in today's skies, it wasn't just the Sky Alliance that had industries and bases on land; many other Alliances and even large Sky Cities owned industries and had massive demand for the Tank Type 1 Armor. However, even after Rocky had expressed all his thoughts and plans, Archimonde's frown did not relax. He didn't deny that everything Rocky said made sense and didn't deny that the Tank Type 1 Armor was a promising Armor, but in his view, these things did not change his concerns! An Armor manufacturer couldn't just survive on producing one type of Armor, could it? Therefore, Archimonde couldn't possibly trust Rocky completely based just on the Tank Type 1 Armor. After all, if Rocky couldn't design another Armor of the same caliber later, whom would the Chamber turn to? It had to be said, Archimonde truly deserved his position as Vice President; he considered issues more macroscopically and more long-term. It was impossible for him to be swayed or get carried away by a little bit of quick profit. But facing Archimonde still with an unrelaxed brow, Rocky was equally full of confidence. After expressing his thoughts on the Tank Type 1 Armor, he signaled Liliya again, who then immediately controlled the projector to switch to a new image. The new Magic Energy Image displayed a new-style Armor that no one had ever seen before, so as soon as it appeared, it immediately drew everyone's attention. The new-style Armor that appeared before everyone looked similar to traditional Armors but also had significant differences; namely, this new Armor had a pair of wings on its back, and the weapon the Armor held was also very eye-catching — it wasn't a Mana Sword but… something no one had ever seen! "City Lord Rocky, what is this…?" Looking at the new-style Armor in the Magic Energy Image, Archimonde couldn't help but turn to Rocky, his eyes filled with curiosity. "This is an Armor I am currently developing, specifically designed to combat Flying Demons." "Oh?" Upon hearing this, including Archimonde, everyone's eyes lit up! The situation in the skies had changed, becoming unsafe, and the chief culprit for this scenario was the emergence of Flying Demons. So, when Rocky mentioned this was an Armor specifically designed to combat Flying Demons, it immediately piqued everyone's interest, making everyone unconsciously focus their attention on him, each looking as curious as little children, waiting for his explanation. Seeing this, Rocky didn't keep them in suspense, he immediately stood up and walked to the Magic Energy Projector.
