Chapter 1011 The "after-sales maintenance" that Mr. Murphy has been thinking about is finally here
Minx Steamvalve left the Steam Lord's mansion very tired..
This fatigue comes from the pressure brought by the constant talks and decisions with the leaders of all parties in the past few days. For the current reinforcements in Port Chardeau, their task of defending the city has been completed, except for Transia In addition to people still feverishly seeking war and taking the initiative to launch frequent attacks around the city, reinforcements from other camps are already preparing to evacuate this place..
This is the focus of the Steam Lords' efforts these days. They hope to pay more to hire more reinforcements to help them fight until the entire peninsula is completely liberated..
Minx has nothing to say about this.
Facts have proved that the attribute of fearlessness has really been engraved in the bones of the halflings. Without the leadership of foreigners, the confidence of the halflings in whether they can regain their lost ground is pitifully small..
However, as one of the Steam Lords, Minx does not despise this kind of cowardly behavior. He is now responsible for armament upgrades. He knows very well that the current Halfling Protection Army is pitifully weak in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. If other lords Insisting on relying on the soldiers of Port Chardeau to liberate the peninsula, he is really worried..
However, this tangled decision has made Minx aware of greater hidden dangers..
Halflings must completely abandon their original isolationism and conservatism from now on, and participate in various major events on the mainland with a more active attitude. The most important thing is that they must have their own armed forces..
The scale can be smaller and the number of people can be smaller, but the will and determination to fight must be cultivated, otherwise they will have to rely on foreigners for rescue every time something goes wrong, not to mention how much money they have to pay. This humiliating dilemma alone is enough to make even the most desperate The halfling on the face felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart..
And as the saying goes, in every crisis there are opportunities.
Now is actually a good opportunity to resolve the contradiction between the inner city and the outer city of Port Chardeau. The people from the outer city could not integrate into the industrial system of Port Chardeau, so simply let them join the new military system, and use this more Contribute to the city in a direct way, and with military honors integrate into the system that halflings must reform..
Thinking about these things related to the future of the population, the tired Minx returned to his laboratory in the university town with worry..
For mechanics, the laboratory is their office space, bedroom, restaurant and entertainment facilities, especially for an elderly widowed halfling like Minx who has never been married. He does not want to live alone in a few hundred square meters. Greathouse.
That's too lonely.
But when the great mechanic opened the door, he was shocked to see an uninvited guest sitting on his mechanical chair..
The handsome governor of Transia was leaning on a comfortable mechanical chair, holding a copy of the "Mechanics' Bulletin" in his hand and looking at it in a reading manner..
However, Minx immediately saw that Murphy was just concave modeling, because he did not think that with the level of vampire engineering theory, he could understand the seven-unit parallel-rail multi-thread differential published in this announcement. Theoretical conception of machine.
Because that stuff gives even Minx a headache when he looks at it
It's not that it's difficult to understand.
The main reason is that the whole article of this theory is just continuing the story, adding a lot of water, and packaging clichés with novel concepts in an attempt to attract a wave of sponsorship. The number of such articles in the "Mechanics' Bulletin" is like a carp crossing the river..
Therefore, if the first thing Murphy says is that he fully understands this article, it just shows that Murphy really knows nothing about mechanical engineering..
“Ah, please forgive me for being too obsessed with reading this wonderful paper on cutting-edge technology. I didn’t realize that the owner of this laboratory has returned..”
When Murphy saw Minks staring at him with a strange look, he stood up with a gentle smile, put the newspaper in his hand on the corner of the table, and pretended to sigh.：
“What a theory! It is full of all kinds of fashionable and novel vocabulary, which reminds me of the scene when those liars are talking about their lotus. Look at your disappointed expression at this time. You don’t really think that I want to show off my pity in front of you. knowledge, let’s pretend that we are a mechanical enthusiast.？
I have a lot of bad habits, but besides respecting women, I never do anything that a layman orders an expert to do. This is the only good habit I have besides respecting women..”
The vampire lord shrugged, made a "please" gesture, and said to Minx：
“You can laugh at me for not knowing engineering, but in fact I understand the tricks of scammers, and that’s enough.”
“you are a true wise man.”
Minx said with a straight face.：
“It would be perfect if you didn't just read my mind. Tell me why a big shot like you showed up in the laboratory of a lonely old halfling in the evening.？”
“Stop pretending, Your Excellency, isn't this obvious?？”
Murphy snorted and said：
“Regarding the old Bach, perhaps we should call him another name, 'scholar'! So now I'm curious, as one of the people closest to him, what kind of rhetoric are you going to use to make me think that you are not on his side?？”
The vampire lord also bared his teeth on purpose to enhance the threat of his words. He said threateningly：
“After all, I had to make sure the halflings were on the right side of the next move, and in doing so I was willing to perform some of the nefarious control tactics that only a vampire can do..”
“I can't explain or prove it. After all, the relationship between me and my mentor cannot be cleared up in just one or two sentences..”
Minx said, waving his hands.：
“But I can guarantee that the next time you have a war with him, you will definitely see me, Little Bach and Old Flywheel in your camp. I no longer care about why the mentor took that path, I Now I just want to end this thing that will bring shame to the entire halfling civilization..
Our former hero fell into a maniac trying to destroy the world.
Such accusations cannot be exonerated with words, only with actual actions. Therefore, Your Excellency, please give us some time to prove our determination..”
“Well, let me believe in your 'determination', but to do great things, determination alone is not enough, so I have brought you what you need most now..”
Like a magician, Murphy stretched out his hand and held it in front of him for a moment. Then a mechanical cane decorated with a parrot head sculpture appeared in his palm, and after a graceful spin, it was handed to Minx in front of him..
The great mechanic looked at the cane in front of him with a complicated look..
This is old Bach's mechanical walking stick.
When he was studying with his mentor when he was young, he had a deep memory of this cane..
The mechanics of Port-Chardeau have many peculiar traditions, and the multifunctional mechanical cane is one of them..
Mechanic apprentices need to assemble a mechanical squirrel on their own to represent their mastery. There are many requirements for being promoted to the title of mechanical master. One of the hard conditions is to design and make a cane that can be transformed multiple times..
Since the establishment of Port Chardeau, every mechanical master has to go through this level, and every mechanical cane carries the ingenuity and experience of each master..
“"You can't find two identical walking sticks in Port Chardeau" has even become a saying in mainland China..
This thing is the most precious wealth and symbol of reputation of every mechanical master who is recognized by the public. Even the expelled guy like Old Flywheel hides his cane very well. If a certain mechanic passes through non-combat peace Obtaining a cane means you are qualified to inherit the mantle of a master..
