376.Make cement? Isn’t it enough to have hands? (Page 1/2)
Although Little Sharon, the "master of engineering" in Scarlet Castle, wanted to see the winner of Transia's first boxing championship, she finally decided to leave for the arsenal in the Under Armor Hills after staying in Scarlet Castle for three days..
On the one hand, Mr. Murphy and his apprentice Brother Zhong have been urging. Although Brother Zhong is very interested in steam engineering gadgets on the mainland and is determined to learn and master these things, learning itself also takes time. , and today's Zhongzhong brother does not have the ability to independently run an arsenal based on "fantasy engineering".
To put it simply, Brother Zhongzhong is shaking people and desperately hopes that his little mentor will come and take charge of the overall situation..
On the other hand, the main body of the arsenal on the Under Armor Hills has been completed, and the large steam furnace power source promised by the "partner" Cape family has also been shipped to the Under Armor Hills..
It is said that a dozen skilled workers sent here by the Cape family have begun assembling the production line and are selecting apprentices from nearby villages and refugees at the request of Brother Zhongzhong. This means that the actual production of the arsenal is about to be put on the agenda..
Xiao Sharon still has a lot of affection for this factory..
The weapon production lines that make up Transia's first national arsenal all come from the former city of Xiko. It was her "ancestral property". She thought it would never be taken back, but Lord Murphy used political means to take it back..
And she is now one of the managers and rulers of Transia. Due to circumstances and reasons, she must personally participate in the management of the arsenal. It is a pity that Director Deen, who was in charge of the Xiko City factory area, and the people under him... A team of smart and capable workers have perished in the disaster of the plague..
However, considering that the current victims of Xiko City have evolved into undead souls who cannot rest in peace and are bound in decaying bodies, does it mean that one day in the future, I can still see that outstanding factory owner?？
With such questions, Sharon's carriage slowly set off from Scarlet Castle, escorted by two wing cavalry and four mountain warriors..
However, before driving very far, an unexpected visitor appeared beside the carriage and asked to get on the carriage to talk to Sharon..
Although the little earl also inherited Lord Murphy's unique sin descendant blood, because the blood contract has been severed by the family's blood, her resistance to sunlight is far less than that of Maxim and Adele, even in the daytime. She still couldn't lift her spirits in the dim carriage..
Just because he insists on his bloodline, he has not slept in the exquisite walnut coffin he put in the carriage..
“Ms. Dorothy？”
Sharon looked at the leader of the Blood Rat Gang who boarded the carriage. She drank refreshing hot tea at the suggestion of the strange Count Andre and said in surprise.：
“What can I do for you? As you can see, I am about to leave Scarlet Castle, and the next time I come back will probably be at least twenty days later..”
“That's why I'm so anxious to visit you.”
Dorothy didn't waste Sharon's time. She directly took out a "sample" from the psychic bag and handed it to the little earl. The latter took it in his hand and looked at it..
This is a piece of carefully made cardboard. There are 64 unified squares of eight horizontal and eight vertical directions. Different symbols are drawn on it. The drawings are very small and can be seen. They are all kinds of symbols that exist in reality or legend. species of animals, with a few duplicates but mostly independent.
The rules of this "game" are written in the simplest words at the bottom of the card. How smart little Sharon is, she reacted immediately：
“This is a lottery ticket？”
“Yes, it is very similar to the lottery tickets halflings give out when they hold celebrations in their cities, but the rules of this one are more complicated. It is essentially a kind of gambling based on small gains, and it is something that cannot be put on the table..”
Dorothy leaned on the seat of the carriage and told little Sharon what she had heard from Lao Huo.：
“For example, this one in your hand, after it takes shape, I will let the warrior psychics of the Blood Rat Gang disguise it, and sell it for 5 coppers each. The buyer only needs to tear it open after taking it in his hand. Crude psychic disguises can see their 'win' situation.
As long as there is one griffin in the animal pattern inside, you can redeem 5 silver coins at the purchase point, two griffins will cost you ten silver coins, and three griffons will cost you twenty silver coins. If you can catch the flying lion + griffon + sea monster The combination is the first prize.
A full 10 gold coins！”
“this is gambling！”
Sharon said warily：
“My mother told me not to gamble since I was a child. She grew up in a halfling city and saw many poor people who lost everything in the casinos run by the Thieves Guild and ended their lives. You want to sell this kind of thing in the Scarlet Keep.？
You are so heartless! People here are poor enough.”
“How is it possible？”
Dorothy rolled her eyes and said：
“The people in Scarlet Fort use labor points. The circulation of money here is limited, and they don’t have much money in their hands. We will put this thing in the underground black market of Scarlet Fort and Bataxin City as a pilot project. By the way, Sell it to the Yankees and see the results..
Of course, this is just a warm-up for a larger plan. This little thing is used to promote the truth to those guys who have money and nowhere to spend it, that is, Transia also has a place where they can spend money freely..
Don't ask too much, just ask if you can design a printing press for us to mass-produce this kind of 'scratch-off' music.？”
“Of course, it's not difficult at all.”
Sharon snorted and said：
“Not only can I design it, I can also create a mechanical logic for randomly assigning patterns, and I can even set the probability of the jackpot according to the degree of your black heart. I only need two computing orbs as the computing core to realize this function..
But it will be very delicate but also very heavy after it is made, so you have to find a place to store it.”
“Great, that's exactly what I wanted to hear! Then, I’ll leave the machine to you..”
Dorothy whispered：
“Can it be done in five days? Please understand that my 'partners' are not willing to waste more time, and this is the time for us to show our strength to them. I urgently need us to come up with physical objects as soon as possible..”
“If time is so tight, we have to use special methods. If I use the typewriter I carry with me to modify it, it can be done, but it will cost extra.！”
Little Sharon the lion said loudly：
“The basic price is 100 gold coins. I can still finish it in three days, but if I have to shorten the working hours, it means that I have to stay up late and work overtime. I heard a great word from Mr. Murphy, called 'labor cost'’.
I am the noble Count Xico, and I have to work so hard to make this harmful thing for you. This makes my conscience reproached, so I offer 300 gold coins! Maybe this will ease my tortured conscience.”
“But you are a vampire! Staying up late to work is not a pressure at all but a benefit to you”
Dorothy complained：
“I know that as Count Xico, you have to raise money from everywhere to build reserves for the reconstruction of your territory. I also know that you have used your skills to the extreme, making some high-quality firearms and selling them to those careless warriors at ten times the price. them.
You're bullying those otherworldly spirits who don't have enough knowledge.！
But I am a local, little Earl Sharon, so there is no need to ask for such a harsh price, right?？”
“Okay, then I'll give you a discount.”
Xiao Sharon smiled like a fox who stole a chicken, she covered her mouth and said：
“250A gold coin, this cannot be less. This is because of our friendship. If we want more machines of the same type in the future, it will cost 300 per machine. No bargaining..”
“make a deal！”
Dorothy gloomily took out a money bag from her psychic bag and threw it to the "little vampire" in front of her. She didn't stay for long before leaving Sharon's carriage..
She also had to go and report this matter to her immediate boss, Mrs. Adele, to find out what was going on between her and Mr. Murphy..
Although the Blood Rat Gang shoulders the important task of earning operational funds for the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, the nature of what Dorothy is currently doing is completely different from opening an offer in Fight Club. She must get it before execution. With approval from her superiors and a letter of appointment, she would be able to find someone to take the blame even if something went wrong later.”.
Always find a way out for yourself！
This is Dorothy's survival philosophy, and the fact that she can survive to this day under the pursuit of mysterious forces and the more she lives, the more nourished she is, which fully proves that her survival strategy is correct..
