The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

　　 Actually, when Leo and Jean Valjean talked, Martin had come to the stairs, but he didn't go upstairs immediately, but stood at the stairs and listened to their conversation for a while.

　　It's just that Martin didn't know his whereabouts had already been noticed by Leo. Although he didn't know why Martin did this, he knew how to deal with it.

　　 So when Jean Valjean expressed his dissatisfaction and disdain to Martin, he deliberately shifted the topic to those machines, without letting Jean Valjean's emotions fully show.

　　 It was just that he did not expect that the relationship between Jean Valjean and Martin would be so bad. After seeing him, the first sentence was full of gunpowder.

Martin doesn’t like Jean Valjean’s attitude towards himself, and he doesn’t like being questioned by his subordinates in front of outsiders, but he also knows very well that if there is less Jean Valjean in Cage City, I am afraid that the machines that keep Cage City working More than half of the failures will definitely make Cage City chaotic. So no matter how bad Jean Valjean's attitude towards him is, he can only bear it, at least before his plan succeeds.

　　 "You can ask how much the cost of such a lamp is." Martin stabilized his emotions, looked at Jean Valjean coldly, and said.

"Is this expensive?" Leo froze for a moment. Lamps with the same function in the Earth Federation are very cheap, even beggars who are barren stars can afford it, and the same is true in the old earth age, so this makes him Thinking has always felt that all lamps are very cheap.

　　Listening to Austrian inquiry, Jean Valjean showed a little embarrassment on his face, and pouted his lips, saying, "It's only twenty."

　　 Leo still judges the currency unit behind the numbers according to the cheap thinking of lamps and says, "Is it twenty dollars? It is a little expensive for the average person."

"If it's only Twenty Biya, I can't even fill these lamps with the entire cage city, but several important places in the cage city, such as Kina's clinic, will at least be replaced with such brighter lamps." Martin Leng With a grunt, he said angrily: "The cost of this lamp is twenty gold."

　　 Hearing this number, Leo could not help but take a breath.

　　After a few days of study, he had a certain understanding of the currency exchange rate and the value of the currency itself at this time, and he was also very clear about some of the most famous currencies. Although Jinsa is inferior to gold **** and gold shield in circulation, this currency is recognized as the highest value gold coin. Each gold coin can be exchanged for 25 gold shields.

　　If you follow this exchange rate algorithm, the cost of a lamp is equivalent to 500 gold shields and thousands of gold flanges. Such an expensive price, let alone a place like cage city, even the royal palace of the French royal family may not be able to hold such expensive items.

　　 Hearing such a high price, Jason could not help but stared at this small lamp with a stunned look.

　　 "Why is it so expensive?" Leo asked curiously.

"The other parts of this lamp are not very expensive, mainly in two places." Jean Valjean explained: "One place is the filament of the light bulb. This kind of filament requires a rare ore produced from the Mozambican continent. Precious metals, which are very scarce, with a maximum output of less than 500 grams per year. Another place is that the steam generator needs to be equipped with a current stabilizer, and the stabilizer also needs to use a precious metal, two kinds of plus Get up, the price will be expensive."

Leo is not clear what materials can be used for this light bulb and what devices are needed, because in the era of the Earth Federation he has begun to use light particle lamps that do not require energy consumption, but he still feels that this lamp should have other Cheap replacement materials. He just didn't know how to do it, he didn't take the liberty, he could only be a quiet observer.

　　Martin seemed to be unwilling to stay here longer, and impatiently urged: "Jean Valjean, what are your weapons? Now take it out and let Mr. Dodd choose."

　　 "Which of my weapons?" Jean Valjean expressed a surprised expression, as if he heard something incredible, and he asked in confirmation, "Is those weapons?"

　　 "It's those weapons." Martin knew what Jean Valjean was saying,

　　Ran Agen questioned: "Don't you say those weapons are unqualified?"

"I paid you to research weapons to equip the trade union guards. What I need is weapons that can be mass-produced but cost less." Martin almost gritted his teeth towards Jean Valjean and said, "You spent me thirteen Wan Jinfang made those things. Do you think I should consider those weapons qualified?"

　　The last sentence of questioning, Martin almost shouted out, as if he wanted to vent the suffocating brain he had received in front of the factory owner to Valjean these days.

　　 uses a sentence of misery to describe the relationship between Martin and Jean Valjean. Obviously, the union’s reserve funds are insufficient. He just squeezed out 130,000 gold flanges to find the best mechanical technician in the cage city of Jean Valjean, hoping to develop a suitable cage city and a large number of weapons. If he talks to those factory owners, he also feels confident.

But after the 130,000 gold orchids were finished, Jean Valjean took out his work. He almost didn't let him kill Jean Valjean on the spot. Eventually, he managed to hold his breath rationally and put Jean Valjean under house arrest. In his own mechanical workshop, when did he repay the debt of 130,000 gold flanges, and when would he be free.

　　 "Are there any problems with those weapons?" Leo asked Martin.

"The weapon itself is no problem, and it is the best weapon I have ever seen. Even the master technicians of Murphy's arsenal cannot make such a good weapon." Martin took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and explained to Leo Tao: "It's just that those weapons are not only very expensive to manufacture, but also can't be used by the average person. No matter how they can't be explained, you can understand it when you see the real thing." Then he shouted at Jean Valjean again: " What do you stand here, take things down quickly."

"There are too many things, let's go and see!" Jean Valjean walked to the side of the wall while talking, and moved the wall lamp shelf hard, and then heard a burst of mechanical friction, gears The sound of collision came from the iron plate overhead.

　　 "Ga~" a harsh noise rang in the room, and then saw a ceiling falling slowly, and with the operation of the mechanical gear, a whole iron plate gradually deformed into an upward staircase.

　　After the stairs fell, Jean Valjean took off the hanging lamp on the wall, led the money, walked up, and Leo followed them.

At the end of the stairs, it was not a room, but a lift well. Jean Valjean stood by the well and beckoned everyone to wait. After a while, I heard a crunch coming from above the well. When a lift fell from the top of his head, he stopped in front of Jean Valjean.

　　 "When did you build the new elevator in the building?" Martin asked annoyedly: "Don't you know that any building in the building requires the approval of the building committee?"

　　 "I'm not in the building, so I don't need to be reviewed by the committee." Jean Valjean said, pointing to the deep well below the elevator.

　　 I saw looking down the deep well. If you have good eyesight, you can vaguely see the bottom street scene.

It turned out that this should be a space above the road between buildings, but the street above has been covered by a steel framed iron plate connection channel, plus some people simply build a house on the connection bracket, so just look The shadow of the street is gone. But as Jean Valjean said, this is not a space inside the building, and building things here does not need to be reviewed by the building committee.

　　 Seeing that Martin was speechless, Jean Valjean also smiled, opened the elevator door, motioned for everyone to come up, and then moved the side control lever. I saw that the elevator slowly rises. After four or five meters of elevation, the four corners of the elevator are caught by the gear guides composed of four steel frames. Instead of climbing on ropes, they move on gears.

　　After about a minute, the elevator climbed about 20 floors or so. After Valjean moved the joystick, he listened slowly and stopped just in front of a darkened tunnel.

Jean Valjean lifted the hanging lamp and walked into the passage. After passing through the three doors, he handed the lamp to Leo. He took out two keys and inserted them into two differently shaped locks on the door at the same time. At the same time, the key was twisted at the same time according to different twisting methods. After hearing a mechanical sound, the door slowly opened, and a sultry turbid gas was sprayed out from behind the door. The clothes and hair of the four people were blowing.

　　 "You are built to be tight enough here." Martin said something.

　　 Jean Valjean didn't worry about Martin's accounting after the autumn, and said frivolously: "No way, I have too many valuable things. I always have to find a few places to put it away."

　　As the turbidity inside the house completely dissipated, the temperature inside and outside the house also returned to the same level. Jean Valjean signaled everyone to wait, and then he walked into the room with a hanging lamp. Although nothing can be seen in the dark room, listening to the echoes in the room is enough to make people feel that this room is probably not small.

Just as people outside the room guessed the size of the room, the various lamps hanging on the top of the room and inlaid around the room seemed to be subjected to some kind of magic, and were almost ignited at the same time, completely removing the darkness in the room. .

　　As everyone guessed just now, this room is very large. When measured by Catherine's clinic, it is roughly equivalent to the neatly arranged area of ​​six clinics.

Although the room is large, there are not many things placed in the room, at least much less than the things in the mechanical workshop below, and these things except for a huge clock, Leo can understand its function, all other machinery Unknown role.

　　 Among them, the huge machine that occupies half of the room is most curious to Leo, this machine looks like a row of spinning machines connected together. It's just that these machines don't have yarn, and besides a large number of gears inside the machine, there are some square steel bars of varying lengths.

　　By guessing the trajectory of the gear movement, Leo can estimate how the machine will move. The rebar should show a certain regular movement, so that it can communicate with the gear and drive other rebars to make irregular movements. As for the effect and use of such a sport, Leo can't figure it out.

　　Perceived Leo’s sight, and Jean Valjean seemed to see his confidante. He turned to Leo and said with a smile: "I know you will immediately notice her when you come in. Is she a great beauty, right?"

　　 He heard that Jean Valjean used anthropomorphic, or female, to call a machine that occupies half a huge room, which left Leo for a moment without knowing how to answer each other’s questions. Can only follow the other party's words, divert the topic, pointing to the machine, said: "Can you tell me what this is?"

　　Ran Jean touched the machine excitedly and said, "She's called an array machine and it was my invention for many years."

　　 Even Jason couldn't help shivering and turned his head away from looking at this, while Martin was in a headache and didn't know what to say.

　　 "What's the role of the array machine?" Leo asked again.

"She is an enlarged calculator." Jean Valjean explained: "Don't you say that the calculator I made is defective? She won't have any defects~www.wuxiahere.com~ And she can calculate all Data to predict what will happen in the future?"

"That's not the same as the goddess of fate in mythology," Jason was also attracted. After hearing Jean Valjean's introduction, he couldn't help but interjected: "This thing is also shaped like a textile machine, and it is said that the fate of Beirut The goddess will use the loom to weave the future destiny of the world. Maybe the loom in the hand of the goddess is this thing."

　　 Jason's words instantly made Jean Valjean treat him as a confidant, even more than Leo, because he treated the machine in the same way, so he would call her a female title.

　　 It was just that this confidant sentiment had not lasted for thirty seconds, and was broken up by the next sentence Jason said. I saw Jason said, "Can this thing be used?"

　　Ranjean gave Jason a sullen glance, and then he said with a lack of confidence: "This machine has some minor problems that require further adjustments before it can be used."

"Okay! No one will appreciate this machine except you." Martin saw Jean Pin hit the Jean Valjean, and then returned the topic that had gone off course to the right direction, saying: "Take the weapon out! Our Time is tight, don't waste time on these unnecessary things."

Hearing Martin’s words, Jean Valjean didn’t refute, but snorted, and walked to a corner of the room. He pushed a box out with a large cart for dock transportation, and sent it in front of the three people. Open it and spread it on the ground so that the three can see every weapon in the box.

　　 When he saw these weapons clearly, Leo couldn't help but exclaim, followed Martin, who was a little ugly, and said: "No wonder you think these weapons are unqualified, these weapons are indeed not available to ordinary people."
