Chapter Seventy-Seven - The Detective of the Twilight Land 05
Situated between London and Cambridge, Shevolt was part of Sir Blois's hereditary territory, and unfortunately a few hours' drive from London. In the spacious stretch car www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, two Yuru's drivers and bodyguards sat in the front, while four people sat facing each other in the back. Originally, Sherlock had planned to take Watson with him, but he gave up for safety reasons. After all, Watson was already married, and Sherlock knew that it wasn't a good idea to risk his life with him.
After explaining the whole story for Yuru, she finally accepted this 'job'. After all, she is still working part-time in the 'Hunter Department', and if she has Her Majesty's order, she is not unable to participate. It's obviously impossible to get such a precious technician to participate in this 'extermination of xenomorphs', but it's no problem to just lead to Gear Street to find acquaintances... Probably.
Inexplicably, a team of four people was formed, and a team of fans composed of the Demon King, the Captain, the researcher and the detective began the first step in the crusade against the Raven Man. The Miss Detective of the Land of Twilight seems to be very unhappy with Yuru's inability to participate in the next crusade against the Ravens, perhaps in her opinion, Dior and John are not reliable guys.
Gear Street, the place that carries all the 'hope' of Britain in this century. It looks like a street typical of steampunk novels, with old-fashioned steam engines, unexplained machinery connected to gears, rusty brass and chimneys that constantly emit white smoke, and in a hundred years, it might be criticized for damaging the environment. And this Gear Street in London is completely different from any other street, it is almost impossible to see pedestrians on the street, only rows of storefronts of unknown purpose, most of them do not even have signs, rustic signs and props with "not for sale" labels.
That's right, this is Gear Street.
"As for Ph.D. Craigwen's expertise in bioengineering, Shevolt or Sir Blois, there's no such person here," Yuru said with a shrug, indifferently, "but I still have some of Dr. Craigwen's early research materials in my workshop here, and I might be able to help you in some way." ”
Under the protection of the two lifeless guards, several people came to Yuru's workshop. Like the other 'workshops' on Gear Street, it's narrow and uncomfortable. The two-story building and the basement space were filled with all kinds of equipment, and there was very little place to stay, and the workshop had accumulated a lot of dust, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Yuru expertly turned on the power supply in the workshop, swept the dust in front of the computer, and then projected the information she had on the dusty white screen. What she said was not wrong at all, there would be no researchers closely related to the aristocracy in Gear Street, the people here were all born commoners, and they relied on cheap research materials on Gear Street and the meager funding of the royal family to research their own inventions little by little. Gear Street used to be called Gear Street, but since Watt improved the steam engine, almost everything here has been powered by this ancient source of power, and it was not until a decade ago that it was widely converted to electricity with funding from the British Crown.
It happened to be when Yuru was born, and since the age of seven, she has been a household name as an 'inventor'. Even though at the time the things she had made were nothing more than boring 'toys', such as the hydraulically impulsive combat arm she now had in her hands... Due to the severe energy consumption, it is even necessary to carry the fuel cell on its back, so it has not been put into practical use so far. After that, Yuru also made a lot of improvements to the mechanical arm, and now this huge robotic arm that is completely out of harmony with her figure contains the most advanced technological power at this stage.
The miniaturized pulse detonation engine, the semi-solid fuel pipe after liquid high pressure, and the jaw-dropping thermal shock wave destruction device are all still in the experimental stage, and even the danger of exploding if they are not good, and Yuru has no worries about all of them. If her prediction was correct, this arm could even destroy the vehicle, but due to work, this arm remained in the workshop and had not been replaced.
"How's it going?
And John, who was beside her, was interested in the mechanical arm in Yuru's hand, squatted down and didn't care about his identity as a 'gentleman', grabbed Yuru's mechanical arm, and looked at it.
"It's a hydraulic impulse, isn't it? It's amazing, the palm is a complex mechanical structure, and there is even an internal nerve sensor, but then the force on the mechanical arm may be uneven, and the possibility of damage is high. ”
"That's right, is this just a half-finished product, I was thinking about doing an external dress action for a humanoid mecha, but then I injured my left hand because of the development of the engine, so I had to tear off the right hand of the mecha and modify it like this. ”
The wreckage of the humanoid mecha that Yuru said can still be seen in the corner of the workshop.
"I'm very proficient in this area, let me improve it if I can, now there is a new electronic muscle beam developed by the Ministry of Defense, which can greatly reduce the size and energy consumption at the expense of a very small part of the effort, and even has a built-in battery, so it is not impossible to make this hand look like a human. ”
John spared no effort to sell his own inventions. The profiteer's smile made Yuru shudder, like a hamster being targeted by a hound. But a shadow suddenly appeared behind John, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him aside amid John's exclamations, no need to ask, of course it was Dior.
"This girl is one of the harems that I have worked so hard to save, listen to JOJO, if you have any wrong thoughts about Yuru, I will send you to the German orthopedic department. ”
"So you like girls?" John looked surprised, "no wonder..."
"Shut up, ah, by the way, this M500 hasn't tasted human blood yet, do you want to give it a try?"
"Isn't that talking about knives and swords?
Dio kicked John in the ass, and John, who had finally won the girl's mouth, raised his hands in surrender.
"Stop me for a moment with your flirtatiousness, I've found something useful," Sherlock finally couldn't take it anymore and slapped the table and pointed to the message on the screen, "Craigwen's early work does have something to do with the Raven... It's unbelievable, could this rudimentary thing be made by that dead old man? It's unbelievable, but that's the truth. ”
"Is Craigwen's early work such a rough thing?" John touched his chin as he stared at the thing on the screen, "Not necessarily, in fact, werewolves were his work before he became famous." If it weren't for some of the people who had escaped from the lab, perhaps his name would not have been known. ”
"That's not the case, Dr. Craigwen was valued by the royal family long before my parents," Yuru said, turning her head, "My parents often talk about that doctor. Brilliant and brilliant, his status on Gear Street is almost equal to that of Miss Sherlock in the British detective world. If he made something as rudimentary as the Raven Man, he would destroy it as soon as possible. ”
"I can't say that Craigwen had nothing to do with it, but I'm sure it wasn't his doing," Dior asserted, "I've seen the old man, or rather the whole process of his fall into Soviet hands, and his laboratory was full of guns and all sorts of cultures." A creature as rough as the Raven Man doesn't have in it... Perhaps after Dr. Craigween left, someone entered his lab and stole some of his research. ”
She had actually contacted Jacqueline before and learned part of the story. The Raven Man is indeed Craigwen's creation, but it is not such a crude thing, perhaps this Raven Man is something that was copied from Dr. Craigwen's laboratory.
"I've thought of this possibility, but who else but Craigwen has this ability? We must find it as soon as possible," Sherlock said solemnly, "why don't we split up, I'll investigate the matter of the Raven Man and the creation behind it, Dr. Capek has trouble you to help." As for the Raven Man..."
"I'll go with Dior," Yuru raised his head and said, "It's just that Dio doesn't even have backup if he is alone, we have carried out missions together..."
"But you're now an important researcher in the UK. ”
"I'm also the Minister of Defense and the British Minister of Hunters, so it's natural for me to deal with this kind of thing, and I haven't taken it into account yet. ”
Yes, this little girl is also a member of the British Hunters' Department to hunt vampires and werewolves, and she is not some mascot who only sits in the command room and directs the country.
"You have to think about the future of Britain, and if you lose it, it will be a great loss for Britain. ”
"Lady Holmes, please don't put your values on me," said Yuru disgruntled at once, "it doesn't matter what happens to England, this country has never given me any attention when I lost my parents, nor has it ever given me a safe place to live, even for the sake of my parents. If I hadn't inherited the wisdom of my parents, I wouldn't be any different from the rats in the stinking gutter. I have no gratitude or attachment to this country, and my duty is the responsibility of the 'Hunters' Department, and I am the Supreme Commander of Great Britain, so please do not question my decision. ”
After Yuru finished speaking, Sherlock couldn't help but turn his face. Indeed, when such children have lost their parents and have no one to rely on, who cares for them? Dior is the same, and so is Yuru, who has relied on their own struggles to get on the road step by step, and they will not have the slightest gratitude to the British.
Forgive me, O God, for my rudeness. Sherlock took off his deer-hunting hat and bowed to the rain.
"I'm sorry if my words have angered you in any way. ”
"It doesn't matter, I have the same problem every day. Yuru didn't pay much attention to it.
"I respect your decision, then... Another researcher, are you going to go with them?"
“... Well, better that way. John nodded hurriedly, the purpose of his visit this time was to persuade Dior to let him join the "D-10" war department, how could he not show a little.
"Well, it's been a long time, I'll call my assistant over, you guys have to do it. ”
