Chapter 90: Genius
The Machinery Innovation Review was usually held in a hall near the city hall of Enser, but recently due to the upcoming Machinery Expo, the original venue could no longer accommodate the machinists who came to participate in the review, and it was replaced by the infield of the Machinery Expo, which has not yet been fully opened.
The reason is simple.
The Machinery Expo seems to be a grand event for the whole people, but those who can really participate in it naturally have to be mechanics, and since about a week ago, young mechanics with certain abilities from all over the Ryan Empire have gathered here one after another.
On the one hand, I want to see how far the top mechanical technology of this era has developed, and I hope to get inspiration from it and improve my own mechanical concept.
On the other hand, a considerable number of these young mechanics also want to make a name for themselves through this official stage, after all, it is no exaggeration to say that the city of Ense at this time period brings together nearly eighty percent of the famous mechanics in the country, and the Machinery Association has made it clear that the exhibition items of the expo have not yet been fully determined, and any valuable works may be included in the list before the official start of the fair.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for newcomers from all over the country to show themselves, once their works or ideas are valued and recognized by the Machinery Association, then it will be extremely beneficial to their future development.
It is precisely because of this that the innovation review meeting during this period will invite some high-ranking nobles like Donald to "stand on the field", whether it can be understood or not is one thing, at least it highlights the importance that the Machinery Association attaches to this.
"Do you know Roy Jackson?"
On the way to the Machinery Exposition site, Donald asked aloud, fiddling with a model of a steam engine he had bought at the station store.
"The genius inventor?"
Like most women, Pamela didn't have much interest in mechanics, but she had heard the name Roy Jackson.
Mechanic from Dmingham, developer of new airship technology, technological innovation of mechanical golems, innovation of whale oil technology...... The most amazing thing is that Roy Jackson is only 29 years old this year, and he may already be a master in other industries at this age, but in the field of machinery, he has so many achievements at this age, and he is undoubtedly a rare genius!
"Yes, it's him, you just said that I should participate in this review meeting, and I thought of this person...... Huxley has been working on some kind of industrial revolution in Renas recently, and you think if I get this guy over, can I speed it up?"
There is no doubt that Reynas's reforms could not be concealed from the Talos, and it is not surprising that Donald used this as a cover to inquire about Roy Jackson at this time.
"Master Sewitt, as far as I know, Mr. Jackson is currently one of the honorary members of the Mechanical Association of Ense, and he is also a participant in a number of research projects in the Empire, and the presiding officer, I am afraid that he cannot go back with you. ”
Regarding Donald's sudden question, Pamela was a little helpless to filter out the arrogance between his words and patiently explained.
"You're not him, how do you know if he's willing, and if I run into him then, I'll have to go up and say hello to him...... It's a pretty interesting gadget. ”
Leaning back in his seat and fiddling with the engine model, Donald deliberately emphasized his interest in him, because you won't let me find it, I have to try it.
As for why he was suddenly interested in Roy Jackson, the reason was naturally the message from Charis.
After meeting with the other Chosen last night and exchanging certain information, Charis immediately found an opportunity to reveal to them that she had a trustworthy follower in the city hall of Ense, and that she was also the person who had rescued her in Rock Castle before, and that she might be able to investigate further through him, according to the plan agreed upon with Donald before.
Yes, Donald never wanted to hide his relationship with Charis from the beginning.
You must know that Xia Ruisi is facing the Chosen One at this time, and in the face of these strong people with different abilities, she wants to forcibly conceal this connection, and the probability of being discovered is extremely high.
After all, Donald needs information from the Chosen One, and Charis also needs to know the government's movements, neither of them is an agent, and they don't know any Morse code, and they will never meet and exchange information more often in the future.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to spread things out, as long as Donald's true identity is concealed in the name of protecting his followers, naturally no one will suspect the head of Viscount Sewit of the Talos family.
This choice turned out to be quite correct.
Although Madame Red and the others were surprised, they did not mean to stop Xia Ruisi from spreading the information.
Their original plan was to somehow enter the city government of Ense or find a suitable candidate in it as their internal response in the government, but it was difficult to implement due to the limitations of status and funds, and now there are ready-made candidates in front of them, and no one will refuse.
The Lane Imperial Government will be transporting some of the special exhibits to the city of Ense in the near future, which is the information that Gui Lun has spent a lot of effort to obtain, and after this period of investigation, they have narrowed down the number of people who may take over this part of the exhibits or who will be involved with them to only a few people.
That night, Charris informed Donald of the list, hoping that he would use his identity to investigate.
However, after Donald got the list, he soon found out that almost all of them were high-ranking members of the city government and the high-ranking members of the Imperial government who had appeared in Ense because of the Machinery Fair.
Donald can't say that he can't see these people, with his status, he can easily enter the highest-level drinking party in Ense City, the problem is that the result of his forced entry now must be that Mayvis, who is also in it, has his personal freedom restricted and has been guarded throughout the whole process.
Even if it's sneaky, it can't be, because the reputation of the predecessor in the imperial capital is quite "loud", and he always has to show his identity when he meets people, and if he goes to contact the people on the list, he must have a sufficient reason, otherwise it will only attract suspicion.
So Donald wasn't prepared to rush to government officials until his image was reversed or he found the right opportunity, he was prepared to start with people who were more accessible.
In contrast, Roy Jackson has become Donald's primary target, the former as one of the important official mechanics of the machinery fair, has recently appeared in the expo venue, ordinary people may have difficulty seeing him, after all, the venue is not fully open, only people with ID can enter, but compared to Mavis is at the party, there is still some room for maneuver.
