"Lord Jackson, why are you here?"

The leader trotted all the way from the side, smiling like a flower on his face, and he couldn't see the exhaustion before.

The speed of this change of face made Donald next to him look at Stephanie a little uncomfortably.

"The mechanical golems are about to be shipped to the airship, I'll check where they are in advance, you can go and get busy, don't worry about me. ”

After waving his hand casually and nodding to Donald and the others, Jackson moved away from the position where the glass collided.

Turn to the circular corridor on the left, and next to it is a metal wall, but somehow hollowed out some ornaments in the shape of patterns and waves.

In the original design of the new airship, it should be a simple protective iron net, because the middle of the entire airship has a space of about 10 meters high and nearly 100 square meters, which is used as a place for passengers to stop and communicate, as well as dances, cocktail parties and other banquets.

Ordinary iron mesh has become these delicate hollow patterns, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is a subsequent modification by some people.

"It's still the same as before, pursuing these flashy things without principle...... But it's still pleasing to the eye, and it doesn't seem to be so undesirable. ”

Stretching out his hand and stroking a pattern that looks like a rose, there is no touch, just a trace along the edge.

However, when Jackson's hand was released, the rose had transformed into a fish at some point, and it came to life.

His manipulator is naturally not what outsiders think.

On the other hand, due to the sudden appearance of Roy Jackson, the topic naturally turned to him.

"Are we lucky? Such a large airboat happened to bump into Lord Jackson. ”

I only saw a report about him in the newspaper not long ago, and this is a real person, which is somewhat unreal.

If it were to be replaced by some scholars in the field of mechanics, I am afraid that at this time, I would tremble with excitement, just like the guide in front of me.

For Donald and others, however, it was just a bit of a surprise.

"If I'm not mistaken, he was holding a cup of hot chocolate drink in his mechanical hand just now, he can hold things, and he can hold it very steadily, so he has a mechanical prosthetic now?"

This was said to the person next to him, and judging from his attitude just now, this gentleman should be an admirer of Roy Jackson or something.

"You misunderstood, Lord Jackson's robot is not a product made from equipment. ”

"It's not made out of the device...... Handmade? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

That level of manipulator is done by hand, and Donald can't imagine what props should be used anyway.

"That's Mr. Jackson's natural ability, it is said that after he drank the talent potion, his hand suddenly became like this, all the flesh on his right arm was transformed into machinery, as long as he touched the metal, he could make them become what he wanted, such a talent is simply the existence that every mechanic dreams of. ”

The mutation of the arm is still such an obvious change, it is almost impossible to hide it from others, so Roy Jackson directly told others the truth of the facts.

Instead, it reduces the number of inquiring eyes.

"Do you remember what Lord Jackson said just now, that God's omniscience and omnipotence is nothing more than a compliment made up by his followers...... Sounds like he's a little unfriendly to the gods?"

Stephanie wanted to say disrespect, but the admirers were in front of her, and some words were difficult to say in person, so she had to temporarily change the word.

"Perhaps, after all, Dmingham is a non-religious area, and many natives do not have a comprehensive understanding of religion, so it is not uncommon to have such thoughts. ”

"Miss Quinn is actually right, the top three things that Lord Jackson hates are the gods and those who come from the belief area, stubborn people, I heard that his background is not very good, and his parents are extremely devout believers, so let him study religion from an early age, as a genius in mechanics, he was forced to learn something that seemed meaningless to him, you can imagine how painful it was. ”

Donald glanced in some surprise at the guide who knew everything about Roy Jackson as a child, which was all too clear.

"Is it true that accomplished scientists don't believe much in God, or is it only in the non-faith areas of the Empire?"

Hearing what happened to Roy Jackson in the same year reminded Stephani of other things.

"I don't know this, but some of the scholars on Whale Island have several followers of the literary sect, and their scholarship is undoubtedly very good...... In fact, compared to the academic world, the merchants and some politicians in the empire were the merchants who did not like the gods very much, the former because many regions were often unable to accept some goods that were in high demand in other regions because of their beliefs, and the latter were dissatisfied with the unwarranted distribution of power to some common people. ”

Staring at Stephanie in a daze, the words in the mouth of the guide became more and more, and the introduction gradually deteriorated from the beginning.

Stephanie was familiar with this kind of gaze, and she responded with a crisp response, going straight to the side and grabbing Donald's arm, who was looking at some of the mechanical fixtures on top of the glass corner.

So after an unspeakably awkward silence, their familiarization with the venue this time suddenly sped up a lot......

**

The government was so busy with the ceremony of the new airship that an emergency meeting was held within the rival business alliance for this purpose.

There is no way, Whale Island is a place controlled by the government, and the ceremony is also held by the government, so they will naturally be ostracized, and in recent days, the government-led propaganda has deliberately downplayed the existence of business alliances, as if the battle for control of the new airship industry has been settled.

"We can't go on like this, the government's momentum has reached this point, if we are so silent, we will really become a person who goes on an airboat for sightseeing the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, which of you likes to go, I can't afford to lose this person...... Defeated without a fight, I haven't been so aggrieved in business for so many years. ”

A fat man with a rich face sat on a wide chair cushioned with velvet and trimmed with gold and silver, and wore a ring full of precious stones on his five fingers, and a cigar larger than his finger was between his fingers.

Sandy Lewis, president of the Ocean Chamber of Commerce, was originally just a small HNA company, and it is said that he made his fortune by fishing for sunken ships, a typical nouveau riche.

He wore the most luxuries, but among the few people in this room, he could only sit in the lower seat.

"So what is Mr. Lewis going to do? Tell me about your plan, are we going to go to the door of the government to protest their tricks, or are we going to have the government take down the newspapers and then hold a press conference to tell the people that the new airship industry has not yet decided to belong?"

To the right of Sandy Lewis, a tall, thin middle-aged man sat looking at Lewis, and the sarcasm in his tone could not be more obvious.

"I ...... I'm not in a hurry, in just a few days, if we don't have a plan, this thing will really leave us. ”

In other words, if someone dared to talk to him like this in his own chamber of commerce, the cigar in his hand would have been smashed on that person's face, but here, he could only wronged himself and forcibly endured it.

Because it was Fax Maxwell, the president of Maxwell's shipyard, and a veteran of Dmingham, who was talking to him, he gave him a lot of gifts in order to enter this business alliance.

"Now the momentum of the government is quite unstoppable, at this time to fight a war of public opinion with them, it must be too late, the new airship is in their hands, our side naturally has a disadvantage, all the people present are allies, there is nothing to hide in this regard, this time the negotiations on the new airship...... There is a high probability of defeat on our side. ”

Sitting on the throne was an old man with gray hair, who already had some age spots on his cheeks, and his eyes were unconsciously squinting when he spoke, obviously old.

The president of Lenny Machinery, Stryley Lenny, he sits in this position not only because of the strength of the Chamber of Commerce, but also because he is the elder of everyone present, not to mention that his years of experience in business warfare make him a pillar of the business alliance.

"So what should we do? We discussed and discussed here, and we came to the conclusion that we were going to lose?"

He took a puff of his cigar, and the smoke poured out of his nostrils and mouth, and spread over his cheeks, and he kept pretending to be a grandson, and he wanted to get a piece of the pie, only to tell him that he didn't even have a mouthful of soup, and those little eyes hid behind the smoke and looked at the people in front of him.

I have already greeted their whole family in my heart.

"Your Excellency, don't sell it, since you called us here, there must be a reason, if it is doomed to failure, our meeting this time will have no meaning at all. ”

Compared to Lewis's irritability, the person next to him was much calmer.

"Since the negotiations are bound to fail, then we can't let the negotiations go smoothly, I have a way, it depends on whether you are willing to try it or not. ”

Sitting on the bench, Slimley Lenny's eyelids were raised, and the light was in the middle.

"Don't let the negotiations go smoothly...... This is only a means to delay the defeat, and when the new airship cruise is over, the prestige of the government will inevitably skyrocket again, and when the time comes for a second negotiation, we will not be able to win. ”

Fax Maxwell looked at Strylie Lenny, naturally he didn't say a word about this matter of vital interests, he had to know why.

"I can assure you that as long as it goes according to the plan I have made, this ceremony will be a turning point, when if you don't get what you want, all the losses will be compensated by Lenny Machinery...... 100% compensation!"

Fingers tapped on the tabletop, and several people walked out behind them, each carrying a tray containing scrolls.
