"Talent" is first of all a kind of material, and only when these materials are placed in the right position can they shine and release heat and give full play to their talents; On the contrary, if it is placed in an inappropriate position, it will inevitably cause the tragedy of "burning the piano and cooking the crane", and Roland's responsibility is to avoid this tragedy of wasting talents in his own country as much as possible.

Talented people often have distinctive personalities as well, and Leonid is a typical example.

On the airship bound for Krasburg, Roland spoke with the Mithril Warlock individually, asking him openly and honestly what his plans were for the future.

Leonid had been prepared for this question for a long time. Since freeing himself from the control of the devil Constantine, he has reconciled with his father, but the thought of what he has done in the past makes him feel guilty, his pride makes him shameless to stay in his hometown of Cell, and his competitive and withdrawn personality does not allow him to accompany his father to live in Krasbourg.

"I don't want to be labeled as the 'son of the Minister of Transport,' and I don't want to deal with people who tend to be inflammatory, a bad-tempered guy like me will offend people sooner or later if he stays in the capital, and my father will be a problem when the time comes, and if there is a quiet place where I can study mechanics, it would be better if no one cares who I am, and no one cares if I am human or not." Leonid expressed his wish, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"Mr. Matvey has long said that you are not suitable to work in the Ministry of Transportation, and I didn't think so at the time, but now it seems that you really know your son more than your father." Roland pondered for a moment, then said: "Next, your father will be in charge of the construction of transportation, and will also participate in the preparation of the construction of the Colasbourg School of Engineering and Technology, if you don't mind sharing some of the pressure for your father, I have several positions for you to choose from." ”

"You're going to send me to teach at the Institute of Engineering and Technology?" Leonid guessed as a matter of course.

Roland shook his head and smiled: "You have already said that you don't want to stay in Krasbourg, how can I force you to do something reluctant, now we have a state-of-the-art magic guide locomotive in Vares, and Mr. Matvey still has all the technical drawings of the locomotive in his hands, but he is too busy to personally guide the assembly and production of the locomotive, are you interested in inheriting your father's business?" ”

"Of course!" Leonid puffed up his chest, and there was a little more brilliance in his eyes, "Actually, I am no stranger to the construction of the magic locomotive, after all, I have watched my father disassemble and reassemble the locomotive countless times over the years, and I have also helped him to do it, the construction and function of each locomotive part are recorded in my mind, and I can imitate it without drawings, if His Highness gives me this work, I am not modest to say, maybe I can further improve it on the basis of my father's original design!" ”

Roland saw a long-lost fighting spirit in the eyes of this genius warlock. After many years of twists and turns, Leonid finally reached a consensus with his father on his career, which was not only conducive to the improvement of Wittgenstein's father-son relationship, but also to the railway industry in the Far East.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Leonid, in order to cooperate with your father's work, we urgently need to build a large factory specializing in the production of magic locomotives, the funds are raised by the China Development Bank, the technicians are mainly from the school founded by your father, and now there is a factory manager and a chief engineer, which position are you more interested in?"

Leonid grinned bitterly: "I don't know what to manage a factory, it's good to be able to manage myself, but it's not a problem in terms of technology." ”

"Well, the chief engineer of the locomotive factory is you, and I also plan to create a research institute attached to the locomotive factory that specializes in the research and development and improvement of the performance of magic locomotives, if you are interested, this matter will be handed over to you, calculate how much money needs to be invested in the early stage, and report to me in advance." Roland admonished.

"That's no problem, the preliminary work of the institute is nothing more than disassembling and analyzing my father's magic guide locomotive, copying the drawings and placing orders for various factories to produce parts, I need to recruit some mechanics, it would be better if I could hire a few mechanism warlocks as assistants, as for the funding...... I have some savings of my own, which should be able to cover the upfront expenses. Leonid looked confident.

Roland smiled and patiently explained: "The Magic Locomotive Factory and the affiliated research institute are both state-owned institutions, how can you let you pay out of pocket, it is better to do this, the China Development Bank invests in sixty percent of the holding research institute, and you take out private money to buy the remaining forty percent of the shares, if the cash is not enough, even if you are a technical shareholder, as the controlling party, I only take care of two things, one is to regularly audit the financial statements to ensure that the expenses are realized; The second is the expiration of the acceptance results, as long as there are no problems in these two links, the specific research and business operation are all up to you. ”

"I like the way we work together, where we have a lot of freedom and we don't get lost." Leonid nodded happily.

"The above are all related businesses of magic locomotives, I also noticed that you are very good at designing and manufacturing 'military constructs', before in the Evil Hidden Demon Tower, the golems and clockwork giants you created caused me a lot of trouble, if you are only allowed to engage in the research of magic locomotives, it will be a waste of your talent in the field of military constructs, are you interested in part-time research and development of military weapons outside of your main business?" Roland throws a decoy designed for Leonid.

"What kind of weapon is being designed?" Leonid really came to the spirit.

As Roland observed, Leonid's offer to engage in the study of magic locomotives was only based on his indebtedness to his father, and he wanted to make up for it as much as he could, when in fact he was really interested in military constructs.

"There is a 'Mecha Research Institute' controlled by the Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Koras in Baigull Harbor, which is currently the world's premier mechanical armor research and development center in the entire Vares, and it is also the first institution in Vares to apply mechanical armor to actual combat," Roland briefly described the situation of the Mecha Research Institute, and then turned to the topic, "However, whether it is the traditional 'Qualixu device' or the new ' I would like to appoint you as the deputy director of the Mecha Research Institute to assist Director Morozov in improving the mechanical armor so that it can adapt to a more complex land combat environment, only by taking out a cost-effective land combat mechanical armor, our 'Armored Knights' can be formed, do you have the confidence to undertake this vital strategic task? Roland put away his smile and looked solemnly into Leonid's eyes.
