Chapter 375: Gangdu Lulei
The roaring train ran non-stop across the vast territory of the Erebonian Empire, and the military and territorial demands gave birth to the largest and most complete railway network on the continent. The black railroad tracks are like the arteries of this empire, and a steady stream of materials, technology, and people flow and merge with this railroad track. At the same time, it also allows their legions to send soldiers to the battlefield as quickly as possible at the beginning of the war, one of the most valuable assets of the Erebonian Empire, which is a military power, and even the most mediocre emperor does not dare to relax the construction of the railway.
From Hamel all the way north, across the heavily guarded border, across dense forests. Although Ike himself is nominally wanted by Osborne, the Empire does not seem to have any intention of provoking this formidable adversary, and everything from the military to the common people has not been affected by Ike's presence. Come to think of it, it would be very unwise for an indestructive being to be an enemy of an indestructible being, especially when the things he wants to protect are far higher and existent, but because of this, Ike can still freely enter and leave Erebonia. Man is a strange creature, ordinary people may be deported or even never allowed to enter the country for a single violation of the rules, but the guy who has done countless bad things can sit in the first class of the train and swagger in and out of every place on this continent.
Searching is not an easy task, especially when the conditions are severely inadequate and the specific target is very good at stealing tracks, and the blind search is more of a waste of time, and the urgency of the matter in the conversation with Levi is more of a social rhetoric. No one but the designer himself can tell the exact time and place of what will happen in the future. In the three days after leaving Hamel, Ike was more like sightseeing than looking for it, taking a first-class train all the way from Hamel to the Empire, and with the sound of the ticket terminal, the train finally stopped at the heart of the Empire, the steel capital of Lulei.
If Chase Atelier prides itself on its cutting-edge technology and ideas, then Luray, the steel capital of the heart city, is also the heart of the city, and its strongest ability is to quickly mass-produce its products. No matter how cutting-edge technology is, once it cannot achieve mass production, then the cost of development and manufacturing will be difficult to get the support of the market, and in this regard, Luray deserves to become the strongest city in the empire and even the entire continent. The perfect assembly line of industrial supporting facilities, backed by the largest mine in the empire, the Zaxon Mine, and the stationing of R&D personnel and operators of countless industrial enterprises, allow the city to quickly put into mass production experiments as soon as excellent products appear. Especially in this city, there is also a monster-level company - the existence of Lane Forte, the largest industrial group, Lane Forte can even be said to be leading the trend of industrial development, is the top giant in the industrial world, and there is no general existence. Under the auspices of it, the Emperor and the Marquis of Rogner, Luray was transformed from an ordinary mining city into an industrial city comparable to Chase in a short period of time, and the story of its founder is still the talk of many business and industrial circles today.
Walking out of the station, the first thing that catches your eye is the rush of people, the high-rise buildings, the new streets, and the variety of shops that make it impossible to imagine that this is a city famous for its industry, and unlike the atmosphere of Chase, which seems to be filled with the smell of engine oil, the power of commerce is fully expressed here. As a place for the rich and noble, as well as high-class universities and hospitals, it is natural that it cannot simply exist as a workshop like Chase, so in terms of environment and residence, Luray can be regarded as one of the few cities in the mainland, with convenient commerce, advanced medical care, advanced scientific research and a clean environment, attracting countless dreamers who come to visitγγγγγ As well as spies.
"Although I know that you have a good mind when it comes to business... But it's too much. β
Located in a small commercial hall in the center of downtown Lure, Ike looked at the neat and bright room in front of him, and looked at the girl sitting opposite him who looked a little interested, and then stopped, "I remember that I just entered Erebonia?" It's only been less than two months, where did you get the house from? β
"Of course, it's a purchase. An investment in a house will never depreciate. As one of the heads of Erebonia, the girl Efina replied as a matter of course, "During the civil war, I took advantage of the fact that those guys who sold real estate because of panic bought some houses in good locations cheaply, not only in Lulei, but also in the public capital and the imperial capital, but considering the strength of Prime Minister Osborne, we still decided to set the location in Lulei, although there will be delays in the information, but at least it is safer than intuition, not to mention that there is Lane Foret as a cover." β
"Ryan Folter? Do they know that too? This place. β
"I don't know, I used a fake identity when buying a house, and I only traded with the simplest commodities, and there are several chambers of commerce in Luray every month, and the tail has been dealt with, as long as it is not like before, it should not be exposed." Effina made a gesture of money and replied, "Thanks to the Civil War, I have picked up a lot of good things in it, and if it weren't for the low profile, the Chamber of Commerce would have doubled in size now." β
"I don't think you're low-key right now, are you... Ike rarely showed a trace of helplessness, although he didn't know the market of the building, but from the furnishings and location of this room, it was worth a lot, a new Chamber of Commerce bought this house in such a short period of time, no matter how it looks, it doesn't look like it wants to be low-key.
"Don't judge business by what you think." Aifina rebuked with a look of contempt, and the aura of the shopping mall expert was exposed at this moment, "Lulei is a place where the weak eat the strong, although it looks like a flourishing flower, but I don't know how many businessmen close their doors every day, people will only remember the winners and ignore the losers, as a new Chamber of Commerce, it is easy to be squeezed out by the old Chamber of Commerce, and if you don't show your strength, you will be eaten clean by them." β
"Okay, you're an expert in this area, and you can say whatever you say." Seeing that Afina still wanted to speak at length, Ike hurriedly interrupted: "All in all, we're rich now, right?" β
"It's okay, if it's still the same as before." Efina replied with a slight regret.
"Ike, what are you here for?" Joseph, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke: "I heard from LΓ©vy that you went to Hamel?" β
"Huh?! Are you actually in touch? I thought that guy was going to be a hermit or something. β
"Not often, the other day was also a contact after a few months." Joseph looked at Ike with blazing eyes and replied, "Could it be that the apostle is in Luray?" β
"No, in fact, I don't know where the abyss is." Ike shrugged his shoulders and replied with a relaxed expression, "I'm just here to see people, and by the way, to see Ryan Fort." β
