Chapter 30: The Lane Ford Store

Since he was in distress in a dream on that day, Duchamp has spent a lot of time studying the brain defense system.

Now that he has mastered some small tricks, he can add some small instructions to it himself. For example, in the "deception" mode for dealing with psychic intrusion, he adds many scenarios and options such as "I'm just out to make soy sauce", which can be called up at any time depending on the situation. In addition, according to his instructions, a labyrinth is slowly being built inside the firewall, which, once completed, can greatly slow down the speed of mental incursion. In the "Tasks" sub-column, the task system is also slowly being optimized.

In addition, in the sandbox, there is a new mission, and several pieces of broken spiritual power are lying inside. A cracker is carefully cracking these broken intrusive files.

Judging from the detection results of that day, it can be determined that the owner of these spiritual powers is not near the White Wave Pavilion, and Duchamp can't imagine what method the mysterious person used to track down Rien, and he also succeeded in luring Duchamp to turn off the detection system. As soon as he thought of this, Duchamp couldn't help but feel creepy, and he couldn't bear to imagine the tragic fate of being put on the dissecting table.

Right now, this brain domain is like a big mess of construction sites, and construction is going on everywhere.

Duchamp clicked on one of the system's hidden icons to enter a pattern matrix password, and after entering the correct password, he entered a unique folder containing files related to his old memories that the system had sorted out. Photos of parents, memories of dead friends, painful study career, endless tutoring, stove-like Olympiad, endless anime, endless games, classic songs, favorite movies, Japanese-style action movies...... He browsed the names of these folders, and couldn't help but regret that there was no folder called "heroine", which was probably the biggest regret in his previous life. This regret must be fulfilled in this life.

One by one, he looked at the two-dimensional portraits of the heroines in this world. Little Ai-en, or Joshua is more suitable for her. The princess - it's a pity that she has short hair. Miss--too serious. Tita - Primary school student. Sky thief sister - so spicy. Theo - looks good, the appearance of Lori is mature inside, and there are a pair of majestic cat's eyes. Speaking of staring at the majestic and high-spirited, it seems that Fairy Layla is also like this! Sister Xianleila, it's not small, it's just a mouthful of "you don't have the heart of a warrior", which makes people sound annoying.

Thinking about the attitude of Sister Xianleila towards Lu and Lien, the difference is too big.

Thinking of the sore spot, Duchamp tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, he thought angrily, why didn't he get the hidden attribute of Luo Ye's 'winner in life'. He struggled for a long time before he fell asleep groggily.

After breakfast the next day, everyone went straight to the central square, intending to enjoy the charm of this industrial capital.

Almost every city on the mainland of Semria has a central square, which is usually the most prosperous part of the city. But Rurey's central square is unlike any other city, and the shops around the square are showcasing what the city is most proud of: manufacturing achievements. The largest and most obvious building facing the central plaza is the Ryan Ford Club Complex, which is marked with the 'RF'.

Entering the store, Li En couldn't wait to lean over to the children's toys, Xian Leila followed closely every inch, and Duchamp and Lu went to consult the bulk of the guide products.

Lu couldn't help but swallow when he saw the various guiding weapons on the counter.

"Sir, the goods at this counter are all military products, and you must have proof of purchase permit before you can purchase them." Miss shopping guide friendly reminder.

I asked a few counters in a row, and among the guiding equipment, only simple daily necessities such as heaters and portable lamps did not have any restrictions, and most of the other items were placed here to show off and show off the strength of the Lane Ford Company.

Although it could not be bought, the shopping guide still met Duchamp's request and showed the latest tactical detractor. After seeing the real thing, Duchamp and Lu's face immediately showed a look of disappointment. Lu has seen the tactical guide that Duchamp has modified, and the one held by the shopping guide is obviously the original product before the modification.

Miss shopping guide with a pleasant voice, the latest tactical guide said: "This is a new type of tactical guide successfully developed by Lane Ford in 1193, it integrates the technology of the Epstein consortium and the innovation of Lane Ford Society, so that users can quickly master the use of tactical guide in a convenient way, and do not need to be like the old Epstein power guide, need professional and technical personnel according to each user to carry out a large number of debugging work, this improvement, As a result, tactical guides were quickly spread to the army and police in the Empire, greatly improving the individual combat capabilities of the Empire's elites. ”

Duchamp's facial muscles twitched violently, and as a result, the type of magic that each tactical force guide could unleash would be greatly reduced, and it was debatable whether this was a technological advancement or a regression. However, this also seems to be quite in line with the usual style of the Empire, simple and crude, relying on the tactics of crowds, to achieve an overwhelming victory in overwhelming numbers.

Tactical power guides also need proof of purchase, but Lu and Duchamp didn't like such a product at all, and the two of them went for the same commodity that men liked.

"This product is the latest product developed by the company Lane Ford, and due to the scarcity of stock quantity, it is currently only supplied to nobles and dignitaries."

In front of the guide car, hearing this, Duchamp almost turned his back on his breath, he waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, we won't look at it, please ask the manager on your behalf, if you order from Lane Ford Company, what kind of procedures are required." ”

The shopping guide could not answer such questions, so she invited them to the manager's room, where the manager personally received them.

"The ordinary guide car needs to pay a 10% deposit in advance and then wait for the arrival, but there are so many people who place orders at present, even if you place an order now, you will have to wait at least a year for it to arrive." Said the manager.

Lu frowned, it was rare to have a large cargo that he had taken a fancy to.

"If there are so many people ordering, why not increase production?"

"Huh." The manager lifted his glasses, "That's the problem." Because Lane Ford is also the largest military supplier in the empire, it must give priority to ensuring military orders, and in recent years, the orders of the emperor have been very strong, and civilian products can only be put a little put. ”

Duchamp and the road looked at each other.

He still didn't give up, and tried to ask: "I have been learning the principle of conductivity by myself, and recently I have some ideas, and I want to try to develop something new. ”

The manager groaned for a while and said, "Maybe you should try your luck at Lulei University of Technology, where the professor has a great passion for developing new conductive products." ”

In the end, Duchamp bought two small and delicate field conductive heaters in the civilian conductive product area. Carrying a huge amount of money and not being able to spend it made Duchamp feel very unhappy.

After coming out of the Lane Ford store, Cinella and Lane went back to the hotel to rest. Duchamp and Lu carefully investigated the other types of shops and workshops in the city, and finally came to the conclusion that not only the conductive technology and most of the conductive products could not be bought, but even some necessary industrial materials and parts could not be bought, and even if Duchamp had the technology, he could not make them because of the lack of materials.

After touching the ashes of his nose, Duchamp was depressed, and his dream of a guided empire was lost.

Lu Youxin comforted him, turned around a few times, and really came up with a solution.

"We're completely confused about this place, or we'll find a local snake and ask."

"But where are we going to find the serpent?" Duchamp asked dejectedly.

"Don't worry, I have a way." The road is confidently walking towards a small hotel.

After five minutes, he exchanged fifty meters for the addresses of several intelligence merchants in the city.

"Well, this kind of small hotel will work." Lu grinned.

The innkeeper was not sure what they wanted to inquire about, so he had to list all the names and addresses of the intelligence merchants he knew.

Duchamp looked at the several addresses on the note, pointed to one of them, and said, "That's it." ”

Lu frowned and looked at the one selected by Duchamp: "No. 298 in the air corridor, the entrance of tomorrow's block, the night bar." Why this? ”

Duchamp looked at the map of Rurey and pointed out to him: "The map indicates that the neighborhood of Tomorrow is the workers' community of the Lane Ford Society, and perhaps it will be more familiar with industry." ”

Lu nodded in agreement, and the two walked along the ramp towards the north of the city.

The north of the city of Lulei was originally a large area of stone hills, which was a dead end for a city, but due to the power of industry and the ingenuity of the urban design, it has become an excellent scenery. A large open space at the top of the hill was carved out as a commanding administrative district of the city. In fact, it is no wonder that in ancient times, such a dangerous place was originally an excellent place to build a lord's mansion.

More than 20 years ago, after the construction of the Sky Corridor connecting the hills and the construction of the magnificent Lineford Tower on top of the Lane Ford Building, local trading companies rushed to build towers on the upper floors of the city, as if they did not have a say in the city.

As soon as this atmosphere opened, all the people who go to Lulei today can see the scenery of Cloudsdale from a distance of a few hundred sails.

However, no matter how tall these houses are built, they can't compare to the headquarters of Lineford in the middle of the upper floor. is the true master of the city.

This air corridor is in accordance with the mountain of Lulei, excavated on the side of the mountain, and used a large number of steel bridges as a connection, only to completely connect the upper hills of Lulei, can pass the guide car in both directions, is the city scenery that Lulei people are proud of, and is also a miracle work of architects.

It is said that when the Reienford Society, as the industrial overlord of the Empire, paid for the construction of this passage and the towering guiding ladder, its intention was to make all those who came to Rulei only look up to the city, and thus the feeling of "I came, I saw, I was impressed".

Their purpose was achieved.

Since walking on this air corridor, even Duchamp, who claims to be well-informed, can't help but let out a voice of admiration: "It's really a panic to burn money!" ”
