Open-air proving ground.

An intricate chain of iron cables hung from the intricate iron towers, and a busy crowd of ants was busy in them. At the center of the venue is a huge iron box made of metal spliced together and several stories high.

A man with a leather mask condescendingly commanded: "Start the preparations!" ”

As soon as the words fell, people pushed the levers in their hands in turn, only to hear a buzzing sound, and at the bottom of the three balls in the shape of a hot pot, a dark red fire appeared in the ringed oil and gas pipes.

The steam swirled, the yellow gears snapped into each other, the red and white dials spun wildly, and the tooth-aching sound could be heard all over the machine.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The piston rolled up and down, and only a click was heard, and the V-shaped crack cracked in the middle, and the entire iron box instantly split into a head and upper limbs, making the "iron box" transform into a self-propelled giant individual soldier.

The head of the giant Ymir is shaped from the helmet of a Spartan warrior, and two black crystal glasses with copper edges can be faintly seen in the cross-shaped cracks. Six yellow arms are pulled apart from the side, each with three double-jointed fingers. It had two towering chimneys on each shoulder, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

"Did it work?"

The whole workshop was noisy. Saint-Yves, who had come to inspect the site, also craned his neck.

Rumble!

The fully automated, human-driven individual rolling track charged forward, easily breaking the restraints used to test strength, and the six arms pointed forward in two triangles, spewing out a hot oil vapor flame.

A crimson, viscous flame covered the stone and sand, still dancing wildly, showing no signs of extinguishing.

The heat made the staff retreat.

"Turn it off! Turn it off! ”

Saint-Yves shouted.

One by one, the levers were pulled down again, and the fierce and wild giant soldier full of steam artifacts closed its arms and stopped.

"It worked!"

There was a cheer from the crowd.

Saint-Yves breathed a sigh of relief, cheers rang out, and people threw their masks or something into the sky to express their excitement.

The first fully automatic individual soldier powered by eight triathlon balls, the combat purpose is to attack the fortified position of a large-scale war, an absolute fortress of war.

Although it is unlikely that such a single soldier will be put into mass production for various reasons, the giant Ymir is still no problem as Enfield's signature individual soldier for the next five or even ten years, and it is destined to go down in history and attract more capital investment. In fact, the profitability of Enfield as a whole has been declining for several years, and the success of the giant Ymir's development is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Saint-Yves.

The vicious weapon of war stood silently in place, the flames under his feet not extinguished, and the original position of the V-shaped crack was replaced by an intricately shaped turbine fan, which allowed Enfield to overcome the problem of overload caused by the overpower of the "Giant Ymir".

As for the developers of this design......

"You did it, Chang."

Robert hugged Chang Yu excitedly.

"No, I've only been involved in a small part of the design. The credit is everyone's. ”

Chang Yu's expression didn't look excited.

"But you really made him move, you are the soul of this design, without you, we would not have been able to make it to the World's Fair in London."

Hearing this, Chang Yu had a little more expression on his face.

Robert tugged at Chang Yu's sleeve: "Hey, Your Excellency Saint-Yves is here." ”

"Rotter, Chang, you really didn't disappoint me."

Chang Yu stared at Saint-Yves with a smile on his face seriously: "Your Excellency, do you remember your promise?" ”

"Hmm."

Saint-Yves bowed his head.

Chang Yu's face changed suddenly, and his tone became excited: "Do you want to regret it?" Excellency? ”

Saint-Yves looked at Chang Yu and suddenly burst into laughter, he reached out and hammered Chang Yu's chest: "Chang, you Chinese really can't make jokes, of course I remember my promise, this fair, you will speak on behalf of Ron Feld as an assistant." I'm going to draw up the list. ”

Chang Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Excellency Saint-Yves. ”

As he spoke, Chang Yu turned to look at the huge single soldier standing in the wilderness, his mood seemed to be the dawn of the sun, and he didn't even listen to Saint-Yve's chattering that he would give him a large bonus and give him higher treatment.

"Your Excellency."

The assistant hurriedly walked over: "Agent Duke from the Pinkerton Detective Agency has arrived at your office, hoping to see you." ”

Saint-Yves raised his eyebrows: "Viper Detective Duke Verand? ”

————————————————

Duke Wellon was very handsome, with a tall nose bridge and knife-like straight features, but his eyes were too narrow and made him look a lot softer.

"Hello, Your Excellency Saint-Yves, I have heard of your name when I was working in New York. Oh, thanks. ”

Saint-Yves took two glasses of red wine, handed one of them to Duke, and then sat back in his place. He looked down at the registration license on his desk, which had a photo of Duke Verand and fingerprints, and took a sip of the red wine in his hand before pushing it back.

Viper Detective Duke Verand, even though the Pinkerton Detective Agency is known for being radical and harsh in fighting crime, Viper Agent Duke Veran is still known throughout Pinkerton for his unscrupulous means. In order to hunt down fugitives, he would kidnap the fugitives' families as a threat and, if necessary, disregard the lives of innocent people.

Despite many similar egregious behaviors, Duke Valeant is still favored by many employers because of its efficient case detection rate.

"If you're here for the gang fire that happened at the docks a while ago, you should send your agents to Chinatown to inquire about the news, not a law-abiding businessman."

"You misunderstood, Your Excellency."

Duke Veran shrugged his shoulders: "I was indeed entrusted to resolve the conflict between Halcyon and the Odonic Brotherhood a while ago, but for some reason, I traveled all the way to San Francisco by boat, but the commission was canceled. ”

"That means you're running for nothing."

"Not really."

Duke Veran took out two photos, it was Zhen Lian and Liang Hui.

Saint-Yves glanced at him casually and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"You'll get to know them very quickly, when there are large numbers of Chinese in your factories who start to go on strike."

"What?"

Saint-Yves' eyes widened.

"There are tens of thousands of Chinese laborers in this city, and more than two-thirds of the factories employ Chinese, because the factory owners can keep their wages very low, even a third of that of white laborers, and if Chinese really have a large-scale strike movement, I think it will be unbearable for you. But ......"

Agent Duke had a smile on his face: "If you are willing to hire the Pinkerton Detective Agency, I will solve this problem for you, and even the entire factory owner of San Francisco." ”
