294. The True Master
After they used deception, bribery, rumors, and false accusations to completely defeat the old forces of the Lin family, they began to use tough tactics to buy real estate and other resource-based enterprises in the mining city, and got involved in the foundry industry and monopolized finance.
This move allowed the entire faction of the Lin family to occupy the economic lifeline of the mining city, not to mention the rolling financial resources, and also established a high reputation for the soft power under its name, and even the proportion of control over the guard troops was redivided from the other two.
Wherever it is related to people's livelihood and infrastructure construction, they will also participate in it to some extent, and at this time, the masters of the three royal families all know each other in their hearts.
Who is the real owner of Mine City? This matter is also clear to only a few elite aristocrats.
The nominal control of almost all the industries and all aspects of society in this place is still controlled by these nobles, but those old guys know very well that the real owner of the entire mining city has long since changed hands.
No matter what era or what the world, as long as there are people, there will be open and secret struggles for rights, and everyone calls them "rivers and lakes".
In addition to the three royal families, the patriarchs of the other nobles are also ** lakes and big connoisseurs, and if these obvious relationships can't be seen through, they will simply live in vain.
On the surface, the power of the Mine City seems to have not changed, the Turner family has almost monopolized the commerce of the entire region, the Domino family has dominated the technology and manufacturing industry, and the Lin family's financial industry and countless related industries have also remained unchanged, only the invisible things have changed - those rumors that catch the wind and shadows.
Not to mention the upper-class family that dominates the industrial economy of the entire mining city, it is the Lin family's financial industry that has been taken over by a mysterious organization, and its huge influence makes the little nobles daunting.
They're not stupid either.
Don't know who's calling the shots? I wonder who rules this place? It doesn't matter, follow the flow of money, that's right.
But whenever the Lin family has an order, the little nobles dare not disobey, like grass on the wall, they rush to it. What's more, there are also the Turner family and the Domino family in front of them, and the survival of the little nobles also lies in this.
Just like the huge state apparatus, once it is activated, it will inevitably crush the extravagance and ambition of some people.
"Dengdenden—"
Joyna led the Monica sisters down the spiral staircase, through three security gates and spiraling passages, and directly to the interior of the grand building.
A special elevator door opened, and Joyna and the others walked in.
The sprawling complex in the central area of the mining castle was originally owned by the nobles of the Gosan family, and was a landmark and symbol of prosperity in the area, but a few months ago, the entire 40-story and above buildings belonged to an institution called "Kobu".
The surrounding precision manufacturing factory, which originally belonged to the Domino family, is also completely owned by "Guangwu" at this moment, which is not a malicious encroachment or hegemonic acquisition, but a huge amount of money used by Daddy to exchange it.
In my father's opinion, this little money is just a number, and you can earn it back as much as you spend. And with his shrewd business acumen, it is impossible to make a bad deal.
Ordinary people felt little about such a change, and for them, it was just another boring game of asset swapping under the control of the aristocracy.
After Joyna and the others descended into the building, the passage above them slowly rose up, closed with a clatter, and from the outside, it returned to the equipment room on the roof.
There are many guards at the top of the trapezoidal pyramid-like structure, and not far away there are four new altar-like things, and there are four rounded square exits on them, and the gate on the top floor usually does not open - it is a passage for the newly developed large drone.
This drone is also a new gadget developed by Patton and the Domino family, with a pure white fuselage in the form of a regular block, with a special coating on the surface to prevent the metal from being twisted by low-temperature plastic variables when flying at high altitudes, causing brittle fracture of the fuselage.
It can be used for agriculture and forestry operations, and it can also be used to strengthen defenses.
Several prototypes of drones have been produced, copied and improved according to the drawings of previous civilizations, which look like they are attached to the body of a small car, with four large plates as thick as tires and a diameter of 2 or 3 meters, and propellers of high-carbon alloy in the plates.
Originally, Barton wanted to create a new material with the addition of cobalt, but the manufacturing equipment was still difficult to meet the smelting conditions, so he had to replace it with ordinary alloys.
His ultimate dream is to use the olive-shaped anti-gravity device found in the Domino family's warehouse, with the intelligent brain system, to install it into the fuselage to build an epoch-making new drone or manned aircraft.
He had heard the ghost say that something called "m-particles" was capable of generating anti-gravity energy and was extremely high-tech.
But there were too many problems to be solved, and neither the manufacturing methods nor the theoretical equipment could meet the needs, so he had to give up copying the olive-shaped device, and his dream could only be put aside.
Even so, these large drones that were made first are enough to make people stunned.
He knew very well in his heart that compared to that young man, his level was simply self-ashamed.
Fortunately, at the critical moment of research and development, the Domino family sent some very capable guys to help him, and formed several small scientific research teams.
It is said that they spent a lot of money to recruit talents from the scholar organization of "Infinite Energy", and there are several very capable people who are proficient in aviation technology left over from the pre-civilization era.
The elevator door opened, and the sound of the heel hitting the metal floor gradually became clear, and three hot beauties walked through the open passage towards Barton's research center.
The heavily armed guards turned their faces when they saw the blocked floodgates open, but when they saw Joyna with a grim face, everyone was not surprised in the slightest, but instead held their breath and stood up straight.
At this time, Barton was entertaining an unusual guest, the appearance of this person solved many of Barton's problems, and his advanced knowledge of physics and biology was even more powerful than the level of Long Ping and Mr. Ghost.
And this person's ability is not only reflected in his knowledge structure, his body is also very special, and he seems to have some extraordinary ability.
Joyna had felt this person's presence from afar, and she knew that this person had been waiting for her today.
His name was Su Zhe, and he had come here from somewhere in the far north, and he was another man who was struck by the power of his master.
Sometimes, Joyna even had a feeling that Su Zhe was also a human left over from a previous civilization, and it was very simple to make this judgment, the aura exuded by this person's body was so different, although he didn't say it explicitly.
He understands things that are too complex, too profound, and almost omniscient. Except for her master, she had never seen a human being in this world with such profound knowledge as he was.
Why did this person recognize herself as an experimental subject of the "Titan Project" as soon as he saw her?
What exactly is the purpose of the crystals on his forehead?
And his taciturn men, who looked strange and seemed reluctant to make contact.
This guy is simply mysterious!
Sister Monica's body transformation plan was implemented with his help and guidance, and today, she is going to take the sisters to show Su Zhe the results of the phase.
Today, she wants to take this opportunity to investigate in detail, because she feels that as a member of the "Titan Project", Su Zhe knows something that has a lot to do with herself, and may be able to solve the problems that have plagued her for a long time, whether he wants to say it or not, it is worth trying.
Barton was pestering Su Zhe at the moment, asking him about the material. At their feet, huge robotic arms were waving in the air, electric fires were shining in the glass-enclosed space, and a prototype drone was being assembled underneath.
The door to the studio opened, and three women appeared in the door at the same time.
"Queen Joyna!" A teenager's voice rang out, and it was Fett who first noticed the three figures that appeared in front of the door.
He looked behind her with some confusion, he had never seen these two beautiful twin sisters before.
Barton and Su Zhe turned their heads at the same time, stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"Who am I...... What wind is blowing you here? ”
Barton smiled a little awkwardly, he was right, Joyna was indeed blown by the wind.
"Thank you for making the battle suit, it looks like it fits." Joyna smiled at her chin.
"I just took the opportunity to experiment with the new material, and the bacteria that Mr. Ghost cultivated are the source of the suit's effect."
Barton jumped off the test bench and brushed his white stubble with his hands.
"By the way, is the ghost still in his lab? I'm going to have Workshop 2 mass-produce the alloy materials for these suits, and I'm going to need his cute blue bacteria! ”
"Uh-no...... He's out there on a mission, and I'm about to tell you about this, there's been some ...... in this place lately," Joyna's words were a little unnatural, and then she closed her eyes slightly and shook her head.
"Yes, you made it! These two are the Monica sisters who were reborn after transplanting their memories, right? Su Zhe walked slowly from the test bench with a smile on his face.
Joyna nodded, waving at Sister Monica.
"It's okay, it's just that the memories of their previous human bodies don't seem to have been completely erased, and now it's a little confusing."
Su Zhe's forehead lit up with a faint light, and he stretched out his palm to Anna and Yi Fang and said, "Give me your hands." ”
"Huh?"
Anna was slightly stunned, turned her head to look at Joyna, and the other party nodded.
Seeing this, the two sisters had no worries, and stretched out their arms at the same time.
Su Zhe stretched out his hand and held their hands separately, and the light on his forehead suddenly became much stronger, "Yes, the bloodthirsty physique has been eliminated, um- they still seem to have your genetic components?" ”
"Yes, I need my power to multiply their body cells and repair their bodies."
"Oh, replace those eroded cells with your somatic cells? No wonder, it turned out to be like this...... "Su Zhe was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"What? Isn't that right? This is the method that the master told me before leaving. Joyna asked with a strange look in her eyes and a frown.
"Oh no, I just thought about my previous experiments - well, forget it, let's not talk about that."
After speaking, Su Zhe closed his eyes, and the light on his forehead shone again, and something like a symbol appeared in the light.
Joyna had heard him say that these symbols, called runes, were made up of energy that suppressed the bloodthirsty physique, but she didn't know why she was doing it now, and she didn't dare to ask more.
Su Zhe obviously hides a lot of secrets, but since the master asked him to come to the mining city to find him, there must be a reason.
It is impossible for Joyna to know that the person in front of her, Su Zhe, is the chief scientist who once led the "Titan Project".
And the true meaning of this plan will definitely shock her when she says it.
