Chapter 37: Terrace Chat (I)
At the dinner that night when Bei Ming had dinner with his mother and grandmother on the second floor, Duke Xinglan did not eat with them, he and Ye Yun came out of the study in a hurry and went out.
Bei Ming returned to his room after eating, and began to tinker with the mechanical power arm, and repaired the power arm that was broken before.
Since you remember, let's do it! Beiming immediately began to flip through the books and check the information.
In the end, I came to the conclusion: I can't do it.
The power part of Tony's Ark Reactor will definitely not be able to be made, and it can be replaced with obsidian, which is not a big problem. The difficulty is the material part, the material of the power arm used now is only the most common material, and to make a battle armor, you must find the hardest material, otherwise you don't dare to fight, you are afraid of bumping it, and there is no point in building this battle armor.
The most difficult thing is the material of shock absorption, from the information I learned that this world is a particularly powerful material for earthquake resistance, many emperors or well-known ministers have used these materials in their armor, but Beiming does not have much hope, because this material is really too little, and the materials on these people's armor are only a small part, and they want to use this material on the entire set of armor to collect half a lifetime;
After tossing for a long time, I could only give up temporarily, thinking that I would go to the Military Engineering Research Institute in two days to draw some materials for the cow pen, and first upgrade the mechanical power arm in my hand.
Bei Ming was "clanging" tossing the power arm, and at this time, Duke Xinglan came back, and he immediately informed Hope's housekeeper and asked Bei Ming to go to the study to find him in half an hour.
Beiming was also puzzled when he received the housekeeper's notice, looking at the watch at more than 11 o'clock in the evening, what are you looking for him at this point, don't think about it for half an hour, take advantage of this time not to be sleepy, it will be bad if you fall asleep again after half an hour, so he walked towards the study with a question mark.
"Knock knock, knock knock"
"Come in. The voice of Duke Xinglan came from the study.
Beiming pushed the door and entered, and saw Duke Xinglan taking off his coat, and said while taking it off: "Why did you come here so early, I also said to take a shower first." Since you're here, I'll tell you first, and when you're done, go back and rest early. ”
Bei Ming shook his head, stood there honestly and said, "I'm fine now, I'm not sleepy, you can go take a bath first, don't worry." ”
In the end, Duke Xinglan didn't go to take a bath, he made a pot of tea and took Beiming to the terrace outside. Now the weather in the holy capital is pleasant, and it is just right to wear a single coat, and the two of them sit on the stool on the terrace and drink tea.
On the terrace are the flowers that Beiming's grandmother took care of, and when he was a child, Beiming secretly picked two from time to time, and gave them to Pu Xiuwen to let him send hibiscus sand, and now I remember that I still put a lot of effort into Pu Xiuwen's happiness.
It was almost zero o'clock now, and when I looked up at the stars in the sky, the entire holy capital fell into a deep sleep, and only the street lamps still lit on the street seemed to tell the prosperity of the city.
"Father, what are you looking for me? Could it be that there is any change on the side of the Magic Guild?" Bei Ming poured tea for Xinglan first, and then poured it for himself, and couldn't help but ask Xinglan first in the process of pouring tea.
"It's not your business, those people in the Magic Guild are so easy to settle down, and the people who feel different and different all day long are actually a bunch of fools who have never seen the world. Xinglan picked up the teacup and blew on it.
"That's why, it must be urgent, or you wouldn't have called me at this time. Bei Ming also picked up the teacup and looked at Duke Xinglan.
"You know that the director of the Western Bureau was assassinated today, right?"
"Well, I heard it today. ”
"The matter has been investigated, and it is directed at me. Xinglan sighed and continued: "The news of the establishment of the Magic Security Department yesterday has spread, such a big thing is unprecedented, this time the two of us have removed the bottoms of the Magic Guild...-Pants, the old-school magicians of the Magic Guild are naturally not convinced, and it is expected that they will make trouble." ”
"Is it a warning? Get rid of the director of the West Bureau this time, and I can get rid of you next time?" is that what it means?" Bei Ming asked after taking a sip of tea.
"You've only seen half of it, the threat is on the one hand, and the other is to embarrass me, I assigned the Department of Magical Security to the West Bureau, and everything is led by the West Bureau. The next day, they came to the next day and directly killed the leader who was responsible for governing them. Xinglan said and poured himself another cup of tea, then looked up and asked Beiming, "Do you still want it?"
Bei Ming hurriedly handed over the cup and asked, "Has the assassin been found?"
"Found it. Xinglan put down the teapot after the tea, then picked up a cigarette, skillfully lit it, then spit out a long smoke, squinted his eyes and said: "They gave me a dismissal, and I also gave them a reply, an hour after the incident, it was found out that it was done by several high-level magicians in the province of Xindia, and they were all killed before I went home just now, in the name of the Ministry of Magic Security! ”
Bei Ming instantly felt a chill, is this the power of the state apparatus? The assassination of an official of this level must have been carefully planned, and in this world where there is no video record, no GPS, and no Beidou satellite, the murderer can be found in an hour? Yes, maybe these magicians are not murderers at all, the purpose is to detain this basin to the magic union, what is the truth, who would want to know? It's a pity that an official of the imperial court, how many years does it take to climb to this position, and now he has sacrificed himself for this big plan, which is a pity.
Thinking of the dead director of the West Bureau, Bei Ming said with a look of pity: "It's a pity that the pillars of the country, your right-hand man, how hard it is to cultivate another one." I feel that this should be left to the police department, and with the strength of the police department to admit death, it will definitely disgust the magic union. ”
Xinglan spat out the smoke ring, snuffed out the cigarette and said, "Why is it a pity? It's not a pity at all, people who eat inside and outside will die on the streets sooner or later!"
This sentence made Bei Ming's hair stand on end! He said in surprise: "This, this, this borrowing a knife to kill people?" Bei Ming felt that his political ability had to go up several levels tonight, and this hand borrowed a knife to kill people was really high!
"I won't go into detail about him, just remember that to keep your subordinates loyal, you have to help him deal with things that he can't do, so that your enemies don't have a chance. If one day he swells, remember to solve it without hesitation, the backyard fire is the most distressing. Xinglan looked at Bei Ming and said earnestly.
Bei Ming nodded silently, not knowing what to say.
"I thought that the Magic Guild would make a move, so I let the West Bureau take over, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. This is the most appropriate thing for the police department to do, and I will give a notice tomorrow for the police department to take over. Xinglan smiled and nodded, "It seems that you know a little bit about the political situation, grow up quickly, and let your father and me enjoy the blessings when the time comes, and take your mother back to the fiefdom to retire." ”
As soon as Bei Ming heard this, he immediately remembered the plot in the TV series and movies, as long as someone said that he would not live long if he was retired, he hurriedly said: "What is Xiu, don't have this idea, such rich experience, let me be a consultant in the future, hahahahahaha." ”
"I'll give you....hahahaha" Xinglan also laughed happily.
