Daisy? When Richardson walked into the restaurant, her father, William? Richardson was sitting at the dining table with a thick stack of materials in front of him. The Roswell News, which had been delivered in the morning, was neatly folded and placed on the table, untouched.

"Dad, are you still tossing that steam locomotive?"

Daisy sat down at the table, took two slices of bread, and began to spread jam on them. Since the Gastens incident, she and her father have reconciled, and the communication between the two has become much more natural than usual.

"Well, after the miniaturization of the steam engine, the strength of the cylinder and the size of the steam boiler are not easy to control, if the boiler volume is too small, the steam margin is insufficient, the power is not continuous, the volume is too large and too heavy. Now that I think about it, your father's bragging at the time still didn't take it into consideration. ”

William? Richardson's recent efforts have focused on making steam locomotives. Since the last time that Daniel of Rand Machinery? After Rand drove a trackless steam locomotive to the festival, his immediate boss, Jeffrey Brown, the general manager of The Paper. Chaka is more energetic than Little Land, and the surging power company can also come up with corresponding products. William? Richardson was riding Daniel at the time? Rand's steam locomotive, he didn't think it was a difficult task. But now it seems that he apparently underestimated how difficult it would be to compress a huge steam railcar to the size of a horse-drawn carriage.

"Who let you brag about it, the technical strength of the Rand is already stronger than ours, and your boss won't send you a few more people, just let you do it alone, it's strange if you can do it."

Daisy finished smearing the jam, grabbed the newspaper on the table, opened it and read it. As before, the newspapers were full of things that glorified the merits of the emperor, and there was not much real news, and even if there were, it was very old. Daisy looked twice and threw the newspaper back on the table.

"Recently, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know how to do it, and he praises himself in the newspaper every day, is it interesting? It's been a long time since I've heard from the Mage Tower. Said he was going to marry Luna, Scott's first apprentice, on the day of the Fire Festival? Brewster, married some time ago to the commander of the Sixth Legion, Joe? McFaley, Daddy, do you know? ”

William, who was busy with work, answered without answering.

"And ah, the news in the newspapers is very time-sensitive, and a lot of the news is a week or two ago. The international version is full of old news and gossip, and it has lost its previous timeliness. I've heard that the church's communication circle is not used by the newspaper, and their news can only be transmitted by manpower, so it slows down? ”

"Seems to be."

William was absent-minded, he was sketching on a piece of paper, and in the morning the milk was set aside, and he also forgot to drink it.

"Daddy!"

Daisy talked to herself for a while, then called out to William. William looked up with a puzzled expression, "Hey, why didn't you go to school today?" ”

"I told you I didn't have classes today!" Daisy was frustrated with her father, who was thinking off the line as soon as she put her time into work, so she put the newspaper on the table and snatched it from William's hand.

"Have you read those articles by Gastens? How does it feel? ”

When Gastens left, he left Daisy with a thick pile of manuscripts, which he had written in surprise for the past two days. He hopes that Daisy can find a suitable channel to send it out, but it really can't, and if possible, he can reissue "Fluorite". Daisy herself has read those articles, mainly analyzing the shortcomings of the semi-serfdom and semi-capitalist system with the characteristics of Anken Rein's empire, and the class oppression behind it, which is very in-depth and in place, which makes Daisy break out in a cold sweat. After reading it, she felt the need to let her father take a look at it, so she gave it to William.

"Oh, that's it."

William became serious at this time, he took a sip of milk, and said, "Daisy, I want to talk to you about this matter, Gastens is not an ordinary person, and his understanding of the nature of the world is very surprising to me, even if most of it comes from Huney?" Master Havari's "On Capital", but I have never seen such a person who can combine the theories in the book with the reality of our country so well. From the articles you gave me, I can see what he wants to do, and that is not something that ordinary people can do with ordinary consciousness. Do you know what it means if you were to follow him in his path? ”

"I know", Daisy nodded, her expression equally serious, "Father, you have always said that serfdom is the root cause of the country's decay and backwardness, and my brother listened to your words and gave his life for the abolition of serfdom. I didn't understand it for a long time, but I knew you were doing the right thing. There are some things in this world that are like this, and they are right, but it is very difficult to do and requires a lot of effort, even the whole of a person, including life. And even then, it doesn't necessarily work out. He, Gastens is just a small serf, if you want to talk about salvation, he has such a powerful knowledge of the steam engine, as long as he works in your company with peace of mind, he will definitely be able to live a good life and even become a nobleman. But he is not, and the things he is doing now are not so much for himself, but for the thousands of serfs and workers in this country. It was a spirit that ordinary people did not have, and this spirit attracted me and made me decide to follow him, to follow him. Father, you have seen him too, do you think his path is worth following me? ”

William was silent, he put down his work and turned his head to look out the window. Autumn is numbered, the trees are withering, the gray-white sky is cloudy, and it is impossible to see the road ahead. It took a long time for William to give his answer.

"If people can pursue something, it is better than not pursuing it and indulging in the trivial things of life. I don't know if you and Gastens are on the right path, but I won't stop you, if you need it, I will help you, it doesn't mean that I support you, it's just that I want to see what kind of changes your path can bring to the world. ”

Daisy smiled when she heard her father's reply. She stood up, walked behind her father and squeezed his shoulder, "Dad, there is something that I need your help with." ”

"Oh, what is it?" William reached out and pressed Daisy's hand and sighed softly.

"I want to get EZVIZ back in publication."

——————————

It was not as easy as imagined to republish "Fluorite", and since seeing Gastens's attitude towards doing things, Daisy has deeply realized how superficial and casual her previous communist work was. Now she has decided to continue her chosen path with the utmost zeal and the highest prudence and care. She wanted to make "Fluorite" a real underground publication.

The most critical thing to print a newspaper is the mimeograph machine. The previous mimeograph machine was built by a group of students at Roseville University, and although it was simple and fast, it was inevitable that it would leak secrets. Daisy asked her father, William, to use the leftovers of her usual work in her studio to pull out a small mimeograph machine little by little. And, thanks to William? With the addition of Richardson, the volume, weight and printing efficiency of this mimeograph machine have been improved to a certain extent, and it is not worse than those models on the market.

After getting the mimeograph machine, the next step is the venue. Daisy uses the fake identity left by Gastens to buy a warehouse on the border between Easte and Downtown. This warehouse is located next to the production hall of a textile mill, there is a lot of noise around it, there are almost no residents, and if the mimeograph machine and the textile mill start working at the same time, there will hardly be any superfluous sound that will be noticed. Daisy and his father dismantled the mimeograph machine, divided it into parts, transported it to the warehouse one by one, and reassembled it to successfully produce it in the small warehouse.

After the field and the machine, there is ink and paper. There's really nothing Daisy can do about it, she needs more manpower. However, the last time the communist group was left in a mess meant that someone in the group must have been pressured to betray their classmates. Therefore, Daisy did not dare and could not re-establish her own communist group without investigation, and she thought twice and found Karen in the school whose research on "On Capital" was approved by Gastens? Hasselhoff.

"Daisy."

Follow Daisy to a no-man's corner of the school in the backwoods, Karen? Hasselhoff hurriedly asked, "Daisy, I've always wanted to find you, but I didn't dare. Last time, the policemen told me that if I participated in such an event again, my parents would be unemployed, and my family would not know any big names, and if that was the case, we would not even be able to eat. Don't blame me, the address of the printing plant is really not what I said......"

"Who's that?"

Daisy wanted to ask Karen about his wishes, but found that he seemed to know something, so she followed his wishes.

"I ...... I do not know. Karen's eyes were evasive, and there was clearly something inside.

"You don't know or don't dare to say? Now that the emperor has granted amnesty to the world, we are all innocent, and those policemen will not trouble you. And if I don't even know who is talking about it, what if he cheats me again next time? Can you bear to see me betrayed? ”

"That ......", Karen seemed to be moved by Daisy's words, he hesitated for a moment and spat out a name.

"It's Stephen".

"Stephen? Vivian? ”

Daisy repeated, remembering the silent classmate. He didn't have a strong presence in the communist group, and seemed to follow Bradley? Lan Ning came with him.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Karen? Hasselhoff bowed heavily, then took his leave. Daisy froze in place for a moment, realizing that most of her classmates were unreliable. Her mind was spinning rapidly, and suddenly she thought of someone again.

Houston? Raleigh. This first-year student had just joined his group and was unfamiliar with many things. If there was one person in the group who was not suspected of betrayal, it would have to be him.

"Daisy-senpai!"

Houston? Raleigh was so happy to see Daisy that he was so excited that he even took Daisy's hand and walked a few steps before realizing that his behavior was inappropriate. Daisy led him to a small classroom where no one was around, and asked him how he was doing.

"It's okay, they arrested me before, and my parents were so worried that they almost got into a fight with them. But then the amnesty came, and it was fine. My parents have been asking about the newspaper recently, saying that the newspaper is very good, but unfortunately it is gone. Sister Daisy, did you ask me to say that the newspaper is going to start printing again? ”

Looking at Houston's expectant eyes, Daisy hesitated a little, she thought about it and continued to ask.

"Aren't you afraid? Caught again? ”

"I'm afraid," Houston didn't hide, "but it's the right thing to do, isn't it?" Communism can make my family better and make my parents less hard, doesn't it? ”

Hearing Houston's answer, Daisy decides to believe him. She straightened out her thoughts and began to talk to Houston about what Houston needed to do in the reissue of "Fluorite".

————————

Houston's parents helped Daisy with her paper and ink problems. They seem to know some paper mill people who can get some leftovers. As for the content of the newspaper, Daisy decided to make two issues with the manuscript left by Gastens first, and then slowly collect the material. Her current position of "Fluorite" is an underground publication from time to time, so the pressure of manuscript collection is not so great.

Getting everything done, Daisy also borrowed from the risk diversification mechanism that Gastens had mentioned to her. Houston and his parents were only responsible for supplying the material and did not know where to print it. Daisy was in charge of the content arrangement and proofreading, all in her home, with all the equipment hidden in the secret compartment of her father's studio. In this way, if the printing workshop is discovered, it will not be associated with "Fluorite". After the first newspapers were printed, Daisy and his father borrowed an unmarked carriage and traveled to a neighboring city, where they were sent back to the workers' quarters of the major factories through the post office.

"Dad, I don't know what's going on at the front now."

On the way back, Luna sits next to her father and watches him drive. Although an aristocrat, but William? Richardson's driving skills are not bad. He skillfully controls the direction while chatting with Daisy.

"I don't know, the news I can get is official, saying it's going well. However, some time ago there were rumors that the enemy threw in soldiers in full armor to disperse our attack, and there was also news that something seemed to have happened to the Sixth Army, and I don't know if it was true or not. ”

"The Sixth Legion? Isn't that the regiment that Garth is in? Will Garth be okay? ”

"I don't know, but if you're worried, I can ask someone."

"That's for the best, thank you, father."

"I see, that kid is no ordinary man, and instead of worrying about him, you might as well think about how these newspapers will be distributed next time. After this issue of our newspaper is issued, it will definitely attract the attention of those police, and this method can be used once or twice, but it cannot be used often. Now that Gastens is gone, it's not as easy as you think to continue what he started. ”

Daisy was silent. Her father was right, even if "Fluorite" was only an irregular underground publication, it needed a relatively stable distribution channel. Only in this way can the alarm bell reach the ears of more people. But Daisy thought about it, but she couldn't think of a good way. At the same time, she was still worried about Gastens, who had not been heard from so far, and couldn't help but become anxious for a while. Seeing this, William reached out and gently stroked her hair, soothing her emotions.

"It's not so easy to do, take your time and don't rush."

"Yes."

Daisy bit her lip and leaned on her father's shoulder. The carriage of the two creaked on the road connecting the cities, like Daisy's erratic mood.
