After all the matters were negotiated, Professor Bedoli led everyone to inspect the busy scene of the research institute working overtime to make protective clothing.

Coming to a three-storey white laboratory building, the huge laboratory is like a factory under the bright and blazing gas light, and the experimenters wearing goggles and rubber gloves are skillfully cutting and welding the iron sheets.

Since plastic has not yet appeared in this era, the choice of non-breathable raw materials is limited, after all, whether it is cloth or leather goods, they are breathable.

That's why Professor Bedoli and his research team chose metal and rubber as materials to ensure the airtightness of the suit.

Bill carefully inspected the results of the research institute, and the main part of this protective clothing is surrounded by iron sheets in the shape of barrels, and the rubber is melted around the iron sheets at the joints, and the palms and soles of the hands are all wrapped with thick rubber, and a layer of steel wire mesh is also covered on the outside to ensure strength.

The most distinctive feature of the entire suit is the head, the entire hood is covered with a large steel helmet, in front of which is a whole curved tempered glass plate, and behind it are two thick black rubber hoses, connected to the oxygen tank.

Behind him were military and government officials, and Professor Bedoli began to explain.

"The crisis broke out suddenly, and the institute has only completed the production of ten sets of protective clothing so far. ”

"Originally, these ten sets of protective clothing were originally used as experimental supplies to verify the reliability of the method, so they ......"

"So this creates a bigger problem for special forces to infiltrate the Sivar mines. ”

Chief Charles frowned and picked up Professor Bedley's unspoken words.

"We need a lot of reliable protective clothing, and no one knows what this mutation is all about, and we don't know what happened to the soldiers and workers in the mining area, ten sets of protective clothing are simply not enough!"

"And you can't guarantee the quality of this thing, if a mutant touches it and there is a loophole, then won't we all become monsters?"

Not only Charles, but also the officers who accompanied him touched the protective suits with their hands and expressed their dissatisfaction, after all, they are the ones who will really be in danger, and no amount of beautiful words said by government officials can change the fact that they are just talking on paper.

Professor Bedoli grimaced, with a rough estimate.

"We will step up the production of more protective clothing, but the workmanship of each protective suit from cutting and cutting to splicing and forming needs to be very delicate, and the finished product must also be tested for tightness, and only after the inspection can we ...... the protective clothing"

"Two hundred sets, at least two hundred sets of protective clothing will be prepared for the next batch!"

Charles forcefully interrupted Professor Bedley, saying that although the institute is a respected institution in the eyes of the outside world, in the eyes of the military top brass with real power, they are a group of migrant workers.

"Although the Sivar mining area is currently under the management of the government of Jikronsi, which is under the pretext of construction and construction, the prolonged blockade will inevitably raise suspicions, not only of foreign powers and the Holy See, but also of large and small companies that rely on coal in Jikrancy. ”

"So this time, after we sent someone to infiltrate to understand the situation, we will carry out a large force sweep and carpet clean up all the mutated creatures!"

"I'll give you only a week, during which time the army will send special soldiers in civilian clothes to Ji Klangsi, and when the soldiers are assembled, I must see a sufficient number of protective suits for my soldiers to wear!"

Charles's voice was stern and unquestionable, and the momentum that had been honed on the battlefield for many years was now fully revealed, and Professor Bedoli hurriedly made a promise, vowing to make 200 sets of protective clothing by all means......

By the time they left the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences, it was already dark and the owls were cooing from the lampposts, and the people were leaving with their own hearts.

Naturally, Bill needed to take the Institute's car back to the northern industrial area, and before leaving, he swept his eyes over Shawei, wondering why the bearded sheriff was walking with the army.

Of course, he didn't rush up to say hello, Bill thought that Shawei's IQ was limited, and he might not continue to argue with him about the leak of information about the corpse shredding case in front of everyone.

The steam cart sped away under the inky sky, and the red moon watched the earth carelessly like a giant monster eye.

The black shadows of the trees quickly fell backwards from the side, and two bright headlights shone ahead, but there was only a faint light inside the car.

My head began to heat and dizziness again, and I smoothed back my somewhat long hair several times, trying to calm the throbbing and uneasiness that came from nowhere in my heart.

When his heart gradually returned to normal, Bill, who was sitting in the back seat, began to think about what important things he wanted to explain when he saw Lao Wei for a while, and he suddenly realized......

There are two eyes in the dark!

But when he reached out and blinked his eyelids, they had disappeared without a trace, making it difficult to tell if they were hallucinations or not.

In this case, Bill chooses to close his eyes and remain silent.

When the steam trucks finally made their way into the northern industrial zone, many factories still emit smoke at night, and the color is much heavier than during the day.

This is because some environmentalists have studied the fog-covered Brittus and published articles about the huge pollution caused by industrial exhaust gases, so the government during the aristocratic rule strictly required factories to control the emission of exhaust gases.

After capitalism came to power, this rule, although not explicitly abolished, became a non-existent rule, and as long as factories did not emit heavy smoke during the day, no one cared about the dark nights.

As a result, many factories in the northern industrial zone have formed this abnormal work rhythm, and it has become the norm for factories to emit white smoke during the day and black smoke at night.

Fortunately, Bill's factory is located at the foot of the mountain, far away from those factories with large emissions, so Lao Wei and others can live at the construction site and not be smoked by the dark sky and go home.

Of course, the boss of Langes and his younger brothers also moved their base camp to the factory, and on the surface, as the buyer of raw materials for the construction of the factory, he commanded the younger brother to work, and secretly carried out Bill's plan.

With Lao Wei and Langus looking at the factory together, Bill doesn't have to worry too much, with the support of Stafford's backing, ordinary people don't dare to come here to make trouble.

In the makeshift workers' dormitory, Bill wakes up Lao Wei and Langes, and quickly instructs them to make arrangements for the construction of the factory and publicize and manufacture plans for about a month.

The three of them stood outside, the dim kerosene lamp hanging on the left side of the eaves, the cool breeze blowing slowly, and it was the most comfortable time for Brittus.

"Bill, why did you come to the construction site to find us so late, before the research institute sent a car to pick you up, I thought you would go home directly after you were busy. ”

Lao Wei rubbed his eyes, he had been busy all day, and at the moment he was still sleepy-eyed and kept yawning.

Langus, who looked very greasy and sleek, was not as sleepy as Lao Wei, he took out a pre-rolled cigarette from his bosom and put it into a kerosene lamp to light it, and after giving way to Bill and Lao Wei and no one took it, he finally put it in his mouth.

"Bill should have something important to discuss with us in a hurry, could it be that the research institute suddenly approved our technology monopoly application?"

Bill shook his head calmly against the makeshift dorm room made of iron sheets.

"I'm coming to you so late because I'm leaving Brittus early tomorrow morning and I'll be back in about half a month, so I'll explain. ”

Williams and Langes were surprised to hear the news of Bill's sudden departure, but continued to listen attentively, and Langes even took a notepad out of his pocket.

"The factory is expected to be built in half a month, and the technology monopoly application will be approved soon, so I plan that the first batch of products in the factory will be human self-controlled two-wheeled vehicles. ”

"In terms of publicity, I asked the boss of Langus to go to the city to contact the new editor, and I have already said hello to them, and the new editor will advertise our products at any time. ”

"In terms of sales, I plan to use both newspaper shopping and store promotion at the same time, which means that customers who want to buy can order by writing a letter to the newspaper. ”

"At the same time, we also want to promote the self-controlled two-wheeled vehicles to the current car companies and even department stores, and ask them to help us sell things, because we don't sell steam cars, so the car companies will not be hostile to us. ”

Langes carefully wrote down Bill's words, and if he used to think that Bill had made so much money by luck, now he sincerely admires Bill.

And Lao Wei seemed to have a lot of doubts.

"Bill, isn't your dream to build a one-of-a-kind steam car that is ahead of its time, and is it possible that we should open a factory to produce only human-controlled two-wheeled vehicles?"

In the quiet night, only the sound of insects accompanied the three men who did not sleep at night under the kerosene lamp, Bill looked at Lao Wei's somewhat angry face, and sighed helplessly.

"We should not waste time now developing steam cars powered by ordinary steam engines, because they will soon become obsolete. ”

"Actually, I left Brittus this time because I was running around for this matter, because the institute found a new energy source that can replace coal and is 10,000 times more practical than coal. ”

"Of course, only the government and the research institute know about this, because there is a huge risk in the extraction of this resource, so until it can be safely exploited in large quantities, the government will hide this big news that can change the world again. ”

Facing the stunned old Wei, Bill very much wanted to take out the box of coal cores from the shadow space and show it to Lao Wei, but unfortunately now Bill couldn't open the space, so he had to give up.

However, he still patted Lao Wei's shoulder and used his thumb and index finger to make a length.

"Lao Wei, abandon the inherent thinking, new energy is only the size of one knuckle each, but it can provide the heat generated by two tons of coal, so you should have more design ideas at the moment, right?"

Lao Wei had not yet recovered from the mental shock, but Langus had already heard the huge business opportunity, he unconsciously swallowed his saliva and took a hard puff of cigarette, stumbling a few words out of his throat.

"Bill, then, does that mean our car factory is going to be the most high-end factory?"

"Those companies that are still working on steam engines, they ......"

Bill was amused when he saw Langes like this,

"Don't worry, they won't go bankrupt. ”

"It's just that we're going to take a different route, and our cars will be sold to people with real power and status, and their steam cars will become more and more popular, and they will become a substitute for everyone. ”

Raising his hand and looking at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, Bill patted Langes and Lao Wei on the shoulders respectively, and finally said two words.

"Okay, I should go home too, pack my bags and get ready to go, if anyone comes to the factory to look for me, just say I'm going out on a trip and I'll be back soon. ”

"Let's discuss things together, and we must take care of our factory!"

Under the light of the light in the darkness, Bill made a pact with the other two, and his fighting spirit burned like a torch, even smaller and greater in the calm night......

After driving home in the carriage, the lights were still on in Esther's room, and her whereabouts had become more and more strange lately.

Bill packed his bags, hid his two revolvers separately, and left a few gold pounds in front of the door of Esther's house, as well as a letter explaining that he was leaving temporarily.

Not knocking on a woman's door in the middle of the night is his respect for Esther.

Bill then drives to Rotterbeni Harbour with a salute and uncertainty about the future, starting a not-so-good memory......

......

Time passed quickly, and the calm sea was full of only seabirds following the steamer, and the blue sky was cloudless, except for the white mist that constantly spewed out under the whine of the steamship.

The sea is no stranger to Bill, he suddenly crossed into this world from the sea, and he also inexplicably crossed the extremely strange shadow world in the shipwreck.

Standing on the deck with many tourists and looking southwest, Bill can already see the familiar coal city of Jikransi.

Chief Charles climbed out of the cabin and walked over to Bill to see the sea with him, while Charles was dressed in casual clothes and dressed as an ordinary man who had come to Gui Clancy to do business.

"Mr. Cliff, you don't look nervous because you know a lot about it?"

With his arms crossed over the white railing, Charles pressed against his hat, which was a little loose from the sea breeze, and this was not the first time he had tried to communicate with Bill, as he had not been able to get more useful information from Professor Beddo.

Professor Bedley blames Bill for all of his problems, indicating that he and his assistant's job is only to repair and maintain the suit.

"It's okay, because I've seen it once before, and that thing isn't as difficult to deal with as you imagined, haven't you solved a lot of it before?"

Turning to lean against the guardrail, Bill said nonchalantly.

Charles's tone was a little complicated, he could feel that Bill was neither humble nor arrogant, and even had no intention of ignoring it, so he couldn't deal with the man in front of him like anyone else.

“...... It was all solved under certain conditions, and the thing was only temporarily untouchable, and it was also for the research institute to do follow-up research, and we have never really killed that thing. ”

"Mr. Cliff, do you think it really would be useful to use guns against the incomprehensible?"

The surging waters crashed against the steamer, the splashing waves set off a chill, and the gloom on Chief Charles's brow had been there since Bill first saw him, and it showed no sign of disappearing.

Bill squeezed the can in his hand and suddenly said something that Charles didn't understand at all.

"As long as this unfortunate event doesn't turn into a Resident Evil. ”

"Damn, Resident Evil Part 2 hasn't been released yet, I haven't seen how Alice saves the world, and I don't know if there's an antidote to the T virus!"

"Tsk, what a ridiculous world, and now I'm also the protagonist in Resident Evil......"
