Chapter 275: Layout

Melly O. Blaine had planned to disassemble the two-wheeled cart into parts, bundle it and take it in a public carriage to the steam salon where his friends frequented, but when Mr. Tuck learned of his idea, he persuaded him to ride his invention directly, and if it could attract the attention of passers-by on the way, it would not be inferior to advertising in the newspapers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The top student who graduated from Rotin College suddenly brightened his eyes, he raised his hands to welcome the good idea, and he was willing to listen, put down the wrench that was ready to disassemble the two-wheeled vehicle, and the crumpled work clothes were full of oil mud, but he couldn't wear them to meet guests, it was too rude.

Turning back to his home, he took out a set of formal clothes from the closet that had been prepared for a long time and had only been worn a few times, felt a little cold outside, and put on a black tweed coat.

The cuffs and elbows of the garment were a little thinner, but it was not a big problem, and when Merry O. Bryan got into his two-wheeled bicycle, waved goodbye to his good neighbor, Mr. Tuke, and repeated his promise.

Studying at Rodting's engineering school, he was able to argue and discuss with the professor about theoretical knowledge such as mechanical transmission and ratchet design and application, but when he put the theory into practice, he always felt as if he was lacking something, until he met Mr. Tuke, a senior blacksmith.

With more than 10 years of experience, he can always see the shortcomings, whether he is an assistant at work or a "tinkerer" who beats the side drum, he can provide constructive advice to himself.

A senior partner who owns 5 percent of the dry shares will definitely be able to meet the needs of Mr. Tuke to support his family, and the riveting job in the shipyard is not well paid, and after working all day, no matter how strong a person is, he will be exhausted, not to mention his hands, which will definitely be scrapped in a few years.

Slowly pedaling the two-wheeled wheeler's axle crank, the young mechanic wonders how he can expand his career after he surprises his friend and successfully picks up the bounty.

As the morning workers leave their warm homes, the new industrial city that has slept all night gradually wakes up, and more and more pedestrians on the road flow in the streets and alleys, gradually converging on the main road and walking briskly towards the factory area.

Melly O. Brian, riding a two-wheeled bicycle, held the handlebar with both hands, pressed his thumb on the trigger on the outer edge of the bell, and the crisp sound of the bell reminded the surrounding passers-by to avoid collision and injury.

Machinery, which used to be very rare, has recently been brought to the big stage of the street by inventions and creations, and most civilians and workers have become familiar with it.

The newspaper boys on the street shouted in search of customers, stomping their feet and shivering from time to time to keep their hungry bodies as warm as possible in the cold wind. Today's breakfast has not yet been settled, and if you don't sell the newspaper, you won't want to get the newspaper's meager remuneration, let alone eat a bite of hot porridge.

The freshly baked mechanical spider, using an advanced steam boiler, can catch up with the horses quickly, and after preparing for many experiments, it will be officially included in the army equipment sequence. ”

A batch of fresh fish and shrimp from the North Sea will arrive at the Chengnan Wharf Area tonight no later than tomorrow morning. ”

Good news, the Deritz Coal Mine in the west of Turbidity City has installed and commissioned a steam pumping machine to pump groundwater non-stop, increasing coal production by at least four times the daily output of coal. ”

The scavenger union launched a flat-bottomed boat made of stone and mud, which can only be used in inland waterways, the price is fair, and the supply is open, so please go to negotiate with interested parties. ”

......

As the two-wheeler passed through the intersection, the emaciated body trembling in the cold wind and the reddened face of the frozen newsboy saw that Merry O. Bryan was dressed extraordinarily, and immediately recognized him as a potential customer and rushed to solicit business.

"Sir, do you want to buy the newspaper? Today's headlines, you must like it. ”

The young mechanic watched the newsboy running with the two-wheeled car, and although he was in a hurry, he was willing to help, so he landed on the ground and forced the brakes, and reached out to beckon him.

The distance of the glide was a bit far, so far that it stopped at the next street corner and crossed the line a little. The paperboy's feet were pinned to the spot, and he began to hesitate, the rules of the newspaper, the rules that his peers must abide by in silence, if they violated the line, they might lose this hard-won job.

But Merry O. Bryan was beckoning, and the newsboy at the next street knew the rules and couldn't steal the business of his peers, but he walked over and crossed the line, what should he do?

When rules and regulations conflict, the customer's wishes come first. Remembering the rules of this newspaper, the newsboy, who was not greeted, flinched and solicited business from the passers-by around him.

Seeing his peers retreating, the newsboy, who was trotting all the way with the two-wheeled vehicle, successfully sold a newspaper with eight pages in all directions, and two copper fennigs fell safely into his pocket.

Merry O. Bryan hurriedly scanned the newspaper headlines, the mechanical spider driven by the steam boiler, his friends in the steam salon had heard rumors about it, it was only half a month ago, and he didn't expect it to be developed so quickly.

"It is said that he is the alchemy master of the Rotin Academy, and he is also a highly respected spellcaster, but his true identity is the wisdom of the noble Grand Duke, a small group of top elites who dedicate their wisdom and insight to give advice. ”

"The spoils of war from the Battle of Moon Island in the North Sea, the large fishing boats that went to sea from the cities of Xitu rushed to the sea one after another, and now there are fresh fish products arriving irregularly every day, buy a bucket of krill and use ice water to calm it, and eat something good these days to soothe the tormented stomach. ”

"Hmm...... The increase in daily production, which means that the price of coal sold in the market is going to fall, which is really good news for most people, but I think most merchants will work together to stabilize the price. Now that the coal guilds are all being established, the sharp rise and fall will not happen at all. ”

Silently chewing and digesting today's news of "Spark News", in addition to lamenting the rapid development of new technologies, ordinary people's eyes are too busy, but more intuitively feel the war dividends of the Battle of Beihai.

Even young mechanics who have not been in society for a long time will inevitably have ideas, not to mention the ambitious lords of the Western Soil, and on the day of the official birth of the steam mechanical spider, many big people came to watch the ceremony.

The "Spider" has a number of three-barreled combined guns, rapid-fire booming shells, and is hailed as a storm of destruction by the do-gooders.

Only the internal core members know that the steam mechanical spider still has a few hole cards that have not been exposed, and it is enough for their own use, if it is sold to allies, at least it is a cut version, and it will definitely be weakened again if it is sold to the international arms market.

Leaving the civilian area against the direction of the crowd, Merry O. Bryan rode a two-wheeled vehicle of his own invention and finally arrived at his destination in half an hour.

In the Staver district, where the rich gather, the land price is as high as 27 gold oumar per square meter, but there are still people who build huge mansions.

Among them were the upstarts who seized the opportunity in the process of industrialization - the main reason was that a large number of bankrupt and landless farmers went to the cities, factory owners took most of their profits while driving down their salaries and suddenly became rich, and there were also those engaged in gray area businesses, such as lightening the burden on the tax office, and the heads of dynamic social organizations, who successfully washed their hands and went ashore.

With the enactment of Prohibition within the Spanish and Turkish Customs Union, moonshiners, who had gone underground and amassed immense wealth due to their unimaginable profits, became the target of the latest real estate brokers in the Stafford District.

Merry O. Bryan's friend is also the second son of an aristocrat who has no inheritance rights, and the two met at Rotin College and formed a deep friendship, and he presided over the steam salon, and everyone who came and went had the same background and identity.

This small social circle is very closed, but it has no small influence in Eastwood, and even in the West-Turkish Customs Union, because the chief knight who is said to have one foot in the world, His Excellency Baron Aldrich Triss, is its biggest patron.

After the young mechanic wearing a bird's beak mask got out of the car, he suddenly found that his friend, who was used to going to bed late and getting up late, would still be hugging the very attractive hostess and lying on the bed to make up for sleep.

The hand that rang the doorbell slowly retracted, Merry O. Bryan didn't want to disturb his friend's rest time, he just turned around and saw the two-wheeled bicycle he had invented, the starting point of his career, the first real stepping stone on the road of life, and he didn't want to give up just like that.

Time does not stop waiting for those who are late, and there are countless examples of competitors coming up with excellent works at any time, and there are countless examples of winning the first place, and the young mechanic, remembering his meager income, has to devote most of it to his own inventions, and has to be reggled to stay in the civilian area closer to the factory.

He spread out his hands and looked at the originally white fingers, now full of yellowed calluses, and the Melgin Textile Mill where he worked, although he had been greeted by the boss and arranged for himself to engage in easy maintenance work, tedious and boring life, he had had enough.

Thinking of this, Merry O. Bryan clenched his fists, and the back of his hand was bruised, but the strength to shake the doorbell was just right, and it was obvious that his mood had returned to calm.

The part-time doorman had just had some simple breakfast in the kitchen, and when he heard the doorbell as if he had seen a ghost, he remembered his duty, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and immediately rushed to the front door.

"Wow!"

The door suddenly opened, and Merry O. Bryan furrowed his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and seeing the unfamiliar face of the person who opened the door, he couldn't continue to be angry.

"Merry O. Brian, come to visit His Excellency Ryan DeWitt. Excuse me, where is he now?"

The doorman turned his head to look at the butler who rushed to hear the news behind him, and got the prompt that his forehead agreed but shook his head in denial, on the contrary, the opposing action made his brain not enough, he was confused for a moment, remembered his identity, and quickly turned his head to face the guests who came to visit early in the morning.

"Dear master, Lord Ryan DeWitt, has not yet delivered to the maid's room the bell of hot water for washing your face, and if there is no urgency, Mr. Brian, you may wait a little in the drawing-room. ”

The doorman, who spoke appropriately, attracted the attention of the young mechanic, but only after a little more glance, his mind was full of two-wheeled things, so he did not think about it, and immediately agreed to it, and walked alone into the single-family mansion located at 174 Maple Street.

The three floors, a total of forty-eight rooms, half of which were occupied by guest rooms, were not financed by Ryan DeWitt, but the property of a bankrupt textile merchant, who was bought by the Scavengers' Union at an affordable price and handed over to Ryan DeWitt for an annual rent of 200 gold oumar.

The eldest son of Sir DeWitt, who has the grace of knowing Aldrich Triss, there are people in the circle who have a high status, but unfortunately they are not as lucky as him.

As for the return of the chief knight, both in public social occasions and in private discussions, it won the praise of observers, although there were also sour words.

Something like "200 gold oumar annual rent, just to offset the maintenance costs, is equivalent to giving Ryan DeWitt a mansion for nothing, what a lucky little guy." ”

The two-wheeled cart, whose wheels were splashed with ice slag and oil sludge, was pushed into the courtyard by the doorman and placed on the cobblestone path.

Melly O. Bryan was led by the butler into the vestibule of the main house, took off his coat and placed it on the coat rack at the entrance, and walked a few steps forward, the small living room with the staircase leading to the second floor.

Before the butt was seated, a maid carried a wooden plate full of small biscuits, cakes, and other breakfasts, as well as a cup of sweet hot tea on the coffee table.

The young mechanic, who had not felt hungry even though he had traveled for half an hour on a two-wheeled cart, took a raisin biscuit and sipped a milk tea with a small amount of honey in a sip of it.

At this moment, the staircase leading to the second floor creaked, and Merry O. Bryan looked up to see a burly brown bear's friend, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and walking down with the momentum of the earth shaking.

Dressed in his well-fitting pajamas, Ryan DeWitt's hands searched for the belts sewn on the sides, took a long, deep breath, tied a slipknot, and tightened his broad bear waist.

"Brian, my friend, something must have happened when he came to me so early...... Ahh

Yawned, the host of the steam salon, his dry eyes moistened slightly, "When I went downstairs, I saw a tricycle in the courtyard, which should be a means of transportation you invented." ”

"Your intentions, I know, just find someone to try, but looking at the confidence on your face, there should be no problem. ”

"It's only been three days since the award was released, and you're so fast. ”

Speaking to himself, Ryan DeWitt was much better spirited, and had not slept all night by the hostess last night, and had just been lying down for a long time when a friend came to visit.

Reaching out to the butler, he handed a bottle filled with milky white liquid, and when the cap was opened, the fragrant fragrance emitted condensed into a phantom of a horn, and Ryan DeWitt raised his head and drank it, and it didn't take long for the whole person to look uplifted, and his pale face suddenly glowed.

Seeing Merry O. Bryan's doubts, he immediately explained: "A gift from Lord Tris, an energy potion, a strange thing without any side effects, is said to come from the mage tower he inherited, a masterpiece of an ancient recipe. ”
