Chapter 46: The Awkward Position of Industry

The development of industry has brought changes to the lives of the people of the Sun Empire on the Western continent, which can be regarded as a matter of benefiting people.

It's a pity that the deliberate smearing of the Helios Church and the people's ignorance of machinery and industry are so that the people can accept industry.

Widespread resistance to industry has led to factories not being able to be built in cities, or even close to urban areas.

And the only people who were willing to enter the factories to become workers were Raul, a group of veterans who had returned from the battlefields in the Far East and lost the glory and subsidies they deserved.

So in Raul's heart, there has always been an expectation that one day industry will be officially accepted by everyone.

Unfortunately, as long as there is a heliothesaur and a high divine power, it is very difficult to realize the expectations of the workers.

Everyone has an ambition in their hearts, and naturally Raul and other workers also have that ambition in their hearts.

Seeing that there was no hope of promoting industry, and that the pressure of the Helios cult was getting heavier and heavier, it was natural for the workers to think of resisting.

For a long time, revolt was just a thought in the hearts of the workers, but today, inspired by Murray, Raul finally decided that he wanted to really turn his idea into reality, and to tell all the people with practical actions how hateful the Helios cult's denigration of industry and machinery was, and to let the people see the true colors of the Holy See and the aristocracy.

Thinking of this, Raul looked at Murray beside him and said in a deep voice, "There are some things that must be done, but you must be careful. ”

Knowing Uncle Raul's intentions, Murray smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, with the help of those gangsters, everything will go a lot smoother." ”

Murray's idea is very simple, since there are the Holy See and the nobility on his head, then simply learn the methods of the royal family and the Holy See.

Use gangsters to break down those deeply rooted ideas, let the people see the true face of the imperial aristocracy and the Holy See, and justify the industry that really benefits the people.

Raul suddenly thought of something again, and reminded Murray again: "By the way, the arrival of Salia indicates that the empire may be going to attack Viscount Lane, and you also need to be careful not to be caught by the empire." ”

Murray asked with some surprise: "Uncle Raul, how do you know that the Empire is going to attack Viscount Lane? Although Viscount Lane is an industrial party, he doesn't seem to really subvert tradition, right? In my opinion, he is still a traditional Imperial nobleman, why does the Empire have to cut him? Is there no other reason for the royal family and the Holy See?"

Uncle Raul hesitated for a moment and said, "The reason is simple, because Viscount Lane owns two iron mines. ”

Seeing the sudden look in Murray's eyes, Uncle Raul continued: "In today's industrial development, the manufacture of machinery requires a large amount of raw iron, so iron ore can be said to be the lifeblood of the development of the Sun Empire today. ”

Hearing this, Murray was a little confused: "But uncle, since the empire needs industry, why do you want to slander industry as a devil?"

Uncle Raul shook his head with a wry smile: "That's because, with the development of industry, it will inevitably threaten the dominance of the ruling class of the empire and the Holy See, so it is necessary to suppress industry, so as to consolidate and maintain the absolute rule of divine power and imperial power." ”

Murray couldn't help muttering: "Well, it's really complicated, everything in the Dragon Kingdom is made by mechanical calculations, which can ensure the absolute fairness of everything." ”

Raul frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure that the mechanical operation will never go wrong?"

Seeing the doubts on the young man's face, he continued, "If it can't be wrong, how could that great mechanic betray you with a dragon?"

I have to say that Uncle Raul's two words shocked Mory, and planted two seeds of doubt in his heart.

The boy who had never questioned the mechanical master of the Dragon Kingdom before unconsciously began to question it at this time.

Will machines really be absolutely fair? Will machines really be completely infallible?

There are doubts, and naturally there is a trace of doubt about the social form of the dragon country that mechanically dominates people's fate.

However, this doubt only existed for a moment, and soon Murray dispelled the doubts in his heart and reaffirmed his faith.

At this moment, "Dangdangdang" was accompanied by a heavy knocking sound, and the eyes of the workers in the workshop were attracted.

I saw that in front of the door of the workshop, a guy with a delicate face in a suit and leather shoes said loudly: "Okay, you guys who serve the devil, come to a new life, come over and pour the outside batch of things into the smelting furnace, after smelting out the molten iron, you need to rush to work a new batch of mechanical staffs, this time the list is very large, and the time is relatively tight, after the completion of everyone will be paid three times the salary." ”

Most of the first half of the sentence made all the workers feel very unhappy, but when they heard the final "triple salary", the workers immediately came to their senses.

For most people in the factory, when there is no chance to rebel against fate, money is naturally the best medicine to fill the void in their hearts.

Soon, a few workers who had no work on their hands hurriedly walked outside the workshop, intending to move those things outside the workshop.

And the overseer in a suit and leather shoes standing at the door swept around the workshop, and when he saw Mori, he shouted, "Hey, that little handyman, you can also come over and help." ”

Murray whispered to Uncle Raul, "Uncle Raul, then I'll go first." ”

Uncle Raul didn't say much, still staring at the machine tool in front of him, just nodding slightly.

As he walked through the workshop, the wisdom in his eyes gradually receded, and when he came to the overseer, Moli put on a harmless face and asked with a smile, "Lord Overseer, can I collect some small parts?"

Apparently this was not the first time the overseer had heard such a request, and smiled and said, "Go, go, but remember, there are good things to leave for me." ”

Murry nodded heavily: "Thank you, don't worry, Murray will definitely find the best thing for you." ”

With that, he staggered past the overseer and quickly ran towards the pile of discarded mechanical staffs over there.

Together with several workers, they began to search through the piles of mechanical staffs, on the one hand, to classify them, and on the other hand, naturally, to find some usable small parts, even intact ones.

In the Empire, although the mechanical staff is now popular, the price of the mechanical staff in the market is still very high.

Therefore, whether it is the parts of the discarded mechanical staff, or some mechanical staffs that are barely usable, they will naturally become bestsellers in the black market.

For the workers in the factory, it is definitely a very good job to be able to dispose of piles of scrap mechanical staffs, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to make a lot of money.

Of course, for Murray, what he needs is different from others, he just needs some precision parts above the core.

Because the precision parts at the core are usually made by the Magic Workshop, and are not accessible to the Factory.

But for Murray, the core of those magic workshops is the key to unlocking the secrets of these magical machines in the Solar Empire.
