Chapter 35 Technology Transfer
Leaving the monastery, almost an hour later, the bishop's carriage returned to Hagia Sophia. After changing back into his own outfit, Yalei ordered everyone to go back first, he still had something to do.
Seeing the Black Throne slowly disappear from view, Bishop Ike impatiently grabbed the Black Knight's arm and walked to the ruins of the temple, wanting to show off his latest achievements.
Slowly but firmly pushed the hand away: "Ike, is it really good for you to do this?"
"What do you mean, do you think my research is wrong?" said the bishop's brow, a hint of annoyance.
"Of course your research is a good thing! I'm willing to help you in any way I can. The black knight first tried to dispel the other party's anger, and when the atmosphere was almost relaxed, he said sincerely:
"I have a hunch that the steam car will become a great Ming, but people's abilities and energy are limited, how long can you last alone?"
"I'm ......" Ike's face darkened, the other party's words did poke his pain, not only has the research entered a bottleneck recently, but the funds are not enough, otherwise who would steal those candlesticks......
"I have an idea that might solve this problem, would you like to hear it?"
"Needless to say. The bishop waved his hand dejectedly, and smiled bitterly, "You want me to let go of the results, right? â
"Sell, to be exact!" Jarley picked up the bench on the ground and patted it in front of the other party's eyes:
"You see, the benches made by human beings are definitely not as delicate as they are now. Technology is something that will be upgraded with diffusion, and if you can't solve a problem by one person, let a hundred people think about it, maybe there will be a way. As far as I know, I don't know if a steam car can replace a horse-drawn carriage, but it at least has the advantage of not pooping everywhere.
And some local tyrants like special and curious things, as long as the technology of the steam car is allowed to flow out, are you afraid that you will not see it upgraded? â
Ike was thrilled at first, and suddenly noticed his identity, so he could only shake his head helplessly: "It seems to make sense to hear you say this, but I'm a priest...... Don't harm me, you'll die. â
"Don't worry, how could I let you do such a thing?" the Black Knight put down the bench with his backhand and raised a finger in front of the bishop:
"If you can trust me, how about selling me a steam car......? One hundred thousand soles!"
"One hundred thousand!" Ike was so frightened that he almost collapsed, his eyes widened and he gasped for breath, and said, "Don't mess around, that pair of scrap copper and rotten iron is really not worth so much!"
"I didn't buy a steam car. Aree shook his head, grabbed the trembling arms, and pointed:
"What I buy is your dream, and in my heart, it's priceless. Besides, the true value of that thing may be far from that number. â
The bishop's eyes were quickly covered with mist, and he shook the other party's hand hard, choked up, and said, "In this world, the parents who gave birth to me are actually you who know me best...... In that case, two hundred thousand. â
"!"
"Let's talk about it again. How about I send you a time machine with me?"
"Get out! another nonsense of 80,000!"
"Don't! hand over the money and deliver the goods with the other, give me the money, you can move as many things as you want from the ruins of the main hall!"
"It's like a human saying, wait for me for half an hour. â
Yarley drove to the nearby Treasury Center, took out the bond slip, took out enough money, and turned back to Sophia Cathedral, where he saw Ike standing in front of the door and waiting for him.
The two nuns stared at him suspiciously, as if they had seen an ape evolve into a human.
The bishop hurriedly greeted him, staring at the suitcase in his hand and couldn't take his eyes off it: "You're finally back! I've been worried that you'll regret it halfway, come in quickly, and the things will be yours." â
The two of them arrived together in the ruins of the main hall of the church, and Yare looked at the new generation of steam cars, and handed the suitcase directly to Ike.
As if he was afraid that he would repent, the bishop quickly took the suitcase, and at the same time introduced it with all his heart:
"Last time, I initially separated the steam compressor from the cylinder and built a new steam engine, which made it much more efficient. It's just that the risk also becomes higher, and it is often necessary to vent manually, otherwise it will explode. â
The black knight fumbled for a while with the bottom of the steam car, then turned his head and asked, "How do you disassemble this thing?"
"Why demolish?" said Ike.
"Nonsense, how can I sneak it away if I don't dismantle it? If the matter is found out, you are not going to die! Moreover, I think the most useful part of your car is the steam engine, and the other parts are standard scrap copper and rotten iron, just give me the drawings. â
"Okay, the money is the boss, you have the final say!" the bishop nodded briskly, took out his tools, and squatted down for a while to dismantle the steam car.
Carrying a half-human-high steam engine wrapped in an oilcloth, Yare, carrying the blueprints given by Ike in his arms, climbed over the walls of Hagia Sophia, and left without noticing.
Amber Food Street
The Black Knight, dressed as a dock worker, pushed a wooden cart and pulled up to the center of the street, under the most luxurious building.
His ambition is to be in the army, and according to the regulations, soldiers are not allowed to do business. Therefore, the technology of buying a steam car from Ike is only to transfer it to the right person.
Among the rich people that Yalei knows, the only person who has this vision and financial resources, and is trustworthy, seems to be Amber, a local tyrant.
"Stop!" was about to push the cart straight in, but was stopped by the guard in front of the door.
The two tall guards glanced at the wooden cart and looked the black knight up and down, one of them said with a round face: "Our restaurant only ordered five carts of vegetables today, what are you here for?"
Yalei smiled and said, "I am a relative of the boss of Amber, and you sue him that I have just come from the sunflower field in the countryside and brought him some souvenirs. â
In order to avoid the trouble of not wanting to write, the black knight still did his homework, not only adding a fake beard to himself, but also smearing a lot of mud, looking like a dusty man, and covering his mocking face by the way.
"The boss's relative?" The round-faced guard's attitude immediately changed, and he squeezed out a kind smile: "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform the front desk!"
As he spoke, he nodded at the other guard, who had a pointed face, pushed open the glass revolving door, and quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd of diners.
"Business is so good. The Black Knight couldn't help but admire the diners as they walked by.
"You're right!" the sharp-faced guard came straight to the occasion when he heard this, and he chattered and said:
"The quality of the food in our food court is absolutely top-notch, and if you come once, you will definitely have a second time. In addition to traditional food, we have recently launched a fast food service that is available at home and ordered...... Uh, I'm sorry, I'm used to it......"
The guard scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said it smoothly, forgetting that the bitterness in front of him haha is a relative of the boss.
Yalei looked at him with admiration: "Are these words Amber told you to say?"
"Not really. The other party smiled shyly:
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I learned these from Lady Roddy, who always told us that if you want to be a successful person, you must first love your work...... I'm just thinking about it, anyway, I'm idle here as a guard, so I just help the hotel sell the goods, and I won't suffer a loss. â
"Roddy...... " The black knight recalled the thin and delicate red boy, nodded secretly in his heart, and cast an affirmative look at the guard:
"Well done!"
After chatting with the guard for a while, a string of familiar laughter suddenly came from inside the glass revolving door, and Amber strode out of the door, looking at Yalei and laughing again:
"I said which relative came out of the flower field, it turned out to be your girl hahaha...... The change was so great that I hid and watched for a long time before I recognized it. â
The Black Knight pointed to the steam engine on the trolley and said, "I have brought you a precious souvenir this time. â
"Oh, I'll have to take a good look at what you've brought. Amber's heart moved, and he said to the round-faced guard who was following him:
"Get some brothers and help me carry my things upstairs. â
"No!" Yalei hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and squeezed a glance at him: "Things are too brittle and easy to break, so I'll do it." â
"Okay!" How could this person who had become a big sum of money in just a few years be a fool, and almost immediately understood the strangeness of it, and immediately cooperated:
"You have had a lot of strength since you were a child, and it is estimated that carrying this little thing will not tire you to death, so you can carry it. â
The hotel in the center of the food court is very high-standard, with a total of five floors, and the more you go to the top floor, the more expensive it becomes, and the dishes are more exquisite and delicious, and it is said that even the second princess, Liliano, was very satisfied after tasting it.
The scale of the top floor is built entirely according to the most luxurious court cuisine, not to mention the variety of exquisite dishes, but also the most luxurious fabrics, furniture and facilities. The color is strong and lively, the layout is unrestrained and atmospheric, and the lines are almost natural and beautiful, in order to give every guest a luxurious, comfortable, and noble experience.
When these rich ladies saw a worker with a big bag on his shoulders and a dusty worker, the surprise in his heart can be imagined.
In the surprised gaze of the surroundings, Yalei followed a certain local tyrant all the way and walked quickly into his office.
"Okay, there's no outsider here, so let me see what kind of treasure you've brought. Amber curiously reached out and touched the tarpaulin, which was now something hard and cold.
The black knight didn't sell it, he directly opened the oilcloth in front of him, and took out the design drawing and handed it over: "This is a clear picture that I happened to get, who the designer is, you can't say, you just don't save zĂ i." â
Amber looked at the design and asked confusedly, "What is this?"
"Steam engine. Yalei knocked on the rough and bulky steam engine: "It doesn't need mana, it doesn't need magic stones, it can be powered by adding combustibles." â
After speaking, he pointed to the design in the other party's hand and said:
"The drawings in your hand are the design drawings of a new generation of vehicles powered by steam engines, let's call them steam cars. â
"This ...... This!" Amber carefully studied the drawings, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he almost smelled the smell of Jinshan from them, and sighed with emotion:
"It's a great gift!"
Yalei sat down on the mahogany bench and held up a finger:
"I bought it from that guy for 100,000. â
"I'll give you 10 million!" A certain local tyrant took out the arrogance of spending a lot of money and quoted a sky-high price.
The black knight laughed and touched his chin: "Don't worry about the price first, I have seen the quality of this thing, although there is room for improvement, the practicality so far is not strong." â
"This ...... Is there half the weight of a carriage?" Amber asked tentatively.
"Someone trotted half the way. â
"Isn't this a cheat!" A local tyrant angrily threw the design on the table: "Who will buy this kind of turtle car!"
"Didn't you say that there was room for improvement?" Areh knew that this man would become this virtue, and pressed his hand to signal him to calm down:
"In my opinion, don't rush to give me 10 million, keep the money and continue to research. When the car is raised to about the same level as an ordinary person running, it is equivalent to success. â
"Makes sense, but ...... Are you losing too much?"
Amber looked at the drawings and slapped his thigh:
"Well, if the gadget is profitable, I'll give you two for every ten dollars I make? Don't be stingy, as soon as the first batch of this thing is sold for a high price, someone will immediately copy it. I have to save more money to improve and deal with the competition. â
"Isn't this a disguised shareholding? You know my ambition, it's not good to do this. Yalei thought about it for a while, and said solemnly:
"It's better to be like this, you can trust me, and I can trust you. Take this car as a starting point, and a year later, you give me 20% of the profit. Anyway, it's just 100,000 bought goods, and you must make money by selling as much as you sell. â
"Okay, you've said that, and I'm not pretentious. Amber paced back and forth in the office, gritting his teeth:
"I'm going to do this deal, and I won't let you suffer!"
"Come on!" the black knight patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"This contains the passion of the designer, don't let his efforts be ashamed. â
The other party seemed to understand and responded, which was roughly summed up as a passion for money.
Yalei didn't break it, only he and Ike knew that the reason he said he was moving was not money, but the theory that the technology would be upgraded with the spread.
"That's right! The sharp-faced guard downstairs has a good personality and eloquence, so you can cultivate it well. Before leaving, the black knight left such a sentence.
Amber put down the drawings he couldn't put down, and smiled slightly: "Since you have spoken, from this moment on, he will be the new captain of the guard." â
