Apollonia kept her eyes on it, never looking away.

...

"Hey... Feed! I've been calling you for a long time, and I haven't reacted at all? ”

[Huh? What's up? 】

"I've got a job ticket. What are you doing in a daze? Shang Luo was already standing in front of him with a brown paper bag, and took Apollonia back from the guard's hand.

[Did you just see a group of people dressed in black?] 】

"I didn't see it. There are more than a dozen elevators in it, how can I meet everyone. What, there's something wrong with that group? ”

[Jinyiwei, they seem to have noticed me.] Even though they were wearing casual clothes, the smell made me feel terrified. Where do we go now? 】

"When I go to the workshop, I can borrow a workbench and use the equipment in the workshop if I have a work ticket. I have to go early, and when the craftsmen go to dinner at the end of work, I won't find anyone to get the key. ”

He reached out and took Bolonia over, led the suitcase in one hand and the brown paper bag in the other, and headed west.

The rest of the journey didn't need to be followed by the guards, and he had already issued the work ticket he needed to borrow the workbench.

Without any surprise, he found reports of pi directly from old publications, directly confirming the "authenticity" of Apollonia. Then all that's left to do is to exchange Tsukidan back. He took a step and walked towards the workshop area next door.

The Acropolis is much denser than the outside, with 30% of the population of all of San Francisco concentrated here. However, almost all the people in the Acropolis have their own jobs, and it is rare to see people wandering the streets outside of their breaks. Now there were only 5 minutes left before 12 o'clock in the lunch break, and Shang Luo quickened his pace. Because when it's time to get off work, everyone doesn't stay in the workshop for even a second longer.

12：00

"Whew... Whew..."Shang Luo leaned against the door frame, gasping for air. He almost ran all the way from the Golden Gate Hotel. Although the distance was only a few hundred meters, the distance was more than he had been able to exercise for several days. It was crowded outside, and it was time for the lunch break. Sure enough, none of them would stop for a second after ringing the bell, and they all headed towards the Golden Gate Hotel, which was a few hundred meters away.

The Workshop District, located in the northwest of the entire Acropolis. All the workshops and factories are enclosed in a separate area, and the workshop area has its own iron fence to protect it. The Acropolis also has two quarters for the artisans, and a trading-storage area adjacent to the docks. This zoning pattern is simple and crude, but it is in line with Zhou etiquette, and it almost completely replicates the layout of the cities of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Acropolises like these can be found all over the world, each one a military legacy from the era of the Great Righteous War hundreds of years ago. The Acropolis of San Francisco is one of the most dazzling masterpieces, and the city of San Francisco, the jewel of the New World, has developed around it.

As a standard template for the Acropolis, the Acropolis of San Francisco shoulders the task of the strategic fulcrum of the New World, so the equipment here has everything you need, including...

【Welding? You can actually use electric welding here??? Welding in Constantinople was still only used in laboratories. 】

From the simplest vices, to milling machines, drilling machines, lathes, grinding machines, to the red-painted arc welding station in the corner, almost everything a craftsman needs is integrated into this small workshop. With enough time and materials, it can even be used to produce any industrial product, or to provide a high-quality part for large equipment like a cell. In wartime, these cell workshops can be organically combined according to the model of an assembly line to produce a wide range of equipment from Seiko rifles to Seiko chariots. Each piece is a high-performance Seiko product, and each screw is engraved with the name of the craftsman himself.

The Acropolis of San Francisco, which hangs in the middle of the ocean, has a saturated configuration of its workshops. Even high-end goods such as electric welding stations are placed in each "cell workshop".

Shang Luo came to borrow this thing.

Closing the roller shutter door, he hung the operation ticket on a hook near the door.

[I... Some scared. 】

"Are you still scared?"

Wouldn't you be scared if you went for surgery? He couldn't inject anesthetic, and the chief surgeon couldn't even hold the knife steadily. And are you sure this thing is reliable? 】

"Actually, I'm not sure..."

It has only been 3 years since the invention of electric welding, and even 5 years since the discovery of the arc. The value of every welding station that can radiate an arc is immeasurable. However, the imperial court has never been stingy with investment in cutting-edge technology, and even experimental equipment that has not been mass-produced will be directly put into the front line. And it only takes ten minutes to open a work ticket and use it.

But can this thing fix the "magic machine"? Shang Luo himself didn't know. All he knew was that this was the most "powerful" means of bonding metals he could currently use. This fixed welding station is far more powerful than a hand-held welding device and can be used to weld large metal components. As for the situation of the divine machine itself, he also made some temptations before.

He tried nailing and glue before he went out. But the brass heart, called the "Divine Machine", is simply indestructible. With a small hammer and nails, nothing could be left at all, and the glue could only stick to his gloves. He even tried spraying water with a watering can – the shell didn't even leave a water mark. The shell just looks like brass, not brass at all in terms of physical properties.

"I'm not sure, but you can rest assured. The temperature of the arc is comparable to that of the surface of the sun, and metals that cannot be melted by the arc simply do not exist. So, let me confirm your appeal - you want to fill this hole? ”

[Yes.] Phlogiston leaks don't feel good, like... If you want to use a metaphor, it's like someone is sucking your brain out of a small hole with a straw little by little. Please, even if it's tape or something, please make sure to fill the hole. 】

"Adhesive tape, it can't fix you."

Shang Luo opened the box, placed the music box that Apollonia was carrying on the clamp of the welding station, and took off the yellow warning sign that marked "High Voltage Danger". He hesitated, because the situation in front of him was actually quite tricky.

He used fast adhesive, adhesive tape, A and B glue, and tried all kinds of adhesives, but none of them could stick. Even the super glue that sticks to the hand and can only tear the skin is just sliding off like water droplets on the lotus leaf on the divine machine, and then quickly solidifies on the table.

The shell of the Divine Machine is unimaginably smooth, and this is obviously not a regular material - it is conceivable that the materials used to make this Endless Divine Machine certainly cannot be found everywhere.

But as long as the wind is strong enough, even pigs can blow away. As long as enough power is given, even tungsten with a melting point of up to 3410°C can be welded.

"So in your case, I can only get a little bit of a big guy."
