Chapter 7, Precision Gears
The white-robed men had a precision gear logo made up of three gears on their chests. Depending on the color of the gears, it seems that there is a difference between these white-robed people.
A gear-like knob beside Morgan suddenly spoke, "Director Morgan, the chief is on his way, please wait a moment." ”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and leaned casually against the wall beside him, Fran lowered his head and stood close to Morgan, looking up and looking around quietly, without him, any mechanic would regard precision gears as a sacrosanct temple!
It is no exaggeration to say that precision gears are the highest temple in the hearts of all mechanics!
It is the most holy, beautiful and holy place, and the spiritual home of all mechanics!
And Fran, a freshman at Imperial University, made a group of professors shout mechanical genius with perfect marks in three courses: mechanical theory, mechanical structure, and mechanical history.
"There's no need to look at it secretly, if you sign a confidentiality agreement, as long as you don't say it, you can watch it at will." Morgan looked at Fran, who was finally showing the demeanor of a normal young man, and said, "Of course, some things that can't be seen will be conspicuously marked. ”
Fran politely thanked him, "Thank you." ”
"Don't thank him, he'll only be able to be awesome in front of a little kid like you."
A somewhat lazy, but mocking voice came from the corner of the corridor, followed by groups of white-robed people bowing slightly and respectfully greeting, "Good afternoon, chief!" ”
It was a strange man, a strange man in a white robe, with three heterochromatic gears, and a pale mask that had no holes in it, the only bulge being a nose bulge for breathing.
"Hello, little ghost, you can call me Moxiso."
There was a look of arrogance in his tone, but Fran didn't care about it, after all, he had seen a lot on weekdays.
"Fran."
"Of course I know your name, little ghost, who wouldn't know our valiant test driver?"
There seemed to be something else in Moxiso's tone, "Come with me, let's go melt the heart." ”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much, and the three of them walked all the way, and after turning an unknown number of corners, the three of them walked into a room that was half of the same material as the hallway and half of some transparent material. The room started from the center line, and the half farther from the hallway was made of some kind of clear, glass-like material, while the half near the hallway was covered with dense cables, the sloppy cables clearly indicating the haste in which the electronic devices of unknown purpose were arranged.
Correspondingly, the transparent half is clean, and the overall transparent half has nothing but a vertically downward air closure door and a simple lifting compartment.
Through the crystal clear transparent materials, the bottom of the room is a huge cave with bright lights. The transparent part of the entire room is suspended above the entire cavern.
"Then, our valiant test drivers, if you have the guts, go down." Moxiso tilted his head, and a mocking laugh came from under his mask.
Although he didn't know why this strange man who seemed to be noble would have malicious intentions towards him when they first met, Fran didn't care.
He nodded, very calmly, without him, this inexplicable malice Fran had experienced more than once.
"Okay."
Moxiso pressed a button in a corner, "Come on, take this little guy down." ”
A short time later, a young man in a white robe, dressed in the same white robe and with three gears pinned to his chest, knocked on the door and entered, and as soon as they met, he became very interested in Fran.
"You're the test driver of the feast?"
Moxiso coughed a little dissatisfied, and the researcher, who didn't look very old, shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all about the dissatisfied gaze coming from Moxiso, "Come with me......"
After that, he took Fran's hand and walked to the position of the elevator, in a roar, the airtight door on the lifting compartment slowly opened, the lifting compartment slowly rose, and after the hatch opened, a transparent cabin that could barely accommodate two people was revealed, Fran could almost be said to be carried into the cabin, until the whole cabin began to slowly descend, he reacted, and his calm face rarely showed a trace of shock.
Looking at the gradually closing airlock door, Moxiso sneered nonchalantly, "It seems that the medicine works well." ”
Morgan smiled wryly, "It's not bad, it's a little scary." ”
"Oh? Morgan, would you still be afraid of a little kid? ”
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm panicking, and if you let a little kid look at you expressionlessly, no matter how iron-blooded a man is, I'm afraid that my heart will chuckle."
"Soft-hearted?"
“……”
Very rarely, Morgan fell into silence, and it was not until the transparent cabin was about to reach the bottom of the cavern that Morgan slowly spoke, "Indeed, a little soft-hearted, looking at this kid in the car, I always feel that I have gone too far." ”
"What if ......"
Morgan unceremoniously interrupted Moxiso, "No if, I would choose to do the same if I did it again, even if this kid is innocent." ”
"Innocent?" Moxiso's tone was full of mockery again, "It's really innocent, and that night, if it weren't for this kid, you might have had a drink with your group of colleagues and watched some beautiful girls after work." ”
Morgan's breathing suddenly became rapid, "What happened that night?" ”
"Don't know too much, Morgan." Moxiso pointed his pale faceless mask at Morgan, "Do you know why I didn't let you go on the promotion?" ”
Without waiting for Morgan to answer, Moxiso walked to the other end of the transparent room on his own, "You go up one level and you're qualified to know most of Prometheus' plan......"
"I can't know?"
Morgan lowered his head and looked at the junction between the transparent material and the wall, "You have to be like a fool and ignore everything?" ”
There was anger and remorse in his tone, and the monstrous remorse drowned his whole body in memories, making him regret the step he had taken back all the time.
"When you know it, you won't be able to bear it." Moxiso didn't look back, "I promised your director to take a good look at you, not to mention, you still have those juniors to take care of." ”
Morgan sighed in vain, only to feel a sudden exhaustion in the depths of his soul, which quickly took over every part of his body, and he pulled a chair and sat down heavily.
The chair creaked like a deep remorse in Morgan's heart.
