Chapter 204: Steam Tycoon

On the rental carriage, Hugh said: "It is unimaginable that Mr. A actually refused this commission. ”

She frowned and said, "But among the extraordinary people we know, it seems that only Mr. A has the strength to complete this commission." ”

"Let's get the news to Miss Audrey." "I still can't believe that Miss Audrey would post such a mission," said Folth. ”

Hugh said: "It seems that Miss Audrey is not as naΓ―ve as she appears, this may be a secret struggle in the aristocratic circle?" Or is it a prelude to a premeditated war? ”

Furth also speculated: "Maybe it's some big man represented by Earl Hall who wants the situation to become chaotic?" ”

The two of them glanced at each other and felt a little funny, how could the two of them be small people who could guess what these big people thought?

Riding back to the mansion of Viscount Greinte, Audrey, who was waiting for news here, was immediately frustrated when she heard that Mr. A had rejected the commission.

But soon she made up her mind: "I'm going to start an emergency rally of the Justice League!" ”

Hugh looked at each other with Forth and Gleilint, there were already four promoters here, and only the promoter Hobert was absent.

……

Hobart had a busy morning, winning both lawsuits, which was a good start for their team.

During lunch, Hobert reviewed Jessica and Lasgar's defense, correcting several of their mistakes in defense.

Newcomer Jessica took notes while listening, and even forgot to eat.

Lasgar also listened carefully and was glad that he had made the right choice to follow Hobart to a new team, which was a good opportunity for him to gain experience and work experience.

In particular, Hobert's practice of giving them a review is a learning opportunity that is difficult to encounter when working as an assistant to other lawyers.

After lunch, Hobert told Jessica and the others to go back first, and he was going to visit a "client".

Following the address given by Harvey Hayden, Hobert came to 1899 Nickelroe Street.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he looked at a delicate and wide private carriage, the window of which was open, and saw an old man and a middle-aged man sitting opposite each other.

The middle-aged man had long hair and looked a little greasy, and he was the head of the Tamara family in Beckland that he had seen when he channeled the members of the Tamara family before.

In front of the old man, the middle-aged man looked a little flattering, and he didn't even smoke a cigar.

It had been so long since the battle passed, and Hobert was no longer afraid to meet the Tamara family, he remembered the old man's appearance, and then went to see the sign of number 1899: Forge Machinery Firm.

At this time, the old man in the carriage and the long-haired Alva also seemed to look at Hobert with feeling, and at this time Hobert was already looking at the sign of "Sharp Machinery Firm", so he did not attract their attention.

The two of them didn't care and continued on their way.

This old man is one of the people sent by the Tamara family to find out why the team that eliminated the traitors was destroyed, and he was in charge of the investigation on the surface, but after more than ten days of investigation, he did not find any results, and could only accept the statement provided by Alva in the report: The operation team was killed by the royal family of Rune.

Today is the day the old man leaves, and Alva is ready to send him to the train station himself.

On the other side, Hobart entered the hall of the comptoir without panic, and made a request to the front desk that he wanted to see Mr. Dicos, and asked the front desk to tell him that he was Hobert Jeffrey.

He was accustomed to the attraction of the "State of Disorder" to the extraordinary people of the same order, and the other extraordinary people still did not feel their connection to the "State of Disorder", which is why he was so calm.

The receptionist was about to refuse Hobert's request, but when he heard Hobart report his name and knew that it might be a friend of Mr. Dicos, he asked Hobart to wait on the couch while she went upstairs to make an announcement.

But this time it was only half an hour, and after half an hour the little girl came back a little out of breath: "Mr. Dicos invites you to meet you at the steam pumping factory. ”

Hobert followed the little girl and saw the huge factory area behind the comptoir, and from the hall of the comptoir, Hobert could tell that Dikos's business was very large, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

These factories are all factories that produce large machinery, such as steam cranes, steam looms, steam sugar presses, steam miners, steam machine tools, and even steam locomotives.

It took more than ten minutes to walk before I came to the steam pumping plant.

Entering through the small door of the factory, Hobart saw that in the wide factory building, more than a dozen steam pumps were being assembled.

Because Russell the Great did not popularize the concept of a "production line", more than a dozen steam engines were assembled at the same time, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the scene was spectacular.

The whole workshop was filled with ping-pong and the sound of shouting trumpets.

Some parts are too large to be installed with a crane with a complex pulley structure, or lifted by several people together.

This is a labor scene that Hobert has never seen before, without the speed of an assembly line, but it makes people feel very rustic.

The steam pumping machine was the earliest use of steam machinery, mainly used to supply water to high places and to pump out stagnant water in mines.

These machines are as small as a horse-drawn carriage and as big as two locomotives, and they are really behemoths.

In front of a steam pump that was about to be assembled, Hobert saw a gentleman in his forties, not very tall, on crutches, smiling at himself: "The last time I saw you, you were only two years old, and you smiled at me in your mother's arms, and that smile melted my heart. ”

Hobart stepped forward and greeted, "Hello Mr. Dikos. ”

Dicos limped towards Hobert on crutches: "Chief Rex has told me not to take the initiative to look for you, how did you find me?" ”

"I took on a mission with Mr. Harvey Hayden." Hobert struggled not to look at the other man's leg: "He told me I could find him here. ”

"It turned out to be that kid, I heard that he mixed well in the mercenary world in Beckland." Dikos smiled and pointed to his leg and said, "This is an injury sustained in the Southern Continent, but fortunately your father's timely return that time, otherwise my life would have been lost." ”

He invited Hobart to sit down in the reception room in the workshop, where the sound of ping-pong always caught Hobert's attention.

"There's not a man who doesn't like machines." Dikos lifted his injured leg with his hand and sat down in a more comfortable position: "What you see is the second generation of pumps, the first generation is a piston pump, which is easy to leak.

"Now you see a centrifugal pump-type pump, the term centrifugal pump may not have been heard, this is a new invention that requires a higher speed of the steam engine, and of course, the efficiency of the second-generation pump is greatly improved."
