Dikos tells a little about the steam engine, and Hobert feels like the big guys.

After a few more conversations, Hobart said the purpose of the visit: "My adoptive father, Mr. Christine, has told me a lot about Mr. Rex, my biological father.

"But he never told me anything about my father's return to Beckland, and now that I have taken over the burden of investigating the family's curse, I would love to know what Mr. Rex did when he came to Beckland, and what he did after he left the army."

He spread his hands: "I used to talk to Christine about this topic, but seeing his sad expression, I couldn't bear to continue talking to him." ”

"Of course Chief Christine is reluctant to say," Dikos said, "it was the darkest of the two chiefs. ”

He sighed, as if caught in a memory, and only after a few minutes did he say, "We have done too much in the Southern Continent, and Rex and Chief Christine are both very good strategists, and under their layout, the situation in half of East Bailang has been eased.

Of course, this will be feared by the royal family of Rune, and it is inevitable that he will be transferred back to Beckland on the grounds of promotion.

"In order to prevent accidents in Beckland, Chief Rex took potions and became a demigod on the way back to Beckland.

"As Chief Rex expected, they were treated unfairly as soon as they were transferred back to Beckland, a demonstration by the royal family of Rune.

"Commander Rex, who had no intention of continuing his service for a long time, took this opportunity to leave the army and began to explore some Quaternary relics or monuments."

Hobert nodded, similar to his previous conjecture about Rex's whereabouts.

"I don't know exactly what ruins Chief Rex explored," Dikos patted his injured leg and said, "Because of my injured leg, I can't follow Chief Rex on adventures, so I have to come back and take over my father's business."

"I remember mentioning in a conversation between Chief Rex and Chief Christine that he kept his notes on exploration in a place that only his descendants could reach."

Hobert was stunned: "Is there such a place?" How did I not know? ”

Dikos smiled, "Young man, don't be anxious, Chief Rex has made a lot of arrangements for you.

"I was there when he made his will, and he gave most of his wealth and knowledge to Chief Christine for safekeeping, and he made simple plans for when and when to give you something."

Dikos sighed, "These two chiefs are really rare and close friends. ”

Hobber nodded, "Okay." ”

The implication of Dikos was that he wouldn't reveal much information about Rex either, and Hobart was in doubt now because he wasn't old enough to know that information.

The conversation then returned to the steam engine, and Dicos was surprised to discover that Hobert knew more about mechanics than he had imagined.

In this era, the knowledge of mechanics is still a cutting-edge knowledge that can only be learned at universities, and it is generally not open to international students.

In the era of the Common Era, there was a systematic description of mechanics in junior high school physics.

Especially for Hobert, who had seen an internal combustion engine, the mechanics of the steam engine were not too difficult to understand.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them chatted for more than an hour, and although there was still some unfinished business, it was time for Hobart to leave.

As he was leaving, Hobert pointed to a locomotive-sized pump outside and asked, "What is the approximate price of this type of pump?" ”

"About 800 pounds." Dikos smiled, "If you trade with merchants from other countries, you might sell for 1,300 to 1,500 pounds."

"And we will also add a tamper-proof structure, weld the shell of the important structure to death, and add a mechanism inside, as long as there is a forced demolition, the important structure will be destroyed."

Hobert said in his heart, this structure is advanced, but it can't prevent apprentices, right?

Hehe, this is the extraordinary world, the main thing is that it is impossible to prevent.

"Since you know I'm here, you often come to talk to me." Dikos said: "Next time I will take you to see the new crane." ”

Hober nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”

At this time, a pumping machine was assembled and the test machine began, and when the steam "roared" out of the mechanical structure, and when the huge runner "buzzed", Hobert deeply felt the charm of this era.

On the way back, Hobert roughly estimated that the cost of a pumping machine the size of a locomotive would be only two or three hundred pounds at most!

It's really profitable, it can be sold for 800 pounds, and if it is exported, the price will double.

Hobert seems to see the shadow of a technological monopoly, in fact, the application of steam engines has been very popular throughout the Northern Continent, but Dikos produces the most cutting-edge steam engines, representing the most cutting-edge production level of the Kingdom of Rune.

These cutting-edge applications, compared with the common steam engines on ships or trains, have a clear difference in mechanical structure, according to Hobert's understanding, similar to the difference between second-generation fighters and fifth-generation fighters.

Back at the office, Hobert had just gotten out of the carriage and paid the fare, and before he could enter the door, a girl dressed as a maid came over and said, "Mr. Hobert! I am Miss Audrey's maid Anne, and Miss Audrey has an urgent matter to ask for your help, please follow me to Viscount Glerinte's mansion. ”

Hobert was slightly stunned, and recalled that the girl in front of him was indeed Audrey's personal maid.

So he got into a luxurious carriage bearing the coat of arms of the Count of Hall and went to the lodgings of Viscount Gleilint.

As soon as he entered the study, Hobert was relieved to see the four people in the study together.

Hobert took off his trench coat: "I heard Anne say that you have been waiting for me since the morning?" ”

In an era when there were no cell phones, no telephones, it was still quite inconvenient to find someone in Beckland.

Audrey said, "Yes, I initiated an emergency meeting of the Justice League. ”

Everyone took their seats around the desks according to the previous seating order.

Hobert took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Is there any difficulty with our beautiful Miss Audrey?" ”

"I have a mission to announce at the party: to assassinate Bekron, the ambassador of Intis to Rune. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough" Hobert, who was a little thirsty and had been drinking water since he sat down, choked on the tea.

When Audrey and the others saw this scene, they felt funny and disappointed, and they thought it was funny because they had seen Hobart lose his temper for the first time, and they felt disappointed that even Hobart was so surprised, and he probably didn't have the means to complete this task.

It's just that they all thought wrong, and what surprised Hobert was: Mr. A didn't take the commission to assassinate Beckron?

Suddenly, he remembered that at the Night Watch Squad meeting he attended last week, Thomas had informed everyone that Hillman had covertly recruited a Sequence 5 helper.

Both senior members of the Aurora Society fled, but they were also severely injured by 2-365.

The power of that glove Hobert knew, even Sequence 5 spirits would be traumatized and would be difficult to recover from for a while. Especially for the extraordinary people of the "Secret Prayer Man" path, the heavy damage to the spirit body hit them even harder.

At that time, Hobert was still wondering, could that helper be Mr. A? Now it seems that it is indeed Mr. A, and he is in a very bad state now, so he refused this commission.

Hobart thought for a moment before saying, "I have the means to accomplish this task. ”
