Vol 4 Chapter 103: beauty
The invention and popularization of electric lights made mankind bid farewell to darkness to a certain extent. As the core city of the industrial revolution, Enser City is even more so.
Change into the clothes stored in the space ring, use the mirror to leave a clone of yourself in the room, and successfully escape by relying on the space transition.
Of course, this is only temporary, he has to go back before dawn. This setting is somewhat similar to Cinderella?
Thinking of this, Donald couldn't help laughing, and immediately turned his attention back to his eyes.
Unther City at night is different from any city Donald has ever seen, regardless of the avant-garde and trendy cars, the doll servants beside the pedestrians, the mechanical pets in their arms, and the mechanical goods sold in the shops on both sides of the street. , Donald, a foreigner, was really surprised by the urban architecture alone.
Demingham, known as the Pearl of the Sea, uses uniform high-rise buildings in the construction of the city. Even the architectural styles of those aristocratic manors that are independent of Wangque Island are traceable, which makes every one. Anyone who first arrives in Demingham can deeply feel the orderliness and efficiency of the city.
In Unther City, however, Donald saw a ubiquitous, unrestrained imagination in architectural style.
For example, a towering building not far from him is similar to the ancient Roman style, and the other building connected by a sky bridge over 10 meters high is a specially renovated building full of Mechanical style gothic castle building
Two incompatible architectural styles are perfectly combined here, showing a surprising special beauty.
In contrast, the luxurious looking buildings in the wealthy area of Reinas are simply not worth the price, let alone the poor area, one is in the sky and the other is underground.
This time, we must hire a few architects and experts who are proficient in urban construction to go back!
Counting the time, Renas' industrial reform and the "Frostmourne" plan laid out before Donald left should have reached a critical moment. Unpredictable things.
Rao was circling all kinds of thoughts in his mind. On the surface, Donald still maintained a normal pace and went to the target location of his trip.
That's right, this time, it's not just to let loose. This motive accounts for a considerable part, but it's more to find someone.
Gree Marchina!
When he participated in the jury meeting before, Donald found that this person had a ray of light similar to the power of faith. When the jury meeting was over, he immediately asked Pamela to collect his information on the grounds that he was interested in this person's work. With the help of the Mechanical Society, the latter did so with ease.
However, it is one thing to get the information. It is impossible for Donald to bring Pamela to visit each other. Doing so will only limit the topics of both parties to certain topics, which is obviously not what Donald is really interested in. piece of robotic arm.
Therefore, it is difficult to find an opportunity to act alone now. Donald naturally does not intend to let it go. At any rate, he has to come to see this talented mechanic but has a bad reputation in the Mechanical Association.
In fact, he is not far from the other party's residence now.
Gree Marchina is not an aborigines in Unther City, but he came here recently for the sake of the Machinery Expo, and it is estimated that he also intends to make a fortune with the help of the Machinery Association here.
Because he did not buy real estate in Ense City, but chose to rent in a two-story building in a civilian area.
It's not that he doesn't have the money to live in a hotel. As a mechanic, he must have some savings, but his interest is obviously in mechanical research. Complaint package provided.
Donald first observed outside the house for a while, confirming that Gree Marchina was at home, and immediately did not intend to peep anything. In fact, after taking a look, he found that Gree Marchina was fully devoted to mechanical research. If no one interrupted, I am afraid He has to be busy for most of the night, and he doesn't want to wait outside.
Therefore, Donald simply came to visit directly, anyway, Gree Marchina is not a special person.
After ringing the doorbell several times in succession, he heard the footsteps coming from behind the door, which made Donald feel fortunate that he had made this decision, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find some clues by observation based on the level of concentration of the other party.
"you are?"
When he opened the door, he saw a man who had no impression at all. Marchina was stunned and asked.
"Green, you can call me that."
Whispering a name, Donald looked at the shimmer that still existed around him, and continued,
"I'm an investor, and I'm employed by some companies. I deal with some talented but underappreciated mechanics. I'm a bit of an expert in the Machinery Association. I saw your submission about the robotic arm a few days ago. I am very interested in the research paper of , I wonder if you are willing to sell this technology?"
It's definitely not okay to ask Marchina directly where the light came from, so Donald chose to change his entry point.
"Huh? Oh sure, of course I'd sell it!"
Just as Donald thought, he didn't care much about robotic arm technology, but Marchina, who was just planning to use it to earn a grant, immediately agreed to his request and opened the door directly to invite him in.
As a research-obsessed mechanic, no one can expect him to know much about the world, so Donald was brought into his workshop at Marchina without even getting a symbolic cup of tea.
It is said to be a workshop, but it is actually a floor. The living room is full of mechanical equipment on the table. Even the walls on all sides are covered with various complex mechanical design drawings. Fortunately, Donald himself is also a wizard with a profound knowledge of magic. , I usually look at various patterns of the magic array, and I did not dizzy due to insufficient brain capacity after scanning around.
"I remember that the manufacturing drawings of the robotic arm should be wrong here, maybe here?"
After being deflated at the Mechanical Association, Marchina left behind the robotic arm, and he didn't know where it was thrown.
"No hurry, you can take your time."
Donald didn't come for the robotic arm at all, so naturally he wouldn't be in a hurry. While Marchina was busy, he opened the eye of spiritual vision again.
Sure enough, the glimmer of light still exists on Marchina's body, but this time Donald no longer pays attention to him, but instead focuses on other things in the living room, trying to rely on the eyes of spiritual vision to find some special items to help Answer the strangeness of Marchina yourself.
The result was disappointing. After sweeping back and forth for several times, Donald still couldn't find what he wanted until Marchina exclaimed and held up a drawing.
"20 gold pounds, this is the price I can give, what do you think?"
After the drawing of the robotic arm, Donald directly quoted a price that surprised Marchina, which was actually far beyond his psychological expectations. You must know that this is just a sketch, and it has not been truly perfected.
But if you have money, you don't make a bastard, right?
For the current Marchina, any sum of money is very important, so he didn't plan to bargain, and simply put the drawings to Donald, for fear that he would regret it.
According to the normal process, the transaction is over at this point, but Marchina found that the other party had no intention of leaving, so he could not help looking at him with doubtful eyes, and asked, "Does Mr. Green still want to buy?"
"Of course, I want to invest in a mechanical technology you're working on that I know has to be extraordinary, and I'm really interested in it."
Donald put away the blueprint of the robotic arm, and took out twenty gold coins from his pocket and placed them on Marchina's palm.
"How do you know?"
Withdrawing his hand Marchina's gaze at Donald became wary.
"Through the relationship of the Machinery Association, I have read your information, traveled around, and applied for special sponsorship from the Machinery Association with various achievements. In the end, I didn't come up with a single finished product. They all said that you are a liar, but I know that it is absolutely impossible. It's not that simple!"
Quick thinking opened, Donald began to make up further reasons in his mind while speaking,
"After seeing the state of your living room, I am even more sure of this. You are a mechanic who is dedicated and obsessed with mechanical research. There is no doubt that the money you applied for is not for spending money, otherwise this place would not be this place. state, then there is only one possibility left, you are researching a very special mechanical technology, and it is not convenient to publish it directly, so you will raise funds in this way, am I right?"
Guess it right!
From the expression on Marchina's face, Donald knew that his guess was completely correct. This guy did have a special mechanical technology in his hand, and Donald also had an undeniable interest in these technologies.
That being the case, the rest is simple.
Whether or not the technology involved the glimmer of Marchina, Donald wanted to find out.
Even if it is smashed with money, you have to smash this guy's mouth open!
