Disturb the water

Such a big event could not have been hidden from the nobles, and the report quickly flew to the desks of the leaders. After a brief reading, they quickly made a decision.

Some decided to add fuel to the fire, some decided to spice things up, and some decided to remain silent. Under the seemingly calm surface, there were constant turbulences, and everyone was considering their own interests.

Inside the Luo family, Ron threw the document to his son without even looking up: "You decide what to do."

Arnold took the document with a wry smile. What else could he do? He responded and read the document carefully. As he read, his expression became serious.

"Father, I think we shouldn't get involved in the actions of the Merchants Guild. First, Mr. Merchant has helped us a lot before, and there is no direct conflict of interest between his Chamber of Commerce and his family. We don't need to offend them. Second, if the Merchants Guild really intends to take a bite of the Western pie, the first to be anxious will be the Western nobles. We can act according to the situation."

"That's right, but we didn't see it that way. Not only should we not stop them, we should help them."

Ron chuckled and gave generous guidance: "Although the profiteer is dead, Oreius is still alive. They know each other, and it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable if we just stand by and watch. And if you want to do something, do it as big as possible. Arnold, you have a stable character, but you are not as good as your two brothers in this respect. You will not go wrong if you are down-to-earth, but you should think about how to maximize the interests of the family."

"I understand. I will do it right away. The Luo family will not stop the unscrupulous business association and will provide some help."

"Wait." Ron thought for a while, "If we just rely on ourselves, we will be a bit of a target. Go and call the other families. Remember, fool as many as you can. You are not good at talking, so if you can't fool them, call your brother."

Arnold smiled helplessly and accepted his father's instructions. The two blond nobles who were scattered in other places had no idea that they were about to face a new task. They sneezed suddenly, rubbed their noses in confusion, and muttered, "Did I wear too little today?"

......

The weather in Xinzhen is very nice today.

The sunlight shines through the green branches, casting a bright golden glow. The shadows of the trees sway, bringing a hint of coolness. Various plants bloom luxuriantly, and from a distance, the whole town looks like a city of flowers.

With the presence of Little Green, the plants in New Town remain evergreen all year round. Mason once wondered if he could use this feature in planting, but unfortunately the power of young trees is too great for ordinary people to digest.

The woman with the purple-pink ponytail walked out of the room and stretched lazily. The sunny weather meant nothing to her, but rather a bit dazzling. The woman lowered her eyes listlessly, and immediately a voice came from behind.

"Teacher, it's windy outside, please put this on."

The assistant hurried out and put her coat on.

In half a year, Adam had grown taller and his face had become more angular. Even though there was no wind outside, he still buttoned up the woman's windbreaker as if it were a fragile item. Then he took a step back and said humbly, "Sorry, I was rude."

The mechanic waved her hands, not wanting to dwell on such a trivial matter. She said in a tired tone, "Accompany me to the branch office."

"OK."

Adam obeyed obediently. They did not take the recently developed public transportation, but walked towards the direction of the Mechanical City branch.

On the flat and wide roads of the new town, townspeople ride bicycles back and forth, making it very lively. The houses have all been replaced with solid cement, and two-story villas can be seen everywhere. The lush and green plants are numerous but not messy, creating a warm and comfortable environment. Occasionally, you can see a heavy "box" seven or eight meters long parked in front of the bus stop, and residents put in coins in an orderly manner to get on the bus. This is the new bus.

Seeing this, the mechanic casually asked, "How is the progress of the car research?"

Adam quickly replied: "We are studying how to reduce costs. Otherwise, with the current cost, it is impossible to achieve large-scale production so that ordinary people can use it."

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't slack off in your work on improving public transportation. I will give you bonuses and technology at the end of the year."

Adam's eyes lit up: "Thank you."

"There's nothing to be thankful for. I guess the higher-ups in the Mechanical City look down on this little thing. It's all thanks to you new researchers who developed it. Without you, the new town wouldn't have been able to develop so fast."

"Thanks to your and the Lord's guidance, otherwise we would never have thought of studying these things."

Adam did not deny that these things are not enough to attract senior researchers to set them as research topics. However, young researchers who follow him to learn know that there is a bright future behind it, which is a good thing that is truly beneficial to mankind.

If Adam had regarded the Mechanical City as a holy place before, he now gradually realized that the Mechanical City itself had various rigid problems. The researchers did have extraordinary knowledge, but this knowledge only served themselves and their bloodline followers, leaving ordinary people with nothing to rely on.

This seemed like a very normal thing to him, but the mechanic lady broke it violently.

“Technology exists to serve humanity. If it is not centered on humans, then what is the point of its existence?”

This is what she said to Adam in the first class, and he remembered it deeply. Most of the things proposed by the mechanic and Mason Lord did not require too difficult technology, just suitable for new researchers to practice.

That's putting it in a nice way.

In fact, experienced researchers don't care about these things. The funding is centralized, and if they have time to deal with these things, they would rather study how to improve the technology. Only the new researchers are more concerned about this.

Adam's matchmaking was indispensable. He often went to the Mechanical City and brought many newly promoted researchers to Xinzhen. He can be said to be a great contributor to Xinzhen.

The Mechanical City branch stood out among the buildings. In half a year, no traces had been added to it, and it was still as intact as when it was newly built. The mechanic turned it around briefly and gave a few instructions on the next improvement plan. The researchers who received the instructions were busy recording the information, fearing that they would miss anything.

In the past six months, the development of the Mechanical City branch has been very outstanding. The various design theories proposed by the mechanic have become a must-learn for new researchers, so her reputation is very high. At least in the Mechanical City branch in the new town, her words are final, and even those old researchers have to give her some respect.

After the instruction was over, when no one was around, Adam asked softly, "You seem a little different today."

"Did you find out?" The mechanic who was thinking about the modification plan came back to his senses and said casually. "I have to go out for a while. The research guidelines for this period have been written. They are on my desk. Remember to give them back to them."

"Where are you going?"

"Dark Mist Border."

Adam was shocked and said, "That's too dangerous. Please let me go with you."

"No rush. This matter also requires the help of the Mechanical City. How is the mechanical beast that I asked the Mechanical City to assemble before?"

"According to your instructions, the branch has sent the information back to the Mechanical City. They are ready."

"Very good, so what about what I asked you to do?"

Adam's eyes were burning, and his palms were full of sweat. "Thanks to you, the situation is good now, and we have entered the field test stage."

"That's great. I've already found a testing location, and I'll need you to analyze the data when the time comes."

"clear!"

For researchers, knowledge is the most important thing. As the abilities of each vest are developed, Mason deliberately establishes the image of a mechanic and has never stopped contacting the Mechanical City in the past six months. There are too many things to say about the knowledge provided by [The Lost Country] and the technology seen in the previous life.

For the Mechanical City, mechanics are an endless treasure trove. Every time they come to visit and communicate, they can get new inspiration.

The mechanic was particularly attentive to Adam, a child with a natural talent for assembling mechanical beasts, and taught him knowledge that was considered taboo.

Make an artificial human.

The latter was undoubtedly gifted in this area, and even Ham was so excited when he heard about it that he wanted to crawl out of the mirror and take in an apprentice. Unfortunately, this was impossible, and Adam was finally accepted by the mechanic.

Adam felt that this mysterious teacher was unfathomable. No matter what questions he asked, the mechanic could always answer them easily. It was like a boundless ocean. When No. 1 revealed his identity to Adam for the first time, the boy was shocked, but he soon became excited.

The researcher's blood was boiling, clamoring with desire. Yes, this was what he wanted to study. He also wanted to research such a powerful artificial human!

As a result, he became more convinced of the mechanic and took the initiative to call him "teacher". The latter did not object to this title, and in a subtle and secret joy, Adam regarded himself as the other's disciple.

While he was lost in thought, the mechanic interrupted him and said, "Stay here for a few days to continue researching the topic. I will send someone to pick it up when the stuff is ready. If you succeed, I will teach you the next step."

"I see."

Adam bowed slightly and watched the other person's back as he left. When he could no longer see her, he could no longer suppress the smile on his face and clenched his fists in excitement.

"Great! I can finally prove myself!"

He turned around and hurried back to the laboratory, not having time to communicate with the people who greeted him on the way.

A familiar researcher asked casually, "Anything good happened to you, Adam?"

"Well, the teacher is finally going to check my experimental results."

"Oh, congratulations."

It would be impolite to stop someone in this situation. Adam's laboratory was on the first floor. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately closed the door. He pressed the switch on the corner of the wall, and saw a floor moved to the right, revealing a spiral staircase leading down. I'm afraid even the builder didn't know about this secret passage. This was a secret passage that the mechanic opened for him on purpose to facilitate Adam's research.

The researcher walked down the stairs, and the sensor light automatically turned on. He turned two corners, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

The spacious underground space is full of people. Exposed mechanical skeletons, dense neural wires, and simulated heads that have already taken shape...

Adam didn't look at the waste and went straight to the deepest part. The specially dug underground laboratory would not have only these things, otherwise there would be no need to go dozens of meters deep. He pushed open a heavy door, and here was his most successful masterpiece. Adam forced his hands to suppress the trembling and entered the start command.

"Beep beep...command detected...system started..."

"Starting process 10%...34%...57%...78%...99%..."

"Startup successful, identity authentication begins."

The figures standing in the darkness opened their eyes and looked at the newcomers in unison. They all had almost identical handsome faces, extremely realistic looks, and stiff expressions. The slightly electronic voices quickly adjusted to normal tones. Countless voices overlapped, repeating the same sentence in unison.

"Thank you for your use, Mr. Adam. What are your orders?"

"Start installing data transfer devices and restore data immediately if it is damaged."

"clear."

The humanoids fell silent one after another, with only the occasional flash of blue light in their eyes proving that they were functioning.

Adam couldn't hide his good mood. He stood in front of the test bench humming a song and began the final test.
