Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 106 Mechanical Clan
"You can view this as a threat, or you can view this as cooperation." Luke flicked the ash off his cigarette and continued, "You mechanical people on Diagon Street are all doing your own thing. The cooperation between small workshops is simply not enough. Your business is just a small profit that large mechanical factories look down upon.
Even if you have some commendable technologies, you have no way to apply them on a large scale.
Moreover, your strengths lie in steam machinery, and your alchemy technology and parts are highly dependent on external supply.
Follow me and I will help you solve all these problems. "
Wei Meng considered it seriously.
The Yanyang Group is very popular in the Cape District these days because its leader is the Meteorite Detective of the Secret Service. The powerful violent potion they smuggle and sell not only makes money, but also brings them huge invisible capital.
The reason why Inspector Meteorite was able to quickly expand his power at the Cape Port Pier was because he relied on the Yanyang Group to gather together a number of scattered gang members.
Give money to people instead of asking them to pay tribute.
With Cape Port in his hands, the lifeline of import and export of Diagon Street was in his hands.
As for the rest…
"Inspector Meteorite, there are many people in Raging Wave City who can help us solve the problems you can solve for us. We mechanical people don't like to be constrained, and we think the current life is quite suitable for us."
“Suitable for you?” Luke chuckled, “Sandpaper must drink special motor oil every day to speak normally.
Your shell is made of metal, but some of your organs are still flesh and blood. To keep them alive, you not only need to spend a lot of money, but also have to endure great pain to replace body fluids regularly.
You call yourselves the mechanical race, but not one of you can completely replace your body with a machine."
Luke's words hit the mechanical race's sore spot.
Wei Meng said in a bad tone: "The rise of the mechanical race has only been a few decades. We all believe that as long as we keep walking on this path, sooner or later we will be able to obtain a perfect body."
“Hmm…” Luke nodded in agreement. “That’s what the magicians and alchemists thought when they were breeding supernatural species. In the first few decades, the research progress of supernatural species breeding was very fast. At that time, some people asserted that perfect supernatural creatures could be artificially bred within a hundred years.
But now, hundreds of years have passed, and the cultivation of extraordinary species has been improving, but the ultimate goal is getting further and further away."
Luke's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Wei Meng's enthusiasm for the future.
With the precedent of cultivating extraordinary species, Wei Meng had to admit that what Luke said made sense.
Human body mechanical transformation has indeed entered a period of stagnation after rapid development.
Changing arms, legs and heads is not difficult.
"Can it be solved by cooperating with you? Is there nothing to expect from your promises?"
"I didn't promise to help you complete the full mechanical transformation of your body. I just want you to realize that... your ultimate goal should not be pursued as a hobby, but as a career.
They are determined to spend hundreds of years and invest huge amounts of money, materials and manpower into it.
Do you know how much the Empire invests in research on supernatural species breeding every year?"
"have no idea."
“I don’t know either! But it’s definitely not comparable to the resources your street has obtained in such a lazy way.
Mighty, Diagonal Street is in Raging Waves City , Raging Waves City connects the entire empire and the world, and Oulu College is in the subspace. The world's most advanced technology and ideas are gathered here, and your mechanical race has resources that other mechanical races in other places dare not even think about, and what have you done?
Enjoy life!
When you die, I will carve this sentence on your tombstone!"
At this moment, Wei Meng felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his head.
He suddenly hated his former self.
It would be really scary if the words "Enjoy Life" were engraved on my tombstone after I die.
"Yeah! What are we doing? What have we done?"
Seeing the mighty appearance, Luke was very satisfied with the effect of his verbal attack. Under such a powerful attack, his head must be buzzing.
Looking at the other mechanical people in the room with their heads down in deep thought and annoyance, they must have been buzzing with emotion.
“It’s not too late to repent now…” Luke continued: “The city council will pass a resolution to repair Cape , and my Yanyang Group will get this project.
Repairing Cape Harbor requires a lot of machinery, and I hope you can get involved, which can bring you a very huge income. The mechanical tribes in Diagonal Street can also be integrated through this project, and a detailed division of labor can be made according to the strengths of each person and each store to form a complete mechanical research and development and production chain.
The increased throughput of Cape Harbor after renovation will attract more ships to dock. In this booming era, the world has always been hungry for machinery.
You can obtain huge amounts of funds, materials, and technology through Cape Harbor. When you invest these things in the research of human mechanical transformation, the speed at which you pursue your dreams will definitely be much higher than it is now. "
Wei Meng couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly drank a bottle of condensate to lower his rapidly rising body temperature and intracranial pressure.
“Inspector Meteorite, you are a prophet who points the way for our mechanical race.” At this moment, Wei Meng had completely lost his previous momentum. In front of Luke, he was like a devout little fan: “I apologize to you for all the offenses I have caused you. This is a sincere apology.
I have never been so happy as I am at this moment. You have knocked down the high wall that I have been facing and allowed me to see the direction I want to go.
The goal is far away, but I know it is there. As long as I run towards it with all my strength, I will get closer and closer to it.
The Diagonal Street Mechanic Tribe is yours from now on. I firmly believe that under the guidance of your wisdom and will, the Mechanic Tribe will one day become a true Mechanic Tribe. "
Done!
The mechanical people on Diagon Street have engineers, skilled workers, equipment, and technology, but they are scattered and not on a large scale.
By taking down the mechanical tribe in Diagon Street, we can take advantage of the opportunity to repair Cape Port and build our own heavy industry.
It's like adding a layer of steel plate to your rabbit hole.
Now, let’s talk about the second purpose of coming here.
"I sincerely wish the Mechanical Clan all the best. Boss Mighty, I have been troubled by a case recently. Some mines in the northern mines of Nutao City have been involved in human trafficking and slave labor, and these mines are backed by high-ranking officials and even councillors in the Nutao City Government Affairs Office.
The Cape District Secret Service is preparing to launch a surprise operation against these mines in the near future to rescue the slave workers who are being treated inhumanely. However, if we request the cooperation of the city security department, the mines will be prepared.
therefore……"
