Steel steam and flame

The sound of the trumpet did not decrease much as a few hours passed, and it became loud. The people who stayed on the road in front of the gathering town were still shouting loudly, and quarrels and insults became the theme at this time. The arrival of early morning allowed more people to see their surroundings clearly. Some people had already picked up their basic luggage, left their cars and started to evacuate on foot away from the mine base.

Within a few minutes of Cassia arriving at the gathering town from a distance, the flow of people on foot gathered. Several lines of different colors appeared on both sides of the road, slowly extending towards the main road leading to the city behind.

In the gathering town, the empty streets are full of traces of chaos after haste. Some people took advantage of this time to do other things. At least not one of the shops on both sides of the street was spared. The iron shutter door in front of the shop was smashed with a big hole, and the glass windows were rarely intact. A lot of things were discarded on the ground. Passing by a clothing store, Cassia slipped in and changed into clothes that were not suitable for ordinary people and could be regarded as combat clothing.

In Cassia's mind, it is still unclear whether the internal war in the Chil Kingdom still needs its own follow-up. Whether Patrick's death will cause more considerations among the Imperial surgeons is not something he can decide. Currently, all three super vapor compression devices are in hand. Cassia will transport them away from the kingdom only when the internal war becomes more intense and no one will think about these things anymore.

One of the plans has been completed, and the rest can only be waited for the news from Waters. There will definitely be regrets. If the development of artillery and shells can catch up with the time, Cassia believes that the funds in hand at this moment will be dozens of times the current amount.

Know that this is just an unrealistic fantasy. Even if Delya has a lot of perfect samples for dismantling and research, if you understand the manufacturing methods and know all the aspects of making artillery and shells, you cannot immediately rely on these technologies to obtain huge profits.

Many black marketeers and arms dealers are stuck at this stage. As someone who has spent several years in a steam factory, Cassia naturally understands the key reason.

Knowing the manufacturing method often does not mean that production can be carried out immediately. In the Tushini region, Delya and others have been able to produce finished artillery and shells in the laboratory, but if they want to move them to a complete assembly line, the transition and preparation in between have always been full of huge difficulties. .

This is why Webley's complete assembly line is so valuable. They are both factories that make platinum bullets. With the input of the same raw materials, the process designed by Webley and the given process data can output these raw materials into finished products with guaranteed quality and quantity, and the time required will be reduced. Very short.

Comparing the technology of other companies, if Webley's output is regarded as one, then the standards of these companies can often only reach about 0.7. And among those companies, this 0.7 may be considered very, very good.

Complete and stable mass production is almost on the same line as R\u0026D. Because there are too many things that need to be solved, in many factories, R\u0026D may be a business that can get results quickly as long as you are willing to invest money. However, mass production requires time and verification and careful polishing of mass production.

The streets are full of messy waste. Except for some old people who have settled here, it is difficult for Cassia to see other people. The gathering towns turned into fresh and well-preserved ruins, and Cassia felt a little emotional while walking on the street. The fear and helplessness of these people can be felt through the loudspeakers and noises coming from far away, but this is limited to feelings.

At this moment, Cassia felt that compared to these small countries, the empire did have many standards that they could not reach. This kind of scene will not appear within the empire during peacetime. For small countries, the frequency will appear much more frequent.

According to the memory, go to the place where Finia and others are imprisoned. Weimer and others have not yet returned, and communication cannot be reached. Cassia has no way of knowing their situation.

The empty room and the empty buildings around made the "questioning voice" of Finia and others very obvious.

"Mr. Soriato!" Finia shouted immediately when he saw Cassia behind the door. Gers nodded as a greeting, but more importantly, he didn't know what he was doing under the current situation. Something should be said.

After releasing the steel cable ropes tied to the two of them, Cassia then went to other rooms and released all the other three people.

"Now you can move freely." Cassia said to the five people in front of him. "You are all aware of the bombing. The internal war officially started in the early morning. Next, I want to discuss your employment agreement with Weimer. It will naturally be lifted. But whether the employment payment can be obtained smoothly, I can't answer this for you. I am just responsible for coming and letting you go, and I am not very clear about the rest."

None of the five people made any move, they just looked at each other. The stalemate lasted for nearly a minute or two before someone turned around and left. Soon, only Finia, Gers and Cassia were left in the room.

"I wonder what your plans are in the future?"

"The mercenary will not be delusional. As a bounty hunter, there is no fixed place of activity." Gers looked at Cassia and answered, while thinking about the meaning of Cassia's words, "Probably he will leave the Kingdom of Chir and be in a In a country at war, a large number of mercenary tasks will be connected with the war in the future. After these things have happened, I think that for a long time, I will no longer be willing to encounter these things."

"It's better to know where your strength lies..." Gers added, feeling like a failure.

Cassia hummed and looked at Finia. Being stunned, Finia said the word "I" and could no longer say the rest.

"If you don't mind, you can follow me. Of course, it will definitely be more dangerous than you being a bounty hunter, I think. But the corresponding benefits and interests will definitely be much better than what you are now. Money and the like will only It's the foundation. The way you improve your strength is through mechanized transformation. I can provide you with better materials and mechanics with better skills. By the way, I don't know if you are interested in the empire, that is, the Shengdorag Empire. , and the other is the surgical development project. I think you have heard of this, right?"

"If you are interested, I can provide you with the opportunity to develop in the empire. The same is true for surgical development projects. Specific methods and materials, auxiliary drugs, etc. will all come naturally after that."
