Chapter 622, Steam Tank (Part 1)

"On the way to escape from fate, I am singing a song of departure that is gradually drifting away."

"The person I'm waiting for, how far into the future is he?"

Elena held a cup of ordinary Tyrell coffee and complained to herself. Naturally, the female model couldn't drink the Arab coffee ordered by Suria. Leah asked for twenty gold marks for two glasses.

Her words made both Ryan and Suria a little embarrassed. Ryan wanted to say something else, but he respected Suria. Since the female knight signaled her to solve this problem, as a husband, Ryan naturally said nothing. I also understand what the female model in front of me is playing.

"I'm sorry, coffee always reminds me a lot." Elena said a few words, but found that neither Suria nor Ryan were too cold, so she quickly changed her tone: "It's a little abrupt, no Excuse me."

"It's okay." Su Liya calmly added sugar cubes to the coffee with a silver coffee spoon, stirred slowly with a small spoon, then held the handle of the cup with her hand, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Yi Miss Lianna is really funny, it makes me feel that Nuer is indeed slightly different from other parts of the empire."

Elena's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say: "That's for sure, Nur is different from other places in the empire, this is the best place in the empire."

"The empire is the best? Maybe, but I know that this is the place where the empire likes to drink coffee the most." Surya smiled brightly. The female knight always maintained an elegant etiquette, and her every move was watched by Elena And remembering, the female model tried hard to imitate her movements: "Does Mrs. Su Liya also like to drink coffee?"

"Occasionally." Surya was still smiling.

"Oh! Tasting coffee is really the most wonderful thing in this world. The work is very tiring, and there is only one body left, so there is no ideal. The soul has been hollowed out, and I am only breathing like a walking dead." Elena also imitated Su Liya's posture holding the coffee: "But every time the bitter coffee slips down my throat, I can remember that life is not only about the present, but also poetry and the distance~"

Ryan almost spit out all the coffee in his mouth after hearing this.

Poems and distant places...Miss, are you really willing to leave Nuer?

Not to mention the chaotic wasteland in the north and the badlands in the south, you probably won't even go to Middenland and Wessenland, right?

Holy Grail Crusade, please.

"Miss Yi Lianna, seems to be troubled by emotional problems?" Surya said lightly: "I can feel a little bit from your words.

"

"Ms. Suria, don't you think that some men nowadays are really not considerate enough?" Yi Lianna immediately blurted out very naturally: "Sometimes I really envy you, you can marry love, and I can only wait .”

"Then what is Miss Irina's ideal man like?" Surya vigorously stirred the coffee spoon in the cup twice.

"I don't have too high requirements. Just be handsome, be able to make money, be gentle and considerate, understand me, and know how to spend some festivals and anniversaries together." Elena said softly: "Otherwise it means that the quality of life will decline. , I will not devote my youth and life to marriage."

"Then I think I'm lucky, my husband is like this." Suria smiled softly, and she took Ryan's hand: "We are celebrating our anniversary together."

The female model's face immediately changed, she immediately realized what was happening, and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's okay, meeting by chance is also part of the surprise." Su Liya raised her swan-like neck, and there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in her sea-blue eyes: "I am very happy to meet by chance today."

"Thank you... Then, can I have the honor to get your contact address?" Yi Lianna's face changed, she was obviously reluctant to leave like this.

"Of course, if you need something, you can come here to find me." Su Liya casually gave Elena a contact address, and the female model held the piece of paper and left gratefully. Glancing at Ryan, but Ryan never said a word, she had no choice but to leave the cafe in three steps.

"This is Nur." Ryan picked up the coffee and drank the rest of the coffee. He smiled: "Looking at the smile on her getting your contact address, it's like getting Emilia's court aristocratic circle." pass."

"That's her freedom." Su Liya held the coffee and looked at her husband: "It's like what she said, it's her freedom."

"When this freedom faced me, it was about feelings, but when it faced Ah Fu before, it was about conditions." Ryan put down his coffee cup: "The female citizens of Nuer are different from other places in the empire. They often have their own Working, they can support themselves, so they can come to Starbucks for coffee, and they can buy expensive lace dresses and those leather bags, which gives them the illusion.”

After speaking, Ryan suddenly smiled: "I don't have a house in Nuer."

"Yeah, why did the quality of life decline after marriage?" Su Liya sighed in a low voice, and the female knight shook her head. She noticed that the store manager came back: "Let's not talk about this, our answer is here."

The husband and wife stopped their movements, and the female store manager came back. She held a list in her hand and approached quickly: "Your Excellency Ryan, Mrs. Suria, I asked the boss, and he said that he can provide information, but please keep it secret." .”

"Yes." Suria nodded in agreement, Ryan and Suria got up together, and followed the store manager to the backstage.

The female store manager handed an order paper to Ryan, and she bowed and said: "The one who ordered this cup of coffee is Nuer's Golden Smile Concert Hall. They ordered ten cups of coffee in one go, all of which are exactly the same. This square The towel is just one of them."

"Golden Smile Concert Hall?" Ryan frowned, and the clue was broken here.

"Yes, Golden Smile." The female store manager explained again: "This order was already made a week ago. At that time, Golden Smile held a concert, so many guests ordered coffee."

Now both Ryan and Suria find it troublesome. When the concert hall holds a banquet, it must be open to the public. There are many visitors. The nobles and citizens of Nur like music. Who will remember who took which cup at the banquet? Coffee, what's the number?

"But the waiter who went to deliver the goods remembered that the scarf was given to a young lady who was wearing a face mask and a bowler hat so she couldn't see her face clearly, and when she took it, she just said thank you , and then handed the order paper to the waiter as evidence." The female store manager continued.

"Can you show me the order paper?" Ryan continued.

"Of course." The female store manager Doris delivered the order paper to Ryan. It was a plain order paper, except for some wine stains on it. Ryan carefully identified it for a long time and shook his head regretfully: " It seems that the clue is broken just like that...Surya?"

"No, the clue is not broken! You don't know how wrong you are, my dear." The female knight directly snatched the order paper from her husband, put it under her nose, and sniffed it gently: "Well, this It's the smell of sunshine, Bordeaux, Broken Valley! It's the smell of sunshine in Broken Valley! A lady's favorite favor for Bordeaux."

"The taste of the barrel made of fine sandalwood... This barrel has been aged for some years, and the dark wine combines the pleasant aroma of oak, truffle, rose, strawberry, roasted tobacco, and coffee."

"Obviously, this is the Bordeaux Valley wine from 1453, a first-class Obiang wine, also called Hongyanrong." Suria put down the order paper: "Maybe, we can send someone to ask Boderick Your Excellency the Duke's export manager in Nur? Not everyone can afford red wine at this price."

The expressions of the female store manager and Ryan were dull.

"Why, what's so strange?" Suria put down the order paper and stared at her husband playfully: "As the daughter of the Duke of Winford, don't you know that I can taste and identify the products produced in Brittany?" All the wine?"

"You can always surprise me, my wife!" Ryan happily hugged Suria directly: "Great!"

"How can you be your wife if you are not good?" Su Liya showed a happy smile in the envious eyes of the female store manager.

……… I am the dividing line of Madam Long Live………

After getting new clues, Ryan immediately ordered the branch of the Oliver Chamber of Commerce in Nuer to check how many bottles of 1453 Bordeaux Valley first-class Obiang wine flowed into Nuer in the past few years. On the one hand, they naturally know Ryan's energy and are willing to cooperate, but it will take a long time to investigate the whereabouts of these wines. Ryan and the others can only wait patiently.

At this time, the Nuer City Council finally passed the proposal to let Ryan and others visit the Nuer Military Factory, and Ryan and others who came from afar can finally visit the Nuer Military Factory and the Nuer Gun Academy.

Speaking of which, the visit request was quite tortuous. When Ryan proposed to visit the Nuer Military Factory and the Nuer Gun Academy, the first reaction of the Nuer side was to refuse.

The reason is also very good. The Nuer Military Factory and the Nuer Gun Academy have the best muskets, cannons, and war machines in the entire empire, although the most cutting-edge muskets and cannons are more powerful than the Torrent Pass technology where the Dwarven Engineers Association is located. It's still a little short, but this is already the pinnacle of human technology, at least for this world.

And more importantly, the Nuer military factory is the only place in the empire capable of producing and repairing steam tanks, and, recently, this military factory has received a huge order, countless imperial engineers and senior skilled workers and dwarves Engineers are coming together to build a brand new and fearsome machine of war.

No matter how good Ryan's relationship with the empire is, he is from another country after all, and his special relationship with Countess Emmanuel made the entire Nuer circle of nobles dislike him. When I visited the Seoul military factory, I naturally encountered great resistance, and many nobles opposed it.

In the end, he was able to pass based on two points. The first is the large orders that Ryan has brought to the Nuer Military Factory over the years. There is nothing wrong with visiting the military factory. The second point is the attitude of Countess Emmanuel. It is relatively rare for her to tell the nobles of Nuer with a clear attitude in the city council. This is my man. Let him see what's wrong. ?

This allowed Ryan and others to visit the Nuer Military Factory and the Nuer Gun Academy.

The entire factory area is as complex as a fortress, with solid brick walls separating a series of stone buildings. Factory buildings, blacksmith shops, furnaces, and warehouses, Fulgrim's military orders have far exceeded Nur's estimated production capacity. Whether it is day or night, the forging fire has never been extinguished, and the entire city is surrounded by a puff of pungent smoke. shrouded in.

Large sums of gold and silver from Lustria were collected into Nur's warehouse, replaced by never-ending flames and forging. The entire Nur military factory was exuding terrible vitality, and the workers were working in three shifts or even two shifts. Working shifts in the factory, the 996 working system not only did not make anyone feel tired, on the contrary, the whole factory was caught in some kind of frenzy caused by production.

It's very simple. The Nuer military factory has always done more and earned more. The huge profits brought by the large orders made the workers cheer, because the wages also rose on a large scale. At this time, no one dislikes hard work. They are not afraid of more orders , even if there is no order, Countess Emmanuel's control over this aspect is quite strict.

Today, everyone is here to visit Nur, or the highest technological crystallization of the entire empire-the steam tank.

Speaking of steam tanks, everyone’s impression is a creepy steel monster. In war, it will rush towards the enemy rumbling with steam. The ultra-thick steel plate and powerful steam driving force can crush Smash all enemies, the steam cannon shells can be released during operation, sending death shells towards the enemy, it is the ultimate weapon of the empire's bottom of the box, only when the war is critical and the fate of mankind is in danger, the engineering masters of the empire will Consider whether to dispatch such a big killer.

Receiving everyone was Gunter Maybach, the chief engineer of the Nuer military factory. This is a middle-aged man who smells of gunpowder and coal. He held a wrench in his hand and said to the people who entered the military factory: " On the battlefield, the tank commander will decide how to use the steam tank, whether to charge or shoot, this thing is indeed very powerful, but relying too much on steam power may also cause the steam boiler to explode."

"So that's it, so what is the design principle of the steam boiler? Dwarves' compressed steam drive technology?" Ryan nodded, and he asked the Maybach engineer.

"That's right, it's the technology of the dwarves. In fact, we still don't have a complete understanding of the steam technology of the dwarves." The chief engineer Maybach nodded: "Because of this, the design and manufacture of steam tanks are very difficult. For one part, we all need to make precision by hand, and it takes a long time to continuously debug until it can be used and put into battle, which is a long process.”

"So, this is why you can manufacture every part of the steam tank, repair every fault, and modify the steam tank according to the needs of the battlefield, but you can't make a new steam tank?" Ryan pinched his chin and said casually joked.

"Who told you that our Nuer military factory can't make new steam tanks?" Who knew that the big engineer frowned, and he said with some displeasure: "Of course we can make new steam tanks, please don't underestimate them." Our level! Our Nuer military factory can produce a brand new steam tank every one to two years!"

After finishing speaking, the big engineer talked to himself for a while, and he suddenly understood, raised the wrench in his hand and waved it: "Oh, Mr. Ryan, I understand what you mean."

"You got a question wrong."
