Chapter 331 Chapter 328 The Four Great Inventions

In the face of Lucy's unyielding attitude, Palovic could not take advantage, and he could only try his best to reduce the losses. He had to admit that Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao completed the task well and paid the relevant fees as agreed - in fact, the reward for the task was very small, mainly to repay favors. Since she got the money, Lucy kept it secret from Palovic and did not mention the matter that made him furious.

After that, Peicheng's main work focused on the Grand Expo. In addition to the PCPD and the Riot Strike Team to protect the safety of the city on a daily basis, the four top companies also sent members of the Business Development Department to the scene. In order to be foolproof, the gang members were ordered by their superiors to stay away from the five blocks around the Grand Expo, and the middlemen and mercenaries were also appeased. Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng and his team also had a new job: standing guard for the Grand Expo.

The four top group companies released their epoch-making new products. At the joint press conference, they called them "the four great inventions that create the future." The executive puppet of the Scarlet Group, the shadow copy technology of the Today Group, the safety blue of the 36 Charity Foundation, and the new era car of Dingxin Magic. Each product represents the latest breakthrough and development direction in its field, and the four new products combined can "change the world and take it to a new and higher stage of development."

Zhuang Xuteng didn't believe a word of what they said. Especially Dingxin Mochuang's car, which was clearly Zhuang Teng's gasoline internal combustion engine and the entire vehicle structure. Dingxin Mochuang stole it and claimed it as their own, and then shamelessly said that they made it. Nonsense! Lies! Shameless!

Zhuang Xuteng would never stand guard for such a shameless company, which he made clear when he accepted the task. Others in the team expressed their understanding and felt that there was no problem. Originally, the middleman sent his elite soldiers to the expo as security guards just to use his connections to eliminate possible troubles in advance. As for real security, the top forces of the four major group companies were all on the scene, who would dare to make trouble?

This kind of task of supporting the scene has always been a formality, and the pay is not much, just a little tea money and face money. Each middleman has three quotas, that is, three teams are sent out, each team earns 1,000 euros per day for a total of one week. Zhuang Xuteng and his four companions are one of the teams, and they share the income of 3,500 euros in a week (the middleman keeps half). They arrive at the venue every day and go straight to the employee restaurant on the east side, where they can buy cigarettes and drinks, get various books and magazines, and spend the day listening to music.

Most of the mercenaries choose to stay in the employee restaurant, play cards, brag, and get paid for vacation. Zhuang Xuteng couldn't sit down, so he chose to go to the exhibition area of ​​Dingxin Mochuang.

It can be seen that Dingxin Mochuang is very confident in "its new products". They are placed directly in the middle of the booth, surrounded by a spiral one-way viewing channel. All visitors are treated equally and can only move forward quickly or slowly, and cannot stop or go back. There are no models in the entire exhibition area, and the commentators have been removed and replaced with explanation signs erected on the side of the spiral channel.

Zhuang Xuteng followed the visitors and walked slowly along the spiral road. Whether he was reading the explanation board or staring at the five models in the center of the booth, his heart was dripping with blood, and his eyes were full of the image of his brother. The former Bentu Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has turned into dust in history, and all the related people and events have been covered up. Perhaps some people still have an impression of the concept of "gasoline car", but Dingxin Magic has used millions and tens of millions of euros in publicity to tell everyone over and over again that "it is original".

The power of this kind of advertising is very strong, and it deeply implants the wrong concept into almost everyone's mind. Coupled with the false accusation and liquidation of Bentu Automobile, it can be said that all the knowledge achievements of "cars" and "gasoline power" have become Dingxin Magic's things in legal and historical sense.

The truth can only survive in Zhuang Xuteng's heart with the power of family affection.

Dingxin Magic has launched five models. From the appearance, it should be modified with the most classic models of several companies under its umbrella - that is, the models that will not cause problems. There are luxury business cars, urban commuter cars, simple off-road vehicles, small trucks and a motorcycle model. Judging from the various parameters of the vehicles they listed, excluding the difference caused by the weight of the body parts, these cars are clearly flip-overs of Bentu Automobile.

It is best to buy one and then see if the engine inside is the same. At present, Zhuang Xuteng has a commercial vehicle from Gegongdao and a motorcycle from Morgana. Well... After a brief thought, Zhuang Xuteng felt that it was safest to use a motorcycle for comparison, because Bentu Automobile Company has never sold motorcycles publicly.

That motorcycle was a gift made by his brother specifically for him, and there is only one on the market. Thinking from the perspective of a bad guy, Dingxin Mochuang is likely to have done a good job on the surface, changing the appearance of the engine to distinguish it from Bentu's vehicles to avoid gossip. Models on other production lines may have made such changes, but the motorcycle is likely not to have done so.

At the same time, the engine of the motorcycle in Morgana's hand is different from that used in the car, it is smaller and has Zhuang Teng's own design style. Zhuang Xuteng only needs to compare the engines of the two motorcycles to confirm how shameless Dingxin Mochuang can be, which will also provide "moral guidance" for his future actions.

So he followed the crowd of visitors to the business negotiation point and ordered a motorcycle.

Zhuang Xuteng was despised as expected. Everyone else was talking about orders of tens of thousands, but he only wanted one? Come to think of it, the first three days of the Expo were open to industry customers, and individual visitors could only enter the venue in the last four days. Zhuang Xuteng, as a mercenary, should not be here and was not qualified to place orders.

"I'm very fast and won't waste your time. Otherwise, I'll come back in two days and you'll have to work hard all over again." Zhuang Xuteng gave a reasonable explanation and a reasonable tip. One thousand euros was quite generous, enough for the sales staff of Dingxin Mochuang to "let it go".

"I will add your order to the PCPD order, produce the first batch, and then send it to you. PCPD's patrol motorcycles are more sturdy and have special boxes, but their colors are fixed, and you can only go back and adjust them yourself."

Very good, very good. Zhuang Xuteng nodded with satisfaction and asked for the salesperson's business card. If you need to continue investigating Dingxin Mochuang's products in the future, this is also a way.

It must be said that Dingxin Magic Creation did a good job of keeping secrets, and its car club did not receive any news. Afterwards, Zhuang Xuteng learned that gasoline engines did not perform well enough in professional models such as armored vehicles, heavy trucks, and high-speed sports cars. Except for the starting speed, they could not be compared with the mature steam engine plus electric motor, so no corresponding models were launched. The car club he joined mainly focused on military vehicles and imitation military vehicles, and the product lines were inconsistent, so naturally he did not get the news.

Dingxin Magic Creation specially prepared more detailed product manuals for those major industry customers with established cooperative relationships, including detailed descriptions of relevant technologies and future development prospects. After confirming the order, Zhuang Xuteng also received such a manual, which gave him a deeper understanding of what his brother had invented.

Gasoline engines are not only a means of power, but also a sign that petroleum extracts can finally be transformed from fuel to power energy. Because shadow devices, shadow energy, and shadow spells are "allergic" to petroleum, people have always used petroleum as an isolation material. In fact, there are many applications for the extraction, decomposition, and refining of petroleum. People use asphalt to pave roads and manufacture plastic and chemical fiber products. In this process, various gasoline and diesel were also produced, all used as fuel...

The steam running in the underground pipelines in Peicheng was produced by burning boilers with gasoline and diesel, and the precious coal was used in the more important steam engine. Zhuang Teng's gasoline engine not only achieved internal combustion to generate power, but also solved the compatibility problem between gasoline products and Yingcong equipment, the latter of which is even ten times more important than the former.

According to Dingxin Mochuang's future prospects, it will continue to tackle key problems and solve the technical problems of diesel engines and heavy oil internal combustion engines, so as to apply such machines to trucks and ships. Lighter internal combustion engines for aircraft are also under development, and it is very likely that the thrust-to-weight ratio of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft will be doubled in the future. The weight saved and the reduced failure rate of parts from the dual system of steam and electricity to a single system of internal combustion engines are enough to form a clear technical advantage.

"Only the compatibility problem between gasoline engines and Yingcong equipment has been solved, and nothing else has been completed?" Zhuang Xuteng keenly captured this information. He was a little confused. Dingxin Magic should know that Zhuang Teng is a developer of related technologies. It is not that all technologies are not for sale. Why kill someone for something that can be solved with money? His brother has never expressed his unwillingness, inability, or inability to work for a more powerful company. There is no contradiction between being a boss and making money and entering the technical department of Dingxin Magic to become a senior researcher or an important engineer. Dingxin Magic is so large that it is impossible not to accommodate one more smart talent.

"Why kill him?" Zhuang Xuteng racked his brains and could not think of any reason. Even if the Bentu Automobile Company is the origin of the gasoline engine, Dingxin Magic can buy it completely and turn it into its own subsidiary or a research and development department. According to Zhuang Xuteng's understanding of his brother, as long as there is a suitable hush money, Zhuang Teng can openly admit that he studied the gasoline engine project for Dingxin Magic. This is his invention and Dingxin Magic's project.

There have been precedents like this before. For example, the Safe Blue product of the 36 Charity Foundation was pushed to the front by the doctor named Avatar, right? He said that he was the core and main researcher of Safe Blue and understood every aspect of the product. Regardless of the real situation behind it, Zhuang Teng can at least enjoy the reputation of an inventor, earn real money, and continue to live, just like Avatar.

Being alive is never an excessive request.

"There must be something wrong here." Zhuang Xuteng could only come to this conclusion. "Whoever rejected my brother's proposal and made the decision to kill people in Dingxin Magic Creation is responsible as much as the executors below! No one can run away, and no one can be let go!"

The desire for revenge is more determined, so there is no need to take it out every day to savor and strengthen it, and it can be hidden deeper. When Zhuang Xuteng faced the staff of Dingxin Magic Creation, his expression was indifferent, calm, and even a little happy. This can be interpreted as the joy of ordering a favorite motorcycle, or it can be explained as his disguised expression that is more profound and exquisite.

Returning to his companions with the brochure, Zhuang Xuteng still maintained a relaxed attitude. Zhuang Xuteng had no flaws in all aspects of his expression and movements, but Ge Gongdao felt that he had something on his mind based on his understanding of Naike. Combined with Naike's previous warnings to him and Morgana, he was aware of the "entanglement" between Bentu gasoline cars and Dingxin Magic gasoline cars, which made him even more certain that Zhuang Xuteng had something on his mind.

"Naike, you can tell me anything you have to say. I'm not as smart as you, and I probably won't be able to come up with a solution, but I'm definitely on your side." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng on the shoulder and pushed him a glass juice. "There is no beer here, and I guarantee that there is no safety blue in this juice. The booth of Sanliu Charity Foundation is almost crazy, safety blue is like saccharin, and anything can be added to it."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly. Although Ping An Lan's matter was worth worrying about, he still had an unsolved problem. "Brother Dao, you know that the gasoline engine is from Mercedes-Benz, right?"

"Yes. Regardless of what the TV said, when Bentu took out the product, Dingxin didn't even give a damn."

"In this big expo, the four major groups each came up with new products and combined the 'four major inventions' to promote them. It can be seen from the safety blue that they have already allocated the rights and interests. This kind of conspiracy cannot be carried out in a few days. It will definitely take time to complete, and it may be more troublesome than a corporate war." Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked his own question: "If there is no Bentu gasoline engine, what can Dingxin Magic make up for the expo?"

"Ah? Is this also a problem?" Ge Gongdao smiled and shook his head, saying: "The answer is not obvious! Dingxin Magic Creates weapons, and what they bring out must be weapons. Those new armored vehicles and the weapons on them That’s totally fine!”

"Chemical explosive custom firearm?"

"Yes, it's the kind of thing you gave Lucy. I've used it before, and it's really powerful." Seeing that Zhuang Xuteng was a little confused, Ge Gongdao said, "The time we dealt with Fat D, Lucy bailed me out and asked Have I ever seen a similar weapon? I probably asked our master, he also raided Fatty D’s office! That weapon is really powerful, except that it can’t track and aim, and it’s a little bigger, but it’s better than the shadow gun in other aspects. ”

"It turns out you saw a shotgun that time. I never knew about it."

"Don't worry, brother, Lucy has a lot of work to do before and after the mission, especially cutting off the tail and cleaning up the traces, those annoying finishing tasks. She will definitely have to investigate and find out every possible problem. If it is just for intelligence support, the middleman is not qualified to share half of the money. Nightingale and Yanque can also provide intelligence support and support in the fight, right?"

"Well, I understand. But let's talk about Dingxin Magic! Brother Dao, do you think that kind of firearms can be counted among the four great inventions? I mean, I know these four great inventions are quite bragging, but firearms Compared with shadow copying technology, it’s not that powerful, right? We have a shadow gun, right?”

"The shadow gun has side effects, which is a troublesome thing. I think Ding Xin Mochuang's gun has no side effects, and it is placed on an armored vehicle and can be fired without anyone holding it. That is more than a bit powerful." Ge Gong Dao made several gun-holding gestures and further explained to Zhuang Xuteng: "Don't forget one thing. There are no side effects, that is, everyone can hold a gun. Do you still remember the "Gun Carrying Act"? I feel that that bill is not For the Ying Cong Gun, it’s obviously for this new gun! Does it taste like this?”

Zhuang Xuteng frowned. If the gun laws are also included in the series, the taste will be right immediately. As the manufacturer of the Bone Spear Black Spear, Zhuang Xuteng knew very well how much profit the Shadow Cong Gun made. He was just a secret handicraftsman, earning trivial black money. As the leader in the firearms industry, Dingxin Magic’s profits must be astronomical, at least on the same level as cars.

Considering the scale of the industry, firearms are not weak. The TV keeps shouting "Everyone should hold a gun to protect themselves, defend against bad guys and purify society" all day long. Obviously, the groundwork has been laid and the goods are just waiting to be spread. The output of Keying Conggun has been slow to increase, and side effects are also a threshold. The elderly, weak, sick, pregnant and young are not suitable for use. These are obstacles to large-scale distribution. Switching to chemical firearms eliminates these concerns. The only thing we have to worry about is that everyone's firepower is too strong, which will definitely cause a huge headache for PCPD and other management agencies.

Firearms, no matter how beautiful they are, are still tools of killing. If you replace the firearms with cars, it sounds much better. Thinking of this, Zhuang Xuteng gave a wry smile, then Ping An Lan's reputation would be better? Even though the Sanliu Charity Foundation bought overwhelming advertising and publicity, constantly boasting about the safety and medicinal properties of Safe Blue, there are still voices outside that "this is a new type of drug."

Some experts stood up and said: "Drugs can also be regarded as one of the four great inventions? Why are they compared with industries such as automobiles? Shadow copying technology is also a huge progress, and the execution puppet also has broad prospects. A substitute for drugs, a The treatment program only benefits a "very small number" of addicts in society and is not noticeable to the general public. It is recommended that it be eliminated. "

Makes sense? There must be some, but this expert is not criticizing safety blue, but giving it a platform. The above paragraph first affirms the alternative and therapeutic nature of safety blue, but where is the case? Where are the social tracking surveys? None of this exists yet, so how can we be sure of it?

Furthermore, since when have blue crystal addicts become a miniscule amount? Zhuang Xuteng was walking on the street. Whenever there were more than twenty people gathered, Zhuang Xuteng could find the user of the blue crystal. Sometimes, the whole street is full of drug addicts, who are wandering, decadent and collapsed, lingering like zombies. This expert is clearly telling lies with open eyes and taking money to lick his bad feet. All his foreshadowing is just for one key point: the general public cannot feel it.

Because "the general public cannot feel it", it must be "excluded from the four great inventions". So as long as the "general citizens" feel it, they don't need to be eliminated? In order not to be kicked out, in order to prove that Sanliu Charity Foundation is not an organization managed by fools, fools, and braggarts, it is best to let the general public feel it!

Zhuang Xuteng smelled the smell of conspiracy, just like the gun bill paved the way for chemical weapons and the medical aid bill paved the way for shadow cloning technology. In order to increase the sales of safety blue, the Sanliu Charity Foundation has begun to promote and build momentum, sending a large number of "specialist" guys to appear on the scene to continuously bombard advertisements. They are also divided into three parts. One part is dedicated to saying good things about Safety Blue. The other part is dedicated to joining the anti-Safety Blue guys and then splits and disintegrates, engaging in cross-talk activities. The third part adopts an objective, fair and calm attitude and gives both sides the same opportunity to speak. , and then overtly or covertly sidestepped. The three waves of people work together to safeguard the interests of Sanliu Charity Foundation.

"I went to look at the booth of Safety Blue. Anyway, all the scientific research institutions, drug regulatory agencies or laboratories have only good things to say about it, and none of them have any problems." Ge Gongdao curled his lips and said: "Shadow Copy The same goes for the technology and execution. They look extremely good and everything is perfect. From a side-by-side comparison, the car is pretty good, at least it doesn’t mean you don’t need to spend money on gasoline.”

"Brother Dao, have you gone to see them all?"

"I went and walked around in a circle. I didn't look very carefully - except for the execution puppet." Ge Gongdao frowned and said, "How should I put it? The execution puppet on the booth looks a bit crude, like a shopping mall. The model that hangs clothes inside. I feel that it is far inferior to the purple-skinned man we have seen, in terms of strength and flexibility, but it is understandable, after all, it is only used for work. "

"How do they work?" Zhuang Xuteng asked curiously.

"Currently, I can only do some repetitive activities, such as walking back and forth and carrying things. If I follow the master and continue to receive instructions, I can also complete some slightly complicated tasks. They have covered it up so that he can learn how to operate various tasks. Mechanical. Once it is learned, it can be operated independently, but it cannot handle accidents and emergencies. I feel that if the Scarlet Group really wants to release the Purple Man, then the product must be there. Will steal the head!"

"Yes! The combat power of the purple-skinned men can already deal with the members of the riot control team. How can they not be in demand..." Zhuang Xuteng only sighed when he thought of the four great inventions.
