Alchemy Greater China

"You don't need to worry about these things, Lao Yadorf. I just came to inform you as a routine. I repeat, if you sign today, you still have 500 yuan to take. If it passes today, the factory will not give you the money!"

"No, you're dreaming, I won't sign it! You capitalists, are you going to kick me away after exploiting my value? There is nothing so cheap in the world!"

"Well."

The clerk took the dismissal agreement back into the folder, put it under his arm, turned around and left: "Adolf, since you want to stay so much, let me tell you, you can take the ongoing boatman grade exam, as long as you pass the eighth grade, you You can stay! This is the last chance the board of directors has given to you non-Chinese boat workers, you have confidence and you can try it.”

"...Okay, I'm going to take the exam!"

Scenes similar to the above happened one after another in the Kunpeng Shipyard. More than 100 foreign boatmen were given an 'ultimatum' by the clerk.

Proud of them, except for a few who were not confident, they did not choose to sign the dismissal agreement carried by the clerk, but chose to take the boatman grade examination out of righteous indignation.

In any case, you cannot leave Kunpeng!Where can I find the favorable conditions here!

This is the voice of more than 100 foreign boatmen.

The exam was over soon, and most of the foreign boatmen referred to were downcast when they came out: the exam questions were too difficult, and the eighth-level boatman was basically equivalent to the top level among them!

And people of this level, among more than 100 of them, are no more than one hand.

The test results came out soon, and as expected, only three people passed the eighth level, among them was Inzaghi who had a friendship with Long Hao, and the other two were also 60 years old and had 40 years of service Above the old boatman.

I failed the test.Hundreds of boatmen like Adolf who were unwilling to leave were completely discouraged. With their heads down, they walked into the office resignedly, and signed the dismissal agreement one by one under the reception of the clerk.

Fortunately, in order to complete the task of 'don't cause a riot' assigned by Long Hao, Abin.The dismissal compensation given was very generous, so although these foreign boatmen were frustrated, they were not too dissatisfied.

The dismissal and liquidation work lasted for five days.

During these five days, an area of ​​the Kunpeng Shipyard was blocked, and Gao Tianyang's Meiyang and secret agents were even invited to protect it.

A long barbed wire fence encloses a row of warehouse buildings, with only one entrance.

The entrance is guarded by soldiers with steel guns. Behind them, there are even two Maxim heavy machine guns mounted on sandbags!

What's going on here?

Is it guarding dangerous prisoners or protecting important leaders?

A boatman who is familiar with Kunpeng Shipyard passed by from afar.Looking at the brand new barbed wire that was erected recently, he pointed and muttered.

Inside the barbed wire, one of the row of warehouse buildings was brightly lit, and there were solemn and heavily armed soldiers guarding the door.

If Long Hao was present, he would recognize that this warehouse is the empty warehouse that Abin prepared for himself?

Is Breeze still in there?

How could it become such a scene in a few days?How could the defense become so strict?

good.To see what's going on, let's look past the soldiers at the warehouse door.Cast your gaze inward.

Inside the warehouse, several high-power light bulbs were hung in mid-air, casting light without shadows or blind spots.

Under the light bulb are two newly built small houses, no more than ten meters apart, with a few soldiers running back and forth from time to time in the middle.

In one of the small houses, the door was closed.There are only two small openings on the side of the door, one in and one out, similar to the delivery opening of a post box.

A soldier stuffed a blank piece of paper into the opening.

Outside the other opening there were soldiers waiting for the paper to pop out of the opening.

The paper that comes out is densely filled with words or pictures.

Soldiers who get such paper will run to another small house, which is much bigger.The footprint is almost twenty times that of the previous one!

Its door panel was also tightly closed, with only a small opening beside it.

The soldier stuffed the paper into the small opening, and often before letting go, the paper was sucked in as if it had suction.

Outside the two small houses, there are hills of blank paper, and every few hours, the door of the warehouse will be opened, and a carriage of white paper escorted by soldiers will pour down.

The total amount of those white papers is probably ** tons.

After unwrapping the wrapping paper, sheets of white paper are waiting to be stuffed into the small house with two small openings...

In that oversized small house, the lights are bright, and the layout inside is a bit messy, with everything!

There are more than a dozen Chinese with yellow skin and black eyes.

Some were standing, some were sitting, some were squatting, anyway, except for Rong Shangqin, the rest of the Chinese were busy.

There is someone who specially accepts paper behind the small opening, and as soon as a piece of paper is stuffed in, he pulls it as if he has found a treasure, and the action is so urgent that he almost tore the paper full of things several times.

"Lao You, take it easy, if you break one, it will take another ten minutes!"

It was an old Chinese man who scolded Lao You for picking up the paper. He squatted behind Lao You, holding his reading glasses, looking back and forth on the papers spread out in a row, stacking several sheets of paper together from time to time, and sorting them into categories. work.

"That little guy is a fool, one moment is the artillery information, and the other is the power information, mother, do you want to exhaust me to death?"

The Chinese old man Lao Gan beat his waist, muttering and complaining with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

After Lao Gan finished tidying up, someone immediately took away the sorted papers, aimed at a tall bookshelf with many labels, and inserted them one by one.

For example, the machine tool category belongs to the machine tool label, and the navigation category belongs to the navigation label...

Behind the bookshelf, there is a small open space. On the ground are black and heavy iron boxes. A middle-aged Chinese man is pacing back and forth with a few pieces of paper, reading with relish.

If the bookshelf is full, he will stretch out his hand and put the papers in the bookshelf into the iron box and lock it.

"I said, Old Zheng, are these materials really useful?"

The small opening finally stopped for a while and no new paper came in. Rong Shangqin took advantage of his free time and opened his mouth to ask the middle-aged Chinese man who was reading deeply.

"It's useful, it's useful, I've said it many times...You mediocre god, don't bother me. Let me check this formula!"

Without raising his head, the middle-aged Chinese turned around suddenly, picked up a piece of chalk, and scribbled down a few formulas on a wall painted black, and then nervously began to calculate while looking at the paper in his hand.

"Cough cough. You lunatic, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you still have such stinky virtues!"

Rong Shangqin and the man surnamed Zheng were obviously old friends and knew each other's temper, so they kept silent and waited patiently.

"It's true, hahaha, so it can be calculated like this! I, Zheng Tingxiang, have accepted it. This piece of paper has saved me at least two years of hard work!"

Not long after, the middle-aged man finally threw away the chalk, looked up and laughed.

"Yunyao, did the calculation succeed?" Rong Shangqin hurriedly asked.

Zheng Tingxiang turned his head, smiling all over his face: "Successful, these materials are treasures, priceless treasures! Yongshen, your boss is quite powerful. How did you get it?"

Hearing Zheng Tingxiang's positive comments, Rong Shangqin breathed a sigh of relief: "Yunyao. You have built bridges in the United States and participated in many large projects... Tell me the truth, the technology written on these papers is far superior to the existing technologies in the United States. How is the technology?"

Zheng Tingxiang tilted his head, and said: "As far as I can see...at least not bad, there are some places that exceed it!"

"That's good!"

Rong Shangqin let out a long breath: "Ask you again. With these materials, can you build a [-]-ton freighter?"

"Ten thousand tons?"

Zheng Tingxiang thought about it for a minute or two, and said: "These technical materials are all related to the construction of iron-clad ships! Although I am not very professional in shipbuilding, as far as I can see, there are basic materials and some top-notch technical materials. , if the papers that are handed over can maintain this level! The 2-ton freighter...isn't a problem!"

"That's great, I'm not in vain..."

Rong Shangqin's hanging heart finally let go.

It is said that after Long Hao ruthlessly rejected his offer to dominate, he was so tired from crying that he fell asleep disheartened.

At dawn the next day, he suddenly felt something, so he walked to this warehouse. Everyone under Abin's subordinates knew Rong Shangqin, so they didn't stop him.

Rong Shangqin walked to the door of the warehouse and found that the door was unlocked, so he reached out to push it, wanting to see if Master Long was inside.

But as soon as the door opened, he was terrified by the scene inside!

Breeze squatted on the ground, next to a hill made of several stacks of paper.

Breeze lowered his head, staring at his hands intently.

He held a rapidly rotating unknown cylinder in one hand, and a blank white paper in the other, but silver beams of light flashed between the two from time to time. Rong Shangqin at the door rubbed his eyes and was surprised to find: how could the silver beams Every time it flashes, it seems that there are many things on that white paper?

Could it be that the breeze was transformed from mountain spirits and ghosts?

The imaginative Mr. Yongshen almost ran away in fright, so as not to become the food of the ferocious ghosts.

Fortunately, despite being surprised and terrified, our mediocre god remained awake. Holding the door of the warehouse, he called out, "Breeze, Breeze, is that you?"

Be prepared that if the other party doesn't answer or show his fangs, he will lock the door and roast this 'spirit' to death from the outside with a torch!

"Hey, is it Mr. Rong?"

Weifeng didn't know that he had walked before the gate of hell, he stopped the 'printing' work, turned his head and looked at Rong Shangqin with a little surprise: "Why are you here?"

After communicating, Rong Shangqin finally figured out that the fairy-like treasured 'attic' in Breeze's hand was actually a gift from Master Long, and it contained a complete set of technical materials that could build a [-]-ton ship from scratch! !

After the shock, Rong Shangqin assumed the responsibility of the 'Chief of Staff' and blamed Wei Feng: How could you independently 'translate' such confidential information without any precautions?

Manpower must be dispatched to protect you!

Rong Shangqin is not quite used to the fairy term 'printing', so he can only follow his own understanding, thinking that what Little Breeze does is translation.

Breeze still respects senior intellectuals like Rong Shangqin very much, so in the future, he will let Rong Shangqin dispatch troops and make full arrangements, and do the "protection work" that he regrets afterwards.

The barbed wire fence was erected, the surrounding factories and dormitories were emptied, soldiers with guns and cannons were brought in, and Rong Shangqin also brought over the 'same year' he recruited for Long Hao!

Thus, the nightmare of Little Breeze Boy began...

The same year as Rong Shangqin.Among them are famous bridge engineers like Zheng Tingxiang. When they heard that there might be "advanced" technical information, they immediately buzzed like little bees smelling nectar.

Needless to say, Zheng Tingxiang and the others were amazed after reading the few information sheets that Breeze had printed out.Immediately ask Rong Shangqin to implement a strict protection strategy for Weifeng personally!

Ever since, the small house with two small openings, one in and one out, was built on the spot.

Kunpeng Shipyard can even build iron-clad ships, let alone a small house?

It only took less than 20 minutes for Weifeng to be 'invited' into this small house by Rong Shangqin, under the pretense of keeping it secret, but in fact he 'imprisoned' the little Weifeng boy.

No, just as Zheng Tingxiang finished checking the formula, on the other side, Breeze nestled in a small narrow house.While holding up the shorthand pavilion to print, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Rong Shangqin, your little master Breeze greets your daughter!"

It's no wonder that Breeze is so angry, he is also the number one celebrity bodyguard next to Young Master Long, the disciple who secretly opened the Alchemy Gate, but...Rong Shangqin dared to imprison him!

On the right hand side of Breeze, there are sheets of white paper pouring in, and on the left hand side are printed finished papers, and Breeze prints almost numbly.At the same time, he kicked the door facing him fiercely... With two bangs, the door panel of this small house is still motionless!

It's been two days.Except for delivering food and water, Breeze never went out!

Next to the nose, there is a strange smell that is a mixture of the stuffy air in the fully enclosed house and the smell from the toilet. This smell is so disgusting that Breeze almost faints!

"Rong Shangqin, you, Master Breeze, are not slaves. If I hadn't determined to work hard for Master to build a [-]-ton warship as soon as possible, I would go out and lock you in the latrine for a hundred days, a hundred days!"

There is no need to doubt whether Weifeng's words are bragging. As a disciple of alchemy who is only one step away from 100 quarts, it is easy for Weifeng to unlock the door lock of this small iron house, but he always has in his heart the desire to relieve Long Hao's worries. thought.Only then was he still willing to squat in the small house and print materials day and night.

It's only the third day of "imprisonment", and Breeze is still a bit rational, but I don't know what terrible changes will happen as time goes by, if Mr. Yongshen doesn't wake up and let our Breeze out to breathe?

Rong Shangqin didn't know that the disaster was coming, he was still talking with Zheng Tingxiang in the small house next to him.

Rong Shangqin said: "Yun Yao, thanks to your identification this time... Hey, since the effectiveness of these materials has been proved, I will notify Abin and ask him to find someone to study these materials and absorb these technologies immediately. Prepare for the construction of a [-]-ton freighter!"

Zheng Tingxiang said: "Well, although these materials are here and there, let the people in the shipyard get in touch with them early, let alone whether they can start building [-]-ton freighters immediately, but at least their level can be rapidly improved! Hey, anyway I’m here too, so I’ll train them for free!”

Rong Shangqin said happily: "That's a good thing, who doesn't know that you, Zheng Tingxiang and Zheng Yunyao, are the ones in our group who eat the most in front of foreigners. If the imperial court hadn't called you back ignorantly, I'm afraid you would be in the U.S. government right now." Served as a high-ranking official in the confidential department?"

Zheng Tingxiang waved his hand: "Yong Shen's words are serious. Our group of young children studying in the United States are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Let's not talk too far away. Let's take Li Enfu who was "deceived" by you this time with me. Although he doesn't know much about construction machinery Knowledge, but in terms of talent, it definitely ranks among the top three in our group! I am ashamed of it!"

"Hmph, that hypocritical Li Enfu, I heard that Teacher Rong intended to invite him to meet the young master, but he refused because he wanted to finish a book! If he hadn't come to the western United States to give a speech this time, I would It's not that easy to get in touch with him!" Rong Shangqin obviously didn't like Li Enfu, a big bull, and his tone revealed a touch of disdain and faint sourness.

Back then, when Long Hao approached Yung Wing to ask for talent for young children studying in the United States, Rong Hong's first contact was not his family member Rong Shangqin, but Li Enfu who was far away in the Northeast of the United States.

However, at that time, Li Enfu was writing a book against American anti-Chinese, and he had no skills at all. In addition, Long Hao's reputation at the time was indeed not high, so Li Enfu declined Rong Hong.

In desperation, Rong Hong thought of Rong Shangqin, a middle school teacher who was bohemian and wandering all the way.

From this point of view, Rong Shangqin can be regarded as Li Enfu's substitute!Spare tire!jack!

Because of this reason, how can Rong Shangqin, who looks bohemian on the outside but arrogant and conceited on the inside, not have a little grudge against Li Enfu?

Although he suppressed his disgust and invited Li Enfu to San Francisco in order to make meritorious service in front of Long Hao, but this time he discovered that Breeze was printing confidential high-level technical information, he did not call Li Enfu, but called someone who "smells like him" Zheng Tingxiang.

The reason is quite plausible. Li Enfu is a liberal arts student, and Zheng Tingxiang is a science student. Of course, there is no need for liberal arts students to intervene in identifying and sorting out technical information on engineering construction.

Now, Rong Shangqin is quite proud: short-sighted and pretentious Li Enfu, why did you reject Master Rong's invitation back then?Now I, Rong Shangqin, is the young master's number one staff member. Although the strategy of controlling hegemony has been rejected, but with my contribution to strictly keeping secrets this time and the great contribution to recruiting Zheng Yunyao, the young master's trust in me must be even higher. One floor!Li Enfu, Li Enfu, even if you defect to the young master in the future, I am afraid that you will have to follow my ass and eat the ashes for the rest of your life, hahaha, wahhahaha...
