St. Ive heard that his face was not very good, and he whispered in Robert's ear: "Do you mean, tell me the whole San Francisco, is there another person in Enfield's best steam rookie in ten years?"
"..."
Robert bowed his head and said nothing.
Saint Yves again said, "By the way, I initiated a commission with Pinkerton through Duke Willand: They were asked to send a thousand agents who are skilled in steam soldiers to enter San Francisco. By Ai President Lun Pinkerton personally led and will be here tonight. You ask the people in the Equipment Test Department to receive them, and when they arrive, take them to the arsenal to get their equipment. "
Robert's face was very surprised: "That's quite a Legion of Steam? What are you going to do?"
"Have you heard of rumors about the Emperor Blue in Chinatown recently?"
"Have not heard."
Robert shook his head.
"It is a rumor that has suddenly become popular in docks and ports. The Emperor Blue will bless the poor Chinese and punish the murderers who harm them."
Robert listened, looking at Saint Yves' eyes as if looking at a lunatic: "You just hired a steam force of more than a thousand people for something that catches the wind? In this case, you shouldn't tinker with those pickles Work. "
"You don't understand, Robert, you don't understand."
Saint Yves emphasized twice, and a haze suddenly appeared on his face: "When checking the equipment returned by the Ministry of Health, a dozens of tons of heavy forklifts were missing, but when they were found later, the fire scene There is only one car frame and scattered parts, the solidified molten iron, which requires at least a few thousand degrees of heat. The driver can't see people, and can't see the dead body. It is said that some people saw black flames burning all over the body during the fire. monster."
"A week ago, an old employee of the stock exchange was taken away by a monster from the street. There were more than ten witnesses. Several police cars were present at the time, and police officers were injured. They are still unconscious in the hospital. More strangely, At least 2,000 gallons of clear water were left at the scene, which is equivalent to the reserves of a fountain. However, the incident occurred in a pedestrian street, and there was no water source for several kilometers. On the same day, a violent explosion occurred in a long abandoned rubber factory in the old street. It is equivalent to a magnitude 4 earthquake. The cause is unknown. "
San Yves rubbed his eyes: "San Francisco must be mixing in something weird."
"You're just suspiciously meaningless."
Robert still disagrees, this kind of obscurity is not worth mentioning in a large city like San Francisco where nearly a million people live.
"I hope so too."
A loud voice pierced into the conversation between the two.
"Whether or not His Excellency St. Yve's concerns come true, Pinkerton will serve you wholeheartedly, and any bull, ghost, and snake will vanish under the torrent of steel."
It was Pinkerton's Serpent Detective Duke Willand.
Robert glanced at Duke Willand and turned away.
"Where are you going, Mr. Robert?"
Duke Wieland asked.
"Sorry, I don't talk to arsonists and executioners."
Robert threw a cold sentence, but was stopped by Duke Willand's chest.
No signs of anger were seen on Agent Duke's face, and he smiled and responded: "I can understand that this is also no way. Whoever asks me to do the dirty work of rubbing my is impossible Like engineers and scientists in white coats, they can wash themselves off while earning wealth and fame by using only the research results of others. "
Robert blushed instantly. He grabbed Duke Willand's collar, but was twisted his wrist by his backhand. After all, he was an engineer, and he could n’t deal with Duke Willand and other perennial criminals. Compete.
"Let him go, Agent Duke."
Duke gently let go of the struggling Robert. Saint Yves winked at him, saying nothing, just sneer.
"Why did you say that to him? From the beginning I didn't agree to the improbable results."
Robert asked St. Yves angrily.
"You haven't refused, haven't you?" Saint Yves seemed to hold Robert affectionately. "Detective Duke is an old man. Even if he isn't, no one in the world would like to believe that the top steam technology comes from a Brutal Chinese. This is irrational. I swear in my honor that as long as you don't acknowledge it yourself, everything you worry about won't happen. "
Robert fell into silence.
"Mr. Robert!"
Suddenly, a group of reporters with cameras came over. "We are" San Francisco News "
"It's your chance to perform."
Saint Yves whispered in his ear.
The reporter's flashlight penetrated Robert like a sharp sword.
Is the giant Imir, the world ’s first eight-core steam individual soldier that can be officially put into production, different from the traditional heavy individual soldier?
"I, I want to say." Robert stuttered: "It will change the landscape of steam wars, I mean, it is powerful enough to determine the outcome of a war."
Flashes flickered one after another.
"The celebration of the fifth anniversary of the completion of the maritime railway is about to begin. You will win the steam award at the celebration. Enfield even invited the entire celebrities of San Francisco to stand for you, even Miss Dorothy came to the dinner What do you want to say about this? "
"This is an honour for Enfield and my personal honour."
Robert's speech grew fluent.
"As the chief designer of the giant Imir and the maritime railway intensive care design, have any colleagues provided you with special inspiration and help?"
The journalist asked again.
"... I want to say that."
Robert swallowed: "The development of each technology is the result of the joint efforts of a whole team. I thank all my colleagues and all the glory shared with them."
On the other side, Saint Yves was also surrounded by a group of journalists.
"His Excellency, today is the fifth anniversary of the completion of the maritime railway. More than 90% of this section of the railway is completed by Chinese laborers, and thousands of Chinese laborers have died in railway engineering accidents. But in five years, no one was in In public, the Chinese must have contributed to the maritime railway and San Francisco. After the railway was completed five years ago, you directly demobilized almost all Chinese workers and displaced tens of thousands of people. In this regard, don't you feel a little bit guilty? "
The banquet was in full swing, and the street was full of traffic, but at the end of the street, I don't know when dozens of pocket versions of the steam soldiers emerged, and the parts on each soldier rattled, as if they were falling apart at any time.
In the banquet hall,
St. Yves glanced at the young reporter and replied calmly: "As far as I know, the Qing government did not have a railway. It was built entirely by themselves. They lacked the ability and knowledge to build the railway independently. How can the Chinese people contribute to the railway? As for the dissolution of the Chinese workers, I have paid my salary in accordance with the contract. If I violate the laws of San Francisco, those people can sue me already? "
The young reporter wanted to ask something, and suddenly there was a surge of people's voice. It turned out that Mayor Michael was giving a speech. Everyone's attention has been attracted to the past, and young journalists can only give up.
At the same time, the road tracks extending in all directions on the street sent a burst of sour noises. Fist-sized track cars slid along the monorail, leaving cracks in the tracks.
During the banquet, Mayor Michael expressed his emotions: "This great railway project was successful because the blood of the four greatest nations of the contemporary was flowing in the blood vessels of the people of San Francisco. Courageous vigor; German philosophical mind and firm spirit; English indomitable perseverance; Irish irritable temperament. They each make their own proper contribution ...
The speech was surging, and the security guards at the banquet door looked up, standing in front of a guy wearing a brass mask and a cape.
"who are you?"
Security asked cautiously.
Chang Yu quietly listened to the speech at the banquet and said hoarsely, "I think it's a San Francisco guy who is not noticed very much."
"boom!"
A violent steam blast cracked all windows in an instant.
