Chapter 580 The aftermath of the rebellion
“Oh, oh, oh, is our great chemist going to get involved in politics?”
Paul said the above words with some irony. .
“I think this is not a political matter, Lord Graiman, I am protecting an outstanding talent who may have a bright academic future and may make great contributions to your territory. Tennyson Fadeev - this is the name of the student. He has been staying at the college for the past two years and occasionally goes back to visit relatives. He is also a research madman and spends most of his time in the laboratory. I imagine There is no way that such a guy who is almost insulated from ordinary people's lives could be involved in the conspiracy of the rebellion."
After speaking out his request, Wells lost his previous timidity and returned to his former self. With confidence, he defended his students confidently.
"But his last name is Fadeev." Paul said with a livid face.
But he was secretly laughing in his heart. In fact, after Wells said that there was such a person in his prison, Paul had already made a decision in his heart, but for a certain purpose, he still Decided to stimulate Wells.
Wells had a ridiculous expression on his face, waving his arms in exaggerated movements and shouting: "Lord of Light, just because I have a family that was determined at birth and that I couldn't choose. Form? Oh, my Lord Grayman, I thought you were a lord who was different from those other bastards and had beautiful characteristics such as enlightenment and kindness."
Wells' words aside. Burns was frightened. How dare he say this to Count Grayman in front of him.
"Wells, speak carefully." He reminded.
Paul waved his hand to Burns, indicating that he didn't mind, and then said to Wells: "Say a thousand, say ten thousand, I will punish this guy named Fadeev, and he will not be punished in the whole territory of Aldo." Will be morally condemned."
Wells's face gradually darkened, and he was obviously angry. If the person he was talking to was not a lord who could chop off his head, he would be able to cut off his head. He might have started to curse a lot.
Okay, Paul thought to himself, this level of stimulation is enough.
"But..." he changed the subject, "I think of myself as an open-minded person, especially...when it allows me to get what I want."
Get what you want? Wells noticed the emphasis in Paul's words.
"So what do you want? Mr. Grayman, after you achieve your goal, can Tennyson be released?"
Paul slowly moved to a chair next to the workbench and sat down. Directly facing Wells.
"A few days ago, several businessmen from Jiaowan asked if they could buy armor and weapons that can be mass-produced, cheap, and of high quality here in Northwest Industry. But as you know, we are now The metal ordnance that can be mass-produced is basically made of wrought iron, which is cheap for big soldiers. The high-quality armor for the knights requires blacksmiths to beat the wrought iron into thin sheets and put them on the charcoal fire. Repeatedly calcining, or stacking pig iron and wrought iron together and forging them repeatedly, you can get better quality iron, or steel. Only armor and weapons made of this material can be considered to be of high quality."
"Oh, by the way, I noticed..." Paul interjected: "In our current era, there seems to be no strict distinction between iron and steel. In the eyes of most people, steel is of better quality. It’s just iron, or the two terms are simply mixed. Now I will formally distinguish them. Steel is steel and iron is iron. Okay, let’s continue..."
Paul looked at Wells and spoke slowly. Su said: "The old methods of converting iron into steel - such as the two I just mentioned - are really inefficient. What I want to know is, first, when iron is converted into steel, During the process, what essential changes have occurred, or what substances have increased or decreased that contributed to the difference in characteristics between the two? Secondly, after obtaining the answer to the first question, can we use this answer to explore A method of making steel on a large scale is just like how we smelt iron - it flows continuously from the blast furnace instead of being hammered out by blacksmiths. ”
hiss! Welles's Burns gasped, both points made by Count Grayman are quite challenging.
Paul continued: "With a way to make steel on a large scale, we can meet the needs of our customers and get their orders. Wells, that's what I want."
Wells gritted his teeth, cold sweat patted his forehead and you lay down, "I wonder when Mr. Grayman wants the results?" "As long as it's before the verdict is announced. I estimate that the trial will last for a while. Years. Oh, yes, if you can find the answer, I will pardon Tanis, but if you can find the answer within half a year, not only Tanis himself, but also his family-I'm talking about those who don't I can also pardon the family members who were directly involved in the rebellion."
"Okay! Lord Graiman, I, and my colleagues, will work hard to find what you want. The answer.”
Wells nodded and agreed, "But, can you please let Tennyson come to the laboratory - on the offence, because he is an important helper to me, and I guarantee with my reputation and life that he will never do it." Run away.”
Paul did not respond immediately, but was silent for a few seconds, seemingly thinking.
"Okay," he nodded, "then let him come back to you."
"Thank you, Lord Grayman. I hope to start work as soon as possible, It’s better to find your answer as soon as possible, so..."
Paul walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a paragraph on a piece of white paper, then handed it to Wells and said: "You can do it now Take this piece of paper to the Director of Public Security, Ruth Hayden, he knows what to do."
Wells took the paper, bowed to Paul with a hint of gratitude, and exited the workshop. Now he didn't want to delay for a moment.
After the door of the workshop was closed, Paul said to Guy Burns who stayed behind: "These alchemists will not work well without stimulation."
"Huh? What does this mean?" Burns asked.
"Hey, what would happen if I directly agreed to him? He led the people back, and then I assigned him the task, and asked him about the progress every three to five. Wells, I asked you to do it. What's going on? He replied - Master Graiman, what am I doing? Oops, the experiment is very troublesome. In fact, he may not be able to get the results right away. Qian is secretly doing another research that he is interested in. So, he has to be restrained."
"Haha, that makes sense." Burns just finished chiming in. I felt inexplicably cold. Could it be that the count was also taking the opportunity to warn me.
He quickly changed the subject: "Sir, are the customers from the Kakuwan Alliance you just mentioned... still from the Kakuwan Alliance?"
When manufacturing weapons and armor for the Kakuwan Alliance, he was responsible for the machinery The factory also takes on part of the task, so we know.
Paul glanced at him and smiled mysteriously: "No, it's from the Corner Bay Church."
"Huh?" Burns was a little surprised.
Paul revealed to him: "The people from the Corner Bay Church said that when they were fighting the enemy, that is, the Protestant army, they encountered some... very strange guys, in terms of weapons and protection. They were very disadvantaged, so they looked for ways to make up for their disadvantages in both offense and defense, and then they found out about us. But if we only rely on our previous products, we can only equalize the disadvantages. Now they want to overwhelm the opponent.”
Burns said: "But you have already sold weapons to the Corner Bay Alliance."
"So what?" Paul took a sip of water and said matter-of-factly: "I am a qualified munitions officer." Business.”
