Chapter 58: People really can’t accept their fate
Are the forces under Governor Gu Hang a real technological wasteland?
Yes, but not quite.
Most places are primitive and unspeakably backward.
However, Wu Jiarong was able to see the best alloy plastic steel material here.
This does not refer to the alloy produced by the so-called Wastedong Society's alloy factory, but the special alloy specially shipped to her by the governor.
Others don't realize it. They just think that one of the two materials looks more beautiful on the outside and should be easier to use. But when you go into more detail, they don't know the specific difference. But she clearly understands that this kind of alloy plastic steel can be regarded as a special material.
Not to mention such a poor place as Nuo Xiaoxing, many places with strong industrial foundations are unable to produce this kind of special alloy plastic steel. Even in the foundry world where she used to stay, the output of this material was very low. In many cases, when doing some research and production work, it was very difficult to apply for or purchase this thing.
She didn't believe that this was produced locally on Raging Owl.
There must be some dark secrets here.
She had inquired about it, but she didn't dare to make a big deal about it.
At first, she thought that when the Governor came to this planet, he had stocked up on a batch of high-performance materials, but they hadn't used them up yet. But later, when G9 rifles began to appear, she knew that things were definitely not as simple as she thought.
And now, the Governor sent someone to send her two 'Whetstone' engines with different specifications.
The technical content of this thing is not particularly high, and it is not an advanced product at the level of the entire Xinghai. However, just like special alloy plastic steel, the most rare thing is the craftsmanship value contained in it.
Grindstone engines can be made everywhere, but this is the first time Wu Jiarong has seen such a good one.
It's as if someone has spent his whole life studying how to make an engine that can only be used as a power source for Sanbengzi.
Highlight an outrageous one.
She had a bold idea in her mind.
I couldn't sleep after thinking about it. For a while, I felt that I was really whimsical, but for a while, I felt that it might be true, otherwise I couldn't think of any other explanation.
How could a wasteland planet with no real power governor have such a thing as a black box manufacturing machine? If you want to say that Governor Gu's family, the wealthy Gu family in the Tianma Star District, has collected one, then there is still a slight possibility - just a little
Is it possible that his family brought it to him?
It doesn't feel very realistic either.
Wu Jiarong still couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to think any more.
Will die.
She even started to regret, why did she ask about the secret factory before?
What to do next?
This tossing and turning mentality continued until the next day, making her feel a little uneasy while working.
Then, she heard news that made her even more shaken.
"What? The Governor is coming?"
"Yes." One of her apprentices, a junior specialist, didn't quite understand why his mentor looked like he was in danger.
What's abnormal about this?
It was obvious that the apprentice was confused, but Wu Jiarong had no intention of explaining.
What to say? Your mentor, I seem to have guessed the secret of the Governor-General, and now I am afraid that the Governor will silence him?
She could only prepare in a hurry.
To be honest, the new task given by the Governor required her to come up with two plans that could use two types of 'striking stone' engines, one large and one small. It was actually not difficult to do. Given her level and excellent materials, it would be very simple to produce two types of cars that can run and be used.
However, the time was short, and she had been uneasy recently, so she never did it properly.
The governor was coming now, and she had no choice. She couldn't say that she had done nothing recently. It would be good to seize this little time and just hold on to the idea for the time being. If you don't say you can come up with the design plan right away, at least wait until the Governor asks about it later to have some ideas and a few pictures.
Facts have proved that her advance preparation is still valuable.
When the Governor arrived, she was able to talk more or less eloquently. She could take out the small parts she had just hand-processed with tools and describe her thoughts along with the design drawings. It was a bit awkward at first, because she felt that this temporary thing was a bit rough, and at best it could only be considered running.
But seeing the Governor nodding his head, she gradually relaxed a little.
I still have standards, and the governor's requirements are not that high.
With her mood relaxed, she could express her technical level to the governor more freely.
This is the only thing she feels proud of after coming to Raging Owl Star. In the past, her technical level was not worth mentioning, whether on a forge world or aboard a starship with Tech-Priests. She is the only one on the surface of the Raging Owl Star.
Seeing Governor Gu keep nodding and listening seriously, Wu Jiarong's mood became better and better.
She even began to feel that leaving the starship and coming to the surface might not be such a bad thing. No one can overpower her here. She is the most trusted technician by the Governor. Of course, this is because no one can compete with her. But isn't that a good thing? If you can dominate and be the leader, why should you get involved with a group of other technology tycoons?
Just when she had this thought, Gu Hang spoke again:
"Commissioner Wu, I have another question."
"Sir Governor, please tell me that I can help you answer any questions you have." Wu Jiarong took care of everything with confidence.
"Why are you so curious about the secret factory?"
Wu Jiarong felt like falling into an ice cave.
She now has an idea: people really cannot have the idea of accepting their fate.
In her entire life, as long as she accepts her fate, she will never end well.
The thing you least wanted to face happened.
At this moment, she couldn't even remember all the excuses she had thought about when she was tossing and turning before when facing interrogation.
Seeing Wu Jiarong's face flushed and hesitating and not knowing what to say, Gu Hang instead showed a gentle smile.
"Commissioner Wu, don't be so nervous. You have some guesses, right? Just say it boldly."
Hearing Gu Hang's question, Wu Jiarong seemed to be discouraged.
"Yes... in your secret factory, is there a black box manufacturing machine?"
"Yes." Gu Hang admitted with a smile.
Wu Jiarong got the answer to the question she was curious about before and confirmed her suspicion. But in the current situation, she didn't feel happy at all.
Wu Jiarong sighed deeply: "I would rather you not tell me this. You just need to tell a simple lie, and I will definitely believe it."
"But it's not necessary, right?" Gu Hang stood up and looked outside from the window, "Look here, two months ago, this place was still a wasteland. But now, it has the appearance of a town. More You have also seen the Huidong Society in the distance, and it is booming.”
"Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this does not seem like what a governor is doing, but I am convinced that I am on the right path."
"I want to create a seed here, and finally let it take root and sprout throughout the Raging Owl Star."
"In the future I envision, Raging Owl will be a place with productivity as strong as the Forge World and a living environment as good as the Garden World."
At this point, Gu Hang turned his gaze back to Wu Jiarong:
"Do you believe it?"
