MTL - Age of Mysticism-Chapter 373 Chief's ambition

  Chapter 373 Chief's Ambition

  Helke King was waiting at the appointed cafe. He was wearing a large windbreaker and looked a bit bloated. The brim of his top hat was pressed down very low, and only his chin could be seen.

  The cup of coffee in front of him had cooled down, but he didn't have the mood to taste it.

  A brief but very important private gathering was held at the Hot Spring Manor yesterday. According to the limited information we heard, Luke was entrusted with a heavy responsibility to be responsible for the follow-up development of the Titan 1.

   And according to other intelligence channels in the ice cave, the "Titan Project" is just the beginning. As long as Luke's steam laboratory produces results, there will be many advanced research and development waiting for Luke to participate in.

  All the consortiums of Yate County United are staring at Luke closely, and various wooing actions have not been implemented, and there has been an increased competition with each other.

   Luke, who has mastered the two-phase steam engine of water molecules, is now a dark horse in Dongdu, and the future is really limitless.

  Helkkin found out that as a veteran agent, he should have seen too many storms, but this time he received Luke's appointment, why couldn't he help but feel a little nervous?

  This is an opportunity. Whether you can get rid of the identity of the ice cave in the future and truly enter the upper class circle depends on this interview.

  Luke and Dalikova walked into the cafe together, and then found that there was no customer in the cafe except Helkkin.

  Darikova said in a low voice: "It must be Hurkkin who has booked the entire cafe. What do you want to eat? I'll go and order for you."

"A cup of coffee, two bagels, a sausage, and an fried egg. Order whatever you want, and I will charge it to you." Luke asked Dalikova to order, and then walked to Helkkin and sat down: "Chief, what are you doing so mysteriously for an ordinary meeting?"

  Helkkin said: "Meeting with the people in the ice cave in private, if it gets out, it will greatly damage your reputation. The big shots need us, but they all hate us.

  Sometimes I really envy the colleagues of the Golden Shield Empire. "

  Luke said with a smile: "Such words should not come out of your mouth."

   "I know that Mr. Luke is an upright person, and he will not spread my grievances. The purpose of your meeting with me, Darikova has already told me, you need the ice cave to provide you with protection?"

   Entering the topic, Luke said: "Yesterday's gathering was beyond my expectations. You should know about the 'Titan Project'."

Helkkin looked at Dalikova who was ordering food, and replied to Luke in a low voice: "The 'Titan Project' is the key protection object of the Ice Cave, and there is a team of Ice Cave agents working 24 hours a day. With security guards in the dark and Major Arrow's **** team, you can rest assured about security issues.

  For your private security…

  In addition to the security team serving you on the bright side, Harut Heavy Industry has a more powerful force in the dark, always guarding around you. If our ice cave sends someone to protect you again, it will make Mr. Elvis unhappy. "

  Helke King's words are consistent with what Luke himself noticed. Since accepting the exclusive interview with "Steam Weekly", there are many more stalkers around him. And their position is not like monitoring, but protection.

   It can now be determined that these people belong to Harut Heavy Industries.

   "If I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have found them."

  Helke Jin said with a smile: "You are an inestimable asset to Harut Heavy Industries, how could Mr. Elvis entrust your safety to a team of ordinary security guards.

  Even our meeting this time is under their surveillance. If I show any hostility towards you, they will immediately stop me. "

   "It looks very powerful." Luke turned his head and looked outside, as if looking for someone who was secretly protecting him: "But being watched like this makes me very uncomfortable, as if I am a criminal suspect."

   "This is the helplessness of becoming famous, and as your status and reputation increase, your protection will only become more stringent.

unless…"

   Luke asked, "Unless what?"

   "Unless you can prove to Mr. Elvis that you will always belong to Harut Heavy Industries and will not be poached by any other consortium."

   "This does not seem to be easy to prove."

"It's easy to prove." Helkkin said to Luke mysteriously: "Mr. Elvis has a daughter. As long as you marry his daughter, you are your own person of Harut Heavy Industries. Not only can you get With a large share of Harut Heavy Industry, whatever you want to do in the future can be very smooth."

  Luke looked at Dalikova who was still ordering, and said to Herkkin: "I haven't even met Mr. Elvis' daughter, how can I marry her casually?"

  Helke King persuaded: "Marriages in big families are all for the benefit of the family, Mr. Elvis must be very willing to marry his daughter to you.

   Of course, you don't need to be bound by marriage... As long as you don't overdo it, Mr. Elvis won't interfere too much in your private life. "

  In Helkkin's view, all the conditions for Luke to soar into the sky have been met. He is talented, has the favor of Molson, and is responsible for the development of important national projects. The only thing he lacks now is the full support of the big consortium.

  As long as Luke enters the Elvis family, the smoke and dust will be enough to take him away.

  For Luke, this meeting with Helkkin was surprisingly smooth. He didn't need to guide himself, this guy was already on the path to let him go.

  I have to feel how much Helkkin dislikes his identity in the ice cave, and how obsessed he is with climbing up.

   "This is a good suggestion! But, isn't it too abrupt to propose marriage to Mr. Elvis?"

   Seeing that Luke was willing to marry the young lady of the Elvis family, Hulkkin was happier than getting married himself: "Of course it is too abrupt to propose marriage suddenly, and it will leave a stain on the outside world that you cling to the consortium.

  Leave this matter to me, and I will talk to Mr. Elvis in secret. First arrange a banquet for you to meet Miss Angelia, and then a vigorous love will unfold.

  After you develop the water molecule two-phase steam engine, and you propose marriage to Mr. Elvis, no one will dare to talk nonsense anymore. "

   Luke pretended to think for a while, and replied to Helkkin: "Okay, you can arrange it.

  Thank you for being invited this time. "

  Helkkin heard that Luke was about to end these meetings, and he immediately stated his intention for coming this time: "Mr. Luke, I have some personal matters that I would like to ask for your help."

  Luke said: "You are the head of the ice cave. If you find it difficult, I'm afraid I can't help you."

   "No, no, no, only you can help me with this matter." Herkkin looked at Darikova again, she was very sensible and didn't come over, and gave the two people room to talk secretly. Then Helkkin said to Luke like a pious apprentice: "Mr. Luke, you know that I have a very strong interest in steam technology. I will buy every issue of "Steam Weekly" and read it carefully. I read a lot of steam books for self-study, but...

   Not afraid of your jokes, I have quietly taken the steam engineer qualification exam many times, but every time I fell short.

  I have thought over and over again that my repeated failures are due to the lack of guidance from famous teachers. You are a fourth-level member of the Society of Steam Engineers, have published many high-quality papers in "Steam Weekly", and have also accepted an exclusive interview with the editor-in-chief of Molson.

  If... If you are willing to accept me as an apprentice and teach me how to learn steam technology, I will definitely be admitted as a steam engineer next time. "

  As an "actuary", Hulking made his own calculations very carefully.

  The normal way to take the steam engineer exam requires real talent and learning. Helkkin knows that his talent in this area is indeed very average, and he will definitely fail the normal exam. But having a well-known steam engineer as a mentor makes a big difference. Just relying on Luke's current status in the Society of Steam Engineers, guessing the questions casually, and making some adjustments in the final defense, wouldn't he be able to get the certificate smoothly?

   Moreover, Luke agreed to join the Elvis family, and he was his first apprentice. With this relationship, he would definitely give him a hand no matter what position he rose to.

  As long as Luke nods, the future can be said to be bright.

  Although Luke guessed Helkkin's Xiao Jiujiu, he still showed a look of surprise: "I think your interest in steam technology is just a hobby, sir, I didn't expect you to take the steam engineer qualification exam.

  That kind of difficulty cannot be easily passed by self-study. "

   "Yes! For example, I have been unclear about the steam flow value in parallel dense pipelines; there are also changes in the pressure vortex formula."

  Luke said: "This is indeed an error-prone point, not only need to consider complicated factors, but also require a lot of calculations.

  Since you like steam science so much, I can teach you. But accepting you as an apprentice... I need to examine your talent in steam science, let's talk about it after being admitted as a steam engineer. "

  Helke King knew that he wanted to be Master Luke's apprentice, and this request was a bit excessive. But fortunately, Master Luke did not completely refuse, and there will still be opportunities in the future.

  First get the steam engineer qualification certificate.

   "Thank you very much, Mr. Luke!" Hulking stood up and saluted Luke as a disciple.

  Luke said: "The teaching place is in my steam laboratory. The Titan I is a very good teaching tool. If you can learn 15%, it is enough to get the steam engineer qualification certificate."

   This is definitely another surprise for Helkkin.

  Guided by Master Luke, practice with the Titan I, steam engineer exam...you can pass it with your eyes closed.

"Thank you again, I won't disturb you and Ms. Dalikova sharing breakfast." Helkkin saluted Luke again, and whispered: "Please rest assured, Dalikova is in the ice cave. All the files have been destroyed, she is a free person and has nothing to do with the ice cave."

  Having achieved his goal, Hulking left very tactfully.

  Darikova took the dinner plate and walked to Luke and sat down opposite: "Looking at Helkkin's appearance, you must not be talking about protection."

  Luke picked up a knife and fork to cut fried eggs and ate them: "Herkekin asked me to marry Mr. Elvis' daughter. Her name seems to be Angelia. Do you know her?"

  Hearing that Luke was going to marry a lady from the Elvis family, Dalikova was in a daze for a while, but quickly adjusted her emotions: "Yeah... only a lady from a consortium is worthy of you.

  As for Angelia, she has a bad reputation, a bad temper, and a chaotic private life, but she looks good.

   If you need her lineage, this is a marriage that many people are happy with.

  Did you agree? "

   "Agreed." Luke said casually while eating breakfast.

  Darikova said with a very bad complexion: "This...is not like the you I know."

"What can I do?" Luke pointed outside: "You must know that Harut Heavy Industries has someone following me around the clock to prevent me from investing in other consortiums. If I don't have the protection of the editor-in-chief of Molson, they may go too far .”

  Darikova didn't refute, that's the fact.

  And marrying Elvis' daughter will greatly help Luke's future.

   “We all have to submit to the consortia and oligarchs.”

   "Don't talk about such unhappy things! Eat quickly, and then go to work... You go to my steam laboratory to report first, experience the new weapons, I will go back after checking the lines to be checked today."

  Darikova asked: "What new weapon?"

   "When it arrives, you will know."

  …

  Dongdu Magic Steam Academy.

  Clear Sky received the visiting Davrion engineer.

After listening to Davrion's intentions, Qingkong said: ""Nylonia Mystery and Ancient Witchcraft Handbook" does have a secret technique, which can make water pipelines without changes in thermal expansion and cold contraction, but if you want to achieve convection The air wall of the hood is not enough.

  I can add the development of this occult technique to my schedule, and I will send someone to notify you of any progress. "

Engineer Duffleon did not expect Qingkong to agree to his request so easily, he said gratefully: "The secret technique may be the last solution to solve the air wall of the convection hood, thank you Professor Qingkong for your selfless help, what can I do for you? Did you work?"

   Qing Kong said with a smile: "Academia has no national boundaries, and this is not free help. If the secret technique is successfully developed, I will charge a patent fee.

   I heard that editor-in-chief Molson is in poor health. I am very sorry that I cannot see him this winter. "

  Engineer Davrion shook his head helplessly: "You can't leave Winter City Magic Steam Academy, but editor-in-chief Molson can't come here, maybe you really want to miss it this time."

  Qing Kong asked knowingly: "Isn't the editor-in-chief Morsong the head of the Dongdu Magic Steam Academy before? Why can't he come here?"

  Davrion replied: "It's not a secret anymore. Dongdu Magic Steam Academy used to be two schools, the Magic Academy and the Steam Academy. Later, with the help of Molson, the two academies merged into one academy.

  When they merged, the two academies quarreled over who was ahead and who was behind 'magic' and 'steam'. In Dongdu, the 'steam' faction has a very high status, but the mainstream in the world is that 'magic' is higher than 'steam'.

  When Molson was the dean, the 'Magic' faction and the 'Steam' faction were relatively peaceful, but after Molson left office, the contradictions between the two parties emerged again. If the editor-in-chief Molson came here, someone would definitely propose to him to change the Winter Capital Magic Steam Academy into the Winter Capital Steam Magic Academy.

  Editor-in-Chief Molson's body is not fit to deal with such disputes anymore. "
