Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 31: Talk about ideals with people with high ideological levels
The Fire Dance Tavern is located on an inconspicuous stalagmite island to the west of the Golden City Walled City.
Su Lun didn't know how long it would take Dr. Pickman to refine the gene potion, and the two of them didn't agree on an exact time, so they just wanted to go and take a look first.
Time suddenly became a little tight.
Because when he was buying supplies in the city, he received a communication from the acting captain of the 15th Division of the 9th Fleet, where he is now, saying that the pirate group has been taking action in the past few days, and Yao will be ready to go to sea at any time.
Su Lun also thought that it would be best to get everything done in these two days.
It took a while to cross the sea by sampan. The taverns on the island are much cheaper than those in the walled city. They are quite popular among the low-level pirates, so they are also very lively.
Su Lun followed his memory and found the Fire Dance Tavern, entered the door, and gave the agreed code to pick up the goods.
I didn’t expect it, but I got something unexpectedly!
Su Lun took the sealed package and walked onto the street. When he felt that no one was following him, he changed to a restaurant and walked in. I found a seat by the window, opened the package, and saw an iron box with a mechanical code lock...
87065.
The password was given before.
Su Lun carefully checked the mechanical device of the box and found nothing unusual, so he opened it carefully.
Looking again, there are two rows of potions in the box.
After identification, it is a recovery medicine for treating genetic aberrations.
"It's really fast, it was refined in one day"
Su Lun looked at the potions and sighed in his heart.
Moreover, the potion is still double.
Looking at the note above, in addition to the instructions for taking it, Su Lun also asked Su Lun, hoping that he could deliver the potion to Danny as soon as possible in an insurance way.
The urgency in the note also proves once again that Dr. Pickman, who is now fused with the alien creature, is really Danny's father.
Moreover, there are unexpected gains.
In addition to the potions and notes, Su Lun also saw a stack of densely written papers at the bottom of the box.
He opened it and glanced at it, and immediately knew what it was.
"Knowledge of neuromechanical technology!"
Su Lun also didn’t expect that Pickman would leave such an important thing in the tavern.
However, he quickly looked through it and discovered that this was just a part of neuromechanical technology.
"Does this mean you gave a small deposit?"
Su Lun sat in the corner of the restaurant, dragging his chin with one hand and looking through the information in front of him, thoughtfully.
When he broke out of the Black Barrier Reef, he peeled off some fragments of knowledge related to neuromechanics, so looking at this thick stack of information full of professional terms, it was not difficult to understand it.
Pickman paid part of the reward in advance, which was already an unexpected gain.
It is reasonable not to show everything.
Neither side has enough trust yet.
After Su Lun glanced at it a few times and had a rough idea in his mind, he walked out of the restaurant without any delay.
Then he went straight to two intelligence merchants in the city and spent a lot of money to send two potions to the Luying Imperial Capital. This is a very mature shipping line. About tomorrow, the goods will leave the Pirate City and go to Luying via some gray merchants' cargo ships. There will be no pirates robberies along the way and it will be smooth.
With these medicines, Danny's physical condition should be much better.
Su Lun also felt in a good mood.
After doing all this, he did not wander around, but went to sit in an inconspicuous corner of the "Fire Dance Tavern".
Not long after, a cloaked man came over and sat opposite him
The natural person to come is Dr. Pickman.
But this time, he was covered with a layer of bionic skin.
He looked at Su Lun and asked doubtfully: "Do you have anything else to do with me?"
It stands to reason that the transaction has already progressed to a stage, but there should be no need to meet again.
Su Lun ordered him a glass of wine and said directly: "I have already checked in the potion. I contacted Danny and told him about your situation."
He didn't have enough trust before, and he wasn't sure whether the "Dr. Pickman" in front of him was hostile, and he didn't explain some things.
Now that I see his attitude towards Danny, my doubts have basically been dispelled.
"you"
Hearing this, Pixar, who was still a little suspicious just now, realized something, and his tone was suddenly startled, "Can you contact Danny now?"
"Yeah."
Su Lun nodded and said: "He is also very happy to hear that you are not dead."
Now Danny is with Mr. Black in the Luying Imperial Capital.
The communicator of the mirror organization can just make contact.
With that said, before Pixar could ask, Su Lun set up a soundproof barrier, then dialed the communicator directly and used an external expansion device to play the communication voice out.
He said to the communicator: "Mr. Black, is Danny with you now? His father, Dr. Pickman, is with me."
Looking at his move, Pickman's eyes instantly showed a look of surprise and anticipation.
Not long after, a timid inquiry came from the other end of the communicator: "Father, is that you?"
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Pickman could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and said with disbelief: "Danny?!"
At this moment, the eyes of this middle-aged man who had been so indifferent before suddenly filled with crystal light
Father and son reminisced about old times and talked a lot.
After some testing, both parties discovered that the other end of the communicator was their close relatives.
They thought each other was dead before, but now, like a miracle, they have found the most precious person in their lives again.
The feeling of joy that has been lost cannot be faked.
Su Lun was listening quietly from the side. While he was relieved, his feeling became more and more strange.
During previous exchanges, he felt that the Dr. Pixar in front of him was more like a "monster". He was cold, wise, and defensive about the entire world, and could not feel much of the "humanity" of living people.
Looking at him communicating with Danny now, he is a completely different person.
It seemed that hope was rekindled, and suddenly he was a living person with emotions and desires.
After a long time, the two of them finished communicating.
Danny talked in detail about his experiences in the past few years and his current situation. Now Pixar's worries about "coercion, inducement and coercion" were completely dispelled.
Su Lun also clearly noticed that when Dr. Pixar looked at him again, his alertness finally disappeared
"Thank you, Mr. Sullen."
Pickman knew that Su Lun had been taking care of Danny and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you for taking care of Danny these days."
After the communication, the atmosphere of the conversation suddenly became less serious than before.
Suellen smiled nonchalantly and said the same thing as before: "Danny is my friend."
Pickman nodded happily. He naturally saw that Su Lun should have something else to ask him for, so he said, "Mr. Su Lun suddenly came to see you. Is there something else?"
Su Lun said: "Yes, Dr. Pickman, I am encountering some difficult problems now. I may need your help."
"Oh?"
Pickman thought it was a problem with the other half of the drawings.
But it seems awkward to talk about this issue now. Because for safety's sake, he didn't bring it either.
Unexpectedly, Su Lun said: "I need several special medicines to treat curse injuries now"
As he spoke, he took out the list of potions that Barrett had given him before.
When Pickman saw the names of the potions, he immediately guessed what they were doing and asked, "Do you want to help those in the Luying Judgment Corps?"
Su Lun didn't mean to hide it, "Yes."
Hearing this, Pickman had a strange look on his face and said: "I heard about it in the Fourth Fleet before, and the King of the North Sea intends to recruit those people. Now no one dares to contact them, and others are prevented from doing so. Contact. I didn’t expect Mr. Su Lun to know them.”
He didn't ask any more questions and agreed directly, "There is no big problem in refining these potions. It will take a little time and they can be prepared tonight. I happened to have prepared some materials before, so they won't be used. Targeted."
When Su Lun heard it, it was indeed possible!
Danny is a very powerful pharmacist, and his father must be even more powerful. Those medicines that seem extremely cutting-edge to outsiders are naturally a small problem for top pharmacists.
And communicating with smart people is so worry-free, Su Lun doesn't have to worry about other issues at all.
Pickman has thought of everything.
The supply matter was finally settled, Su Lun said: "Then I will cause trouble for you. These potions are indeed very important to me at the moment."
Pickman shook his head: "It's just a small problem, not a trouble."
These potions are indeed not a trouble for him.
However, he also warned: "But you must also be careful. As far as I know, many people are now staring at those in the Judgment Legion. If you have too deep contact, you may be implicated."
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
Suellen and Pickman are people on two different paths. Originally, it was impossible for their fates to intersect, but because of Danny, they became involved.
The two of them let down their guard and chatted more and more.
Su Lun thought that such a great scientist would not be able to remain a pirate forever, so he asked: "Mr. Pickman, what are your plans in the future? Staying in the pirate group is not a long-term solution."
"I don't know either."
When talking about this issue, Pickman showed a trace of confusion in his eyes, and sighed: "I thought that outside the control of Archduke Raphael, the outside would be better. But after I came up, I realized that the whole world is like this. Nobility represents everything, and there are wars and plundering everywhere. Even the Marfa Empire, the abnormal technological development under the ****, is also for war. But I think alchemy should benefit mankind and contribute to the progress of civilization. To add to the bricks and mortar. Not to provide evil ways for those conspirators to seek power. I just want to engage in pure scientific research."
When he joined the North Sea Fleet, he naturally came up with the idea of the Black Tower.
Now on the ground, the situation is different from what he thought.
Scientific research requires a lot of human and financial resources. If he does not join a big force, he will not have an environment to do research with peace of mind.
This left him confused.
Being a pirate was not what he wanted,
Don’t be a pirate,
Where can I go?
Su Lun frowned slightly and heard the helplessness in these words.
This Banksy has a thorough understanding of this era.
But how similar are his ideas to some of Mr. Mirror’s ideas?
Su Lun thought of something and said directly: "Dr. Pickman, if there is an absolutely neutral organization for the continuation of alchemical civilization, would you be interested in knowing about it? I mean, someone wants to establish an organization like a thousand An alchemy holy land like Auroville a few years ago was purely for the continuation of humankind and civilization as its goal."
When Pickman heard this, interest arose in his eyes, but he doubtfully asked: "Is there really such a place?"
"Yes! You should know about the previous "Mirror Organization" in Old Lington, right?"
Su Lun began to deceive himself.
He has not forgotten the instructions given to him by his senior sister. He has the important task of "rebuilding Dawn City".
But now there is no trace of the "New Dawn City", and we can only rely on those lofty ideas to influence
In the evening, the two left the tavern and chatted happily.
Su Lun is also looking forward to Danny's father joining "New Dawn City".
But I just tried to talk about it, but I didn’t have much hope.
After all, if this idea hadn't come from his senior sister, Su Lunbao would have looked at that person like a pyramid scheme.
The concept of "New Dawn City" is too hollow.
Ordinary people will never understand or believe it.
But he never thought that those words that Su Lun thought were deceptive would actually be surprisingly effective.
For ordinary people, we need to talk about power, money and interests.
But if you talk about your ideals with people who are truly high-minded, they will easily accept it!
You can even come up with some of your own ideas to add to that castle in the air!
Finally, after listening to Su Lun's words, Danny's father said that if there really is such a "New Dawn City", even if it is just a framework concept now, he would be willing to join!

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still gray and not bright, Su Lun sensed something and woke up from the brigade officer's room.
He went to the front desk and got a package in consignment.
Open it and move it away. There are dozens of potions inside, as well as a thick stack of information.
That's the missing piece of the "neuromechanical blueprint".
Su Lun didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.
If it was an exchange of interests, it would definitely take a lot of effort for him to get this blueprint.
There may be endless troubles.
But with trust and no intrigue, everything becomes very simple.
At this point, Su Lun has the complete drawings of this top-level technology that makes both empires jealous!
This also completes the most critical part of his "Mechanical Puppet Army"!
This technology is very complex and covers a wide range of fields, and can usually only be completed by large scientific research teams.
Because it requires not only high attainments in the field of biological sciences, but also equally deep skills in various fields of mechanics and alchemy.
It would be difficult for others to digest this drawing, but for Su Lun, he happened to know a little about all aspects of knowledge, not to mention the fragmented memories that had been stripped off before, so the threshold for understanding would be very low.
Although it still hasn't reached the point where it can be researched and developed, he doesn't need it, as long as it can be used!
He initially estimated that with these detailed drawings and spending some time reading them, he should be able to start trying to make test products.
Once successful, the mechanical puppet army will be just around the corner!
Su Lun didn't stay at the hotel any longer. He disguised himself and went to the dock.
Because it was agreed yesterday, it will be much easier for Su Lun to board the ship this time. He did not appear under the eyes of those "eyes". Instead, he found a blind spot and teleported directly onto the ship of the Judgment Legion.
As expected, after boarding the ship, the spatial fluctuations did not hide the well-trained former royal knights.
As soon as Su Lun landed, the knife and gun were placed on his neck.
"Who are you!"
If he hadn't said hello yesterday, he would have boarded the ship in this way, and there was a high probability that he would have been killed on the spot.
Su Lun lifted up his cloak and said, "I'm here to see Captain Barrett."
In the captain's room, Barrett was slightly surprised to see Su Lun again.
"You came so early? I thought you would encounter some trouble."
Barrett said without much expectation on his face.
Now he knows the situation very well. In the pirate city, anyone who wants to contact them to extract patterns cannot avoid those big pirates.
He felt that because the young man in front of him came so quickly, he probably didn't bring what he wanted.
Su Lun didn’t waste any more words. He took out more than ten storage rings and placed them on the table. Then he said, “Mr. Barrett, here are the supplies you need on yesterday’s list. I will give them to you.” You brought it."
"All?"
When Barrett heard that tone, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
Now in the window, he still had twelve brothers waiting for the medicine to save their lives. He did not pretend to be calm, but picked up the storage rings to check.
At this sight, the shock in his eyes immediately appeared on his face.
Looking at Su Lun again, his eyes became very complicated and he said: "The efficiency of this little brother is really surprising."
It turns out that after a certain foundation of trust is established, it becomes easier for two strangers to get along.
Su Lun brought the supplies that Barrett desperately needed, and the harshness in Barrett's eyes softened a lot.
At least, it’s not completely “empty talk” anymore.
Barrett did not hesitate and took out a storage ring and handed it to Su Lun, saying: "This is your reward."
After a pause, he added: "This transaction is very pleasant."
I was deceived when I came to Pirate City. Suddenly someone obeyed the rules, which naturally felt very good.
"Yeah."
Su Lun took it and found that the poisonous incense burner was inside, as well as more than ten quicksilver bricks!
He was not too surprised to find the poisonous incense burner.
But looking at those [Activated Silver], Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly.
Although the quantity of these silver bars is not enough to make an alchemy golem, it is much more than what was previously discussed.
This kind of god-level material is a truly priceless treasure. If you really want to sell it, you may just sell it.
This pile doesn’t cost 180 billion, so there’s no way you can buy it!
Su Lun asked directly: "So much material?"
Barrett said calmly: "These silver bars have no effect on me other than selling them for money. Since you said you are sure to make the 'Silver Hand', I'll give you some more as experimental materials."
The more advanced the material, the fewer people can use it.
In his opinion, if it is sold, it may eventually go to the top nobles, or even the Luying royal family.
Barrett didn't want to do that. After all, these things involve some unpleasant memories.
Anyway, if it is left in the hands of those who can’t use it, it’s just scrap metal. It’s better to give it to those who can use it.
And what if?
The young man in front of me can do things that most people cannot do. What he said may not be impossible.
I didn’t believe it yesterday, but today I believe it a little bit.
When Su Lun heard that it was indeed the reason, he felt relieved and did his job.
Barrett added: "I still have a lot of silver bullion in hand. When it is done, you can contact me again. We can trade again."
"Okay."
Su Lun also nodded.
With this, he also estimated the amount of silver bullion in Barrett's hand, which was indeed worth the trouble.
Now that we have "neuro-mechanical technology", it is very possible for the [Silver Hand] to come up with it.
Those silver nuggets seem to be in the bag
Although the two of them didn't have much contact, Su Lun also saw that Barrett was a straightforward and decisive person like him.
After the transaction was over, Su Lun was not in a hurry to leave.
Barrett naturally wanted to chat more with this "mysterious young man" who could provide them with supplies.
He asked directly: "Is the little brother a member of Archduke Raphael?"
"No."
Su Lun directly denied it.
Of course he knew that Barrett said this out of suspicion
But I didn’t explain it either.
"No?"
Barrett chuckled lightly, obviously with suspicion, and said meaningfully: "There are only a few forces that can arrange spies in the Military Intelligence Office. It seems that your identity is very special."
"That incident was arranged by a friend and has nothing to do with my identity."
Su Lun didn’t explain much.
Now that he was asked about his identity, Qian Qian's eyes turned, and he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Mr. Barrett, do you want to know what happened to the believer of the alien gods in the Cursed Valley last time?"
Barrett frowned when he heard this: "Believers of alien gods?"
These words immediately aroused his interest. After all, the battle in the Cursed Valley was the key point for their Holy Judgment Legion to fall into this situation!
However, until now, he still hasn't figured out what happened.
Looking at Su Lun's expression, he immediately knew that the person in front of him knew some key information.
After all, their judging panel was the only witness at that time!
Barrett quickly asked: "Do you know what is going on?"
Su Lun pondered for a moment and said: "The Cursed Valley is a place where gods are buried. I have told you before."
Barrett frowned as he listened. Although he had no source to prove whether this was correct, he chose to believe in the young man in front of him, "Then what do you mean by 'outer god'?"
"They are gods that do not belong to the alchemical system. Usually, they are leftover from ancient times."
Su Lun explained the concept that Mr. Jing explained to him before, and then said: "In that battle, you were rescued by your subordinates after you were unconscious. My friends and I killed the 'heretic'. I It is speculated that someone in the Luying royal family should have become a follower of the foreign **** and want to break the seal. As for his origin, he should be the deep-sea giant who almost destroyed the Daru civilization five hundred years ago."
"That's it"
When Barrett heard this, his eyes became extremely sharp.
The information in my mind was suddenly connected, and all the things I didn’t understand were immediately understood.
But what surprised him even more was: "You prevented Yeager from destroying the seal and also killed him?"
After all, he had seen with his own eyes the terrifying strength of Yeager who had summoned that mysterious will.
The key is that the insect’s condensed body cannot be killed at all.
Under normal circumstances, seventh-level professionals may not be able to do it
Did they kill them?
Barrett became more and more certain that there was a very terrifying force behind the young man in front of him!
Su Lun listened and nodded, "Yes. My friends and I went there to prevent someone from destroying the seal. Otherwise, once it is destroyed, the entire human civilization will suffer a devastating disaster"
He has already begun to lay the groundwork for some subsequent rhetoric.
Barrett listened silently.
But he was getting more and more curious.
I originally thought that Su Lun was from Archduke Raphael, but now my intuition told him that he was not.
That kind of conspirator is not worthy of such a righteous subordinate.
He asked directly: "How did you get this information?"
Su Lun did not answer directly. After thinking about it, he asked: "Before answering this question, I would like to ask what Mr. Barrett's plans are in the future. Are you going to find opportunities for yourself and continue to be loyal to the Luying royal family? Any other plans?"
Barrett narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
He guessed Su Lun's purpose: he wanted to recruit them.
The education that royal knights have received since childhood is that "the glory of the knight is above everything else" and "loyalty to the royal family is above everything else"!
If it was the previous mentality, even if the whole family was slaughtered and they really wanted to be rehabilitated, Barrett and his brothers might not hold grudges against the Luying royal family.
But recently, Barrett has been thinking a lot.
He has never been so confused before.
Yes, there is a big problem in the Luying royal family.
But now even if he is rehabilitated, so what?
Can I go back?
Can relatives survive?
He realized that the problem wasn't loyalty, but he didn't know what it was.
After thinking for a moment, Barrett said in a deep voice: "Even if I say our current situation is not difficult, you wouldn't believe it."
After saying this, he cleverly brought the topic back: "Your Excellency, where do we think we should go?"
He wanted to find out Su Lun's origins.
If you want to recruit, you must tell your background.
Su Lun was not surprised at all that he would say this. The best way to talk to smart people is not to deceive, but to state the true situation and let the other party make their own choice.
He said: "Suppose there is an absolutely neutral force. Its existence is only for the continuation of human and alchemical civilization. Are you interested in joining?"
When Barrett heard this, he seemed to have heard some kind of utopia. He shook his head and smiled: "Haha, it's impossible. The royal families of the two empires and the various lords will not allow such a place to exist. I admit what you said about absolute neutrality. The concept of land is very attractive. But under this system of centralized monarchy, it is impossible for such a place to exist. That would offend the interests of the aristocratic class and would definitely be eliminated by the times."
"There were no nobles in the Atria Empire a thousand years ago. The demigod Sir Isaac founded the absolutely neutral Auroville City"
Su Lun started the same trick again yesterday.
Because I have already said it once, everything is familiar.
He already has experience and knows that it is better to "talk about ideals" with people with high ideological levels than to talk about interests.
When you draw this pie, it becomes very big.
""
Barrett listened with deep solemnity and contemplation in his eyes.
Auroville is just a legend
A thousand years have passed since the Atria Empire era
But he didn't know why, and he had endless expectations for the "absolutely neutral place" described by the young man in front of him.
He suddenly felt that the confusion that had been bothering him for a long time had somewhat subsided.
As if the night is approaching, a beam of light from dawn shines into the endless darkness.
It's not bright enough, but it points a direction.
