Cataclysm King

Chapter 340: 503 Heavy Industry Machinery Factory

 Chapter 340 503 Heavy Machinery Factory

"The batch of mysterious parts drawings commissioned by the Haisen Chamber of Commerce before was most likely not produced by some ruins, but part of the 'Titan drawings'. The Oran royal family probably wanted to keep it secret and disperse the drawings to various forging houses. "Unfortunately, except for us who can barely produce some of these technically difficult drawings with our high-precision factories and special-grade mechanics, it is impossible for any other company to produce them."

"Thanks to my grandma's foresight, she has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the mechanical field over the years and trained a large number of excellent mechanical engineers. Outsiders have no idea that the mechanical technology currently mastered by our Song family is at least twenty years better than that of other families in the Federation. Year"

"Originally, we were businessmen, and we didn't intend to put our eggs in one basket. Cooperation is also inevitable. But the trouble is, according to the current situation, the Oran Royal Court definitely does not want to cooperate, but to put everything in my Song family We will all be swallowed up. When their people steal the core technology of the factory, we will lose value. The new king of Oran is too ambitious, but his vision is limited. He only regards mechanical technology as a tool of war, but far from it. It is seen as the development direction of future civilization."

ˆ “.”

 Stars fall into the city.

This is a slightly famous mechanical city in the Federation.

Due to its convenient railway transportation network and nearby mineral deposits, this city once produced about one-third of the military mechanical exoskeletons for the federation.

But no one knows that there is a little-known high-precision secret factory underground in Starfall City - [503 Heavy Industry Machinery Factory].

 This is the property of the Song family.

Mr. Jiu cast a surprised look: "Oh?"

  She wanted to stay, but as a former Oran professional agent, she knew the organization's methods very well.

There are underground treasure locations that no one else knows, vault passwords, mechanical blueprints, extraordinary information, secret treasures, bonds, contact information of various secret agents, and dirty information about federal big shots.

Decades ago, the Song family was the largest conglomerate in the Federation. In recent years, although it has become less famous after splitting and hiding, its background is still beyond ordinary people's imagination.

 Turning to look at his wife, he sighed and said goodbye: "My dear Monica, you must take care of yourself."

Monica looked at her husband and gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes full of reluctance.

If you don’t leave by yourself, you will become a coercion and a burden.

It can be said that the energy that the key can release is more exaggerated than anyone imagined.

Mr. Jiu reported: "Young master, I have made arrangements according to your request. However, I am sorry to talk too much, but if you leave the 'inheritance key' in the tavern, you are afraid of the people who will take care of it."

Song Can is still fair and fat.

"Those guys are all paying attention to me now. As long as I stay, there are so many fewer people in the factory who will not be suspected. As long as it is postponed until tomorrow morning, I can find a way to leave."

As he spoke, Song Can added: "Besides, you also know the person who will respond. That person is definitely trustworthy."

 The situation has become extremely urgent.

 “Yeah. Got it, Mr. Jiu.”

 But his face has lost the childishness of a boy, and the mustache he has grown also exudes a calmness that a mature businessman should have.

After the people left, Mr. Jiu, wearing a crisp suit, walked in.

 Of course we also know the importance of “inheritance key”.

"My dear Monica, it's too late if you don't leave now. I used a very important secret that my grandma left in the Royal Court of Oran and got an accurate message. The new king has plotted the Bai family to control the soul. The secret technique directly controls me and seizes the Song family. Now I have used all means to delay, but I can't delay it for long. Moreover, the southern continent has suffered a loss at the hands of the Titan Armor recently, so it will definitely treat the machinery factory as its top priority. Military target. I suspect that Starfall City may have been targeted. In the past few days, enemies are bound to come. If we really wait until then, we will have no chance."

Monica was already filled with tears. Although she couldn't bear it, she could only turn around and leave.

At this moment, in a luxurious bedroom in the 503 underground factory, Song Can and his wife Monica were having a parting conversation.

Song Can thought of something, and the small eyes on his chubby face gradually became distant, and he said calmly: "Miss Carter brought secret training, and Ji Xun is here. I entrusted that thing to him. So even if I die, The key will not fall into the hands of outsiders."

 After sending away his loved ones, Song Can’s face no longer had any tenderness, only a deep look remained.

Before the couple could talk any more, there was a knock on the door.

"No, let Master Morton and the others go first. No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Mr. Jiu said nothing while his cloudy eyes were filled with relief.

 It can even turn the entire federation upside down.

Song Can responded.

Mr. Jiu is also worried that such an important thing will fall into the hands of untrustworthy people.

Song Can knew what the old man was worried about, and explained: "The Bai family's methods are extraordinary, and they have been coveting the Song family for a long time. Although Miss Carter is trustworthy, in the current situation, the Lion Heart family may not be free of secrets. Being incited to rebel. If there is a problem with any of these links, then there will be no secrets around me now. So no matter who gets the key, it will be a disaster. If the 'key' is with my wife, once she is caught, She will definitely not survive. On the contrary, if not, she will still have a chance to survive and be used to blackmail me."

ˆ “.”

"Monica, this is the 'Inheritance Key'. It contains everything about our Song family. You must keep it safe. The people from the Lionheart family have already made arrangements. You first take the key with Master Morton and the others. Leave through the secret passage and hide."

 This arrangement has taken everything into account.

ˆ “.”

"But."

 Having seen his grandma’s arrangements before, he knew everything.

 As an old housekeeper who has been loyal to the Song family for hundreds of years, he knows everything about the Song family.

 This young head of the family is wiser and more steady than outsiders see.

“Young Master, the Lionheart family’s agents have arranged for the reception, and we must leave now.”

 This is everything of the Song family.

"My dear Monica, mechanical technology must be the future of civilization. Factories can be given up and wealth can be regained, but as long as people are still there, the hope of our Song family will still be there. Grandma left the Song family in my hands Here, I will never let it decay here. Take the hope of our Song family and our unborn child to the Old Continent. I bet the future of our Song family on the Alliance Army."

 “But, what about you?”

 He was curious about who else deserved absolute trust in this situation.

 This is a more suitable "outsider" than any Song family member.

He is also a person that others would never expect.

As soon as Mr. Jiu heard the name, the worry in his eyes disappeared instantly, and instead he sighed with emotion: "Oh, that's it."

That's right. If it's that person, of course he's trustworthy.

What's more, if the Song family is really gone, the most suitable holder of those things must be him.

Having said this, Song Can looked at the silver-haired old man and couldn't hide his guilt: "Mr. Jiu, you are the person that my grandma trusts the most, and you are also the person that I trust the most. You also know the current situation. , those people must be keeping an eye on you all the time. So I can’t arrange for you to leave tonight. Early tomorrow morning, I will arrange for you to go out of the city to **** a batch of ordnance, and then you can find your own opportunity."

 This is the last chance.

 He wanted to leave it to the most loyal old housekeeper of the Song family.

But before he finished speaking, Mr. Jiu shook his head, interrupted him, and asked: "Master, I'm leaving, where are you?"

Song Can hid the strange look in his eyes: "I will find a way myself."

Mr. Jiu smiled and shook his head, having seen through everything: "I'm leaving. All the pressure is on you, young master. Your last chance to leave is gone."

"I"

These words revealed Song Can's thoughts. What he wanted to say was stuck on his lips, but he couldn't say it.

Mr. Jiu noticed his embarrassment and stopped dwelling on the topic. Instead, he sighed slightly: "Master Can, I don't have a few more years to live. It's only because of the kindness of the young lady that I met you, and I am where I am today."

Of course the old man knows that he must be the "key target" among the core members of the Song family who is most watched by the outside world.

 The priority level is even higher than that of the head of the family, Song Can.

  After all, he has witnessed the Song family’s complete rise for a hundred years and has mastered almost all the secrets within the family.

Once you leave, it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion, and no one can leave.

Mr. Jiu is very aware of his situation.

But instead of worrying about his safety, he looked at Song Can with a face full of relief and said, "Before, I thought that Master Can was a bit too tough and too timid. It may take a few years before he can fully control it." The Song family. Now it seems that the young lady has indeed got the right person."

ˆ “.”

Song Can listened with a twinkling light in his eyes and said nothing.

Mr. Jiu's old face was full of smiles, and he continued: "After the death of the young lady, Master Can, you stabilized the civil strife of the Song family in a short period of time. You also went to the parliament to win the support of several major families, and preserved the Song family to the greatest extent. Rights and interests. The Song family, which everyone thought was bound to fall apart, was finally perfectly preserved. In the eyes of outsiders, these are all arranged by the young lady. But only the old slave knows that the young master walks on thin ice every step of the way, how far-sighted he is."

He is by Song Can's side every day. Not to mention outsiders, he is also the only person within the Song family who can clearly see the skills of the young helmsman.

After a pause, the old man continued: "Later, the Oran Royal Court was restored, and other families followed the new king one after another. Only Young Master Can was aware of the royal family's ambitions from the beginning, and despite all the opinions, he did something that made people laugh. Misunderstood 'ridiculous decision-making'. This also makes people think that you are just a dandy young master from Mengyin ancestors. It is precisely because of contempt that we have today's opportunity, otherwise the Song family would have ceased to exist long ago."

Mr. Jiu has always been a man of few words.

 This is the first time that I have said so much in front of Song Can.

 But it’s like parting words.      If you don't say it again, there is no chance.

"My life has been exciting enough. After the young lady left, I actually no longer wanted to take care of these mundane things. The reason why I still hold the position of 'big housekeeper' is not because of greed. It's just because the young lady asked me, Let me take care of Young Master Can until you can completely take over the Song family."

 “Now, it’s ready.”

He sighed happily and continued: "When I encountered a crisis many times before, I thought that I needed to use some of the back-up skills left by the young lady. But it didn't happen once. Every time, young master, you handled it just right. . Once it was an accident, then it will be like this every time, and you are not showing off your skills, which is your true ability, young master. No one else can do this better. "

Pity.

If it hadn't been for the changes in the Southern Continent, the Song family would have been completely on the right track now.

This new head of the Song family must also be a business wizard that attracts much attention.

ˆ “.”

Song Can listened to those words silently and did not deny them.

The Song family has a great business, but the head of the family is not that easy to be.

Only he himself knows the dangers and sorrows involved.

Hearing what Mr. Jiu said, Song Can couldn't help but whisper softly: "Since grandma has left the Song family in my hands, I won't let it collapse here."

Hearing this, Mr. Jiu smiled slightly.

On his wrinkled face, he seemed to have heard the most gratifying sentence.

Having said this, the old housekeeper said something meaningful: "The hope of the Song family lies in you, Master Can."

Song Can didn't know why, but when he heard "hope", his expression showed a hint of bitterness.

In this current situation, he tried his best and could only do this.

 But the Song family is in their own hands, and now they are facing the threat of destruction.

Mr. Jiu saw the self-mockery in his expression and said, "Master, you don't have to blame yourself, you have done a good enough job."

ˆ “.”

Song Can didn’t say anything, and only sighed slightly in his heart.

How could you not blame yourself?

 Although it was due to force majeure, the Song family was in danger of collapse in his own hands after all. The feeling of powerlessness was indescribable.

 Nothing you can say now can save the situation.

Song Can's thoughts were flowing when suddenly, Mr. Jiu said in a calm tone: "Master, you know, you actually have a better choice to protect the Song family. But you are too kind and don't want to make that choice. "

ˆ “.”

Song Can listened and raised his head suddenly.

He looked at the old man who had been loyal to the Song family for hundreds of years, as if he had guessed what he was going to say next.

Mr. Jiu had a calm smile on his lips, but there was a sharpness in his eyes that he had never seen before. His tone was calm and decisive: "Madam has left, but she may not have been watched. In ten minutes, I will make an excuse. Leave the machinery factory through the back door. Once I leave, I will definitely attract those who are following me. Master, please find a way to leave while you have the opportunity."

Hearing his current state of mind, Song Can couldn't help but shook violently: "Mr. Jiu, you!!"

right!

This is actually the best solution!

 Let Mr. Jiu, the chief steward of the Song family, attract the enemy's firepower, which is the best "fire target" for others to evacuate!

 The same goes for Song Can!

 Song Can is not unexpected.

 But I never thought of it that way.

 Because in this way, all the firepower was attracted to Mr. Jiu, and the old man would definitely die.

Since Mr. Jiu proposed this plan, he certainly knew what his move meant.

There was no fear of death on the old man's face, only a relieved smile: "Miss Can, I know you are kind-hearted, and you asked me to tell you a truth at the right time. I didn't have the chance to tell you before, but now is the time."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Can and said solemnly: "Miss said that in the position of the speaker, you often have no control over yourself. It is a good thing for a businessman to value emotion and justice. This is your human advantage. But Sometimes it is also the enemy's weakness against you. You have to understand the truth that no one can have the perfect choice to take care of everything at any time. Your hesitation will not only harm yourself, but also kill more people."

ˆ “.”

Song Can’s brows furrowed as he heard this.

 He knew this very well.

Mr. Jiu was like a cold-blooded scalpel, cutting open the human nature, and continued: "Just like the young master, your seventh uncle, he cheated, colluded with the government, and betrayed the family's interests. Originally, he had to be dealt with according to the family law, but you The Second Grandpa came to plead for mercy. For the sake of blood kinship, you just kicked him out of the house. This incident eventually led to many troubles, including the collective defection of the Longcheng stewards, which caused the family to suffer huge losses and many people died. It was the seventh master who was out for revenge and was causing trouble in secret. Later, it was the old slave who sent someone to deal with it."

ˆ “.”

Song Can was like a sincere student, listening quietly.

This matter is indeed the bitter result of his indecision.

Mr. Jiu finally said: "But from today on, I can only rely on you, young master, to make your own decision."

As he spoke, he glanced at his pocket watch from the corner of his eye.

This old man, who has been punctual all his life, finally bowed to the head of the family to whom he was loyal: "The old slave has gone. Master Can, take care of yourself."

Song Can shouted softly: "Mr. Jiu!"

However,

Mr. Jiu did not put Song Can in trouble.

 There was no room for him to refuse.

 After saying that, he disobeyed the master's order for the first time and turned around and left the room without hesitation.

Song Can was left staring blankly at the back, feeling as if a large piece of his heart had been hollowed out, feeling empty.

 This scene was like watching his most beloved grandma pass away.

 The old man who cared about himself is gone.

 In the dark wilderness, a two-hundred-person reconnaissance team has quietly moved over.

 This is a purely industrial city, with bright lights in the city.

The steam boiler chugs incessantly, and the tall chimneys billow out exhaust gases.

 In the dark wilderness, it sounded like a sleeping and snoring steel monster.

 Pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness stared at the city, already revealing their greedy and murderous eyes.

 Mechanical technology is taboo in the Southern Continent.

 Other cities were destroyed by burning, killing, looting, but in the case of the Mechanical City, the only result was massacre.

"Ahead is the 'Starfall City'. This is a very important mechanical town in the Eastern Wasteland. Intelligence shows that there may be a production base for Titan mechanical armor hidden here. Everyone spread out and infiltrate, don't take action yet, look for suspicious target markers Come out. Wait for the subsequent large forces to catch up and then massacre the city!"

 “Yes, leader!”

ˆ “.”

After listening to the instructions, the assassins dispersed and disappeared into the darkness.

Ji Xun, who was hiding in the team, looked at the mechanical city in front of him that was still producing normally, and murmured in his heart: "It shouldn't be too late."

 The fact that they can still produce normally means that no major changes have occurred in the city.

Katrina said that the Song family has a secret workshop here.

 By coincidence, people from the Southern Continent are also eyeing this city.

 Originally I planned to come by myself.

I didn’t expect to happen upon a military operation, so I followed along.

Ji Xun had actually guessed before that the Southern Continent would not be destroyed for a while, and the Oran Royal Court would not be beheaded.

 The military task at this stage must be to focus on the removal of various mechanical factories.

 They can wait for the new king of Oran to consolidate his power.

But we will never allow the mass production of Titan mechanical armor that can threaten the top powerhouses in the southern continent.

Without thinking much, Ji Xun's figure disappeared into the darkness and sped towards the mechanical city.
