Alchemy Greater China

More than 200 workers were divided into five groups, each with an ID card in their hand, passing through in an orderly manner.

Tesla was surprised to find that every worker would press his ID card two to four times on the metal table next to him when he passed.

Because there are tables on the left and right, this pause does not exceed ten seconds, so the speed of this group of workers entering the factory area has not slowed down significantly.

When it was Tesla's turn, he finally saw clearly that there were ink pads and forms on the metal table.

Ink pads and form paper are alternately placed on it, and each metal table has more than three pairs.

A worker in front of Tesla held his ID card, pressed it on the ink pad with ease, and then immediately stamped it on the form next to him.

The whole process was done in one go, without delay, which made it a luxury for Tesla to watch it again.

Fortunately, Tesla's high IQ made him still look good. He took out his ID card, looked carefully, and found that his number and name were impressively engraved on one side of the card, and there were grooves and grooves on the other side. , is three-dimensional.

The three-dimensional one means that the stamp can be stamped. Tesla smiled slightly, raised his head, dipped in the ink pad generously, and stretched hard on the blank space of the form paper! [

The number and name were printed on it, and it was printed in the blank space. The guard behind the key card didn't even look at it, so he let Tesla into the factory area.

After passing the key card and entering the factory area, Tesla could feel the vastness, vastness, and immensity of the factory area even more deeply. For a while, he didn't know whether to disperse with the flow of workers, or to find a place with Kunpeng Shipyard. related buildings.

Long Hao's request to Tesla was simple and clear, that is, to develop an electric motor capable of driving the submarine as soon as possible. Tesla thought: Since the half-half came here on the spot, why not report directly?It doesn't matter if Lin Mo comes or not.At least, the factory area of ​​Qianji City is not as strictly guarded as imagined!

Just as he was thinking, Ma Hua's voice sounded: "Tesla, I'm going to wait for the train at the railway branch, noon at the latest. I'm leaving Thousand Machines City."

The railway branch can be regarded as a temporary department. Its personnel are composed of three parties: the Carnegie Group, the Central Pacific Railway Company, and the development and construction team of Huaxia Town.

Carnegie provided steel, Central Pacific provided technology, and the development and construction brigade provided manpower. Their goal is quite straightforward: add all the places where railways can be built, and lay railroad tracks at the fastest speed, so that the roar of the train can echo in this narrow and long area. Desolate peninsula.

As for the railway after repair.What will this railway branch factory evolve into, whether it will be disbanded or transformed into another behemoth, is not what MCA should consider. What he considers now is to send this "apprentice" who can repair steam engines to the factory where he should go to start working. !

The construction of Qianji City is inseparable from the contribution of each worker, and since his 'apprentice' is so capable.I definitely can't just sit back and watch him work hard, and find someone later.Let him transform into a brain-dealer, so that his contribution to Thousand Machines City will definitely be even greater!

Ma Hua smiled and thought so.

"Well, Ma, take care all the way!"

"Hehe. Wait, you don't want to visit my place? Tesla, I'll take you to meet our design engineer. I'm confident that he will appreciate you...Maybe. We can continue to walk together today Woolen cloth?"

The first "Bole" that MCA thought of was the American engineer who managed its own "Railway Assault Team".

The engineer, from the Central Pacific Railroad Company, seemed quite haughty at first, with his nostrils upturned, but since the Stanford congressman came, the engineer's temper has become quite good.

"Well, don't you need it?"

Tesla didn't expect that MCA would be 'undead' to him, and after forcibly teaching a set of radio gymnastics, he wanted to drag himself to the north to repair the railway: Please, I just came to Qianji City, so you drag me to the Gobi desert. How can you bear the sun? [

"Why are you being so polite? I'm doing it for your own good..."

Ma Hua was only halfway through his words when suddenly there was a sound of hoofbeats behind him, the sound was dusty and the momentum was like wind!

"Stop! That man in front, with the moustache, stop!"

Two horses came running, and two soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army shouted on their backs. They held the reins in one hand and raised their guns in the other, and they rushed towards Tesla and Mahua.

Tesla was stunned, and Ma Hua couldn't figure it out for a while.

Looking at the posture of the cavalry, it is clear that the intention is not good. Could it be that Tesla has committed something?

People must not be able to outrun horses, so Mahua protected Tesla, firstly because he was afraid that he would be startled by horses, and secondly because he was foolish and did not understand the rules, so that he would run around and attract the opponent to shoot.

The horses came over from the door card, and in a blink of an eye, there was a hissing cry, and two soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army surrounded Tesla and Ma Hua, condescending, and shouted: "Take out the ID card! Check!"

Ma Hua said: "What nonsense? I come to work every day, you two don't know me, Teacher Ma?"

The soldier snorted, "Mr. Ma Hua, of course we recognize him, but this time it's not about you, but the white man named Nikola Tesla next to you!"

Tesla turned pale, stood up, and handed out his ID card: "What's wrong? What did I do wrong?"

The soldier didn't answer, took the ID card, read it carefully, then raised his head and said: "Take it away! It really is an unregistered one!"

After finishing speaking, another soldier got off his horse, grabbed and buckled Tesla, and grabbed Tesla.

Tesla was at a loss, and murmured: "What are you going to do, what are you going to do?"

The soldier said coldly: "We suspect that you have sneaked into the factory area with the intention of stealing secrets! Come with us, Mr. Tesla, well, maybe you don't have this name at all, and the results of the investigation will explain everything... Our Dragon Scale Army, I won't wrong a good person, and I won't let a bad person go!"

Ma Hua said in surprise: "Impossible, Tesla can't be a spy...ah, he's new to Qianji City, isn't it?"

Ma Hua did not dare to stop the Dragon Scale Army, this is the rule of Qianji City, the rapid development of Qianji City cannot do without the help of the strict management of the soldiers.

Mahua followed two cavalrymen and ran towards Menka.

Naturally, two legs cannot run with four legs, and by the time Mahua ran back to the door card, Tesla had already been taken into a hut.

Next to the key card.There are two rows of simple houses made of thin steel plates. This is not only a resting place for door card guards, but also a detention center for interrogating suspicious persons.

"Let me in! My friend is innocent, I want to vouch for him!"

"Don't shout, Mr. Ma, right? Okay, you go in and listen. But don't make trouble!" The guard in front of the hut glanced at Ma Hua, and stepped aside.

This is not because Menka's Dragon Scale Army guards are doing favoritism, but because they follow a rule: the interrogation in the factory area of ​​Qianji City is allowed to attend.

The creation of this regulation borrowed part of the laws of the United States, and its purpose was to release the spirit of justice, freedom and democracy in Qianji City, so as to attract more labor force from the United States, Mexico, South America and other places to join.

Qianji City would not absurdly think that it only depends on the townspeople of Huaxia Town, the Dragon Scale Army, and the three newly transported civilians.Only those who can take on the important task of constructing the next generation, the labor force of other skin colors are an indispensable supplement.

When Ma Hua entered the hut, he saw Tesla sitting across the table from the interrogator. Apart from his slightly pale face, he had not received any abuse.

"Come on, when you were naturalized, no one told you that you were not registered. You can't enter the factory area alone?" The interrogator pressed the paper with one hand and held a pen with the other.ask seriously.

"I, no one told me..."

Tesla was indeed wronged. He didn't know that ordinary people had to go through a process in the data department for naturalization. Unlike yesterday, in order for Tesla and Lin Mo to stay in the villa that night.Chief Chen Rui adopted the special approval process, and omitted all the matters that should be paid attention to.

It can't be said that Chen Rui is wrong, in his opinion, there is Lin Mo 'watching' Tesla.There is no way he would run from the living area to the factory area to find himself uncomfortable without registration.

After all, the living area and the factory area are far apart. Who would go to the factory area for a 'visit' alone in the early morning of the second day after moving in?

Are you a workaholic? ?

But who knows, man is not as good as God, things will always happen by chance, Lin Mo and Chen Rui can't predict that Tesla will get up early in the morning, go to various blocks for morning walks, and finally be greeted by the enthusiastic teacher Ma Hua , all the way to the factory area.

"I don't know? Hmph, can a sentence of not knowing explain why you got into the factory area?"

The interrogator is obviously a person who counts pennies and pennies. He stared at Tesla with a frosty face, and tapped his pen on the table: "I know, it's not an excuse card for a crime!"

"Hey……"

Tesla's face darkened, and he spoke for a while.

"Okay, didn't you just enter the factory area? You didn't even enter a factory! What secrets can you steal?"

Ma Hua couldn't bear to watch, so he interrupted: "I brought him in, if you want to interrogate, you can interrogate me as well!"

"who are you?"

"He's the one who brought people in." A guard beside him whispered to the interrogator: "Mahua, the one who taught people to do exercises!"

"Hmph, what the fuck? Ma Hua, since you have this need, let's come in together!"

The interrogator raised his eyes and waved his hand, the small iron door opened, and Ma Hua resolutely walked in with his head held high, and sat down beside Tesla.

"I have objections, why do you say that Mr. Tesla is a spy?"

Ma Hua pre-empted the attack and decided to give the interrogator a blow: He is Teacher Ma, who has ever seen him, the teacher has a bad tongue?

"Hey, we are not just talking about it, here, come and see!"

The interrogating soldier looked like a judge, but the essence was reasonable. He glanced at it, pulled out a piece of paper, and passed over the table.

"what is this?"

"This is... a sign-in form?"

Tesla looked over and answered MCA before interrogating the soldiers.

To their surprise, this piece of paper turned out to be the form that had been placed on the metal table at the door card.

"Mahua, I checked your information. You are an employee of the railway branch and a naturalized resident of Huaxia Town. Here, take a look, what is wrong with this form?"

The interrogator took a book handed over by his deputy, flipped through it casually, and asked questions in a businesslike manner.

However, the flashing smile in his eyes was caught by Mahua.

"What are you pretending to be? Wang Jinbing, you don't know me? I taught you radio gymnastics by hand. Are your old cold legs much better now? Hmph, believe it or not, I will put your official prestige today, Go back and learn to listen to your old Wang, so that he can be happy?"

Ma Hua didn't take this set, and fought back in one gulp.Then I lay down on the form and looked at it professionally.

The interrogating soldier Wang Jinbing smiled awkwardly, a crack appeared on his thousand-year-old frosty face, and Tesla was surprised to see it, and then secretly exhaled: Chinese, you must study hard.Otherwise, if they don't speak English, I'll be an idiot...

"What's wrong? I don't see it!"

MCA 'sniffed' for a while, said a table, very uncomfortable.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, look carefully."

Under Wang Jinbing's instruction, the deputy moved over and tapped his fingers on the form: "Under normal circumstances, there is a pattern behind each worker's signature, and behind this Mr. Tesla's name, is blank."

The sentence was in English, and Tesla hurriedly stretched his neck to read it. Sure enough, there were no less than twenty stamps stamped on this form.

Not aligned by column though.But there are patterns and no patterns after the name, not to mention it is clear at a glance.But definitely not hard to tell.

"This is called a pattern? I thought it was stained with ink pad..."

"What a pattern!"

The deputy smiled wryly in his heart, secretly thinking that Mr. Ma is really difficult to serve, and he is a bit of a mess, but on the other hand, if Ma Hua defends this white mustache like this, it is really unlikely that he is a spy.This is most likely a misunderstanding.

However, the misunderstanding was a misunderstanding, and the security regulations in the factory area still had to be obeyed, so the deputy held his temper.He continued to explain: "Before the workers go to work on the first day, they will record at the door card. Each pattern represents the factory they belong to. For example, the three wavy ones are shipyards, and the two overlapping square ones , it’s a steel factory... Hey, Mr. Ma, you can check your ID card and see if there is a pattern on it?”

Ma Hua fell silent, and he was not unreasonable, so he took out his ID card, squinted and scanned the side of the card back and forth.

"People are old, they are old, and they can't see clearly..."

Pfft, Wang Jinbing almost spat out a mouthful of blood: You seem to be under fifty, right?You are younger than my old man, you old man?Then my old man must be blind?

"Hehe, Mr. Ma works day and night, so take care of your health. The railway team you belong to has top-notch assault capabilities. You have won gold medals in both major battles. No one in Qianji City knows about it. ?”

The deputy hurriedly patted a flattery who was wearing everything but nothing, and then found a box of ink pads, and said with a smile: "If you stamp the seal, it will be clear at a glance?"

Ma Hua glared at this pair of hands, and muttered: "The young man is very smart, do you want to be transferred to the railway branch? I'm covering you, and our bonus is much higher than your gatekeepers..."

Hearing this, the deputy shuddered, knowing that Teacher Ma was thinking about him, so he quickly shrank back and hid behind Wang Jinbing.

Wang Jinbing coughed lightly, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Ma, do you need verification?"

"Test!"

Ma Hua grabbed the ID card and pounded it hard on the inkpad, then pressed down hard on the form, only to hear a light hissing sound, and the paper seemed to be torn.

Both Wang Jinbing and his deputy rolled their eyes: This Mahua, the paper has provoked you, so don't take it out on it if you are angry?A good form, divided into five horses.

Wang Jinbing snatched a piece of 'remnant corpse', pointed to it and said, "Look, this inverted horoscope pattern is the symbol of the railway branch. Teacher Ma, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Tesla leaned over to take a look, and on the shredded paper was covered with fresh red words, he didn't recognize the word 'Mahua', but the pattern of the inverted horoscope was clearly visible!

"I don't have a pattern, can't I enter the factory area?"

Tesla checked his ID card. Behind the name, it was empty, and there was no pattern engraved on it.

"According to the regulations, it is like this!"

"Actually, to be honest, with Teacher Mahua leading you, we are willing to believe that you entered by mistake!"

Wang Jinbing's tone softened a lot, "However, the regulations are the regulations. Until the matter is investigated, Mr. Tesla, you must stay here and not leave!"

"How long will you stay?"

"That's not certain. By the way, Mr. Tesla, don't you have an introducer? How did you get your ID card?" the deputy asked suddenly.

"Yes, yes! His name is Lin Mo. I live in Twelfth Street, Seventh Street Block, the living area. When I got up, he was still sleeping!"

Tesla's eyes lit up, and he quickly 'confessed' Lin Mo.

"Twelve streets in seven blocks?"

Ma Hua was taken aback, frowned, and fell into deep thought. Obviously, this street was both familiar and unfamiliar to him: Twelve Ways?I've definitely heard of it, but how come I'm not impressed? M, I am Teacher Ma, am I not familiar with the living area? !

"Go, send someone to look for this Lin Mo in the [-]th Avenue of the Seventh District..."

Just as Wang Jinbing was whispering to his deputy, the door suddenly slammed, 'bang bang', the iron door was knocked open!

"Who dares to trespass?"

Surprised, Wang Jinbing and his deputy quickly lowered their heads and drew their guns, only to see a guard stumbling in.

"Team, captain, yes, it's Cabaye. He said he would listen in. He has great strength. I opened the door a little too late, so he kicked it..." The guard was pale and sweaty, and finished in one breath, Looking back at the big black shadow, his eyes were full of fear.

The big black shadow showed its true colors, with a shiny bald head and a full body, isn't it Kabaye, the driver of the intercity train?

"Cabaye! You are crazy, kicking the door of the interrogation room, are you not afraid of deducting points?"

Wang Jinbing put away his pistol, flew into a rage, slapped the table, and yelled at Cabaye.

"Hmph, this little soldier is so gritty that he won't even open a door. I'm helping him. How can he be crazy? Wang Jinbing, don't put your hat on indiscriminately!"

Cabaye curled his lips, opened the small iron gate, walked to Mahua, and said, "Mahua, you are really useless, you can't even keep Mr. Tesla, if someone didn't tell me, you wouldn't be bullied?"
